millions of francs are . also wanted to make a harbour

Wells of Paris now hinder France from carrying out her

We take the following particulars relative to the late M.
Aguado from the Constitutionnel and the Memorial of
)lordeaux Aguado, on arriving at Oviedo, where he was
regarded by the inhabitants as their great benefactor, was re-
eeived - with illuminations and balls, and every possible
demogstration of the most grateful welcome. On the
14th instant, he reached Gijon, where .he was met
13Y a numerous cavalcade, which escorted him to his
hotel,
and, after his alighting, he received deputations
from the principal corporations of the town, with con-
gratulatory addresses. In fact, M. Aguado had changed the
..,lace of the country. His mines and various manufactories had
,Itttrodueed a prosperity which the people duly appreciated. He
aiUl expended more than a million of francs in forming new
roads. After taking a walk on the Quays of Gijon, M. Aguado
retstrned to dinner, and it was at the tnoinent of hi< sitting down
10.4abie that he was struck with apoplexy. His physician
•a• nediately bled ,was
and he revived for a minute, uttering a
t...!sr words, but then relapsed. Further bleedings were prac-
tised, but he exp red in the course of the night. M. Aguado

• s de los Marismas del Guadalquiver, Commander of the
girder of Charles lil. and Orand Cross of the Order of Isabella
the Catholic, with the honours of Intendant-General of the
""Danish Marine, in reward for his services as court banker. He
Ras also invested with the Order of the Saviour, in Greece, in
l eknowle dgment of his services in negotiating the loan to King
, utho, under the guarantee of the three Powers. He has left
Widow eild three sons. The eldest of these children, aged 28,
is married to a daughter of Mr. Maedonald, an English gentle-
Man,
.who was a Consul-General, upon which he gave up his
commission in a cavalry regiment, and entered diplomacy ; be-
t, eatne attached to the Embassy at Vienna, and is at present a
44aamber of the. Legation at Florence. The two younger sons
{sigthe late Marquis, one seventeen and the other fourteen years
are pursuing their studies at the College Bourbon. M.
11,tiguAdci was a nat;ve of Spain, bat became a naturalised
4rencliban and a Colonel in the army, in which capacity he
. turned after the Spanish war in 1804. Madame Aguado is
/4141Span.Ish lady. A part of the Marquis's suite, with his equip-
-4,, ages, arrived at Bordeaux on Tuesday. The fortune lett by
51. Aguado is estimated at various amounts ; some journals
"siare:4o millions, others 6k. -

,It is satisfactt ry to find by the letters from the manufactur-
la ing districts, received this morning, t hat the abundance of un-
c. employed capital, Las to a degree, benefited this descrip-
tion of property. - In the `cotton trade, both the demand and
prices have improved, but still scarcely sufficient to cause any
5 very great difference generally. The extremely stag-
nant state •in which this branch of industry has
been 'for a long time, forbids the hope of any mate-
rial . change for the present. The speculation which
,
hasibeen going on in cotton will, it is to be feared, militate
tgarnst any immediate change for the better; and it must be
added that the intelligence from America and India appear
ao lead to the, conclusion that this speculation has not been
founded on a sure basis. The funds are again higher, Consols

GOOD'S SECOND WIFE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
take the liberty to suggest the obtaining of the cer-
tificate of the registry of the burial of Daniel Good's second
wife, or, as is supposed, the mother of the boy, Daniel Good.
Query, can this be obtained? Did not she share a similar sate
to Jane Jones?—l am, Sir, your obedit nt servant, E. G.
'k P.S. Good can tell of course where she was interred, and
4 the fact is easily proved.

4i ; We find the following details in the Debats of the
71)1:41leath of M. Aguado, which appear to leave no doubt of that
'--tvent having taken place. We may add, however, and which ap-
: bars extraordinary, that up to this hour no intelligence of the
act ii stated to have reached the family residence in Paris:—
t'jT
On the 7th inst." says the Debats, "M. Aguado was at
Oviedo where he remained until the 11th, en which day he
set out for Jigon, passing by a road which had been made at
his expense, across the mountains of the Asturias. He had
scarcely got into this road with the two carriages, when a
storm, accompanied by snow, prevented the advance of the
vehicles, notwithstanding the efforts of a great number of the
peasantry to clear the passage through the snow. M. Aguado
immediately sent back his carriages to Oviedo, mad proceeded
on foot to Jigon, where he arrived. exhausted with fatigue, and
after having been several times in danger of perishing in the
. snow. At'Jigon, he sought shelter in the house of a priest,
where he became suddenly ill. Shortly afterwards, and not-
withstanding the care and attention of his physician and some
friends who were with him, he experienced an attack of apo-
Vi xy and expired."
