s 4 IMAIBUIMII PAPERS. -41P DEATH OP BLUCHER. Penult, SeYr.lB.—On the 14th, in the even ing, the news which we had for tat= time dreaded arrived . here, that Field-Marshal Prim* Blucher, of Wahlstadt, terminated his glorious life on the I'-t1 of this mont!i, at 19 minutes past 10 a i'dock in the evening, at his seat at Kriblowitz, in Silesia. His Majesty the King received this sad news by a report from the Aileele-camp of the Prince, Cul. Count Von Nostits, and also by a verbal comm. qb nication frost Capt. Vun Rudorf, the second Aide de-camp. His Majesty immediately gave orders that the array should put on mourning fur eight days, and despatched Count Blucher, of Wahlatadt, the Priace's grandson, with a must gracious letter a condolence to the Dowager Princess. Our readers will be glad to hear some account of the last days of the Prinev's life. On the .ith, his Majesty sent from Breslaw his Aide-de-camp, Major-general Von Witsleben, to him. The Prince was very weak, but in full possession of his mental faculties. He desired General Witsleben to thank his Majesty fur all the favours he had conferred on to recommend his wife to his Majesty's kind ness, and to beg that he night be buried without rsteetation in the open country, in a field un the read between Kriblowitz and Kunst, on a spot which he described, ender three lime-trees. On the observation of the General, that 1-. e need not think his death so near, as the physicians by no means considered his case so desperate, he said— " I know that I shall die; for I feel it better than the physicians can judge of my situation. I (lie without reluctance, for I am now of nofurther use. Tell the King that I have lived, and shall die, faithful to him.' He gave the Genteel his hand to take leave. The next day his Majesty, accom panied by Prince Charles, paid him u visit ; at first he was in a kind of lethargy, and did not notice what was• passing, but afterwards he knew the King. His Majesty, among other expressions of regard, said to him, " You may be assured that no one takes tuore interest in your welfitre than I do. 1 know what the country and myself owe to you—do not give up the hope of recovery ; follow the advice of your physicians, and t the remedies that are offered to you." [The Prince had latterly omitted to do this.] He thanked his Majesty, and recommended the Princess to him. In the but few days he was without pain, but his s:rengtk greatly declined, and he was quite unable speuk. The body is embalmed, aud placed for the present in the church of Kriblowitr. He was horn, a , fir as we can learn from former accounts, an the if;th December, 171:2; and has therefore lived 7(i 8 months, and :Li days. He had been 45 years the army. His martial glory fills the world— " Mortuum dices cave qui telictis ultra voluit stems-, " kn,uri neva dueauit krt. a qui " Neppoleents." RUSSIAN MISSION TO PERSIA. A German Piper coniaina the following extract Fm a Report to by the Russian Envoy in Persia : His Majesty. when i was introduced, was sitting in the ball of des Mirrors, in the third Court of the P.daee.

We this day give a copious abridwnent of the proceedings which have hitherto reached us of the Coroner's Jury held at Oldham, on the body of John Lees, one of the victims of the bloody 16th of August, and we feel it to be of such importance •that we shall continue them next week. Since the fatal' da3N we have had an almost novaried task of condemning the conduct of Magistrates, Soldiers, (we beg pardon, we mean the Man chester Yeomanry, who, if to form the character of a Soldier be needed Courage, and its uniform attend ant Mercy, urn no Soldier•), Coroners, and Consta. Llcs, and with pleasure do we change our note to do justice to Mr. Ferrand, the Coroner on the Old. ham inquest. His booty of a clerk had by Lis conduct created a prejudice in our minds against the master, which, however, has Leen entirely removed by Mr. Ferrand's upright, manly, honest, honour able, and gentlemanly conduct on this occasion. We rrg►et to say that Mr. Fdtreail, by his stileie. (wrest conduct, has forfeited every ela,in to the abase «Origin/a, by alwarently to I la el: himself betweett (dratted justice gild the delinquent.. We have the highest possible uuthurity for stating, that Mr. Norris, the stipendiary Magistrate at Man chester, is brother in law of Mr. Bragge Bathurst. On this FACT we make no comment! We leave it to our readers to account for the breathless zeal with which Ministers identified themselves with this Ma gistrates acts, and degraded their Sovereign by approving in his name a murderous breach of divine and human laws. Some curious and unprecedented circumstances occurred on Tuesday at the ceremony of swearing in the New Sherifik, at Guildhall. Mr. Sheriff Par kins having been the first elected, claimed the right of seniority ; but Mr. Sheriff Rothwell, as being an Alderman, contended against the claim on the ground of ancient custom. An appeal having been made to the Recorder, he decided that Alderman Rothwell was the senior Sheriff, against which de cision Mr. Parkins entered his formal Protest, pre paratory to the question of right being submitted to the Court of King's Bench. There are precedents in favour of Alderman Rothwell, but it does not appear from the proceedings of yesterday, that the case has been ever decided by law. When a gentle. man accepts the office of Sheriff in the first instance. while many others refuse and fine to be excused, he certainly has a fair and legitimate claim to pre cedence. On the subject of the appointment of a Sub-Sheriff the new Sheriffs have abe disagreed, and their Shrievalty at present promises nothing like concord or unanimity. It is said that Mr. She riff Parkins intends neither to give nor to take dinners, as he probably conceives that eating and drinking are not essentially necessary to the office, and that a gentleman may make a very good and excellent Sheriff without indulging in the luxuries of the table. State of the Poll yesterday at the close:—Bridges, 1,954; Thorpe, 1,469; Wood, 1,456. INTENDED AERIAL ASCENT FROM PEN- TOXVILLE. A Mr. Deans announced his intention of ascend ing from Belvidere Gardens, Pentonville, on Tues day lust, at one o clock, but the boisterous state f the weather induced him to postpone the attemit till yesterday at the same hour. Every prepration was carefully made, every precaution to revolt disappointment taken, and yet, after having inspect ed the process of inflation for a very considerable time, the company were informed that the means provided were insufficient to insure a safe ascent.— e regret this much, as we understand Mr. Deans had promised himself the pleasure of exhibiting a material philosophical improvement in the manage. ment of these Aerial Much:,.es ; it is however, but justice to Mr. D. and the proprietor of the Gardens to state that the whole of the money taken for ad- mission was most hantlsoncly returned. We add with regret that considtr4Lle violence was manifest 1. r smvie 41:.• ••.••r. tl I , v the ropti!.l , c on thu , , I. a.s Mi do iill . WI zut ha dis sus
