The Dea.b or s,r w,II,,n uu,

The death of Sir William Brown, in Liver
pool, is quite g loss to the Yankee Government
He never failed TO use his great influence on be
half of the cause of the Government and people
of the Udited States. During the critical ne.
Rod Of Last year, when it seemed all but certain
that the iron-clAds in the Nersey would be al
lowed to depart, he went to London and had
interviews with members of the British Cabinet.
and the result of his efforts was the opening of
communication with Earl Russell, which led TO
the stoppags Of these formidable instruments
Of war. The New York Times says:
Sir William was an able and successful msr-
chant; for many years q useful member of Par
Lament for Lancashire, and always 4 stAuncb
and Influential friend in England Of the United
States and their Government. He was 4
native of the north Of Ireland, born before
the emigration Of bic father, Alexander Brown,
of Baltimore, to this country. The Junior
brothers were, we believe, ali born on this
side, and of these Mr. james Brown, of New
York, and Mr.. John A. Brown, of Philadelphia,
survive him. His grandson, aud the grandson
also on the mothers side Of Mr.. James Brown,
of this city, succeeds to the title and land estates
of the deceased baroHet. The value of the :

adler in the Confederate army, writes a letter to
the Raleigh COJsdsrats, which thus commences:
I have been informed that an impression is
sought to be made IN certain quarters that an
other candidate will be brought out for the Office
Of governor in North Carolina at q future day,
and my mama has been spoken of among others.
L may be proper, therefore, for me to say thst,
as long as the war continues, while able ts do

for any civil station. Regarding Gov. Ysnce's

supported by al who are in favor Of q vigorous
prosecution Of the war now being wsged, not
only for independence, but for everything of

He further declares that 'our reasons for con-
fiuuing the war are a thousand fold stronger
than they were for embaTking in it originally"
