Lord Hertford paid 7001. tor the exclusive use
of the steam-boat which conveyed himself and suite from
Mar,eilles to Niples in the autumn, to the great inconve-
nience of various persons who were detained for some
weeks in the former city for want of the usual convey-
ance.—Dublin Morning Register.

The Committee of the Surrey Magistrates,
who were appointed to consider a charge of bribery against
the Deputy High Constable of Surrey, have concluded
their investigation, and the result has been the complete
acquittal of the officer from all blame.

THE LATE STORMS.---We understand that
there are nearly 1,200 sail of merchantmen damaged by
the late storms lying between the Downs and Portsmouth.
Several of them have had their cargoes on board for eleven
weeks.

WRECKS.—A great number of persons have
been convicted at Carmarthen, in penalties of 201., 101.,
and less sums, for being in possession of hides, &c., from
the ship Brothers, bound for Liverpool, which was
wrecked on Cefu-Sidan Sands. —Liverpool Chronicle.

MILDNESS OF THE SEASON.--.The pro-
vincial papers teem with instances of the extraordinary
mildness of the season ; and we have this week been shown
a branch from a gooseberry bust), growing in a garden a:
Cheetwood, near this town, on which there were not only
mature blossoms, but fruit actually fornied.—.Manchester
Guardian.

BERWICKSHIRE.—This county is still with-
out a contest, the utmost exertions of the party who are
dissatisfied with Sir Hugh P. H. Campbell having as yet
failed to induce any other individual to enter the lists
against him. If rumours are to be trusted, Sir John
Cam Hobhouse has been urged to present himself to the
electors.—Kelso Mail.

CONFESSION.—Hugh Kennedy, at present
under sentence of death in Glasgow gaol, was visited on
Friday by Goodwin, and afterwards by Cosmo lobes, Esq.,
Advocate-Depute, to both of whom he made a full con-
fes.ion of his guilt; but assigned no motives for commit-
ting the crime, except that he was led to it by the insti-
gation of other parties whom he would not name, but who
were accessory to the crime. We understand that the
Fiscal, in consequence of this declaration, is renewing his
inquiries into the case.—Aberdeen Observer.
A private letter from Leipsic, dated the 2d
inst. says :—" There are many sellers at our New Year's
Fair, but not so many fareign purchasers as could be
wished. The inundations are the cause of their absence ,
some are prevented coming, and others are retarded. Pre-
cisely as the clock struck 12, on the night of the Slat
of December, all the Prussian custom-house barriers in our
environs were removed, as also at the boundaries. It was
a eeneral jubilee along the entire frontier line; the hitherto
divided inhabitants shook each other by the hand, and gave
themselves up to rejoicings. Saxons and Prussians alreaoy-
I.ok differently on each other. The Penny Magazine is
in such demand that presses, woodcuts, and paper are
wanting to meet it. We expect that by Easter, its cit.-
ciliation will extend to 60.000."

DEATH OF M R. OSWALD, JUN.—Not many
weeks have elapsed since we announced the marriage
of
Mr. Oswald, the youneer, of Auchincruive, the *,,nly sun
of the Member for Ayrshire, to one of the (IP:Lighters of the
Marquis of Ailsa, and the series of fetes
end merry meetingswhich took place to commemorate the joyful event. Alts!
the house of mirth has already become the house of
mourning. We regret to communicate the distressing in-
telligence we have now received of the death of Mr.
Oswald, jun., which has plunged hi. disconsolate widow,
his father, and the families with which they are connected,
in the deepest affliction. While on a visi, lately to
Archibald Hamilton, Esq., and Lady Jane Hamilton, of
Rizelle, with Lady Mary Oswald, daughter of the Marquis
cf Ailsa, to whom he had been hut recen ly united, Mr.
Oswald became suddenly indisposed. He lingered since
then, amid dubious hopes of his recovery, and expired on
Thursday morning at four o'clock.—Ayr Advertiser.
MEMORIAL OF THE LEEDS DISSENTERS.
—(From the Leeds Mercuy.)—The following letter has
rbeen received by the Rev Thomas Scales from our repre-
sentative, T. B. Macaulay, E.q., relative to this memo..
rizil " London, Jan. 7.
Dear Sir,—To-day I had an interview with Lord
Grey, who retuned to ndon las week. I placed your
memorial in hisr hands, Lo
stated the substance of it to him
fully, and assured him that, to my own certain knowledge,
many of the gentlemen who had subscribed it were persons
of the highest respectability, and persons to whom the
present G..vernment owed great obligations,
" Lord Grey requested me to inform you that seveitil
other memorials, agreeing in substance with yours, were
lying before him, that he was fully tensible of the
respectability of the petitioners, and should feel it his duty
to bring the subject under the consideration of his col.
leagues in the Cabinet,

" These are Lord Grey's expressions. I could say much,
very much indeed, tin the subject, partly in the way of
encouragement and partly in the way of warning: I ut my
time is so much occupied that I can at present add no
" Ever, dear Sir, yours most truly,
" T. B. AIACAULAY."
