DEATII OP Ma. Noaere—Mr. North, the member for Drogheda, ex- pired en Thursday, at hie reddence in town, after a very fiW days' ill- ness. Mr. North entered the House of Commons under the auspices of 31r. Canning, to whom . his high reputation as a pleader had recom- mended him. He proved in the House what most greatly talked-of per- sons prove, more remarkable as a speechmaker than useful as a legis- lator. His eloquence was of a bad school—exaggerated and rhetorical. Re was a warm advocate of Catholic Emancipation, like his leader, Mr.

Canning, and, with equal inconsistency, a sturdy opponent of Reform; but the mantle of the deceased Minister sat awkwardly on his shoulders. In all private relations, Mr. North was, we believe, a most amiable and worthy man.

Ma. ARTHUR CLEGG,—This gentleman, who died last week, left be- hind him property to the value of upwards of half a million of money, which he chiefly acquired in the town of Manchester. This sum goes to his granddaughter, a young lady eighteen years of age, the only child of his only son, who is dead. The young lady is said to he affianced to one of Lord Hill's nephews ; and his Lordship's late visit to Manchester had more reference to the engagements subsisting between his ne- phew and Miss Clegg than to an inspection of the troops in the town—

Esenneenee.—For several mornings, between the hours of seven o'clock until past nine, a groom had been observed waiting with a cabriolet near theNorth Lodge. Gate, in the Regent's Park, and a young gentleman, in a military cloak, walking about on Macclesfield Bridge. On Wednesday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, a party of young ladies, be- longing to a boarding school in the vicinity, were taking their usnalpro- menade in the Park, accompanied by the governess, when one of them suddenly disappeared near the bridge ; and in a few seconds afterwards, to the astonishment of her governess and companions, she and the gentleman in the military, cloak were seen driving away at a furious rate, in the cabriolet, along the New North Road, leading to Barnet.—

ner, we are given to believe, tendered this mode of conveyance to the worthy Baronet. Sir Walter, before leaving home, finished the whole notes and introductions to his celebrated novels, now in the course of so successful a career. We can speak with some authority on this last point, having seen a proof of one of the last of the introductions with the author's corrections.—Caledonian ifiyenry. Sir Walter, on the day of his departure, was in excellent spirits ; hE was accompanied by his son and daughter, Major Scott and Miss Scat. They proceed to London via Carlisle ; and lye understand, that it is his Majesty's particular wish to see Sir Walter previous to going aboard of ship, and that he intends, immediately on his arrival in London, to pre- ceed to Windsor to wait upon the Xing.—Edinburgh Weekly Journal. The copyright of the miscellaneous prose works of Sir Walter Scotta which compose six volumes octavo, was sold oaf Thursday in Ill'Ewen'e Bonne, for the sum of 240/.

Beira is dangerously ill, and her illness is attributed to the approaching marriage of her son.

MALT LIQUOR.—It is said that the malt-duty this year will amount to five millions. Last year it was only three and a half millions. If this should turn out to be a fact, it shows that the consumption of malt liquor has greatly increased. It is stated that the gin trade is certainly falling off. This is attributed, in some measure, to the influence of the Temperance Societies.—Morning Herald.
