We regret to learn the death of the only child, a daughter
of Lord Brougham; which melancholy event took place on
Friday night, at Brighton, after a long illness.
EARL RODEN.—We are happy to be enabled to announce,
on the best authority, the complete recovery of this distin-
guished nobleman from the effects of the late accident his
lordship met with.
It is lamentable fact that in various remote parts of the
counties of Durham and Northumberland, whole fields of
unripe Wheat, Oats, and Beans, are yet to be seen.

THE GOVERNMENT WITHOUT PATRONAGE.—It appears
from an able analysis published in the Argus of Saturday, that
the cost of Whig commissions to the country since their ac-
cession to the office in 1832-up to 1838, has amounted to the
enormous sum of .C 475,739 183. 10.

There is not the slightest foundation for the rumoured in-
disposition of the Earl of Durham, his lordship being in the
possession of far better health at the present tune than for
some months past.
