Last night's Gazette notifies the issue of Royal letters patent, on the 8th instant, appointing Vice-Chancellor Sir James Lewis Knight Bruce, and Vice-Chancellor Lord Cranworth, to be Judges of the Court of Ap- peal in Chancery.

The arrival of Kossuth in England has been delayed by political inci- dents at Marseilles. As soon as the Mississippi frigate entered the roads of Marseilles, Kossuth addressed to the Prefect of the department a note demanding of the Government, as " purely a question of humanity," " a free passage and protection through France "; it being his intention to go to England and place his children at school there, before he proceeded to America on board the Mississippi, "sent expressly for me by the Govern- ment of the United States.' The Prefect, M. Suleau, answered, "through an indirect channel," in a note quoting instructions of the Mi- nister of the Interior, that the demand could not be granted. He added—

"M. Kossuth, whose passports have not been signed by the Minister of the French Republic at Constantinople, having been permitted to land at Mar- seilles solely in consequence of a desire expressed by him, and on account of the health of his wife and children, I must consider him as being still on board the American steam-frigate Mississippi." Kossuth replied to this refusal by issuing the following public address to the "Democrats of Marseilles."

"Citizens—The Government of the French Republic having refused me permission to traverse France, the people of Marseilles, yielding to the im- pulse of one of those generous instincts of the French heart which are the inexhaustible source of the nobleness of your nation, has honoured me by a manifestation of its Republican sentiments ; a manifestation honourable for its motives, manly for its resolution, peaceable in its ardour, and as majestic in its calmness as Nature, the grand image of God, before the tempest. I

have heard my name blended with the hymn of the Marseillaise, and with the shouts of ' Vive Is Republique !'—a cry which is the only legal one in France the only one whose legitimacy has been won by the blood of the martyrs of liberty ! It is so natural to love freedom! it is so light to suffer for it! it is almost less than a mere duty. But there is indeed a supreme glory in the thought of being identified with the principle of liberty in the mind of the French people. I have no desire for glory ; but this glory I accept, in order to merit it. I accept it as a pledge of common interests, and I accept it as a testimony of the fraternity of the French nation with all nations. I accept it as the sign of salvation for my beloved country. To you, Frenchmen! Republicans! is the honour of that salvation ! To us, poor Hungarians, the duty of meriting it. We shall merit it. My nation will understand the appeal of your fraternity. It will be proud of, and bravely respond to it, as those ought to do who are honoured in being called I brothers' by the French people. These are the only thanks worthy of the people of Marseilles ; worthy of that manifestation with which they have honoured me—yet not me, but my nation, and, in my nation, the past less than the future !

" Permit me not to speak any more of the refusal of the Government of the

French Republic to grant me a passage through its territory. I know that the French people are not responsible for, and are not identified with its acts. I know that neither Mr. L N. Bonaparte nor M. Faucher are the French nation. I knew, and I know, that the Executive Power is delegated to them, but that the honour of the French nation is not in their keeping. I shall no longer bear in mind their refusal ; and I desire that humanity shall not remember it, if by any chance those who have been already in exile, and who, to all appearance, have forgotten it, should again be so. Last evening one of your brethren (of brethren) an operative of Marseilles—oh ! I know his name, and I shall not forget it—came, in spite of the cold, and swimming through the water,. on board the American frigate, to press my hand. I pressed his hand with pity, with emotion, and gently reproached him for his temerity. Que voulez vous ?' he answered ; 'I desired to touch your hand, I could not find a boat, I took to the water, and here I am ! Are there any obstacles to him who wills ?' I bowed to these noble words. The love of liberty, the sentiment of duty and fraternity, were mine before coming to Marseilles ; but it is at Marseilles I have found the motto, There are no obstacles to him who wills.' That motto shall be mine. Viva la Republique !

" Health and fraternity ! Louis Kosstru.

"Marseilles Roads, on board the frigate Mississippi, of the United States, 29th September 1861."

