THE TLISNERZLI.I WRELTEL-1.11 reply to Mr John Rose, Maryport, who applied asking if Mr Turnerelli boald refund the money subscribed for the wreath, as he was desirous of returning it to sabscribars, Mr Tarnerelli writes from Leamington stating that he is leaving for Brighton, possibly for the Continent, for he needs a little rest. He assures Mr Rose that on his return he will meet his (Mr Rose's) wishes in every possible manner. He has already taken out of his income a considerable sum to pay expenses, and must have a little time to arrange matters, but no man shall have occasion, and never had to complain of him in money matters, so that Mr Rose may rest assured on that point. If he could, Mr Turnerelli adds he should have liked to have exhibited the wreath in Marypori,, with an address from him, and have handed over to Mr Ross publicly the amount. In that way the wreath would be paying its own expenses, for there is a debt paid out of his own pocket of the very large sum upon it. In conclusion he says—" Drop me a line and say u have full confidence in me. One of my is tants will: acknowledge it in my abseqee. I write in all kindness." Up to the 13th inst. only one application had been made to return;subsoriptions, and another came on the 14th. He had promised to return the oontributions if written to bethe 14th.
