SIN AND SORROVV.---- -
A subject of much conversa-
tion just now in the higher circles is thepubltihceattiiotnleofofa
"Sinork
of a singularly interesting character, under
and Sorrow." It has been stated that, thougehry f
a
bears so high a moral tendency, as to elevate
that
it
may
ber ilaovaeblOviet
it v
the level of ordinary books of this class, and
placed with advantage in the hands of any one capable of
profiting from well drawn p.ctures of human trial. The story
possesses another attraction in being the first work of a lady
much esteemed in the best society for her talents, and a near
relative of the Marquis of Sligo.
DEATH or WM. ROCHE, Esq.—Wm. Roche, Esq.,
late 111. P. for Limerick, died at that city on Saturday morn-
ing. Mr. Roche took leave of public life in July, 1541 ; and
it was a remarkable incident in bii political career, that
when pressed to declare himself a Repealer, upon the eve of
an election, and when his return was threatened by the
champions of that measure, the late Daniel O'Connell de-
clared in Limerick that William Roche was the only man
in Ireland from whom lie would not demand a pledge.'
FUNERAL OF THE LITE DUCHESS or MARLED-
ROCCHL—The mortal remains of the young and much-
lamented Duchess of Marlborough were interred on Friday

funeral ceremony was attended by the Marquis of Blandford,
Lord Churchill, Lord Alan Churchill, the Hon. Major
Spencer, the Rev. J. S. Smythe, Mr. W. Beckett, and Mr. S.
Dickens. Lord Monson, a near relative to her Grace the
Duchess of Marlborough, was unable to attend in conse-
ouence of severe indisposition.
