DEATH OF THE MARQUIS OF

HASTINGS.
It is with feelings of regret we have to announce the
death of-the Marquis of Hastings, the mournful intelli-
gence of whose demise reached the metropolis on Monday
morning. The Melancholy event took place on Saturday
evening, at Southampton, where, as was only stated by
us last Week, the Marquis, accompanied _by his amiable
Marchioness, had arrived from Bournemouth for the ad-
vantage-Of medical advice.' Our infUrinaie says,' that in
consequence of indisposition the MarqUis early in the past
month was, at the recommendation of his physicians, ad-
vised to leave Dorrington Park, Leicestershire, for the
Hampshire coast, in the anticipation that a change of air
would prove beneficial to his health. Since then his
Lordship has continued more or less unwell, and it was
increased symptoms of a serious -character that induced
his removal from Bournemouth to' Southampton. The
Marchioness, who has constantly attended the noble in-
valid throughout his illness, is overwhelmed by her
bereavement, and it is feared that the shock given to
her feelings may Niue her health. The late George
Augustus Francis Rawdon Hastings, Marquis of Hast-
ings, Earl of Rawdon, Viscount Loudoun, and Baron
Botreaux, Hungerford, Molines, Hastings, Moels
of • Cadbury, Newmarch, Peverill, De Hornet,
and Rawdon, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom;
Earl of Moira, county of Down, and Baron Rawdou
of Moira, -in the Irish Peerage, was second son •of
Francis, first Marquis, the distinguished Governor.
General and Commander-in-Chief of India, by Flora-
Muse Campbell, in her own right. Countess of Loudoun,
who died in 1841. He was born on the 4th of February,
1808, so that the deceased had not attained at his
death his 36th year. On the deatii of his gallant
father, Nov. 28, 1826, whose cider son died -an infant, -
he succeeded to the honours of the titmily. The late
Marquis married, August 1, 1831 Barbara Yelvertou,
in her own right Baroness Grey de ltuthyn, by whom
his Lordship leaves issue a son, I'aulyn Reginald Serk,
Earl of Ilawdon, born June 2, 1832, who of course
becomes Marquis of Hastings by his father's death,
and, we believe, four youthful daughters. The late
Marquis has three sisters surviving him, namely Lady
Sophia Frederica Christine, born February 1, 1809 ;
Lady Selina Constance, born April 15, Imo. and mar-
ried June 25, 1838, Captain Charles Henry, 56th Regi-
ment ; and Lady Adelaide Augusta Lavinia, born
February 25, 1812. The families of Lord and Lady
George William Russell, Marquis of Ailesbury, Mr.
Huruiltob.Fitzgerald, and many other persons of dis-
tinction; are placed in mourning by the Marquis's demise.

COLONEL STODDART AND
CAPTAIN. CONOLLY.

The last accounts received from Dr. Wolff are to the
28th of. November, on which day he left Trebizond for
Erzeroum. He arrived at Trebizond the previous day,
accompanied by the Sheik of Bokhara, Hajji Mohamed
Shereef, to whom he was introduced by the Reis Effendi
at Constantinople, and by whom he was immediately re-
cognised as an old acquaintance. The Sheik has pro-
wised Louse all his influence for obtaining the release of
Stoddart and Conolly. On going on board the steam-boat,
the Doctor found that Sir Stratford Canning had even paid
his passage. One page of the Doctor's journal is taken
up with an enumeration of acts of kindness of Sir Strat-
ford and Lady Canning, and the gentlemen attached to
her Majesty's Embassy. On looking at the passengers'
book, the first name that met his eye was that of -his
friend, Arthur Conolly, written with his own hand; in
the year. 1839. At Trebizond the .English Consttl
opened a subscription, and 4,400 piastres were imine-
diately raised, of which the Russian Consul contributed
1,000,. and the French Consul 400 piastres.:
A letter has been received from Lieutenant Vineent
Eyre, Bengal Artillery, dated .Camp,Kurnaul, Novem-
ber 16, which states that the man Barenstein, who said
that he had witnessed the execution of Stoddart 'and
Conolly, had been proved to be an impostor.
Lieutenant Eyre states that an Affghan had arrived at
Hyderabad, from Bokhara, who left Stoddart alive, and
at liberty. He could easily escape, if he had but the
The Atfghan says that " Stoddart has scruples
about escaping without an order from the English Go-
vernment, being a man of exceedingly strict notions of
duty." Lieutenant Eyre relies upon this intelligence,
having seenauthentic documents. At !Omani 1,200
rupees (120/.) were immediately raised tbr Dr. Wolff's
mission.

THE REBECCA RIOTS.
(From the Carmarthen Journal)

,
We find that Shoni Seyborfawr and Dai y Cantwr, the
persons who, at the late wintQr Assizes, were convicted
for Rebecca riots and were severally • sentenced, the
former to transportation for life, and the other for twenty
years, ,have made confessions to William Chambers,
Esq., jun., of Lianelly.
Shoni confessed to him that he .was present at the
burning of Mr. Chtunbers's twd farms, namely, Mangant
and Tynywcrn. lie also mentioned .several nightly
meetings which he had attended, where' measures were
taken to avoid the military, who at that time patrolled
,the country. He admitted that he was one of a party
who pulled down a dozen gates, which he narned,:-tutd
the several nights on which they were demolished.. lie
further gave the names of several farmers who. were pre-
sent with him in his destruetive nets. • _

It appeared from his statement that he and his
wide ! companions were to be paid a certain sum a illy
for br!aking down gates, and other misdeeds, and that
,he and many others were paid fire 'each, for
setting fire to Mansant, front a publican, who acted as
tieiisnrcr. He further states, that the old woman at
Heady Gate was shot by a lioy unintentioniilly-4n fact,
purely accidentally. •
Dsi y Cantwr states that he was present with Shoal
in Many of his midnight misdoings, and was present
when Owl:lnas of Mansent and Tynywerntwere setNfire
to, and that,he saw Mr. Chambers's horse shot. 'He.has
4nentioned.the names of several persons who assisted him
and Shoni in the committal of outrages upon property,
which have disgraced this and the adjeiuing cone-ties.
further states that the proposition to shootTMr. Cham-
bers was not the wish of any one person in particular.
hut that it was the opinion of the people generally bat
the younger Mr. Chambers ought to be shot. . •
