MELANCHOLY DEATH OF THE HON.
CATAIN HOWARD —With feelings of deep regret we have
to announce the following afflicting intelligence :—On
Friday last, Captain the Hon. F. G. Howard of the 90th
Regiment (second eon of the Earl of Carlisle), left the
barracks, near Kilkenny, in a curricle, accompanied by
two of his brother officers, and were proceeding to visit the
detachment of the regiment quartered at Newtonhatry.
A short way beyond Bagenaistown the horse took fright
and ran away. Captain Howard attempted to leap out,
but was unfortunately thrown with great violence upon
his head, which caused an effusion of blood on the brain,
and eventually his death, which occurred en Sunday night.
His remains were conveyed to the barracks on Monday,
and there await the directions of his noble father. The
fatal accident has cast a gloom over the entire regi-
ment, in which the lamented gentleman was universally
esteemed. He was Member of Parliament for the borough
of Morpeth."—Kilkenny Moderator, of Tuesday.
FAMINE IN THE CRlMEA.—Extract of a
private letter from Odessa, dated October 28 :—" In con-
sequence of the dearth which prevails in the Crimea, two
villages, in the neighbourhood of Odessa, have been entirely
deserted by their inhabitants. In one of them a woman
was found dying of starvation. In some small towns they
have been driven to make a species of pottage with the
stalks of maize, and, in others, they have been reduced to
make food of the bark of trees. Some p,asantry of the
district of Elizabethgrad, in the Government of Cherson,
have stopped the waggons laden with corn on their way
to Odessa, and forced the drivers to deliver up their loads,
giving them only a receipt signed as representatives of
their respective villages. Many of the great landowners
in the Government of Cherson and Tairride have abandoned
their domains from apprehension of being plundered and
mt.rdered before the end of the winter, either by their
own serfs, or by the lower orders of the people, rendered
desperate by cold and hunger. About ten vessels have
been sent to Galatz and Brailiiw for cargoes of corn,
particularly of barley, though wheat is also very scarce.
They are destined to supply the wants of Odessa and
its environs. But the season is so far advanced that
fears are entertained the ships may not be able to reach
the port. Land-carriage is equally uncertain. Be i
this
it may, there must still remain a great scarcity n
many parts. It is to be apprehended that from the
length of the winter, and the uncertainty which attends
the produce of the next year's harvest, the indigent
I classes may be driven by starvation to dreadful ammo.'
