DEATH OF THE DOWAGER LADY LEIGH-
TON.—We have to announce the demise of her Ladyship,
which
.took place at Bath on Saturday last. Her Lady-
ship, who was fourth daughter of the late Sir John
Thomas Stanley, Bart., of Alderley, was sister of Lord
Stanley, of Alderley, and the present Bishop of Nor-
wich, and aunt of the lion. B. J. Stanley, the late Se-
cretary of the Treasury, and the Hon. W. 0. Stanley,
M.P. The deceased lady married on the 25th of No-
vember, 1802, the late General Sir Baldwin Leighton,
Bart., by whom her Ladyship had issue the present
Baronet and several other children.

SOUTHERN COUNTIES ANTI - CORN-LAW
CONFERENCE.—It has at length been decided that a
grand Corn-law Conference for the counties of Hants,
Wilts, and Dorset, including the Isle of Wight, shall
take place at Southampton just before the meeting of
Parliament, and will be attended by Mr. Cobden, Lord
Radnor, Sidney Smith, and a host of distinguished Anti-
Corn-law advocates. The Rev. Thomas Adkins, the
minister of the Congregational Chapel above Bar, in this
town, who was one of the Presidents at the Manchester
Conference, has drawn up an admirable circular, which
will be addressed to, every Dissenting minister in the
three counties, inviting them to attend the Conference.
The Rev. Mr. A., ever since his return from Manchester,
has beeu indefatigable in denouncing the iniquitous
Corn-laws, and in organizing a determined opposition to
them, for which he has been assailed with the most vile
and disgusting abuse by the Hampshire Tory Press.
FIRE AT BERMONDSEY.—Yesterday a fire
broke out, about eleven o'clock in the forenoon, in the
premises of Mr. Wishton, a boat and barge-builder,
carrying on very extensive business at Bermondsey-wall,
by which property to a considerable amount was de-
stroyed. Some of the wcirkmen had been engaged in
preparing a quantity of pitch, when, either by accident
or neglect, it boiled over, and the flames set fire to a
quantity of caulking tow which lay near, and, in about
five minutes after, the flames spread rapidly through a
large shed, containing loose spars and timber. Mes-
sengers were instantl despatched to the different fire
stations in the neighbourhood; but unfortunately, before
their arrival, the flames had gained such an ascendancy
that although the two powerful fire-engines from South-
wark-bridge were quickly in attendance, property tea large
amount was destroyed before the .fire was extinguished.
We are positively informed that a shameful
hoax was practised on the Lord Chancellor when making
out the list of Magistrates for this borough. It was
confidently represented to his Lordship that a gentle-
man who had long held the Commission of the Peace
for this city, and who always identified himself with the
popular cause, was dead—and that there was conse-
quently no necessity for making out a new commission'
for the 'gentleman in in question. The matter stood thus
until the loud complaints made here on account of what
was considered a partisan omission were heard at head
quarters, when the affair was inquired into. The Chan-
cellor discovered that he was deceived, and the gentleman
in question was restored to the roll of our local Justices.
Public rumour fixes the authorship of this paltry hoax
on some gentry, whose names we do not deem proper to
publish for the present. Btit the fact cannot be denied.

.E LAST NEW FASHIONS.
The coats of the gentlemen are now buttoned close PI:
to the throg,t, and the hands are worn in the pec-ket.
Blue is a fashionable colour for the face, and noses
slightly tipped with a deep pink or crimson,
gloves are not aorn, the ends of the fingers
brought as near the mouth as possible ; and we
seen a pretty substitute for cloaks, worn when it
likely to rain, in a species of material sometimes usediv;
making coal and potato sacks. Where there are tilt'
in a family, it is sometimes customary to throw a (rr;
pery of green baize, or something else, over the shoulder
of one of the tallest members, which hangs down in
natural fold, but not very full, over the younger brancb!.
We have seen a new style of shoe, very much Nit':
indeed by the humbler class of pedestrians. It is fob;
shortened so as to leave the heel entirely unencumbe;
and the front, or upper-leather, is slightly slashed in
irregular pattern, so as to show the foot or stocking
when the latter article happens to be used with it.
We have seen a few great coats, but in many ms. Mlle;
we have observed that these articles are worn only ej,
substitutes for the usual surtout which is discontieti
when the warmer garment is adopted; and which be',.,f
the last thing out, it is presumed that the surtout,:ai
body coat, may be considered to have gone in, .at les
for the present-
The.holidays being at an end, boys' jackets are trioti
med as before ; and there is about the same quantity ‘
behind.as usual. During. Christmas: there
good deal of open work about the mouth, and a ri
spotted material; resembling in colour a plum-pudding'
was very 'generally resorted to for lining.—Punch.

THE SILK STOCKING-MAKEII°:,,
(Prom the Derby Mercury.)
An address to his Royal Highness Prince
has been presented within these few days from
stocking makers of Nottinghamshire and Derbyilli
deploring the depressed condition of their trades a:.
praying his Royal Highness to adopt silk stockiage
ordinary wear. This address was received 02°66 grd
cidusly, and the following answer sent to Tharaalf_";3
sop, Chairman of the meeting in Derby :
Windsor Castle, Jan. 7, 1842.
Sir,—His Royal Highness Prince Albert 1314 141
ceived the petition of the operative silk stocking.tiaak_e!
of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, and has comnia4r
me in reply to say that it would give his Royal gilt
neas much pleasure to be able to relieve a trade wbic,
is stated by so many respectable. persons to be in so 31
tressed a state. Since the accession of her prest
Majesty long silk stockings have been invariably 11°.5
at Court, so that no new order on that score can te0"0-
to give a lift to the trade. The Prince command/131j
to send the two enclosed patterns of silk trousers so
stockings which have been made in England, and Whicis
his Royal Highness always wears, and to give you
_an °,lll
der to make six pairs of each pattern for his WY'
Highness's use ; and which, if you could prevail AJPi
people to adopt, would be far more advantigeous
your trade than the stockings.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
"To Thos. Allsop." " G. E. ANSON. ft
The above does infinite credit to the head and 108
of the illustrious Prince.

A gentleman of Peterhouse College, Camblidget,
named John James Hopwood, was found dead on "J.°lft
day evening, about eleven o'clock, on the pathway 16,%0
ing from, the ferry over the river to Chesterton.
oil
deceased was found by two men, doubled up in a norr„vetl
gutter, when he gave slight signs of life, and moan
once or twice. It appears that the deceased had been 00
his way to Chesterton, to join a friend, with whonitse
the morrow, he was going out on a shooting party. ;yie.
was a native of London, whither an express was 01,704 f
diately despatched to his family, with the melanet'ded
news of his death. Mr. Hopwood had been just exiin3l_,,-te
for his degree, and was expected to stand high in the 54:
thematical honour list.
AN ABSENT MAN.—There is a man at
-
delphia so subject to fits of abstraction, that if you meet
to meet with him in a crowd, he would probably abs":fle
your watch from your pocket, and make off with it.
then would be seized with such a fit of absence that ,„-rit
might look after him for a month, and he would,ll.
give you a chance of finding him.—Punch. Srg
