The Taranaki left the Manukau at 5 p.m. on the 14th, and arrived at Taranaki at 8 a.m. on the 15th ; left again at 5 p.m., and arrived here at 3 p.m. yesterday. The death of the Earl of Cardigan has added another instance to the almost proverbial rule that men of adventurous lives pass through many great dangers to perish by some small accident at last. His lordship died atjiis country seat, DeenePark, Northamptonshire, of injuries received on "the back of his head, through a fall from his horse. Two children saw the animal rearing and plunging violently ; and Lord Cardigan, though a skilful and courageous horseman, lost his seat, and fell with much force to the ground. A laboring man assisted' him to rise, and supported him about half a mile along the road, till they mßt a carriage, into which the unfortunate nobleman was lifted. Lord Chichester was with the noble Earl at the time of his death, which took place at an interval of two days from the lamentable occurrence. The Hobart Town Mercury states, on the authority of private information, that the recall of Colouel Gore Brown, the Governor of Tasmania, has been decided on; and that it is anticipated that the name of his successor will be made known by an early mail. There is a good story told of Albert Smith. He once desired to get a seat in a crowded theatre. He wagered he would accomplish a task admitted to be difficult. He succeededin the following manner: — Going up between the acts to the most crowded bench in the pit, he cried out, drawing a long face, 'Mr Smith ! Mr Smith!' 'Here,' cried a voice. 'Your house •is a fire — run. I'll keep your seat tillyou come back.' . Away went Mr Smith, but be did not come back, but stayed at Camberwell where he lived. There is a large accession to the Smith family.
