Intelligence has arrived in London of the sudden death of

Lord Yar- borough. He had been found dead in the cabin on board his yacht the Kestrel. The Earl was born on the 8th August 1781; and was married, On the 11th August 1806, to the second daughter of the Honourable John

• Bridgman Simpson. By this union there were four children; the eldest of whom, Lord Worsley, succeeds to the title and estates. The late Earl was of Liberal politics. Lord Worsley's succession to the Peerage creates a va- eancy in the representation of North Lincolnshire.

The Duke of Atholl died on Tuesday last, at his residence near St. John's Wood; where he had lived for some years in seclusion, on account of a mental complaint. He was born on the 20th of June 1778; was never married; and is succeeded in the title and family estates by Lord Glen- lyon.

The Bishop of St. Asaph died on Sunday last, at his house in Portland Place, Dr. Carey commenced his education at Westminster School; whence he proceeded to Christchurch, Oxford. Having entered holy orders, he was made Prebendary of York in 1802. In the following year, he be- came head master of Westminster School; in 1808, Sub-Almoner to the King; and in 1809, Prebendary of Westminster. He held other appoint- ments, and was intrusted with the educational arrangements of the Royal Military Asylum. In 1820, on the translation of Dr. Pelham to Lineeln, Dr. Carey was consecrated Bishop of Exeter; from which be removed to St. Asapb, vacant by the death of Dr. Luirmore, in 1830. He was in his seventy seventh year.

We hear that the Honourable and Reverend Mr. Villiers, the Rector of St. George's, Bloomsbury, is mentioned as likely to be the new Bishop.— Globe.

The death of Mr. Justice Williams, announced in our obituary, occurred quite unexpectedly, at his temporary residence, Livermore Park, near Bury St. Edmund's. A short time before leaving town he had complained of pain in the chest; but the attack was apparently too slight to occasion any alarm. On Monday morning, the symptoms became more serious, and Dr. Probate, a neighbouring practitioner, was called in: they did not, however, appear dangerous to that gentleman. About ten o'clock at night, Sir John complained that be felt worse: Lady Williams was entertaining some friends in an adjoining room; and before she could be sum- moned he was a corpse. The late Judge was born in 1781, and was called to the bar by the Society of the Inner Temple on the 15th of June 1804. His rare industry soon gave him a position; and his reputation as a junior counsel was the cause of his being retained in that capacity for Qneen Caroline, in opposition to the Bill of Pains and Penalties. in 1827, he was appointed a King's Counsel; in 1830, Attorney-General for Queen Adelaide; and in 1834, a Baron of the Exchequer. He received the ho- nour of knighthood in the same year: and in May exchanged his seat in the Exchequer for one on the King's Bench. "When going the Northern Circuit, Mr. Williams," says the Daily News, "was considered peculiarly happy in addressing a Jury in what are called horse-causes. He was an accomplished scholar: more addicted to the metaphysics of law than logh.h Judges generally are. It is probable that the peculiar views, ap- proaching almost to crotchety, which in one or two cases of political in- terest expesed him to comment, were owing to this turn of mind. But he ets a Judge of great acuteness, and popular among his private friends."

The bulk of Lord Metcalfe's property will go to Mr. James Metcalfe. lBs brother, now in India, inherits the Baronetcy. The Frankfurter Journal contradicts a report that the Duke de Bordeaux was about to marry a princess of the house of Mecklenburg. '1 he Prince, that journal declares, is too zealous a Roman Catholic to marry a Pro- testant. Every week, priests of the order of the Redemptionists visit Frohsdorf to confess the Duke and administer to him the communion.

The Industriel Calaisien reports a royal marriage: the daughter of the Queen of Madagascar has lately espoused a Frenchman, /H. Maxims Lepellier; who is the possessor not only of a Princess, but of one of the largest beef-salting establishments in the country.

