His Serene Highness the Grand Duke Louts of Baden
died on the 30th tilt. of an attack of apoplexy. His brother, the
Grand Duke Lzortmo, immediately afterwards assumed the reins
of government, and issued a proclamation' engaging to support the
constitution of the counay, and to respect the rights of his people.
Sir R. G. BOOTH, Bart. of Lisadill House, who has just
been married to one of the daughters of Mr. Seejeant GOOLD, is
said to possess an unencumboed estate of 14,0001. a-year, besides a
considerable personal property amassed during his minority. The
present is the second marriage of Si,r ROBERT, although he has not
passed his twenty-fifth year. —Morning 14yisler.
It is stated that the Duke of WELLINGTON has or-
dered a military inquiry to be instituted forthwith into the circum.
stances connected with the late melancholy duel between Mr.
O'GRADY and Captain SMITH. The coroner, Mr. PAISLEY,
who presided at the inquest, has been called on to make a copy of
the depositions taken before him, in order that they may be trans-
mitted to the Horse Guards.
REPRESINTATION OF DERRY.—A very active Can-
sus has been commenced for the representation of Derry, vacant by
the appointment of Sir G. HILL to the government of St. Vincent's.
Sir R. FERGUSON and Captain HART have already addressed the
electors. It would appear, from the Derry Sentinel, that a third
candidate, in the person of a "gentleman nearly related to the fa-
mily," is about to enter the field against the two gentlemen just
named. We suppose the gentlenian alluded to is Mr. G. HILL,
the nephew of the Hight Hon. Baronet, and who at present holds
the office of Deputy Vice-Treasurer of Ireland.—Everting Mail.
The statement in the papers some time ago respecting
the diamond ring given by the King of Sweden to Sir Theophilus
Lee, was not altogether correct. It was given to him on account of
his having presented two framed pictures of the Battle of Navarino
to his Swedish Majesty, and not on account of his having trans-
mitted to his Majesty • some valuable documents."'
Extract of a letter from Erzeroum, dated January B.
" This city has just witnessed a solemnity memorable in the annals
of Asia Minor, namely, the benediction of the waters of the Eu-
phrates according to Greco-Russian rites, now rendered practicable
by the presence of the Russian army, and which the Christian in.
habitants have not dared to perform for nine centuries past. The
Russian priest, accompanied by the Greek clergy and an Armenian ,
bishop, repaired in procession to the appointed place, nine wersts
from the city, where they were received by detachments of troops
with the standards of the Russian garrison, while the road leading
from Erseroum to the spot, and the banks of the river, were thronged
by spectators, among whom were even many Turks. At the mo-
ment when the blessing of the waters was pronounced, the troops
fired vollies of musketry, and, having afterwards received benediction
from the priest, they marched back with military music. This reli-
gious ceremony excited an extraordinary degree of enthusiasm
among the Christian population of Erseroum, and its memory a ill
long be cherished as that of a signal benefit conferred by the presence
of the Russians."

THE COUNTESS OE ORMONDE. —Died, on Faturtlay
morning, the 3d inst. at her house in Rutland-square, Dublin, the
Right Hon. ANNE, Countess of Oanorroz, relict of JOHN, late
Earl of ORMOND', and mother of the late and present Marquis of
ORMONDE, and of the Hon. CHARLES BUTLER (CLARICE), One
of the Representatives in Parliament for the County of Kilkenny.
Her Ladyship_ '
was the daughter and sole heiress of JOHN, the W
late Earl of ANDISTORD by whose death in the year 1784,
without male issue, the title became extinct ; but his great es-
tates at Casdeoomer in the County of Kilken_ny, and at Kirklington
Hall, Yorkshire (the very ancient seat of the WAWDRSTORD family)
descended to the Countess, who also inherited a considerable estate in
the counties of Limerick and Clare, in right of her mother the late
Countess of WANDESFOJID. The loss of so excellent and valuable a
character has inflicted a deep wound which will be long and severely
felt not only by those connected with her Ladyship by the ties of
blood and friendship, but by all who knew and respected her high
and sterling qualities and virtues. To the poor of Castlecomer and
to her tenantry her loss will indeed be irreparable. The greatest part
of her splendid income was disposed of among them in munificence
and charities. She erected at Castlecomer one of the most beautiful
and well arranged towns of that extent in the United Kingdom, and
established and endowed schools and institutions for education, and
establishments and asylums for the support and comfort of the poor,
the aged, and infirm, and the improvements she made and carried on
in ber beautiful and splendid demane (by the intervention of ber
agent, Ricitmtn EATON, Esq. afforded employment for her te-
nantry and the lower orders, andsprmd comfort, content, and hap-
piness all around be: estate and ne4hbourbood.
