At hull, on the 10th inst., after a protracted ill-
ness, borne with truly exemplary patience and resignation, the
Rev. Geo. Lee, in the 73d year of his age. Mr. Lee was one
of the original establishers and proprietors of the Rockingham,
thirty-four years ago, in conjunction with the late D. Sykes and
J. C. Parker, Emirs., and with Mr. Spence and other gentle..
men, whose names are still cherished by their fellow-townsmen,
and he soon after that time assumed its editorial management,
which he continued to exercise almost to the time of his death.
Mr. Lee upheld the cause of Reform when Reform was but
another word for sedition, and the columns of the Rockingham
contain record of the unflinching, consistent, and, at the same
time, temperate way in which he discharged his honourable
duties.--110 Rockingham. •
A letter from Antwerp, May 20, states that the
English steamer, the Rainbow, arrived that morning from
London, having 60 passjtigers on board, comprising those of
the Soho, which had gone aground at the Caloot. It was at
first supposed that she would float with the tide, but a letter
from Flushing states that at four o'clock on the morning of
Saturday she was still aground.
A letter from liainhurgh, in a Frankfort paper,
states that M. Solomon Heine, the hanker, in addition to his
munificent donation of 150,000 f. to the fund for the relief of
the persons who had been reduced to poverty by the late fire,
ordered a thousand rations of soup to be distributed daily at
his expense.
The Director-General of the Customs has sent a
circular to the
.Directors of the Customs at all the ports, an-
nouncing that in future there is to be no distinction of duty
between the Granadilla or red ebony, and ordinary ebony. Hi-
therto the former wood was subject to a special ditty.
The Droit gives the following. as a communication
made to it, bet declines vouching for its truth :—" During the
late catastrophe at Meudon, a child, five years old, who was in
waggons, was put out of the window by a
and held until a man, dressed as a loai:tey of
whoth the
satb bug t
coun-
tryman, received it in his arms, and carried it out of danger.
Ihe parent: have since made every search and inquiry for it,
without twing able to discover it. All
they have been able
to learn is, that the
man was seen with it in his arms crossing
the fields at a distance from the fire. The concealment is the
more extraordinary, as the child was very intelligent, and could
give the names of its family, with every particular that might
be required. Information having been given to the Prefect of
Police, officers are by his order actively engaged in all direc-
tions in endeavouring to recover the child.
Tilt' Memorial of Pau relates that on the 9th inst.
a man, named Idiart, alias Garrat, who had been condemned
in default to hard labour at the hulks for life, upon an indict-
ment for murder, was taken by a party of the r genda
viorment ra-
tioned at Irrissary, in the Basses Pyrenees, afte a l
sistance, in which he received two sabre wounds. During the
term of his evasion, he robbed his own mother of two' ows.
