tality was 26 per 1,000 persons living.

We regret to announce the death of Count Kiel-
mansegge, for many years the Hanoverian Minister at this
Cuurt. lie died at his country seat in Holstein, and the
news of his death only reached his daughter, Lady Walden,
on Tuesday night. During his long residence in England
Count Kielmansegge had formed many friendships, he was
very widely known beyond the ordinary bounds of diplo-
matic society, and will bo much and deservedly regretted.
THE ARRANGEMENTS OF THE LIVERPOOL STOCK
EXCHANGE.—During some discussion yesterday at the
meeting of the council of the Liverpool Chamber of Com-
merce on the question of the recent panic, Mr. Stitt ex-
pressed his satisfaction and that of the council with regard
to the course adopted by the committee of the Liverpool
Stook Exchange, with a view to prevent the wholesale de-
preciation of stock in periods of panic. He expressed a
hope that similar arrangements would ere long be adopted
by the London committee.
