DEATH OF THE COUNTESS OF WARWICK..-It iS
our painful office to announce that Sarah Elizabeth, Countess
Brooke and Countess of Warwick, expired on Thursday
evening, the 30th ult., at the town' residence of the Earl of
Warwick, in Carlton-gardens, after a long and painful illness.
The deceased lady was in her 65th year. She was the only
daughter of the late, and sister of the present Earl of Mex-
borough, and relict of John George, fourth Baron Monson, of
Barton, in the county of Lincoln.

POTASH FARM ESTATE, Noltrour.—This property,
made so notorious by its having been owned by Rush, has
lately been purchased by Sir John Peter Boileau, Batt., of
Ketteringham Hall. It is said to be the intention of the
worthy Baronet to carry out extensive improvements upon
the estate, and make it a model farm; and as a commence-
ment Mr. Hamilton Fulton, the agricultural engineer, has
been entrusted with the superintendence of the works for
its thorough drainage. The execution of these works will
give a considerable amount of employment to the local la-
bours, and it is hoped will have the effect of wiping away
the stigma which has fallen upon this hitherto unfortunate
but very improvable property.
THE LATE GALLANT AFFAIR WITH SMUGGLERS IN
THE CHANNEL—It may not be generally known that one
of the ruffians who threw overboard the crew of the Harpy,
when they so gallantly captured the French smuggling
cutter Petit Jules, has been delivered over to Lieutenant
Willcox, at Guernsey, and is now lodged in the gaol at
Winchester. This man, Alexandre Fanim, was the French-
man who thrust the Harpy's men under water with the
pump-handle after they were thrown overhoard, and was ,
captured at Alderney by John White, the sailor who was
s
carried to France by the smugglers. The Petit Julesto
the
has
been since captured, and is now at Weymouth, a
ip
Harpy. Lieutenant Willcox was on Thursday 7 the Harpy,
prize
eesented
with a valuable ring by the officers and crew o
accompanied by a letter, stating that the donors regretted
the present was not more valuable, so as more
the respect and esteem they entertained forth fully to convey

Standard.
