DEATH OF LIEVT...GENERAL JOHN WARDLAW
We have to announce the death of this field officer. He
expired at Torquay, where he had resided for some
months past, on Tuesday last, in his 73d year. The
gallant deceased had been in the army above 50 years,
and had seen considerable service during the Peninsular
war. He commanded the 76th Regiment at the battle
of the Nive, and in consequence of his bravery and mi-
litary conduct on that occasion he received a medal. On
the death of Lieutenant. General Sir W. Henry Clinton
in 1846, the deceased was appointed colonel of the 55th
(the Westmoreland) Regiment of Foot. His commis-
sions were dated as follow:—Ensign, 27th April, 1796;
lieutenant, sth October, 1796; captain, 24th May, 1798;
major, 16th January, 1806; lieutenant-colonel, 10th

22d July, 1830; and lieutenant. general, 23d November,

ment becomes vacant by his demise.
MELANCHOLY DEATH OF MAJOR Ross.—This
gallant officer of the Royal Horse Artillery, eldest ion
of Major-General Sir Hew Dalrymple Ross, 1.C.8.,
Deputy Adjutant-General to the Royal Artillery, died
en Sunday last at Newcastle-on-Tyne, where he was
stationed on the recruiting service. His death took place
from injuries he received a few days previously by fall-
ing from his horse when out riding, the animal having
rolled upon him. Major Ross was a comparatively
young officer, being by seniority Second Captain in
Capt. Gilbert's:troop of Royal Horse Artillery, although
holding the brevet rank of Major in the service.

scholars of St. Peter's, Westminster, according to their

11th, Thursday, the 14th, and Monday, the 18th of

DREADFUL FIRE IN GRAY'S INN-LANE. Two
LIVES LOST.—This morning, about one o'clock, a most
dreadful occurrence took place by fire, in the house of
Mr. Powell, optician, Gray's Inn-lane, a few doors from
Holborn. It appeared to have originated in the lower
part of the premises, and notwithstanding the High Hol-
born, Farringdon-street, Crown-street, West of England,
and other engines of the brigade were in surprising quick
attendance, in a few minutes the flames had spread to
every room in the house, three stories high, and princi-
pally occupied by lodgers. The water was abundantly
supplied to the firemen, and by two o'clock the flames
were subdued, not, however, until Mr. Powell's house
and the whole contents were destroyed, and the two
houses on each side damaged. After some time the in-
mates were ascertained to have been saved (except two)
a man and woman, lodgers in the upper rooms. The
woman, who was far advanced in pregnancy, was found
lying by the windows on their own floor, and deceased's
husband was found lying on his back apparently lifeless
in the yard. Both were instantly removed, the former
in a shell to St. Andrew's workhouse, and the latter to
King's College Hospital, but so dreadfully burnt that
the medical authori:ies considered his cass hopeless.
All the lodgers were persons in poor circumstances,
and have lost every Fortiori of their humble furniture.
Mr. Powell is insured in the Licensed Victuallers'-
office.
BANKRUPTCY OF MESSRS. BOWLES, OGDEN, AND
CO.—The amount of the dividend about to be declared
on the estate of Messrs. Bowles, Ogden, Wyndham, and
Barrow, who failed in 1810, will be merely nominal,
probably not amounting to a farthing in the pound.
Since the last was declared, in 1826, a small sum has
been received by the official assignee, whose object now
is to divide it ansorig the creditors, to relieve himself
from responsibility, and wind lip the estate. The divi-
dends already declared amount to 16s. 10d. in the pound

DOVER.-I.le catch or sprats on this coast has been
so enormous that they have been retailed at a penny and
three half-pence per one hundred and twenty for the last
week. Many of them were as lar;4o as small herrings,
and proved a great tri at, particularly to the poor.—
