Public Monument to Kemble.-We are glad to find that it has been determined, at a meeting of the admirers of the late Mr. Kemble, to erect a public Monument to his memory. The Earl of Aberdeen presided at the meeting, and among the names of the Committee, we observe with pleasure the following:-The Duke of Bedford, the

Duke of Devonshire, the Duke of Northumberland, the Marquess of Hertford, the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Holland, Mr. Canning, Sir C. Long, Sir J. Mackintosh, Sir C. Lawrence, R. Heber, esq. &c. &c. Such names constitute in themselves an honour, when they are thus associated in the grateful labour of commemorating departed talent. The monument is to be placed either in St. Paul's Cathedral or Westminster Abbey.

Opening of St. Bride's Church, Fleet Street. This most beautiful specimen of Sir Christopher Wren's Architecture is opened for Divine Service, after having been closed nearly ten months, for the purpose of being repaired and beautified. All that remains to be done for the internal ornament of the church is a beautiful window for the altar, now in great forwardness by Mr. Muss, from Ruben's Descent from the Cross, in the Cathedral of Antwerp.

Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb.The Anniversary Festival of this Institution was held at the City of London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, when a company, consisting of about 300 individuals of the highest respectability, sat down to a sumptuous entertainment, and in the absence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, who was prevented by indisposition attending the dinner, Sir Claudius Stephen Hunter, Bart. took the Chair. In the course of the evening the children, the objects of the Institution, were conducted into the room, supporting the various articles of handiwork (their own productions), and marched round to slow musick. The subscription was very liberal.

A letter from Semlin, dated March 21st states, that a terrible conflagration has ravaged Constantinople and its suburbs. Turks arrived at Semlin report that the number of houses destroyed is between 30,000 and 40,000, and that the two great establishments of the cannon-foundery and marine arsenal at Tersana aud Tophana, are both consumed.

tea is 30,000 chests. The Company's loss is estimated at one million sterling. The loss of the natives and foreign traders was very great, but European private property comparatively small. The Company's treasure had been sent on board their own ships. It is supposed it would take thirty years to restore the place and trade to its former state, as the Hong merchants and native traders had lost considerably. Woollens (Yorkshire), nankeens, and raw silk, were the principal articles burnt. The fire began about a mile and a half from the factory, but the Chinese would not allow any houses to be pulled down, observing that it was the will of God, consequently all the factories are consumed.

Metropolitan Literary Institution. The funds of the Surrey Institution, now closed, having been for a long time in a state of progressive decay, attempts were made during the last summer and autumn to remedy the evil, but without success. A few gentlemen, zealous in the cause of literature, conceiving that an Institution situated in the centre of the metropolis held out more promising attractions than one on the south side of Blackfriars-bridge, assembled at the York Hotel on the 12th of February last, and laid the foundation of the Metropolitan Society, which is now proceeding with a steady pace to its complete establisment at No. 11, New Bridge-street. Besides the usual fare which other Institutions offer to the literary and reading public, there is here one peculiar feature which no other Institution possesses, namely, a room for conversation, where the Members of the Society may meet and enjoy an agreeable interchange of thought on literary and scientific subjects.

The relatives and trustees of the late Dr. Jenner, in conformity with his wishes, applied to Dr. Baron, of Gloucester, to write the account of the life, and to arrange for publication the numerous manuscripts of that distinguished character; and all the documents in possession of the family are to be committed to Dr. Baron's care. From that gentleman, therefore, the public may expect an authentic work, as speedily as his professional avocations will allow him to prepare for the press the ample and interesting materials with which he is to be furnished, together with those which he accumulated during a long and confidential intercourse with Dr. Jenner, and many of his most intimate friends. A Meeting of the Medical Gentlemen residing in

the County, took place at the King's Head, on Saturday, for the purpose of promoting measures to pay a public tribute of respect to the late Dr. Jenner, by erecting a Monument to his Memory in or near this city. The liberality with which the Profession have taken the lead in this affair reflects the highest credit upon them; and when we consider the vast, the incalculable benefits which the great discoverer of Vaccination has conferred upon the whole human race, we are sure they will meet with the most ample support in their honourable undertaking.
