The removal of Lord Stanley to the House of Peers has created a vacancy in the representation of the northern division of the county of Lancaster. The move is a sudden one, but not wholly unlooked for. Lord Stanley has long been evidently in the shade, and waning `'into the sear a n d ye ll ow l ea f" on the Treasury benches. All parties have antici pated for him, sooner or later, the fate of a Brougham, from the moment when he first abjured his Whig principles, and took the apostate's chance with his Tory enemies : and this career the inmates of the Derby Dilly have well nigh run. Between Sir James Graham and his Lordship there has been a rivalry of recanting, an "alacrity in sinking," as Falstaff would say. Shade after shade has gone over the bright fame of Lord Stanley, until the whole has deepened into Tartarian black. Brow-beaten, muzzled, repressed to the third rank by Peel, forced to play second fiddle to Mr. Gladstone, what is Lord Stanley now ? A man, avoided and distrusted by his party, without the gravity, solidity, or self-control of a to waste hi s energ i es i n ex hibiti ons nee or spit e i n th e H ouse o f L or d s. It has long been no secret that Sir Robert Peel wished to get rid of hi m, as heartily, at least, as he did to get quit of L or d Ellenborough. Both ge niuses kept the Premi er i n constant uneasiness, and a statesman, harmlesstesman fi i t m onlypot impotence state of nervousness which, whenever the Noble Se cretary for the Colonies was on his legs in the House of Commons, was painfully visible to all, notwith standing every attempt to conceal it. Lord Stanley's career has clearly proved that it is folly to expect to work out democratic reforms by aristocratic instruments. The Liberalism of early youth with them is not an earnest deep-seated love of freedom, but a showy sentimentality,—half vanity, half love of popularity. With men like Lord Stan ley, Sir Francis Burdett, and Sir James Graham, the more worldly feelings soon preponderate, or mo tives even of pique acquire an undue ascendancy over their minds. The secession of Lord Stanley from the Whig Cabinet can only be attributed to these feelings, as was evident from the bitterness with which he as sailed his former colleagues. During the greater part of last session he was condemned to inglorious silence, or confined to squabbling w ith W est I n di ans a b out Coolies and African immigrants. Lancashire has got rid of him, and we congratulate its electors. We hope that the Parliamentary con nexion, which his Lordship tells us is only suspended, may be totally severed, for we lament that the county should ever have countenanced by its support political aspostacy in its representative. His Lordship's part ing address to the electors shows that his family in terest will be bestowed upon a supporter of monopoly, the corn-laws, and Toryism generally, and it magna nimously denounces a hitherto undiscovered sect of innovators, who court change merely for its own sake, and without the slightest prospective view of benefit. Mr. Talbot Clifton is the candidate whom the Tories have been graciously pleased to palm upon the electors of the northern division. To judge from this gentleman's address, he will be all things to all men : a champion of agriculture, an enlightened friend of commerce and manufactures, a patron to the poor, whom he "regards equally with their w ea lth y neigh bours," and a devoted servant of the Church. Who is there that can find fault with such a representative ? What class is left out of his calculatio ns ? the people ! How does he propose to confer such inestimable blessings ? Simply, by keeping things as they are I But things as they are do not, unfor tunately, operate in the manner desiderated, and, therefore, there is a hole in Mr. Clifton's logic. The fact is, the address is a very. milk-and-water affair, character of its author. worthy of the No one would Clifton is suspect from it that Mr.the an ex. Catholic, an ex-Liberal, or, at all events, son of a Liberal. He has made a s many tu rns as Lord Stanl ey, and may "turn and turn again, ' ' if he gets into Parliament. North Lancashire will become notorious as a spindle for weathercocks. AMERICAN NEWS.

