DEATH OF MR. PENNELL, OF THE FOREIGN-OFFICE.
—We have to announce the death of John Croker Pennaf
one of the senior clerks of the Foreign-office, who died on
Saturday morning at Mrs. Croker's apartments at Kensing-
ton Palace. Mr. Pennell was a nephew of the Right Non.
'John Wilson Croker, and a son-in-law of the late Sir Wm.
Follett. He was appointed to a clerkship in the Foreign'
office during the time the Earl of Aberdeen was Secretor,'
of State for Foreign Affairs, in the spring of 1844. The
deceased gentleman accompanied his Excellency Sir Henri
Bulwer to Washington in Nov., 1849, and was attached to
the Legation till Aug., 1851. He was promoted to a senior
clerkship in 18G3. It is said that ho died from cancer, and
had been ill only a few months.
GENERAL GRANT AND MR. SEWARD.—A corre-
spondent to the Eastern Press writes that General
Grant had a most affecting interview with Secretor/
Seward, a few days since. Tho secretary grasped the
general's hand with great emotion, and exclaimed, Thank
God, General Grant, you are alive !" The general, who is
so stoical amid scenes of carnage, broke down completely
The sight was a shocking one, for the two dreadful gashes
on each side of the face so disfigured tho grey-haired old
man that his friends can scarcely recognise him.
THE CAPTURE OF JEFFERSON DAVIS. --The
" petticoat stories" of Mr. Davis's capture are pro-
nounced by the Now York Daily News to be "purely the
inventions of imaginative correspondents." That journal
says :—"Mr. Davis's first proceeding upon being so rudely
awakened would naturally have been to draw on his dress-
ing-gown—a convenience inseparable from officers of rank
when at leisure from camp duties. The Michigan cavalry'
men, not being familiar with that somewhat feminine:
looking article of attire, might naturally have mistaken It
for a lady's wrapper ; and their imaginations furnishing
them with all the details of womanly accoutrement, it was
easy for a little camp-fire colouring to finish the picture
so greedily accepted at headquarters. This system of per-
secution adopted against a fallen foe is unworthy of Awe+
cans. Men of honour may kill their vanquished enemies
—they do not insult them."

THE LATE STORMY WEATHER.—The severe gale
of last week appears to have caught a fleet of north
country colliers on their passage to the Baltic, and has
done a great deal of mischief. intelligence has reached
Hartlepool of the loss of the laden brig Queen, of that port,
with all hands, at the north of the Cattegat. She Wes
bound to Cronstadt. Eight persons have been drowned
with her—Mr. Work, the master, W. H. Ferguson, the
mate, John Seal, James Haywood, and Joseph Jackson,
able seamen, were all married, and have left families. Til°
brig Carron, of North Shields, and the brig Recovery, 01
South Shields, have also been lost, but their crews, er°
saved. On Sunday the weather had entirely changed iu
the north, and was beautifully fine.
THE PENSION FOR MRS. COBDEN.—It has bee'
understood for some time past that the Government
were disposed to grant a pension to Mrs. Cobden as e 113;
cognition of the eminent services of Mr. Cobden in cone°";
Lion with the negotiation of the Commercial Treaty with
France. We are enabled to state that the offer has hula
made in a letter from Lord Palmerston, and that t'lv
amount of the proposed pension was £1,500 per annum
during the life of Mrs. Cobden. We may further
that Mrs. Cobden has declined the: offered pension,
ci3,
the same time expressing her grateful sense of the kini
ness manifested towards her by the Crown and the i„
nistration. The public will be glad to know that DJ;
family of the lamented statesman are left in circurastattect
that make any provisions on the part of the Goverrallell
unnecessary.
ASSESSMENT OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND.---Tifi
Bank of England has been assessed at the gross aen?;„,
value of £47,000 by the Assessment Committee of the """10.
of London Union. The former assessment was sornethip°
like a fourth of that sum ; but the increased amount IS C.:
sidered by the committee to be strictly fair and 0(1'13% .
We understand that the Bank authorities have gtvell.oo°
tice of appeal. Under the Union Assessment Conan,'" I,
Act, the rateablo value of property in the City has be.eoh
equalised. Tho disparity between the amount at Ito
premises were previously assessed and the present T,,,st
has in many instances been very great. Perhaps the w;s„,
proof of the efficiency with which tho City Union As:tit
ment Committee have discharged the delicate and die'e
duty entrusted to them is given by the fact that theiligo.
not had ono appeal to the sessions against their deci'9lo
