EXTSIAORDINARY SUDDEN DEATHS OF THE
EDITORS OF THE " NORFOLK CHRONICLE" AND " Nott-
wick MERCURY."----In the obituary of the last week's
papers ltt Norwich the death of Mr. David Irwin was
announced. This gentleman had for upwards of forty
years filled a confidential situation in the office of the
Conservative newspaper, the Norfolk Chronicle. His
death was peculiarly sudden, and, from his high cha-
racter, was the theme of general conversation for several
days. On Sunday last, only five days after his death,
great was the astonishment, and deep was the regret, at
the announcement of the equally sudden death of
Jonathan Matchett, Esq., the senior partner and editor
of the same paper, which capacity that gentleman had filled
upwards of half a century. On Wednesday morning still
greater was the astordshment, and deeper the regret, at
another awful visitation in the nearly as sudden death
of R. M. Bacon, Esq., the senior partner and editor of the
Liberal paper the Norwich Mercury, who had been un-
well for the last few weeks, but not to such an extent as
to cause any alarm to his family. These sad and mournful
events have cast a melancholy gloom over all the parties
in the town ; for in truth may it be said that no three
gentlemen could be found who lived more universally
respected, or died more deservedly lamented. Norwich
will never look upon their like again, for in their res-
pective capacities, as editors, none shone more than them,
nor in private life were none more esteemed.— From a
Correspondent.
We are sorry to hear the Earl of Bessborougli is
still confined to his room at his seat, Bessborough-house,
county of Kilkenny, from the effects of his fall from his
horse tk mmth ago.

In the Discount market money has net become scP
much tighter as was expected a fortnight since, for in
fact it is comparatively plentiful, time of year considered.
The new railways likely to be sanctioned by the Legis-
lature will not be so numerous, probably, as the tasnl
advertised projects would lead some to expect, and all.
sequently the available surplus capital may be foal"
sufficient.
Beyond the continued rumour of a compromise ha'
been entrred into by Messrs. Rogers and Co. for the re.
cover). of their property, nothing further seems to hag"
transpired.
The Funds have to-day been again higher. Cons°,ll6
