DEATH EXTRAORDINARY.

Saturday morning, at her residence in Castle-street, at
a very advanced age, Dame Corporation Tory, the last
surviving branch of an ancient and very, very re-
spectable family. This event had been long antici-
pated by every body who beheld the old lady gradu-
ally declining under the vast accumulation of disor-
ders by which she has been afflicted for so many years,
but she herself never appeared, until the very last, to
have any idea of her approaching end. It is melan-
Choly to have to relate that she continued the irregu-
lar and vicious course of life for which she had al-
ways been so notorious, up to the very hour of her
departure. In her days of health and strength her
most intimate friends could never discover what reli-
gion she professed, but, it is supposed, from her wish-
ing, in her expiring moments, to assign over a large
portion of her property to endow Churches and say
masses for her soul, that she had a secret leaning to-
wards Popery. She has left behind her a large fa-
mily of illegitimate children—there are no less than
thirty-seven little Tories thrown upon the world al-
together destitute and unprovided for, after being ac-
customed to every luxury and pampered upon every
delicacy. As no will has yet been discovered, her
great accumulation of property will go, of course, to
the heir at law. It is, indeed, pretended that the
two priests who visited her during her last illness,
obtained from her an instrument making over to them
fifty thousand pounds each ; but she had altogether
lost the use of her faculties, and been non compos
mentis since the stroke of paralysis which attacked
her about four months since, the validity of the do-
cument, should it be found to exist, will be disputed,
and no doubt it will be set aside. The Mayor, who
was the favourite child of the old lady, is, we under-
stand, utterly inconsolable at the bereavement he has
suffered, and the loss of the splendid establishment
from which he is expelled.—Liverpool Chronicle.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK.

FALMOUTH, DEC. 26.—His Majesty's stea;ner Firefly
arrived from the Mediterranean—left Corfu on the 24th ult.,
—Patras on the 3d Dec.,—Malta on the 9th—Gibraltar on the
18th—with mails. The only account of interest she brings
is from Greece, and that is of little import.
Montreal Papers have bean received to the 25th November,
and Quebec to the 19th Nov. The Montreal Papers state
that there had been a continual fall of snow, and the roads
.were sufficiently covered to allow the use of the winter ve-
hicles. All the shipping had left the port, except a few
barges and some oyster schooners.
The Montreal Papers of the 21st Nov. state that "the
Earl of Gosford came down to the Council on Wednesday,
and gave assent to the only two Bills which had passed the
two Houses—the Defraying the Washerwomen's Bills of the
Gentlemen of the Assembly, and for tKansporting of the con-
victs. The House passed a resolution for appointing Mr.
Roebuck the agent, in consequence of the failure of the Bill
of his salary, which is to be paid out of the contingent ex-
penses of the 22,0001., so cheerfully granted to the Assembly
for this and other purposes."
Our other arrivals this morning are two French, two Ostend,
one Dutch, and the Malta mails ; with very few ship letters.
