THE LATE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY. It is true, as we stated in the STAR of Tuesday, that his 'Maiss'lir was the person who was first struck with aivehensions .1- the mental he a l t h o f t h e Mar q'tis of LANDONDERRY. His Lor.4ship had his last interview ith the KING on Friday, in order to take Ms MAJEsTY ' S pleasure on certain subjects connected with his mission to the approaching Congress at Ye ton.i. The interview la•ted two hours ; and during the conference, as his MAJESTY has since declared, the luminous views and peculiarly able manner, in which they were conveyed by the Noble Marquis, ex cited his admiration, and removed some doubts, which we have been given to understand, his Ma4l jc , TY previously entertained on some minor points. At tie close of the interview, the KING recommended to the Marquis a _T-nNpoNDsmity an attention to his health ; concluding the statement of his wishes with the remark, that he did not think that the Noble Marquis had looked well for some time past, and that greater regard to his health was necessary. The look,' the manner, the tone of \ the Noble Marquis at once excited the suspicions of the KING ; to whom the Noble Marquis quickly replied, " Does your Majesty see anything the matter with me?" When they sepa rated, his MAJESTY revolved more deeply on what he conceived a strange and sudden alteration in the manlier of tilt! Marquis, and could not relieve his mind from the impression that it indicated some more fear ful consequences. Under .that feeling, he ordered a messenger to be dispatched to the Earl of LIVERPOOL, which he received, we understand, at Combe Wood, by six o'clock on Saturday morning last. We believe that Noble Earl saw his MAJESYY at eleven that morning ; and that to him his MAJESTY stated his appreliensi •ns. We have been also infoatned, that on Friday morning the MarquisofLoNDoNDziay entered an howl in the vicinity of Carlton Palace, and in a pun ied manne7, asked if the Council-were assembled? His Ito al Highness the Duke of You left town morning for North Cray, t h e seat o f t h e l ate K: pais of LONDONDERRY, whose funeral will take j-lace under his Royal Highness's direction. NORTH CRAY. Tuoiumar Manz It has been arranged that his Lordship's remains ate to he deposited in Westminster Abbey, and that the i uneral shall take place on Monday next. In fur therxice of this arrangement the body will be Te• moved to the mansion in St. James's-square, where it will lie in state for a day er two. It is expected that the removal will take place to-night. The shell in which the body of the late Marquis' was deposited immediately after the Inquest, was last night placed in a leaden coffin and soldered up, pre raratory to its being inclosed in a state coffin. The afflicted Marchione,s has not yet-left her cham ber, and this morning Lord ELLERBOROUGH set out for Lt'ndon,without having seen her. Mr. FREDERICK STEWART (now Viscount CASTLEREAGH) also left the house this morning, and proceeded to London. This young Gentleman has been much affected by the shocking manner of his Noble uncle's death, and ap pears absot bed in the deepest melancholy. A great many Peers and others of the Nobility have left their names at the porter's lodge. and made in. quiries after the health of the Marchioness. I Presuming that everything in any way connected ss-ith the late Marquis may be matter of interest with our Readers, we subjoin a short description of this his favourite retreat from the arduous duties of his office, and the turra-iil of the Court and Senate. It is situated in the richly-wooded valley of North Cray, about midway between Foot's Cray and the picturesque little village of Bexley; and the river Cray—one of the finest trout-streams in England— winds beautifully through the grounds. His Lord ship held the lease from the Rev. Mr. FRITH, a Cler gyman in the neighbourhood. The house was ori ginally built by a Mr. COOK, enlarged by the Rev. Mr. BARNETT, and finally brought to its present state by the late Marquis. His Lordship obtained the lease in 1810, for his own life and the life of the Marchioness. Since that time the house has been greatly enlarged, the grounds improved or laid out anew, a new garden created, a place arranged for a menagerie, and, in short, the whole appearance of the ground completely altered. The fixing of the lease for his Lordship's life spewed his attachment to the spot ; the insertion of her Ladyship's name in it evinced their common regard for it, and for each other. Though this inference may be too