DRATLI OF WILLIAM BECKFORD, ESQ.—We have
to announce the demise of the above venerable gentleman,
father of the Duchess of Hamilton, who died at his residence
at Bath, on Thursday morning, at the advanced age of 84.
The deceased gentleman was distinguished by his literary
attainments, and was the former proprietor of the celebrated
seat, Fonthill Abb?y, Wills. The Duchess of Hamilton and
the Countess of Lincoln are staying at Bath, where the Duke
and the Marquis and Marchioness of Douglas are also ex-
pected from the north.

The Sydenham.steam-vessel was commissioned at
Woolwich on Monday,- by Lieutenant D R. B. Mapleton,
and is to have a crew of sixty men. She has been placed
under orders to leave Woolwich on the 10th instant for Russia,
to bring home Lord Stuart de Rothsav, recently Ambassador
at the Court of St. Petersburgh. The Hon. John A. D.
Bloomsfield, son of Lieutenant-General Lord Bloomfield,
G.C.B. and G.C.H., Commandant of the Garrison- at Wool-
wich, has succeeded- Lord Stuart ate Rothsay, as Ambassa-
dor to the Court of St. Petersburgh.
Miss KELLY'S THEATRE.—This little theatre was
last night put in requisition for the benefit of the charitable
fund for the unemployed needlewomen. 'robin's comedy of
the Honeynzoon, and the atterpiece of Charles IL, acted by
a party of amateur members of the Middle Temple, formed
the entertainments of the evening. The house was well,
and, we hope, productively attended. The gentlemen per-
formers afforded much amusement to their auditors, who
called for them all respectively, and rewarded their benevo-
lent exertions with. at least a basket-full of bouquets.
