The deceased Peer was one of two twins ; he never possessed a robust n onstitution, and he did not att a i n ' a vary advanced period of life. His Grace was born on th e 17 t h of April, 178.5, and at the time of his d ea th h a d, t h ere f ore, , not completed his sixty-second year. At a very early age the Duke, then hearing the courtesy-title of Earl Percy, went to St. John's College, Cambridge, where he took the de gree of A.M. in 1803, and that of LL.D. in 1809. Eery reader will be -prepared to learn that a man of his rank obtained a seat in the. House of Commons iinme ii s undeviating wa s tomai diately on hi s • a ttai n i ng su ffi c i ent age to qualify him for that trust. B uc ki ngham was the first place whidh had the honour o f b e i ng represented by the future Duke of Northumb er l an d . As a p ditician he enjoyed all the merits of consi stent} ntain the ; he e s be et g a l ed ia lifeas a supporter of the Protestant constitution, and every vote and wish of constitutionhid of a th ild ese a realms as it existed when his own political career commenced; he was, however, by no means indifferent tosocial ameliorations ; the poor on his own estates were carefully provided for, and his sympathies with suffering humanity even extended to the African negro ; for we find that his maiden speech, delivered in the House of Commons on the 2d of February, 1806, was for theaort' that of an ea rnest advocate b •ion of the e slave trade. The death of Mr. Fox took place very soon after the lateDake entered the House otCommons,and that much laniented event created a vacancy in the representation of 'Westminster. which Lord Percy was elected to fill. As member for that most iniportant city he continued to sit only till the next general election. To the surprise of the quidnuncs, he did not again present himself to the constituency of Westminster. but came iu for, the borough of Launceston, where his family interest commanded a predominating influence. In •1807 he was returned without any contest for the county of Nor thumberland, and continued to be its representative until very near the close of the Perceval Administration. It was on the 17th of March, 1812, five years b e f ore t h e death of his father, that Lord Percy was summoned by writ to the Upper House. The records of the representative branch' of the Legislatere present no striking evidences of his industry as a politician or his talents as a statesman. He was a man whose intellect and attainments procured for him a very moderate degree of respect, and nothing could be more ob vious than that if he had not been "born great" he was not very likely to have " achieved greatness." When the sub ject of this 'memoir wasayoung man the -dread** foreign. invasion led to a very extensive armament of yeomanry and volunteers. The s • force which bore the desig nation of the Percy tenantry deserved to be called almost •an army. ft comprehended a body of horse artillery, • six troops of cavalry, and seventeen compa nies of infantry, which were clothed, appointed, and main tained at the expense of the second Duke. The command of this force was entrusted to the then Lord Percy. That he was popular with that corps will readily be supposed, and C.em is nothing very extraordinary in the fact, that on his el,vatii,n to the House of i'eers, the regiment of the Percy , eaantry presented him with a superb sword.

