DEATH OF LADY KATHERINE JERMYN.---We
announce with extreme regret the death of the above
noble lady, which occurred on Thursday evening,
under
very painful circumstances. The deceased, who,
it will
be recollected, was a daughter of the Duke of Rutland,.
was married in 1830 to the Earl Jermyn, eldest sou of
the Marquis of Bristol. A few days since (the family
party at the time staying at their town mansion, in
Eaton-place) the Noble Earl was attacked by the small
pox. Her ladyship, contrary to the advice of the medical
attendants, persisted in personally attending upon her
noble husband, and the result was that on Saturday last
she took the disease herself. Being at the time enctente,
the excitement consequent on the fever brought on pre-
mature confinement, and her ladyship gave birth to an
infant on Sunday, which survived only a few hours.
This unfortunate occurrence aggravated the disease, and
after four days suffering her ladyship breathed her last
on Thursday evening
about five o'clock, leaving a
family of six infant children to lament her irreparable
loss. The Duke of Rutland, and all the members of his
family, were summoned to town before the sad event took
place. We need scarcely add, that they are suffering the
most poignant grief. The Noble Earl is slowly recover-
ing, but we understand he is not yet aware of the dread-
ful bereavement he has sustained.
PROLIFIC EWE.—A ewe of the black faced breed,
belonging to Mr. John Savage, of Hanging Bank, near
Bolton, has brought her owner fifteen lambs within the
last six months.

CUSTOMS.—Mr. D. W. Law, searcher at the port
of London, has been appointed landing surveyor at the
port of Plymouth. Mr. E. Cowcher and Mr. J. M.
Arnaud, searchers at the port of London, have been
selected to act in the superior capacity of landing sur-
veyors when a pressure of business, or other cause, may
require their services in that department.
WHISKY FOR THE ROYAL FAMILY.—WE under-
stand that Mr. Macdonald of the Bennevis Distillery,
Fort William, has presented a cask of whisky to her
Majesty, and that an order has been:sent from the Trea-
sury to permit the spirits to be removed, free of duty,
and deposited in the cellars of Buckingham Palace. The
cask is not to be opened until his Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales attains his majority, which will give it
a rest of fourteen years!—lnverness Courier.
ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL, NEW CROSS.—The Earl
of Auckland has signified his intention of bestowing a
marine cadetship for competition amongst the pupils of
this institution, ut Midsummer next. In addition to this
:lite
valuable boon, two naval cadetships are annually placed
at the disposal of the council by the Admiralty. The

Weekly Register.
FORGED CHEQUES.—CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.
A man is going about the metropolis looking at apart-
ments and obtaining small sums on cheques of 201. and
401., drawn on the Westminster Bank, making
an excuse
that the bank is closed, and that he will return the
money for the cheque on the next morning. ,
The cheques
are complete forgeries, and several persons have been
victimised,by him.
As some labourers, employed by John
Goodall,
Esq., on his Belvidere estate, near Whitchureh were on
Saturday last digging up the roots of a fine old
ash-tree
they had recently felled, several pieces of silver coin
were discovered by them, and carefully taken out of the
earth, where it is believed they must have lain buried
many years. One of the piece.s is in a beautiful state of
preservation, and is of the reign of Charles IL The
others, which are a little defaced, appear to have been
coins in circulation in the reign of William tr. It is
conceived that these coins must have been dt i)usited at
the root of the tree by the hand of the planter, at the
time of its being planted.—Shropshire Journal.
IMPORTATIONS OF APPLES.—The importations of
apples from Belgium, as well as France, are
particularly numerous and extensive. (Ine just now
.fvessel, just
arrived, has brought nearly 600 cases of the fruit, form-
ing an entire cargo; ant another vessel has brought 415
cases, comprising an entire cargo of the article. The
importation of the fruit from Gravelioes, and that portion
of France, are particularly large and numerous.
Information has been forwarded to the metronoli
tan police-offices of the following desperate means em -
ploy ed by a house breaker to escape from the oustodyi o
a police-constable :—The prisoner, it appears, with tw
others of his class, had been committed by the ma - o
trates of Edrington, Bear Birmingham, to Warwick ggals°i
for housebreaking, and whilst proceeding to the latter
place from Birmingham by the railway-train, in charge
arR
of police-sergeant Pearson, he suddenly vaulted, h 1 .
quin.like, through the viiudow of the carriage.
