DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF MEATH.

Disimits, Jour 13.—With deep regret I have to announce
the death of the Right Rev. Dr. Dickenson, Lord Bishop of
:death, which took place yesterday, at the See Home, Ard-
bracean, after a few days' illness of typhus fever. Dr. Dicken-
son had been the rector of the parish of St. Anne, in this city,
and ckaplain to the Archbishop of Dublin. His elevation to
the bi-hoprie of Meath, last year, was one of the latest ap-
pointment& of Lord Fortescue, who, in that instance, was ac•
tuated by the motive which influenced all his church appoint-
ments, namely, the yromotion of a zeatous, learned, and exem-
plary clergyman ; and that Ilr. Dickenson deserved this cha-
racter is admitted by all parties here.
Two of the candidates named for the vacant see are Arch-
deacon Torrent, brother of the Judge, and the Rev. Robert
Daly, the Dean of St. Patrick (according to the late decision
of the Judge of the Prerogative Court, aga'nst which, however,
these is an appeal), but many other candidates will, no doubt,
soon be in the field. _ _ .

The Kerry Post contains the following :
" KILLAItNEY.—The lion. William Browne, M.P., has
transmitted to Christopher (allwcy. Esq., the sum of one
hundred pounds, to be distributed to the poor of Killarney.
This handsome donation is peculiarly seasonable at the
present moment, when the distress of the poorer classes
had neatly reached its height, and is in strict character with
the munificent charities of his noble brother, the Earl of Ken-
more, at whose gates hundreds of poor families continue to be
supplied daily with food since the commencement of the present
season of distress."
We are happy (says the Londonderry Journal) to say that
the only celebration of this cnnivcrsary, which took place this
morning, was by a band of abut thirty or forty persons, who
at about twelve o'clock, fired six or seven shots from a small
brass cannon ; but their number was too insignificant to attract
the notice of the police, who were in readiness to act, had their
services been required.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

FROM THE HORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY•

TIMES.—The activity that has prevailed at the Custom-
house ever since the new tariff has come into operation is con-
sidered to be without precedent, the total amount of entries
for import on Monday having been 3,036, on Tuesday 2,595,
and on Wednesday (yesterday) 2,001 ; while the usual average
of 'a day's entries is only from 1,100 to 1,200. Nor do these
numbers alone show the whole increase, for not only is the
number of entries great beyond precedent, but the quantity of
goods, which the chief part of the entries represents, is more
than usually large, on account of the reduction• of the dutiss.
So large in particular have been the quantities of cabinet woods
and dye-stuffs entered for home consumption, that there is
every reason to hope that at least two important kinds of
British manufacture will receive a material impulse.
CHRONICLE.—We perceive that Mr. Goulburn has made
signals of land for the bona jidc holders to the repudiated Ex-
chequer hills, although the reply he made to Mr. Grimsditch
is of a very reserved description. The Commissioners, it
seems, have examined 130 witnesses, and their labours are
drawing to a close. This is somsthing to maintain hope, but it
is far from satisfactory, and we trust that the Noble and
Learned Lord at the head of the Commission will put an end
to apprehensions of those concerned by intimating that be
has completed his arduous labours. The public ex;sects that
Parliament will give a decision on the Report of the Commis-
sion before the prorogation, and great injustice will be inflicted
on the individual holders of the impounded Exchequer
bills if they be kept in suspense until February, 1843.
We do not believe that the independent Members of the House
of Commons will permit such a course of conduct, even if the
Government should feel indisposed to act without some pres-
sure. Seeing that. the claims involved amount to 400,0001.,
we can easily imagine that Mr. Goulburn would not be sorry
to allow them to remain over until a more convenient season.
We never yet heard of a Chancellor of the Exchequer who did
not readily show his back to claimants on the public purse.
The present holder of the strings is an old hand at these mat-
ters, and can put off his friends quite as coolly as his oppo-
nents in such cases. He can afford, too, to show indifference,
as his party is so strong ; but this circumstance should make
the cause of the bona fide holders of the repudiated Exche-
quer bills the more es rtain of support by these Honourable
Members who are desirous to act with justice, and to obtain
redress for these whose interests ate solely in their hands.

