The Count St. Aulaire, Ambassador for France to the
British Court, has taken apartments at the Railnay
Hotel, Gosport, to wait the arrival of his royal mast, r.
The Rev. Robert Taylor, who made himself notorious
as an infidel preacher and writer, is no more. lie died
in the early part uf last month at Tours, in France.
There is no truth in the report that Sir W. Symonris
has resigned his office of Surveyor of the Navy, as stated
in some of the papers.
The inauguration of the monument in honour of the
Duke of Wellington, erected in Glasgow, is to take
place this day. Extensive pi eparations have been
made, and a large number of the nobility, from various
parts of the cc.entry, have signified their intention of
being present at the interesting ceremony.
The Sampson steam-frigate, of 1.299 tons' burden,
and 450 horse-power' designed by Mr. Oliver Lang,
waster-shipwright of Woolwich Dockyard, was launched
at half-past four o'clock, P.M., on Tuesday last, in the
presence of numerous naval and military officers, and al-
most all the fashionable families in the neighbourhood.
The farm-buildings of Mr. Priddle, of North Stone-
ham, about four miles from Southampton, were disco-
vered on fire on Saturday. An express was immediately
sent off fur the fire-engines, which were speedily on the
spot, and rendered most efficient assistance in saving a
great deal of property. It is stated that four ricks, gra •
nary, pig-sties, a large quantity of corn, and other pro-
perty, was destroyed, and that it is not insured to its
full amount. Strong suspicion exist that the fire was
the act of an incendiary.
The Chartist Executive have officially, and through
their Secretary announced, that unless they are better
paid, they will resign within a month. They state that
until now Mr. O'Connor has stood the needful, which
they cannot expect him to continue any longer, and that
their printer's bill is so large that they cannot give him
any more orders.
Southsea Castle is ordered to be appropriated as a mi-
litary prison, to contain 100 offer ders. Another build-
ing at Weedon, and a third elsewhere, are also to be
fitted for the same object. The estimated outlay for
these arrangements is 4,0001.
On Saturday last the overseer of the parish of Bay-
ford appeared before Mr. James Espinasse, the revising
barrister, at St. Alban's, to show cause why he did not
attend at Hertford on the previous Thursday, as required
by the Act of Parliament, to discharge the duties con-
nected with his office. His excuse was, that he could
neither read nor write !

DEATH or ADMIRAL SIR JOHN POO BERESFORD,
BART., K.C.8., AND G.C.H.—We have to announce the
death of this distinguished flag-officer, which took place
on Wednesday, at Bedele, in Yorkshire. The deceased
Admiral, Sir John Beresford, was born in 1769, and was
the natural son of George first Marquis of Waterford,
and brother of Viscount Beresford. Ho married three
times. Sir John Beresford entered the navy in the
year 1782. In 1796, while in the command of the Lynx
sloop, he captured La Concorde, of fourteen guns, and
when Captain of the Raison, fought a gallant action
with the French frigate Vengeance. In 1801, he was
present, and rendered great services at the capture of the
islands of St. Bartholomew, St. Martin's, &c. He com-
manded the Theseus at the attack on the enemy in Aix
roads. In 1813 and 1814, he was actively employed on
the American sta►ion, in command of the Poictiers. On
his return to this country, he was selected by the Lords
of the Admiralty to escort Louis XVIII. to Calais, on
that monarch's restoration to the crown of France. In
the succeeding month, he was created a Baronet of the
United Kingdom. He was first elected a Member of the
House of Commons in 1812. In 1835, on Sir Robert
Peel succeeding to the Administration, Sir John was
appointed one of the Junior Lords of the Admiralty,
and contested the borough of Chatham with the Hon.
Captain Byng, the result of the election placing Sir
John in a minority of twenty-five. Since the termina-
tion of that Parliament, the deceased had retired entirely
from public affairs, and resided mostly at his seir.ia
Yorkshire. His naval commissions were dated as fol-
lows :—Lieutenant, 4th of November, 1790 ; Com-
mander, 6th of July, 1794 ; Captain, 25th of June,
1795 ; Rear-Admiral, 4th of June, 1814 ; Vice-Admiral,
27th of May, 1825 ; Admiral, 28th of June, 1838. He
is succeeded in the Baronetcy by his eldest son, Captain
George Beresfork now Sir George Beresford, Bart.
THI WELSH CATTLE FAIRS.—Our cattle fairs
during the month of September have been but thinly at-
tended by the drovers who usually purchase for the pur-
pose of driving cattle to the English fairs and markets.
The failure of turnip crops, together with the short crops
of hay and straw all over the kingdom (with very few
exceptions) are alleged as the reasons. Compared with
the business usually transacted at this season of the year,
the amount of transactions has been small. Cattle fit
for slaughtering were scarce, and a demand at 403. to
503. per cwt. to sink the offal; prime sheep are worth
3d. per lb., also to sink the offal. Pork and bacon pigs
are a little on the advance, while small ones, and bare
stores are at a very low price; good horses are scarce
and in demand, while poor ones are nearly unsaleable.
At Abergwilly fair, on Wednesday last, the show of
beasts was very indifferent, and few changed hands.
Horses ruled nearly the same as at the September fairs.
