It must be now nearly a twelvemonth since a scaffolding was erected round the statue of Queen Anne, in front of St. Paul's, for the purpose, we think it was said, of restoring her il[ajesty't nose. Up to this time, however, the scaff'olding remains : statg qguo, and, it is said, the nose also. ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE.-Ol Milonday, the 19th insta-&t, a child, the son of a man named} Roche, getting up on a high bank, on the lands of Sarsfieldcourt, perceived a labourer, whom his fa- ther was in the habit of enmploying, engaged in killing a lamb. The little boy said he would tel his father, when immediately the wretch turned from the lamb he had been engaged with, said that he would take care no tales slhould be told, and seizing upon the boy, cut his Lhroat, so as, however, not-to divide the windpipe. The child is in much danger, but still lives.-Cork Advcrtiser. iAdvertisemrnrit|-;Merahant8 and tradesmen are respectfully in- vited to the examinatiou of the " New !llercantile Assistant (Gene- ral Check Book and Interest Tables," bv Air.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,-A motion has recendy been submitted to the Common Council for establishing a Citv Library, wherein might be deposited all historical, commercial, and other works, relating to the origin, antiquities, progress, customs, and laws of the cities of London aned Wertminster, and the bnroigh of Southwark. It strikes me, if this Library Is established by the Common Council, that in the course of time, individuals, or o:her literary institutions, such as the Brirish Aluseum, or the public libraries of Oxford and Cambridge, miglit be induced to present duplicates or scarce works to the city - a record of which donations might be exhibited in the librarr. It may not be generally known that the city once possessed a valuable librtry part of which they lost by its being removed by one of the Edwards to Somerset-house, the then residence of the Lord Protec- tor Somerset, which was never retunied, and many were destroyed by the fire of London. I happen to know that there still remain many valuable works wlhich would formn a commencement of such a collection, which would prove a source of important intelligence upon all matters which might in future become the subject of ptablic or private inquiry; and although it may not be furnishied like the roomu whichSpenae has tdescribedin the Houseof Alma, it mav have its " memorable gests of fatmous wizards; and with picturals, of magistrates, of courts, of tribunas, of pageants, of stattes, of policy, of laws, of judgments, of decretals. and that whirh in th, m.,,-tA ay thought wittily." - I . .. civ;l.

Al out 10 or 12 days bacc, as lr. Ed<e. Hales, of London-wall, waa retarning to town from Epsorn, he stopped at a pablic-house to get a draught of ale; and whilst in the house, hd hcard a shouting I on the rodx,which made him hasten to the door, lets the horse, which was rather skittisb, should run ofF with'the gig. When Ar. Hales, however, came out, he discovered that the shouts proceeded from a number of persons chasing a large dog that had bit ten two labourers in an adjoiniag farm-yard; by this time the animal was cl'ose at hand, and the horse, terrilied by the increasing noises. became com- pletely unmanageable, and darted into the middle of the road just as the dog came by, which, snapping at every thing likely to impede its course seized Mr. iales by *he leit leg, and no.with- standing he wore boots, inflicted a ve-y severe and pain- fut wound. On recovering from his fright, he washed the part with spirits, and applying a bandage, returned home, and thought notking 4more about it tbr four or five dAys, when the leg began to show alarming symptoms of irritation, and swelled to a great degree. Surgical aid was then caUed in, all the flesh near the wound was cut away, and hopes were entertained thtt the poison had not gommuuicated to the system. Unfortunately this supposition was not well founded: on the following morning he becane insensible to every attention; talked incoherently, and evincing the grtatest I dislike of all li dtids, particulsrly water ; and on Saturdav death ut aperiod tothesuffarnsof this unfortunaLte VoUng man. Mr. Hales was formnerly a clerk in the Navy-Pay-Otface. This is the fourth instance where death has followed the bite of dogs in the vi- cinity of London all withiin the space of one month. The Magi- strate: of Union-hall have issued a printed notice or caution to per- sons against suffering dogs to go abroatl unmuzzled during this dangerous season. On Monday last, a fine young woman, about twenty years of age, dtied in this town of this frightful malady. The physifcans who attended her found some difficulty in tracing the fact of her being bitten by a dog : at least the time when she was bitten could not be iatinfactorily discovered. Such a horror have the lower classes of this disease, that the relations of the deceased, when they fbund that the medical men believed hertobe sufferisgunderhydroplsobia, were desirous rather to throw difficulties in the way of an inquiry into its orgin, that, if possible, it migit be believed that this was not her disease. The symptoms, however, were quite convincing. The poor girl wag convulsed by the least breatli of airreaching her, or by tte attemnpt to swallow any liquid; and she died from the violence of these convulsions. Sie was .ensible almost up to the mement of her death. The body, on being opened, showed every sympton of sound health.

It apPear, itrom z paragraph contaiiied ia the Etoile of the 1st instant, that some executions have taken place at Corunna, on account of political offences. Nine men suf- fered for what mtay be called the Constitutional cause. The crime imputed to them was, the condemniation of 51 per- sons attached to the Despotism and Inquisition. We blame violence on either side, except when men are opposed to each other in the field: but we are not convinced of the truth of the charge alleged against the nine persons who hate recently suffered on such authority as that of their enemfes.

With unfeigned regret we announce to our readers that Lord By ON is no more. A courier arrived yesterday with the intelligence from Missolonghi, where the fatal event took placeon the l9thult. His Lordship'sdeathwas the conse- quence of an inflammatory cold, which, after only ten days' continuance, carried to a premature grave the most remark- able Englishman of his generation. We know not how many of our countrymen may share the feelings with which this news has affected us. There were indivi(luals more to be approved for moral qualities than Lord BYnoN-to be more safely followed, sr *nore tenderly beloved; but there lives no man on earth whose sudden departure from it, under the circumstances in which that nobleman was cut off, appears to us more calculated to impress the mind with profound and unmingled mourning. LordBYRoN was doomed to pay that price which Nature soiinetimes charges for stupendoas intellect, in the gloom of his pmagipation, and the intractable energy of his pa Rions. Amazing power, variously directed, was the m; rk 1y which he was distinguished far above all his co temporaries. His dominios was the sublime--it was iis natilve hone; at intervals he plunged into the lowerI itmosphere for amusement, but his aiy was'-bmief.$I- was his proper nature to ascend but ont the summit of his ilevanion, his ieading passion was to evince his superiority, by launching-his melanchuly. scorn at mankind. That` nobist of eftlerprises, the deliverance of Greece, employed tlhe. -*hole of JFord BYBON's latter days-of his pecuniary Xesotirces, and of his masculine spirit. It was a cause worthy of -a poet and a hero; and it is consolatory to find, that the people for, whom he would have devoted his life seemo to have felt tihe full value of his exertions anid his sacyifices. The affe&tioiitte veneration in which our de- ceased countrypan was held, appears as well from the pri- vate letter of MAVROCOYnIATO, as from the deep and uni- versal mourning wlhiclh was observed at Missolonglii from the hour at wliich his death was made public. Had he but died in batt.le against slaves aind infidels, for a Christian people struggling to be free, his own fame would have re- ceived its full consummatieni, aml his wishes, as is well un- derstood, their complete fulfilment.
