COLOSSAL MONUMENT TO SHAKsPEARE.-Iti is a
subject Of frequent remark by foreigners that
there is in this country no monument to Shaks-
peare, Signor Ghardigni has conceived the idea
of erecting a gigantic statue of the great drama
tist Russia, he says, boasts her colossal statue
of Peter the Great; Italy of Charles Borromeo J;
Bavaria its gigantic statue, the head Of which
forms a conspicuous ornament at the Crystal
Palace. Why should not England have her
great statue. Signor Chardigni proposes that
the statue should be hundred feet high, of
cast iron, formed by q new process which he has
invented. In the statue it is proposed to have
three floors, with staircase for ascending to
, the top or head of the monument. These three
floors will divide the statue into three rooms, of
about eighty feet in circumference and fifteen
feet each in height, the sides of which the artist
proposes should be adorned with bassi-relievo,
in cast iron, representing all the chief scenes of
Shakspeare's plays. In the middle of the first
floor are to be statues, in cast iron of the Queen
and Prince Albert. The third floor of the statue,
reaching to the head, will afford a most splendid
panoramic view of London, through the aper-
lures for the eyes, which, following the proper
tions of the rest of the statue, will be more than
two feet wide. In addition to the light which
will come from the apertures of the eyes, a large
quantity Of light will be admitted by The top Of
the head, which is for this purpose intended to
be made of glass In addition to this, the folds
of the drapery of the statue will admit variety
of openings, not visible from below, through
which light and air may be introduced. 1t is
also proposed it should contain a library of the
best editions of Shakspeare's works. Busts, in
cast iron, of contemporaries of Shakespeare, and OF
those whose names have been worthily associated
with his, would be fitting ornaments of the in
terror. The statue would stand on pedestal Of
stone, in which should be the entrance, through
doors of cast iron, whose panels might be
adorned with appropriate bassi-relievo. Ii
has been suggested that the Regents Park
or the top Of Primrose Hill, are fitting spots
for its erection. journal Of the Society Of Arts

Surrenoe has TRANSFERRED near Gallon, which,
If the apparently well grounded suspicious ofthe
citizens are correct, reveals one Of the most
| atrocious outrages ever perpetrated. on FIJI
day evening, as the Bellefontaine train of cars
| was coming from Crestline, (whither they had
been to make the usual connection with the
Ohio and Pennsylvania road,) the engineer,
| when half way between that point and Gallon
| discovered man sitting upon the track.
Upon sounding the usual alarm, the man did
not move, but seemed to have his gaze fixed
| upon the lamp of the engine, whereupon the
| engineer reversed the motion of the machine,
| but before stoppage could be erected, the
cars were upon him. When taken up he was
found to be in a most deplorable state. The
marks of frightful confusion were upon his
skull, his collar bone and knee pan were
broken and numerous other injuries inflicted.
| He was taken to the station, where his wounds
were dressed, after which he was removed to
more comfortable quarters.
| But the dark feature of the occurrence is yet
to be given. The surgeon who dressed his
wounds says the blow on the skull must have
been given previous othe infection of the other
wound, and was apparently given with a
bludgeon; and that the blow must have been
attended with the effusion of considerable
blood, whereas no blood was found near him
| when taken up What tends to envelope the
affair in still greater mystery is the fact Of his
having had in his possession, the same day,
between one and two hundred dollars in gold,
none of which was found upon him after the
accident From these and other circumstances,
it is the universal opinion in Gallon that he has
been waylaid and beaten until he became in
sensible; and that after his pockets were
| rifed he was placed upon the track in order
that he might be despatched by the cars.
He was still living at u o'clock on Saturday
night, but his recovery is hopeless He has not
spoken since the occurrence, but has remained
perfectly insensible. Should he have a lucid
interval, it is hoped that some clue can be OBJ
tanned by which Gf he has really been the vic
tim of o conspiracy the Hends in human shape
can be detected and receive the condign punish.

by Coroner O'Donnell in the usual form. He
said he was native Of Nelson county, Kentucky,
S8 years Of age, practical physician, and was
connected with drug store. In regard to the
charge of murder, he said
GO l am aware a statement made by me cannot
be used as evidence in my favor The crcum-
stances would wish to explain could have been
easily proved by the facts which might have
been ELECTED on cross-e1amination of the wit
nesses against me. As the Coroner refused to
permit me or my counsel to cross examine upon
the case before the Jury, respectfully decline
to make any statement of the particulars of the
| case; but do most solemnly declare that, what
| ever did at the unfortunate and melancholy
| occurrence which has placed me now before
you, did it in self-defence, against most sud
den and violent and unexpected attack upon me