On Wednesday last, about two hundred neighbours, servants, and other friends of Sir Robert Peel, were entertained by the right honourable Baronet and his lady, near his residence at Drayton Manor, at dinner and tea. After dinner, the numbers greatly increased; and dancing, besides a variety of rustic games and pastimes, commenced. Sir Robert and his lady seemed to enjoy the festivities as heartily as any person present. The day was very unfavourable; but in the evening the weather cleared up, and contributed very much to the enjoyment of all present. The kind and affable manner in which Sir Robert and his lady entered into the enjoy- ment of the party diffused general happiness; and we question much whether any one of his recent political triumphs in Parliament occasioned him half the pleasure he enjoyed during this rustic Rte.—Be-rainy/won Journal, Sept. 12.

The Reverend Henry Crowther publishes in the papers a reply to Mr. Charles Pearson, Lord Ripon's solicitor- " He [Mr. Pearson] states, 'although Lord Ripon had nothing to do with Mr. Crowther's appointment, he, nevertheless (the vicarage-house not being then va- cant), put him in possession of furnished apartments, rent-free, and paid 401. towards his salary as curate.' After this public statement from Lord Ripon, the public will, perhaps, be surprised when I state that, instead of having the furnished apartments rent-free,' I virtually paid 30/. a year for the rent of the same. The stipend to which I was legally entitled was 1201., instead of which I only received 901.; and my Vicar, the Reverend W. T. Marsh, in one of his letters tells me that the remainng 30/. he considers fully made up by the furnished apartments which Lord Ripon had provided for his convenience. "With respect to the other assertion of Lord Ripon, that he paid 401 towards my salary, I can only say it is the first time I ever heard that he contributed any- thing towards my stipend; and if he did so, it must have been paid to the Vicar, the Reverend W. T. Marsh, who, and who alone, was benefited by it, as I never received one farthing, either directly or indirectly, from his Lordship.

" P.S.—I would add, that I know Lord Ripon is fully aware that I was virtu- ally paying the 80/. a year for his furnished apartments, because in September 1845, 1 seat one of his principal tenants, Mr. Cartwright, in whose house I re- sided, with the newspaper to Lord Ripon, containing Mr. Marsh's advertisement offering 901. a year and a furnished house; and be told Lord Ripon, by my direc- tion, that Mr. Marsh considered himself entitled to deduct the 30k for the apart menta."

In May 1845, Captain Cousin, of the Roland, having put into Gabon, on the coast of Africa, heard that the mate of an English vessel had been left behind, seriously ill, amongst the Negroes of a village near the coast, and that he was kept in confinement and harshly treated. The captain exerted himself in his favour, and obtaining his liberation, brought him safely to Havre. Some time Sfter, Captain Cousin set sail on another voy- age; and on his return a short time back to the same port, he was presen- ted by the English Consul, on the part of the Lords of the Admiralty, with a magnificent telescope, as a proof of their sense of his conduct towards the English mate.—Morning Chronicle.

Four of the American Dovers are situated in Ohio, two in New Jer say, and one in each of fourteen other States.

The high price of grain has caused some disturbances in the Western de- partments of France. On the 9th, the authorities of Vihiers, in the depart- ment of Maine-et-Loire, apprehending some opposition on the part of the people to the sale of corn at the market on that day, had sent for the dif- ferent brigades of gendarmes in the neighbourhood. The King's Attorney of Saumur had also repaired to that town. No rioting, however, took place; but some resistance was opposed to the departure of several cart- loads of grain, which the authorities easily overcome. At Cholet, La Tee souale, Montfaucon, Chatillon, and other places, much agitation prevailed. More recently, however, the alarm began to subside, although prices did not.

The extraordinary success of the vine crop is some set-off against the failure of grain. From Champagne they write, "You can form no idea of the magnificent aspect of our rich vineyards; which the storms that lately oc- curred here and there have, thank God, completely spared. The vintage will be admirable." The vintage has also commenced in the centre of France, and was everywhere most promising.

