DEATH OF THE EARL OF SHREWSBURY.—This distin-
guished nobleman expired on the 9th inst., at Naples,
after a short illness. The noble earl has been sojourning
on the Continent during the last two years, an~ was re-
cently at Palermo. About the 3d inst. he was suddenly
seized with an affection of the brain, caused by exposure
to the intense heat of the place, and his removal to
Rome was advised by his medical attendants. After
resting for a day, his lordship and suite set out for that
city, and reached Naples, where he was taken suddenly
ill of fever, and soon after expired. At Birmingham
last evening a solemn dirge, at which the Right Rev.
Dr. Ullathorne officiated, was sung for the repose of the
soul of the deceased nobleman.

SOUTHERN WHALE FISHERY. - The New Bedford
Mercury has reports from about 70 ships on the coast
of Kamschatka, up to August 1. The ships have done
very well, the average catch being about nine whales‘to
each vessel. The few reports which we have from the
Arctic do not look so well, but they are not sufficiently
numerous to demonstrate the fortune of the season.—
