DILATE 07 TB! C0L:771.58 ORANVILLC.—We deeply
regret to announce the death of the Countess Granville,
the apparent improvement in whose health was
described only Monday. This must have been only
a rally of the constitution before death, though it
deceived all who were about her into the impression
that she vu no longer in immediate claugcr. The
melancholy event occurred on Tuesday night, shortly
after 12 o'clock, at Royal•creseent, Brighton. The
late Countess has been for the past eight inontht in
declining health, and the Duchess of Heiberg, her
mother, and Sir John Acton, her son, were summoned
to Brighton some time ago in consequence of her
precarious condition. The deceased, Marie Louise,
Countess Granville, was the only child and heir of
Euieric Joseph Duke of Heiberg, and we believe, in her
49th year. She married in IEO3 Sir Francis Richard
Edward Acton, by whom, who died on the 31st of
January, 1837, her ladyship had an only son, Sir J. E.
E. Acton, M.P. for Carlow. Her ladyship married
secondly, in 1840, Earl Granville, then Viscount
Leveson, and settled in England, where she had ever
since been one of the most brilliant ornaments of London
society. Her loss will be deeply regretted by a very
large circle of friends of all nations and of all classes, to
whom her unaffected kindness, her genial wit and
unwearied hospitality, had endeared her.
The Queen left London for Osborne on Thursday
week.

THE LATE BURGLARY AT THE POET OPTICS.—
Frederick Joitn.gon, who is supposed to have been
concerned in the recent burglary at the Post Office,
pleaded guilty at the Devonshire Assizes, last week,
to several burglaries in that county. The learned
judge, in passing sentence, said, from what he had
heard, the prisoner appeared to be in request in
several places, and if he were to piss a light sentence
he would only be subjected to indictments for similar
offences in other counties. The sentence of the court
was that he be kept in penal servitude for five years
ARTILLERY Conn.—The two 24-pounders have
been brought up from the harbour to Mr. Cornick's

It is expected that the undress uniform—blue, with
scarlet facings, and white piping—will be ready by the
end of the present month, and that about the 30th
the corps will make their first appearance in public in
uniform. The guns for the permanent use of the
corps at the harbour will be 0.-pounders„ three in
number; and two mortars will also be supplied with
them.

AUSTRIA.

It is stated that, although declaring an intention to
maintain a purism attitude if the Emperor Napoleon
persists in the realisation of his wish for the annexa-
tion of Savoy, Austria has nevertheless informed the
Court of the Tuileries that if ever the Rhine frontier
should be menaced, the Emperor Francis Joseph would
immediately unite with Prussia for the protection of the
territorial integrity of the Germanic Confederation.
In apprehension of military complications, it has been
decided to recall the men on furlough, notwithstanding
the burden which such a step will impose on the Tree-

wry.
The semi-official DonauZeitittig polishes an article on
the " real meaning" of universal suffrage, which says :
!' Universal uiffrage is only granted to the people to do
whatever the predominant party might by intimidation
tome upon them. By this way, Italy is neither obtain-
ing stability for the future, nor is Europe recovering
the feeling of wicurity which is now wanting."
The Austrian Government has been taking measures
to relieve the Croats, who are suffering from scarcity
owing to abort crops. In addition to donations from the
Royal ',tinily, the Emperor has ordered a loan of 30,000
florins shall be advanced to the sufferers, which sum is
to be repaid in Ix yearly instalments.

_County Express awl

A gncull ur al Gazette.

