We have received, from a correspondent, whom we know -to have possessed the means of correct information on the subject, the following-interesting details of the last moments of the late Marquis of Hastings. He died*, as he had lived—a creature of lofty, ardent, and chivalrous feel ing, who always mingled with the practicarbusiness of life some portions of that elevated and elevating Sentiment which throws . dignity and grace round the homely charac ter of this world's ordinary affairs. IiITRACT Or A PRIVATE LITTER.) As the public appears-to have received very little infor mation relative to the death of that distingnished Noble man, the Marquis of Hastings, perhaps a few particular circumstances, connected therewith, may not• be unac ceptable. In September last, his Lordship and family were resid ing at a little watering place called - Mora, on the North East coast of Malta, and on the . 26th of the ,same month, his Excellency was attacked, after a shOoting excursion, by an old complaint, to which he was subject many years before in the. East Indies. It was .in the discharge of the arduous and important duties which devolved upon „the Noble Marquis, as Go vernor-General •of India, that the disease was induced, which may be considered the immediate cause of his death. He knew, from the first moment of the attack, that the tone, vigour, and elasticity of body, which his Lordship formerly enjoyed, were broken down by the influence of climates, and that a. recovery, under such circumstances, was doubtful, .which induced his Lordship to prepare, like a true Christian, for that fate which awaits-.all mankind. Intentions the most pure—actions the most brilliant—and measures the most successful—seldom equalled, and never surpassed, by any of his predecessors —were the claims which the late Marquis of Hastings had upon the grati tude of his country. The attachment to the person of his present Majesty,. which' marked all his' actions, and which is known to the world, manifested itself strongly_in his last illness. What eier differences might have existed..between.his Lordship and the Members of Administratjon (if any), they never altered his affections in this respect. . It was not alone for the King who was always dear to him, that his Lordship expressed feelings of attachment, bat -for all the members of the Royal Family; As a proof of this, on Sunday, the 12th of November, eight days be fore he went on board the Revenge, at Malta, he insisted upon seeing Capt. Fitzclarence;-of the iiiindne, that day, on his coming out of quarantine, though contrary to the advice ofhis physician; and when, .at the same time, from his extreme weakness, he was not allowed to see either Sir F. Hankey, Chief Secretary, nor. General Woodford, the Lieutenant-Governor, notwithstanding , he received Captain Fitzclarenee,. and the consequence was, a severe relapse, for his- Lordship's health had been iMproving for the two preceding days. On the 20th of November, his Excellency and family 'embarked on board the Revenge, for Naples. During the first two days, his Lordship appeared.to • improve a little by, the change of air, but the night of the second day, being stormy, increased 'the motion of the ship, which rendered it peculiarly inconvenient. The night before his decease; apprehensive that that night was to be his last, his Lordship desired his family to be called.around him, that he might.take his last fare well. • The scene that followed was most touching. His Ex cellency elevated himself on the pillows, and extending his arms to grasp, as it were, within--them, all that was dear and sacred to him on earth, his wife and daughters, he ad dressed them in the following manner, in a tone of voice firm and unembarrassed. My beloved wife, and darling children—l have called you :„1:-.und me, as I am persuaded I have but a few hours to live ;—know that the joys and pleasures of this life are futile and. perishable. The world knows no feelings like mine at this moment ; you, my beloved wife, will have to struggle with an ungrateful world; bear up against its coldness and malignity with Christian resignation ;• we shall—we must part ; our separation will be of short dura tion—we shall all meet in Heaven !" His Lordship embraced the young ladies severally, who remained, for a short time, inconsolable, at his bedside, and then withdrew to the other side of the same apartment, ,out of his Lordship's sight, where they continued, on their knees, in fervent prayer, for two hours. Lady Hastings remained on his right, with her hand firmly grasped in his ; for his, very heart and soul, if I may be allowed to use .the expression, were -centred in her Ladyship. This extraordinary attachment of the Marquis, was re turned, on her part, with sornething like supernatural affec tion. During his Lord s hip' s illness, he was always at his bedside, watching over him with anxiety, and anticipating his wishes. FOr the last six Weeks her Ladyship's nights were passed without sleep, and heydays without food, and she is: now suffering the consequences of a separation from the object of her affections, and ,the man whom, throughout life, she adored. To skew more clearly the.patriotie feelings, and philan thrOpy, which his Lordship possessed at all times, and, par ticularly, at a moment when the soul .was separating. itself from the body, in the presence of all that was dear to him on earth, he could not quit the world he was in, in peace, without deploring thz exterminating war that ravaged Greece, and the politiCal and religious dissentions which convulsed his unhappy countrylroland. His Excellency's son, Lord Rawdon, who was at Col lege, a youth truly worthy of such a father, was sent for ; but had not-been apprised of the very dangerous state of his Lordship. He set out on his journey, alone, through France. The delays which he experienced--,the adverse winds which his little bark- had to encounter—the length of his voyage —the sacred object of his pursuit—reminds one of the wanderings of Telemachus, in search of his father, Ulysses. Alas, he arrived at Malta the day after the interment of his father ! A family .of Indians from the lake of the Two Mountains, during their hunting excursion last summer, caught a young bear of about two weeks' old, a Squaw of the party de termined to bring it up, for which purpose she weaned her own child, a boy of about one year old, and took the cub to nurse in its place. The cub in a short time became very fond of .its adopted mother, and would search her out from amongst a crowd ; when recognised, he would search and tease her until she would give him access to her breast. If he thought he had been too long neglected of receiving food as her adopted suckling, he would sig nify his wishes by laying hold of her breast, and would growl and show his. displeasure if taken away before .his appetite. had been thoroughly satiated.—.-Montreal Courant, EXTRACTS FROM CORRESPONDENCE_ FOUND IN THE CAPTURED BAGGAGE OF THE smarts. • The following letters are translated from copies of the original Spanish (From Lieut.-Colonel P.

