The late Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Dundas,
K. C.B. , who died on Monday last, at his residence, Reading,
at an advanced age, had been in the navy sixty-three years.
The deceased Admiral had seen much service, and was one of
the heroes of Trafalgar, at which glorious victory he com-
manded the Naiad, when he repeated Lord Nelson's signals.
Previously, when in the command of La Prompte, he destroyed
a Spanish vessel of war of superior force. His commission
bears date, Lieutenant, 15th July, 1793 ; Commander, 2d
September, 1795 ; Captain, 9th July, 1796 ; Rear-Admiral,
27th May, 1825; and Vice-Admiral, 10th January, 1837. For
his eminent services he was nominated in September, 1831, a
K. C. 8., and was one of those naval officers who have an ho-
norary reward from the Patriotic Fund.
FEAST OF THE PASSOVER.—Yesterday com-
mencesd the grand feast of the Passover among the Jews : dur-
ing the whole of the past week, the Jews all over the world have
been busily employed in removing from their houses every ves-
tige of leavened bread; and on the day previous to this feast
commencing, the master of the house, with a wax light in big
hand, enters and examines every room, to see that it is perfectly
free from leavened bread. The feast lasts eight days, during
the whole of which time they neither eat or drink any thing
containing yeast. As eight days' holidays would fall particu-
larly heavy on the poorer classes, it is only the two first and the
two last days that are kept strict ; they being allowed to follow
their various callings during the intermediate four. Formerly
the Jews (and a few still keep up the ceremony) would, on the
two first nights, kill a lamb and roast it whole, and all the
household, even to the servants of the same faith, assemble to-
gether and the master of the house explains how they were in
bondage in Egypt, and how the Lord delivered them by the
slaying of the first-born of the Egyptians. This now almost
obsolete custom of slaying a lamb, and sprinkling the blood on
the door-posts, has at different periods formed the basis on
which the enemies of the Jews have founded their charge of
imputing to them human sacrifices. Though the Old Testa-
ment expressly informs us that the Jews were commanded to
do so by God, that it should be as a sign to the angel of death
to pass-over those houses ; and in commemoration thereof the
Jews to this day keep the feast of the Passover.
ILLNESS OF EARL GRANVILLE.—We re-
gret to state that intelligence was received at the Foreign
Office, on Saturday, of the serious illness of Earl Gran-
vine, the British Ambassador at the French Court. Lord
Leveson, Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, left town
shortly afterwards for Paris, to visit his, noble parent.
