DEATH OF JOHN MARSHALL, ESQ., OF LEEDS.—
This eminent manufacturer died on the 6th instant, at his seat
Hallsteds, on the Cumberland shore of Ullswater Lake, at
the age of seventy.nine. Mr. Marshall began life with very
small means, but by his ingenuity and industry, exercised
continuously for upwards of half a century, he succeeded in
amassing landed and personal property amounting, it is be-
lieved, to at least a million and a half sterling. Mr. Mar-
shall's politics were liberal. Though not much inclined to public
life, he engaged in the extensive canvass (there was no poll) for the
county of York, in 1826, and sat for it till 1830, in conjunction
with Lord Milton (now Earl Fitzwilliam), the Hon. William bun-
combe (now Lord Feversham), and Mr., Fountayne Wilson. Two
of his sons married daughters of Lord Mounteagle, and subse-
quently the Noble Lord himself married Mr. Marshall's daughter
FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Friday last, two men,
while employed in sinking a pit between Deith and Dairy, most un-
fortunately lost their lives. In the process of working through the
rock, it is necessary to blast it with powder. The shot was put in
in the usual way, and a match applied of such a length as would
allow time for the men to ascend ; but the shot not going off in
the usual time, the men descended to ascertain the cause. In
their operations some sparks had ignited the powder, and it
exploded, killing one immediately, and the other was so
mueh injured that he died the following day.—Kilmarnock
Journal.

The Bishop of Exeter will leave the epis-...0pe
palace on Monday next, on his annual visitation.
