to
learn that. this gentleman, so well known for his sorry
ycor:
nexio.n with the Anti-Corn-law League, and for the
prominent part which for many years be took in local
and general politics in Manchester, died at his residence.
Clarendon-house, Cheetham- hill, on Saturday last.
Though for a year or more in tailing health, which had
led him to withdraw from busines, Mr. Brooks had been
for some short time past somewhat bettor, and able to
take carriage exercise; and on the Sunday preceding
his decease he had attended church. On Friday last.
however, he had a seizure, said to have been caused by
some sudden pressure on the spinal marrow, which ter-
minated his lite on the following day. M. r. Brooks was
in his 63d year. He was in the commission of thepeace
for the borough. His munificent benevolence and warm
heart will long live in the memory of those who knew
him.—Manchester Guardian.

had volunteered their services. This is not correct, as
they attended by the express command of her Majesty,
as her guard of honour.

LAUNCH.—On Tuesday, at the top of the tide, the
General Steam Navigation Company launched another
very fine iron steamer of 700 tons burthen, from the
building-yard of Messrs. Mare, Blackwell. She was
named the Rhine.
