THE LATE GENERAL STRATON.—OH :MOD-
day last the remains of the late Lieut.-General Sir Joseph
Straton, of Kirkside, which had been brought here from
London on Friday, were conveyed hence to the family
vault in St. Cyrus lower churchyard, accompanied by a
few of his private friends. The funeral was met at Kirk-
side by the whole of the Kirkside and Fiddes tenantry,
with the factors on the estate. The General has died pos-
sessed of immense wealth, and, although we are not pos.
sessed of minute information regarding his settlement, we
think it displays ut once his characturistie discrimination
and laudable anxiety to promote the best interests of the
communities with which he was connected. To the
Magistrates and two Kirk-sessions of Mouteose he has be-
queathed 7001. for the purpose of education; and to the
former body 5001., to be divided amongst the various chari-
ties here, such as the Ladies' Clothing Society, the Soup
Kitchen, &c. To the Montrose Royal Infirmary ad. To
the Kirk Session of St. Cyrus 500/ , for the purposes of
education, and for the benefit cf the poor ; end a propor-
tionate sum for like purposes, to Kineff parish, in which
the estate of Fiddes is situated. There are numerous
bequests in favour of particular friends, the legacy duty ap-
plicable to which, as well as the public bequests, he directs
to be paid out of the residue of his funds; and the re-
mainder of his large fJrtune goes into the hands of the
Senattis Academicus of Edinburgh, fur the advance-
ment of the literature of the country. We have great
pleasure in adding that the Gener-I,in the deed, was not
forgetful of his rural tenantry, having made a bequest to
each of them equal to the remission of one-ball year's
rent.—Montrose Review.

We arc enabled to state, upon authority, that
various intentions existed respectitig the appointment to
the vacant sec of Meath. Dr. Dickinson, was, h,;wever,
under all the proposed arrangements, to have been con-
sidered. The appointment of Dr. Saner to the Bishopric
was mooted, and had it taken place, Dr. Dickinson would
have succeeded hint in the Provustship ! This would have
been, if possible, a more dangerous appointment than the
one which has been actually dfcetcd. The mysterious
postponement of Dr. Sadlier's claims is thus simply ac-
counted for—on the death of the present Bishop of York,
who is now at a very great age, the Archbishop of Dublin
is to be translated to that see, and Dr. Sadlier to be ap-
pointed to the vacant Archbishopric of Dublin.—Dublin

minutes after their adm•ssion.

ALARM OF FIRE AT ST. THOMAS'S HOS-
PlTAL—Yesterday evening much alarm was created
among the inmates of St. Thomas's Hospital from a report
that flames were issuing out of one of the chimneys of
that extensive building. It was first noticed by Mr.
Archer, the messenger of Guy's Hospital, who gave imme-
diate notice, when it was discovered that the names pro-
ceeded from the chimney of the bath, on account of the
furnace being over heated. By the prompt exertions of a
number cf men, and the quantity of water contiguous.
the fire was extinguished, to the great gratification of the
numerous inmates, and before the arrival of any engines.

he received on the above railway on Tuesday last. It will
be recollected that there had been a dislocation of the right
arm, another of the hip joint on the same side, and a frac-
ture of the left foot. Mr. Tyrrell, though considering it
an extremely hopeless case, thought it expedient to ampu-
tate the injured arm. He never rallied, and expired at
five o'clock on the following morning. The jury returned
a verdict of " Accidental death."
