DEATH of the EARL of BRIDGEWATER.

PARIS, FRB. 14.—Francis Henry Egerton, Earl of
Bridgewater, Peer of England, has just sunk under his
long infirmities. He died yesterday at his hotel, Rue St.
llonore. Ilis Commentary on the " Hippolytus of Eu-
ripides," and on the little that was left us of " Sappho ;"
his valuable Notes on the Literature of the East; his im •
portant winks upon history, and on England's navigation
—the chief title of glory to the family of Bridgewater,
have acquired him a reputation throughout Europe. The
good which be has constantly done during his life has pro-
bably served as the foundation of the premature calculations
which have been ventured upon in public respecting his
will; now that it is known, it may be affirmed that his
fortune has been strangely exaggerated, and that the tes-
timonies of affection which he has left have beeu likewise
exaggerated its the same proportion.

The expellees of the. Army for 1829 are esti-
mated at about six millions and a half ; and the
Exchequer fees on such estimated expenditure•are 33,0001.
Question—Why should there be Exchequer Feesna the
Army Expenditure ? • Are •not such fees something like
giving a fee to a banister's clerk when a consultation with
a barrister is obtained? Are not fSes in either case most

imprudent impositions—and ought they not to be put a
stop to?—Morning Herald.

Friday last, a hostile meeting took place at
Frankford, near Shinrone, between William Sadlier, of
Tipperary, Esq., attended by William Smith, of Bally-
mony, Esq., and John Doolan, of Shinrone, Esq;, at-
tended by William M'Donougli, Esq. After an exchange
Of shots, without effect, the parties left the ground. The
dispute originated at a botse-race; the previous day. Before
Mr. M'Donough could retire, a crowd had collected, and,
we understand, crmmenced an attack on that gentleman ;
he fired, and shot Mr. Davis, of that neighbourhood,
through the head, and severely wounded another person.
We anxiously await further particulars-of this catastrophe.

is rendered unnecessary, as the validity of every vote is no-
questionable,--Bath Herald.
