DEATH OF. SIR EYRE COOTE.—Died, at his re-
sidence in Brook-street, on the lOth inst., in the
63d year of his age, Sir EYRE Coors, of (Vest
Park, Hants, who faithfully served his King and
Country, in various climates, for upwards of 40
years, and with distinguished merits as an Officer,
having received the thanks of both Houses of Par-

liament for his conduct. His loss will be long
and deeply regretted by a disconsolate wido►y,
who enjoyed with him an uninterrupted happi-
ness for upwards of eighteen years, and an afflict-
ed son, and numerous attached friends who
knew his worth ; and in him the poor of his
neighbourhood have been deprived of a most
kind and liberal benefactor.

THE ROYAL FAmtLY.--Yesterday morning, Et
ten o'clock, the Duke of CLAnENcr. and the
Duchess of GLOUCESTER left Bushey Park, the

The Duke of CLARENCE proceeded to London.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Royal
Duke and Duchess returned to, Bushey Park.—
Yesterday afternoon the Duke of Yons enter-
tained a party to dinner at York House.

We received last night Frankfort Papers to the

not to afford a single article worth extracting.

Last year the number of vessels that, sailed
from Dunkirk for the Cove fishery on the banks

We understand that in consequence of the
immense importation of Dutch hare and rabbit
skins, English are not worth half the price they
fetched last year.
A Berlin paper of the 29th ult, states, that at
Konigsberg, on the Ist of the same mouth, ripe
strawberries were eaten in several houses in that
city. On the 3d, snow fell more than one foot
in depth ; and on the 4th they were busied with
the, vintage! It may be a fact that wine is made
on the shores of the Baltic, but we must candidly
confess vfe never heard of it before.

Recent Commercial Letters from Gottenburgh
say, that the damp harvesting of the corn, this
summer, in Sweden, renders it inferior in quality
to the crop of last year. The currency, however,
keeps pretty level in its range. Accounts from
Drontheim complain sadly of the ravages com-
mitted by the field mice (Mus lemnus, Linn.)
throughout the whole province. In many .places
every thing has been destroyed, both in the corn

fields and in the meadows. Should a hard winter

follow, the inhabitants will be exposed to great
difficulties, if they do not experience absolute
want.

The Marquis of CuoratoNnELEY, we are happy

By the third section of the late " Vagrant

A pamphlet has appeared, having for title

preaching Congress at St. Petersburgh.]
