grand secret being known, a chaise and pair brought the rich old

DEATH OF THE REV. SPENCER LORD RODNEy.—....
This reverend nobleman, whose death took place on Friday evening,
w
at the age of 61, was the third son of the second baron. He
born in 1785, and succeeded his brother, the fourth lord, in
184 at;
being previously a Fellow of All Souls' College, Cambridge. The first
i
peer, it is almost unnecessary to say, was the celebrated admiral wl defeated the French naval commander, Comte de Grasse, at th:
splendid sea fight of 1783, and who in reward for his services was
raised from the position of a very humble member of society to that, of a British peer. lie received as well a pension of 1,2001. per
annum, which reverted to his successors. The deceased is succeeded
in the title and estates by his nephew, Robert Denham Rodney, second
son of the Hon. Captain Rodney, R.N. He was born in 1820, and,
was formerly connected with the Scots Fusileer Guards.
f DISSIPATION AND SUICIDE.—On Saturday, Mr. Wakley
M.P., held au inquest at the Elephant and Castle, King's-road,
Camden-town, on the body of Andrew Tate, aged 30. The deceased.
was a journeyman baker, lately in the employ of Mr. Glendinning,
Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square, and was very intemperate. Ott
Monday last he absented himself from his work, and nothing mori)
was known of him until Wednesday, when he was found floating itt
the St. Pancras docks of the Regent's Canal, near to CounsellorAgar's
mansion. He was conveyed to the workhouse, where, from papers
found on his person, it was discovered who he was. The jury in that,
absence of any direct testimony as to how deceased came into the,
water, returned a verdict of " Found drowned."

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—At the sitting of the ACR+
decoy of Sciences in Paris, on the 4th instant, two letters were re..
calved on the subject of electrical telegraphs—one from Mr. Morse,:
of the United States, the other from M. Breguet. Mr. Morse, who„
as well as Mr. Bain, has now befbre the Academy his plan of tele-
graphs, which he considers to be superior to that hitherto adopted,
in France, writes that, in consequence of the success of the experi-:
ments made with his system, he has been charged by tae Govern-
ment of the United States with the construction of several lines of'
telegraph, covering- a total extent of 300 leagues. lie adds, that;
