DEATH or THE REV. SIR HENRY DELVES
BROUGHTON, BART.—This venerable Baronet died, on the
3d inst., at his seat, Broughton Hall, county of Stafford,
aged seventy four. The deceased gentleman was second
son of the sixth baronet by his first marriage with the
daughter of John Wicker, Esq., of Hasham. The deceased
married, in 1807, the daughter of John Pigott, Esq., of
Capard. In 1817 he succeeded his brother. In 1803 Sir
Henry was appointed perpetual curate of Broughton, county
of Stafford. He is succeeded by his son Henry Delves.
The family property is considerable, and is situate in the
counties of Stafford, Lincoln, and Chester. The title is an
old one, and was created in 1660.

N.Ew BILLINGSGATE MARKET.—Yesterday a por-
tion of the new market was opened for trade, though the
market is not yet finished, in order to relieve the old market,
which has lately been most inconveniently crowded. In
order to prevent the percolation of the water from the
Thames into the bed of the old dock, now the shell-fish
market, a thick layer of asphalte has been put down, which
has had the desired effect. The roof of the new market is
composed of semi .circular pieces of galvanised iron, resting on rows of iron pillars, each being 18 feet apart. The im-
provements committee have no intention at present to pull
down the houses in Darkhouse-lane.
LIVERPOOL, TnURSDAT AFTERNOON.—LOSS or A
VESSEL—The barque Elizabeth, Captain Devey, which
sailed from this port yesterday morning for Maranham, en-
countered a violent squall outside last night, and at 9 P.M.
struck on the Horse Bank, near Southport, and immediately
commenced breaking up. The crew took to the boats, and
succeeded in reaching the Formby Lightship at daylight
this morning, and have since been brought to this port.