At home every day till Three, and from Five till Eight. By the arrival of the Royal Mail steam-ship Acadia, Captain Harrison, we have New York papers to the lat, and Boston to the 2d inst., inclusive. She brings about fifty passengers. The Acadia left this port on 4th of August, and arrived at Boston, after a passage of constant head winds, in thirteen days. We are much pleased to find, from the Boston Daily Adver tiser, that the passengers, on their arrival at Boston, presented the Acadia's new captain with a handsome tea service of plate, which was accompanied by a complimentary letter, signed by all the passengers, and headed by ex-Governor Davies, of America, one of the passengers. We are additionally pleased to find that he has been honoured with a similar compli ment by his passengers on his homeward passage. The Acadia sailed again for Liverpool on the Ist of September, about one o'clock, passed and boarded the Ilibernia, off the Lighthouse, at two, and obtained a copy of Willson and Smith's European Times," which contained the sews of Queen Victoria's accouchement, and the movement of Prance upon Tangiers. The Hibernia would reach Boston at three o'clock, in a twelve days' passage, and as there were two engine expresses in readiness at Boston, the one for New York and the other for Montreal, the news which the Hibernia took out (August 20) would be published in New York, with that of the Great Western (August 17), as Adams and Co.'s express, per the Acadia, reported that, up to five r. at. on Saturday, nothing had been heard of the Great Western being off New York. The arrival of these two steam-ships on this occasion, had, for some days past, excited great interest in New York and Boston. The Tory candidate comes recommended by two influences which of all others deserve to be repressed in this county—by religious bigotry and commercial monopoly. Whoever remembers that the Catholic communion numbers in its ranks more than one hun dred millions of souls, probably more than all other Christian churches together, ought not, in the pre sent state of Ireland, to sanction a sentence of pro scription against them by the election of their enemies to be Members of Parliament. Is it righteous to for get that Time, the greatest of reformers, has exerted his silent, purifying power on the Cath o li cs as we ll as on ourselves Monopoly is the exclusive privilege of one man over all others to buy or to sell. In whatever coun try it exists it produces nothing but devastation. Exclusive privileges ruin the old and the new world. In the midst of several millions of unfortunate wretches there arises the proud heads of some extor tioners, gorged with riches, and exulting over the misery of all. We ask how long we are to be ex posed to the contempt and ridicule of our neighbours for our corn-laws ? Let the men of Lancashire look at the small numbers of the agriculturists given in the new census, and say whether they will consent to FOREIGN EXCHANGES. Bills on London lO9l to 110 Bills on France 5,2:37 to 5 ; 25 Bills on Amsterdam Bills on Hamburgh 354 to 357 Bills on Bremen -to Exchange on England is steady at 9 3.4 to 10. At this rate specie will be shipped in small amounts, and we find that about one million in silver, mostly in Mexican dollars, have been shipped from this port and Boston during the month. We are of opinion that exchange will range from 9 1.2 to 10 during Septem ber, and that another million of silver will be exported. PHILADELPHIA, AUG. 30, FIVE P.M.—The Stock Market was rather fiat to-day, and prices of most descriptions declined :-6,000 dolls.