When this address appeared in the London papers of Tuesday, "much

dissatisfaction was excited in the minds of many of the best friends of the Hungarian cause, and of those who were disposed to do honour to Kossuth." So vouched the Globe ; and accordingly that journal sought to explain away the cause of dissatisfaction. "We understand from the best authority, that the facts of the case are as follows. Admitting that the signature to the document in question is genuine. Kossuth is not to be held responsible for the turn of language, and the sentiment i

ment thereby conveyed, of the document itself. On the contrary,

it is well known that it does in no way. represent his sentiments, but is con- trary to the uniform current of his principles. Kossuth is very imperfectly acquainted with the French language. There are many, however, both in France and elsewhere, eagerly seeking from various different motives to compromise him, and to get him committed to a union with the Republican party of the Ultra-Democratic schooL The refusal of the French Govern- ment to let him pass through France afforded a capital opportunity to at- tempt the effecting of this object. He could not have written the manifesto in question, and he could only have imperfectly understood its meaning. No one will be more surprised or mortified than himself, when he learns the sense in which the language to which his signature has been obtained is understood in the West of Europe. The success of the manoeuvre by which he has thus become apparently compromised will be but short-lived. ins first words, when he arrives in England, will, we are assured, dispel the ap- prehensions of his friends. Meantime, the above explanation may be relied upon, as showing the extent to which he is responsible for the language used, and the means by which the document has been procured." The enthusiastic admirers of the patriot are preparing a grand recep- tion for him in this country. The forward Metropolitan parishes of Mary- lebone and St. Pancras have voted addresses of congratulation, and some of the leading Liberal provincial capitals have "come out strong" in the same line—Birmingham and Bath especially. Southampton, as the place of landing, and as a focus of spirited Liberalism, will naturally make a very hearty demonstration. The Corporation intend, if Kossuth shall arrive in the Mississippi, to go in state and present their address to him on deck; if he come in one of the Peninsular steamers, they will give him the most distinguished reception on their own ground. The day of Kossuth's arrival is uncertain. It may be today, tomorrow-, or not before Monday or Tuesday. Lord Dudley Stuart, who is the bearer of the Marylebone address, and who will be the companion of Kos- suth on his visit to the city of London, is awaiting the telegraphic news of Kossuth's arrival at Broadlimds, the seat of Lord Palmerston in Hemp. shire.

Some expressions in the letter of Lord Londonderry to the President of the French Republic respecting Abd-el-Kader have called forth the Duke de Nemours in reply. "A M. Editeur du Horning Post.

" We know, in fact, that the Marquis of Londonderry suppressed the last phrase of the letter of the President, which was as follows—' What would most injure the cause which you wish to serve, would be your bringing the matter before the English Parliament or the English press.'" An article in the Times having criticized the correspondence, the Mar- quis of Londonderry yesterday addressed the following letter of explana- tions to the Times.

" Sir—I ain not disposed to submit to wrong inferences being drawn from any hopes I have formed and publicly declared as to the liberation of Abd- el-Kader ; and upon reading today your criticisms, and appreciating your general candour, I transcribe the President's own autograph words, which the editor of the Horning Post has thought fit to leave out, and to alter mg letter to him in another important part, which corroborates my views and hopes- veux 1St ou tard mettre rEmir en liberti, parceque je crois que l'honneur de la France y eat engage.

" The President, then, does inform me of every point I have ventured to solicit, and what his present determination is. The fact I have. The de- lays and resolves are not necessary for me to proclaim ; although the former is essential to my purpose, and now to my truth and honesty before the public.

The sudden death of the Earl of Liverpool, on Friday last, at his resi- dence, Buxted House in Sussex, was briefly mentioned in our latest edi- tion last week. The circumstances of the event, as told by the Globe, have a melancholy interest

"The noble Lord being indisposed on Monday last, Mr. Prince, surgeon, of LIckfield, was sent for, and found his Lordship labouring under a slight

