It recites, that "As well for the prevention thereof, as to facilitate the direction of the same, the Governor and Company of England have, after great consideration, labour, and expense, formed a new plan for printing Bank notes, in which the ground work of each Bank note will be black or coloured, or black and coloured line work; and the words "Bank of England," will be placed at the top of each Bank note, in white letters upon a black sable or dark ground, such ground containing white lines intersecting each other,

and the numerical amount or sum of each Bank note in the body of the note will be printed in black and red register work, and the back of each note will distinctly shew the whole contents thereof in a reversed impression."-The exclusive privilege of using this plan of printing notes is given to the Bank of England; and the Governor and Company are further authorised to cause the names of the persons intrusted by the Company to sign Bank notes in

Sir Thomas Gresham, who built the Royal Exchange, was the son of a poor woman, who left him in a field when all infant; but the chirping of a grasshopper leading a boy to the place where he lay, his life was preserved,-From this circumstance the future merchant took the grasshopper as his crest; and hence the cause of that insect being placed over the Royal Exchange.

July 20. Woman's Will-A Riddle! This is a Musical Drama in three Acts; the story taken from Chaucer; being founded on the adventures of a certain knight, condemned to die for some crime; but saved, on the hard condition of discovering within a given period, that which is "women's constant will." This secret is revealed to him by an old beldame, who, however, claims his hand as her reward; which the luckless knight, bound by his honour, is about to bestow; when she is suddenly transformed into a young and beautiful woman, the identical object of his affections. The solution of the riddle proves to be, that it is," to have her will." By the aid of good music, singing, and acting, it has had a favourable reception.

EARL OF Roden.

June 29. At his seat, Hyde-hall, Herts, in his 64th year, the Right Hon. Robert Jocelyn, Earl of Roden, Viscount Jocelyn, Baron Newport, a Baronet, Knight of St. Patrick, a Privy Counsellor in Ireland, Custos Rotulorum of the county of Louth, Joint Auditor-General of the Exchequer. The Earl was born Oct. 26, 1756; married first, Feb. 5, 1782, Frances Theodosia, eldest daughter of Robert Bligh, Dean of Elphin, brother of John first Earl of Darnley, by whom he had issue, 1st. Robert, Visc. Jocelyn, Knight of the Shire for Louth; 2. James Bligh, Lieut. R. N. deceased; 3. Thomas, Capt. 23d Foot, deceased 4. George; 5. Frances Theodosia, married Feb. 7, 1813, Richard Wingfield, fifth Viscount Powerscourt; 6. Anne." The Earl married secondly, Juliana Anne, daughter of John Orde, Esq. of Westwood, co. Northumberland, by whom he has also left issue. The Earl

is succeeded in his titles and estates by his eldest son Robert, now Earl of Roden, a Privy Counsellor in England, Joint Auditor-General of the Exchequer in Ireland, Vice-Chamberlain to the King, &c. married Jan. 9, 1813, Maria Frances, second daughter of Thomas Stapleton, Lord Le Despenser, and has issue. The first Peerage conferred on the ancient family of Jocelyn, of Hydehall, Herts, whose male ancestry is beyond the Norman Conquest, was the Barony of Newport, granted in 1743, to Robert Jocelyn, Lord Chancellor of Ireland, further created in 1755 to the dig. nity of Viscount Jocelyn. He was father of the first Earl of Roden. The Chancellor was grandson of Sir Robert Jocelyn of Hyde-ball, co. Herts, created a Baronet in 1665, which English Baronetage and ancient estate devolved to the Earl of Roden on the extinction of the elder branch.

EARL OF STRATHMORE AND KINGHORN.

July 3. In Conduit-street, in his 52d year, the Right Hon. John Bowes, 10th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorn, in Scotland. He was born April 12, 1768; succeeded his father John, the late Earl, in 1776; and he afterwards re-assumed the name of Lyon.

The origin of this noble family is said to be the same as that of Lyon, in France, which derives itself from the noble house of Leoni at Rome, a branch

whereof came from France into England with William the Conqueror in 1066, and from thence, in 1098, into Scotland, with King Edgar, the fourth son of Malcolm III. From that period the family has flourished in the annals of Scotland.

July 18, 1815, the Earl of Strathmore was created Baron Bowes, of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

His Lordship was married only the day before his death to Miss Mary Milner. He has left a son by this lady, who claims the Earldom of Strathmore. The title of Baron Bowes is extinct. His Lordship's estates were not entailed, and he made a full settlement of his property. A curious question will arise as to the legitimacy of the son; as it must depend whether a marriage in England, subsequent to the birth of a child, would legitimatize that child in Scotland.

VISCOUNT RANELAGH.

July 4. At his seat at Fulham, Middlesex, the Right Hon. Thomas Jones, Viscount Ranelagh, in the county of Wicklow, and Baron of Navan, in the county of Meath; late a lieutenantcolonel, and major in the 66th regiment of infantry. He was born Feb. 2, 1763; succeeded his brother Charles, Dec. 24, 1800; married Aug. 21, 1804, the only daughter of the late Sir Philip Stephens, of St. Faith, in Norfolk, bart, and Secretary of the Admiralty. She died without issue June 17, 1805. His lordship married, secondly, Sept. 15, 1811, Caroline, sole daughter of the late Col. Lee, co. York; by whom he had issue a son, born Jan. 1818 (wh, died a week before his father, see p. 92), and a daughter, born Nov. 14, 1819. The ancestor of Lord Ranelagh was Sir Roger Jones, knt. and alderman of London, whose son, Dr. Thomas Jones, was Abp. of Dublin, also Lord Chancellor, and Lord Justice of Ireland, and died 1619. His son Roger was the first Viscount Ranelagh, so created 1628.
