- Mr. Delevante

It is much to be regretted that the funds necessary for keeping up the Garden on the Parade cannot be raised among the inhabitants of Kingston, who have always bee noted for acts of generosity and a desire to assist any useful undertaking. It cannot be denied that the establishment of a permanent Garden on the Parade would add materially to the improvement of the City and present to strangers visiting it something like an effort to appear in keeping with other civilized Towns. Much labour and attention have been bestowed upon the Trees now growing on the Parade, by Mr. Andrew Lyon and Mr. Henry Ford, without which, no doubt, these Trees would have languished and died shortly after being planted, although the community subscribed handsomely at the outset of the project. The small amount of 10s or 12s per week, (Mr. Lyon says), would be sufficient to keep up the Garden effectively. Will Kingston really allow such a shame to come upon her as the abandonment of the undertaking without making an effort to prevent it? We would recommend Mr. Lyon to enlist the kind offices of the Ladies - a practice that has met with approval in other communities; and by the appointment of a Collector to visit subscribers of even a shilling per quarter, sufficient funds, we are sure, would be raised to keep up the Garden.

The site of the large store at the corner of Harbour and Church Streets, extending to Port Royal street, formerly occupied by Messrs. Joseph Francis & Co., was sold on Monday last to Messrs. Maurice Farmer& Bro., by Messrs. Turnbull & Lee, Auctioneers, for the sum of Eleven Hundred Pounds.

Birth

At Hillend House, Greenock, N. B., on Thursday, the 20^th ultimo, Mrs. John Scott, of a son.

Lieut. W. O. Lanyon, late 6^th Royals, has been gazetted Lieutenant of the 2^nd West Indian Regiment.

Lieutenant Brand has been permitted to retire from active service on a pension of £125. He was not tried by Court Martial, the authenticity of the letters addressed to Mr. Charles Buxton, M. P. having been considered sufficient to warrant the step taken by the Government. We understand Lieut. Brand was fully prepared to retire from the service, being a gentleman of independent means.

We are sorry to announce the death of Dr. Richardson, Assistant Surgeon of Royal Naval Hospital, Port Royal, yesterday morning (25^th instant). This gentleman during his short residence in that town, won for himself many kind friends and admirers, who lament his loss.

His Honor Sir Bryan Edwards, Knight, Chief Judge, has been pleased to appoint Mr. Septimus King Magnus, of Spanish Town, a Commissioner for taking Affidavits in the Supreme Court of this island.

Married

On the 23^rd instant, at Bath, St. Thomas ye East, by the Rev. C. F. Douet, Island Curate, Sutton Brierley, fourth son of the late Richard Scoltock, Esq., of the county of Salop, England, to Elizabeth Serena, second surviving daughter of the late Dr. Charles H. McDermott of this island.
