On Monday last Sir RICHARD HILL, Bait. died
at his scat at Hawkstone, Shropshire, in the 76th
year of his age. For several years he was one of
the representatives oftliat couuty. Oti the last ge-
neral election, through a very debilitated state of
health, be thought proper to decline. His beauti-
ful seat at Hawkstotie has attracted the attctiti (((( of
visitors of the first rank, who were always treated
with the greatest hospitality and politeness. Sir
RICHARD is succeeded in his title and estates by his
sitcomd brother, now Sir Jour, Hitt, who has tint--
teen ehildreu, and several brand-children. Gene-
ral ROWLARD HILL, who conamoded the 90th re-
giaient in Egypt, with such signal bravery and suc-
cess, and has now the command of a brigade in
Spain, is the second on of the same funk. The
Vev. ItoWL*ND HILL, well known as a preacher,
is, we are informed, a sixth son of the late Sir Row-
LAND HILT., the ancestor of Sir Hit HARD.

of what are denominated sand-cracks in the hoofs.

The evidence of Mr. Alridge %hewed that he
