    Sept . 21 , at E > uffield 9 in the county of Derby , aged 34 , Elizabeth , wife of the Rev . E . O . Jones , of that place . About two months before her demise , she had given birth to a daughter ; from

    that time her strength and health gradually declined . A constitution naturally delicate could not , under such circumstances , long support the vital principle ; and , without pain or much suffering , quitted the present scene .

    With the most amiable disposition of mind and heart , Mrs . Jones united affability of manners and kindness to all . As a friend and companion , she was sociable , sincere , affectionate and attached . As a mother , she was rivetted to her numerous family of little ones , by the warmest ties of tenderness and maternal

    solicitude . As a wife , she evinced the kindest love and duty . Her time , while health and life remained to her , was entirely devoted to the good and interest of her family ; and within that circle she exhibited the greatest industry and

    desire for their comfort and happiness . She has left behind her , to console the partner of her Joys and sorrows , six innocent and beautiful little beings , as pledges of that happy connexion , which is soon to be renewed in a happier and more durable state .

    During life she felt the influence of religiou seated and rooted in the hearty which she exhibited unaccompanied by external pomp and affectation ; and In the hour Of her departure she was supported and cheered by the prospects which it exhibits . As the tenor of her life was calm and unruffled , so was her end peaceful and easy ; for her gentle

    spirit quitted its earthly tabernacle without a groan or a struggle , and now rests on the bosom of its (* od . A few Sundays after her decease , a most excellent and consoling discourse was preached on the mournful occasion , at Duffield , by the Rev . D- P . Davies , of Makeney , to a small , but deeply affected congregation .

    24 , in Arundel Street , Strand , IjOuis Henri Scipio dr Grimoard de Beavjvoir , Count du Roure and Marquis de Grisac , lineally descended from one of the most ancient noble families of

    France , and no less related to the Irish Peerage in right of his mother , the deceased Countess of Catherlough ; through

    which line he claimed as his great uncle the celebrated Lord Bolingbroke . This nobleman , however , was not alone indebted to consideration from elevated birth , but had a much stronger claim to public consideration , as a man most preeminently gifted with capaciousness and energy of mind , improved by unremitting

    studj ^ . At the commencement of the French Revolution , Count du Roure associated himself with the Republican party : not that class of demagogues who merely assumed the title to gloss over their ambitious views , or as a means of gratifying their thirst of gam , but those who acted from conviction , and supported their

    tenets With uiideviating fortitude under the very hatchet of the gulliotiue . Throughout the consulate of Buonaparte , the Count remained stedfast to his political creed , and when that dignity was changed to the Imperial title , ho overtures whatsoever eould shake the honest Integrity of his mind , though the Prefecture of a

    Department and the dignity of a Senator would Jiave been tjie recompence of an abandonment of principle . Although the Count ' s name h $ s not appeared to any literary production of cobsequence , lie has not the less contributedt to enhance the value of the labours qf others ; and during the period of the Revolution , a

    multiplicity Of anonymous writings , as well as the harangues delivered by many public characters , were the production of his pen . As a grammarian , no Frenchman was ever moi * e thoroughly versed in the niceties of his language , and few natives of our own couatry could boast of possessing a more intimate acquaintance

    with our literature and language , of which he gave an unequivocal proof in his " Nouveau Maitre p * Anglais , " published at Paris , in 1816 . The writer , who has been intimately acquainted with the deceased for many years , cannot terminate this just tribute to the memory

    and extraordinary acquirements of his departed friend ,,,: without staling , { hat , when considered in the light of a universal philanthropist , he was never surpassed , his constant exclamation being directed against warfare , and the effusion of human blood . He was frank and

    sincere in an eminent degree , and scrupulously tenacious of his word on all occa * sions . —Morning Chronicle .
