delay. The City of London has again returned
Baron ROTUSCHTLD to the Ileum of Commons,
and the Baron has voluntarily entered into
an engagement to resign his seat Wile• i
diately the Legislature refuses to allow him
lb represent that constituency. This, therefore,
at the beginning of a new Parliament, is a question
which presses for the earliest settlement. By far the
simplest mode of reaching the end desired would, no
doubt, be for the House, by its own inherent autho-
rity, to vote the omissi;in of those words appended to
the oath which are not part of its substance, and
which were neve-: intended to exclude members of the
Jewish persuasion. It is to be hoped that some
independent Liberal will take, in the new House, the
opinion of that assembly as to this ;mode of settling
once and for ever the question ; but should that
course not be adopted, or, being adopted, not be
successful, the Liberal party has a right to expect
that the Government will not lam a single day in
either itself introducing a measure for the relief of
the Jews from an accidental disability,or, better still,
afford to Lord JOHN RUSSELL an opportunity of
doing so. We say better still, because that is a sub-
ject which appropriately belongs to Lord JOHN, and
upon which the Government could gracefully and use-
fully seek his assistance. But no matter what the
form or who the mover, the Liberal party have a right
to expect and, if necessary, to insist, that the full
force and strength of the Government shall be at
once and seriously given to the Jew question. It is
a subject that will place the party in the hall career
of program, that will unite it on a subject with which
its chief past glories are inseparably associated, and
that will identify both the Government and the
party with greater and higher principles than those
meant to be conveyed under the sham cry of Pro-
greseive Improvement

DEATH OF HER ROYAL HIGHNESS
THE DUCHESS OF GLOUCESTER.
(THIS DAY.)

We deeply regret to announce that Her Royal
Highness the Duchess of Gloucester expired a few
minutes after 6 o'clock this (Thursday) morning,
at Gloucester House, Piccadilly.
The following was issued shortly after the melan-
choly event bad taken place :
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester
expired, without suffering, at a quarter after five
o'clock this morning.

April 30, 1837."

" FRANCIS HAWKINS.
" EDWARD H. HILLS.

Her late Royal Highness was the fourth daughter
of George 111., and, consequently, aunt to her pre-
sent most gracious Majesty. Her Royal Highness
was born on the 26th of April, 1778, and was there-
fore eighty-one years old at the time of her death.
On the 22nd of July, 1818, she was married to her
cousin, Prime William Frederick, second Duke of
Olonoester, who died 30th November, 1834. Her
Royal Highness was Ranger and Keeper of Rich-
mond New Park.

Every day daring her late illness some among the
royal family visited the late duchess at Gloumster
Howse.

The duchess was the last survivor of the numerous
children of George 111.
The Duke of Cambridge arrived at Gloucester
House at half-put ten o'clock yesterday forenoon. At
one o'clock, the Ditcher of Kent paid the Duchess of
Gloucester a visit. The Duke of Cambridge was
also with her royal highness at the same time. The
Duchess of Kent remained about three-quarters of
an hour. In the afternoon the Princess Royal and
the Princess Alice, attended by the Marchioness of
Ely, visited their illustrious relative. Prince Albert,
accompanied by the Prince of Wales, and attended
by Captain Du Plat, arrived at Gloucester House,
later in the afternoon, to learn the state of the
Royal Duchess.
Shortly after eight o'clock her Majesty's Lord
_ . .

Chamberlain arrived at Gloucester lioue, when
orders were issued for the necessary arrangements
for her Royal Highness's funersL This, it is pre-
sumed, will take place in the royal mausoleum in
St. George's Chapel, at Windsor Castle.

In accordanee with the desire of the illustrious
deceased, the funeral proceedings will be conducted
in a comparatively private manner.
The remains of the late duchess will be plaited
by the side of his late royal highness the Duke
of Gloucester.
The bells of the numerous churches in the metro-
polis tolled, and at the royal churches the bells
rang mused peals. The tradesmen at the West-end
closed their shops oat of respect to the memory of
her late Royal Highness.

At a meeting of the Manehester Town Council
yesterday, It was resolved to present an address to his Royal
Highness Prince Albert "on the occasion of his opening the
Gnat Pahibitica of Art Treasures on Tuesday next." It is
presumed, however, that the lamented death of the Duchess
of Gloucester will deprive the Exhibition of the honour of
his Royal ilighnem's presidency.

THE NORTHERN BELLE.

The following despatch has been received by
Lord Clarendon from Mr. Dallas with reference to the lose
of the Northern Belle _ _ _

"The United States' Minister at the Court of St. James's
has the hamar to transmit to tho Earl of Clarendon, &c.,
21 silver medals and a bill of exchange for 2701. mitring, and
to remark that his lordship will be pleased to cause these
testimonials to be delivered to the brave individask kr
whom they are Intended by the President of the United
States in acknowledgment ef the serdera rendered ht saving

the lives of the crew of the American ship Notthern Belle.
"The incidents otemected with the fate of this vessel
occurred too recently sad too dose to the British oast,
minim too asiveseel and deep a sensation, to nosier their
detailed repetitka at all nateseary ea this oression. It will,
berwerwr, be recollected by his lordship, that after primer-
' lag bet voyage Dena the Atlantic from New Yea, end
while approaoking the port of her destination, london, the
Northern Belle, of 1,100 tone burden, on the 6th of
January last encountered a gale of unusual violence, end was
obliged to asehre off Kingegate et lees than a mile's distance
from the shore. She rods heavily, and the sea occasionally
broke completely over her. Her main and arisen meats
were cut away. The fury of the dorm inereesed, and raged
during the whole of the day, rendering vain every effort at
assistance, and engulfing • Margate lugger that attempted
it. The ship parted from her anchors at midnight, and, •
prey to the tempest, drove, amid darkness, hail, sleet, and
snow, upon the rocks beneath the eliff. Her crew, twenty-
three in number, lashed themselves to the rigging of the
only remaining meat, struggled through the horrors of the
night, and were discovered from the beach at early dawn.
Gallant and humane exertions were at once made to mem
them from their desperate condition. One lifeboat, manned
by ten brave men, pulled through •boiling surf at imminent
peril, reached the wreck, and returned to shore with seven of
the sufferers. A second lifeboat, emulating the daring ad-
venture, brought fourteen others safely to land, sad finally,
though long thwarted by their determination to perish tether
than to kayo the Naethers Belle, the same means redeemed
the captain and the pilot from impending death.
"These are the leading features, as reported to his govern•
ment by the consul of the United States in London, of the
scrim of successful acts of courage and humanity which it
is the desire of the president to mark by tokens of Americas
gratitude and thanks. The undersigned has therefore been
specially instructed to lay before the Earl of Clarendon the
list, acoumpanying this letter, of those Smelly heroic spirits
who manned the lifeboats, and to beg that his lordal"p will
cause cseh individual therein mentioned to bo presented with
the silver medal inscribed to him, and also, from the amount
of the bill of exchange, with the sum stated opposite his
name (augmented according to the number of risks incurred),
in evidence of the high appreciation and acknowledgment of
their conduct by the government and people of the United
States.