CANADA. The news from Canada is unimportant. The Mon treal Courier asserts in a late number that the Go vernor-General had formed his Cabinet. It also re ports that the present Ministry do not think it ad visable that the existing Parliament should be again called together; although it is tolerably certain that they would command a majority of eight or ten mem bers. The crops through the provices are abundant, the weather fine, business good, the people peaceable, and everything appears satisfactory. Toronto had been visited by a large and destructive fire. It was reported in town yesterday evening that his Excellency the Governor-General has contem plated an Administration. Mr. Morris is spoken of as the Receiver-General, Mr. Merritt as Inspector-General ; Mr. D. B. Pa pineau as Commissioner of Crown Lands ; Mr. Cha bot, Member for Quebec, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Mere dith are variously spoken of as Attorneys and Solici tors-General. It is said that in case either of the latter gentlemen accept office, a vacancy will be made for them at three Rivers, by the retirement of Mr. Grieves. We have also heard it stated that Mr. When in lat. 50 deg. 2 min. N., lon. 32 deg. 6 min. W., on Monday night, about nine o'clock, passed the Britannia hence for Boston ; exchanged rocket and blue-light signals, and a salute of guns. She was running with a fair wind, light sea, and was then five days out. The political news brought by the Acadia is not important. Mr. President Tyler had withdrawn from contesting the next Presidency, and had thrown his influence into the democratic scale, which, however, will, it is believed, have but little effect in the result of the approaching contest. Large meetings are now holding in all parts of the Union, and the general opinion is that Clay will occupy the Chair for the ensuing term ; it will not, however, be obtained without being purchased at the sacrifice of a large amount of cash and principles. It is reported at New York, upon the authority of the Washington correspondent of the Sun, that, at a meeting of the Cabinet yesterday, it had been de termined upon to call an extra session of Congress. It is further stated that England has taken the 4,000,000 dollars loan of Mexico, for the purpose of facilitating a war between the two Governments. This is given as a reason for calling the extra session. Captain Barstow, of the Cambridge, from Liver pool, at New York, reports picking up the crew of a French fishing schooner Avenir, of HOnfleur, France, on the 12th of August, in lat. 44 36, lon. 53. They had been separated from their vessel thirty-six hours, by a violent gale of wind and thick fog. When they boarded the Cambridge, they judged themselves to be sixty miles from their vessel. They were utterly destitute of provisions and water. We deeply regret to report two distressing acci dents at the Falls of Niagara. The one, in the death of a gentleman from Philadelphia, named Thompson. tie was on a visit at the Falls, in company with a friend of ours, resident in Liverpool, who returned in the Acadia. Mr. Thompson disappeared suddenly, and is supposed to have perished in the cataract. In company with one or two other gentlemen, he had passed behind the sheet of water, and, on coming out, lingered about the rock which overhangs the abyss. He was heard to say that he wished to go where no one else had ever been. He was soon missed, and all search proved unavailing. It is conjectured that a sudden dash of water swept him from the dangerous position to which he had ventured. The other ielates to the unfortunate death of a young lady. She was in company with a party of friends and relatives, and while attempting to gather some shrubs growing on the brink of the precipice near the Museum, lost her balance, and with a loud shriek fell. When taken up she was alive, but in sensible. Able medical aid, which was promptly rendered, was unavailing ; and she died in about three hours. These sad events throw a damp over the visitors, who are very numerous at this interesting spot. TREMENDOUS HURRICANE AND FLOOD IN WIS CONSIN TERRITORY.—We learn from the Green Bay Republican that on the Bth instant a hurricane, ac companied with rain and hail, swept over Brown and Calmut counties with such fury, that in the space of twenty minutes property was destroyed to the value of 20,000 dollars. Houses, barns, bridges, fences and trees were scattered and tossed about like chaff; and in many places the crops of every kind were flattened and destroyed. Trees, four and five inches in dia meter, were twisted off at Duck Creek, and at Suamico River all the large trees, for the distance of half a mile in the direction of the Bay shore were either torn up or blown down. Every bridge between Twin Rivers and Gray Bay and Fond du Luc, were swept away. In business matters the appearance was generally favourable. The imports at New York during the month of August was greater than ever known, and the heavy stock of imported goods had already lowered prices. In the staple article of cotton we annex a report, published by a New York broker, for transmission by the Acadia, dated August 29 :—The unsettled tone of our market, alluded to, in my last circular, per Caledonia, of 14th inst., continued until we were