DEATH OF LORD WILLOUGHBY DE BROKE.—The wait
Hon. Henry Peyto Verney, eighth Lord Willoughby a°
Broke, died suddenly at his seat, Compton Verney, °ll
Thursday last, in his 80th year. His lordship, though 0,7
had been some time in an infirm state of health, was as vie;"'
as usual on Wednesday evening, but about midnight lad
servants found that he was speechless, and on Thursday
morning he expired. In politics the deceased peer w. 68
strictly conservative, but he had taken little or no part "`
public affairs for several years past.
GOVERNMENT PATRONAGE.—The Earl of Hardwick:
has appointed Mr. Joseph Long to the office of President
of the Money-order Department of the Irish General Post-
office, in succession to Mr. Stephen Creaghe, deceased-
The salary is 3501. per annum. Mr. Long, who was wholly
unconnected with the Post-office, had for several years
taken an active part as unpaid agent to the Conservative
party in Dublin, and the present city representatives are
in no slight degree indebted to his exertions for their seats
in the House of Commons.
DEATH OF MR. PETER BORTHWICK.—We regret to
record the death of this gentleman, who expired on Satur
day last, after a long and painful illness. Mr. Borthwick
represented Evesham in two Parliaments, and was a fluent
speaker and a ready political writer. Mr. Borthwick, for
the last three years, filled the office of editor of the MOW
ing Post.
ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB.—There was a very large
assemblage of the members of this very popular and rapidly
advancing club, at the Caledonian Hotel, Adelphi last
night—the Commodore, W. Goodson, Esq., in the Chair-
The occasion was rendered peculiarly interesting, owing to
the name of the Chief Magistrate of the City of London
being at the head of the list of members proposed for ballot.
Upon the motion of Mr. Lott, seconded by Mr. Tress
lordship was unanimously elected, and there is no doubt
that his excellent example will be followed by a vast raw
ber of the Corporation, many of whom are already mew
bers. Captain Giles, R.N.' having been elected Secretary,
vice Mr. T. Gregory, and some routine business having
been disposed of, the club adjourned.
SUICIDE OF A FEMALE FROM LOVE.—Yesterday, Mr'
Baker held an inquest at the Vestry, John-street, Cam'
bridge-heath, Hackney, respecting the death of Small
Locke, aged 22, a single woman, who was found drowned
on Saturday morning last, in the Regent's-canal, near Vic-
toria-park. She was in service in the family of a lady at
Streatham, and had been in a very melancholy state of
mind for the last few weeks. She was much attached tell
young man, who had been paying his addresses to her, axe•
who suddenly broke off the connection. She has since, on
three several occasion, attempted to drown herself. rer-
diet, " Found drowned."
THE WELLINGTON TESTIMONIAL FUND.—The follow'
ing complaint has been addressed to the Times
Being an admirer of the fate Duke, I spell over every name
in the subscription lists to the Wellington Testimonial
Fund, and each name, as I read it, receives from me a
sympathetic tribute of respect ; for as admirers of the same
we may be said to stand in a parallel relation to one an'
other. But I have come to one name which has disturbed
all harmony of feeling— that of a gallant Colonel and
M.P., who subscribes 201. Now, Sir, this very Colonel
and M.P. owes me money, some 1501. or 2001., and at the
risk of being thought a hard man, I will coness to you,
although the act might not be justified before a commit' ee
at Stafford-house, that I endeavoured, after all other
means had failed, to obtain payment by putting an execu-
tion into the M.P.'s house. The execution produced exactly*
V. 3s. 4d. ! The sofas which he pressed, the plate he
used, the horses he rode, were all hired, and his person
was of coin-se protected ; but the sheriff ingeniously con;
trived to seize a few books, including The Whole Duty of
Man, which the M.P. had overlooked in his general
arrangements. Now, Sir, can you not rectify your list by
inserting my name for the balance of the 301., after giving.
credit for 21. 3s. 4d., instead of the name of my gallant
and " honourable " debtor,_ and thus oblige your obedient
servant, THE EXECUTION CREDITOR."
FIRST MEETING OF THE NEW BURIAL BOARD IN ST.
PANcßAS.—Yesterday, pursuant to a notice signed by two
of its members, the Burial Board, recently appointed
under the New Metropolitan Interments Act, 15 and 16
Vic., cap. 85, met for the first time in the Vestry
King's-road, Camden-town, for the purpose of taking the
necessary steps to put in force the enactments of this salu-
tary measure. The Rev. Thomas Dale, the vicar, in the
chair, and the other eight members of the board present,
namely, J. P. Pierce and W. Billett, churchwardens ;
Henry Stock, Esq., J. P., W. D. Cooper, F. Henley, Mor-
timore Timpson, H. Farrar, and R. F. Brittinghani.
After some preliminary business, and the Rev. T. Dale
having been nominated perpetual chairman, the board pro-
ceeded to appoint a clerk, the choice falling unanimously
upon Mr. G. W. F. Cook, solicitor to the parish. It was
also agreed that meetings of the board should be held on
the first Monday of each month, and that an application
should be made to the vestry for the use of offices in the
vestry building wherein to carry on the affairs of the
board. The board then broke up.
THE BONAPARTE FAMILY.—In a list of the members
of the Bonaparte family, which appeared in our columns,
and in those of some other journals, a few weeks since, the
names of five children were given as those of the Right
Hon. Thomas Wyse, the present Ambassador of England
at Athens, and of his rife, Letitia, the daughter of Lucien
Bonaparte. We have authority for stating that there
have been but two children (sons), Alfred Napoleon Wyse
and William Charles Wyse, by that marriage. A legal
separation took place between the parties in the year 1828.
RAILWAY AND CANAL BlLLS.—Yesterday the first re-
port from the select committee on railway and canal bills
was issued, stating, "that it is the opinion of this com-
mittee that all railway bills introduced into the house,
during the present session, should, as a general rule, be
made integral in themselves, and that the greatest caution
should be exercised in admitting into them, otherwise than
by specific enactment, provisions which repeal, continue,
or extend the power of former acts, and that the attention
of committees on private bills should be directed to this
point."

THE STEAM-SHIP GLASGOW.—This fine ship sailed
from the Clyde on Thursday evening, for New
with 55 passengers, and the most valuable cargo of ma-
nufactured goods which ever cleared out from Glasg?'o6
Custom-house the estimated value in the books being
151,825/.York,