SIR,--1 find in your valuable paper a request from,
"Ratepayer 'that! should give the town some further
particulars regarding my plan for saving the greater
part of the proposed outlay in placinf the pumps
where they ought to have been in the hrst instance
(five feet lower in the well.) In compliance with
this request, I beg to say that there would be no
difficulty whatever in carrying out my plan; and it
might be done in this way :—First, pump out the
well, and keep the steam up, so as to be able to
repeat this when necessary; then fix the stage for
receiving the pumps and lead shaft at the depth re-
quired ; this being done, proceed with the bottom of
the shaft, the lead being carried down in pieces. If
any difficulty should arise in the soldering, at so
great a distance from the fire, the whole may be
nvetecl together, allowing the suction-pipe to Foes
through the shaft for the present. The shape of ths
shaft must be such as to admit a man down the side
of it, to descend into the well when required. This
being finished, and the lead continued to a few inches
above the highest water level, the suction-pips may
be plugged at the bottom, and lowered through the
shaft to the depth required; the whole now being
water-tight, the pumps may be fixed within the shalt
at pleasure, without any interruption from water,
and no further expense beyond &little labour and the
extra length of pipe and rods.
Any common plumber can do this, (say W. George),
or such a man as that, and I will venture to say the
paving will be more than 75 per cent
I shall be happy to give any further explanation if
required.

PRUSSIA.

The telegraphic intelligence from Berlin denies that
Prussia will make the imnexation of Savoy to France a
cants &elk strongly as the disapproves of it. Prussia
will pronounce her disapproval, and make the necessary
reservations against further applications dutch a danger-
oua practice. Moreover, she will back Switaerland in
her rights, as guaranteed by treaty, if Switserland insists
upon them.
The committee of the German National Association
assembled at Berlin is about to publish an energetic de-
claration against the theory of natural boundaries and
the annexation of Savoy to France, stating therein that
Germany will be strongly united in future times of
danger.
The most important step in the enfranchisement of
the Prussian press has received the consent of the Land-
tag. Printers' licenses cannot ony longer be taken away
by administrative bet only by judicial decisions. What
remains to be done is that printers' licenses be abolished
altogether. For the rest the Prussian press may now be
considered free.

TUESDAY.

On moviii2' that certain papers relating to the affairs
of Italy be laid on the table.
Lord J. In:sm.:id. entered into an explanation of the
conduct of the Government in relation to those affairs.
He began by representing the state in which the .luca-
tion of Savoy and Nice had been left by the late Ad-
ministration. and proceeded to vi.clicate the present
Government from the accusation that they had pursued
a policy which, by promoting the annexation of the
Romagna and Tnrcany to Sardinia, Lid a groand for
that of Savoy to France. This accusation was founded,
he said, upon an entire misapprelien; . Their policy
had been to endeavour, by negotiation. to secure to the
Italian people the power of managing their own affairs.
He then explained the communic..titios which had taken
place on the subject of certaii: promo:ea combinations for
the re4toration of the Grand Duke of Tuscany. and the
establishment of a kingdom of Central Italy. The British
Government, he observed, were not hostile to either;

Cultic anb Commute.

LEEDS, March 13.—The market in the cloth•halls to
day has been a a quiet character. There was scarcely
a full ge attendance of buyers, nor were many large
purchases made, but the tone of the trade is cheerful
and prices are firm. Light fabrics are the most in
demand. Tile clothiers are muscly well employed, but
some of the dressers are rather slack. Wool continues
very firm in price.

13th.--The tone of the market to-day
is manifestly more depressed than at any time last
week. The continued absence of anything like a fair
demand for either goods or yarns has a very discouraging
effect, and though prices are, of course, sustained
as before by the existence of previous contracts, there
is a inuch less firm appearance than fur some time
post.

RUCHDALII, 12th.—There haa been • good demand
for wool to-day. especially fur skin kinds, and fully
last week's prices have been obtained. There was a
rather quiet insrket fur flannels, but where manatee.
lure rs would make any abatement from the topmost
prams asked, purchases were made. For Yoritshiry
dennels there is • good demand, and prim are .nu.
The manufacturers are well employed.