placed in possession of dates from Liverpool to 4th inst., per Acadia, on the 19th inst. Holders assumed a firmer position, on the receipt of these advices, and generally demanded a small advance ; this, however, was not acceded to by purchasers, and the business transacted consequently was limited ; the market was again fully supplied at previous rates on the second day, and some disposition to press sales was mani fested; this has resulted in a reduction of one-eighth to a quarter of a cent. on the lower grades, with which the market has been more fully supplied. Holders of finer cottons are generally unwilling sellers, even at the above extreme quotations, and some factors still refuse to submit a bale at present rates, considering that the coming crop does rot present indications of a very large yield, although the plant is unusually strong and forward. Sales for the week ending 17th instant, 2,800 bales; for the week ending 24th instant, 3,800 bales ; since, to this date, 2,400, with a firmer tone, at the present quota tions. Receipts of the new crop at New Orleans, 640 bales up to 20th instant ; a few small parcels have also reached this city, from Charleston. P.S.—The inquiry, which has been moderate, has resulted in sales to the extent of 1,400 bales, since noon of Thursday, and has been freely met by holders in small parcels, there being but few lists in the mar ket, which are held rather firmly, at quotations. Freights are still tending upwards ; some few en gagements were made yesterday at 5-16 d. for square bales to Liverpool, and as the packet of the 6th is full, and the succeeding one nearly so, the rate will not probably be lower. The Grain market, also, exhibits very little change. Prices of Flour and Wheat are firm, but sales are small. The crop of Western New York is more abundant than ever before. Western Flour is selling at 4,12 i to 4,25 dolls. per bbl.; and Southern a shade higher. At Buffalo, a great Wheat market, 70 and 71 cents. is paid for wheat. l We have no transactions of any importance to no tice in Ashes. The prices are as last quoted—for Pots 4 181, and 4 50 dolls. for Pearls. In Provisions a very dull business was transacted, at prices ranging as yesterday. We quote Mess Pork 9 621 dolls. ; Prime 8a 8 121 dolls. ; Mess Beef 5 25 a 5 621 dolls., and Prime 3 25 dolls. The prices of Stocks curing the last fortnight have Sherwood will be Solicitor-General for Canada Wes Th 2 Sherbrooke Gazette says that a meeting was held in Sherbrooke on the 19th inst., at which it was resolved to carry out a long-talked of project of estab lishing a cotton factory at that village. A subscrip tion was opened for 25,000 dolls., in shares of 100 dolls. each ; 150 were taken up on the spot, leaving 100 open.

In addition to the cotton factory, knitting machines are to be set going for the manufacture of woollen drawers, shirts, stockings, &c.; and arrangem en t s have been made for making sewing silk from the raw material. We regret to learn that the strike among the Irish labourers on the Beauharnois canal, is of a more deeply disgraceful nature than we first anticipated, for they not only have refused to work themselves, but, by force of arms, are compelling a number of French Canadians, who were employed on the line to abandon the work. Some of the contractors have made repre sentations to the Board of Works, protesting that they are forced by bodies of riotous men to stop their works, and that, unless they are protected by a suffi cient military force, they cannot resume their labour. Common labourers are now receiving three shil lings a day, but they have turned out for 3s. 6d., and some of them want 4s. The Gazette thinks that 31. 6d. is not an unreasonable price for a day's work, but we believe we are correct in saying that it is an unprecendented price in Canada, and we doubt whe ther contractors . will receive money enough on their contracts to pay it. Taking into consideration the low price of provisions of every kind, wages are de cidedly high at 3s. a day for common labourers. But we fear that it is not the rate of wages which occa sions these difficulties every two or three months, but the same spirit which was conspicuous among the same class of persons on the canals and railroads of the United States, and which has finally brought upon them the hatred of the American nation. No civi lised community can have two opinions on such dis graceful conduct.—Montreal Herald. QUEBEC, AUG. 12.—The season still continues ex traordinary. Some hay was got in on Saturday, but it again rained during the night. and yesterday morn ing. Some wheat was rusted in the alternate sun shine and showers which prevailed during the whole of last week. It has been remarked that wild fruit of every description has not come to maturity this season, or is smaller and of an inferior quality; and it is to be apprehended that the cultivated crops may have suffered from the same influence, although they gene rally appear luxuriant. The apples are small and at tacked by worms or insects, and smaller fruits in the gardens have suffered by too much wet.—Gazette. GREAT FIRE AT TORONTO.