DEATH of the DUKE of ORLEANS,
In addition to the particulars of the melancholy death
of the Duke of Orleans on Wednesday morning, which
appeared in yesterday's Sun, we are enabled to publish
the following official and authentic account up to a lat..
hour on Wednesday night :
"PARIS, WEDNESDAY, 9 P.M.
" The official account I üblishei by the Government is

as follows :
" A dreadful disaSter has fallen upon the King, the
Royal family, and France. The Prince Royal is dead
This morning at half-past ten, the Duke of Orleans went
to Neuilly, to take leave of the Royal fatuity, intending
to set off in the evening for the camp of bt. Oaten A
short distance from Neuilly the herses ran away. The
Prince leaped out of the carriae. He was taken up
senseless. One moment there we ,-e hops of saving him,
but the evil was beyond all earthy, remedies. At half-
past four, after having received the succours of religion,
the Prince breathed his last, surrounded by the King,
Queen, and Royal family, whose grief no words can
express."'
The following is a translation of the telegraphic de-
spatch whichlas been addressed by the Minister Of the
Interior to the Prefects of the several departments
throughout France
" THE 31INISTER OF THE INTERIOR TO THE PREFECTS.
" The Prince Royal has had a severe fall froM Ins
carriage ; he die(l.from the effects thereof at half-past
four this morning. The King has borne this severe
blow with his customary firmness. His illajesty is iv
good health. What a loss for Frawe."
(From the Moniteur Parisien.)

A frightful catastrophe—a misfortune which all France
/ill deplore—has to-day happened.
At noon his Royal highness Monseigneur le Dec
d'Orleans, who was to have started this evening for St.
Oiuer, went to NeuiUy to take leave of his august father.
At the end of the Chemin de la Revolt° the horses of
his carriage ran away. The ,Prince leaped from the
door, and received a most fearful fall.
He was raised from the ground in a state of perfect
unconsciousness, and was borne into a neighbouring
house. Medical aid was given—a vein was opened—
leeches were applied—but all was in vain. At four
o'clock the Prince was dead.
The King, who was to preside at a Cabinet Council in
Paris, had quitted Neuilly. He arrived at the spot
where the accident occurred when the Prince was being
raised. His Majesty was accompanied by the Qaeen
and Madame Adelaide. One may well imagine how
heart-ren ling a scene that melancholy reucontre occa-
sioned. _ _ _

M. Le Baron Fain left immediately to announce to
the Ministers assembled at the Tuileries, the event which
had (Hayed the arrival of the King. The Ministers
immediately started for the purpose of being near his
Majesty.
The body of the Due d'Orleans was placed on a litter
and carried by soldiers to the chapel of the Chateau
of Neuilly. The King, the Queen, Madame Adelaide,
and M. to Due d'Autnale followed the funeral cortege on
foot, attended by a battalion of the 17th Light Regiment.
Their duty drew tears from tine soldiery. Behind the
litter, mingling indiserimininately with the members of
the. Royal Family, followed the Ministers, officers of
every grade, and citizens of every class, who had collec-
ted on the first tidings of the catastrophe.
several clergymen, who also followed the cortege, re-
peated prayers for the Royal dead.
The Prince was alone in the carriage. The carriage,
called a demi Dumont, carried a tambour in front, which
came off and struck against the horses. The startled
animals ran away, and the postilion succeeded in stopping
them when they had run about forty paeos; but the
Prince had alriady fallen.
The death of the Prince is attributed to the disloca-
tion of the iorsal spine.
The King gave orders to General Rumig,ny to depart
fog• Ploaibieres immediately, where the Duchess of Or•
leans then was.
This evening the theatres are closed.
(From the Gazette de France of Wednesday.)