STARTLING PRICSONINON. The correspondent of
the Saunders News Letter, writing from Drogheda,
Mari* 12, says:—" On Saturday night last a pheno-
menon oecurrod over this town which for some time
struck with the deepest terror those who happened to
be outside doors. The moon shone out clearly, the
atmosphere was cam, and the sky was dotted over with
stars, when, about nine o'clock, • rumbling noise was
hsaril above, and suddenly the heavens seemed to cleave
asunder, when a ball of fire, the most brilliant that
fancy could imagine, rolled along the blue vault, and
appeared to descend with the most fearful rapidity.
For a few seconds the entire town was lighted up so
intensly that many females shrieked, some fainted, and
others ran off the streets, breathless and in the greatest
trepidation into the nearest shops. Anything of the
kind was never known here before. It was • length of
time before parties who had sought refuge in their fright
Gould be persuaded to return to their homes."
Pains' reresa PAINON.—At the Mayo MAIM, on
Monday, the Rev. Mr. Goodison, a Protestant clergy-
man, was indicted for a eouinvin assault on Father
Lavelle, at Tourmakeady, on the s:h of October last.
The particulars of this curious ease were published in
the journals at the time. The plantiff accused the
defendant of awaiting him on the high road in an
offensive manner, and then threatening to shoot him.
The defendant's version of the came was materially
different. However, the local magistrates accepted the
story of the priest and ignored that of the parson. On
Monday counsel for the defendant applied to have the
ease removed to the Queen's Bench, which after some
discussion, was granted.

PEWSET VALE STEEPLE CHASM —lt has, we un-
derstand, been determined to run the Pewsey Vale
Steeple Chases in the same locality, and over nearly
the same ground, as they were run last year and the
year before. It was at first rumoured that the scene
of action would, on this occasion, be removed out of
the parish of Bishop's Cannings—a change which
would not, probably, have been for the better, in a
sporting point of view, considering that the Bishop's
Cannings country is not only well adapted for test-
ing the hunting capabilities of horses, but also of
affording a good view to spectators; and we may
therefore congratulate our friends who are fond of
seeing equestrian exploits across country, that they
will, on the 10th of April, have an opportunity of
witnessing a repitition of the chase, over nearly the
same meadows and the same fences that furnished
such capital sport last spring. There will be three
races, as before; and from what we hear there
seems little doubt that all three will be well filled. ,

main.r.—Last week the bones of a human being were

of Dr. Thurnham. That gentleman considers that
the spot where they were found, just on the edge of
the Down, may have been a very early Christian
burial-place, and that the remains are those of a
young female, scarcely perhaps full-grown, who
, lived in Saxon times.

AGRICULTURAL EXPENSES AND

PROFITS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIM.
Sir,—The recent announcement in your columns that
I have been making • fair farming profit during ths
last six years, and that even now, in spit* Of low Priam.
I have no reason to complain, has caused quits • storm
of angry excitement and disbelief among that
doss of farmers whose landlords have failed to 12:
improvements, or who themselves have not partioiP"
in the race of agricultural program. In order to allay
their indignation, amounting in several batsman to
gross personal abuse and imputation, will you permit
we to gratify their desire for detailed information by
publishing in your columns • bond jkli balance-chest of
my last year's production and expenditure?
I am quite sure that many very intelligent and
sensible agriculturists do not look upon the question of
my farming as • personal one, but rather watch it as a
, severe test of a great principle—viz., whether • very
large investment on the part of both landlord and
tenant in improvenients will insure enlarged profits as
well as increased production.
My experience has taught me that this is the only
mode by which we can meet free-trade prices, and coin-
, !tete successfully with foreign nations.
apprehend that no one will now have the hardihood
to question the extent of my productions, for my f anu
I has been long enough, and I trust liberally enough,
exposed to the general agricultural gait and estimate.
I pledge myself to the correctness of the items in the
balauce-ohcet, which shows a gross return of £ll per

capital and labour could be found, would increase our
food returns trout £166,000,000, their present annual
value, to 1:550.000,000,—• happy, but distant, perspec-
tive for our multiplying millions !
To prevent any misrepresentation by interested
objectors, permit me to .ay that my balance-sheet are
teited by that unfailing proof, the amount of hard cull
which I withdraw annually from the farm without
; diminishing its working capital.