On Wednesday last, a mill took Pace not 106 miles from thy Farriers Arms, Deansgate, Manchester. between a noted 'Pedes trian and a Coach-Spring Maker. Round 1. Both men eager - to commence, when the Spring maker,delivered a tremendous hit on the frontispiece of Mr. Walker, who succeeded but poorly in making his blows tell, being uncommonly stiff in his understaiding ; he had the worst of this round, yet he appeared to renew the battle amidst the cheers of the spectators. 2. It was evident the Spring-maker had a tough customer, for his adversary made play, and delivered a tremendous blow on his conk, with a ditto on his victualling-office—both down. S. After a moment's sparring the Pedestrian again made play with his right hand, but it was no go, for had he not walked his favourite way (backwards), he would have been wanted next round. This round ended all in favour of the Spring-maker. 4. It was expected that the Spring-maker hid finished his work, but his opponent came up as game as a cock, and delivered a slash ing.. hit on . the throat of Spring:maker, 'which floored him. 5. Both eager, and a good- deal of the weaving system com menced ; both bleeding profusely. A struggle, when both were down, Mr. Walker under. The fight had now lasted 20 minutes, and both men shewed good game. 6. and 7. Both men fought well, and each was determined, till at last the Spring-maker delivered,• a good hit on the body, which dropped his opponent like a shot. S. The Pedestrian came up quite groggy, but shewed the most determined game, and finding anopening in the guard of his op ponent, gave him a good hit between the peepers, which dropped him in return. 9. The Spring-maker came to the scratch like a good one; not withstanding the effects of the last round were visible, when both commenced sparring for wind, the Pedestrian being the worst of the two, a close both-down, no mischief done. 10. Something similar to the last. • 11._ The Pedestrian came up like one determined to conquer; but it was of no use, for the Spring-maker hit him down. 12. It was evident the Spring-maker was both too tall and too heavy for his opponent ; notwithstanding be came up quite game, and a good slashing round commenced, both down, Pedestrian under. 13. Both men piping, the Spring•maker went in anti endea voured to plant a hit on the knowledge-beg . of his adversary ; but it was " no go," otherwise had it told, it must have finished the battle; another Close, and both down. • 14. It was evident the battle must soon terminate, for the Pe destrian was all astray, and was hit down easy. A good deal of chaffing now commenced the Pedestrian owning his adversary was the better man by half an inch ;. at the same time he would fight him or any man else_ for 501. a-side—w a lk 100 m il es for wards, for 501. a-side—walk - 100 backwards, for 501. a-side. The battle lasted one hour and a quarter. ABBOTT AND LARKINS.-To-morrow the fight between these men will take place on the Newmarket road. The battle is for fifty pounds a-side. Larkins is the favourite at five and six to four. JONES AND RAlNEs.—These men will fight in the same ring with Larkins and Abbott, for ten pounds a-side and a purse. We trust the latter will be liberal, as otherwise, the winning man must " gain a loss," as his expences; in going a long distance, will more than swallow up his profits. JEM BURNS AN D ROBERT. BALDWIN.-The fourth deposit of fifteen pounds a-side, for the fight between these men, will be made good at Harry Harmer's on Tuesday night next. Both men are in active training. IKE DODD AND Tom RErntE.—Two sovereigns a-side were put down at the Tennis Court on Wednesday, to be made 251. a-side, for a match between these men, to "come off" on the 'same day on which Jem Burns and Whiteheadetl Bob fight. DOild is backed by a respectable butcher at Rytherhithe. The first element of which hooks are composed is rags or old linen. The quantity of . this material annually used by the paper manufacturers amounts to 21,660,0001 h. Rags sell at eight franc* the quintal, so that the value of the . whole quantity absorbed by the paper manufacturers amounts to 7,450,000 francs, or near 300,000/. storling. The provinces supply seven-eighths of this material. At Paris it is collected in the