 had ascertained that a handsome marble monument might be erected to the 

 memory of tlie late Ailminil Sir P. Malcolm in the metropolitan Cathedral 

 of .St. Paul's for the sum of £1,000. The committee therefore recommended 

 that as soon as the subscriptions should amount to that sum. Mr. Bailey lie 

 requested to submit designs for the intended monument for the approijation 

 of the committee, and that he be authorised to execute a monument according 

 to such of the designs as should be approved of by the committee.

 meuci' I the alleral 



wooden roadway ^ . „. i ■ , ■ ,„ , ,,--i 



alteration, much noise from the carriages passing through the Old Bailey, 



ation agreed to by the Common Council, id' laying down a 

 in lieu of the stone pitching hitherto cmjiloyed. By the 



.„,,^^^„„., noise from the carriages passing through the Old Bailey, 



during the silting of the Central Criminal Court, will be prevented, without 

 the nuisance and exiK-nse of straw, which has lillherlo been laid down on the 

 above occasions. 



The Sutherliwil A/o»«m™/.— During the storm of Tuesday the loth June, 

 the monument erecte.l to the late Duke of Sutherland, on Lillesh.ill Hill, 

 Salop was struck by the electric fluid, and sustained considerable iii,|ury. A

 resolved.'on the motion of the Duke of Cambridge, that the resolutions of 

 June 9. 1838. appointing Mr. Wyatt as the artist should be eonhrmed. Here, 

 therefore, the matter ends. 



Nelso,, Memnrlal.-h minute was on Saturday, 13th ult.. signed by the 

 Lords of the Treasury giving their assent to the design for lire monument ot 

 Lord Nelson, selecte.i by the committee, 'Hie committee cannot, l,nv•^•er, 

 nroceed to the erection of the monument until the Commissioners ol Woods

 „ite or rather as to the alterations which the erection oi the monument may 

 render necessary in Trafalgar -square.— O/wow;-. 



.SV Ceorc-e-^ Ihll.-On the 18th and lOtli ult.. the exhibition-rooms in Posl- 

 oflice-pbu^ were opencl to the subscribers to St, Georges Hal and their 

 fVieiid.s. for the purpose of inspecting the numerous designs sent in by the 

 dillei cut .archilects competing for the erection of that building. Jhe eleva- 

 tiiuis and interiorviews were hung around the walls, and i.roduced a very 

 slrikiiig effect. The successful desig^i is, we believe, by Mr J'.lmes, of Lon- 

 don 11 is of very pure (ireek arcbilectun-, the princi|iVl front being a 

 ixirt'ieo of grand proportions, ami enriched with bas-r.' lefs, on the e.^ecution 

 of which, however, much depenils. Periiaps wilhu, the limits ot iheir re- 

 sources (30.000/.) the committee could not have made ,a more judicious .selec- 

 'lion, Ibe insuperable ob|eclion to many designs, from iheir e.xleul and elabo- 

 rate detail mueh more captivating to the eye, being that he expense of 

 cxeciuing them would far exceed llie funds at the disposal ol the committee.
