BRIGHTON, SEPT. 6.—The Duke of York is ex-
pected at the Pavilion on Saturday next. This is not

revive the hopes of the inhabitants, which were not a
little damped by the sudden departure of his Royal

Braham has been singing at the theittre to wretched
houses; indeed, his engagement has proved quite a

lady who had been absent from England for many

refuse her a lodging, and she was ultimately accom-
modated with a few chairs in the coffee-room. The
packet which left the same day for France took over

MONSIEUR JOURDAN, whose death we announced
yesterday was a distinguished member of the French
Bar, and one of the Committee appointed by the
French Government for examining into and amending
the laws now in force in their Colonies. It was At
Jourdan who had come over at different times to en-
quire into and officially to report npon the criminal
jurisprudence of England : the object of his last
visit was to investigate the Colonial regulations lately
adopted in this country. In these different missions,
the discriminating powers of his mind were no less
remarkable than his indefatigable spirit for research,
and to his excessive application, must be attributed
his untimely death, at the early age of 34. A man
endowed with such abilities, will surely be much re-
native country, and by those members

air who bad become acquainted with him, his
premature death will also be deplored.
