DeaTli of THfi EARL OF CLIAR-LRVlLt.E.—the.Earl of Char.
leville died at his lodgings in Dover very suddenlY.en.Saturdev,
night, while eating his dinner. The deceased ices in. his 72d
year, having been born in June, 17431. My his ina.rriv;:e. witU
Catherine Maria, only daughter and heiress of Thomas TOwnly
Dawson, Esq., and widow of James Tisdali, Esq., he has left an
only son, Lord Tullamore, in hiSthirty-tilth year, now Earl s 4
Charleville. The present Earl's eldest son will be fourteet}
next March. AU too titles are Irish, and the deceased sat 53

one of the representative veers for that part of the kingdom, iti
the number of whom his death, of course, creates a vacancy.

We are happy to state that the Rt. lion. the Earl of Airlis has
given the munificent sum of 1:50 to aid in the ereetion of tit:.
James's Church, Forfar. This . nobleman's gifts for,eharitable
and religious purposes are not more distinguisned for their num,
her and amount than for the heart that is in them. The pecit

liar graciousness of his Ip.rdship' s manner exceeds even the
splendour of his benefaCtions. His Lordship, it should be
known, has no personal interest in Forfar, not being a heritor,
and the contribution must be viewed as one, of pure benevolence,
and as indicating the deep interest which he takes in the.reli
gious instruction of the people,. and in support of the church,
that was so dear to the hearts of our coveutituing fathers, and is
still so dear to the best of their chtldren.—Perth Constitutional;

Died on Sunday night, at•his residence in Eaton-place, Cap.

officer was the second sou of. Viscount Duncan, who defeated,
Adinital de Winter, cotnmanditig the Dutch fleet off Camper-
down,. and brother to the present Earl of Canarerdown. Sir
Henry Duncan was a brave and,tueritorious officer, and highly,
esteemed. He died of apoplexy, and has left a widow and

family.
Mut.iitinuotv ACCIDENT ON BOARD HIS MAJESTY'S FLAG,SH CIP ALEDONLA,—( Extract of a private lerter.)—" We hada
very dreadful accident on board here,. at half4asi ten r.m., ott
Friday, October 2, whilst lying at this anchorage (off Zante).
Lieut. Harris, R.N., challenged one of the midshipmen to ;to
inside the main rigging into the main top as soon as he would
go outside. When Lieutenant Harris got two-thirds up he lost
his bold, and fell on the deck upon his head, and fractured his
skull in several places. 14ys. iiillvar and Birtwhistle, the sur-
geons of the vessel, gaveMnediate attendance, but his death
was instantaneous,"

LAW EXPUNSE—CHAMBFAISPS BANK itUPTCY.—In thecourse
of the trial in the cottimon Pleas, on Thursday last, of an ac 4
tion, or rather an issue from tfie Court of Chancery, to ascertain
the validity of a comiribizdon of bankrupt, issued against Chant.
hers and Son, about ten or twelve years since, Mr. Mayhew,
the solicitor untie*: 4ie commission, underwent a severe cross.
examination by the Attorney-General, who asked Mr. Mayhew
the amount he had received front the assign** on account of
the bill of costs in the bankruptcy of Mr. Chambers'? May,
hew said that he could not exactly tell. .Attorney-General.--,-*
" Now, Mr. Mat hew, have you not already received front the.
assignees £30,000 for costs?" Mr. Mayhew.—" No: if I had.
it would he monstrous." Attorney-Geueral,—So it might be;
but many things that are monstrous are at the seine time true.
Have you received £25,000?" Mr., Mayhew.—" Ido not
think that-4 have." Attorney-Oeneral..—" Will you swear
that you have not received £15,000?". Mr. Mayhew.—" No.",
Attornev-Gentral.—.' Will you swear that you have not re-
ceived £20,000?" " No, I will not ; 1 may have done."
Attorney-General.--" And this sum was paid ,you by the a.ssig,
nees out of Mr. Chambers's estate,? Mr. Mayhew.—" It was,
paid by the assignees, and, no doubt, out of the bankrupt's es-
tate."

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISEMENTS.— An advertiser does not
look merely to the sale of a newspaper—he takes its character
also into account : he endeavours to ascertain whether it is se-

dulously read, or only glanced at and thrown away—whether
it goes tutu the hands of the needy, or circulates among men
with money in their pockets, who can buy the things they co-:
vet. It.must by plain that a journal which lies on the table of
five hundred opulent persons, and is read by their, families and
the neighbourhood, is a better medium for advertising property
of any value than one of which five thousand copies are distri-
buted among ladies' maids, gentlemen's valets, and gin-drink-
ers, or which is the favourite of the more reputable poor.—Spec-
tator.

BRITISH OFFICERS IN THE PORTUGUESE SERVlCE.—Extract
of a letter from Lisbon :—" Admiral. Sartorius received Yester-
day, October 23d, the £10,01.10 dile to him, in payments at three,
six, nine, and twelve mouths' (late. The action by several Brit-
ish Officers, lately in this service, against the. Portuguese go
verninent, came on, fur trial on the 21st instant.. The point at
was, whether they should only receive a gratuity of one year's
amount of pay upon quitting this service, in conformity with
what Marshal Saldanha hau ordered, or be declared entitled to
the two years' which had been promised them, like every other
officer who came out, in the contract under which they came
out here. The jury have not yet sent in their verdict.
A great sensation exists in Boston, in consequence of the
extraordinary disappearance of Mi. Thomas Taylor, of Frith
Bank. The prevailing opinion is, that Taylor has been mur-
. tiered and buried, and that his hat was thrown into the river as
a blind.—Lincoln Gazette.
FIRE NEAR BURY EXTINGUISHED ET STEAM.—On Thursday
week a fire broke out in a factory at Pig's Lee, near Bury, in a
boom used for drying large sheets of cotton wadding, which is
heated by steam. as well as by stove-pipes. A person employed
on the premises bad the ,presence of mind to break one of the
stove-pipes, and on closing the doors the rush of steam from
the pipe was so great as to extinguish the flames in a few
minutes. But for this timely interference the whole of the
premises must have Been destroyed.—Manchester Courier.

