We regret to learn that the Duchess of Leinster's late
attack was of an apopletic character. She is now some-
what revived, but still far from convalescent.
The Earl of Glengall is still at Bretby Park, where
his lordship has remained since Christmas. The noble
earl continues in a very weak state, and is not expected

in town at present.
Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. Hugh Percy arrived at
the Earl of Beverley's mansion in Portman-square yes-
terday, from the Crimea. The gallant officer has been
through the whole of the campaign, and was wounded
both at the Alma and at Inkerman. In the former
action he was shot through the arm, and at Inkerman
he sustained a severe wound on the temple, apparently
from a fiintstone. Colonel Percy leaves town to-morrow
for Torquay, where the earl of Beverley has been staying
since Christmas.
DEATH OF LORD KENTON.—We regret to announce
the demise of this nobleman, who e/pired at his seat,
Gredington Hall, in Flintehire, on Sunday last, at the
venerable age of 78. The deceased lord was son of the
first baron, who was a distinguished judge and filled
the office of Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench in 1788.
He succeeded his father in 1802, and is turoned6d by his
son, the Hon. Lloyd Kenyon (now third Baron Kenyon).

causing some anxiety to his friends. His condition is
described by the local papers as precarious.
