n DEPARTURE OF LORD DE GREY.
JULY 16.--2--Lord De Grey took his departure from
„re and this morning. His Excellency was accompanied
Tan the Castle to the railway terminus at Westland-row by I
the members of the Vice-Regal Household, and a few of the
",,acials, including the Master of the Rolls, Mr. Brewster the
I,,a!tle advise, and the Commissioners of the Metropolitan
:lee. On all former occasions of the kind the Irish gentry
of it incumbent on them to attend the representative
‘,tll the Sovereign during his progress through the streets of
e metropolis; but on this occasion his Excellency snugly
4eoased himself in a close carriage, and in doing so exercised
.
wise discretion, if one may be permittvd to judge from the
(Vs' " both loud and deep," with which he was assailed
,alg the whole line of march to Westland-row, which his
r.acelleney reached at a quarter-past_ eleven, and where a
special train was in readiness to receive him. At half-past
even the train reached Kingston, and his Excellency, after
leceiving the salutes of the Guard of Honour, consisting of a
ZlnPany of the sth Fusiliers and a company of Royal Ma-
_ es' immediately embarked for Liverpool. An attempt was
llitde to get up a cheer as the vessel left the pier, but there
'lever was a more signal failure, until some of the knowing
Da n'l
the Vice-Regal train called for " three cheers for
and then indeed Lord De Grey was made acquainted
with the strength of Irish lungs; his Excellency thinking of
VAsarse that the honour was intended for himself, appeared
Ztremeiy gratified, and repeatedly bowed his acknowledg-
bents' and thus terminated the reign of De Grey in Ireland.
4-RESBYTERIAN VISIT TO 1). O.CONNEI,L, ESQ.,
AND THE OTHER STATE PRISONERS.
oThe Rev. William Hugh Doherty, Presbyterian Minister
Comber, in the county of Down, and Moderator of the
Remonstrant Synod of Ulster, paid a visit to Mr. O'Connell,
at the Richmond Penitentiary yesterday, for the purpose of
€Xpressing his thanks to that Hon. and Learned Gentleman,
54,1 through him to all the Roman Catholics of Ireland, both
41 and out of Parliament, for the generous and powerful sup-
Port Which they had given to his Synod in the matter of the
L.Lisenters' Chapels Bill. The Rev. hloderator also expressed
rj.B.,hopes of a speedy and favourable decision by the House
' Lords on the writ of error, and the consequent termina-
fooo of Mr. O'Connell's unjust imprisonment ; and stated
himself and all the Liberal Presbyterians of Ulster, that
n""though they may differ from their fellow-countrymen, the
k
;7inan Catholics of Ireland, on the question of Repeal, they
(as far as ha knows) perfectly unanimous in believing
quit Lord John Russell affirmed in the British Parliament,
that
„ " Mr. O'Connell has not had a fair trial:" Mr. O'Connell,
i'LrePly, thanked Mr. Doherty for his good wishes, and said
he had acted on principle with regard to the Dissenters'
-44, pals Bill, wishing to protect innocent men from robbery
..-ut could not qualify the term in the least, from robbery !
and declared that Mr. Doherty, and the gentlemen with
•:,'"tri he acted, would always find him the firm, constant, and
'ealous friend of civil and religious liberty.

SUPPOSED SUICIDE.-SINGULAR

CASE.
of Middlesex,
Mr. G. J. Mills, Deputy Coroner for the county
tAliddlesex, held an inquest at the Hammersmith work-
use of the Kensington union, in King-street, Hammer-
pith, on view of the body of a man unknown. It appeared
from the evidence that about tea o'clock in the forenoon of
Monday last, some bargemen, while •navigating the Grand
nuction Canal, discovered the body of the deceased in the
!tater at that portion of the canal abutting on Wormwood
eretis. The body was immediately got on shore, and con-
73'ed to the Mitre beer-shop, close by, from whence it was
enl(wed to the above workhouse. On an examination being
I:ade of the body, bricks were found in the deceased's pockets,
theighing ?lbs.,- and the was a mark of a cut across his
roat,--hut which might probably have been made by the
vottom of a boat passing over it. In one of the deceased's
Pockets was found a memorandum-book, in which was writ-
n, in a clear and neat hand, the following, which clearly
'bows that the deceased was labouring under delusions of a
-11Cious character :
L 'No murderer bath eternal life abiding in him. God suf-
„ft! none but those predestinated to damnation to commit
i-destruction, No human worm has a right to take away
~tuluin life—it is the prerogative of God only. Not even in
;44rder, for God oftentimes makes use of murderers as his
4ents, his police who watches everything that passes, or is
transacted, not only in England, but in the fixed stars, those
t'Z'Altiful orders cf sisters. Not an atom can move without

