HANOVER, JULY 7.—The death of Professor Grade is
deeply regretted by the Royal Family ai.d by all loyal
Hanoverians. All the preparatory measures for the opera.
tion on the Prince's eyes were made, and Dr. Angelstein,
One of the most able pupils of Professor Gracie, had fol-
lowed him, to be present on the decisive moment.
The mortal remains of the Professor were sent yester-
day morning to Berlin. flis family, who experienced the
kindest sympathy from the Court, left Hanover one hour
earlier. Thou4h it is said that two other celebrated stir-
gcons have been applied to, we believe that we confidently
Ram that the operation will not be performed for the pre-
sent, :Od that the Pi ince will certainly go first to Nor-
derney.
Mr. John Heinrich Ramberg, the Conrt painter, died
yesterday, et the age of nearly 80 years, during the last of
which be sug,Ted very painful illness.
KIEL, Jur I' 7.—This morning, at 7 o'clock, the Rus-
sian steamer Bogatyr returned to this port, with the
Grand bake Constantine on board. It brings word that
a Russian squadron, consisting of a frigate, a corvette, two
brigs and a lugger, will shortly arrive here.
DA amsTAnT, Grand Duke Alexander
will leave us the day after tc.rnorrow. He will gO first to
klmis, stay there a few days, and then go to Petersburg.
His rather afdiien departure is ascribed to the events in
Southern Russia, cepetillly on the Caucasian coast. The
Emperor, it is said, will visit theijo distant provinces, where
the fortune of war has been unfavourablits to the Russian
arras, and will be accompanied in his jourri;.l by the
Grand Duke.—=thrrnburyh Papers, July 11.

MONUMENT TO SIR WALTER SCOTT.-•--
At the meeting of the Edinburgh Town Council last week,
the Lord Provost produced a letter which he had received
from Mr. George Forbes, treasurer to the Scott Monument
Committee, stating that arrangements had been made by the
kindness of the Speaker. for obtaining without the usual fe.le!,,
the permission of Parliament to build the monument in the
Prince's-street Gardens, opposite St. David-street; and that,
as the Grand Lodge of Scotland had proposed to lay the
foundation-stone with masonic honotirs on the lath of August,
next, the birth-day of Sir Walter, the Committee were de-
sirous to have the sanction of the Lord Provost and Magis-
trates, and to be honoured by the presence of the members
cf Council at a ceremony so interesting as a memorial of our
illustrious fellow-citizen, ansi promising so great an additional
ornament to the metropolis of Scotland. There was also read
another document, setting forth that the space of ground re-
quired for the monument was one hundred feet square,
according to the plan of Mr. Kemp. It was agreed, that so
far as the Magistrates and the Council had the power
to grant the ground required, they had no objection to offer
thereto, it being understood that the Committee take upon
themselves the obtaining of the requisite. Act of Parliament,
end make the necessary arrangements xt ith the tenant of the
gardens and others. The Council further remitted to the
Lord Provost's Committee to co-operate in the matter gene-
rally with the Committee for the monument.
ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON.-The Earl of
De.,art sailed from Cadiz for Tangier and Gibraltar in his
cutter Owen Glendwr. The Marquis of Ormond and Mr.
Hervey, who were at Seville when the yacht sailed, rejoined
her at Gibraltar, and will prosecute their original intention of
visiting Malta, the lonian Islands, Constantinople, &c. Mr.
E. N. Harvey, with his friends Mr. Cox and Mr. Bromley,
has arrived in his new yacht Gitana from the Azores, and
finis the new rigs of his yacht answer extremely well. She
looks very beautiful under canvas, and is said to sail remark-
ably fast.

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.-GRAND
SAILING MaTeti.—The first above-bridge sailinc, match this
seaso,-., of boats belonging to this distinguished club, which
has the patronage of her Majesty, will take place on Thurs-
day next. It is confined to gentlemen's yachts of the third
or light class, and the distance as usual from the Temple-
gardens to Wandsworth meadows ard back. The following are
entered :

The Brilliant is the favourite.