attack of pleurisy. No dangerous symptoms appeared, aria _to have manifested themselves, as his Lordship was perfectly able to leave us room ; and it was not until Thursday that it was considered advisable to obtain additional medical assistance. On that day, however, as a pre- cautionary measure, a message was despatched to Dr. Brown of Brighton ; who was speedily in attendance, and, having consulted respecting the proper treatment, returned to that town, leaving Mr. Prince in attend- ance on his Lordship. At that time the noble Lord evidently thought the attack was not of a serious character, for he would not allow any one to sit up during the night; and it was only by Mr. Prince's directions that, un..! known to his Lordship, a person did remain in attendance. That there was then some anxiety manifested, however, by those around his Lordship, is evident from the fact that a messenger was despatched that night to the Isle of Wight, to inform his Lordship's eldest daughter, Lady Catherine Har- court, of her noble parent's illness. It was about eleven o'clock when his Lordship retired for the night. A foot-bath was placed for his use, and the servants retired. It was the last time the noble Lord was seen alive. About half-past two o'clock on Friday morning, Mr. Prince and his Lordship's valet knocked at the door of his sleeping-apartment, in order to administer the medicine which had been prescribed. There was no answer. Thinking his Lordship had fallen asleep, they opened the door, and then they were indeed startled by the sight that presented itself. His Lordship usually slept on a sofa bedstead, which stood against the wall of the apartment. On this bed- stead, in a sitting position, his head supported by the wall, lay the noble Lord. Life was quite extinct; and at least an hour and a half, it was calcu- lated, must have elapsed since his Lordship's decease. The foot-bath had evidently been used, and every preparation usual with his Lordship before lying down had been made. It is of course impossible now to ascertain pre- cisely when the lamentable event occurred ; but it is supposed, from his Lordship's position, that he died just as he was getting into bed, being sud- denly seized with a spasm of the heart, which was the proximate cause of his Lordship's decease. The bell, which was quite within reach of his Lord- ship, was never rung ; which renders it almost certain that his death must have been frightfully sudden. Immediate steps were taken to convey the melancholy intelligence to his Lordship's relatives."

Charles Cecil Cope Jenkinson, third Earl of Liverpool, Baron Hawkes- bury, and a Baronet, was half-brother of the second Earl, who was Premier of the celebrated Liverpool Administration,, and who died in 1828. Ho was a man of a cultivated and well-exercised mind, of an amiable disposition, and a very superior country gentleman. Queen Victoria, while residing as Princess, with the Duchess of Kent, near Tun; bridge Wells, was a frequent visitor at Buxted Park, and gave the late Earl the honour of an attached friendship ; and in the last Administra- tion of Sir Robert Peel he held the office of Lord Steward of her Majesty's Household.

The lath Peer was married in 1810, to Julia Evelyn Medley ; the only child and heiress of Sir G. A. W. Shuckburg Evelyn ; by whom he ac- quired the magnificent domain of Eluded, with its dependencies of Fris- ton Place, Coneyburg Park, &c. in Sussex. By that marriage he has left three daughters : one was married to Colonel F. Harcourt, brother of the present Member for Oxfordshire ; another to Viscount Milton, who died in 1837. As there is no male issue of the first Earl now alive, the titles have become extinct.

Viscount Bolingbroke died on Wednesday sennight, at the residence of his daughter, the Honourable Mrs. Shaw, near Elgin. Henry St. John fourth Viscount Bolingbroke and fifth Viscount St. John, was born in March 1786; and succeeded to the titles on the death of his father, in 1824. In 1812 he married Maria, daughter of Sir Henry St. John Idildmay ; who died in 1836. Lord Bolingbroke was for many years in the habit of spending a portion of almost every season in the North. This year he took his accustomed trip, iu his usual health ; but, while spending a few days in Sutherlandshire, he had a severe attack, which seriously af- fected the nervous system. He was ultimately conveyed to the residence of his daughter. A second attack completely prostrated him, and on Wednes- day he breathed his last. His eldest son, Henry St. John, who succeeds him as fifth Viscount Bolingbroke and sixth Viscount St. John, was born in 1820.

The venerable Lord Stafford expired at Hampton Court on Saturday, in his eighty-first year. George William Stafford Jerningham succeeded his father as seventh i Baronet in 1809 ; and succeeded in establishing his right to the ancient barony of Stafford, after the reversal, in 1824, of the attainder of the un- fortunate Sir William Howard, Viscount Stafford, beheaded in 1678. His Lordship assumed, in 1826, the additional surname of Stafford. He is suc- ceeded by his eldest son, Henry Valentine, now Baron Stafford; who is married to a niece of the Duke of Norfolk.

An eminent foreign diplomatist has also been suddenly removed by death. Count Reventlow, the Danish Ambassador" to this country, died suddenly on Monday morning, at the Star Hotel, Glasgow.

