ELAND.--fie regret to state that his Grace the Duke of
Northumberland departed this life at an early hour yester-
day morning (Thursday). The melancholy event took place
at Alnwick Castle, Northumberland. liis Grace had been
suffering from a slight attack of influenza, but there was no•
thing to excite the suspicion of his friends. About seven
o'clock on the morning in question, on one of his servants en-
tering the bed-room, he found his worthy master, as he sup-
posed, asleep. Having spoken to him, but without receiving
any answer, the servant became apprehensive that his Grace
had expired, and upon calling for assistance such was found
to be the fact. His Grace was in his sixty-second year, and
was universally beloved by all parties.

Six HARRY Sturru.—Upon the fame of the victo-
ries of Aliwal and Sobraon penetrating to the retired village
of Whittlesea, in Cambridgeshire, the birth-place of Sir H.
Smith, an address of congratulation to the hero of these two
hard-fought
fights was set on foot by those of the inhabitants
who could remember the stripling cadet whom they now
heard of as the distinguished general. It was prepared by
his old preceptor, the Rev. G. Burges, who, in his 82d year,
rejoiced in the glory of his gallant pupil. Sir 11. Smith's
reply has been only lately received. It is full of the kindest
'feeling, and evinces throughout that warm attachment to
home which long absence, however honoured, is seldom able
to quench.
-ROBBERY OF 1,5001.—0 n Saturday- a parcel, con-
taining 1,5211., belonging to the Tipperary Joint-stock Bank,
was placed in the boot of the Nenagh and Limerick coach.
On arriving at the Limerick coach-office the parcel was
missed, although the lock of the boot in which it was placed
was not disturbed. Suspicion at once fell upon a man named
James Corboy, son to the former driver of the coach, who
got up on the coach a short distance outside Nenagh, and
left it on entering the suburbs of Limerick. Soon after the
coach reached its destination Corboy made his appearance,
and, although none of the money was found on his person,
he has been committed.
