Prince GUSTAVUS, Duke of Upland, and second
son of the King of SWEDEN, died at Christiana on the
24th ult. He landed there on the 16th with their
MAJESTIES, and complained of indisposition. On the
following day he was seized with violent fever, which
ended fatally. The Swedish Ambassador at Paris
has issued invitations for a grand diplomatic dinner
for this day, but it has heen necessarily put off, in
consequence of the death of the Prince.

pay a visit to the Principality; and for her Majesty's accom-
modation the greater part of the Penrhyn Arms Hotel, at

Though her Majesty's visit will be private, yet there can be

duty to receive her with such demonstrations of affectionate
regard as are due to her exalted character and position.—
North Wales Chronicle.

RE-OPENING Or THE ACCOUNTANT-GENERAL'S
OFFICE LN BANKRUPTCY.—On Saturday notice was given
that the office of the Accountant-General in Bankruptcy,
which has been closed by order of the Lord Chancellor since
the 12th of August last, will be re-opened this day, when
dividend warrants will be paid.

The Cabinet Ministers are expected to assemble in
London about the 14th of the present month, for the pur-
pose of settling the period of the meeting of the new Parlia-
ment, which at present stands prorogued to the 21st of
October. A Privy Council will very shortly afterwards
be held by the Queen, at which a proclamation will be issued,
summoning the Peers and Members of the House of Com-
mons to meet for the dispatch of public business.— Sunday
Paper.

THE DUKE'S FUNERAL.---It is confidently stated,
in circles likely to be well infermed on the subject, that the
funeral of the late Duke of Wellington will take place on Sa-
turday, the 13th of November.

PRINCESS'S THEATRI.—A new two-act melo-
drama is to be produced on Wednesday, called Mount St.
Michel ; or, the Fairy of the Sands, in which Mr. Wright will
make his first appearance under the present management.
The other principal parts are to be filled by Mr. Harley, Miss
Carlotta Le Clercq, and Miss Marsliall.

ARRIVAL or GOLD DUST.—On Saturday the ship
Medway, Captain Blackwood, arrived in the River from
Melbourne, Port Philip, with no less than 61,500 ounces of
gold dust, valued at upwards of 270,0001. Immediately on
the vessel arriving off Limehouse, she was surrounded by a
complete fleet of small boats filled with crimps, lodging-
house keepers, and others of the " long-shore" fraternity,
who made numerous ineffectual efforts to get on board to re-
move the seamen's effects, under the impression, from the
valuable nature of the ship's cargo, that the men must be
equally well stored. In anticipation of such an attempt,
however, police officers were on board, and all their endea-
vours were fruitless. The Medway brings one of the most
valuable cargoes ever imported by a private vessel into the
port of London, amounting, in the aggregate, with cargo and
gold dust in the hands of the passengers, to nearly 500,000/.
The Ganges, Allan master, also arrived in the River on Sa-
turday, from Sydney, New South Wales, with a cargo of
gold dust and wool, valued at 100,0001.
THE AMERICAN CLOCK MANUFACTURE. —Some
idea of the extent to which clock making is carried on in
this state may be formed from the fact that, in the town of
Bristol alone, a capital of three hundred thousand dollars is
invested in the manufacture of clocks. The number of this
description of timepieces annually finished is oae hundred
and fifty thousand. One handred thousand samples of inside
work, in addition, are turned out, and sent to other factories
for completion • that is, to be supplied with cases, and other
external embellishments. Between three and four hundred
hands are employed in the different establishments; besides a
large number of females, who do the ornamental part of the
work, such as painting, &c. Other flourishing factories exist
in various parts of the state, equally worthy of notice; par-
ticularly at Terryville, Plymouth, and Litchfield.—Litchfield
Republican.
TIIE CASE OF VOLUNTARY STARVATION IN MARY-
LEBeNc.—On Friday, at the meeting of the Marylebone
Guardian Board, the overseers reported that the magistrates
had refused to certify to the insanity of the Misses Sharpley,
whb had attempted to commit suicide by voluntary starva-
tion, so that they might be removed to a lunatic asylum ;
that in consequence inquiries had been made, and their set-
tlement proved to be at Windsor, to which place they would
be removed in due course of law. Subscriptions continue
to be received in their behalf, but inasmuch as they still
persist in refusing aid, it is understood to be the intention of
offering it to their aged parent, bir, Sharpley.