He had been paying a visit to Sir James Matheson, at Lewes, during the last five weeks ' • and arrived in Glasgow on Saturday evening, accompanied by the Countess Reventlow and his two daughters, the Ladies Hilda and Malvina Reventlow, en route for London. At that time he seemed to be in good health; and he remained so until Monday morning about three o'clock, when he became suddenly ill, and expired almost instantly. Dr. Macfar- lane and Dr. Clark were called in. So far as could be ascertained without a particular post-mortem examination of the body, it seemed that a spasmodic affection of the heart was the immediate cause of death. Count Reventlow has been for a considerable time the Danish Ambassador at the British Court, and was highly respected in that capacity by those with whom his official duties brought him into communication. During Monday forenoon, Sir James Anderson and the Danish Consul, Mr. Westonholz, called at the Star Hotel, to offer their services to the Countess Reventlow ; but her Lady- ship and her daughters had departed for London by the express morning train. The body of the deceased followed by the evening train.

The foreign obituary of the week has also included a name formerly of European note. Don Manuel Godoy, the once celebrated and powerful Prince of Peace, in Spain, died on Saturday, at his lodging in the Rue Michodiere, Boulevards Italians, in the eighty-seventh year of his age. A Paris letter states some of the incidents of his later and obscurer days.

" The deceased noble had been residing in the same house for the last thirty years. In the year 1847, the Spanish Ministry published a royal decree, authorizing the return of the Duke of Alcudia (the title of Prince of Peace not being recognized) to Spain, and that a certain portion of his once vast property should be restored. The latter part of the decree was acted upon, however, in the same manner as such restitutions are generally made in Spain ; and the only income of the deceased Prince was an allowance made him by one of his children in Spain. The Prince was, for a short time before his death, in negotiation with an English house for an advance on the credit of the royal order in question ; but it is to be presumed that Eng- lish capitalists did not sufficiently appreciate the value of such documents to risk their money on them. The Palace of Buena-Vista, close to the Prado in Madrid, belonged to the Prince. Whatever may have been the political conduct of Don Manuel Godoy now half a century ago, those who knew him in his old age in Paris will admit that he was a fine specimen of the old Castilian gentleman. To the very last he was remarkable for the ele- gance of his manners, and for that high-bred courtesy which is the general characteristic of Spaniards, but particularly of the upper classes."

The death of Mr. Fennimore Cooper, the celebrated American novelist, was an incident of American intelligence last week, which slipped out of our news columns. Mr. Cooper, as our readers were already aware, had been in declining health for some time : he expired at his residence in Cooperstown, State of New York, on Sunday the 14th September—only twenty-four hours before his sixty-second birthday. James Fennimore Cooper was the son of William Cooper, a judge of con- siderable American repute; and was the descendant of an English ancestor who settled at Burlington, New Jersey, upwards of a century since. His father removed in 1785 to a settlement on Otsego Lake, in the State of New York ; and in compliment to him, when the village became a town, it was named by the inhabitants Cooperstown. The character of his father, the founder of the village, with that of other pioneers of the place, was given in Mr. Cooper's popular novel " The Pioneers."

Mr. Fennimore Cooper wrote his first work, " Precaution," in 1821, at the age of thirty-two ; and it was published by the late Mr. A. T. Good- rich, at New York, anonymously : it was a tale of domestic life in Eng- land, which had no great popularity in America, but is said to have been republished in London as an English novel. Soon after this first work Sp- peared, Mr. Cooper sent forth the book that placed hini in the position of high

literary rank which his subsequent works only confirmed and made more acknowledged by all the world. "The Spy" was instantly popular in his own country ; and besides its circulation in English, French, and other Euro- pean languages, it appeared in the Persian language, at Ispahan, in 1847. His other best romances and novels are as well known to English readers as those of the great Scottish master whom it was his ambition to be compared with : they form a list of thirty-four ; " and their variety exceeds that of any other American writer," says the New York Herald. Besides the romances and novels, he published a popular "History of the ITnited States Navy," in two volumes ; "Notions of the Americans, by a Travelling Bachelor "; " Gleanings in Europe," in six volumes ; " Sketches of Switzerland," in four volumes ; a small political work called "The American Democrat "; and a "Letter to his Countrymen "; likewise "Lives of Distinguished Naval Officers," in two volumes. The "History of the Navy " has been popular with his countrymen ; but the other works less so than his novels.

