"The potato crop in the neighbourhood of Paris was the
finest and most abundant on record, particularly in the
plains of St. Denis, des Vertus, Nanterre, and the valley of
Montmorency.
" A letter from Darmstadt states that the Duke of Cam-
bridge and Prince Frederick of Hesse had arrived on the 22d
inst., on a short visit to the Grand Duke of Hesse, and had
returned the next day to Rumfrenheim.
" A letter from Florence, of the 18th inst., states that
Ibrahim Pacha still continued to suffer much, although he
took the baths of San-Guitano, near Pisa, with great regu-
larity. It was supposed that he would pass the winter at
Pisa, and the Grand Duke had placed his palace at the dis-
posal of his Royal Highness, in case that course should be
found necessary.

We have accounts from Madrid to the 21st instant.
The names of the members appointed to form the new
oour.cil of state, were expected to appear in the Gazette
on the following day. It was understood that Senor
Buacos was to be Vice-President, and that the Duke
DE FRIAS, the Marquis DE VILUMA, M. DE MIRA-
FLORES, Messrs. AYLLON, OLZVAN, MESA, &C., were to
form part of the council. The Duke DE RIANZARES bad
arrived from Paris. The papers still continued to write
about the proposed marriages of the QUEEN and her
sister, but we see nothing in the articles deserving no-
tice, No business was done on the Bourse.

Lord Howe is immediately to be married to Miss
Gore, one of the Maids of Honour to the Queen Dowager.
This will afford a practical answer to the gossipping interro-
gatory one has heard so often asked within the last few years,
of—" Is Lord Howe privately married to Queen Adelaide ?"

DEATH OF SIR JOHN MORDAUNT, BART., 3/I.P.
This much-respected Baronet died on Saturday, at Walton
House, Warwickshire, in the 37th year of his age. Our
readers are aware that he lately had the misfortune to shatter
his hand while shooting. His constitution, though robust,
was unable to withstand the shock of the system, and he_gra-
dually sank under its effects, and died as stated. The Hon.
Baronet first entered Parliament in 1837, as Member for the
northern division of Warwickshire, his native county, and
was re-elected at the general election in 1841, without oppsi-
tion. In 1834 he married the daughted of the present Bishop
of Rochester, by whom be has several children. Her Lady-
ship survives to mourn her bereavement. Sir John Wa4 a
