THE sudden and unexpected death of CAPTAIN
DICKENSON, so well known in connection with Oa
Thetis, took place on Sunday night, at Greenwich .
Only a few days since Admiral Walcott brought his
claim to a salvage of 600,000 dollars before the House
of Commons. His services were of a remarkable
character. Hampshire by birth, he entered the navy
in 1796 as a third-class boy, and was at the taking of
St. Lucia and Trinidad. He next served in the
Dreadnought. At the battle of Trafalgar he served
under Collingwood, who was so pleased with his con-
duct that he was the first officer whom he promoted
to the rank of lieutenant. He subsequently served
in other affairs, and was presented with numerous
rewards, as well for bravery as for skill in naval
tactics. He was a member of several scientific insti-
tutions, and received the Vulcan gold medal for the
application of percussion-caps to naval gunnery.
He had a pension of 1501. per annum for wounds
received in action. This pension, and an appo
ment as resident captain at Greenwich Hospital, fall
into hand by the decease of Captain Dickenson.
The VERY REV. RICHARD MURRAY, Dean of Ar-
dagh, one of the most zealous clergymen of the
Established Church in Ireland, has died in Ireland
after a brief illness. The deceased was a powerful
preacher and an accomplished writer. He was the
author of the history of religion in the sister island,
entitled " Ireland and her Church." The value of
the deanery is 4501. a year. At the last meeting of
the Protestant Association of Dublin, held on Tues-
day, the Rev. Dr. Gregg thus alluded to the event,
the late dean having been one of the vice-presidents
of the society:—" Most deeply did he regret the less
of that beloved and enlightened dignitary of their
Church. To him they were indebted for one of the
most valuable histories of the Church of Ireland in
existence. He was a man of heartfelt piety and
heart-devoted faithfulness. The Church of Ireland
never had a more faithful son—lreland a more de-
voted patriot—nor the Christian religion a more
pious believer."
The death of the HON. and REV. FRANCIS Jaiiss
NoEL, MA., a son of the late Earl of Ciaiosborought

took p Buxton, on the 30th ult. Mr. Noel was
born in 1705. In 1818 he was admitted into holy
orders, and in 1820 was presented to the vicarages of
Tested and Nettlestead, near Maidstone, both of
which he held up to the time of his death. The
benefices now rendered vacant are worth about 7001.
a year, and are in the gift of the present earl. By a
recent act of Parliament they cannot be again held
together by the same person.
H. A. AOLIONBY, Esq., M.P. for Cockermouth, died
on Monday last. The deceased was chairman of the
East Indian Railway Company.

ESPARTERO IN MADRID.
THE triumphant entry of General Espartero into
Madrid is thus graphically described by a letter
from that capital, of the 30th ult., published in the
Morning Post.
" At last all apprehensions, doubts, mistrusts. are at an
end. The Duque de Vittoria has made his triumphal
entry into the capital. It certainly must be granted that
never had subject a more brilliant reception. He entered
Madrid, not as conqueror, but as pacificator ; and how great
must be the prestige attaching to his name, when his en-
trance into the city is at once the signal for all the shops
to reopen, and the whole population to make their ap
pearance. As he drove up the magnificent Calle de Alcala-
henceforth to be called Calle del Duque de la Vittoria, it,
was not possible to mistake the joy with which his presence
was greeted, and the confidence which the people place in
his administration of public affairs.
"Yesterday evening a notice was posted up informing
the Madrilenos that he was to pass the night at a village
about five leagues from Madrid, and would arrive early in
the morning. A great portion of the population could not
have gone to bed, for bands marched about the whole
night, playing Riego's Hymn, while crowds cheered vocife-
rously. So early as five o'clock this morning, about 8,000
persons went out two or three miles upon the road to meet
him, and by half-past six the whole population was in the
streets. For the first time since the three eventful days,
carriages appeared. Two or three royal carriages, in state
liveries, were sent to meet him. From every balcony
draperies of various colours were hung, some of them of
the richest velvet, fringed with gold. At the various
public offices and museums the Queen's picture was hung
up, under magnificent canopies, and surmounted with the
crown, and always, on each side of the Queen, were the
portraits of Espartero and O'Donnell.
" Precisely at eight o'clockclouds of duet in the distance
announced the general's approach. National Guards fell
into such line as they best could ; aides-de-camp clattered
up and down the streets ; the people broke through all
restraint, and from the city gates to the Gubernacion del
Regno, a distance of not less than a mile, there was one
dense mass of heads. The National Guards opened the
procession, followed by some few of the Aragonese, then
came the juntas, more nervous and fidgetty even than their
horses; these were followed by officers of all grades, and
every civilian who had plundered, begged, or borrowed a
sword ; then came the carriage of the great captain, sur-
rounded by squadrons of cavalry, who had the greatest
difficulty in forcing a way through the dense crowd. Es•
partero stood on the seat of the carriage, waving his hand-
kerchief in return for the tumultuous vivas with which he
was greeted. Triumph indeed was it—the triumph of
peace over anarchy, the triumph of the personal character
of one man, who, it cannot be doubted, has saved the
Crown."
