Death of Viscount Sidmouth.

The Right Hon. William Leonard Addington, Viscount
Sidmouth of Sidmouth, county Devon, in the peerage of
the United Kingdom, died on Friday last at his seat,
Albury, near Guildford, Surrey. The deceased nobleman,
who was in holy orders, had been in declining health for some
months past. He was the only surviving son of the
eminent statesman, Henry, first viscount, who was for 12
years Speaker of the House of Commons, and who suc-
ceeded Pitt as Prime Minister in 1801, by that nobleman's
first wife, Ursula Mary, daughter and co-heir of Mr. Leonard
Hammond, of Cheam, Surrey. The late peer was born
Nov. 13, 1794, consequently he was in his 70th year. lie
married April 20, 1820, Mary, eldest daughter of the late
Rev. John Young, by whom—who survives her husband
he had a numerous family, three sons and five daughters
being still alive. The late peer succeeded to the title on the
death of his venerable father, who died at a great age in
February, 1844. He is now succeeded in the House of
Lords by his eldest surviving son, the Hon. William Wells
Addington, M.P. for Devizes, born March 25, 1824, and
married Sept. 28, 1848, to his cousin, Georgiana Susan,
eldest daughter of the Hon. and Very Rev. George Pellew,
Dean of Norwich, by which lady he has a youthful family.
His iordship was formerly in the navy, and obtained his
commission as lieutenant in 1846. By his accesion to the
Upper House a vacancy will take place in the House of
Commons for the borough of Devizes, by which constituency
the hon. gentleman was elected on the death of Captain
J. N. Gladstone, R.N., brother of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, in 1862.

FRENCH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.—At the lat
sitting M. Fiourens, in adverting to the death of
a woman at Rome (already mentioned by us) at the age
of 122, remarked that instances of persons dy;a2; at the age
of 100 and even 110 are not rare, and that he called the
normal limit of life; but that, as to the age of 122, he CO
sidered it the extreme limit, which, however, could net be
fixed with great precision, owing to the paucity of cases 00
record. A letter was received from M, Lartet, stating that
the Due de Luynes, on his arrival at lieyrouth, in the first
days of the present month, visited several caverns in the
neighbourhood in company with M. Lartet. These cavern!)
had been described 30 years ago by M. Botta, who had ab'
served a kind of breccia or pudding stone there, containing
bones and remains of pottery. The Due de Luynes, having;
caused one of these caverns, from which the Dog river
(Lycus of the ancients, Nahr el Kelb of the Arabs) fbrel't
to be explored, found it to contain many fossil remains
herbivore, and a quantity of flint implements, similar to,
those found in Europe.—M. Ramon de la Sagra sent in
curious paper on the fecundity observable in the island ol
Cuba. In the town of Trinidad, counting 11,463 souls, 0
°
married couple had 21 children, another 18, and a thir,":
16; two had 21 each, two 15 each, and ten 13 each
all alive in one case. At Santo Espiritu (12,850 snal"(i
the issue of seven couples ranged between 29 el%
19 children each; three had 18 each, two 17, and thr,eLi;
ranged between 16 and 13. At Villa-Clara (15,511) _
issue of four marriages ranged between 23 and 20 ati)drea o
each; of two 18 each; :one couple had 16, three 14, and t 49113.0
13. In one of the latter cases, the husband was 88, and the
wife 85; only five of their daugLters were still alive; td,
family comprised 85 grand-children and 100 great-gran
tia
children, Many Cuban women become mothers at 13%

VIONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The demand for monetary accommodation still
continues very active, and 6 per cent. is in most
instances the general quotation in the open market
for first class short dated securities. The increased
icquiry now experienced is considered to be only
of a temporary nature, and when provision has been
made for the settlement at the Stock Exchange, and
all payments have been completed in connection
With the revenue account, it was thought that the
market would assume an easier appearance. A
sudden and unfavourable change has, however,
taken place in the Paris exchanges, and as the
alteration will admit of gold being sent to France
from this country, the expectation of a reduction
in the official quotation is now remote.
About £60,000 in gold was withdrawn from the
Bank yesterday for exportation to the continent.
There was no material alteration in the foreign
exchanges yesterday afternoon.
The Stock Exchange Committee have appointed
April 4 a special settling day in the shares of the
Gellivara Company and the British and Californian
Banking Company, both of which are to be officially
marked.

Two o'CLocx.

At Paris this day, eccording to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 65f. 80e.;
Iteavy.
It was unanimously agreed to-day at a special
Daeeting- to change the name of the Intercolonial

At the first ordinary meeting to-day of the Lon-
don and South AmsArican Bank—Mr. W. C. .Toaes
in the chair—the ret.",rt, recommending an amal-
-1111:nation with the_Mexican Bank, was adopted.
A dividend of 63. per share, being at the rate of
10 per cent. per annum, was also agreed to.
Very little movement has occurred to-day in the
market for Eaglish Funds, which have continued
inactive. Consols are 941 for transfer, and 911
for the account. Speculation is exceedingly limited,
and there is scarcely any demand for stock on
behalf,of the investing public. The New Threes and
Reduced Annuities are quoted 891 1; Exchequer
Bills, Bs. to 33. dis. ; India 5 per Cents., 104 ; and
the Debentures, 99Z 1.
In the Foreign Market there is not much anima-
nation, and prices are tolerably steady. Turkish 6

Greek, 231 24; Spanish Passive, 35Z 36f; Mexican,
44:.4; Portuguese, 481 I; Italian, 66,1 67; and the
Confederate Loan, 53 55.
In the Rahway Share Market to• day there has
been very little animation, the dealers and specula-
tore being occupied with the adjustment of the
ace"hte. Prices, however, generally exhibit more
firmness. South Western, North Eastern (Ben.
Wick), Lancashire, and Yorkshire, and Great Eastern
have improved about ss.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have been
Without change of importance.
Batik and Miscellaneous shares have continued
ill fair request. London and County reealise 601 1;
European, 11 to 111 ; Metropolitan and Provincial,
.2,„71 ; International Financial, 11Z 12 ; and Royal
'Jail Steam were improved to 691.
