LYME REGIS.

At the opening of this Committee, which commenced the
inquiry this morning,
Mr. AUSTIN objected, in lintine, that the petition must be
dismissed on account of certain interlineation, which appeared
on it, unless it could be proved that these were made before the
petition was signed.
The Committee, after a long deliberation with closed doors,
decided that the petition could not be entertained unless it vs as
proved that the interlineations were inserted before the signa-
tures, or else the petitioners consented to have the petition
read without those interlineations, and proceed only on the
other points in the petition.

DEATH of TIIE OWAGER DUCIIESS OF Ricit-
moNn.—Yesterday, at a little after twelve o'clock, her Grace
the Dowager Duchess of Richmond expired at her residence,
in Upper Portland-place, in her 74th year. For some time
her Grace has been in a declining state, and has received
every consolation from the kind attentions of the Duke of
Richmond, and her numerous sons and daughters, all of whom
attended their parent to her last hour. The Dowager Duchess
was eldest daughter of Alexander Duke of Gordon. Her
Grace will be deeply regretted by her numerous family, to
whom she has ever proved a kind and affectionate mother. The
Duchess of Richmond has been unremitting in her attentions to
her lamented mother-in-law.
