DEATH OF THE MARQUIS OF WESTMINSTER.—We regret to announce the death of a noble and zealous Free-Trader, the Marquis of Westminster. At an important crisis in our great struggle, when the League was accused of hostility to property and the landed interest, he, one of the wealthiest and largest proprietors of land in England, came forward to give the calumny a practical refutation by sending, voluntarily and without solicitation, to the League Fund the munificent donation of five hundred pounds. The decased [sic] marquis was lineally descended from a companion and near relative of William the Conqueror; but the family was not ennobled before 1761, when the father of the deceased marquis was created a baron, and subsequently elevated to an earldom in 1784. The marquis was born March 22, 1767, and had therefore nearly completed his 78th year. For many years he had withdrawn himself from political life, but continued to be a distinguished patron of the arts, and a liberal supporter of the charities in the county of Chester. His views of commercial policy were those which PITT endeavoured to carry into effect before the wars of the French. Revolution, and to which most of the party that assumed Mr. PITT's name have shown themselves inveterate opponents. His lordship is succeeded in his titles and estates by his eldest son Richard Earl Grosvenor, who represented the county of Chester in three successive parliaments previous to 1835, since which time he has lived in the retirement of private life.—The League. DEATH OF THE REV. SYDNEY SMITH.—We deeply regret to announce the death of the Rev. Sydney SMITH, who after an illness of some weeks' duration, which ended in an entire prostration of strength, expired at his residence in Green-street, shortly before eleven o'clock on Saturday evening. The medical attendants on the reverend gentleman have had no hope of his ultimate recovery for some days past, and on Saturday morning it became evident that their worst fears would be shortly realized. Mr. SMITH had been in a very weak state during the preceding fortnight, and his debility gradually increasing, he died at the hour above stated. Dr. HOLLAND and Mr. HIBBERTS (sons-in-law of the deceased), were both in attendance on their lamented relative at the time of his death. Mr. SMITH had attained his 74th year. By his death a canonry in St. Paul's Cathedral becomes vacant. Mr. SMITH was partly educated in Edinburgh, where he resided for some time, in company with Lord BROUGHAM, Lord JEFFREY, the late Sir James MACINTOSH, and others. In conjunction with the above eminent men, he commenced the Edinburgh Review, which was under his editorship for a short period, and to which he contributed during the most part of his life. During the early period of his life, Mr. SMITH was not in very affluent circumstances, and for all the advancement he obtained was indebted, in a great measure, to his own industry.—Morning Post. DEATH OF SIR T. F. BUXTON, BART.—It is our painful duty to state that this truly worthy man died at his seat in Norfolk, on the 19th ult. This distinguished philanthropist first became known to his country by his exertions to diminish the sufferings of those at home, whether confined in gaols or struggling in deepest poverty, such as the Spitalfields manufacturers a quarter of a century ago. Entering into parliament, he commenced that great career of enlarged usefulness which will always associate his name with the abolition of slavery in the West Indies, and with the most active endeavours to confirm and improve the measures for the abolition of the slave-trade; and not less with the admirable, though not equally successful, efforts for the benefit of the African race in their own vast continent. The comparative failure of the Niger expedition preyed on his spirits and even on his health. The deceased baronet was the eldest son of Mr. BUXTON, of Earl's Colne, Essex, who married the daughter of Mr. HANBURY, of Coggeshall, in the same county. He was born on the 1st of April, 1786, and received his school education at Greenwich. Dr. BORNEY—not the historian of music—but a gentleman who kept a school at Greenwich, numbered young BUXTON amongst his pupils. From the care of Dr. BURNEY he went to Trinity College, Dublin. On the 13th of May, 1807, being then in the 22nd year of his age, he married Miss GURNEY, fifth daughter of Mr. GURNEY, of Earlham-hall, in the county of Norfolk, by whom he had issue, amongst others a son who now succeeds to the baronetcy, and was born in 1812. DEATH OF THE EARL OF MORNINGTON.—The noble earl, expired at half-past nine o'clock on Saturday night, at his mansion in Grosvenor-square, London. On Thursday and Friday it became too apparent that the noble sufferer was at length sinking fast under his disorder. He remained insensible throughout Saturday, but at nine o'clock, only half-an-hour before death terminated his career, a change took place, and hopes were thus given which ended in disappointment. At half-past nine the noble earl expired, the Countess of Mornington and Lord and Lady Fitzroy SOMERSET being by his side at his dissolution. The Duke of Wellington was at the family mansion during the greater part of the afternoon. William WELLESLEY-POLE, Earl of Mornington, Viscount WELLESLEY of Dengan Castle, and Baron Mornington of Mornington, county Meath, in the peerage of Ireland, and Baron Maryborough of Maryborough, of Queen's county, in the peerage of the United Kingdom, was second son of Garret, first Earl of Mornington by the Honourable Ann HILL TREVOR, eldest daughter of Arthur, first Viscount Dungannon. His lordship, who perhaps was better known as Lord Maryborough, was born 20th May, 1763; consequently he was in his 82nd year. The late noble earl married, 17th May, 1784, Catherie Elizabeth, eldest daughter of the late Admiral the Honourable John FORBES, who so distinguished himself against the combined fleets of France and Spain, second son of George, third Earl of Granard, by whom, who survives the venerable earl, he had a family of one son and three daughters, namely Lady Mary Charlotte Ann, born February 5, 1786, and married to the late Sir Charles BAGOT, who died on the 2nd instant; the Honourable William Viscount WELLESLEY; Lady Harriet, born 13th March, 1792, married to Lord Fitzroy SOMERSET; and Lady Priscilla Anne, born 13th March, 1793, married to the Earl of Westmoreland, our ambassador at the Court of Berlin. The deceased was Custos Rotulorum of Queen's county, constable of Maryborough Castle, and a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Hanoverian Guelphic Order. On the death of the late Lord Carrington, he was appointed by his brother the Duke of Wellington (the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports), captain of Deal Castle, but his lordship resigned that honorary appointment the year before last in favour of the Earl of Dalhousie. In 1821 he was created peer of the United Kingdom by the title of Baron Maryborough, &c., and the death his brother, the Marquess WELLESLEY, in 1843, he succeeded to the ancestral honours of Earl of Mornington, &c.
