THE LATE EARL OF MORLEY,

The death of the Earl of Morley, which took
place on Sunday evening at Whiteway, near Chud-
leigh, the residence of Mrs Parker, the mother of
the Countess of Morley, was announced yesterday
by telegraph from Plymouth. His lordship was
staying at Whitaway on a visit, and was in his
usual health up to within a week before his death,
when he was seized with an affection of the throat,
which terminated fatally. The earldom of Morley
was created in 1815, the first earl—previously
created Lord Boringdon in 1784—had formerly re-
presented Devon in the Commons House of Parlia-
ment. The deceased was Edmund, the second earl.
He was born in 1810, and succeeded his father in
the title in 1840, He married, in 1842, the only
daughter of Mr Montague Edmund Parker, of
Whitoway; Devon, and relict of Mr Wm. Coryton,
of Pentilfie Castle, Cornwall. The countess sur-
ViVB6 him, and he leaves by her two children—
Albert Edward, Viscount Boringdon, born at the
family town residence, Kent House, Knights-
bridge, in 1843, now the Earl of Morley, and Lady
Catherine Parker. Tne deceased nobleman was a
Liberal in politics, but, having been attacked by
paralysis in early life, had been an invalid for se-
veral years, and was consequently unable to take
any nArt in the Legislature. He was appointed
colons r of tne Ouutu x,cruu iold, and
was for some years a lord in waiting to the Queen;
but resigned in February, 1852. He was appointed
a special deputy-warden of the Stannaries in Oct.,
1852. He also for several years filled the office of
chairman of the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce,
and was chairman of the South Devon and Tavi-
stock Railway Company, but had resigned the
latter office. His lordship resided for many years,
and up to within a recent period, at his family seat
at Saltram, near Plymouth, where he was a large
landed proprietor. He was a magistrate for the
county of Devoe, and, when his health permitted,
took an active part in the magisterial business of
his localit.y He was a kind. and benevolent land-
lord to his tenantry, and was also a frequent con-
tributor to the local charities.

THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON'S NEW Booß.—A
Paris correspondent of the independence Beige, says :
" The first volume of the Life of Cm ate will decidedly be
issued at the end of the year. The publication has been
delayed by numberless revisions. In obedience to august
desire the two volumes were only to have appeared simul-
taneously, and consequently the publicity given to the work
would have been much retarded, but upon the respectful
opinion expressed by the publisher, the first part will soon
bo placed in the hands of readers. Each volume will cost
from six to eight francs."
TEM SUBSIDENCE OF PETROLEUM.—The Liver-
pool correspondent of the _Reporter says :—"lt
would appear as if those who made such an outcry some
time ago against petroleum, on the ground of the injury
inflicted by it on the olfactory nerves of her Majesty's sub-
jects, were likely to be relieved by any further trouble in
the matter, If the quantity imported continues to decrease
as it has lately done there will be no necessity for either
civic or parliamentary interference to remove the nuisance,'
for it will speedily extinguish itself. During the first half
of 1963, 21,061 tons were imported, but the quantity im-
ported din ng the corresponding period of 1861, was only
883 tons against 5,391 in dui same month of last year.
This extraordinary falling off is ettributed to the diminu-
tion in the supplies from the United States, only 4,000 tons
having been received from that quarter from January to
June, 1861, against 20,000 for the second period of last
year. The difference iu the value of the importations is
about A 165,000.
