DEPARTURES.

Sir C. Napier, M.P., trom the Gloucester-hotel, Berke-
ley-street, Piccadilly, for Merchistoun-hall ; J. Ander-
son, Esq., and Misses Anderson, from ditto ; Mr. and
Mrs. Stewart, from ditto ; Rev. F. Hewson, from ditto ;
the Hon. Miss Eden, for the Queen Dowager's, Witley-
court, near Worcester ; the lion. William Edwardes,
from Fenton's•hotel, for his seat in Lincolnshire ; the
Hon. -- Berkeley, on a visit to Lord Fitzhardinge, at
German Cottage, Cheltenham.

We regret to announce the death of Joseph Strut*,
Esq., of Derby, who had attained the goodly age of
nearly 80. He was, we believe, the head of the eminent
manufacturing firm of that name.
We regret to state that the youngest son of the
Right lion. the Home Secretary (Master Stanley Gra-
ham), has been suffering under alarming illness. The
"report of the medical attendants to-day, however, is
more favourable.
DEATH OF Ma. FITZWILLIAM, THE COMEDIAN.--
This gentleman died yesterday, at his residence in
Charles-street, Middlesex Hospital. His disease was
consumption, under which he had been gradually sinking
for several months, accelerated by a depression of spirits.
His last visits to his friends were made on Christmas-day.

The Lords of the Admiralty have purchased the
working model from which the statue of Nelson upon
the column in Trafalgar-square was executed. The
model is five feet ten inches high, and is to be placed in
a niche in the vestibule of the Admiralty, immediately
facing the principal entrance to that building.
Tax WEATHEN.—The weather up to Saturday
last was moist and foggy, with occasional heavy rains.
On Saturday there was a marked change for the better
in the appearance of the atmosphere. The wind was in
the N.N.E. ; the barometer stood at 30 10, and through-
out the day the air was bright, cold, and seasonable.
Yesterday was a sharp, biting, winter's day. The wind
stood due east, and, as the barometer went up to a great
height, that in the Exchange news-room standing last
night at 30 50, it is probable that we shall have a period
of clear, frosty weather.—Liverpool Albion of Monday.
EASY AND EXPEDITIOUS METHOD 01' LEARNING
FRENCH.—Numerous as have been the methods intro-
duced from time, to time for the speedy acquirement of
the French language, none are to be compared with the
very judicious and. unpretending productions or Mons.
LePage, which consist of " L'Echo de Paris," " Gift of
Conversation, the " Last Step to French," and the
" French Master for the Nursery," any one of which are
sold separately, as they may be required by the progress
of the pupil. They are singularly concise and clear, and
peculiarly calculated to obviate the necessity of sending
young persons to France, at the risk o►f morals, to learn
that which may as easily be acquired in this country,
free from the baneful contamination of French manners.
We are happy to observe, from the number of editions
they.haee gone through, that they are getting into gene-
ral circulation.

Accounts of Nov. 28, from Madras, state that the
movements of the troops at Hyderabad were still a mys-
tery. Detachments had gone to Balapore, there to meet
part of the Nizara's army, and the whole would be under
the command of Colonel Bagnold, who it was supposed
would be wanted at Hyderabad. The overland mail of
Oct. 6 had arrived from London. The troops were still
in movement in the Punjaub.—Evening Paper.
Sir Robert Peel has had an electioneering re-
fresher," in the shape of a dinner given by Captain.
Townshend to his own supporters in Tamworth. The
speeches were hotly anti-Ministerial. Captain Towns-
fiend promised to stand by the borough in future con-
tests. " Often had it been said to him ' How useless
for you to measure your strength with Peel !' but he
knew that when Peel was nothing, his family had for
sges been established in that borough."—(Tremendous
eheering.)—Hull Advertiser.
