DEATH of the DUCHESS-COUNTESS

OF SUTHERLAND.

We regret to announce the death of her Grace Elizabeth
Duchess-Countess of Sutherland, who expired yesterday at
her residence in Hamilton-place, after a short illness. The
Duchess-Countess was in the seventy-fourth year of her age,
having been born on the 24th of May 1765. Iler Grace was
Countess of Sutherland in her own right, the origin of which
title is lost in its antiquity. In 1766, when under two years
of age, she succeeded her father, William, the eighteenth
Earl of Sutherland, who died at Bath in June of that year, a
few days after the death of his Countess. On the 4th of Sep-
, t,.mber, 1785, she was married to George Grenville Viscount
Trentham, who succeeded his father as Marquis of Stafford in
1803. and was created Duke of Sutherland early in 1833. The
late Duke died at Dunrobin Castle, on the 19th of July, 1833,
leaving issue the present Duke of Sutherland, the Countess of
Surrey, the Countess Grosvenor, and Lord Francis Egerton.
A Correspondent has sent us the following :
" During Monday and )esterday her medical attendants, Sir
Henry Halford, Dr. Chalmers, and D. Holland, gave little
or no hope of her recovery. The pangs of death were un-
known to that estimable lady, for she departed to a better and
purer world without a sigh, having her bed surrounded by her
dearest ties. The Countess of Surrey came to town from
Littlehampton. and Lord and Lady Francis Egerton, who
have been visiting the Duke of Wellington, at Strathfieldsaye,
also came to town, and were present at the dissolution of their
revered parent. The inquiries yesterday after her Grace's
health were very numerous, and we believe that the Countess
of Clarendon called several times, so anxious was her Ladyship
after the health of her old and esteemed friend. By the death
of her Grace several distinguished families are placed in mourn-
ing. An express was forwarded to the Duke and Duchess of
Sutherland, at Rome, to inform them of their unexpected
bereavement."

The real cause of Peter Purcell's ire against
Mr. O'Connell is but little known. The fact we have ascer-
tained to be this-- Wr. O'Connell refused to recommend him
as a candidate to the electors of Kildare for the next vacancy,
which is reserved in preference for the Duke of Leinster's
eldest son, who is on the eve of his majority.—Limerick
Chronicle.

MASTER 0 WEN.—We understand that Master
Owen, who has performed the character of Oliver Twist up.
wards of sixty nights at the Surrey Theatre, intends taking
for his first benefit Richard the Third. He will himself sus
tain the arduous character of Richard. Master Owen's ,n-
-gagement at the Surrey ceases at the termination of Oliver
Twist.

THE VACANT CORONERSHIP.—A public meet-
ing of Mr. Waklcy's friends took place last evening at the
Crown and Anchor, when various resolutions were passed in
his favour. Mr, Wakley sta•ed his intention, should he be
elected as Coroner, to resign his seat in Parliament if he found
the duties of the two offices incompatible with each other.
He thought, however, he could attend to his legislative duties
as efficiently as those lawyers who were in full practice. On
Monday a meeting of the friends of Mr. C. F. Adey was held
at Barnard's Inn-hall, Holborn, for the purpose of receiving
a communication respecting the intention of that gentleman
to contest the election of Coroner for the county of Middlesex.
Mr. Adey on the occasion addressed his friends, and intimated
that lie had thought it right for the present to withdraw from
the-contest, reserving the right of offering himself again should
circumstances allow him so to do.
It was anticipated that the Act for permitting the
sale of game would cause its destruction, but the prediction
has failed, for it has been, since the Act passed, in great
abundance, and the sport excellent throughout this season,
which ends on Friday next.
ENTERTAINMENT TO MR. HUNIE.—On Monday
morning a meeting of the friends and supporters of Mr. Joseph
Hume, M. P., was held at the residence of Mr. Scares, 23,
Surrey street, Strand, for the purpose of taking into conside-
ration the must efficient measures to be adopted for the pre-
sentation of a valuable service' of, plate to Mr. Hume, as a
testimonial of their esteem and respect. Sir J. S. Lillie was
unanimously called on to preside. From the discussion that
ensued, it appeared that some time since subscriptions com-
menced in the Tower Hamlets, and in several other districts,
and in the parishes of Middlesex, but it had not yet been de-
termined on whether the subscription should be local or ge-
neral. It was originally determined that the entertainment
should take place on the 12th of February (Shrove Tuesday).
Mr. Hume preferred the following day ( Ash Wednesday),
but this was overruled. It has now been resolved that the
dinner shall be held on the first Wednesday after the Easter
recess.

In the course of a trial in the Sheriff's Court, yes-
