Mr. Roebuck, who has lately been so ill that a
short time since his decease was currently re ported in
Bath, is, it appears, so far recovered as to be enabled to
proceed on a professional visit to the Yorkshire Sessions.

THE LATE FA IL URE.—The rumours which
have lately been so much afloat, and which, from no real
reasons being given, have, no doubt, tended seriously
to injure public confidence, are now generally be-
lieved to refer to the firm of Samuel Eastwood and
Company, wool-brokers, and partly engaged in ma-
nufacturing. The liabilities of the firm are said to
be 27,0001. On Saturday last, Samuel Eastwood was
brought before our Magistrates, charged with forging
four bills of exchange, but was remanded-till Saturday
nest, to -produce further evidence. The flat in bank-
rnptcy was opened on Monday last. On Tuesday, Mr.
Cheesebrough applied to the Magistrates to have Mr.
Eastwood removed from the Cherry-tree Inn, where he
was in custody, and where he did not think he was safe.
The Magistrates granted leave to Mr. C. to remove him.

RICHMOND PARK.—We extract the following
from the Richmond Guide. At the present moment it is
singularly appropriate :—" In 1758 Royalty experienced
another mortification on account of this park. The
Princess Amelia, daughter of George 11., excluded the
public from the park, and the public dutifully submitted
to the injustice, until a sturdy avenger arose in the per-
son of John Lewis, a brewer of Richmond, who, appeal-
ing to the laws of his country, recovered the right of
entering the park. Lewis afterwards became poor, and
it is gratifying to be enabled to add that the inhabitants
of Richmond testified their gratitude by supporting him
in comfort for the remainder of his life. His memory is
still venerated by them, and his portraits are eagerly
sought for." It will follow, by the foregoing extract,
that, although attempts may be made by persons in autho-
rity to curtail the enjoyments of the public, the latter are
legally entitled to enter Richmond Park ; and it is to
be hpped there is yet public spirit enough among the
inhabitants of Richmond to enforce the rights of the
public, particularly as the town owes its existence to the
support of the visitors.

the late Admiral Sir Thomas Williams.
G.C.8., whose death at Burwood House, Surrey, on
Sunday last, appeared in our obituary on Wednesday, had
been in the navy upwards of 65 years. He was in 1779
promoted to a lieutenancy, and in 1790 obtained post
rank, and in the war with Holland and France ably dis-
tinguished himself. In 1811, in consideration of his
services, he was made Commander-in-Chief at the Nore,
where he remained until 1814. He was latterly ap-
pointed Groom of the Bedchamber to his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Sussex.

THREE MEN DROWNED.—During the gale
on Tuesday, the sth inst., a sloop, believed to be the
Margaret and Mary of Dundee, Captain Rollo, laden
with coals from Alloa, having three persons on board,
was seen to go down off Borruwstouness. Carrying too
much canvass, as it is said, she was thrown nearly on her
beam-ends with her mainsail in the water. It is conjec-
tured that while in this position she had filled with water
by the hatches, which do not seem to have been properly
secured, as one has since been found floating. On right-
ing, the vessel gave a heavy lurch or two, and went
down. The Diana, for Grangemouth, was within a few
yards of her, but being to leeward, and having lost their
boat in the storm, the crew could render ao assistance.
A boat was instantly manned, and put off from Borrow-
stouness pier for the fatal spot. A Grangemouth pilot
also, who happened to be there, notwithstanding the
severity of the weather, bravely set his sail, and followed
the example ; but their praiseworthy efforts were of no
avail. Nothing of the vessel was seen save an empty
cask floating, and the crew had sunk to rise no more.—

A PLURALIST.—By the death of Dr. Fo-
rester, uncle of Lord Forester, a large amount of church
patronage becomes vacant, the Rev. Dr. having, as ap-
peared by the report of the Ecclesiastical Revenue
Commissioners, held the following preferments :
Prebend in the Cathedral of Worcester ; Vicarage of
Saint John in Bedwardine ; Rectory of Little Wenlock,
Salop ; Rectory of Broseley, Salop ; Rectory of Linley,
Salop ; and perpetual Curacy of Benthall, Salop.— Wor-
cester Chronicle.
BUOY FOR THE DISCOVERY Of SHIP-
WRECKED VESSELS.—Mr. J. Hodges, Beauvoir-place,
Kingsland, has lately invented a buoy, simple in its con-
struction, which may be readily taken to pieces and put
together, capable of containing more than a hundred
letters, log-book, or any papers not exceeding 101 b.
weight. The loss of the President led to the invention,
and had the ship possessed any
thing of the kind, in all
probability her destiny would long ere this have teen
L positively known.
