In our account of the pnweedings at the Mansion Holm, a house•
is stated to have belonged to a late wort:y Alderman. We are
authorized to say, that the late Alderman Goodbehere was not the
person alluded tn.

three o'clock on Wednesday arternoon, Alderman Goodbehere re-
turned to his house, China Terrace, 11,:indath. in apparent gond
health, to dress as lie was going tam to dinner, and he immediately
wont up stairs. Soon attar the servant heard a violent noi,e, at if:
something heavy had fallen ; she ithinediately ran up. and Mond her
master him on the floor in an apoplectic lit- Medical aid was im-
media!ely kid recourse to, aail Dr. Matom of Spring Gurdensoisited -
hint twice in the course of the day. An express was allai sent fest
Dr. Bankheadoo Brighton, who ha • been fur some years the phyt
clan to the family ; but before the hitter gentleman's arrival, t!,:e
worthy Magistrate had breathed his last. He died in the afternoon,
at halt' past three o'clock. Dr. Bankhead in;tantly returned to
Brighton, to communicate the sad intelligence to the lady and son
of the deeded, both of whom, we are sorry to learn, are there in a
very delicate state of health. Alderman Goodheltere had been fur
nearly thirtnears a distinguiinal member of the Corporation of
londors, and rcpresente,l the Word- of Cheap. He acootred a con-
siderable fortune by unremitted industry and perseverane_ in br•i-
msg. and was justly esteemed for integrity and punetnality in ail tits
dealk:gs. Mr. Gootibehere has left's widow and a son. his only
• about twenty years of age, who is a member of the University
of Cambridge.
Another account says—it was in the morningjrats after breakfast, .
that he fell down. A female servant heard him tall, and seeing him
gasping for breath, ran for Mr. Hyde, the surgeon, who immediately
attended. The worthy Alderman so far recovered, that he was-able
to walk up stairs to his bed room, where he was cupped Every
thing that skill or attention could do IV thee!, but a second attack of
apoplexy was fatal, :old he died about three o'clock in the afternoon.
Snort as the interval has been since the demise of the 'amity Alder-
man, a most active canvass has commenced for the possession of the
vacant civic gown. There are nu less than *eves candidates, among
whom we notice the names of Sirs T. Bell, G. Alderson, P. Desange-,.
and IL Kirby, Esq. (late Sheriffs), and Messrs. Bothwell. Thomp-
son. and another. T. Wilson,. Esq. the new city member, has been
waited upon. by some most respectable citizens, who invited him to
become a candidate.

Extract of a Leiter received by a gentleman of Bath, dated Leith.
Nov. 14.—"1 yesterday witne.aerl the neat heart-rending scene I ever
beheld. The paesage-boet, while crossing to Fife with twenty-fives
passengers on board, at the distance of elan', a mile and a half upset...
owing to the obstinacy of two boatmen, who were drunk, crowding
too much sail. Though so near shore, and generally such shallow
water, the sea ran so heavy, and the gale was so strong, that noes-
sistance could be afforded them, and every soul on board perished !
A young Newfoundland dug, belonging to a passenger, swans ashore.
I cannot detail tire particulars of woo were in the bolt, my fright
king so great : indeed I scarcely know how to describe toy feelings,
whether they are the excess of joy or grief. perlina bath combined ;..
for 1 purchased my ticket as a passenger in the boat, but owing to
the evident intoxicatien of the men, I Aright not venture. I have
this moment learned that a vessel bearing down perhaps to essist the,
unfortunates, a Newcastle smack, struck upon one bat of Inch Keife,
and upwards of forty persons perished : We have heard continual•
tidings of mischief for this last week, it blowing trent •ndous gales."
The following is copied from a Chester paper: About; four-
yenr:, ago, a loan, posseesed of very considerable property, died, be-
gueuthing his effects to his daughter, in eeelitsion of his son and wife.
Iris will, it seems, fell into the hands of his wife, with whom the son
was a favourite ; and to prevent its being carried into effect. she
buried it, together with what other valuable papers she could collect..
in the coin with her husband. A few w.;.:as ago, being on her
death bed, she confessed the particulars to a female friend, enjoining-
hernot to disclose the fact till after her death. The widow is now
.decal, and application is making at Doctors' Commons to take up the.
;deceased man, which it is understood will be granted.
