PRICE OF COALS.-At a dinner given at the
Mansion House on Wednesday the Lord Mayor as-
sured the company that in a short time the very best
coals would be sold in London at less than 225. the
ton. Till the public were let into the secret -they paid
365. for those called the best. This will make a dif-
ference of I4s. on each ton, and save the inhabitants
of London 35,000/. a week, or 1,820,0001. a year, on
one of the necessaries of life. Can we wonder that
the parties who share this plunder are making the most
bitter and malignant attacks on the Chief Magistrates
for not allowing them, according to the good old prac-
tice, to keep up " steady prices." . But this Prince of
Radicals, as they call his Lordship, will be found " too
hard" for them.

Tull NEW SPANISH LOAN.—We advise all
those who have any doubts about Spanish credit, or who
may be inclined to try their luck in this precious scheme,
to read carefully what Lord Melbourne said last even-
ing. The Marquis of Londonderry has not always been
very discreet either in making motions or following
them up, but this explanation which he drew from Lord
Melbourne covers a multitude of sins. The Prime Mi-
nister seemed at a loss to find words sufficiently
strong to express his feelings on the subject—
" He begged leave most distinctly to state that Go-
vernment not only had not sanctioned in any respect
that loan, but had not done anything, or said anything,
that could in the slightest degree amount to anything
like an encouragement of that loan, so as in the slightest
degree to induce any person to enter into it, or to be
considered afterwards as having imposed on themselves
in the slightest degree any responsibility or connection
with those who might be induced to enter into that
loan, or to engage in that speculation."
Lord Gort was sworn in as an Irish Privy Conn-
cillorat Dublin on Saturday.

The freemen of the Dublin Corporation are about
to meet on the subject of the "inevitable" Irish Municipal Bill, in
opposition to the views of the selfish part of the present corporators.
DEATH OF LADY FITZGERALD.—WC have
to record the death of the above estimable lady, which took place on
Sunday last, at the family seat, near Cashel. Her late Ladyship
was wife of Sir John J. Fitzgerald, Bart. Her Ladyship's death
proceeded from a fever, shortly after her accouchernent.

DEATH OF VICE-ADMIRAL SIR GEORGE
EYRE.—The death of the above Gallant Admiral took place en
Thursday, at Carlton, after a short illness.

The Hon. Jervis, eldest son of Viscount
St. Vincent, died a few days since, at his residence at Nitton, Isle
of Wight, after several weeks' illness.

HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS.—Mr. Blagrove's
second Quartet Concert took place last night before a very numerous
audience at these rooms. His bill of fare contained a quintet of
Onslow, a quartet by Mozart, and a sonata for violin and pianoforte,
with a quartet by Beethoven. The quintet (01). 19) was a fine and
masterlike composition, admirably played, and almost encored. The
sonata was efficiently supported by Blagrove on the violin and
Shultz on the pianoforte, and the two quartets were sustained with
the usual spirit vrid delicacy of this party. Miss Birch and Miss
Wyndham were the vocalists of the evening.
DEATH OF THE EARL OF ZETLAND.—WC
regret to have to announce the death of the Earl of Zetland, which
took place rather suddenly on Tuesday last, at Croke Hall, the
family seat, near Richmond, Yorkshire, after an illness of only a few
hours. The late Noble Earl appeared quite well on the previous
day, but on arising the following morning, his Lordship complained
of a giddiness; he fell into a slumber at noon, and expired without
a sigh, at three o'clock in the afternoon. The late Earl was born the
the 10th of April, 1766, and was consequently in his 74th year, and
succeeded his father, the first Baron Dundas, the 14th of June,
IEOO. His Lordship married on the 21st of April, 1794, Miss Har.
riet Hale, the daughter of General Hale; he was Lord Lieutenant
of Orkney and Shetland. Lord and Lady Dundas, now Earl and
Countess of Zetland, left town immediately on receiving the melan-
choly intelligence, for Yorkshire. The late Earl is succeeded in his
titles and estates by Lord Dundas, M.P. for Richmond during seven
Parliaments, who was born the sth of February, 1795, and married
September 6, 1823, Miss Sophia Williamson, daughter of the lat.;
and sister of the present Sir Hedworth Williamson, Bart. The late
Peer was created Earl of Zetland by the present Ministry, at the
Coronation of her Majesty, in June last. In consequence of Lord
Dundas occupying a seat in the House of Lords, a vacancy occurs
in the representation of Richmond, Yorkshire. The Earl of Zet.
land was sworn in Lord Lieutenant of Yorkshire at the Privy Conn.
ed., last week.
The Dublin Tory papers claim a majority of 22
in their favour on the result of the registration going on for that city.
