DEATH OF THE DUKE OF SUSSEX. -The
death Of the Duke of Sussex, who expr-
ed al his apartments at Kensing,on, on
Friday, the 2lst inst. about half past IL
in the day, has excited more than ordna.
ry attention. Fer some DAYS previous
not the slightest hope was entertained Of
his recovery, aud the fatal termination OF
his illness, though it excited little surprise,
has been productive of an almost univer.
sal feeling Of regret at his loss. The
journals most opposed to the lib raj poll
tics Of the Duke express the highest re,
spect for bis amiable and independent
character, and becoming estimation of
his scholarship and attainments.