AlthJugh Lady Charlotte Clive, in due time Duchess of Northumberland,' was well born and well dowered, 3 et-there can be no doubt that for any lady in this land an alliance with the Lord of Aln wick Castle would he a signal advancement in life, for no man enjoyed higher titles, more superb residences, or finer estates. lie was to be Duke and Earl of Northumberland, Earl and Baron Percy, Baron Lucy, Poynings, Fitzpayne, Bryan, Latimer, and Warkworth. He was to be the owner of 7Alnwick, Warkworth, and Keilder Castles, in the county of Northumberland, of We rr i ng t on P ar k, in Cornwall, and of Sion House, in Middlesex. He was, through his maternal descent, the representative of the old Earls of Northumber land—of that Manfred, the Dane, who made irruptions into France in the ninth century, and whose posterity, settling in Normandy, took their name from the domain of Percy, in that province. William de Percy, with his brother Serie, accompanied William the Conqueror to Eng land, and obtained from that monarch a grant of 86 manors in Northumberland, and 32 in Lincolnshire, and of course became a baron. The ninth in succession from him was created Lord Percy of Alnwick, and the fourth Lord Percy was, at the coronation of Richard IL, advanced to the Earldom o f N ort h um b erland, with a barony in fee transmissible to heirs female as well as male. The eleventh Earl of Northumberland died without male issue in 1670 rho had an only daughter, who became his sole heiress, and she succeeded to the baronial honours only. The sixth Dake.of Somerset became her husband, and their eon, the seventh Duke of Somerset, having been summoned to Parliament as Baron Percy, was created Earl of Northumberland, with remainder, in case he had no m a l e i ssue , t o hi s son -i n -l aw , Sir Hugh Smithson, Bart., who had married his Grace's daughter, the Lady Elizabeth Seymour, and who in due course succeeded to the Earldom on the demise of the Duke in 1750, obtaining in the same year an Act of Parliament to allow himself and his Countess to assume the arms and name of Percy. His Lordship was created Duke of Northumberland on the 22d of October, 1766. The Stnithsons are an old Yorkshire family, the first baronet of the line receiving his title on the 2d of August, 1660. Hugh, ilte second Duke, eldest son of the first, married a sister of the Earl of Bute, by whom he had no family, and from whom he was divorced. Secondly, he espoused Frances Julia, third daughter of Peter Burrell, Esq., of Beckenham, in the county of Kent. These were the parents of the Noble - r Duke whose life and character now engage our attention. His twin sister was the Lady Agnes Percy, who married Colonel Buller, of Penlynt, iu Cornwall. On the 10th of July, 1817, the second Duke of the Smithson line paid th e debt of nature, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. The Noble Peer just deceased immediately . succeeded to the honours and estates, which he lived to enjoy daring the long period of thirty years. Of the House of Lords he *as by no means a distinguished member. He usually voted or gave hii proxy to the leader of the Tories for the time being; but he scarcely ever took any part in the business or delibera tions of Parliament. In the year 1825 Charles X. of France was crowned with all the splendour and gaiety which mark every public cere monial in that country. Upon this memorable occasion the Duke of Northumberland was appointed to represent the Majesty of England. The expenses of that " embassy extra ordinary" where wholly defrayed from the Duke's private purse; yet his superb equipages, and the magnificent array of his attendants quite outshone the splendour displayed by the Ministers of the Czar, or even by the representatives of the Imperial Crown of Austria. But it is said that our Duke could not utter a word of French, to the great horror of the Parisians, who scarcely believed that a man possessed any knowledge whatever who had neglected to cultivate their own polished dialect. Neither could they be taught to imagine that any subject of the British Crown possessed suf ficient wealth to render the expenses of such an embassy a matter of trifling consideration. The amount of his Grace's disbursements on this occasion may be estimated frOm. the fact that Parliatnent doted a sum of 10,000/. to pur chase a diamond-hilted sword as a present to his Grace, in order to mark their high sense of the manner in which he , bad maintained .-the -dignity' of 'his' , fA'airepeign at the French Court. In the year 1829 the Doke of Northumberland was selected by the Duke of Welling ton to succeed the Marquis of Anglesey in the office of Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland ; the Duke, of course, gave hie entire sanction to the Orange party, and was, therefoie, viewed with aversion by the Roman Catholics, but he pos sessed neither the talent nor the energy to make himself thuroughl, hated, and so he continued in a quiet sort of way to administer the . government of Ireland until Lord Grey became First Minister, when the Noble Marquis whom he had succeeded in turn replaced him. Although the Govern ment allowance to his Grace while Viceroy of Ireland was reduced by 7,0001. a year, yet the splendour of the Viceregal Court was rather increased than diminished daring his ad ministration. His Grace bad for some time before his death been labour ing under the effects of influenza, but no apprehension was entertained by his friends that the malady would terminate fatally. On Thursday morning, however, one of his atten dants entered his sleeping apartment at the usual hour, and, receiving no answer to his inquiries, became alarmed and called in others of the domestics, when it was discoveredthat the Duke (z ion%"nnt - bisither to the de ceased Duke, and who, until the year 1816, was know by the title of Lord Algernon Percy.— Times. PRICE OF BREAD AND FLOUR. During the present high price of all descriptions of provi sions it is important to ascertain whether the whole of the price paid for broad is justly due to the enhanced value of grain. For this purpose the following comparisons have been made with the prices in Paris. in which place, as is well known, the price of bread is fixed by law, according, to a scale varying with the value of flour :—The highest price of white wheat in Paris is 56f. per 1 hectolitre, which is equal to 85s. 6d. per quarter; and the highest price of wheat of the first quality in London being 80s. per quarter, it-follows that fine wheat is 61 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. The highest price of flour of the first quality in Paris is 62f. 45c. per 100 kilogrammes, which is equivalent to 625. 6d. nearly per sack of 2801 b. English weight; and the highest price of town-made flour in London being 655. per sack, it tollows that flour is 4 per cent. dearer in London r than.in Paris. The price fixed in Paris for bread of the firer loaf clt of is 51c. per kilogramme, which is equal to 8 3 / 1 1. p London at 41b. weight English; and the price of bread brea f d ull i - 6 p r r a i c t b e d e rba moree r s t b h e a i p u g 1 1 4 0 Id p p e e r r c4elnbt..