streets. The number of persons who live by collecting it is. about 4,000, each of whom gains about 26 sons, or Is. 6d. per day. The total number of individuals who support themselves by this kind of industry, at the rate of about 500 francs a-year, is about 14,960. There-are_ in France 200 paper-manufactories, having in all about 1,900 tubs.. ,Each tub prodoresa-day eight reams of paper, which would amount in - 300 days, to 2 . :A80,000 reams. Of the paper it is calculated that ale quantity used by grocers, up holsterers, and other trades, unconnected with writing or printing. is 850,000 reams. In paper for writing or drawing, the estimate is 1,100,0001 b., and in printing paper 930;000: The number of persons employed on 'an average in a paper manufactOry is 16, which gives 18,000 for the 200 manufactories. We 'must add to this number the paper-sellers and the individuals - employed in carrying it from one place to another. The number of type-founders is 35. The workmen employed in type founding and in the manufacture of stereotypes, is 1,000. The annual produce of this manufacture is estimated ha value .et. 650,000fr5. 'the manufacture of ink at Paris alone occupiee- seven esta blishments, which make in the year 76,0001ba. of The average price per lb. is two francs, which raises the pilue of the whole to 150,000 frs. Other branches of industry contribute to the manufacture of books. Thus at Paris there are reckoned SO lithographic premes, 89 engravers in taille douce, 2O copper-plate-engravers, 9 wood-engravers, 23 engravers of geography and topographY, 17 music-engravers, SOO card-inakers, and '5 illuminators of parchment. The number of printers. existing in France is 665 ; of that number Paris has 82. In the departments all of them 'art not occupied. In 1825, the number of presses in activity was 1,55`0. TheSe -l i .aa presses printing at the - rate of two reams a diry-taSh, would give, for 300 days labour, 930,000 reams: But of this. quantity two-fifths only are employed in books.- The rsst is em ployed in printing for private business, or the public adminiz.. tration. • The 872,000 reams employed in books amount to 186,000,000 of sheets, or between 13,000,000 and 14,600,000 of veluirvs. Of this number the press of M.cirman Didot alone produces 400,000 volumes.. • Statistical_Researcbes, respecting the city of Paris, estitnata . the property of a printing-office on an average at 9 r 9S3sfraneei*Oh press. The 1,55 Q presses would thus give &capital *C14,46050 francs. They require an annual outlay . ' of , 2,525,000.1tan0i. Every press employs two pressroewaad three ethiapositors, making 7,750 workmen, to whom we must add the foreman;. theetuyac. : tors of the press, and all those employed about a irinting-office. The estimate for the whole is 10,000, . The, foremen and readers gain weekly 45 francs, the compositors 41 francs a day, the press men 4 frau - es. • = Freati.' 'Thus, 4,650 gain in SOO days - 6,2 7 17400 3,120,000 3,100 pressmen gain 2;260 engravers, fOremen, and correctors of the press 5*16;006 16,264.300; The hot-pressing of paper employs 400 persons, who gain an— mddy 202,500 francs ; and the stitching 1,300, who gain 912,500 francs. . . To this amount we must add the remuneration given to pill _Or. letteri,.but this amount is comparatively small, as the - greatest part of those works are re-impressions of books,_ the .copytight. of which has devolved on the public, " • • - The number of binders, including their Workmen, amOunti to, 1,200. The most able gain fOur francs 'a "day, anti the" iesit:frOia: two to two and a half francs. For 300 _dais - they thilltoin 960,000 francs. Adding to this s.um , the Priee of the ' raw materials, and the profits of the 'maStere, we'. haie . 4 1 .!:); 0 0 0 francs. In fine, the annual produce of printing and part', &c. amounts to 21,588,113 francs. This sum divided among 13,500,000 voluthee; gives as the average price Of meh, I.frano ;and 61 centimes. It is - here that the trade of the bOokseller be-= gins.: At' Paris the numbie of booksellers - is 66* - 1 ' itt the ments 922.

Having thus explained the material productions of the-v.4 s -i n , France, it remains to state its intellectual produce. But Va lk de tails I reserve for another letter.— Times.
