DEATH OF LORD FI7ZHA.R.ISINGE.!

We have to record the death of Admiral Lord
Fitzhardinge, G.C.8., who died yesterday at Ber-
keley Castle, Gloucestershire. The noble and gallant
peer was the next brother to the late Earl Fitz-
hardinge, and son of the sixth Earl Berkeley. His
lordship was born in 1788, and married, first, in
Dec., 1823, Lady Charlotte Lennox, sixth daughter
of Charles, fourth Duke of Richmond, which lady
died in August, 1833 ; and, secondly, in Sept., 1834,
Lady Charlotte, third daughter of the first Earl of
Ducie.

The deceased peer entered the navy in June, 1802,
and distinguished himself.in 1803 at the capture of
a schooner by boats ; commanded the gunboats in
the Tagus, co-operated with the troops in the lines
of Torres Vedras, and was thanked in public orders
by the Duke of Wellington. He commanded the
Thunderer, 84, at the capture of St. Jean d'Acre,
for which he was made a Companion of the Order
of the Bath, and received the gold medal. The
gallant lord was one of the Lords Commissioners of
the Admiralty from April, 1833, to December, 1834 ;
from July, 1837, to March, 1839 ; and again from
July, 1846, till March, 1852, and subsequently,
from December the same year to 1857. From De-
cember, 1832, and for a long series of years, he
represented Gloucester in the House of Commons.
On the death of his elder brother, the late Earl
Fitzhardinge, in 1857, he became a claimant for the
barony of Berkeley, by tenure of Berkeley Castle,
in which he was unsuccessful, and was immediately
afterwards created Baron Fitzhardinge, of the city
and county of Bristol, in the peerage of the United
Kingdom. He is succeeded in the family honours
by his eldest son, the Hon. Francis W. Fitzhardinge,
born in 1826, and who married, in Nov., 1857,
Georgiana, only daughter of Mr. Wm. Holme
Sumner, of Hatchlands, near Guildford. The late
lord's second son, Charles Paget, was born in 1830,
and is married to the only daughter of Mr.
Liudow Lindow. His daughter Frederick was
married to Lord Gifford ; and Fenella married to
Colonel Armytage of the Coldstream Guards.

The late admiral was made a Privy Councillor in
[855, and a Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath
n 1861.

MR. BENTLEY'S ANNOUNCEMENTS for the season

just about to commence are more than usually at-
tractive. Foremost among them are the " Recol-
lections of My Life," by the unfortunate Emperor
Maximilian. Supplemented with a record of his
death—the death cf a true Prince and a noble
gentleman—the work is of a character likely to
combine within itself the solemnity of history
and the fascination of romance. Then, again
the Publisher in Ordinary to her Majesty,
is enabled • to announce, among the books
now immediately preparing for publication at
his hands, "The Miscellaneoui Prose Works of
Edward Bulwer, Lord Lytton"—now first collected.
Occupying three handsome octavo volumes, it is
understood that this collection of Essays, Critta
cisms, and Biographies, from the master hand of
England's greatest Romancisc, will comprise among
the contents or the volume some of the choicest
productions of his pen—such, for instance, as all
enthralling paper on " The Reign of Terror" aLd
the pick of his contributions to the principal quarter -
lies, the Edinburgh, the Quarterly, the Foreign OW'
terly, and the Westminster, together with his carli'l
sketches in the New Monthly, entitled collectively
" The Student," and his later miscellaneous contri-
butions to Blackwood, hitherto known as "
toniana." The work thus announced by 111 r•
Bentley as immediately forthcoming, will, as
a matter of course, take its place at once
in every well-appointed English gentleman's library
on the same shelf with such companion three
volimes as the standard edition of "Essays" by Lori.
Macaulay. The accomplished elder brother of Lord
Lytton, Sir Henry Bulwer, himself one of the
first diplomatists now living, has a work also 111
Mr. Bentley's hands—a work now upon the very eve
of publication, in which by a series of rapid and
brilliant touches he delineates with admirable force
" Historical Characters" as remarkable as Talle'
rand, Mackintosh, Cobbett, Canning and Peel. TWO
other announcements of Mr. Bentley's .deserve also
particular mention—namely, " Cradle Lands," 131
the gifted and indefatigable Lady Herbert of Lea
and a second series of W. F. Hook's " Lives of the
Archbishops of Canterbury."

Mr. DISRAELI'S VISIT TO EDINBURGFI.—WO are

Disraeli in the Music Hall on the 30th inst., instead of

Excursion trains will run on most of the railways on tl'
day.
A " NAPOLEON'S WILLOW" AT KEW HAS B°l4l
CUT DOWN.—This tree was planted about 40 Ye3rs
ago, and has ever since been one of the most attraetisr"A
objects in the gardens, hundreds of Englishman looking
upon it as a national historic trophy, whilst Frenchroeli
might be seen reverently taking off their hats, and OT°l3.
going down on their knees before it. Some years ago
„-
frenzy of enthusiasm in respect of this tree seized the Lond°7
public ; and on several Sundays in succession swarms °
people went to Kow to see it; once, indeed, in so &moo-
strativo a manner that the crowd forced their 'lva);
through a closed gate in quest of the object of
curiosity. "St. Helena Willows" abound; there are'
in fact, thousands in . the suburbs of London DPI
to say nothing of examples in almost every g°°%,,
garden throughout the country. But the Kew will°,
was one of the most worthy, because it was not, like
called Napoleon and St. Helena willows, reared froir-V,
cutting taken at one or two removes from the origin I
but came direct from one of the trees that overshadoigef
Napoleon's tomb prior to the removal of the last stumps
those trees in 1849.--Gardener's Magazine.

mined to save, if possible, the unborn child, and by 10%0
of the Caesarian operation delivered a find healthy boy, 1,01,
appeared in no way to feel the effects of the accident Wll'
had been fatal to the mother.—Quebec Chronicle.
