D4il .Tll- OF-. THE -EARL OF. 'VAR

BOROUG-II

The. death of this Nobleman took place on the 10th
instant, on board his yacht, the Kestrel, at Vigo.
The following particulars 'are supplied from the only
authentic communication received by the Members of
the family.
The Noble Earl had, for the last eighteen months,
been in the decline of health, his original illness having
succeeded a severe attack of gout. While at Cowes V ith
his yacht in July, he was Considered sufficiently well to
cruise with the squadron of her Majesty's ships, then in
rendezvous at Cork. At Lisbon the Noble Earl seemed
to be much improved in health by his aquatic trip, and
while there a perceptible change took place, hut his
spirits remained good, and he there received at dinner,
on board his yacht, several friends. He pursued his
voyage as far as Gibraltar, and was on his return to
Cowes, when, owing to alarming symptoms, they called
in at Vigo. It was there apparent that his Lordship
was fast sinking, and he was himself conscious of his
approaching dissolution. He expired without a struggle
at about four o'clock A.M., on the 6th instant, on board
his yacht. As to thz. statement of the Earl having eaten
unripe grapes, there is not likely to be any.truth in it,
for he did not take anything fur some days before his
demise, and, therefore, it is not likely that in the event
of his taking that fruit that it had any influence on his
health.

The above details may be- relied on as true. Lady
Chailotte Copley, his Lordship's only. daughter, was
deeply Affected when the lamented death of her father
was communicated to her yesterday morning. Her
Ladyship is staying in town with Sir Ji,s,ph
Bart., who has come to town from Yorkshire tur medied
ad vice.

Charles Anderson Pelham was Earl of Yarborough,
Baron Yarborough of Yarborough, county Lincoln, and
Baron Worsley of Appuldercombe, in the ble of Wight,
D.C.L., F.R.S., and F.S.A. He was horn on the gth
of August, 1781, and married, the 11th of August, 1806,
Henrietta Anna Maria Charlotte, second daughter of
the Hon. John Bridgman Simpson (second son of Henry,
first Baron Bradford), by whom (who died in 1813) he
had issue :

Charles Anderson Worsley, Lord Worsley, now Earl
of Yarborough, who was born the 12th of April, 1809.
Dudley Worsley, born the 23d of April, 1812, a Cap-
tain in the Royal Navy, and
Charlotte, married in 1831 to Sir Joseph William
Copley, Bart.

The late Noble Earl sat as second Baron Yarborough
at the decease of his father in September, 1823, and was
raised to the Earldom on the 24th of January, 1837, by
Viscount Melbourne's Administration, having been al-
ways an ardent supporter of Whig principles.
He was also Vice-Admiral of the coast of the Isle of
Wight and county of Southampton, recorder of Grimsby
and Newport. Ills Lordship was, however, perhaps
better known as commodore of the. oyal Yacht Squadron,
which command he had held for a long series of years,
and during tlie period he had held that command the
distinguished members of the squadron have had re-
peated opportunities of witnessing the interest he always
had in promoting the welfare of that influential aquatic
club, as well as of partaking of his princely hospita!ity.
The deceased nobleman is succeeded in the family
honours and large estates by his eldest son Lord Wors-
ley, M.P., born April 12, 1809, and married to a daugh-
ter of Viscount Hawarden. The present Earl has sat
in the House of Commons since 1830, when he was re-
turned for Newtown, Isle of Wight, a close borough,
which was disfranchised by the Reform Bill. In 1831.
he was elected for Lincolnshire, which he has continued'
to represent up to this period.
An express was sent yesterday morning to his Lord-
ship, at Manby Hall, near Brigg, to apprise him of the
death of his father, and also to the Hon. Captain Pel-
ham, the Noble Earl's other son, at the Isle of Wight.
From the brief accounts received yesterday, we hear
that the remains of his Lordship were on their way from
Vigo, for interment in this country.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
DEATH OP THE EARL OF YARBOROUGH, COMMODORE
OF THE ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON.—This good old
English gentleman, of whom Britons were deservingly
proud, is no more! He breathed his last on board his
yacht, the Kestrel, in Vigo Bay, on the sth inst. He
had been some time ill, but was considered better when
he embarked, and while cruizing in these waters. It is
supposed that the great heat of the days and coldness of
the nights, when on the coast of Spain, hastened his end.
He was a general peace-maker, be it on the magisterial
bench, in the Royal Yacht Squadron, or amongst his
neighbours. His charity was unbounded; he was looked
up to, admired, and beloved by all. His death will be a
severe blow to yachting and the Royal Yacht Squadron.
His Lordship was in the 66th year of his age. The
Kestrel was to sail from Vigo on the 7th with the body,
and is hourly expected here.

