THE late MARQUIS of LONDONDERRY.

The following aniedite.respecting the late Mar-
quis of Londonderry ere bate heated from undoubted
itithority. It may eerie to exculpate those to whom
directions had been gieen to remove every weapon
of destruction from the Noble Marquis's reach. of
which they knew him to he in possession ; and may
also tend to skew more strongly the disordered state
of the Marquis's mind on the Friday when the
symptoms of deranged intellect first became so
manifest to all around him. We have already
stated, that on the Friday in question. the
utifortunate Nobleman was seen walking in Cock-
.l.dr-street and NIL mall in a very' absent and
ein.l.ss manner. As he was proceeding towards
Jsmes's.stresß, he was pointed out to •
Geotleman who had never seen him before, and
whore curiosity was so much excited on a first view,
%hat be determined to follow end. have • complete
stare at one whose participation in the political
changes in Europe during the last twenty years had
hero so prominent. lie closely pursued his steps op
St. James's-street and into Piccadilly, where, to
his great surprise, he saw his Lordship bustle in
tirnoiitt. the crowd, which surrounded the coaches
a,seintArd in front of the White Horse Cellar. and
appiinachisig a Jew buy, who held in" his hand a
tray of cheep knives which he was offering for sale,
seNet from among the number a small one with a
*bite handle, which he immediately put into his
waistcoat pocket, aqd throwing down a shilling,
the price demanded, walked easy. The geutletnan
thought it singular at the moment that so great a
man should deal in so email • way, and at dinner
the next day related the anecdote as a mark of the
eccentricity which he did not expect to have dis-
covered in a than of such high rank and conse-
quence.
The melancholy occurrence at North Cray, dis-
closed on the Tuesday, had evidently a connexion
with the circumstances time detailed. It was pre-

risely with melt a knife as that described to have
been purchased of the Jew boy, that the fatal wound
was given : and the ignorance of the Nuble Mar-
quis's servants that he was in possession of such an
instrument, accounts for its baring been overlooked.

DUBLIN, AUGUST 19.
The Earl of Clancarty and suite have sailed for

THE LATE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY.
It is not generally koowu that this dittinguihed
Nobleman was a native of Dublin. He was born
in Flenry.street .on the 18th of Jane, 1769. • His
family were of the Preabyterian persuasion, and
members of the congregation of Striend.sireet, in
this city. • It appears from the baptismal registry
of that church, that he was baptised by the late
Rev. Dr. Moody on the sth July, 1769.—( Dublin
Freentan's Journal.)

IRISH DISTRESS. • - .

DUBLIN, AUGUST 19.
SOCIETY FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF TUE IRISH
PEASANTRY.

We perceive that the Mansion House Committee
have approached to the close of their labour.; Lifter
this day (the 19th) they cease according to their
notice, to make any further allocation of money,
but we make no doubt, that if a case of extreme
hardship is made out, their bounty will be applred
as it ought.
As to the surplus fund, we are glad to find that
part of it is to be invested in Stock, and that it will
accumulate fur the benefit of the poor. Much pub-
lic good is likely to result from the coarse proposed
to be adopted. If we are well informed (and we
trust to the accuracy of the account we here give),
it appears that a Society is likely to be formed for
the purpose of improving the condition of the Poor
in "refund; at this we rejoice, and we congtatulate
the two benevolent Committees in London mild in
Dublin, on thin creditable termination of their la-
bours. Ireland will be long indebted to their spirit,
their activity, dud their beutvolence.—(Dublin
l'reenzun.)

The fear of not getting married after the lit or
September, without a considerable addition to the
preliminary trouble and ceremony, has operated
forcibly on the lower classes in this parish, for, with
a view to get the important business concluded be-
fore the day on which the operation of the Marriage
Act takes place, an extraordinary number of banns
were published on Sunday last (18th inst.) in our
Ccllegiate and Parish Church. The following are
the number of couples whose intended marriages
were announced :—For the first time, 78 couples;
second time, 125 ; third time, 53.—(Manchester
Herald.)
_

Lord KENNEDY has pined his bet (we believe
of 1,500 guineas), that lie would ride 150 miles,
walk ten mile+, shoot 40 brace of grouse, and walk
tell miles bark, all in twenty-four hours; which he
performed in twenty-one hours, and shot forty-nine
brace, being nine brace more than his number, and
in three hours less time.—(Newcastle( Amuck.)
DESTRUCTION OF CROWS, &e.—The Richmond
inquirer contains a communication in which the
writer says, that a society or Gentlemen, formed in
Caroline county, for the purpose of destroying
crows, hawk., owls, and moles," had during the
last year brought in .58,440 scalps of these enemies
to our corn crops." That hawks, owls, and moles
ought to be eaterminated for their depredations, we
hare no objection ; bat we question the policy of
destroying crows, M we have been assured by many
experienced lames. that they do ten times more
real service by picking .11p the grub worms, those
deadly enemsecif .or crops, than would buy ell
the corn or other pain which they may eat, and
which they never touch when worms are to be
fon nd.—(Americois Paper.)
