COLLEY, aged 27 years 8 months and 27 days, leaving a sorrowing husband and three little girls to deplore their lamentable and irreparable loss. The late Mrs. COLLEY's illness was caused by thinking amply and incessantly on the abandonment of the Orange River Sovereignty by the British Government, and the probable ruin which would follow that event: this drove her quite out of her mind, and she had but few lucid intervals during her illness, which continued for a period of six weeks, and ended in her early death. This is the first victim of the late policy; God grant it may be the last. Friends at a distance will please to accept of this Notice.
