DEATH OF ADMIRAL FLEMING.—We are sorry to
learn that the Hon. Admiral Fleming, Governor of
Greenwich Hospital, died at Leamington last night
He was raised to the rank of Admiral of the Blue in
1837,1: and succeeded Sir Thomas Hardy, the late Go-
vernor, who died on the '2oth of September, 1839, thus
having held the appointment, about which so much
noise was made, only twelve months.
COUNTY OF CARLOW.-Mt. Tighe starts on the
Liberal interest for the county of Carlow. There was
not the slightest truth in the report that the Hon. J.
Ponsonby would come forward ; he is already in Par-
liament for Derby. The interest of Lord Duncannon,
Lord Fitzwilliam, and Mr. Tighe, in the county of
Carlow, are such that little doubt of success need be en-
tertained for any candidate zealously supported by their
tenantry. The death of Mr. Vigors has produced a
great sensation in Carlow, where he was very highly
esteemed. No Tory candidate is yet announced, but
the contest will be severe if Col. Bruen again stands.

LORD HILL'S MEMORANDUM.—In reading Lord
Hill's memorandum, which the Times praises so much,
we are forcibly reminded, not by the resemblance, but
by the contrast, of Buonaparte's celebrated addresses to
his army. Their brief but clear and weighty sentences,
sinking deep into the hearts of his soldiers, and making
every one pant to distinguish himself as a hero, arc the
very reverse of the rigmarole, sleepy jumble which Lord
Hill addressed to the officers of the 11th Hussars. But
Buonaparte's bulletins were written in the vigour of
manhood : what he might have written had he fallen into
dotage, it is impossible to say. We can, however, say
positively, that he would never have outdone in twaddle
the Mrs. Nickleby of the Horse Guards. Those wie
have any regard 'for the reputation of Lord Hill ought
not to allow the General Commanding-in-Chief to ruin
it, and disgrace that noble name for such a person as
the Earl of Cardigan. Lord Hill should have bitter
his fingers eff before he gave any sanction to the Noble
Earl's conduct, and, rather than be constrained by any
influence to do that, he should have resigned. It is not
yet too late to show his contrition for his error, and ap-
pease the public wrath by now taking that step.
The Endymion an•d Vernon, two frigates of the
lirgest class, have been, in addition to the other naval
force, put in commission.

CORN IN FRANCE.--The Echo des Holies
states that the price of corn in nearly all the markets has
experienced a considerable fall, and that flour must be re-
duced in proportion. The average on Tuesday was 54.
53f. Every point of the kingdom, adds, it .. appears to
havo au equally abundant aupply.
