DEATH OF THE EARL OF TANKERVILLE.•—We have to
announce the death of the Earl of Tankervllle, who expired
on Saturday merning at his residence in Hertford-street,
Mayfair, after a protracted illness. The deceased, Charles
Augustus Bennet, Earl of Tankerville and Baron Ossulstone,
of Ossulstone, county of Middlesex, in the peerage of Great
Britain. was eldest son of Charles, fourth earl, and Emma,
' second daughter andcoheir of Sir James Colebrook, Bart. lie
was born April 24, 1776, and was consequently in his 83rd
year. The late peer married July 28, 1804. Mademoiselle
'Corisaude Grammont, daughter of the late Duc de Gram-
mont, by whom he leaves surviving issue, the Countess of
Malmesbury and Lord Ossulstone, now Earl of Tanker-
ville. The late earl was educated at Trinity College,
Cambridge, where he graduated M.A. in 1795; and previous
to his succeeding his father as fifth earl in 1822. he sat
in the House of Commons as representative for Steyning,
and subsequently from 1806 to 1818 represented Knares-
borough in that assembly. He was appointed in 1806
Treasurer to the King's Household, when he was made a
Privy Councillor. He was a conservative in politics, but of
late years, from partial blindness, had abstained from all
matters of public business. He is succeeded in the earldom
and family estates by his only son, Charles, Lord Ossulstone,
born Jan. 16, 1810, and married Jan. 29, 1850, to Lady
Olivia, only daughter of the late and sister of the present
Duke of Manchester.

DEATH OF THE MARCHIONESS OF SLIGO.—WC have to
record the demise of the Marchioness of Sligo. Her lady-
ship died at an early hour on Sunday morning, at the
family residence in Harley-street. The late marchioness
was confined on Thursday last, and the following day most
unfavourable symptoms manifested themselves, and, we
deeply regret to say, the lamented lady sunk under them.
She was the marquis's second wife, was daughter of Mr.
Anthony Nugent, of Pallas, county Galway, and was only
married to the marquis in the summer of last year. It wilt
be recollected that at the time of their marriage some
impediments were occasioned through his lordship being
Protestant and the lamented deceased being of the Romish
faith, which were afterwards reconciled by a dispensation
from the Pope.

SMOKING kills and cures live men and dead herrings.
A little girl being sent to a shop to purchase some dye-
stuffs, and forgetting the name of the article, said to the
shopman : "Please, sir, what do people dye with ? " " Why,
cholera, sometimes," replied the man. "Well, I believe
that's the name," said she; "I want to get three
pennyworth."

CARRYING HOME HIS WORK. The venerable lady of a
celebrated physician, one day casting her eye out of the
window, observed her husband in the funeral procession of
one of his patients, at which she exclaimed : " I do wish my
husband would keep away from such processions, it appears
too much like a tailor carrying home his work."
EXTRAORDINARY AND USEFUL INVENTION.—There is
nothing that housewives complain of with greater truthful-
ness, than the breaking of some favourite piece of glass,
valuable china, or earthenware. In hundreds of cases such
things cannot be matched, and of course cannot be mended.
The latter want has been obviated by an extraordinary and
effective invention, by Mr. Adshead, of Derby Pottery, near
Derby. It is a cement that may be said to heal in a per-
fect manner, all cracks and breaks in the articlesspoken of ,
and not only in these, but in marble, alabaster, &c. The
benefit of this article need not be dwelt on. We have seen
some of its effects at Mr. Hall's, our neighbour's, and the
glass that has been cemented by it is stronger in that part
than in any other. The article is very cheap, and no house
can be long without it. Mr. Hall is the agent for its sale
in Liverpool, and all interested can judge for themselves by
looking in at his establishment. Agent for Liverpool, E.