refined, the fact is nevertheless certain. According to all ac counts in the neighbourhood, never was conjugal at tachment more constant, or local 'partiality more striking and beneficial. During the residence of the Marquis and his Lady at North Cray, which was frequently extended to six months, they were regarded as examples to be fol ipwed, and benefactors to be loved and admired. In their rides or walks about the village or in the neigh bourhood', they shewed a condescending regard to the poor, and an affable demeanour to dependents or inferiors. it would be tedious to enumerate the kind and charitable actions which we have heard of them jointly, and might look tike posthumous flattery to state what has been said of his Lordship personally ; but the general report of the neighbourhood may be relied on, that there never was a kinder And more considerate master, or a more affable 2nd 'condescend ing Minister of State, than the late Marquis of Lon- DONDERRY. None o f the villagers of North Criy, or cf the servants of his household, can speak of his con duct without expressions of gratitude, or of his death without emotions of regret. Every one has some kind act to relate—some trait of benevolence to describe— er soiree affable expre.sion to repeat. The village publican has erected his promise of good ale near his Lordship's gate, and ;kis noisy company must some :times bay, disturbed his Lordship's slumbers, but 4' mine host" of North Cray never heard a complaint , from his powerful neighbour, nor was any hint given that his license was in danger. Nay, his Lordship was a contributor to the inrwcent festivities of the place, and clubbed liK quota of money to support them. lltuing the village fair s after the first year, when he gave his contribution in person, he always sent his two or three pounds his S:eward to aid the mer riment of his humble neighbours, and ordered his gi (maids to be opened for their accommodation. A s the 'mother of animals kept by her Ladyship, in what i% called the menagerie, became an object of curio- sity among the peasantry, directions were given that the collectiun should be liberally shewn, and on ho- I) days at was always open. It is difficult, on such a subject as thii, to speak the truth without the ap-1 pearance of fl attery, b ut, in defiance of such impu tation, we must say that we never witnessed regrets more unaffected —more profound—or more general than those which have been caused by the death of his Lordship. The Marchioness is. said to have an nounced °her intention of making North Cray her future residence, notwithstanding the melancholy re flections with which it must be associated. Her La dyship has not seen the remains of her noble husband since the fatal catastrophe. The body was put in a coffin and soldered down about eight o'clock on! Wednesday night. An incident occurred in undressing the body, de serving notice. His Lordship always put on at least two shirts daily, one in the morning, and one for dinner, in which he uniformly slept. A gold brooch was accordingly observed in the bosom of his shirt, and was recognized to be one which through life he had constantly worn. It was a large square brooch of gold with a plait of his mother's hair in the centre, and had, engraven on the top, the word Irreparable. The term applied so forcibly to the loss which every one present had sustained in the death of his Lord ship himself, that it struck them to the heart at once, and drew forth a flood of tears. The brooch, with two of the three rings which were on the left hand. were given to Lord C LANWILLIA AI . Th e t hi r d r i ng, a plain gold hoop, was left on, and so remains. When the undertaker proceeded on Wednesday evening, at the hour already stated, to solder down the lid of the coffin, but very little change had been effected in the appearance of the face ; and with the exception of that indescribable expression, which only expresses the want of life, one might have imagined the possibility of again awakening existence. The, enuntenance was only something of a more livid paleness than while breathing, but looked almost as deeply pensive, mild, and composed as it heretofore was wont to appear. The lips retained their redness, and the eyes their fulness, while the elegant arch of the dark eyebrow, and the beautiful sweeping curve of the black eyelash, as it fell on the death-sallowed cheek, gave a melancholy interest to the features that pressed heavily upon the soul. The same placid quiet, too, that then dwelt in that mournful abode of death, where the