Loan Rivas.—The death of Lord Rivers is now supposed not
to have been accidental. It is stated that his Lordship suffered severe losses at a gaming-house on. the night before he quitted home. The late Lord Rivers, to prevent the family estate from being injured by his nephew's losses at play, bequeathed to him only 40001. a year; and the bulk of his property, amounting to 90,0001. a year, to trustees, for the benefit of the son of the late deceased nobleman, who succeeds to the title.

Bramsten, the member for Essex, died suddenly on Thursday. He had suffered, for some time past,frons a Byre illness; supposed to be brought. on by. close attendance in the House .of Cotnruons. The irregular hours of the 'House were ill suited to the regularity of his domestic habits ; this, and his anxiety to serve his constituents, added to the suddert transitions from heat to cold, on the breaking up of the House, produced indisPosition, accompanied by intlammation.—Cleehnsford Chronicle.
