monial of esteem, and that a subscrip- 
tion for a suitable monument should be 
immediately opened. The names of the 
following gentlemen already appear upon 
the committee:—Peter Moore, Esq. 
M.P.; D. Sykes, Esq. M.P.; Rev. Dr. 
§. Parr; Dr. J.B Gilchrist; R. Sykes, 
Esq.: 5. Peach, Esq.; P. Walker, Esq. ; 
T. Northmore, Esq.; C. Dickenson,

G. Kinlock, Esq.; J. S. Buckingham, 
Esq.; Hon. H. G. Bennet, M.P.; Joseph 
Hume, Esq. M.P. ; Charles Wyatt, Esq. ; 
Gen. Long; R. M. Beverley, Esq.; 
— Henning, Esq. For a domestic or 
private memorial of this upright, bene- 
volent, and perseveringly consistent 
veteran, in the championship, of what he 
regarded as the constitutional rights 
and liberties of his country, the very 
interesting portrait of the venerable 
Major, in his 8]st year, drawn and en- 
graved by Mr. H. Meyer, will be held, 
of conrse,in high and popular estimation. 
{In the Biographical Notice of this dis- 
tinguished character (p. 278 of the Monthly 
Magazine for October last), there are two 
slight inaccuracies which we wish to rectify. 
He did not, as might be inferred from the 
words, “left his paternal roof, to engage in 
the service of Frederick the Great, King of 
Prussia,” ever join the army of that sove- 
reign ; he only set out from home witb that 
intention. It is also not correct that the 
worthy major was “ provoked by insults 
from the Lord Lieutenant to resign the 
office of Major of the Nottinghamshire 
Militia ;” the fact being that ‘‘ advantage 
was taken of an old act of parliament to de- 
clare one of the m jors a supernumerary.’’ | 
Mr. John White, the district sur- 
veyor of Mary-le-bone, under the metro- 
polis Building Act, 25 Geo, III., has 
publicly stated, that in 17 years up to 
17th of Nov. last, only 16 houses and 
buildings had been consumed by fire iu 
Mary-le-bone, out of an average num- 
ber of 8,300 inhabited houses, or only 
one in 8,819, annually ! At these sixteen 
fires, only two houses communicated 
the fire from one to the other, as Mr. 
W. believes, viz. a floor-cloth manu- 
factory, and Lady Huntingdon’s chapel. 
Mr. Mantex1, of Castle-place, Lewes, 
has discovered in the sand-stone of 
Sussex the teeth of an herbivorous 
reptile, of enormous magnitude. These 
teeth agree, more closely, with those of 
the Iguana of Barbadoes, and the West 
Indies, than with those of any of the 
other recent lacertz; a circumstance 
which has induced Mr. M. to propose 
Literary and Miscellaneous Intelligence. 
443 
distinguishing this fossil monster by the 
name of Iguano-saurus. WVertebre, ribs, 
thigh-bones, and other detached parts 
of the skeletons of gigantic lacerte, 
have also been discovered in the same 
strata; some of which belong to the 
Megalo-saurus of Stonesfield, described 
by Professor Buckland ; and others, in 
all probability, to the Iguano-saurus. 
A portion of a thigh-bone, in Mr. M.’s 
collection, must, upon a moderate com- 
putation, have belonged to.an individual 
nearly sixty feet long, and as high as an 
elephant! In Mr. Mantell’s expected 
work on the fossils of Tilgate Forest 
(which will include the history of the 
fossils of the sandstone from Hastings 
to Horsham), these interesting relics 
of a former world will be figured and 
described.
