DEATHS Or NOTE.

DEATH OF THE COUNTESS OBANVILLE.—We regret
to have to record the death of the Countess Granville,
mother of the Lord President of the Council. Her lady-
ehip aspired at her bowie in Hereford-street, Park-lane,
on Wednesday morning, shortly after five o'clock. The
late countess was the second daughter of William, fifth
Duke of Devonshire, and was ooneequently sister of
the late Countess of Carlisle and the late Duke of
Devonshire, She married, on the 24th December,lBo9,
Granville, first Fail, by whom she leaves Lady Susan,
married to Lord Rivers; Lady Georgians Fullerton,
wife of Mr. Alexander Fullerton, of Ballantry, County
Antrim ; George, the present Earl Granville ; and the
Hon. E. F. Leveson Gower, M.P. Her ladyship was in
her 78th year.
DEATH OF THE MOTHER OP CARDINAL Airrolvata,r..
—A letter from Rome in the Corriere Mercantile of
Genoa, says i—The mother of Cardinal Antonelli is just
dead at the age of 90. She was born at Sonnino, and,
I as is well-known, was S relative of the brigands who in
the beginning of this century, and down to the year
1820, infested the province. She never reconciled her-
self to life in Rome and was always talking of Sonnino.
She detested the splendid carriage which her son kept
for her, and her delight was, whenever she could get
an opportunity, to take a ride in a market cart from
the country, She leaves no fortune beyond the two
hundred crowns which constituted her original marriage
portion.
Dear,/ OP THE Ray. N. MACILZOD, D.D., OF Sr.
COLUMBA CHURCH.—EarIy on Tuesday morning died,
at Maoris house in West Nile-street, surrounded by
his fatally and some of his other near relatives, the Rev.
Dr. Norman Macleod, the reveredpaator of St. Columba
parish, in the seventy-ninth year of his age, and the
fifty-fourth of his ministry. This intimation will fall
upon the public at large is the sadden intelligenoe of a
loss they have individually sustained for although the
deceased had been laid aside from active duty for a few
years past, yet he was reinembred by middle-aged and ,
elderly people in Glasgow as amongst the brightest and
steadiest light of the Established Church, and as a
clergyman who long did noble service in behalf of his
fellow-citizens and Celtic countrymen.
DEATH OF DR. BERNARD.—We have learned with
regret that will be widely shared the death of the
well-known French reftigee, whose trial for conspiracy
against the life of the Emperor Louis Napoleon was an
event in the history of both countries. The unhappy ,
gentleman has for many months been suffering under a '
malady of the brain, which terminated fatally on
Tuesday night, in the forty-sixth year of his age.

officers by the demise of Admiral Sir Charles Sullivan,
Bart, which occurred on Monday at his residence near I
Thames Ditton. The deceased admiral entered the I
navy in February, 1801, as first-class volunteer, and
saw much service. He succeeded to the baronetcy, on
the death of his elder brother, who fell during the

many gallant fellows of his regiment, the Ist Foot I

the first Earl of Beverley, and married in 1795 the I
third Earl of Aahburnham, who died in 1830.
DEATH 010 Miss JANE PARR, OP PRESTON. This
estimible lady has at length fallen a martyr to her in-
cessant labours in behalf of the sick and needy. Miss
°Parr was the originator of the sick kitchen and sewing
schools, and was daily at her post, working indefatigably
from nine in the morning until six in the evening, with
a zeal and assiduity which was the astonishment of all,
and persisted in her humane exertions even when urged
by her friends to take repose. Her answer on such
occasions was " I will when this crisis is over." A
fortnight ago she complained of great weakness and
sore throat, and on the next day found herself unable
to walk to the labours in which she took so much in-
terest, but in a cab (continued to pay her accustomed
visits to the fever-stricken and distressed, after the
conclusion of her clay's labours at the sick kitchen
and sewing class. In the evening she went to the
vicarage and sent for her medical attendant, but she
never again left her room.
