—We hare to reeord the demise of the Dowager Coun-

rington, was born 27th October, 1766, and married 29th
May, 1788, the late Earl of Bradford, by whom the
deceased had a family of four sons and one daughter—
namely, the Earl of Bradford, the lion. Captain Charles
0. Bridgeman, R.N. ; Lady Lucy Whitmore ; the late
• Hon 0. Henry Bridgeman ; and the Hon. and Rev.

Henry Edmund Bridgeman. By the death of her Lady-
ship the families of the Earl of Bradford, Viscount and
Viscountess Newport, Viscount and Viscountess Tor-
rington, Lady Selina Bridgeman, the Earl of YarbA-
rough, the Hon. John Bridgeman Simpson, Mr. Wm.W.
and Lady Lucy Whitmere, 84c., are placed in mourning.
The Revision Courts for the county have, so far as
they have gone, decided in favour of the free traders. In
one quarter the decision has been that an objection to a
voter, whose qualification requires correction by the bar-
rister, is not frivolous and vexatious, and that coats,
therefore, cannot be demanded. 7n another quarter it
has been decided that costs should be given in such cases,
and an appeal has been entered against the decision.
We look quietly to the result of the general revision,
convinced, .by what has taken place, that a monopolist
has no chance of success at next election.—Manchestcr
Times.

We perceive that hams cured with sugar are sent to
the London market from Devonshire. This shows that
sugar is as important as salt to preserve provisions, and
ought to he as free from duty.—The quantity of fruit
that would be preserved, if sugar were duty free, would
be ten times the present amount ; and the quantities
grown by gardeners, farmers, and others would be enor-
mous ; but fruit without sugar cannot be well preserved,
or, if preserved, it is almost prohibited by the high price
of sugar, without which it cannot be consumed.—
