At his house in Duke Street, St James's, London, on Thursday night, Count Zenobia, in his 56th year. He was descended from the first family in Europe among the Noblesse; being not only a Prince in the Venetian Republic, but also a Prince of the House of Austria. Count Zenobia was also the nephew of Emo, the late Admiral of Venice; he was the owner of two of the finest palaces in the world, Emo and Zenobia. The political bias of the Count is well known. As a man of fashion and gallantry, he took the lead at Versailles, when under the ancient regime; at Baxter's Club he usually risked 5000l. every night. This was about the year 1790.

At Colchester, Lieutenant John Andrews, in the 98th year of his age. He had been in various engagements, amongst which Dettingen, Fontenoy, and Cullodea, were those wherein he had principally distinguished himself, in the former of which he served as orderly man to his present Majesty's grandfather, George II. His latter years were cheered by the munificence of his Sovereign, who, upon the representation of the Duke of York, bestowed upon him a grant of fifty pounds per annum, in addition to his halff-pay.

At his house, Lower Belgrave Place, Pimlico, Mr Robert Palmer, of DruryLane Theatre, after a long and severe illness. He was in his 63d year, and was the father of the company to which he belonged for upwards of 50 years. Mr Palmer, like his brother, the celebrated John Palmer, was introduced to the stage under the patronage and tuition of Garrick. He was an actor of considerable merit.

At Dundee, Thomas Clarke, a labouring man, 66 years of age, who, by dint of parsimony and saving, had accumulated property to the amount of from eight hundred to a thousand pounds. On Thursday before his death, a most bitter and cold day, he went into one of the neighbours' rooms to warm himself, before ascending

to his roost. Next day, he did not make his appearance down stairs; and was found lying almost stiff with cold, and unable to move himself the bed-clothes, which he had been made to provide himself with last year, lying folded up in a corner, as he had not the heart to use them. On Sunday he lost the use of all his faculties; and on Monday he breathed his last. His only surviving sister, a poor old woman, living somewhere in Strathmore, inherits all his property.

At Ayr, Mr James Gregg, at a very advanced age, who, for many years, was well known in Ayrshire, Galloway, and Dumfries-shire, as an eminent teacher in dancing. He was a man of a happy temper, and of considerable originality of genius. He was remarkably skilled in music, performed with great taste and execution on the violin; and, besides " Gregg's pipes" and "Strathspeys," which bear his name, he composed many other excellent pieces, which his modesty prevented him from acknowledging, though he contributed to several musical publications. He had a taste for painting, mechanics, and natural history, made and improved telescopes, and had no inconsiderable knowledge of the mathematics, and was frequently employed as a measurer of land, until his advanced years rendered him incapable of bearing the fatigue. He taught dancing, until, by old age, he could scarcely see his own pupils, or hear the tones of his own violin.

Last week, at his lodgings in Chelsea, James Glenie, Esq. F. R. S. in the 67th year of his age. This gentleman is well known in the literary world. He was born in Aberdeen; and at a very early period was sent as cadet to Woolwich. He rose to the rank of Major of Engineers, and was employed in Canada. On his return to England, he published a treatise respecting the inutility of some fortifications, and incurred the displeasure of the Duke of Richmond, then Major-General of the Ordnance; so much so, that he quitted the service entirely. In 1806, he was made Professor of East India Cadets, which situation he lost immediately after the trial of Col. Wardle. He also was appointed in 1807, by the Earl of Chatham, MasterGeneral of the Ordnance, Inspecting Engineer in some of the West India Islands. This situation, together with that already mentioned, he also lost.