Ha STATE APARTMENTS AT WINDSOR CASTLE.—
It
13: way at one time expected that the state apartments would
remclosed to the public during her Majesty's temporary re-
2.ent at the Castle. The Lord Chamberlain has arrived
at Windsor upon a visit to the Queen, and it is now under-
sed that the whole of the state rooms will remain open
during the stay of the Court, as heretofore, from eleven in
the morning till six o'clock in the afternoon. On Tuesdays
stud Fridays the eublic will not be admitted, nor on Sundays
until hajf_ past one o'clock p.m.
PaLorEte ENT TO GRETNA- G REEN.-011 Thursday
last, Lieutenant Leeson, nephew to Lord Milltown, and
I.oungest son of the late Hon. Mr. Leeson, of the Thorn, near
enrith, Cumberland, who is on leave of absence from his
regiment, which is in the East Indies, eloped to Gretna.
lVeen, with Miss Laura Bristow, a daughter of John Charles
tiristow, Esq., of Ensemere-hill, Ullswater, Westmoreland,

and over whose head sixteen summers have scarcely flown.
It, appears that this young and gallant officer had laid his
Plana for the accomplishment of the siege of Ensemere-hill
with great skill. Wednesday last was the day in which he
uge_tdneda t:thhaavt ettasytormed the works, but the garrison having,
well been apprised of his intentions, manned the walls
and night, that the besieger thought it
not to Commence operations at that time. Next morn-
and• '
the besieged, thinking all safe, made a sortie,
„ up the lake of Ullswater to Patterdale, taking
tbisYtn,,g lady with them. The besieger was not aware of
the the besieged had nearly made a safe retreat into
garrison again ; but one of the gallant officer's sharp-
shooters lay concealed among the brushwood, who seized the
'r Prize, and away she was taken to her betrothed, who
was waiting at a short distance with a coach and four, and off
the
Young officer went with his booty. Pursuit was in vain ;
_th7 ,ugitives soon passed over the six-and-twenty miles to
tna-green were married, and, it is said, they contemplate
`speedy emb'arkation for India; but it is expected that a re-
vmoill.ciiliation with her family will first take place, for that
,-„Pb is passed cannot be recalled.
Tue
FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT AT DOVER..—Yes-
terday, about eleven o'clock, the body of Mr. Henry Raw-
lgs, woollendraper, of Basinghall• street, London, who was
wned on Monday, was picked up in the bay. The body
Vophia Bennett, one of the young ladies who perished at
e same time, was found on Tuesday. An inquest was
on before the borough Coroner at one o'clock yesterday
41 both bodies, and the evidence went to show that the
at had been upset during a brisk gale while the boatmen
Were about to jib her. There did not appear to have been
..
relessness on the part of any one ; but the boat was not a
~A
11'141 elle, and she carried too much sail for her size. The
quest was adjourned for further evidence.
NEW EAST-END STREET.—The houses at the
vir
hi• techapel terminus of the new street which is to connect
9Pitalfields with the docks being nearly demolished, there
tihnew a clear opening from W hitechapel to Spitalfields
44,r11- Several of the most obnoxious streets and courts
; this
in locality have been removed to make way' for this
-,,..Provement, amongst the former being those notorious
gees, Essex and Rose-streets, a public-house in the first
h'iing the well-known resort of Turpin and his brother
..igliwaymeti. The new street having been formed, pre-
!Wagons are being made to commence the erection of a
ZPerior line of shops. The whole of the houses on the left-
dose
side of Red Lion-street have been taken down, and
e required in Leman-street, up to the arches of the
lOckwall Railway, are closed,
.prior to immediate demo-
&lT'. As the areas leading from the terminus at Spital-
F,as As
are very narrow, and unfit for an increased
auLc, it is supposed that the street will be extended dia-
nailv to Shoreditch, to the terminus of the Eastern
euntlea Railway, in which case some improvement must
take•
~Place in Spitalfields-market, decidedly the most incom-
-"odious of any public place of business in the metropolis.
Pala TRADE.—We believe it is but little known
vlat a,
1, Act of Parliament was passed on the 4th July, inst.,
ki.Tie,ll repeals all former enactments relative to forestall, re-
ii,``Le. and engroasing in fairs, marts, and markets, and the
pies
of this new Act clearly recognises the just princi-
vtes
of free-trade. The preamble runs thus : " Whereas, di-
'ers statutes have been from time to time made in Parlia-
, &elf England, Scotland, Great Britain, and Ireland res-
;;tiy, prohibiting certain dealings in wares, victuals,
g,',,r;_eilandl.se, and various commodities by the names of bad-
-1,,"g, forestalling, regrating, and engrossing, and subjecting
itdiver punishaorits, penalties, and forfeitures, persens so
itealt ling; and whereas it is expedient that such statutes as
'te certain other statutes, made in hindrance and re-
ailint of trasig, be repealed." The Act repeals, as we have
who can
observed, the old laws applying to forestalling, &c.
eala argue against a repeal of the corn-laws after this
e. 4/
