Straits on the 30th of September; the Jane, of Boners;

lions, and on leaving left with the crew a handsome
present to drink to Sir John Franklin's health.
DEATH OF MR. JOHN BROOKB.—We are sorry to
learn that this gentleman, so well known for his con-
nexion with the Anti-Corn-law League, and for the
prominent part which for many years he took in local
and general politics in Manchester, died at his residence,
Clarendon-howe, Cheethatn-hill, on Saturday last.
Though for a year or more in Jailing health, which had
led him to withdrew from bt.sines, Mr. Brooks had been
for some short time past somewhat better, and able to
take carriage exercise; and on the Sunday preceding
his deceate he had attended church. On Friday last.
however, he had a seizure, said to have been caused
teedbr.
by
some sudden pressure on the spinal marrow, w
rninatcd his life on the following day. Mr. Brooks was
in his 63d year. lie was in the cotnnaission of the peace
for the borough. Ills munificent benevolence and warm
heart will long live in the memory of those who knew
him.— AI anchester