Mr. Gesner, of Prince Edward's Island, has made a discovery of some interest. During a geological examination of the colony, he obtained from the Indians two kinds of farinaceous roots "as promising in their appear- ance as were the indigenous potatoes of Virginia, carried to Ireland by Sir Walter Raleigh, from which the common kind was derived." These mots are called by the Indians respectively "mus-qua-sete," and " san-gatt-ban." Mr. (leaner says of the former—" As an article of food it is excellent, and as such is highly esteemed by the Indians; who generally remove every root as soon as the habitat of the plant is discovered. It contains much nutritive matter, is wholesome, and, I have no doubt, if properly cultivated, it will prove to be prolific." The other root is less liked by the Indians; but Mr. Gamer says, "I have eaten some of the roots, and found them dry, meally, and palatable."

The condition of the vines was not less satisfactory along the Rhine. "In the memory of man," says the Cologne Gazette, "such a quantity or grapes was never seen as this year on both banks of the Rhine."

From the extraordinary heat of the season the trees on the boulevards, the leaves of which had begun to wither, are now pushing forth fresh ones. Some chesnnt-trees in the Place Royale afforded the singular spectacle of ripe fruit, yellow leaves, large blossoms, and fresh green leaves, all at the same time.—Galipiards Messenger.

The Queen's visit to Restormel Castle has been related in a letter sent by "Cap-

tain" C , (whoconducted the Royal party,) and received at Southampton by one of the leading scientific members of the British Association. "9th Sept. 1846, Lostwithiel.

An accompanying letter states that the miners did not know it was the Queen, and that they said, "Do not be afraid Mrs., you will be safe enough if you follow us "; but they soon found it oat, "for lots of them came in their working clothes, running over the mine just in time to see her go away." They presented the Prince with two miner's hats.

On Friday last, Lord Woreley, M.P., was travelling from London to Lincoln. On arriving at the Rugby station he quitted the first-class carriage and took a second-class ticket; at the same time producing his address-card, and de- siring the station-keeper to inform the directors that he should never travel by first.chiss on their lines until the present exorbitant fares are reduced. His Lordship did the same at Leicester, Nottingham, and Lincoln; so it is to be hoped the directors will get to hear of it. Several noblemen and gentlemen are reported to have made similar resolves as it regards the Midland lines: a general observance of such conduct would bring the directors to the more reasonable fares of other lines.—Hull Paper.

One day last week, a passenger-train, proceeding from Preston to Kirkham, ran through a covey of partridges, one of which was caught in the cinder-box. As the train proceeded along, a savoury. odour arose from the fowl undergoing the of roasting, as it lay in the cinder-box, under the bars of the engine-fire. process of at Kirkham, the fireman stepped down to see how the partridge was going on; and finding that it was cooked on one side only, he turned it over. On arrival at Poulton he again inspected the prize, and found it perfectly cooked. At Fleetwood the engine-driver and fireman sat down to a "sumptuous repast," consisting of the partridge roasted in its feathers, without the least dressing, and which they declare was really delicious.— Western Luminary.

A singular race has occurred on the railway. between Manchester and Ashton. A pigeon was matched against a train; and it won by three minutes.

Laud along the Glasgow and Edinburgh Railway, which previous to its con- struction was not worth five shillings per acre, now commands a market-price of from thirty shillings to forty shillings per acre; and this great increase is not surprising, when we find the superior cheapness and facility of transport, both for the farm-produce and the means of improving the fertility of the land; which is well illustrated by the fact, that what by the old mode would involve an expen- diture of 142/. 6s. 3d. for the charge of carriage, would not now amount to 401.

The Warsaw journals announce a new condemnation that has just taken place for participation in the late insurrection. The person on whom this deci- sion has fallen is an architect of Cracow, named /vlirecki, aged twenty-one, who has been tried by court-martial, and sentenced to hard labour for life in the mines with confiscation of all his property.
