Death of a Duke.

--The English papers publish the recent death of the Duke of Hamilton in Paris. In company with some frail companions of both sexes, he dined at the Maison Dorce, and got drunk. In coming out, he fell from the top to the bottom of the steps, and never spoke again. His death has thrown some of the insurance offices into distress — mainly Scotch establishments. His life was insured for £100,000 a few days before he left Scotland for France.