extinguished re mains of him who so shortly before almost held the world in awe," reposed in such calm unconsciousness, also pervaded external but living nature, at that mo ment. A zone of soft light lingered round the dis tant horizon as it were, yet a little, to remind the world that another day had just expired, while in silence the starry sky wept its refreshing dews upon the sleeping fields and woods, which the following sunrise was to awaken into new existence. " Angels and Gods! we struggle with our foe, " While health, power, glory, pitiably decline, " Depressed, and then extinguished !' So, alas, it was in this instance! Some fresh flowers, such as his Lordship most liked in life, were, by or der of the Marchioness of LONDONDERRY, strewed over the corpse and the coffin, a few minutes before nine o'clock, for ever closed upon one of the most extraordinary men of an extraordinary age. It is not true, as at first reported, that the Mar chionesi of LONDONDERRY ever saw her Lord after he committed the fatal act. On finding what had occurred, Dr. BissricneAn immediately rushed to her dressing-room, and exclaiming 4 4 Oh, my dear Lady, my Lord,lms fallen r prevailed upon her to return to her bed-room. She has since remained in that apartment, and, we rejoice to say, now appears some what coma ched. The truth of the following anecdote may be im plicitly relied on: The late Marquis was a singularly sound sleeper, and always accustomed himself to indulge in a cer tain portion of rest, however late" the hour at which he retired. A remarkable instance of this rare quality occurred within the last few years. His Lordship, in obedience to the representations of his friends, was in the habit, at times, of having two fierce mastiffs in his bed-chamber at night. It happened, on one of these occasions, that the metropolis was visited with a violent hurricane, which did great damage among the house-tops and chimnies. The residence of the late Marquis did not escape; for, besides other mis chief, a glass skylight was forced from its socket in the roof, and, falling into the interior of the house, broke into a thousand pieces at the foot of the Mar quis's door. The mastiffs, trained to the observance "el the slightest noise upon the premises, were natu• rally roused to the most vociferous defiance by this astounding crash at the very door of their .master. — A combination more powerfully hostile to sleep, or better calculated to break the charm of that preca rious power which "steeps the senses in forgetfulness," ' cannot well be conceived ; but in the midst of all this din, regardless alike of the contention of elements without, and the deafening clamour within, the Mi nister of State continued to enjoy an unbroken slum ber, and awoke in the morning totally ignorant of • I the events of the night. The Earl of LAUDERDALE'S health has for some time been in a very precarious state. Some of the accounts received yesterday upon this subject, we re gret to say, were of a nature rather alarming. Lord W/CLI AM BENTINCK arrived in town yester day from Brussels, where he left the Duke of WEL LINGTON in good health. Colonel THORN TON, the Adjutant-General of Ire land, arrived in town on Wednesday with the melan choly tidings of the sudden death of Sir SAMUEL A UCHM UTE, the Commander-in-Chief in Ireland, while riding on horseback in the Phoenix Palk, ac companied by Colonel THORNTON. The Duke of YORK being at Brighton, the Colonel proceeded to that place, fr'm whence he accompanied the Duke of Yoast to town yesterday morning, at six o'clock, and arrived at York House, in the King's Palace, St. James's, at eleven. His Royal Highness soon after wards proceeded to his office at the Horse Guards, and transacted military business with Sir CHARLES LONG, the Paymaster-General, &e. In the evening his itnyal Highness dined with Sir HERBERT TA y LOR, at Little Camden House, Kensington, where Colonel THORNTON was of the party. SUDDEN DEATH.