t.lor:eing Herald

We regret to announce the demise of the above venerable
nobleman, who expired last evening at 20 minutes past seven,
at his town residence in Conduit street.
_ .

—The earl has for some-months past been confined to his
bed, indeed ever since his paralytic attack last summer, by
which he completely lost the use of one side. Since then
the noble earl, although he enjoyed an excellent appetite, was
considered, perhaps, one day rather better, and another
worse, hut Dr. Holland, and his other medical attendants,
held out no hopes of his ultimate recovery, from the advanced
age of their noble patient.
On Wednesday the noble earl bad a relapse. and the
Countess of Haddington (his lordship's only child), wiis im-
mediately sent for, and since that day her ladyship has been
a constant attendant on her venerable father.
_

Yesterday the countess stayed with her father the whole of
the day, and about six o'clock returned to the Admiralty to.
dine. At seven o'clock the most alarming symptoms made
their appearance, and a messenger was despatched for the
countess ; but although her ladyship instantly left the Admi-
ralty for Conduit-street, the earl had expired.
The deceased, George Parker, Earl of Macclesfield, county
Chester, Viscount Parker of Ewelme, county Oxford, and
Baron Parker of Macclesfield, in the peerage of Great Britain,
was eldest son of Thomas, third Earl of Macclesfield, by
Mary, eldest daughter of the late Sir William Heathcote,
Bart. Ile was born the 24th of February, 1755, and had con-
sequently attained the great age of 87 years. The deceased,
who succeeded to the title 9th of February, 1795, married
25th May, 1780, Mary Frances, second daughter and co-heir
of the late Rev. Thomas Drake, D.D., and by her ladyship,
who died in 1823, the noble earl had issue, Lady Maria, born
23d January, 1781 (the Countess of Haddingtou), and the
Hon. George, who died when an infant.

mild Aperient it is peculiarly adapted for. males and Chil-

—.;The high Testimonials received in *Cour of Mr. DINNE-
FORD'S Preparation have established its superiority on an
irrefragable basis, and placed it at once beyond the reach of
competition.

Extract of a Certificate from Dr. Wilkinson, of •rhose
familiarity with practical Chemistry so well entitles his
opinion to respect:—
" A Bottle of the Fluid Magnesia of Sir James Murray's,
sent to me for artilysation by a Chemist in this town, gave
me seven grains of Magnesia and three of Sulphate of Soda
to the ounce, whilst yours yielded SEVENTEEN GRAINS OF
PURE MAGNESIA to the ounce. I conscientiously bear tes-
timony to the correctness of the above results.
(Signed) " C. 11. WILKINSON, M.D.

" Dated October 23, 1840,"
This 4onclusive testimony is further corroborated by the
most eminent Members in every branch of the Medical Pro-

fessiou

Dowager, 172, New Bond-street, and sold by every respect-
able Chemist.
CAUTION.—I3e careful to ask for Dinnoford's Pure Fluid
Magnesia, to avoid the substitution of the impure Irish pre-
parations, which are imported in leaden and other deleterious
metallic vessels; their impurity may be readily detected by
the taste, and is even obvious to the sight. To be procured
of every respectable Chemist.

AIAURITIUS

Mauritius papers to the 25th December have arrived. Sir
Lionel Smith, the governor, had opened the secret sittings of
the legislature to the public, who were much gratified at thus
having the opportunity of watching the proceedings, or re-
ceiving the sentiments of the members through the medium
of the press. A strong effort was made to diminish the vice
of drunkenness, and the subject had undergone much discus-
sion in the assembly. The suggestions to suppress this vice
—which had become so extensive as to prevent the possibility
of labour beine effectually done—were various, but the most
salient was one which went to the gradual decrease, under
government regulations, of the spirits allowed to the labourers,
for without government intervention it was said there would
be little chance of effecting any remedy. The high rate of
wages had increased the desire for luxuries among the co-
loured population. Sugars were rather lower; freights, dis-
counts, and exchange, the same as last arrival.

