SIR ROBERT PEEL. — Sir Robert Peel, it is said, is to

be imme- diately raised to the Peerage.—Herald. [This has been so often said, that we have long ago made up our minds riot to believe it when it happens.] MR. RAYDON.—We are sorry to perceive that this great painter is again in trouble, and in danger of a gaol, for a sum top paltry to be named. Where are the wealthy patrons of art now ? Is the country overstocked with masters in the higher walks of painting, that we wit- ness their destruction so coolly ?

BAT TLEBRIDGE.—A monument in honour of King George the Fourth is at present erecting at Battlebridge. It is to be called the King's Cross. It is very splendid in description, and we doubt not will be so in reality, although the Committee of Taste that sat upon the model was somewhat strangely compounded,—Sir Robert Peel, the Commissioners of the Roads, and the Commissioners of Police. I3attlebridge has many historical recollections associated with it, and in so far has been judiciously chosen as the site of the monument.

PRINCE LEoroLn.—The Courtier Francais says, the situation of his Highness is like that of the man in the farce, who was resolved to marry ; all the friends and relations of his house being consenting, the articles drawn out, and the priest waiting, the only thing required being the approbation of the lady.

ROYAL SOCIETY.—The members of the Royal Society pay a shrilling a week towards its support. It seems a number of them are in arrears, and the Society is in straitened circumstances in consequence. A list of the defaulters has been made out and laid on the Society's table. PREVENTIVE SP:Rms.—The total charge for the Preventive Service last year was 534,413:3/. This is less by 40,0001. than it has been in any year since 1821. SUNDAY TRAVELLING.—The Bishop of London has published a pam- phlet on this and other breaches of the Sunday ; and the Rev. Mr. Taylor, of Stratton, has published a letter. Mr. Taylor seems in a piteous taking; his parishioners are so much addicted to jaunting on the first day of the week,. that he can't keep six of them in church. There is not much danger of the short stages standing still on Sunday, either to : OT bag. briefly to re-

Mr. WINSOR.—This ,f.renitleman, to whom we are indebted for the elegant and useful applicatica of cord _ gas to the lighting of our streets and manufactories, died at Paris on the Intl instant, in the sixty- eighth year of his age. Mr. Winsor's apparatus was first exhibited in 1803 ; in 1807 he lighted up thehalf of Pall 91xll ; and in 1812 a cora- pany was formed, which crowned Iris labours with absolute success, but left him unfortunzttely withsint any of its le fruits. A specu- lation which he entern11 hoe inn Cranee, inn I 81;::, was equally unpro-

ductive; and .Mr. Winsor has H., other I, gacy to his children but the remembrance of his honest nebours, winin sheenier persever- ance and iegenniity in behalf of his country mid of the world.

Sotheby ; the one con- sisting of a valuable series of menials, the other of a well-chic-um library.
