farmers rest their hopes on such measures, they will find in
us determined opponents. The farmers are suffering from
low prices and heavy burdens. - The prices ought not to be
raised, and we thank God they cannot be raised ; the bur-
dens must therefore be reduced —Brighton Guardian.
DEATH OF THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT. His
Grace the Duke of Beaufort departed this life en Monday
evening last at Badminton House, Gloucestershire, after .a
painful illness. His Grace was Marquis of Worcester,
and Baron de Bottelort. The Barony was granted by
Geo. 111. The late-Duke was a Knight of the Garter, Lord
Lieutenant of Gloucestershire, Brecon, and Monmouthshire ;
Constable of the Castle of St. Breaval, and Warder of the
Forest of Dean, &c. Born Dec. 22, 1766 ; succeeded his
father, Henry, Oct. 11, 1803 ; married, May 16, 1791,

ford, by Susan, daughter of Alexander Earl of Galloway ;
and has issue, Henry Marquis of Worcester; born Feb. 5,
1793, in the army; married July 1, 1814, Georgiana Fre-
derica,
second daughter of Henry Fitzroy, fourth son of
the first Lord Southampton, who died May 11, 1821,
leaving issue three children. The Marquis married secondly
in 1823, a daughter of Lady Anne Culling Smith, and has
issue a son, Lord Glamorgan,. born February, 1824. The
elevation of the .Marquis of Worcester to the Dukedom.
will, of course, create a vacancy in the representation of
West Gloucester.
It is said that Lord Ducie Will succeed the late
Duke of Beaufort as Lord Lieutenant of Gloucestershire.
Lord ..Seagrave has been mentioned, but Lord Ducie, it is
said,-who has been an unflinching Whig, has prior e aims.
The Duke of Buckingham has been suffering. from '
a somewhat severe attack of the gout, accompanied by a
violent cold, but his Grace is now, we are happy .to say,
nearly convalescent, and able to take his daily drive at
Stowe.
We are happy to state that 'Air. Baron Vaughan
is reported to be better, though there is .no expectation of
the Learned Judge being sufficiently well to attend to any
• business before the next term.

Hon. Gentleman in Ireland.
The Duke of Hamilton, Proprietor of the Isle of
Arran, has, during the last twenty years, been effecting
such alterations in his farming policy in that island, by the
breaking up of the clachan system, and establishing large
farms in its stead, that many hundreds of the poor peasantry
have, from time to time, been forced to leave their hoines
with their families, and 'embark for America. Several hun-
dreds of them have also settled in the different towns on the
opposite coast' of Ayrshire, particularly in the town of Salt-
coats. The number there at present amounts to 700, many
of whom can scarcely speak any English. Great exertions
are making by theinselves at present to build a Gaelic chapel
there.—Greenock Advertiser.
The King of Greece is said to have conferred the
order of " The Saviour" on the Earl of Durham.
Mr. Nathaniel Goldsmid, in a letter to a morning
paper, denies the statement that .he has ever borne any
other surname than that of Goldsmid.
THE EXILED BOURBONS.—VIENNA, Nov. 12.
—We learn from Prague that Charles X. and his Court
had left Buschtierad, and are now inhabiting for a second
time the Kradschid, at Prague. The two Dukes of Blacas,
father and son, and Marshal Bourmont, with two of his
sons, have arrived here from Prague this week.
DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—The receipts exceeded
the expense last week by upwards of one thousand pounds;
and The Siege of Roclielle and The Jewess continue to
draw full houses.
The space destined for the new Oxford and Cam-
bridge Club-House, in Pall-audl, is now entirely cleared,
and the excavations for the cellars and other under-ground
offices are in rapid progress.

LIE PACHA OF MANY TALES, by the Author
of " Peter Simple."—How rich in, incidents are these
laughter-provoking stories ; there runs through them much
of Rabelais' vein of humour, purified from every alloy.
The two principal characters, the Paella and his wily Mi-
nister, are felicitously grotesque. It will be admitted, we
think, that the reading public are largely indebted to Capt.
Marryat fin some of the most amusing novels of the day,
when we mention that be is the author of " Peter Simple,"
" Jacob Faithful," and " Tiie Paella of Many Tales."