THE CHESTER SCHOOL

Established for the Education of One Hundred Resident
Pupils, preparing them by
SPECIAL INSTRUCTION

FOR THE UNIVERSITY, THE MEDICAL PRO-
FESSION, THE LAW, THE SEA, AND FOR
MERCANTILE PURSUITS.

CONDUCTED •BY MR. JOHN BRINDLEY,
Formerly Head Master of the Oldswinford Hospital Endowed

School for the Maintenance and Education of
One Hundred Boys.

1_ N the CHESTER SCHOOL it is proposed to furnish a
COMPLETE EDUCATION to ONE HUNDRED
BOYS, between Seven and Sixteen years of age; giving
them a sound course of Classical and Mathematical Reading,
in addition to thorough instruction in the French and German
Languages, Navigation, Oratory, Practical Accounts, and the
usual routine of English Instruction ; and to combine with
these advantages, unceasing attention to their moral and
religious improvement, with strict regard to domestic com-
forts. _ _

For fourteen years Mr. Brindley was actively engaged in
Tuition, being successively Master of the March Endowed
School of One Hundred and Eighty Boys, Second Master of
the Brigg Endowed School of Sixty Boys, and Head Master
of the Oldswinford Hospital Endowed School, where he had
the entire superintendance of One Hundred Boys, who were
boarded, lodged, clothed, educated, and entirely provided
for, from seven to twenty-one years of age. From that situ-
ation he retired in 1839, that he might devote his whole

energies to the suppression of the then rapidly advancing
evils of Socialist infidelity, which, under the divine blessing,
is now as a system broken up and exploded.

Mr. BRINDLEY will be assisted by the following Masters:—

RAILWAY MEETINGS LAST WEEK

The business of the Dublin and Drogheda company was
the reception of the half-yearly accouuts and the declaration
of the forfeiture of certain shares upon which calls have been
neglected to be paid. The works, according to the directors'
report, are proceeding satisfactorily, and it appears to be
hoped that they will be completed nearly within the esti-
mates of the engineer—a rare occurrence with such under-
dertakings now-a-days. A prominent fact in corroboration
of this was, that whereas the engineer's estimate for iron
was £l2 per ton, a contract for supply had been made at £7
per ton. The receipts for the half-year were stated at
£39,276, and the expenditure at £33,874 9s. Bd.
The Manchester and Birmingham Company propose a
junction with the Manchester and Leeds, which was the point
of discussion raised at the meeting of last week. The pro-
prietors complain of some apathy shown on the part of the
directors in bringing this business to a successful issue, and
hence a desire was intimated by the board to have a com-
mittee appointed to take into consideration the general sub-
ject, in order that no delay might be occasioned in effecting
so desirable a conclusion. The total required on the works
of the company is estimated at £1,890,000, which sum will
include about £50,000 already expended on that portion of
the Manchester station to be occupied by the Sheffield Com-
pany. As about £1,763,000 is the amount at present ab-
sorbed, £126,000 further capital is required.
The Glasgow, Paisley, and Kilmarnock Railway have de-
clared a dividend of 17s. 6d, per share, besides establishing a
depreciation fund, and carrying over a surplus to the balance
of undivided profits. The directors recommend economy,
and have, as an example, reduced their own allowance, in
consequence of a proportionate decrease in their staff. The
traffic of the line, like that of other railways in the country,
has suffered from the prostration of trade. . . .

The secretary of the Hull and Selby Railway wishes it to
be understood that the resolution adopted at their half-yearly
meeting for the raising of £250,000, to pay off the debts of
the company, and leave a sufficient surplus for the efficient

working of the concern, includes the £183,000 already bor-
rowed, so that the amount now required to be raised is
to be apropriated to the payment of £48,000 now owing for
land and for bank advances. leaving £19,000 available for
providing the accommodation which a constantly increasing
traffic he says requires.
We arc given to understand that the shareholders in the
West London Railway are coming forward pretty generally
t
o take UP the new shares proposed to be issued, which are
to carry a preference dividend of £1 per share, instead of
only 1 per cent.

be deceived, but at the same time we would beg to suggest,
that it is not an invariable rule, and that there are some who,
from motives of principles as well as policy, act systemati-
cally just ; and in doing so, we contend, it is to their in-

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We decline reluctantly to insert the letter of " Veritas,"
but our columns do not afford the fittest medium for
giving publicity to his query.
We have lately received communications from several cor-
respondents on the subject of the desecration of the
Sabbath by the crowds of persons who frequent the post-
office for the purpose of receiving the Sunday newspapers
brought by the London mail, but none of the parties
suggest any remedy for the evil, which we admit to be a
crying one, and which we would do all in our power to
remove.

JiIitNCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, B}fliTr.ifitErt 10.
The weather has been unsettled during the week, which may be pre-
judiOial to the condition of the'still large quantity of unsecured Oats,
Beans, and Barley ; but, as regards Wheat, but little now remains un-
housed in the agricultural districts.

The trade during the week has been steady, and fair sales of each
artidle have been made for consumptipn at the Prices of this day week.
The same description applies to this day's market, and we continue
the quotations of our last.
_

We do not alter the arrangement of our list of prices, until a fuller
supply of new produce comes forward ; in the mean time we may state
that new English red Wheat is worth As 3d to As ; Irish 7s to 7s 6d;
Oats 3s to 3s Id ; Flour 41s to 45 ; Oatmeal 2SB to 29s per load.

spurious composition, and passing it off as Scu WEPPE'S

Punch.

Punch has several very capital jeux d' esprit this month,
both graphic and literary. This publication has completely
taken the lead for wit, jest, and merriment ; and the only
surprising thing is, that it maintains so cleverly its ground.
Its new jokes are many of them capital, while its old Joes
are so decked out and dressed up in so novel a suit, that they
have all the smartness of novelty.

Ainsworth's Magazine. Edited by W. H. Ainsworth.
Cunningham, London ; Webb, Liverpool.
The ability with which " The Miser's Daughter" is con-
tinued, shows the editor's facility of composition and in-
dustry. The illustrations of the story by George Cruikshank,
throw those of Tony Johannot, in the tale of " Windsor'
Castle," this month, completely in the shade. The editor
doles out this latter story too sparingly; such short portions
are hardly worth perusal. Miss Pardoe gives us an inte-
resting account of a visit to the institution of Les Enfans
7Wnive's, in Paris. Mr. Downe's story of " The Wrecker's
Revenge" is a sad recital. The article entitled " Enough is
as ,Good as a Feast," is pleasantly written; as is also the
next paper, " The Solitary Joker," which gives us an ac-
count of a man who was wont to play practical jokes by him-
self, without waiting to see, or caring to learn, the upshot of
his plaisanterie. The Hon. Julia Maynard contributes an
elegant sonnet on " Consumption." Attention is next at-
tracted by an article entitled, " Mozart, his Era, Friends,
and Contemporaries ;" this will be read with much interest,
especially by the musical amateur. The paper by Leman
Blanchard, describing " The man who will read to you," is
very happy; we can sympathise in this case—such a man is
the very quintessence of bores. A description of a " Descent
into Eldon Hole, in the Peak of Derbyshire," is given with
much ability by Mr. W. Francis Ainsworth. " The Walls
of Famagusta" is a narrative having date during the seige of
Cyprus. This number is a very good one. We extract the
following, on
CONSTANCY.
BY THE HONOURABLE MRS. NORTON.
When in Love's bewild'ring hour,
First I saw thy gentle face
Smiling in thy garden bower
With such timid, blushing grace;
•
While the sunset rays declining
Lent thy cheek a softer glow,
With a glorious halo shining
Round thy pure angelic brow
Then, oh then, I sigh'd to be
Master of thy heart and thee !
Since that time, each hour which stealeth
From our happy lives away,
Some new gentle charm revealeth,
And I bless thee day by day !
Yea, thy voice MORE sweetly soundeth
To my fond accustom'd ear,
And my heart more gladly boundeth
When thy footstep draweth near,
Than when first I sigh'd to be
Master of thy fate and thee !
