The Countess of ELDON, who died last
Tuesday, was the eldest daughter of AUBONE SURTEES,
Esq., of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. This was what was
called in the North " a runaway match," and excited at
the time considerable displeasure in the young lady's fa.
mily. When the marriage took place Lord anoN was
a plain-plodding Chancery Barrister, regularly going the
Northern Circuit, and getting few briefs; however, his
unwearied industry, and consummate devotion to the law,
and his subserviency to the politics of Mr. PITT, gradually
emancipated hint float the difficulties under which he la-
boured in early lire. The rigid economy and p irsiroonioui
habits of his wife, together with his own advancement to
ihe highest honours and emoluments of his profession.
have enabled him to realise one of the largest fortunes in
the kingdom.

Air. Sergeant RUSSELL and Mr. RICHARD
GODSON, M.P. for St. Albans, have announced their in•
t'ntion of becoming candidates to represent the town of
Kidderminster on the passing of the Reform Lill. The
first-named gentleman canvassed the inhabitants last week.
A third candidate, a resident of the neighlmrhood, is
also spoken of

A great sensation, as the phrase is, has been
exc'ted in the City by the exhibitio❑ of the new coin for
Fiance. On one side of this coin is a well-executed head
of the Duke de BORDEAUX, the son of the Duchess de
BERRI surrounded by the words " HENRI V., Roi de
France," and on the obverse, the fleur-de-lys. The coin
is said to be exceedingly well graved, and we understand
was manufactured in Birmingham, which is now not only
the toy shop of the world, but the general nursery of the
fine arts. The value of the new coin is five francs, and
the number coined is said to amount to 50,0001. star-
ling. It is added that considerable quantities have been
• sent to La Vendee and other parts of France. The
Courier further informs us that proclamations, in the:
name of HENRY the Fifth, have been printed for da-
tribution ; and that, at this moment, active proceed-
ings are going on in Italy, among the partisans of
CnAttLEs the Tepid', to effect a counter-revolution
in France. Now it is quite certain, we believe,
that the coin and the proclamations have been manu-
factured in this country; or, in other words, the ene-
mies of the present Government of France have taken
advantage of the shelter afforded them in England, to carry
on treasonable practices against one of our Allies. There
can be no doubt that the Government will immediately
institute an inquiry into this affeir, and, we should im-
agine, there can be little doubt, if the above stat•ments
turn out to be correct, that CHARLES X. and his follower,
will be ordered to quit the country. From the first land-
ing of the Ex-King-in England we pro.ested against his
being allowed to reside here, being perfectly satisfied that.
he would be carrying on all sot is of intrigues against the
Government of Louts Prtirterc. But our Cabinet not
only allowed CHARLES X to reside here, but they gave
him a Royal Palace as his place of residence. Every one
must allow that the interests of this country could in no
way be promoted by the residence of such a personage
amongst us.—Morning Herald.

The main object of Don PED no's visit to this
country is to secure an English education for his daugh-
ter. It is understood that he has sent for Count FUNCSAL
from Rome, and Count PALMELLA, from Terceira, and
that his daughter will be educated under their care and the
superintendence of our QUEEN. The French Govern-
ment has provided a residence for Don PEnao and the Ex-
EMPRESS, and their attendants, at Caen, and undertaken
to defray all the expences of their residence there. The
late KING so dismantled all our palaces as to pat it out of
the power of tha British Government to offer a similar ac-
commodation. Don l'Enno has no design to claim the
Government of Portaual for himself, and is principally
concern d, as already observed, to secure a British educa-
tion f r his daughter.

his diplomatic agents, are not a little
curious. Last autumn, after his accession to the throne,,
he usually avoided the phrase "we order." Ilis nomina-
tions to office ran thus—" Louis Philip, King of the French :
A. B. is nominated to such a prefecture." Now the Mu-
niteur exhibits the regular form of the ancient regime, ex-
cept in so far as the " Grace of Gun" is omitted. The.
following is now the form :--" Louis Philip, King of the
French, to all present and to come, we have ordained and
ordain as follows : we nominate A. B. to the prefecture
C." We some time ago mentioned, that as " t e King of
the French" was not now the eldest son of the Church,
and d:d not longer reign by " the Grace of Gov," he could
not consistently be called His Most Christian Majesty,
but that the initials S. M. T. C. would answer as well
for sa Majeste trcs Citoyennc, as sa Majestj ties Chrc.
tiennc. It appears, however, that his Ambassador at
Rome, Count ST. AULAIRE, in all the intercourse which
he has with the Papal Government, calls his master "lies
Most Christian Majesty."
Advices from Gibraltar of the 10th ult. state,
that there were strong symptoms of the dissolution of the
free port of Cadiz, which indeed seems all along to have
consisted more in the name than in the reality of the thing.
Letters from thence confirm the fact some time ago spoken
of, that the King of SPAIN has resumed there his monopoly
of tobacco and salt, without which, however, it was gene-
rally believed that the privilege, such as it was, was in a
state of natural decay. This will do no harm, at all events,
t s Gibraltar.

SUDDEN DEATH.—Last week, in the neigh-
, hourhood of Avr, while a marriage party were seated at
sump!) the bride instantaneously fell from her seat and
exp red ! Glasgow Herald.
On Tuesday last, at Ynysygervrn, near Neath,
dog was discovered carrying the thigh and leg of an in-
fant in his mouth, and all attempts to discover the remain-
der of the body hive hitherto be,n unavailing._Cambrian.
COMMANDING TILE THUNDER.—The ap-
petite and eccentricity of the good-humoured crier of the
Sessions Court for this county, have long been the subjects
of merriment to the loungers of the back benches of the
ball at Koutsford. A circumstance occurred on Monday
last, that afforded additional cause for laughter. During
the transaction of the private business in the Magistrates'
room, there nas a temporary suspension of those duties
which he performs with such credit to himself, and ad
vantage to the county. The atmosphere being rather
clouded, the lassitude to which he is occasionally subject
after repletion stole upon his senses and in a few moments
he was fast locked in the arms of Morpheus. He had
not long been nodding when suddenly a clap of thunder.
aroused him from his reverie, and starting to his feet he
roared out "silence " most lustily. This singular com-
mand threw the whole court almost into convulsions.—
Marcksfield Herald.
