DEATH OF THE EARL OF ABINGDON.—We are sorry
to announce the demise of the Earl of Abingdon, which
took place a little before 7 o'clock last evening, at
Wytham Abbey, about 3 miles from Oxford. His lord-
ship has for many years past suffered from a disease of
the bladder, and has undergone surgical operations at
various times ; but latterly has appeared to be in toler-
able health. He was taken ill yesterday morning, and
his medical attendant, Mr. Symonds, of Oxford, was
sent for, and found him in so dangerous a state that it
was deemed expedient to call in Dr. Acland. It was
soon evident, from the stage the disease had attained,
that his lordship's recovery was hopeless, and he died, as
stated, last evening. His lordship, who was in his 71st
year, was Lord-Lieutenant of Berkshire and High
Steward of the borough of Abingdon: He is succeeded
by his son, Lord Norreys, who represeets the borough
of Abingdon in Parliament.

awoke with choleraic symptoms. Mr. A. Pritchard,
Burgeon, and Dr. Budd, were summoned with all de-
spatch, bnt collapse rapidly ensued, and at 11 o'clock
the lamented gentleman had ceased to live.—Bristol
paper.
LORD CHARLES IVELLESLEY.—We are sorry tO Con-
tradict the statement recently published, that the eye-
sight of this highly respected nobleman was greatly im-
proved, but we are afraid no improvement has taken
place, although hopes are entertained such may be the
cam —Sunday Times.
ROYAL NAVAL BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.—The usual
quarterly meeting of this society was held yesterday, in
the Thatched-house Tavern. Vice-Admiral Lord Rad-
stock presided. Amongst the officers present were
Admirals Sir W. O. Pell, Hollinswerth, and Allen ; Sir
Benjamin Outram, C. 8., &c. Mr. Riccalton, late Pay-
master Royal Navy, was appointed secretary, in the
place of Mr. Skead, deceased. The Duke of Northumber-
land was elected vice-president, in the room of Sir G.
Cockburn.
THANKSGIVING FOR THE HARVEST.—The deacons of
Bloomsbury chapel have sent tol the committee of the
North London or University College Hospital, by Mr. R.
W. Cook, out of consideration for the large demands on
the hospital occasioned by the late severe epidemic, the
sum of .50/., a portion of the contribution by the congre-

Rev. William Brock, as a thank-offering for the late
abundant harvest.

of this borough on Saturday, in the Guildhall, for the
purpose of opening a subscription for the immediate re-
lief of the sick and wounded, and the wives and families
of those who have fallen at the battle of the Alma. Other
towns will doubtless follow the example without delay.
NOBLE EXAMPLE.—On Saturday a voluntary contri-
bution was made by the officers of the S division of po-
lice, in aid of the widows and orphans of the brave fellows
employed in active service in the East, and the sum of
121. 10s. was paid into the bankers' hands, in aid of the

F RIG
ageduTr 30,u8 ACCIDENT. A SOLDIER KICKED TO
DEATII.—A private in the 15th Hussars, named Thomas
Gibbs,
has met with his death under Indian-
, choly circumstances near the Topsham-road, Barracks.
On Monday, it appears, a young troop horse belonging
to the regiment was ridden by Gibbs, and as it was not
thoroughly broken in he had some difficulty in managing
it. When between the barracks and St. Leonard's
Church the animal shied, and jerked his rider into the
road, when the horse dashed out his hind legs and
kicked poor Gibbs frightfully about the temples. He
was removed to the barracks, where he remained un-
conscious until Wednesday, when. he died.. '.Girths fol-
lowing day the deceased was interred in the burial-
ground of the parish church of Ileavitree, with full
Wiry honours,—Flymout4
