THE RaoIIT HON. HENRY GOULDURN, M.P. for the
University of Cambridge, died at Beechworth-house,
Dorking, on Saturday last. The deceased was born
in 1784, educated at Cambridge, and entered the
house in 1808 for Horsham. In 1810 Mr. Goulburn
was made Under Home Secretary under the Ministry
of the Duke of Portland and Mr. Perceval. At the ge-
neral election in 1812, Mr. Goulburn was returned for
St. Germains, and appointed Under Colonial Secre.
tary, an office be held up to 1821, when he accepted
the post of Chief Secretary for Ireland and a Privy
Councillorship. In 1818, St. Germains being dis-
franchised, Mr. Goulburn was returned for West
Love, and sat for Armagh from 1826 to 1831. In
1828 the Duke of Wellington selected Mr. Goulburn
as his Chancellor of the Exchequer, an office he held
till January, 1830. In 1831, Mr. Goulburn, after a
severe contest, was returned for Cambridge, and up
to his death continued, though not unopposed, to re-
preAent that University. On the formation of Sir
Robert Peel's first Ministry in December, 1834, Mr.
Goulburn was appointed Home Secretary, which
office he held till the Administration broke up in
April following. When Sir Robert Peel was again
called upon, in September, 1841, to take office, he
selected Mr. Goulburn for his Chancellor of the
Exchequer. In the summer of 1846 the right hon.
gentleman retired with the late Sir Robert Peel, and
since that date to his death, though affording Lord
Aberdeen au independent support, Mr. Goulburn
took no active part in politics.

MR. PALMER'S STUD of brood mares, horses in
training, and yearlings, was put up to auction by
Messrs. Tattersall on Monday at " the Corner," and
attracted so large an attendance of company that the
saleyard was completely crowded. Many of the
leading patrons of the turf and most of the trainers
from the north and south of England were present.
Competition was sustained with much spirit, and
high prices were realised. In the aggregate the sale
amounted to 3,9061. Major Grove, her Majesty's
commissioner from the royal paddocks, bought Trick-
stress for 230 guineas, Mr. F. L. Popham purchasing
Nettle for 430 guineas. The Chicken was" knocked
down" for eight hundred guineas ; the first bid was
three hundred, and Mr. H. Hill spiritedly advanced
the price until he reached 780 guineas, when he
stopped. The horse was ultimately sold to Mr. Her-
lock, who, it was understood, bought him for a " noble
lord." For the three-year-old filly by Melbourne out
of Seaweed Mr. Sargent gave 590 guineas. Stafford-
shire Nan was purchased for three hundred guineas,
and Mr. Padwick becomes the owner of a promising
yearling colt by Touchstone—Duchess of Kent, for
230 guineas, and a filly by Touchstone—Maid of
Lyme, for 250 guineas.