TWEED SALMON FISHING.—The fishing still
continues very unproductive—even more so than at the cor-
responding period of last year, which was a very bad one ; and
the take of grilses, which, in some seasons, is by this time con-
siderable, has been as yet unusually small. The deficiency is
ascribed by some of the fishermen to there having been too
much "fresh water" in the ricer, which, though never very
heavily flooded, has been more or less discoloured for every
day during the last four weeks ; but this seems scarcely to ac-
count satisfactorily for the scarcity of fish, as the same result
was a few weeks ago ascribed to the opposite cause—viz., too
little water. As the fisheries in the Tay and other salmon
rivers of Scotland have been equally unproductive, it is evident
that the causes which have led, and are leading, the fish to desert
our shores, remain to be discovered.—Berwick Advertiser.
PRICE OF A COCKERMOUTH CANVASSER
—The late election for Cockermouth has been abundantly rich

in subjects for condemnation and laughter. A circumstance

perseveringly exerted himself on behalf of General 'Wyndham,
has been detected in a trick which made his Tory friends look
still more blue than the General's false colours. soon
after the election, this worthy advocate of Toryism, pro-
ceeded to Cockermouth Castle, to lay before Geaeral
Wyndham a case of gross oppression to which he had been
subjected by the rascally Whig-Radicals, for the dis-
interested and valuable support he had given to the General.
He blushed and owned that when he commenced business as
a grocer he was not quite so rich in this world's goods as he
found necessary for his purposes; and with shame he confessed
he had been under the necessity of borrowing 5001. from one
of those vile Whig-Radicals who had so shamefully opposed the
good and gallant General whom he was addressing ; and he
produced a letter which he said he had just received from the
lender, demanding the immediate payment of the money, as a
punishment for the part he had taken at the election. The
General swore, as Generals do swear sometimes—cursed all
the Whig-Radicals, and declared his friend " clipper " should
not suffer under such vile oppression. The steward was sent
for; end being a virtuous and good man, he entered at once
into the feelings of the party, and soon arranged that
the money should be advanced to pay off the paltry
debt; 3001. was given in hand, and 2001. more was to be forth-
coming almost immediately. The affair made a great noise,
as all affairs do in small towns; and through the medium of
the worthy Vicar, the supposed lender heard of his own vile
doings—of which before he had been kept in utter ignorance,
for it turned out that not only had he written no such letter as
Shearman had shown, but had never lent the man a penny in
his life. The consternation of the Tory party, on the discovery
of this trick, may be more easily conceived than described.
Some cursed, some swore, some bit their lips ; but all declared
that their dear friend Mr. Shearman was not the man they
took him for ; and worst of all, added the steward, with a pious
ejaculation—which it might be construed as improper to print
—" worst of all, everybody will now know the price we are
willing to give for a canvasser, and if we have to come to
another election, why a mint of money won't pay for it."

DOVER, JCLY 13.
Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess de.
Nemours, arrived here this morning from Boulogne, in
L 5. Conner French steam packet,and they would have pro•
cecded immediately towards London, but the steamer ran
aground close to the South Pier, and, as the tide as fall-
ing, she rernair.ed there, and the carriages cannot be got
on shore until the evening's tide, so that their Royal Oigh-
nesses will Probably remain at the Snip Inn, until to-
morrow morning.
The accident must have been very mortifying to the
Royal tiavelters, as there was plenty of water into the
harbriur ; for an English stcain-packet came in immedi-
ately before them ; and another, the 11 ate; Witch, from
Boulogne, came in just after the French steam-packet had
grounded, Indeed, an hour after, the steamer from Rams
gate came in, landed her passengers, and went out again.
It was the opiniun of several very experienced parsons on
the pier, that it was very fortunate the _Courier groneded as
she did, or a much worse accident might have occurred by
the vessel striking against the South Pier.
. Their Royal Highnesses landed under a salute from the.
Westr ru Heights, and were received by' the Commandant
of the garrison, Col. Munro, and a Guard of Honour from
the 90th I.i;lrt Lfantry, under Captain Cumming. They
drove reund the town and to the Castle in the afternoon.