—This mot ning, about ten o'clock, a Gentleman, with his two daughters, on going to the Auction Dim% to Mr. A ttmerftoNo, the Stock Broker, was taken ill and tii opped down dead. Medical ad vice was immediAtely sent for, but the vital spark had fled. It is understood he came from Cambridge ou business. He was about 60 years of age. SIR SAMUEL AUCHAIUTY. The Dublin Papers of Tuesday contain the following addi tional particulars of the death of this distinguished Officer: On Sunday Sir Ramititt and Colonel Titcouteon had been in attendance en his Excellency the Loan LIEUTENANT, on official business; and between four ind five o'clock in the afternoon, the time when the fatal occurrence took place, they were riding through the Phsenix Paoli, on their return from the Lodge. Sir ; SAMUEL suddenly fell from his horse, as if from, apoplexy. Colo , nel Ganes happened to pass at the time in a jaunting car; by his aid, and that of some other persons, Or SAMUEL was placed lin the car, which was driven by Colonel Gauss to the Royal Hospital. Colonel THOAXTOII sat in the car, and supported the General in his arms. f' The dragoon in attendance on the General was dispatched at ull speed to procure the assistance of a Medical Gentleman, and on the arrival of Sir Saunst at the Royal Hospital, a vein was immediately opened in the left arm, but without effect, as the vital spark was unhappily extinct. There were no other marks resulting from Sir SAMUEL'S fall from his horse, than a slight scar on the back part of his head, which bled for a moment — his sword was bent in the fall. By the death of Sir Samuel. Aucnutrv, a vacancy octant in the Colonelcy of the 71Ith Regiment of Foot (Highlanders), now quartered in Carlow.' His sudden and untimely death will be universally lamented, as he was as amiable in private life as he was distinguished in his professional career. An inquest was held on the body by JAMES 111`CARTHT, Esq. one of the Coroners for the County of Dublin. The foreman, Maws*, M. Pam; Esq. read a statement, signed by the Medical Gentlemen who had been in attendance at the Hospital, and who examined the body of the deceased; it was delivered in, and authenticated by Surgeon Puts, as containing the opinion of those Gentlemen who signed it. Surgeon Caaurroe having been examined, and Dr. unsay being one of the Jury, as well as Surgeon Prate the Jury thought it unnecessary to examine the other Gentlemen who signed the document, and having viewed the body, found that his death was caused by apoplexy. The remains of Sir SAMUSL AUCHMUTY were embarked for England on Tuesday. They were attended to the water-side by a vast concourse of distinguished persons, and had all due mili tary honours paid to them. Sir Samuel. was in the 66th year of his age. He was created a Knight of the Bath on the 4th of May, 184)3. NATAL INTELLIGENCE. LTMINGTON, Auouss , ls.—Tbe Pursers of the Hon.

It is sup posed they are part of the plunder of the gunsmiths shops, on the memorable day of the Spafields Meeting. FATAL DUEL IN FRANCE.--..A letter in the Journal des Debaik, dated Bagnires, July 29, states as fol lows :-4P'A deplorable event has just taken place in this town. The unfortunate young Pitnic was in terred this day, having been killed in a duel with an Englishman. This affair did not arise from any per sonal quarrel. The Englishman, being in the reading room of Frescati, happened to write on the margin of a pamphlet respecting the battle of Toulouse—' that everything in it was false ; that LORD WELLINGTON had gained a complete victory; and that our (the French) army was indebted to his generosity for not having been put to the sword:—M. PINAC, a young Officer, not in actual service, who was first made ac► quainted with this circumstance, called on him to account for having written these words. The Autho rities did all they could to prevent the duel ; but their precautions became useless; and PINAC, having re ceived a ball in his belly, died some hours afterwards." MELANCHOLY Errata's or Fosmos DRlVlNG.—Yesterday, an Inquisition was taken, at the Middlesex Hospital, on the body of Mr. Lloyd, landlord of the Bag of Nails, at Pimlico. J. Fisher, keeper of the Western Lodge Gate, Mary-la-bonne l'ark, said, the deceased and a Lady were crossing the road, when a horse and gig came up, which was driving at a furious rate; the shaft struck the Lady on her head, and the wheel passed over the deceased; the horse continued to go forward at the same furious rate.— Mr. Steele, of Oxford -street, silversmith, was in the road, on horseback, and saw the horse and gig driven by a person apparently very much in liquor. The animal gal lopped at a very quick rate, the driver was goading him on with the whip; the witness pursued the gig, and found the driver drinking brandy and water at a public-house. Ile said his name was Needham, and that he resided In the Borough. The wit ness returned to the Lady, and found the deceased in great agony, and unable to speak. The man, when driving the gig, was reeling i bout in it, and leaning back, like a drunken man. This witness `s testimony was corroborated by two other persons. Mr. Wood, surgeon to the Middlesex Hospital, attended the deceased on his being brought into the Hospital, who expired in about three-quarters of an hour. On examining the body, he found four of the ribs fractured, the liver muck ruptured, and there was a great quantity of blood in the chest. His death was occasioned by the above injuries.