CONSTITUTIONAL RESTLESSNESS.—A gentleman of the name
of 'Wyon, who is permanently employed at the Mint in Lon-.
duu as an engraver, arrived here lately on limited leave of ab-
sence, obtained at the solicitation of the Portuguese of Govern-
ment, for the purpose of engraving the Queen's profile bust oti
the dies for the new coinage. His leave is nearly out, and yet
the object for which he cause is unaccomplished. The fact
that owing to the girlish restlessness and impatience of the
Queen, he bas only been able to get two short, and by no meant
quiet, sittings, although he declared that six at least would be
required; be now says that he can stay uo longer, and twist be
off hy this jacket. I know that great exertions are making tb
induce him to Wait till next week, and it is even said that Lord
Howard has been applied to, to use his influence, by extending
the leave of absence
..on his own responsibility. The artist,
however, " to the datebf the last ad7ices received," continues&
inexorable, alleging as, sufficient reason for his obstinate re,
fusel, that the orders of his Government were with him para
mount to every other coo deration, and that, therefore, go he
must.—Lisbon Letter tf a Contemporary.

Rumor:RED MARRIAGE IN IIIGG Lll,E.—lleport speaks of
a contemplated marriage buween Lora Stafford and Mlss
Caton, sister ofthe Marchioness of Wellesley. The first Lady,
Stafford, who was daughter of Edward Sulyrade, Esq., died ill
1832. His Lordship and Miss Caton are both members of tha
Roman Cutholic Church.

LEGAL CoNSISTENCY.—Perhar it la 'not generally known
that the same Revising Banisters who this year rejected a large
number of conservative voters, on the plea of their omission of
the names of the streets in which they resided last year admitted
their rights of qualification ander the same circumstances! Hero
is consistency with a vengeance. If the voters were admissible
then, why are they nut admissible now ?—Northampton Ater.
cury.
SAD REVERSE OF OtRCUMSTANCES.—On Monday evening an
inquest was held belore Mr. Baker at the London Hospital mu the
Mile-end road, on the body of Mr. Joseph Tyson, aged 55, who
died in that institution under the following melancholy circum-
stances :—A few years ago the deceased, whor w as a sugar-baker,
lived in much athience, but owing to the great decline in the su-
gar refiniug trade his bu'iucss gradually tell off, and for some
time past he had been reduced to such a state of destitution as
to want the common necessaries of life. Yet such was his pride
that he would not let many persons who had known him in pros-
perity, and who no doubt would have contributed to his inure
urgent necessities, know his real situation. On Sunday morning.
week, between the hours of two and three o'clock, and during
the prevalence of a severe storm, the unfortunate deceased was
found by a policeman lying on the pavement in Whitechapel„
drenched with rain. Ile was carried to the station-house and
kept there for the night. On the same morning he was taken
to Lambeth-street Police-office, as the officer supposed his ap-
pearauce was occasioned by intoxication ; but on a surgeon be-
ing sent for he was removed to the Hospital, when it was found
that the state to which he was reduced was owing,
.to debility
brought on by his miserable condition. The jury, after examin
iug witnesses to the above effect, returned a verdict of " Nature
Death."
RESULT OF THE HARVEST.—The sudden change in the wea-
ther towards the close of the harvest in England, and the pre-
valence sinee that period of wet, has proved extremely injurious
to the crops of grain throughout Scotland, where heavy rains
have been expeneuced fur several weeks. The growth of wheat,
taken generally, is below an average, though perhaps equal in
bulk to the crops of last season, and inferior in quality. Oats,'
which are the chief produce of Scotland, have disappointed the
anticipations of the growers. Bere and Barley are not so bad,
but brewers will still have to look to England for malting samples.
Beans in many instances have grown too much to haulm, not
podded'Well, and will be a defective crop. Peas being mostly
sown on light lands, have suffered friar, the dry weather, and
will be short in the produce. though of better quality than beans,
Farmers' :Magazine and Monthly Journal.
Oases.—Un Thursday, while the sun was. shining brightly
on the river, some persons loitering about the ,Old Bridge dis-
cerned an otter under one of the arches, heating up the stream.,
as this voracious animal generally swims against the current in,
piiirsuit of prey. The intelligence soon spread, and a crowd
flocked to the banks of the river, some prosided with guns.--..
Three or four otters were now visible, darting about the arches
of the bridge. Several shots were spent without success, but at
length a lad on the bridge tired down his piece with effect. The
blood mounted up, and after one or two convulsive tumbles,
one of the otters sailed door the river dead. It was afterwards
taken out, and found to be one of usual dimensions, between two
and three feet long. The others escaped unmolested. Our'
river is at times much infested with otters. The " villainous
vermin," as old lzaak Vt'aiton, with the true spirit of an angler,
styles them, generally seize upon trout and salmon, and hav-
ing taken a few choice bites from the most delicate part of the
fish, they leave it to float in useless and lifeless putrolity.—ln-
veiness Courier.

—" Every discovery, no matter of what nature, in a lesser or.
