LIVES OF THE QUEENS OF ENGLAND. BY AGNES
STRICKLAND. VOL. X.—ln this new volume, as in all the
previous volumes, we are struck with the very great labour
which Miss Strickland has expended in its preparation. It
is no compilation from second-hand authorities, but is the
result of a careful reference to original manuscripts and other
authorities never before consulted for a similar purpose. The
present volume continues and concludes the Life of Mary
Beatrice, and also contains a Memoir of Mary, daughter of
James 11. Both the biographies are written with much care,
and are quite as attractive as any of those contained in the
preceding volumes. In the career of both these Queens there
was much of a very eventful nature, and Miss Strickland
has worked up the new materials which she has collected in
that fascinating manner which gives so great a charm to the
work. The " Lives of the Queens of England" will, when
completed, form one of the most valuable biographical works
in the English language.—Observer.
THE LATE MR. FITZGERALD, MP.--Thi
s gentle-
man, who has just fallen a victim to the epidemic which has
lately made such ravages in various districts in Ireland, was
descended from a younger branch of the Leinster family, and
possessed considerable property, both in the counties of
Tipperary and Cork. He was a native of the town of Clon-
mel, and had but entered his forty-first year. In 1836 he
married the Signora Donna Emilia, the daughter of Signor
D. Frizoni, of Lisbon. By religion Mr. Fitzgerald was a
Roman Catholic; and, in point of politics, he was a disciple of
the late Mr. O'Connell. It is rather a curious circumstance
that, scarcely more than two days previous to his demise,
the deceased gentleman issued an address to the electors of
Tipperary, announcing his retirement from Parliamentary
life. This is the third vacancy that has been occasioned by
death t
in he representation of the county of Tipperary
since the general election of 1841, Mr. ',Valentine Maher
having died in 1843, and the Honourable Otway Cave in the
following year.
IRON AhD COAL TRADE OF AYRSHIRE.—AII intel-
ligent correspondent communicates as follows :—ln conse-
quence of the depression in the iron market, the Ayrshire
ironmasters and coalmasiers have resolved to reduce the
miners' and colliers' wages from ss. to 4s. per day. This the
men are unwilling to accede to, unless the quantity of iron-
stone and mil which they are required to put out is also
reduced. As the masters will not agree to this, many of the
men have received their warning, while others are already
idle. It is expected that the men will consent to the reduc-
tion in a few days. Owing to the high price of coals in
Ayrshire lately, the shipping trade of Irvine, Troop, and
wont to is beginning to suffer, as many vessels which were
wont to be supplied with coals at these ports, for Ireland, are
now procuring them on the Cumberland coast, and in Wales,
where the price is more moderate. In the Principality col-
liers' wages are only 3s. 6d. per day.—Dumfries Courier.
We deeply regret to find the following in the
, Frankfort prints of the 14th instant :—" Berlin, June 5.
1 Baron Alexander de Humboldt is so dangerously ill that his
physicians despair of his recovery."
[ADVERTISEDIENT. I—MIRACULOUS RESTORATION OF
moan ST HOLLOWAY'S PILLS!! I—Miss Ellen Knight, 36, Stan-
hope-street, Regent's-park, a young lady of the most delicate consti-
tution, had been a martyr to suffering for years through overflow of
bile and bad digestion, causing pa:pitation of the heart with great
duttenity of breathing; to walk up the least ascent was impracti-
cable; the best medical advice had been obtained in London, Bir-
mingham, France, and other places, but in vein ; nor did she receive
any relief until she took a course of Holloway's inestimable pills ;
and she is now, by their use, enjoying the blessings of health, that
for the previous eighteen years she had been a stranger to. Sold by
