APPREHENDED DEATH OF THE

LORD-LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND.

DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENING,
THREE-QUARTERS PAST FIVE O'CLOCK.

I have barely time to convey to you the information
of the fact that the Lord-Lieutenant is dying. He is not
expected to survive another hour. This afternoon an
express was sent off for a " Queen's Letter," to appoint
Lords Justices. His Excellency has received the Sacra-
ment, and all his medical attendants, with the exception
of the Surgeon-General, have left the Castle.—Herald.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
TUESDAY. APRIL 27.

ELECTION MOVEMENTS.—An active canvass has been com-
menced in the Isle of Wight, by Thomas Willis Fleming,
Esq., and his friends; their cry is "No Popery." He is op-
posed by Mr. John Simeon, another Conservative, but who
is in favour of the Maynooth grant. A candidate on the
Liberal interest is also expected to take the field. The elec-
tors seem quite indifferent at present; they think more about
tithes and church-rates just now.
The report of her Majesty's intention to visit the Isle of
Wight this week is without foundation. It will probably
take place the latter part of next week.
At the Royal Yacht Squadron meeting on the 14th of
May, the new commodore is to be elected, the arrangements
for the next regatta made, and seventeen new members
balloted for.
The Duke of Sutherland, the Marquis of Stafford, and Lord
E. Howard, are cruising off in his Grace's yacht, the Ondine.
They will proceed to Norway in a few days.
Lord and Lady Alfred Paget are also here.
Sir Edward Paget, Sir Bellingham Graham, Captain C.
Harnlyn W illiams, the Hon. Miss Monson, R. Meiklam, Esq.,
and several other fashionables, have taken houses here.
THE GROUNDS OF EAST COWES CASTLE.—These beauti-
fully-situated grounds were offered for sale by public auction,
in 177 lots, at the Medina Hotel, East Cowes, this afternoon,
but failed to attract any company. We believe that only one
lot was sold, and that at only ls. 6d. per foot frontage.
Nothing but freehold will do in this neighbourhood—ninety-
nine years' leases have no admirers. Not more than twelve
persons attended this auction, and several of those were in
the vender's interest.

Grain—There is an active demand for wheat, and but
little here. Sales of 10,000 bushels Genesee, to arrive
in May, at 1 doll. 55c. A good article, if here, would
Command 1 doll. 70c. Owing to the small supply of
corn hare prices have gone up. Sales of 15,000 yellow
at 98c., and 10,000 white at 93c. to 94e. ; and even at
this price it is difficult to get hold of much. Rye is
steady at 90e. Sales of Canal oats, to arrive, et 421 e.
Provisions—The market is rather quiet, but prices
are without change. Sales of old prime, 12 dolls. 50e.,

DECISION.

The CHAIRMAN said I have to inform you that it is the
opinion of the Committee that the preamble of the
South-Eastern (North Kent line) has been proved—
that the preamble of the South-Eastern (Strood
and Maidstone line) has been proved—that the pre-
amble of the Mid Kent, Direct Tonbridge, and Paddock
Wood Branch has been proved, omitting the branches to
Sevenoaks and Maidstone, and the branch from Maidstone to
Chart, and the branch to Bromley and Croydon, that the
preamble of the London, Brighton, and South Coast
Bill, Mid-Kent, and Direct Tonbridge line,
has not been proved. It is the opinion of
the Committee that it is of importance with the
public interest that the North Kent and Strood and Maid-
stone lines should be constructed first, and therefore it is the
intention of the Committee in those cases to limit the time
for the compulsory purchase of land to three years, and the
completion of the lines to five years; but considering the pre-
sent state of the money market, the Committee proposed to
extend the time in the case of the Mid-Kent lines to five
years and seven years.
The consideration of the clauses was adjourned till to-
morrow (this dav).

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28, 1847.

