DEATH OF LADY OTWAY.—We have to announce
the death of this much esteemed lady, which took place on
Monday evening, at five o'clock, at her late residence, No.
2, Hyde. park Gardens, after a short but painful illness.
Lady Clementine Ottway was the daughter and co-heiress
of Admiral Holloway, of Wells, in the county of Somerset,
and was married on the 15th August, 1800, to the late Ad-
miral Ottway, RN., G.C. B. ; he having distinguished him-
self in his gallant profession, was created a baronet at the
coronation, 15th September, 1831. Her Ladyship was in her
78th year.

The proceedings will occupy several days. The offers made

MONUMENT TO THE LATE LIEUTENANT SPROT.--OR
Thursday a beautiful mural monument to the memory of the
late Lieutenant George Hill Sprot, of the 2d Bengal Euro-
pean Regiment, was erected on the west aide of the aisle
of the High Church, Edinburgh. The unfortunate young
officer was killed at the battle of Goojerat, in February, 1849,
in the 20th year of his age: and the present monument has
been erected by his brother officers as a token of their esteem
for their gallant friend. The tablet, which is from the studio
of Mr. Steele, is a very fine work of art, both in conception
and execution. Over the inscription is a medallion portrait
of the deceased officer, while underneath is a bier covered by
graceful drapery, and having the hat and sword of the young
soldier, with a laurel wreath entertwined, resting upon it.
This monument forms a very worthy addition to the other
works of art which adorn the walls of this magnificent aisle.

Ho FOR SOUTH AUSTRALIA !—Within a few weeks
many ship-loads of passengers have been dispatched for the
sunny South Pacific, where El Dorado seems "breaking out"
afresh. Several vessels have left this port, and a number are
advertised bound for the colonies and the rich gold diggings
of South Australia. A vessel containing some 60 males and
a number of females will leave to-day for Sydney. This
class of "departures" from our shores will not leave a void
to be seriously felt, nor detract, as a species of depopulation,
from the great interests of California society. Valifor-
