THE LATE LORD LYTTLETON.—TbiS Intiebie
regretted nobleman, who died at the mansion of his 1430,
brother-in-law, Earl Spencer, in St. James's-place, en A'icer
day, was in his fifty-sixth year, and succeeded his half-broth
George Fulke, the second Lord, in 1828. His Lordsphir,
married, in March, 1813, Lady Sarah Spencer, eldest dtago,

by whom he had a family of three sons and two dang°,lest
His Lordship is succeeded in his title and estates by his e` ho,
son, the Hon. George William (now Lord) Lyttleton,
we believe, is a student at the University. The Lord-Lieay
tenancy of Worcestershire, to which the deceased peer n„
appointed on the death of Lord Foley, has become vacant

We regret to have to record the demise of Sir I°'

ceeded his father, Sir Gervase, on the 26th September, 1,116;
He was the seventh Baronet, and served the office of s'e•
Sheriff in 1820. As he dies unmarried, the title devolves o 1

DR. DALTON.—By this time, probably, this
man is no more. He lived long enough to establish a laitinsf,
fame. His modest and energetic- genius, his severe exl3°o-t
tion of the atomic theory, connect his memory with the rii°b,
illustrious natural philosophers that ever adorned the earth,
We fear that before these lines can meet the public eye 0
will be no more. As for himself, he was one of the 0°
blameless and useful of his race.—Manchester Advertiser.
