THE LATE FIELD-MARSHAL COUNT
VON DIEBITSCH SABALKANSKI.-This celebrated chief-
tain, descended from an ancient and noble Silesian
family, at the period of his death was exactly 46 years of
age, having been born May 13, 1785. In his earliest
years, it is said, the Field-Marshal had so singularly re-
tentive a memory, that when he had attained his fourth
year he was capable of resolving arithmetical questions
with greater readiness than most adults. He commenced
his military career in the Prussian service, but, upon his
father accepting a Major-Generalship on the Staff of the
Emperor PAUL, the King of PRUSSIA allowed him to
resign his commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Prus-
sian army. In the conflict at Austerlitz be was wounded
by a spent ball, which lodged in the palm of his hand.
The Marshal also distinguished himself in the actions of
Eylau and Friedland, and in the celebrated campaign of

1812. At Dresden he received a severe contusion,- and
had two horses killed under him. The Marshal was mar-
ried in 1815 to JANE, Baroness de TORNAU, niece to the
lady of Prince BARCLAY DE ToLLY. Of this marriage
there was no issue, and at his death he was in the first
year of his widowhood.
BARONIES IN ABEYANCE.—There have
been presented to his MAJESTY a petition from Huott
SCOTT, Esq., claiming the Barony of " Pot rwA RT ;" and
one from ROBERT WILSON, Esq., claiming to be one of the
heirs of the " BERNERS" Barony, and praying for a ter-
mination of the abeyance in his favour. His MAJESTY
forwarded the same to the House of Lords, and their Lord-
ships have ordered them to be considered in a Committee
of Privileges. _ _

On Monday last, as a barge laden with lime
was proceeding up the Ouse, from Lewes, from some cause
or other it sunk near Barcombe. The effect on the fish
in the river Ras instantly manifested; hundreds rose to
the surface, and a great number were taken by band.

NOTICE EXTRAORDINARY.—The following
advertisement was once posted up in a country tavern by
the preceptor of the village academy Whereas several
idle and disorderly persons have lately made a practice of
riding an ass belonging to Mr. --- up and down the 1
academy stairs ; now, lest any accident should happen, he
takes this method of informing the public that he is deter-
mined to shoot this said ass, and cautions any person who may
be riding it at the time to take care of himself, lest by some
unfortunate mistake he should shoot the wrong one."
Mr.
Jack up and down stairs.—New York Evening Journal.