--. The Coroner animadverted,• in severe terms, upon the conduct of Needham, and the Jury returned a verdict of Manslaughter against him, and a deodand of ,65 on the gig. ENGLISII OPERA-170USE. The long-promise.l novelty, Gil/lias, was last night produced with all th e " pomp and circumsta nce " which might have been expected from the extraor ditiary note of preparation. Most of our Readers are I well acquainted with the entertaining novel of that I name, and a reference to it will enable them to trace the hero of the drama through every particular of the greater part of his career. The first act is occu- - pied with his journey from Oviedo, his rencontre with the bandit, and the scene at the inn of Pennaflor, where he is flattered out of his supper. The second act is wh illy taken up with the cavern scene, and the escape of Gil Bias with Donna Mereia. Through these two parts Miss KELLY appeared as the hero of Santillane, and we must do her the justice to say that she acquitted herself well. The third act exhibits the hero of the Piece arrived at manhood, at the age of twenty-five, and is entirely occupied with his amour and marriage with Donna Mencia. This was the longest and most tedious part of the Piece, and symptoms appeared amongst the audience which could not have failed to excite sensations of the most unpleasant description in the mind of the author, if he was so unfortunate as to be within hearing.— Mr. PEARMAW was the hero through this part of the piece, but we cannot consider his conception of the character as felicitous. Instead of the polished Gentleman, calculated to gain the love of the gentle Donna, Mr. PEARMAN made him a mixture of the bravo and the buffoon. In the fourth and fifth acts, , Gil Blas, Mr. BARTLEY, is represerted a; a st nes -1 man anda father; here is a oepartnre from tl:e his tory altogether. The King of Spain is introduced, assuming various disguises to try the virtues of his Minister and favourite, whose character sustains every trial, and increases the estimation in which he is held by his Sovereign. He, however, falls into disgrace with his first patron, the Duke de Lerma, by whose order he is thrown into prison, and is on the point of suffering death, when the interposition of his Sovereign preserves his life, gives him liberty, and loads him with favours and honours. Thus the piece concludes. This drama had excited the expectations of the Public very strongly, for, before the curtain was drawn up, the house was literally crowded. It has put in requisition all the talent and strength of the company, which are aided by the minor attractions of gorgeous dresses and beautiful scenery. There is an abundance, we had almost said a superabundance of puns, some few of which might be safely omitted. The hero of the piece is accompanied through every stage of his eventful history by two personages, who, as the times change, also vary their occupations, which indeed are not of a very honest character: these _ are Picaro (Mr. Wfixticir), and Ambrose de Lamely (Mr. WILKINSON), to whom the author has given the utmost scope for the display of their peculiar talents. —We have all the rich and whimsical quaintness of WILKINSON, and the inimitable nonchalance and bustling vivacity of WRENCH. Miss KELLY acted with great sprightliness as the hero, but she was much more delightful as the simple and tender-hearted An tonia. Miss CA nEw and Mr. PEA RM A N warbled wi►h delicious sweetness, and Mr. BARTLEY, in the con cluding act, exhibited a fine picture of sterling inte grity, uncorrupted by the smiles of fortune or the allurements of power. We had intended to have made a few observations on the necessity of some ju dicious curtailment, which, we are sure, is requited to ensure this piece a successful run ; but we are spared the performance of that task, for Mr. BART LEY, in announcing it for repetition, intimated that so desirable an improvement should be effected pre vious to its second representation. The scenery of the subterranean cavern was particularly admired, and the escape from thence was managed with a fine melo dramatic effect. The music, almost exclusively com posed by Mr. Moss, is pretty, particularly the Overture. BETTING AT TATTERSALL'S, AUGUST is. DONCASTER ST.