This forenoon, at half-past twelve. the Due d'Orleans,
ho was about to set off for Plombieres, where the
Duchess is staying at present, was returning from Neuilly
after having taken leave of his family, when in the centre
of the Chemin de la Revolte, a short distance from the
Porte Maillot, the horses ran away in spite of the efforts
of the postilion, and there was every reason to fear that
the carriage would be overturned on the slope at the side
of the road.
At this moment the Duke, to avoid the danger, leaped
from the carriage ; but unfortunately his spurs, or, as
spine say, his sword, caught his travelling cloak. This
accident caused him to fall, and the Prince received some
contusions on the temple and the wrist. A celebral con-
gestion was occasioned by the shock. and was succeeded
by a suffusion on the brain,
Having 'fainted in the road, his Royal Highness was
removed It.o the nearest house, occupied by a grocer, and
'assistance speedily arrived from the Tuileries.
Bleeding was resorted to almost immediately, but the
Prince did not recover his consciousness. Dr. Baumy,
happening to be on the spot, gave every assistance to
Dr. Pasquier, his Royal Highness's physician, who had
come from Paris.
Their Majesties and the Due d'Aumale arrived from
Neuiliy and Courbevoie as quickly as possible.
A clergyman of St. Phillipe du. Roule, and the cure of
Neuilly were called in ; but could only administer ex-
treme unction.
The Prince died at three o'clock, at the house to which
he had been carried, No. 4, in the Chemin de la Revolte.
The body was removed to the Chateau de Neuilly, and
placed in the chapel,
All the Ministers repaired to Neuilly, as well as
Merechal Gerard and General Pajol. A Council of
Ministers was held.
The Duc d'Aumale, who was at Courbevoie, as soon
as he heard of the accident that had happened, set off in
a hired cabriolet. Thio'carriage broke down on the road,
and the Prince was obliged to continue his route on foot
to see his dead or dying brother.
His Royal Highness proceeded to Nancy, and will go
to Plombieres, where the Duchess d'Orleans is staying.
The late Prince had testified the greatest p'easure at
his intended voyage, for which great preparatians had
been made in the various towns through which he was
to pass. He was to have taken the command of a camp
of 40,000 men, but who can calbulate on the morrow.
(From the Messayer of Wednesday night.)
A terrible misfortune has stricken the King and
Royal Family of France. The Prince Royal is dead. This
morning he went to Neuilly, to bid the King farewell
about half after ten o'clock, intending to start some hours
afterwards for St. Omer. At a little distance from
Neuilly his horses ran away, and he leaped out of the
carriage, and when raised from the ground was uncon-
scious. At first a hope of saving him was entertained,
but the injury was beyond medical aid. At half-past
four, after having received the consolations of religion,
he breathed his last sigh, surrounded by the King,
Queen, and Royal Family, whose grief no language can
express.
PAins, JULY 13, QUARTER PAST FOUR, P.M.—The
greatest consternation reigned this afternoon at the
Bourse. About one o'clock the first news of the acci-
dent arrived, and from that hour to the close of busi-
ness at • half-past three, it was quite a panic. The
most contradictory accountseof the event were. current,
but at four o'clock a national guard of the cavalry
came galloping to the Exchange from Neuilly, and
brought an account of the state of the Royal Duke
up to three o'clock.. According to this version his
Royal Highness had lost his senses for the second
time. The most authentic account is, that at half-
past twelve the Duke of Orleans was returning
from Villiers in a cabriolet ; and that, on his ar-
rival at Sablonville; he had got into his caleche.
The King, with his suite, was in that neighbourhood, On
his way to Paris, to preside at a Cabinet Council. On
leaving Sablonville, near the Barriere do I'Etoile, the
horses of the caleche took fright, and his Royal High-
ness , jumping out of his carriage, was pitched on his
head, falling on one of the wheels. He had some revere
bruises on the forehead, and shortly afterwards became
senseless. Ile was carried into a house, the King being
present at the time, having alighted from his carriage,
and a M. Duval, a surgeon, bled him. After some
minutes his Royal Highness came to himself, and an
hour afterwards was removed to the Chateau of Neuilly.
A courier was suit off immediately to Marshal Soult,
the President of the Council, to countermand the Cabi-
net meeting. The King rewarded liberally on the spot
persons who had assisted his son.
The fluctuations in the funds were very great and
rapid. The Threes, betbre the fall, were at 79E 70c.
The first sale was at a decline. of 20c., and then they
were down to 79. At the Parquet the panic was greater
than amongst the Cuulissiers. The Threes fell to 78f. '
and to 77f. 90e. in two hours, and in ten minutes 79f.
and 78f. were done without any intermediate quotation.
They left off at 781. 600. the end of the month, and
781. 60c. for cash. The Fives followed the same fluctua-
tions, and left off, at 119 f. 55c. for the account, and
119'.. 50e. for cash. The following despatch was stuck
ep at the Bourse by M. Baudesson de Richbourg, the I
Commissary :
" The Duke of Orleans has just been thrown from a
carriage. The accident is not serious, and the state of
the Prince inspires no uneasiness. The Minister of
Finence gives this information to the Commissary of the
Bourse in order to meet the reports that may be spread
on the subject."

painted in every face. The theatres were closed. The
