DEATH OP all GEORGE CARROLL, KNIGHT.
(THIS DAY.)

Information was received this morning shortly
after 12 o'clock by the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor,
to the effect that Sir George Carroll, knight, the alderman
of On ward of Candlewick, had expired this morning (Wed-
nesday) shortly before 9 o'clock, at his residence, 34, Caven-
dish-square. Sir George belonged to the ornpany of Spectacle
Makers. He was appointed alderman of the ward of
Candlewick, upon the resignation of Alderman Birch,
upon the 21st of December in the year 1840, so that it
will be seen the worthy alderman bad served the ward for
twenty years, len two days only, in that capacity. In the
year 1937 be was sheriff, and in 1846 he filled the office of
Lind Mayor, much to the satisfaction of hie fellow citizen'.
We understand he was, in his 81st year, and within a week
of hie death enjoyed his usual health; in fact, he attended
at the last Court of Aldermen, and voted on the election
for a chaplain for the prison at Holloway.

The contemplated marriage between Mr. Hope

eldest daughter of the late Duke of Norfolk, sad god-
daughter of her Majesty, will take place on Monday, the
7th of next month, being the earliest illy after Christmas
that is allowed by the arrangements of the Roman catholic
church. It is well known that it was the late duke's desire
that as Mr. Hope Scott is left guardian and trustee of the
present duke and the younger children of 64 grace, the
marriage should have taken place before his decease and
a that was found impossible, it is understood that it was
the duke's wish that it should be solemnised a early as
passible afterwards.

The ultramontane journal, the Monde, thinks
that the decree as to passports in France can only be
preliminary to a more general measure which will include
all Frenchmen. Otherwise, "in order to be free in
France, Frenchmen would hare to get naturalised in Eng-
land—which would have a very awkward look, and give
rise to many unpleasant remarks. Let us be polite towards
the English, but let our politeness have some limits, and
not be carried to the extent of conferring a privilege which
offends our nati,mal hdhits. Few Frenchmen travel in
England ; the English, on the contrary, overrun France—
they settle there, end live just as they would at home. The
least they can do is to conform to oar ewes. r,ee what
progress an ides makes in the world ! Before 1789, the
fnivigner was regarded as an enemy (and rightly too, we
think). After 1789, equality having come into fashion, be
was assimilated to the native. Lastly, by an unexpected
step, he is now placed in a better position than the French-
man himself ! It is unnecessary to dwell on this point.
We only ask to he treated the same.. the most (avowed
nation; and our government cannot, in reasuu, refuse us
that."