—We learns from Mr. Smead, of the Canada Express, who left Toronto at half-past three o'clock yesterday afternoon, that a most destructive fire was raging. It broke out in Metcalf and Cheney's iron foundry in Lot-street which was consumed with three dwellings. From thence it communicated with a large brick block of dwellings in Young-street, which was in flames when Mr. Smead left. The wind was strong from the east, and the fire had caught a number of times on the west side of Young-street, but by great exertions of the citizens was got under. Serious apprehensions, however, were felt that it would get the mastery ; if so, the destruction of property would have been im mense.—Buffalo Corn. Ado. (Correspondence of the United States Gazette.) SAN PERNANDO.—How unfortunate has been the year 1844 for Venezuela! what evils have we suf fered, and how much more are we yet to suffer before this fatal year is sepulchered in the abyss of time! All are absorbed in the last misfortune that has pros trated us, the new deluge that has submerged and devastated San Fernando! San Fernando may now be said not to exist. The river begun to rise in May last, and continued until it covered the entire surface of the land ; and in spite of our most efficient, active, and constant efforts to save ourselves, by opposing barriers and dikes to the force of the waters, the Apure has at last reached the height of two yards above the general level of the land, and has inun dated the entire community. The houses have also been flooded in all parts, and, notwithstanding we exerted our individual endeavours to oppose the ad vance of the waters by new intrenchments, they have been filled to the height of two, four, and six feet; some have wasted away and fallen, while those that remain, although they still resist the dashing of the waters, must eventually submit to their power and fall. The streets are so many rivers, in which the rapid current is scoring and penetrating deeper; already deep wells and ditches are formed, which, after the waters have retired to the bed of the river, will re quire much earth, much time, and many thousands of dollars to obliterate and level. There are now no houses, no estates, no seed time ; all has been levelled and destroyed by the fury of the inundation • no r have we even a place in which to bury the dead; should the flood con tinue a month longer, we shall see the dead bodies of men, women, and children, with those of the wild beasts of the mountains, and domestic ani mals, all floating together upon the devastating waters. The inhabitants of this province have applied to the Executive power for aid to alleviate their neces sities. We hope that the Government will com e promptly and generously to the rescue. SUPPLEMENT TO THE " LONDON GAZETTE," A Supplement to the London Gazette of Friday, which was published on Saturday evening, contains the Orders in Council for carrying into effect the treaties of commerce with Austria, Hanover, Olden burgh, Mecklenburgh Schewrin, and Mecklenburgh Strelitz—and also Orders in Council creating certain " districts for spiritual purposes" under the provisions of the " Act' to make better provision for the spiritual care of populous places." Dispatches frem the Governor of the Mauritius were received at the Colonial-office on Saturday. _ / 4/ • ART-UNION OF LONDON. On Saturday last we attended a private view of the pictures selected by the prize -holders hi the London Art-Union for the year 1844, which are now exhibit ing at the Gallery in Suffolk-street, Pall-mall East. The number of selected pictures is 251, the whole of which have been before the public at those exhibitions of art which are open to the prize holders to select from, viz. :—the Royal Academy, the British Institu tion, the Society of British Artists, the Society of Painters in Water Colours, and the New Society of Painters in Water Colours. Of these the Royal Academy furnishes 73; the Society of British firtiAts 92; the British Institution 31 ; the Society of Pain ters in Water Colours 29 ; and the New SocietOf Painters in Water Colours 26. In addition to which a bust, in marble, and a group, have been selected from the Society of British Artists. We have also Mr. Bell's Eagle Slayer, from the recent Westminster hall exhibition ' • three or four bronzes ; a water colour copy o f Calcott's Raffaele and Fornarina, which, it will be remembered, formed the subject of the engraving for 1843, and an unfinished proof of the Castle of Ischia. As all these works, at least, all the selected works, have been already be fore the public, and for the most put noticed by us at the time of their previous exhibition, we will - not enter into any detailed criticism of their respective merits. Suffice it to say that the majority of them afford proof of the excellent taste which, in general, has governed the selection of the fortunate prize holders. It will be seen by the analysis we have given that the Society of British Artists is the fa vourite; we know not for what reason, unless it be from a desire to discourage the monopoly which is generally understood to be the pervading principle of the Royal Academy, for it cannot be denied that the pictures selected from the latter institution are amongst the best, if not the best, in this exhibition; we might refer especially in support of this position to D. Roberts's splendid picture, the Pyramids of Gizeh at sunset; Tennant's Magpie Island ' - and Cooper's Repose, which reminds us forcibly o f some of the happiest efforts of Cuyp's pencil. The Ford, by the same artist; the Ploughed Field, by Lee; and Waiting for the Ferry, by Barraud, are also beauti ful specimens of oil painting. But it is almost unittir to make particular selections from amongst the large number of highly meritorious works of which Ws exhibition can boast, many of which, in the cursory glance we were enabled to give to them on Saturday, no doubt, escaped our notice. Few, however, who visit this exhibition will, we apprehend, be prepared to dispute the beneficial effect of the Art-I) nion in encouraging the arts and improving the public taste. From a correspondence which the Committee have very properly published in their catalogue, it appears that an attempt has been made, in connexion wish this year's distribution of prizes, to carry out one of those jobs which, when the institution was first establishes, it was considered by many persons that it would have a tendency to promote, viz., by colluddn between the prize-holder and any artist amongst the exhibitors; who might be found base enough to join with him to convert the prize into a money pay men t t o b t ; shared between the two parties—the picture selected being returned to the painter, in addition to his share of the money paid to him by the society as its value; thus giving to the proceedings of the Art-Union all the objectionable features of the old lotteries, making it a medium for mere gambling speculations, and frus trating those great and important objects for which alone it was established, and in consideration of the existence of such societies can alone be tolera -511. The attempt to which we here allude is described Lin the two letters which the society have published, Mid which we here print from their catalogue. The Com mitttee say that they "reluctantly feel themselves compelled to publish the following letters; but, while strongly reprobating the unworthy attempts there de tailed, they wish to exempt from any suspicion of collusion the artist whose picture was finally selected as Mr. Saunders's prize :" " 11, Argyll-place, August 20, 1844. " Dear Sir—By the wish of my friend, Mr. Hollins, A.R.A., I beg to trouble you with the following state ment connected with the objects of the Art-Union, Mr. Hollins being too unwell to write clearly at present. " Towards the close of last waelt, a person calling himself the agent of a Mr. Saunders, of Barton-utton- Trent, waited on Mr. Hollins with the object of pur chasing a picture of his, now in the Royal Academy, valued at two hundred guineas, for Mr. Saunders, who had obtained a prize of that amount at the late distri bution, and offered to select that picture, if Mr. Hollins would agree to purchase the picture again at a lets price, 1751 or so; as the prize -holder preferred having the money to a picture. Mr. Hollins, by this arrange ment would have received about 35L and have kept his picture, and Mr. Saunders have pocketed 175/. of the Art-Union money. " Mr. Hollins, of course, declined this arrangement ; and, as ha has no doubt you will agree with him that such a perversion of the funds should be avoided if pos sible, this information he trusts will enable you to see that the money is bona fide laid out in the purchase of a picture by Mr. Saunders. " Mr. Hollins is confined to his house, 47, Berners street ; but will give any information you may require, and be happy to see you or Mr. Pocock, if you would favour him with a call. " The party hinted that their proposed arrangement ' could be carried out with other parties. "Believe me, dear sir, your, very truly, " Geo. Godwin, Esq. " J. J. SCOLES." " 6, Southampton-street, Fitzroy-square, Aug. 92. " Gentlemen,—On Friday evening two gentlemen called on Mr. Claxton, who is at present in the Isle o$ Wight, and finding he was from home, requested to see me, when they introduced themselves by saying th a t a friend of theirs in the country had gained one of the 2001. prizes in the Art-Union, and had commissioned them to choose the pi c ture, and then to propose to the artist that he should give them some part of th e p r i ce, which ho only could receive from the secretaries of the Society. I wished them much to write to Mr. Claxton, but they declined to do so, and also to leave their name, saying if I would write they would call for his ansver on Tuesday evening, and if he would mention how much of the price he would return them, they would then tell him how much they required ; but if he %- fused, they would select another picture, and endeavour to make the same arrangement with another artist. I received an answer from Mr. Claxton on Monday morn ing, in which he says, Should those gentlemen return, you must tell them that I refuse their offer most deci dedly, as they must know that, by accepting it, I should be defrauding the Society, and disgracing my profession.! " I believe Mr. Caxton intends writing to you himself, but be may be prevented for a few days ; and as the gentlemen have not returned for Mr. Cax ton's answer, I have been advised to inform you immediately, as there may be some regulations of the Society which provide for such an occasion.—l have the honour to be, gentle men, your respectfully, " SOPHIA CLAXTON.

