THE MARQUIS CAMDEN.

At a Meeting held at Brecon, on the 23d ult.
which was most respectably and numerously at-
tended, an Address was unanimously voted to the
Marquis CAMDEN, then on a visit to the Borough,
expressing the grateful admiration of the Meet-
ing at the patriotic conduct of the Noble Mar-
quis in relinquishing to the exigencies of the
State, the fees and perquisites of his office, as one
of the Tellers of the Exchequer, beyond the
sum enacted by Parliament to be paid him. The
following was the Noble Marquis's reply to the
Address:—

" 1 thank' you most sincerely for this address. At five years
have elapsed since I adopted the conduct you approve, I trust
I may interpret your sentiments into a deliberate approbation
of my conduct, and not to a temporary expression of popular
feeling. In this light, your address is particularly gratiiying,
and the more so as it records the distinguished services of my
father, as deservedly claiming those rewards which have been
enjoyed by his family.
" The grants of ancient and honourable offices have long
been the mode of rewarding the services of public men, either
in their own, or in the persons of their descendants. Such
a mode records the services of him who acquires the grant,
and enables his descendant to maintain the station he in-
herits. I therefore lament that such offices are hereafter to
be abolished, and that, by such regulation, public economy
will be little benefitted, and public men less honourably re-
warded. . .

" In retaining the office of one of the tellers of his Majesty's
Exchequer, and that portion of its emoluments which has been
regulated by Parliament, I feel that I have adopted the prin-
ciple I haie expressed, and if in voluntarily devoting the ex-
cess to the exigencies of the State I have acquired the good
opinion of my country, I am highly rewarded.
" The flattering testimony which my conduct has drawn forth
from the inhabitants of theancient and respectable Borough of
Brecknock, convened and presided over by its Chief Magistrate
and conveyed in the Address I have received, is more peculiarly
satisfactory to me, as it is presented to me at this place, and
during the period lam residing amongst them."—( Kentish

AWFUL INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATIL—Las t
night at eight o'clock an inquisition was taken at
the sign of the Swan, Ilungerford-market, before
Mr. limos, Deputy Coroner for Westminster, on
the body of Mrs. Ann Herbert, 50 years of age. The
deceased was the wife of a comb-maker, in Little
Ilungerford-street. She had been chiefly em-
ployed in nursing ladies in their lying-in, and
had borne a most excellent character. On last
Thursday afternoon she told her husband
she would go to Cranbourn-alley, to pur-
chase a dress, and went out for that pur-
pose. In Castle-court, Strand, she fell down
upon the pavement, and was instantly surrounded
by a mob, the majority of whom considered her
in a fit, and used the means generally adopted to
recover her ; but finding she was getting weaker,
she was carrried to the shop of Mr. 'Watson, sur-
geon, in Chandos-street. That gentleman used
every means in his power to restore her, lint his
efforts proved abortive. She was, however, so well
known, that she was soon recognized, and was
conveyed home a corpse to her agonizing hus-
band, whose feelings may be better conceived
than described. Since that her body was opened,
and her death could not be attributed to any par-
cular cause, except that her features indicated
all the simptoms of apoplexy•--The Jury re-
turned a verdict—" Died in a fit of apoplexy."

MUNDEN was attacked suddenly, a few days
ago, with a violent bilious fever, which has since
brought on so severe a fit of the gout, as to pre-
vent his leaving his bed-room.