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the LORD Cm Er BAaort and Special Juries.) in the case of Webster v .West the record was withdrawn, and the cause did not therefore proceed to trial. BAlutit V. HAGGARD. In this cause, Mr. Charles Baker, the secretary to the Tours and Honfleur Railway, was the plaintiff, and Mr. James Haggard, a member of the provisional and managing cornmittess of the above-named railway, was the defendant. Mr. 0. Malley appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ogle fcr the defendant. The action was brought to recover of the defendant the sum of 931. bring the amount 44 salary due to the plaint iff f , r services performed on behalf of the Tours an,ll - 1-ufl-nr Railway, the plaintiff alleging that he was engaged At A salary of 3001. per annum to perf,rm the s,cret.v: to the company. It appeared that the present railway was one of that very numerous class called forth in the year '845, which w: re doomed to pass their brief hour on "change," seemingly for the purpose of raising delusive hopes of visionary premiums in the minds of the promoters, and adding a long list of causes to the already overcrowded lists of the ' courts of law and equity. In the present case, there being no evidence to show that the defendant had continued to act upon the provisional or managing coin mittee—(on the contrary, that he refused his consent to have his name placed in that ominous list)—or that he bad ever acted upon such committee, and the books of the company being in the possession of a Mr. Hop kins. a director of the company, who, in spite of all attempts to discover his " whereabouts," was declared to be still non est, and a number of witnesses having been called whose evidence bore in no degree whatever upon the contract between the parties, the counsel for the plaintiff said that he was sorry to say that the next person to be called was, he feared, the plaintiff himself. In this opinion the LORD CHIEF Balm; coincided, and the plaintiff having been thrice summoned to come forward to save his writ at nisi prius, and declining to do so, was non suited accordingly.

WHITTAKER. = This was a bill filed to set aside a contract, on the ground of mutual contract. It appeared that the defendant pur chased au estate for a term of eight years, and on a suppo sition that he was entitled to a ren-wal of his lease at the expiration of that period, laid out a large sum of money. The plaintiff's case was that there no specification to t e effect, and that the purchase was only the value of the pro perty for the term stated ; while on the part of the defendant it was alleged that in the proposal for the property he stated that if there was any mistake afterwards in reterence to the contract, that there should be compensation on an estimate agreed to by both parties. The arguments were concluded to-day, and His HoNoun delivered judgment. This was a matter to which no case of specific performance of contract could apply. The only question was as to what the vendor in tended to sell, and what the purchaser intended to purchase. It appeared that the property in question was put up far public auction, and the advertisement stated that it would be sold for under a lease of twenty years. The property was not disposed of by public sale, and the defendant purchased it for a sum of 3001. The provision he made in reference to any mistake occurring was not certainly embodied in the deed of conveyance, but, considering the advertisetym a ' - ; the purchaser was now d ea d, an d could affo- - ' n and that the discovery res p ec ti np o---untract was not .e -scinded. made for a long time afte r his ')--11Ise ' he thought it was an m .hat the contract should not be re- The Bill was dismissed with costs. The other business of the Court was of ni? general interest. PETITIONS ON PRIVATE BILLS. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS DAY.) (Room 22, before Mr. Examiner Sairrii.)