An inquest was held before Mr. Payne, on Satur day evening, at the Tower of London Tavern, Tower street, Waterloo-road, on the body of Mr. Thomas Noy, aged fifty-two, late a clerk in the Army Dis trict Pay-office, Duke-street, Westminster, who com mitted suicide on Friday morning, by hanging him self in his bedroom, under the following distressing circumstances : Police-constable 177 L stated that he was celled is about nine o'clock on Friday morning, and found the deceased hanging by a rope behind the bedroom door. He immediately cut him down, and sent a brother officer for Mr. Sewell, surgeon, upon whose arrival, in about two minutes, life was quite extinct. Mary Noy (daughter of deceased) said her father had been very law spirited for some days. He was indebted to the landlord for rent to the amount of 71. 19s. 6d., who had threatened him to distrain on his goods, unless a portion of the money was paid on Friday. Deceased had recently been discharged from his situation ; but it appeared from the evidence of a clerk in the Recruiting Department, that hopes had been held out to him of a re-appointment, and he had received his salary up to the 30th of the pre sent month. The police, on searching his room, found two lett. ters, written in pencil, one addressed to the c oroner, the other to Mr. Legge, his landlord , of wh ich the following are copies : " 14th August, 1844. ' Mr. Coroner—l am in my perfect se nses, there fore there is no occasion for a jury. I wish yo u t o send my body to Westminster Hospital, if in y our , power; for I received good treat ment f rom that in, stitution about twelve months since, and I have no other legacy to leave them. Pray comply with my wishes if in your power, " Sept. 14; ,)0 " THOMAS NOY." minutes to Six, A.M. " Mr. Legge—You see what your precipitancy has brought on. Did you thi nk I would see a broker in No, never. 1 Had you waited a few my place ? weeks everything would have been settled, but your avarice and miserly propensities are well known to me. Do not touch an article of Mrs. Gibb's things, as you value the curse of a dying man. Her rent is paid to me to the 20th of August last, and when her daughter tomes from the country she will pay you what is due from that time. I shall lay the same in veterate curse on you if you touch any article that belongs to Mary in her own right, such as clothes, boxes, &c. " THOMAS NOY." " There will be sufficient of my property to pay you, and a surplus to hand over, as, according to law, there is one-and-a-half year's interest too mach charged in your account." It appeared that a portion of Mr. Legge's debt was for money lent at at 7} per cent. interest. The jury returned a verdict, "That deceased com mitted suicide while in a state of temporary insanity." The contemplated alliance between Lord Loftus, eldest son of the Marquis of Ely, and Miss Hope . : Vere, daughter of Lady Elizabeth Hope Vere, and niece to Lieut.-General the Marquis of Tweeddale, Governor.of Madras, is expected to be solemnised at the close Of the ensuing month, when the noble bride elect will have ar rived with the Marquis and Marchioness of Douro from the Continent. i;e 4l tb• ;art- A. of Hof
