DEATH OF CAPTAIN ANDREW C. O'MALLEY.-
The decease of this gentleman took place at his residence,
Newcastle, on Tuesday last, after a prolonged illness, much
regretted by his acquaintances, and deeply mourned by his
numerous relations and connexions. Captain O'Malley was
the last surviving brother of the late gallant Major-General
George O'Malley, C. 8., whose military renown will ever live
in our history, and of Major Owen O'Malley, our much
regretted friend. The remains of Captain O'Malley were'
conveyed to the family vault, Murrisk Abbey, on Friday last,
accompanied by a large assembly of friends and relations.—

DEURY•LANE THEATRE. —The promised ballet of
Vert- Vert is to be produced here this evening, as we under-
stand, with very great splendour ; and the re-appearance of
Mademoiselle Plunkett is, of itself, quite enough to create
unusual attraction. The additional title of The Pet Parrot is
given to the ballet, the term of Vert- Vert not being quite so
familiar to the English as the French public.
We are informed that the Bishop of Meath, in con-
sequence of his late dangerous illness, has been prohibited by
his medical attendants from attending his Parliamentary
duties for some time.
The stringency with which the Mint is enforcing
its rules, with reference to the receipt of gold ingots inferior
to the standard, has caused a slight alteration to become
necessary in the rate at which the Bank of England pur-
chases American and French gold coin. Hitherto the prices
paid have been 3/. 16s. 2 t4cl. per ounce for American eagles,
and 31. 163. 2d. for French 20-franc pieces, but these left no
margin (except an insufficient one of /2d, in
Thatthelatteexrpceanssee)
for the expense of the refining process which is requisite
before they can be coined into soverei
amounts to about Id., and hence, under the prospect or
o
ea eagles,
es,
tinuous arrivals, such as to render the point one of import.-
ante, the purchasing rate for the future will be
American reduced to
31. 16s. 14„d.. which will equally apply to
French pieces, and Dutch guilders. With regard to the
purchase that of gold ingots, it is understood also
will take them .at the rate of 3/. 17s. Dd. per ounce of
-at the Bank
standard gold," only when the parcel shall iu the aggregate
be of a quality equal or superior to the standard of 22 caws
line, and be fit for coinage without going through the pro-
cess of refinage. For the
the Bank will h convenience of. the sellers, how-
ever,pure ase gold ingots of a quality not
under 21 carats fine, on receiving an allowance equivalent to '
the expense of raising it to standard.
We believe that the Cape Screw Steam Navigation
Company have obtained the contract for conveying the
mails to the Mauritius, Ceylon, and Calcutta, in opposition
to several other tenders which have been submitted to the
Government.
