Earl of Leicester.— We observe with regret by 

 the late European news, that the Earl of Leicester died 

 recently in England, in the SIst year of his age. This 

 illustrious man was better known in this country by the 

 n.anie of Mr. Coke, of Holkham, a name which ho li.ad 

 ennobled, while he bore it, by the practice of every vir- 

 tue which lend a charm to human actions, and dignify 

 man in the walks of life. It is only since the ascensiim 

 of Queen Victoria to the throne, thai Mr. Coke would 

 receive title, having refused it from the hands of the late 

 William IV., and we believe also from those of George 

 IV. ; but when again presented him by the young Queen, 

 the old man couUI no lonjer resist a boon coining from
