By particular request, we copy entire the inscription from one of the monuments erected during the last year. The choice of the design and the details of its execution were intrusted to the vigilant care of Mr. Allen, acting surgeon of H. B. M. naval hospital, Macao. That gentleman has well fulfilled his mournful task. In the words of the Canton Register: "the design of the monument is chaste, and the proportions beautiful; it is a slender square pillar, on a double basc, surmounted by a funeral urn, each side having been slightly channel- ed. It is placed close to that of capt. lord John Churchill, and is as pleasing to the eye of taste as any other in the cemetery." So we think. The following is the inscription which it bears.
Sacred
to the memory of
LIEUTENANT EDWARD FITZGERALD, Late belonging to H. M. ship Modeste :
who died at Macao,
on the 22d June, 1841,
from the effects of a wound received
while gallantly storming the enemy's battery at Canton, This monument was erected
by his numerous friends and shipmates, in the squadron in which he served, as a tribute of respect by his memory
