KING'S CROSS.

Whatever may tend towards the recollection of the revered de-
parted Monarch will doubtless be received with that degree of loyal
feeling which is so characteristic of the true Englishman.
The splendid National Monument of the _King's Cross (com-
menced* Feproary last by a few loyal, though humble individuals)
to commemorate the reign of George the Fourth, approaches now
rapidly to completion, and will be finished according to the design
of Mr. Stephen Geary, architect (a print of which has been for-
warded to us). We hesitate not to say it will form One of the moat
splendid and ornamental objects that adorn the envirods'of the me-
tropolis, combining not only simplicity of design, but chastity of
Grecian architecture.
The Colossal Statue of his late Majesty, surrounded-with the em.
blematkal representatives of the Empire, viz.—St. George, St. An.
drew, St. Patrick, and St. David, will form additions to the various
productions of that eminent artist and sculptor,.ll.ll% Seivier, Esq.
who is now busily employed upon them.
Although credibly informed, we can scarcely believe the a.nount
of subscriptions received to this public memento are very far from
meeting the amount already expended.
Surely a public appeal need only be made, and we doubt whether
there is an Etiglishman Irishman, Scotclunan, or Welchman, who
possesses a spark of British loyalty in his breast, who will not sub-
scribe his mite towards handing down to posterity a public token of
attachment towards the departed and beloved Monarch, George the
Fourth.

LAWS OF ALFRED.

The following extract from the Laws of Alfred, prefixed as a
motto,_ may form a useful lesson for the legislators even of this
enlightened age :-
1, Mena I, King Alfred, gathered these together, and com-
manded many of those to be written down which our forefathers
observed—those which I liked,—and those which I did not like by
the advice of my Witan I threw aside. For I durst not venture
to set down in writing over many of my own, since I knew not
what among them would please those who should come after us.
But those which I met with either of the days of me, my kinsman,
or of Offs, King of Marla, or of Aethelberht, who was the first of
the English who received baptistn,—those which appeared to one
the justest,—l have hoe collected, and abandoned the others.
Then I, Alfred, King of the West Barons, showed these vo all my
Winn, and they then said that they were all willing to observe
them."
CHARACTER or ALFRED.
'wally age or country such a prince would be a prodigy. Per-
haps there Is no example of any man who so happily combined the
magnanimous with the mild virtues, who joined so much energy in
war with so remarkable a cultivation of the useful and beautiful
arts of peace, and whose versatile faculties were so happily inserted
in their due place and measure as to support and secure each other.
and give solidity and strength to the whole character. That such a
miracle should occur in a barbarous age and nation; that study
should be thus pursued in the midst of civil and foreign wan by a
monarch who suffered almost incessantly from painful maladies; and
that it so little encroached on the duties of government as to leave him
!for ages the pepularmodel for exact and watchful justice, are facts of
so extraordinary a nature, that they may well excuse those who have
suspected that there are some exaggeration and suppression in the nar-
rative of ids reign. Bat Asses wntes with the simplicity of an honest
eye-witness. 'File Saxon Chronicle is a dry and %wants:sing Gem-
peed. The Norman historiens, who seem to have had his dia-
ries and note-books in their hands, choose him as 'the glory of
the land which was become their own. There is no subject as
which unanimous tradition is so nearly mildant evidence, as
ea the Sailacio• of one man over others of the same condition.
Thtt bright image MAY long be held up before the national mind.
This tradition, however paradoxical the assertion may appear.
