DEATH OF LADY RAGLAN.—We regret to learn
that Lady Raglan died on Saturday after a very short ill-
ness. Her ladyship was the only daughter of the late Gene-
ral the Earl Beauchamp. She was born in 1832, and leaves
a youthful family by Lord. Raglan, to whom she was married
in September, 1856.

m'DEATH OF THE DUKE DE GRAMONT CARDEROUSSE,
well known on the turf and in other haunts of the
Paris fashionable world. His elder brother, who was in
the Diplomatic service, having been drowned, he came to
_ _

the title in the year 1854. The disease that carried him off
was an:affection of thelungs. The title of carderousse has
expired with him. His fortune was considerably impaired
by prodigality, but what remains of it—said to be stil
something considerable—he has bequeathed to his phy-
sician, Dr. Desclot, with the exception of a legacy of
£2,000 to some other person.

HARVEST OF CANADA.—The Governor-General
has issued his proclamation, appointing Thursday, 0ct.12,
a day of general thanksgiving for the bountiful harvest.
THE EMPEROR, says the Courrier des Bayonne,
" who had originally intended not to stop at Bordeaux,
either in going or returning from Biarritz, is said to have
favourably entertained the invitation addressed to him by
the municipality that city. It is now affirmed that her
Majesty will remain a short time in the capital of the
Gironde, where magnificent fetes will be given in his
honour.

THE " DINING 11,0 031 " gives some trustworthy
details concerning the produce in 1865 of the most
celebrated Burgundy vineyards. Roman6e-Conti has
yielded 11 casks, or 280 to 300 dozen; Clos Vougeot, 250
casks ; and Ohambertin-Ouvrard, 20 casks. The vintage
took place on the 12th, 13th, and 14th inst., in tremendously
hot weather. The grapes were literally roasted. The
quality of the wine is expected to be very good.
THE POPULATION OF THE WORLD.--At the pre-
sent time the population of the world is estimated
to amount to 1,000,000,000 of persons, speaking 3,064
languages, and professing 1,100 forms of religion. The
average duration of human ;life is estimated at 33 years
and six months. A quarter of the children born die before
their seventh year, and one-half before their 17th. Out of
the 1,000,000,000 persons living, 33,000,000 die each year,
91,000 each day, 3,730 each hour, 60 each minute, and con-
sequently ono every second. These 33,000,000 deaths aro
counterbalanced by 41,500,000 births—the excess being
the annual increase of the human race. It has been re-
marked that births and deaths are more frequent in the
night than during the day. Calculating one marriage for
every 120 persons of both sexes and of all ages, 83,000,000
are celebrated annually.

liars—Mandeville and Mendez Pinto—was good enough
lately to wonder that I should be so sensitive about being
accused of falsehood in narrating that which I had seen
in the course of travel ; so that I may be taunted for
doubting whether any testimony of mine respecting what
Mexico is or is not like can be received as credible
evidence. It is refreshing, is it not, for one whose life has
been passed in wandering up and down and going to and
fro on the earth in quest of truth, to be called by a scurrile
