DrAT*l OF MAJOR BROWNL, ROYAL MARINES...-.
This officer in a fit of mental derangement, put a period
to his exigence, at his house, Carlton Graveltits, near
Woolwich, Kent. Extreme anxiety and dejection of
mind was the cause of this melancholy catastrophe. He
inflicted four different wounds with a dirk on his body.
Having fur some time meditated his own destruction,
every thing was removed from his room with which it
was thought possible for him to commit the act ; hut,
unfortunately an old dirk remained, which supported a
picture, and was net observed. Althoti4h his intellects
are stated to be much deranged prior to tire act, it is said,
that when assistance was brought, he expressed a deter-
mination to renew the attempt, if those already made
should fail; and although really in a state of derange-
ment of mind, he seems to have very coolly made up his
resolution to quit life by his Own hand. A gre it prem.
aiiury loss is the alleged cause of his insaiiity• lie died
ou Thursday might, after suffering severely fur many
hours.

A very liberal subscription has been entered into
by the inhabitants of the town of Bruding and its viei.
nity, in aid of the fund to be appropriated to the
the relief of the sufferers at Manchester on the 16th
ult., and for the purpose of obtaining legal investi-
gution us 10 the late arbitrary proceedings of tho
Manchester Magistrates.
We just learn that his Grace the Duke of Rich-
mond, after having inspected the different forts in
Canada, returned to his house, was taken suidenly
ill, and expired almost instantly.
It has been stated, that Lord Viscount Bury hod
declined the contest for rite representation of Arun-
del ; but was founded in error it is true, indeed,
that sonic of Mr. Blake's friends issued bills to that
effect, and posted the same withinside their windows,
where the fricud►s of Lord Bury could not pull them
Mown, and thence, it is supposed, the report of hit
Lordship's declension originated and prevailed.

DEATH OP BLUCHER.

Penult, SeYr.lB.—On the 14th, in the even-
ing, the news which we had for tat= time dreaded
arrived. here, that Field-Marshal Prim* Blucher,
of Wahlstadt, terminated his glorious life on the
I'-t1 of this mont!i, at 19 minutes past 10 a i'dock
in the evening, at his seat at Kriblowitz, in Silesia.
His Majesty the King received this sad news by a
report from the Aileele-camp of the Prince, Cul.
Count Von Nostits, and also by a verbal comm.
qb nication frost Capt. Vun Rudorf, the second Aide-
de-camp. His Majesty immediately gave orders
that the array should put on mourning fur eight
days, and despatched Count Blucher, of Wahlatadt,
the Priace's grandson, with a must gracious letter
a condolence to the Dowager Princess.
Our readers will be glad to hear some account of
the last days of the Prinev's life. On the .ith, his
Majesty sent from Breslaw his Aide-de-camp,
Major-general Von Witsleben, to him. The Prince
was very weak, but in full possession of his mental
faculties. He desired General Witsleben to thank
his Majesty fur all the favours he had conferred on
to recommend his wife to his Majesty's kind-
ness, and to beg that he night be buried without
rsteetation in the open country, in a field un the
read between Kriblowitz and Kunst, on a spot
which he described, ender three lime-trees. On
the observation of the General, that 1-. e need not
think his death so near, as the physicians by no
means considered his case so desperate, he said—
" I know that I shall die; for I feel it better than
the physicians can judge of my situation. I (lie
without reluctance, for I am now of nofurther use.
Tell the King that I have lived, and shall die,
faithful to him.' He gave the Genteel his hand
to take leave. The next day his Majesty, accom-
panied by Prince Charles, paid him u visit ; at first
he was in a kind of lethargy, and did not notice
what was• passing, but afterwards he knew the
King. His Majesty, among other expressions of
regard, said to him, " You may be assured that
no one takes tuore interest in your welfitre than I
do. 1 know what the country and myself owe to
you—do not give up the hope of recovery ; follow
the advice of your physicians, and t the remedies
that are offered to you." [The Prince had latterly
omitted to do this.] He thanked his Majesty, and
recommended the Princess to him.
In the but few days he was without pain, but his
s:rengtk greatly declined, and he was quite unable
speuk. The body is embalmed, aud placed for the
present in the church of Kriblowitr. He was horn,
a, fir as we can learn from former accounts, an the
if;th December, 171:2; and has therefore lived 7(i
8 months, and :Li days. He had been 45 years
the army. His martial glory fills the world—