About the year 1827 he visited Europe. The American biographer we have quoted says—" He was welcomed into the most refined literary and . aristocratic circles ; but always sustained the character of an American, by placing before the European public the truth with regard to his native country, in his conversation, and by his contributions to the press, when required to defend the institutions and character of the United States from attacks and misrepresentations. Among others whose friendship he enjoyed was General Lafayette, and other friends of America in France and England. Several of the works referred to were published during Mr. Cooper's visit to Europe. We believe he was absent some ten years ; and on his return he continued his literary labours. His popularity, however, was checked by the attacks of the press on some of his works which were supposed to show an aristocratic ten- dency." "Mr. Cooper, in his politics, professed Democratic notions; but his personal popularity as a politician was not extensive, however he may have been ad- mired or esteemed among his own immediate circle of friends. In religion lie was a zealous Episcopalian, and often represented the church of his village in the stated conventions of that denomination. One of his daughters, it will be remembered, has appeared as an authoress, particularly of a popular work called 'Rural Hours. "

English literature has also lost one of its ornaments. The venerable Mrs. Sherwood died at her residence, Twickenham, on the 22d of Sep- tember, though the event only now goes the round of the public journals. Mrs. Sherwood was in the seventy-seventh year of her age, but her death is said to have taken place " rather suddenly."

Next year, 1852, Russia will celebrate throughout the vast expanse of her empire the completion of her thousandth year of national existence ; which will be kept with all the solemnity due to the importance of the event. The Russian empire was founded in 852; in which year the Russians or 'Ionians, probably of Scandinavian origin, made their first appearance on the shores of the Bosphorus, as Warangiens.—Morning Post.

The French Minister of War latel matured a project for establishing horse races in the colony of Algiers. The races took place on the 28th Sep- tember, and were very successful. " A number of Arab chiefs, and as many as 15N natives on horseback, attended. The 'was room for 3000 spectators in the stands, which were well filled, and the neighbouring lulls were crowded with spectators. There were only two races in which French and native horses were pitted against each other, and in each of these the former were victorious."

The -Atheneum states that the same two gentlemen who first suggested and commenced the formation of a telegraph across the Straits of Dover, "have expressed to some of our eminent engmeers and capitalists their con- viction of the feasibility of establishing a smile line of communication be- tween this country and America, for a less sum than was paid for making a single mile of the expensive portion of the Great Western Railway." It was proposed in this instance to have only a single wire covered with gutta percha, similar to that used last year to prove the practicability of passing an electric current across the Channel from England to France—to which it was proposed to add an additional protection of hempen plat—the hemp having been passed through a chemical solution, to render it indestructible in salt water. Such a line, it was said, of gutta percha and prepared hemp, would, although only about three-quarters of an inch in diameter, be of nearly double the strength of the experimental line laid down between Eng- land and France last year in a strong sea and running tide. The proposi- tion was, first to extend it to Ireland ; thence to the South-west coast, the nearest point for the American continent, and where the bold rocky coast offers depths that secure its safety from anchors ; and thence to the nearest point on the American coast, considerably under 2000 miles. Choosing the months of summer, and an experienced American and English captain ac- customed to the track, such a line, it was averred, might with very simple machinery be paid out night and day with perfect safety at the ordinary speed of the steamer. The vast importance of such an object is not to be weighed against a sum of 100,000/., which, we are assured, would more than accomplish it if a single wire only were employed. The successful com- pletion of one lino would of course be speedily followed by that of others. This once accomplished, the extension of the line across the American con- tinent to the Pacific would follow certainly, and we should have the astound- ing fact of a communication froth the shores of the Pacific, crossing America and the Atlantic, and touching our shores in an instant of time." A gentleman of Paris named Montheulin has left a legacy of 4001. to be paid to any one who invents a method of steering balloons in a direct line. A letter of the 2d instant, from Coblentz, states that the large powder- mills of Messieurs Meleksack, Brothers, near that city, blew up on the pre- ceding day with a tremendous explosion, which was heard at a distance of seven miles. Mr. John Pick, of Wanswell, in the parish of Berkeley, has completed his hundredth year. Save his being totally blind, he has no perceptible disease about him. Mr. Thomas Alpas, a near neighbour to Mr. Pick, is in his ninety-seventh year ; he is very deaf; he is a strong hale man ; his memory is surprisingly retentive.— Gloucester Journal.
