GRANTHAM, DEC. 14.—DEATH OF LADY TI10.•
RALD.—We are concerned to announce the death of
Lady TIIO RA LD, after a somewhat protracted indisposi-
tion. This afflicting event occurred last evening, about
nine o'clock, at Sir Joint HAYFORD THORALD'S resi-
dence, Syston-house, near Grantham. Her Ladyship
was the eldest daughter of the late, and.sister to the pre-
sent, Sir CH ARLES KENT, Bart. of Ponton-house, Lin-
colnshire. Lady THORALD'a loss will be moat severely
felt by her family, by her numerous dependents, but most
of all by the neighbouring poor, to whom she was a
liberal benefactress in the most extended sense of the
term. She has left an only son, aged 14, heir apparent
to this very ancient title, and the large estates connected
with it.

triumphal arches erected in honour of the King's mar-
riage, had been nearly destroyed by the constant show-
ers.— Galignani's Messenger.
There is a good deal of saucy wit in Lord By aow's
anecdote of the fair astronomers. '• Some literary ladies'
being asked how they could he sufficiently interested in
astronomy to spend so much time in watching the
heavens, replied, that they had a great curiosity to see
whether there was really a Man in the moon !"
We recently mentioned a serious disturbance at Toillon,
betweea a party of soldiers of the Bth regiment of the
line and a party of sailors. By letters of the 4th instant
from that town, we learn that the dispute was renewed on
the preceding day, when several sailors and tuo of the
soldiers were killed. General alarm being spread through
the town, the patrols were doubled ; at the same time the
remainder of the Bth regiment was called out from the
barracks, and parading the streets, took into custody
all the disputants they could meet with.—Paris Paper.'
