DEATH or• MIL ItOSE.

At his seat, Coneils, Hants, on Tuesday morning, the
Right lion. George Rose. He had for souse months been in
a very ill state of health, from which Ills advanced age atiorde d
no reasonable hope of recovery. He wa., we believe, little
short of eighty. He was a gentleman of extensive informa-
tion, and of practical experience in all commercial, financial,
and official subjects : he rose from Isis own merits and in-
dustry Am., to some of the most lucrative and important
offices in the State. He was Treasury of the Navy, President
• of the Board of Trade, Clerk of Parliament, Keeper of the
Records in the Receipt side of the Exchequer, one of the
Lords of his Majesty's Privy Council, an Elder Brother of
the Trinity House, Verdcrer of the New Forest, Hants, and
Member of Parliament for the town of Christchurch. lie
was a nz.ti cc of the Warns (Kincardineshire), and was first
a steward, and afterwards a purser in the Royal Navy. At
an early period in his life his arithmetical talents and eaten.
sive financial knowledge recommended him to the particular
attention of the Earl of Shelburne (afterwards the Marquis
of Landsdowne), who wits then First Lord of the Treasury,
and he was soon after appointed one of the Secretaries to the
Treasury, lint resigned on the formation of the Administra-
tion of Lord North and Mr. Fox. On the subsequent eleva-
iion to the Premiership of his friend and patron, William
Pitt, he wes again appointed one of the Secretaries to the
Treasury, and continued as senior iu that important situation
for many years. On the retirement from office of Mr. Pitt
and his political adherents, Mr. Ruse resigned his situation.
and was shortly after sworn of the Privy Council. He was
subsequently, on the return of Mr. Pitt to office, one of tin
Paymasters-General of the Forces ; and on the dismission •.
the Whig Administration from power in 1507, Mr. Rose wa
appointed T reasiner of the Navy, which office he held to .hi•
time of his death. Latterly, the important office of President
of the Board of Trade was chiefly eseented by the Right
lion. Frederick Robinson. The lucrative situation of (lei k
of Parliament was several years since conferred on Mr. Rose
the .reversion to his eldest sou, George H. Rose, Esq.
M.P. for Stathautpton, and now Minister to the Court of
Berlin), as an ultra ior prevision. The other situat ions above
mentioned, of which that of President of the Boar,' of Trade,
that of Verdore2 of the New Forest. and the Keepership of
the Records, become vacant by his demise. As Clei k of
Parliament, Mr. Rose will be succeeded by his son ; as Pre«
sideut of the Board of Trade, by Mr. Robinson; and as
Treasurer of the Navy probably by the Right Hon Charles
Arbuthnot.

FRENCH MODESTY:A letter from Paris mentions
fin amusing instance of legislative ambition. When
the Committee on the Recruiting Law cattle to elect a
Reporter (or what we should here denominate a Chair-
man) each of the nine Members voted tier himself; a
second trial produced the same result ; and the third
might have ended in the like fruitless way, but that
some one individual of less i ordinate vanity than his
neighbours transferred his vote to General D'Autbru-
' geac, who was in consequence elected.
