SUDDEN DEATH OF C. J. BRANDLING, ESQ.
M. P. NOR NORTHUMBERLAND.—We received
the following letter per Post this morning 1—

NrwcAtime-ueox.ritxx, FEB. 1...-While engaged in
the solemn fttneral ceremony of the late most worthy Vicar of
this town, we received, by Express, the distressing intelligence,
from Gosforth House, that CHARLES JOHN BRAHDLING,
Esq., M.P. for Northumberland, had been seized with sudden
indisposition, andlwas at that moment (one o'clock), most dan-
gerously ill. Doctors Headham and Ramsay set off with the
utmost celerity, though we are truly concerned to state, that
when they reached Gosforth House, a little before two o'clock,
Mr. lirandling.was no more. It is impossible to describe the
sensation of grief that pervaded every mind as soon as the me.
lancoly intelligence became generally known in the town. At
the Exchange Komi, the place of general resort of the mercan.
tile body, in the middle of the day, the news of Mr. Brandling's
death created the most lively sensations of sorrow and regret.
Indeed, It was most natural—for • a more public.sputted
individual, a more patriotic or noble-minded man, en-
tered not within the walls of Parliament fmnt" any
part of the British Empire. —To the town of New.
castle-upon-Tyne " 31r. Brandling's demise will oc.
casion a chasm in that generous and refined hospitality,
which it was his habit to exercise upon a scale of geat libera-
lity. The death of this excellent individual will, of course,
.preate a vacancy in the representation of Northumberland. At
present, however, not a word is whispered as to who is likely to
be his successor. Mr. Brandling was in •the b6th year of his age."

the chair, when a Report was read, from which
it appeared that his debts amounted to 270,0001.,
and his assets to e 50,0001., that his difficulties
arose from a speculation in hops, which he was
unable to sell as he expected, to meet the

when due, which he hnd given far them, and Mr.
Duncan, the Accountant, stated, that the estate,
if prudently managed, instead of being inade-
