DEATH OP THE MARCHIONESS DOWAGER CONYNG-
HAIL—Ths Marchioness Dowager Conyngham died yester-
day, at Bifrons, the family seat near Canterbury, at the
venerable age of 92. Lady Conyngham was the daughter of
Mr. Joseph Denison, of Disables, to the county of Surrey.
Up to the age of 27 Miss Denison resided with her father,
then a wealthy merchant and banker, carrying on business
Is St. Mary-axe. Here the rich and beautiful heiress was
won and wedded, in 1794, by the Hon. Henry Burton, then
a captain 28 years old, and eldest eon of the fortunate
Francis Pierpoint Burton, of Buncraggy, who succeeded,
through his mother, after the death of her two brothers, to
the barony and estates of the old Coeynghams, won at the
battle of the Boyce by Sir Albert Conyngham, Lieutenant-
General of the Ordnance of Ireland • and aggrandised by
may forfeitures and marriages suisequently. Captain
Burton carried off his wife to Ireland, and only revisited
England in his Clod year, to kiss hands, in 1808, on hie pro-
motion to a major-generalship. On succeeding to his
father's title and estates, his lordship so industriously en-
deavoured to improve the condition of the latter that he
was justly regarded as one of the benefactors of his country,
sod a visit to his estate at Slane, on the banks of the Boyne,
is recorded by Mr. Parkinson, in his "Experiences of Agri-
culture," in the mime terms as a visit to Holkham would
have been chronicled in the days of Mr. Coke. The Barony
of Conyngham was increased to au earldom, as a reward for
the spirited conduct of bin lardship's father, which led to a
reciprocity of trade between Ireland and Englauil. Upon
the conclusion of the war with France, George IV.. as is
well known. nude a visit to Irelaod, and was hospitably
received and entertained at Slane Castle. Here, probably,
commenced that more intimate acquaiutance between his
Majesty and the Marquis Cooyngliain and his family which
induced the King, upon his return to England, to invite .he
whole family to court, and, after they had accepted the
invitation, to retain them in his household. In 1816 hie
lordship was created Viscount Slane (the restoration of an
ancient title forfeited in the Rebellion). Earl of Mountcharlis,
and Marquis Conyngham ; and in 1821 lie was enrolled in
the British peerage as Baron Minster, of Minster Abbey, in
the county of Kent. The marchioness was left • widow in
1832, and has survived to see both her eons peers of the
resin' the one in succession to his father; the second,
Albert Denham, as the heir to her own father's great for-
tune and estates, with the title of Baron Loodesborough,
whose two daughters, with their cousin, Lady
Conyngham, all granddaughters of the marchioness, were,
it will be remembered, married on the same day a few
months sine,.

A STEAW-ENOINE SWALLOWED cr.—On Tuesday
morning last, about 9 o'clock, the engineer at Mr. W.
Cottarn's, of the West Bromwich foundry. thought he per-
ceived symptoms that the land on which the engine and
works are placed would " crown," or fall in. He at once,
for self preservation, ran out of the engine-house, and had
just done so when the earth gave way, swallowing up the
steam-engine and machinery. The large boiler attached dud
not, however, descend into the abyss, but bangs in a very
insecure position. This unfortunate accident will, it said,
involve a loss of between 2001. and 300/. upon Mr. Cotten].
It is, however, a matter of congratulation that no hfe was
aserificeil, nor was say bodily injury sustained.— Stafford-
shi re Advertiser.
FOUR AT SEA.—WRECIL OF • BARQCE AND
SITANBOAT ON THE DURHAM COAKT.—SHIELDR, FRIDAY
Ntoirr.—Above a hundred sail of light vessels have ar-
rived in the Tyne to-day, a south-east wind having brought
them down from the south. Last night the weather was ex-
tremely foggy at sea, and it is to be feared disasters will
have to be reported before twenty-four hours are over. Last
night, a little before midniaht, a powerful Tyne tug steamer,
the Robert Pow, was towing a Mecklenburg barque along
the Durham coast, when they both were run ashore upon
'‘Yhitburn Steel in the mist. The steamboat, which was
worth 1,991., and is only insured for 803/., is a total wreck,
and has been 10`aildened to the underwriters, her bottom
beierigthoeut ; and it is fend that if the weather does not keep
barque may meet a Amex: fate. This afternoon we
fin
have had thunder, and as the wind is keeping au'r.; to the
east, there is a sea upon the coast.
Fonincile-osncs, Ocr. 11.—The Queen has been
pleased to approve of Mr. Johann Rens u Consul at Penang
for his Majesty the King of Prussia ; the Queen has also
been pleased to approve of Mr. George. Hogg as Consul at
Trinidad for the United States of America ; the Queen has
also been pleased to approve of Mr. Alexander Stewart as
Consul at Rurrachee for the Free Haoseatis City of
Bremen—Gazdre.

Some of the accounts from trustworthy quarters
in Paris express a confident belief that the Empe-
ror of the French contemplates recognising the
Confederate States of the South. His object, Uis
affirmed, will be to release the cotton, the want of
which is severely felt in the cotton manufacturing
districts iu France.

It is rumoured that, independently of the
2,000,0001. to be obtained from London, the Bank
of France are making arrangements to procure
further aasistanee of a similar character through

to 107} to 2, arrangements are being made for the
despatch of some parcels of gold by next Wednes-
day's packet from Liverpool. •
At New York Virginia Bonds have fallen front
51 to 47 to The principal sellers are some of
the banks, and their motive for realising at a
heavy loss is apparently the extent to which their
resources are locked up in Federal government
paper. Here Virginia Bonds closed this afternoon
at 4511 to 444, being 2 per cent, lower than in the
morning.
In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon the
principal feature was the continued decline in the
rate for short bills on Paris. This is owing, no
doubt, to the anticipation of the drafts for account
of the Bank of France. The exchange on Austria
is higher. Subjoined is our usual list :
