GREAT LEVEL OF THE WASH.—During the last week
considerable progress has been made in the important nego-
tiations which are proceeding between the undertakers and
the parties interested on both sides of the estuary. Two
meetings were held in London in the course of the past week,
which were attended by several of the most influential of the
frontagers in Norfolk and Lincolnshire, and an arrangement
suggested, which, it is trusted, will lead to the eventual com-
promise i.f all conflicting claims'; indeed, the frank avowal
by the company of their intention to respect all existing
rights to their full extent, and the equally frank avowal of
the frontagers to give this great undertaking fair considera-
tion, seem to leave little doubt of its ultimate accomplish-
ment. A suggestion was made that the plan would be more
acceptable to some of the leading interests if the company
will consent to reduce its extent, as was indeed some time
ago hinted at by Sir John Rennie, in his report of the 28th
of January, 18i0, but, as the sub-committee were authorised
to treat with the parties only upon the original scheme, no
conclusion can be formed upon that point until a future
meeting of the company.—Lincoln Gazette.
SUDDEN DEATH OF LIEUT.-GENERAL SIR. WILLIAM
HENRY PRINGLE. G.C.B.—We have to announce the death
of the above gallant general, whose demise took place on
Wednesday afternoon, at the family residence, in Stratford-
place. We understand that the deceased general, who had
been out walking, came home shortly before three o'clock,
and then complained of a pain in his left shoulder, but did
not give any alarm. At half-past four he suddenly fell down
in his room, and expired. The deceased officer was colonel
of the 45th regiment, and had been in the army upwards of
48 years. He served throughout the Peninsular war, under
the Duke of Wellington, and for his distinguished services at
Salamanca, the passage of the Pyrenees, Nieolle, and Nive,
received a cross. Subsequently., he was severely wounded in
France, in 1814. In consideration of his bravely on several
occasions he was nominated a G.C.H. His commission bears
date as follows :—Cornet, July 6, 1792 ; lieutenant, Feb. 24,
major, Sept. 19, 1795 ;
1793 ; captain, Oct. 15, 1794 ;lieut.-
colonel, Dec. 5, 1799; colonel, Oct. 25, 1809; major-general,
Jan. 1, 1812 ; and lieutenant-general, May 27, 1825. The
late gallant general was nearly 70 years of age.—morning