PRICE AND CHARGES OF A
NEWSPAPER.
(From the Times.)
_ _

" Why," argued Mr. Hudson—" why is it, if the Times
is so solicitous for reduced fares, that it does not illus-
trate its precept by reducing its own price ? There is
one daily paper already published at 2d. ; it would be
a great saving to the public if the Times were likewise
published at 20., instead of 5d." We may. however,
turn round upon him with his own words, and ex.laim,
" Would that people knew something of the subjects on
which they talk !" Does Mr. Hudson know anything
of the expense of getting up a journal ?
Nt w, for his benefit, and tor the instruction of others
who have fewer opportunities than he has of studying
statistics, we present him with the subjoined account of
the cost of each single copy of the Times, as published
to-day :

Profit on each paper Ol
Now, according to our royal. censor, out of these
three-eighths of a penny, or one farthing and a half for
each copy, are to be defrayed alt the substantial ex-
penses of the journal, reporters, printers, compositors,
correspondents, foreign and domestic, repair of ma-
chinery, and all the numerous burdens to which journal-
ism is liable. We omit to spsak of the contributors to
the leading columns, but we suppose there are few per-
sons blind to the necessity of retaining for this purpose
men of sound education, undoubted intelligence, and in-
tegrity beyond the temptation or suspicion of a bribe. No
one, we should imagine, is blind to the proprieiy of re-
munerating them well ; and we ask, how would it be
possible to do this, and all that is required besides from
the proprietors of a London journal, at a lower tariff
than the present? Could we cater for the public as we
have done—could we continue to do so, were our charges
reduced? Clearly it is impossible. It is obvious that
no extent of circulation can by itself repay the outlay
required for the complete management of a daily paper.
Nay, increase of circulation is itself, after a certain point,
an evil, for it entails the necessity of further appliances
and a more numerous corps, for the due support of which
recourse must be perpetually had to the profits on ad-
vertisements. A journal may, indeed. weather out a
short time on a scale of reduced prices; but any one con-
versant with the exigencies of the press must be fully
aware that to continue this mode of operation under ex-
isting circumstances involves one of two conditions,—
either that the proprietors shall always be able to fall
back on the ample subiidies of some undisclosed million-
noire, or that they shall be eventually ruined.

ACCIDENTAL, DEATHS.—An inquest was held on
the 12th instant, by J. W. Cowley, Esti., Coroner for
Bucks, at Marsh Gibbon, on view of the body of the
daughter of Charles and Ann Rawlins, aged five years.
The deceased went out to play on the previous afternoon,
accompanied by two other children, and she proceeded
to a well in the neighbourhood, near which they sat
down, and the deceased in attempting to reach something
from the surface, overbalanced and was precipitated into
the water, and before any one arrived lite was quite
extinct: Verdict, "Accidental Death." An inquest
was held by the same coroner on the 15th instant, at
Aylesbury, on view of the book of John Holland, aged
fifteen months. On the 30th ult, the deceased upset a
cup of hot coffee over his head, which had shortly before
been poured from the coffeepot and placed upon a table
by his mother. A surgeon was immediately sent for,
and every attention paid, but the child died from the
effects of the scalds received on the 14th inst. Verdict,
"Accidental DFeath."h
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE BRIGHTON AND CHI-
CHESTER RAILWAY.—As the train from Brighton to
Chichester was passing at full speed between Shoreham
and Littlehampttm, early on the afternoon of Wednes-
day, a man was observed to jump off one of the carriages.
On arriving at Littlehampton, the guard was made ac-
quainted with the fact, and the engine was detached and
sent back to discover if any accident had occurred. The
unfortunate man was found lying on the railway with
his skull so fearfully broken that, though alive at the
time this information was dispatched on Wednesday, no
hopes whatever were entertained of his recovery. It
appears that the unfortunate individual, who has suffered
by his own indiscretion, is the master and part owner of
a coasting vessel in the neighbourhood of Littlehamp-
ton, and was on his way from London to spend the
evening with a friend, but the train not stopping at the