The Lords met at Four, and
The Royal Assent was give❑ by Commission to the
Fever (Ireland) Bill.
Their Lordships re-assembled at Five o'clock.
Several petitions having been presented,
The report on the Harbours, Docks, and Piers'
Clauses Bill, was brought up, and received.
The Customs' Duties Bill, the Portland Harbour of
Refuge and Breakwater Bill, and the Insolvent
Debtors' Act Amendment Bill, were severally read a
third time and passed.
The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading
of the Encumbered Estates (Ireland) Bill.
The Marquis of IVEsTmEATn, the Earl of Wics.-
Low, and Lord ASHBURTON supported the Bill.
Lord MONTEAGLE hoped that in the sale of estates
under this Bill, the land would be sold in smaller
parcels than it generally was.
The Bill was then read a second time, and their
Lordships adjourned.

The Commons met at Four o'clock.
Sir CHARLES NAPIER obtained leave to introduce
the Navy Enlistment Bill, authorising the SOVE-
REIGN to issue a proclamation when necessary calling
upon all seamen in Great Britain and Ireland to
come forward and enter themselves for the navy
within five days of the date of such proclamation, or
in default to be liable to impressment.
Mr. WARD did not oppose the introduction of the
Bill, but would not, on the part of the Government,
undertake the responsibility of such a measure.

Dr. BowEING then brought forward his motion,
for the adoption of a decimal system of coinage cur-
rency and account.

Mr. HUME seconded the motion.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER admitted that
much might be urged in favour of a decimal system,
but still he thought the prejudices existing on the
subject were so great, that whatever was done should
be done gradually. He was prepared to agree that
two-shilling pieces should be struck.
Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN congratulated the Hon.
Member for Bolton on his partial success.

Mr. SIIEIL said, that as far as silver was concerned
the alteration was easy enough, the great difficulty
was with regard to coppers. He had no objection to
having a twc-shilling piece to be struck, to be called
a Royal.
After a few words from Mr. BROWN and Sir G.
CLERK, the motion was withdrawn.
Lord JOHN MANNERS then rose to call the atten-
tion of the House to the present state of affairs in
Greece, but before the Noble Lord had concluded his
speech, the House was counted out.

SOCIETY FOR TEACHING THE BLIND TO READ.—
The anniversary dinner of this most useful and humane so-
ciety was held yesterday at the London Tavern, where, as
usual, due provision was made for the appetites and palates
of the charitable. Mr. T. A. Smith presided on the occasion,
supported by Lord Dudley Stuart, Mr. J. 31asterman, jun.,
Mr. G. Hoare, and Mr. Mildred, and surrounded by a highly
respectable party of gentlemen interested in the success of
the institution. We have so recently noticed the objects and
wants of the charity that it is unnecessary now to repeat
them. We may state, however, that the great aim of those
who conduct it at present is the extension of its usefulness by
the erection of a suitable building. During the evening sub-
scriptions were announced to- the amount of 6001. The ar-
rangements of the festival were perfectly satisfactory.
Sir Robert Peel has kindly consented to take the
chair st the celebration of the anniversary of the King's
College Hospital, at the Albkm Tavern, ctu the 9th of Joe.

trians, for Mediterranean ports, but there being no more
vessels of this flag in port, higher rates must now be
given; 60s. to 625. 6d. have been given to proceed to
Bahia for sugar. There being scarcely any disposable
shipping in port portends an advance here when sales of
coffee commence on a large scale.

Feb. 27)—Johnston, Napier and Co., and Le Breton,

nation, since when 755. per tun to the Channel and

IN RE JAMES ABBOTT.

The insolvent was opposed by Air. Lewis Thomas for
Lord Grantley, and by other creditors in person.
Tie complaint was that the insolvent had contracted
debts under lithe rt pre,entations. He took a house (if
Lord Grantley, at Wornish, and had paid no rent. He
denied that he had represented himself as an indepen-
dent man, either to his Lordship or to any other
creditor.

Two creditors were called as witnesses, and they posi-
tively declared that they had given credit on the insol-
vent stating to them that he was a man of property.
It appeared that the insolvent had started a work
connected with agriculture, and he t.tat,:d that he in-
tended to open an agricultural school. He had soap.
premises in the Strand, and a company was to be formed
called " The Benevolent Land Association." The
scheme, however, had not succeeded.

Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS, in giving judgment, said
he should be warranted in remanding the insolvent. It
was a case for the full exercise of the discretionary
clause, viz.—six months from the vesting order.
