PRICE OF CORN AT PENRITU. The Queen's
Speech has had a wonderful effect in Penrieli market. Ac-
cording to the Inspectors return it will be seen that wheat
was only Hid. short of 41. per qr., but on Tuesday it had a
serious fall, being 3s. or is. per bushel lower; other grain
was down in proportion. There was great rejoicing among
the poor folks, the bellman going round the town to publish
the glad tidings.— Curlisle Journal.
DEATH OF SIR WILLIAM ,21IATTOR, BART.—We
deeply regret to record the death cf Sir William Chaytor,
Bart., which took place on Thursday last, at his residence,
Clervaux Castle, near Darlington. The deceased Baronet
was highly respected, and his loss will be severely felt and
deeply lamented. In " Dodd's Peerage, Baronetage, and
Knightage of Great Britain," we find the following:—" Sir William •
Char tor, first Baronet, created 18:31, son of William
Chaytor, Esq., by his marriage with Miss Jane Lee. Born
1771. Married, 1803, the yourige,t daughter and co-heir of
John Carter, Esq., of Tunstall and Richmond, Yorkshire."
The late Sir William Chavtor was Lieut.• Colonel Com-
mandant of the Yorkshire Militia (North Riding), and a
deputy lieutenant of the county of Durham. He repre-
sented Sunderland in Parliament, in 1833 and 1834, but has
latterly retired into private life. The deceased was in the
76th year of his age, and is succeeded in his title and estates
by Ids son, Villiam Richard Chaytor, who was born in 1805,
and married, in 1836, a daughter of Mr. Lacy, of Lasingwold,
but she died in 1837. The present Baronet represented the
city of Durham from 1831 to 1834.—York Herald.
DEATH OF LIEUT.-GENERAL SIR EDWARD GIBBS.
K.C.13 , LATE LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR OF JERSEY,--This
distinguished. officer, whose terms of service as Lieutenant-
Governor of Jersey ceased a fortnight since, expired on the
24th ult., at the residence of one of his friends in that
island, in the seventieth year of his age, though for some
time suffering from an attack of gout. Sir Edward was
carried off somewhat suddenly. Having given up possession
of the Governor's house he proceeded on a visit to a friend in
the interior of the island, and while there sustained an attack
of paralysis, which baffled all medical aid, and terminated
fatally on the above-mentioned day. A few days before the •
melancholy event, the gallant officer received the na st flat-
tering testimonials of approbation from her Majesty through
Sir George Grey, and addresses were presented to him from
all classes of the inhabitants, comprising English, French, and
native, congratulating him on the successful termination of
his eight years' service as Lieutenant-Governor and Coin-
mander-in-Chief, and complimenting hint on the impartial
manner in which he had ever discharged his duties. Sir
Edward Gibbs entered the army in 1798, and his other cont•
missions are thus dated: lieutenant. November 28, 1799;
captain, February 24, 1803; major, February 4, 1808; lieu-
tenant-colonel, Februaty 6, 1812; co onel, May 27, 1825;
major-general, January 10, 1837 ; lieutenant-general, Novem-
ber 9, 1816. Sir Edward was the son of Samuel Gibbs,
Esq., of Houslcy Park, Essex, by the daughter of Admiral
Sir William Rowley, and was brother to the late Sir Samuel
Gibbs, who fell at New Orleans in 1815.
SUDDEN DEATH OF CAPTAIN FRANCIS FREAD,
R.N.---We regret to record the death of Captain F. Fread,
R.N., which took place at his residence, Nightingale
Vale, Woolwich, on Sunday. The deceased officer, who
was of a full habit of body, was seated at breakfast with his
family, when lie was suddenly seized with a fit of apoplexy.
and expired before medical assistance could be procured,
Captain Fread was a Justice of the Peace for the County of
Kent, and was one of those officers who accepted the retire
ment a few weeks since. He was brother of Colonel Fread,
late of the Grenadier Guards. He has left a large family to
mourn his sudden decease, and a general feeling of regret has
been felt in Woolwich, where as a magistrate and private
gentleratul he was highly teteemed.
