LORD CLYDE'S Eliarza.--Wbile Lla Royal High-
nom the Duke of Cambridge, and other high panties al
military distinction are. with creditable feeling, proposing
• nimemiest to Lord Clyde, the following facts should be
called ho thetrattention. The gallant and lamented field-
marshal hie left one only relative, a sister, who under the
limitation of his patent of nobility, which was an ordinary
am, takes no title, not even the desiguation of " honour-
able," from him, sod is simply Miss Campbell. Now, as
the widows of Clyde's two famous companions in arm, Nat
and Havelock, were, after their husband's death. waled to
dignities by special interference ef the crown—Lady Neil
to the rank of • trite of • K.C.13, and Lady Havelock Ns
the rank of the wife of a baronet—it certainly would seem
but just that the mime special interference of theorown
should confer mobility, or mak at least, upon the sole seer-
riving kindred, the sister of one of the lust and most noe-
-1 fid warriors this coustry be. ever \ad.—Mesmer.

day Mr. Humphreys held an inquest on the body of James
Edward Howard, aged 10 mouths, whose emaciated appear-
ance iodinated unmistakably that the child died of 'Mem-

gations of /dm Parsons, nod add she gave them se mach
food as she could out of 10s. 6d. per week she received

at the hospital, who prescribed for him. Mr. Col-
man gave a certificate of the death without having Been the