We understand tbat a meeting of noblemen and gentlemen connected with the Highlands and Islands, assembled at 18, Parliament-street, on Wednesday last, the 10th instant, for the purpose of considering the expediency of applying to the Government on some points in which the population of these districts of the kingdom are at present deeply interested. A deputation from this meeting, consisting of the Marquis of Northampton, Mr. James Matheson, M.P., The Chisholm, Mr. H. Beillie, M.P., Mr. Frederick Dundas, M.P., Mr. Maclean, of Coll; the Reverend Dr. Macleod, of Glasgow; Mr. Hugh Innes Cameron, and Mr. George Bain, Hon. Secretary of the Highland Society of London, waited yesterday, by appointment, or. Sir George Grey, and were most courteously received. They submitted to Sir George the expediency (1) of Government aiding proprietors in the High lands and Islands by a loan, for the purchase of seed for the smaller tenantry; (2) the affording aid to local relief com mittees in supplement of the subscriptions and collections obtained from private sources; and (3) the desirableness of having a depOt ship or ships on the eastern coast, for the purpose of allaying the apprehensions of the people in the north-eastern counties of Scotland, that there will not be a supply of food procurable through ut the spring and summer, and the fears of which have occasioned dis turbances and riots along the whole of the east (., Tit deputation submitted to Sir George t bat suet the last would effectually, they believe the people, and be the most econot view, the most humane mode of r( mert mike a 17; t t fears [ence among them. On,the {Scat point (the givirg a lan 1.1 'the purchase of 'seca) Sir'du , rge stated, that he thought no s•uch aid. would' be required-trorn-tbe'Oovernment, as he underatood the central committee in Edinburgh were directing their special attention to it ; and, moreover, that the required accommodation would, probably, be obtained from the Scotch banks ; and also, that it would be very inexpedient for the Government to hold out any expf:ctation of aid in this particular, as this would naturally, and very probably, lead to improvidence on the part of the people in the consumption of the stores they might otherwise preserve for seed. On the second matter (the affording of aid to local relief committees), Sir George stated that the conduct of the Scotch proprietors and people generally had been so exceedingly praiseworthy, that he was very averse to giving what might be considered an ungracious answer to this request, but, that hitherto such aid had not been afforded generally, and it was hoped that it' might not be generally required. In two special instances the Government had given some help to local committees, and _thev . pre from parti pared to consider_„..Aeeeding such assistance, though cular 12iAiSt depend entirely on its own circumstances. gut that, as a general rule, the Govcrom—f ingly unwilling to encourage such applications or expecta tions, as they much feared that the result eventually would only be injurious to the people by tending to pauperise them, and to lower the feelings of self .dependence which new distinguished, he was happy to say, the Northern population. On the third point (the proposal to establish a Government depot on'the east coast), Sir George stated, that the expor tation of food from that quarter clearly proved there was no scarcity there, and, therefore, it would be inconsistent with the rules of the Government, and the motives which led to the establishment of depots on the west coast, to send a ship to the east. It was urged in reply, that although wheat, and cattle, and live stock were exported from the east coast, these do not constitute the food of the poorer classes. Sir George, however, would not hold out any expectation that any depot would be established by the Government on the east coast. MR. COCHRANE and the ELECTORS OF WESTMINSTER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—As an elector of Westminster allow me to ask, whether the Mr. Charles Cochrane,• who now so ostenta tiously parades his pretensions to represent Westminster, is the same person as one Senor Juan de Ve,:a, who some few years back published a journal of a tour through Great Britain and. Ireland, and who then paraded a series of adven tures in various towns and places at which modesty and de cency felt ashamed, and whose public avowal signallyproved the want of good taste and common propriety in the writer. If they be one and the same person, the electors of West minster ought to know it. If not, Mr. Cochrane cannot too soon disown the identity.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, St. James's, Feb. 12.
