v.' DEATH O' BARON BRUNNOW.'
119tJ1ti t)ti.l E
We regret to announce the death of tilt° distinguished
diplomatist and statesman, Baron Brunnowi who ,
on Sunday night at his residence at Darrbstadt.
' Philip, Baron Brunnow, was born at Dresden in
1796, so that he had just entered his 79th year.
He entered the Russian Diplomatic servi6e in 1818,
at the time of the congress at Aix-la Chapelle.
Count Capo d'lstria formed a high opinion of his
abilities; and entrusted to him and Counsellor
Sturdza the task of compiling a civil code, for
the government of the Rouman population of
Bessarabia, then a recent conquest. He waisted as Secre-
tary to the Embassy at the congresses of Troppau,
Laybach, and Verona. He first visited London in
1820, on being appointed Secretary to the Embassy, a
post vtrhich he held till 1823. After his return to
Russia he attached himself to the staff of General
Woronzow, governor of Odessa, with whom he made
two campaigns against the Turks. Count Nesselrode
entertained the highest opinion of his talents, and
showed his confidence by placing him at the head of
his (Count Nesselrode's own chancellerie, and the
, celebrated answer of the Russian Cabinet to the
, Anglo-French,remonstrance at the Treaty of Unkiar-
Skelessi in 1.832, ;has always been attributed to Baron
.Brunnow. • " 1840 he came over to England
to settle the Belgian question, Baron Nieuman
rrepresenting Austria. On his Excellency Count Pozzo
'di Borgo resigning his post as Russian Ambassador
at the Court of St. James's, he was succeeded by
Baron Brunnow, as Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary, which post he filled up to;
1854. He was instrumental in carrying out the
masterly treaty of the 15th July, 1840, on thti:
Eastern question, which united England, Russia“
Prussia, and Austria against France. He continued t 4,,
preserve the most friendly relations between Russia and.
England till shortly before the diplomatic complica-`
tions which preceded the Crimean war, when he quitted
England for Berlin. He returned to England in
1858 as ambassador, and only relinquished that high
diplomatic post in July last. On leaving England, he
, went to his own residence at Darmstadt, where he had
since lived in the closest retirement. A few years ago,
in recognition of his diplomatic services, he was created
a count of the Russian Empire by the Emperor
Alexander, and had been decorated with several orders
of knighthood. The Baroness Brunnow, who had
rendered herself so popular in society by carrying out
the hospitalities of the Russian Embassy, pre -deceased

• METROPOLITAN CAM.S MARKET.-MONDAY. mra
The total imports of foreign stock into London last week
amounted to 21,809 head; in the corresponding week in 1874 "..
we received 11,809 ; in 1878, 7,690 : in 1872, 15,844; In 1871,-
8,699 ; and in 1870, 8,306 head. The cattle trade remains t4l
much in the same position. The supplies have been rather.

more liberal, but the condition rather various. From our '-
own grazing districts the receipts of beasts have been • $
tolerably good. Prime breeds have been comparatively
scarce, and with a fair demand quotations for such
has been firm-the best Scots and crosses selling at :I
ss. Bd. to bs. 11d. per 81b. In other respects the market has
been unsettled. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam- r
brldgeshire we have received about I,f 00, from other parts of
England about 500, and from Scotland .65. On the foreign
side of the market supplies of beasts have been rather more
liberal, including some 300 Danish, 200 Spanish, and 35e
Dutch. The demand has been slow, at about late rates.
Full average supplies of sheep have been in the pens. Al-
though not active the trade has been rather firmer, and for
the choicest breeds somewhat more money has occasionally
been paid. The best Downs and hall-breds with wool have
sold at 6s. Bd. to 6s. 10d., and ditto clipped Si. 10d. to 6e. per
