SUDDEN DEATH OF THE EARL
OF LIVERPOOL.
We regret to announce the death of the Right
Honourable the Earl of Liverpool, which took place
suddenly, at his residence, Buxted Park, Sussex, this
morning (Friday).
It appears that the Noble Lord being indisposed,
on Monday last, Mr. Prince, surgeon, of IJckfield,
was sent for, and found his Lordship suffering under
slight attack of pleurisy. No dangerous symptoms,
however, appear to have manifested themselves, as his
Lordship was perfectly able to leave his room, and it
VMS not until Thursday that it was considered ad-
visable to obtain additional medical assistance. On
that day, however, as a precautionary measure, a
message was dispatched for Dr. Brown, of Brighton,
who was speedily in attendance, and having con-
sulted respecting the proper treatment, returned to
thartown, leaving Mr. Prince in attendance on his
Lordship.
At that time the Noble Lord evidently thought the
attack was not of a serious character for he would not
allow any one to sit up during the night, and it was
only by -Mr. Prince's directions that, unknown to his
Lordship, a person did remain in attendance. That
there was then some anxiety manifested, however, by
those around his Lordship is evident from the fact
that a messenger was dispatched that night to the Isle
of Wight to inform his Lordship's eldest daughter,
Lady Caroline Harcourt, of her noble parent's illness.
It was about eleven o'clock when his Lordship re-
tired for the night. A foot bath was placed for his
use, and the servants retired. It was the last time the
Noble Lord was seen alive. At half-past two on Friday
morning, Mr. Prince and his Lordship's valet knocked
at the door of his sleeping apartment, in order to
administer the medicine which had been prescribed.
These was no answer. Thinking his Lordship had
fallen asleep, they opened the door, and there they
were indeed startled by the sight that presented itself.
His Lordship usually slept in a sofa bedstead, which
stood against the wall of the apartment. On this bed-
stead, in a sitting position, his head supported by the
Wall, lay the Noble Lord—life was quite extinct,
and at least an hour and a half (it was calculated)
must have elapsed since his Lordship's decease.
The foot-bath hal evidently been used, and every
preparation usual with his Lordship before '.Sing down
had been made. It is of course impossible now to accr-
tain precisely when the lamentable event occurred ;
but it is supposed, from his Lordship's position, that
he died just as he was getting into bed, being sud-
denly seized with a spasm of the heart, which was the
proximate cause of his Lordship's decease. The bell,
which was quite within reach of his Lordship, W 33
never rung, which almost renders it certain that his
death must, have been frightfully suiden. Immediate
steps were taken to convey the rns!aecaol.-
gence to his Lordship's relatives, who 3rs hourly
expected at Buxted.
Lard Liverpool leaves Do male issue, and as there
are no collateral relatives in the male line, the titles
of Earl of Liverpool and Baron Liaallteshury are
extinct, and the extensive estates devolve upon his
daughters and co-heiresso. Sussex

Foreign suffered slightly from some parcels being
pressed for immediate cash, but the market has now
quite recovered. Duty was paid on 2,467 cwts. during
the month of September. East India Tin has slightly
declined. In Tin Plates, owing to the manufacturers'
old contracts having run cut, and being anxious for
fresh orders, the prices have somewhat declined, but
large purchases have been made for all parts. The fol-
lowing is the quantity of boxes of plates shipped from
Liverpool during the following months:—March, 39,507;
April, 50,377; May, 42,621; June, 36,990; July, 36,344;
August, 36,938; September, 25,890. The shipment to
New York alone during September was 12,931 boxes.
About 100 tons of Spotter have been sold at 141. 2s. 6d.,
Oct. and Nov. shipment; 500 tons at same price, prompt
middle of Jan., and 5'5 tons on the spot, at 141. for
shipment. Small cakes, fit for the Bombay market, are
scarce and wanted, and would sell at 141. 10s. The
stock on the 30th September was 13,569 tons.
The London imports for the week comprise—from
Hamburgh, 2,285 plates spelter; Adelaide, 100 tons
oopper ore; Antwerp, 61 casks 241 sheets zinc; Peters-
burgh, 5,605 ingots copper ; Cronstadt, 2,982 ingots
copper, 4,206 plates copper; Ceylon, 689 casks, 164 bar-
rels, and 59 bars plunabago; Stettin, 80 tons speller;

pigs lead, 772 gals. lead ore; Calcutta, 470 slabs tin.
At Hull—from HAraburgh, 4,526 plates spelter.
The arriva!s at Swansea include—from Havannah,
230 tons copper ore; Cuba, 550 tons ditto; Marseilles, a
cargo of ditto in bulk and casks. The cargo of copper
ore from Algiers consisted of 135 tons.

The Black Craig Mines sold 226 tons of lead ore
during the
past month, 130 tons of which were raised in
that time, producing 1,2 47 /. There is every prospect of
increasing the returns,
the mine being considerably im-
proved, and a vast deal of ore ground laid open. We

At the Ty7iarahayle Mines, 592 tons of copper ore
are for sale on Thursday, and there will be abuut 40
tons of lead and silvcr ore for the two months. The

lode at Wheal Clitr,:nce is improving at almost every
point; and this part of the concern presents a very fa-
vourable appearance,

THE GREAT MOSAIC TROPHY AT THE
CRYSTAL PALACE.
Few works of art i❑ the Crystal Palace have
commanded more surprise and admiration than the
elaborate and beautiful mosaic pictures, standing so
prominently in the centre of the western nave, re-
presenting the ruins of the Temples of Pzestum and
the surrounding scenery, by Rinaldi, of Rome, one
of which was executed for the Emperor of Russia.
Copies of celebrated works, by Raphael and other
masters, have been executed in mosaic, and have the
effect of paintings produced in the usual way, though
they are attended with infinitely greater cost, and
ore, beyond all comparison, more laborious and tediDus
in their process. As each separate piece of glass is of
the same colour throughout, the graduation of
tints, the melting off any one colour, from its
highest light to it.s darkest shadow, can be obtained
only by an immense number of small pieces, of which
those contiguous to each other exhibit scarcely any
perceptible difference to the eye. The sole advantage
in any degree proportionate to the cost attending it
is the extreme durability of the work when once ac-
complished.
For a long period after the decline of the arts,
mosaic painting continued to be employed in Italy,
both externally and internally, fur the decoration of
churches ; as, fur instance, on the façade as well as
within the basilica of St. Mark, at Venice. Some
have supposed that such productions were entirely,
the work of Byzantine or Greek artists, but the con-
trary opinion is maintained by Cicognara, who as-
serts that mosaic wan practised by native Italians,
and that it was well known to the earliest Venetians.
The works under our notice are the most extensive
of the kind that have ever been submitted to public
inspection. We are so accustomed to the smaller
types of this most minute and delicate art, as to re-
gard its development on a wider field with wonder
and suspicion. The beautiful picture of which this is
a material fac-simile, appears as though it were fresh
from the easel of the artist, rather than from the bands
of the manipulator. The chef d'euvre of the Gobe-
lhas room, the " Destruction of the Mamelukes,"
after Horace Vernet, is not a truer copy of its great
orii4itlai. It is impossible to award higher praise.

as to the number of pieces, each of which was sepa-

estimating it at not less than the total of visitors to
the Great Exhibition since its commencement. We