Mr. ESTCOURT then came forward amidst cheering, and
thanked the electors for their exertions.
Captain DuNDAs then presented himself, and was loudly
cheered by both parties. He thanked his friends for the
support they had rendered him, and promised to be shortly
among them again.
Three cheers were then given for the Mayor, and the
crowd dispersed. We never recollect seeing so good-
humoured a mob. •
MEMO.,

Paper.
O'Driscoll, lay imuropriator, has
served a multitude of notices for payment ofl tithe in the pa-
rish of Bantry, Cork, while the clergyman of the district,
Rev. Mr. Sadleir, is quiescent. Archdeacon Foster has
given notice to the parishioners of Killarney, of proceeding
in the Court of Exchequer' against all tithe defaulter:,, with-
out distinction.—Dablin Register. --
ABOLITION OF TITIIES.—FrOM all that we have
hitherto seen and read of the now leaders of the agricul-
turists, a shallower set 'of brainless quacks never claimed
for their nostrums the attention of mankind. They seem
not yet to have attained a'conception of ti fact, that the
price of corn produced at the least expense, when the
sellers are the offerers, determines the market price of
the whole ; and that it is impossible for the growers of
wheat at 50s. the quarter to compete with those who grow
it at 30s. At this time wheat is grown cheaper in Ire-
land and Scotland than in any other part of Europe ; and
that cheap wheat admitted freely into our • market deter-
mines the price of the whole. But we cannot keep the
almost untithed produce of Scotland and Ireland out of our
markets ; and these is no alternative 'therefore but to let
the produce of the English agriculturists come into the
market tithe free. There was ati Ise when we were the
advocates of a compromise with the tithe-owners, and of
commutation ; but the free admission of untithed produce
to our markets alters the whole question. As long as the
people were exclusively fed on tithed wheat, the consumers,
and not the land-owners and farmers, paid the tithes ; but
the instant untithed wheat came freely and abundantly into
the market, and the instant, in consequence of the intro-
duction of steam navigation, a great part of. almost un-
tithed Ireland and of untithed Scotland could send produce
cheaper to London than the farmers of the Weald of Sussex,
the whole of the tithes fell on the farmers and the land-
owners. But a parliamentary parson is the parson of the
whole of the people ; and the whole of the people, as well
as the farmers and land-owners, ought to pay for his ser-
vices. At present therefore a commutation of tithes,
leaving the expense of the commutation to be defrayed
' out of the land, would not satisfy the justice of the case ;
and we require the abolition of tithes, making the nation
at large, if it choose to have a parliamentary church, pay
a general tax for the service of the parliamentary parsons.
Of course the life-interest of those who have a claim in
tithe should be provided for, and sOme compensation should
be made to those who have purchased tithes ; but neither
the one nor the other has any more reason to expect a
full compensation than the slave-owners could.—Brighton

slaughter-house of -Mr. P. Lockie, butcher, Sunderland, in
which was found a case-knife about eight and a half inches
long.
MILITARY FLOGGING AT WooLwicil.=—Yes-
terday, Mr. Carttar, the Coroner for West Kent, attended,
as we are informed, at the War Office, for the purpose of
obtaining a copy of the minutes of the Court Martial held
upon James Ramsay, the private in the Royal Marines,
whOse death is alleged to have .been occasioned by the
severe flogging he received for a breach of military dis-
cipline. As much importance is attached in cases of this
kind to the question of responsibility, viz.,—whether it
rests with the sentence of the CoUrt Mai tial or the Com-
manding" Officer who presides at the infliction - of the
punishment, or the Surgeon of the regiment, whose autho-
rity is generally understood to be paramount on these
occasions. The object'of Mr. Carttar's visit to the Horse
Guards was understood to be for the purpose of thoroughly
informing himself of the military customs observed in such
instances. The inquest on the unfortunate man was, there-
fore, not held yesterday, as was expected, but will take
place to-morrow evening.
Yesterday forenoon an inquest was held before Mr.
Stirling, Coroner, and a respectable Jury, at the sign of the
London Apprentice, opposite Isleworth Church, to inquire
concerning the death of a man unknown, whose body was
found floating in the river on Monday last. - In the pockets
of the clothes were found a book entitled the Perils of the
Sea, a red leather memorandum-book, with a brass clasp
and blank leaves, a knife, a lead-pencil, 3s. 6d. in silver, 7d.
in copper, and a duplicate of a watch, pawned- for 12s. on
the 30th ult. at the shop of Mr. Allen, 21, Clare-street; in
the name of " Samuel Parker, 161, Carey-street, Lincoln's
Inn-fields." The deceased has the appearance of having
been a respectable tradesman, being dressed in a blue coat,
drab trowsers, white stockings, and shoes, and is supposed
to be about 40 years of age. The body appeared to have
been in the water about three weeks, and is supposed to be
that of a man who threw himself into the river at Twicken-
ham on the 31st of last month. Verdict, " Found drowned."
Another inquisition was taken before Mr. Payne, at the
Grapes, Whitecross-street, on the body of Mr. James
Stevens, butcher, of Newgate-muket, who committed suicide
by cutting his throat. Verdict, " Temporary insanity."
