establishment of the Garden. This hope he declares is still warmly cherished, and receives ample support from the wellknown and often-experienced love of science which makes a part of the character of our beloved King; but in case of its being deemed inexpedieut by his Majesty's advisers to make this small addition to the establishment, he charges the annuity of 300l. to Mr. Bauer, on his Lincolnshire estates. He requests his relation, Sir Edward Knatchbull, bart. to examine his papers and things at his house in Soho-square, and destroy those he may think proper. The papers respecting the Royal Society to be sent to the Royal Society; those respecting the Mint or coinage, to the Mint; his foreign correspondence to be sent to the British Museum. The personal property of Sir Joseph Banks was sworn under 40,000%. P. 276. The will of the late Sir Home Popham was proved in the Prerogative Court, in Doctors' Commons, Sept. 23. It is dated on the 18th of July 1809, when he was Captain of the Venerable, and "about to proceed on a particular service," of which he states himself to have formed the plan and arrangements. The whole property, real and personal, is left to Lady Popham for life, and at her death, to their children equally. The executors, who were also trustees for this purpofe, having renounced their right, the grant of administration with the will annexed, was consequently made to her Ladyship. The personal property is sworn under 18,0001.

Bank-Buildings, London. J. NICHOLS AND SON, 25, PARLIAMENT STREET, WESTMINSTER. MINOR CORRESPONDENCE. Sir HARCOURT LEES has our thanks; but his spirited Communication is now too late. W.'s Drawings are safe; and shall be used soon. Mr. DUFF'S Essay is learned and ingenious; but unluckily for his hypothesis, his East Indian Coin was issued, not in 1441, but in 1741. It is engraved by Snelling, who calls it a Tutonague Piece. W. S. and R. U. who have written in pp. 386. 537. of Part I. concerning the Selby Estate, request the address of J. A. who sent the communication on the same subject, p. 538. ECCLESIAE AMICUS laments the want of an appropriate and durable memorial, to point out, as heretofore, the sacred spot, at Balliol College, Oxford, where Cranmer, Ridley, and Latimer, ascended from the flames, to join "the noble army of Martyrs." Mr. WINTER says, "In contradiction to, I believe, a generally-received opinion, that there is not, nor ever was, a wholelength portrait of Vandyck, I beg leave to state, that I have one now in my possession, painted upon copper, cabinet size. It is executed by himself, and seems to have been done upon the occasion of his attaining his one and twentieth year. His name is upon the picture, and the date 1620; and as he was born in the year 1599, leaves 21 the difference; which, I presume to be his age, particularly as the figures 21 are placed under the right arm in the picture. He is represented as having laid down his hat and gown or cloak upon a table, and is in the act of undress ing his sword. His attitude is elegant; the hair very full on each side, falling almost to his shoulders." CASSANNE inquires, "whether the extinct dignity of Earl of Dublin, enjoyed by the late Duke of Kent, as a Peer of Ireland, is to be considered as making one vacancy towards the three extinctions necessary, previous to a new creation of an, Irish Peerage, or whether Royal Peerages were excepted?" He then remarks, "The following part of the Act of Union relating to Peerages of Ireland, appears liable to difficulties, viz. the part where provision is made for keeping up the number of Peers to 100. It is stipulated that as often as one of these 100 Peerages should become extinct, or as often as any of the 100 Peers should, by creation or descent, become entitled to an English Peerage, power should then be in the Throne to create a new Peer. But is there not here an obvious difficulty? Supposing one of the 100 Irish Peers to be created an Eng lish Peer, a new Irish Peer would then be created; and supposing the former to die without male issue, the English Peerage would be extinct, and the Irish Peerage before enjoyed, would go to the collateral line, and consequently there would then be 101 Peers of Ireland (enjoying Irish Peerages only), instead of 100, as limited by the Act of Union. The intention of the Act clearly was, that there should be 100 Peers kept up, over and above the number who enjoy hereditary seats as Peers of the united kingdom, and consequently not eligible as representatives." M. Y. remarks, "In Mr. Nichols's excellent work, the Illustrations of Literary History, vol. III. there is a Letter of Judge Hardinge, in which mention is made of an attack on Soame Jenyns by Bp. Watson, which was published anonymously,-can you tell me the title and date of the Pamphlet or even what work of Jenyns's it was directed against? I have read much about the poetical attempts of George Steevens, but I have never seen any of his poetical effusions, except his Lines on Eleanor Rumorin, which are very clever. I wish some intelligent person would favour the Public by collecting them." P. observes, "In p. 302, the Yorkshire Tourist mentions, that in Ackworth Church is a tablet to the memory of Frances, wife of Dr. Bradley, and daughter of John Saville, Earl of Pomfret.' The tablet itself calls her the daughter of 'John Lord Savile, Baron of Pontefract,' which is correct.-The tomb of the Lowthers, mentioned by him, was erected to the memory of several of that family, who were possessors of Ackworth Park." -P. is desirous of being informed, what authority can be referred to, whereby the circumstance of Castle-Syke-Hill (near Ackworth), having been the site of a Castle belonging to the Dukes of Lancaster, may be ascertained." A. C. R. would be greatly obliged by some account of the Rev. Capel Berrow, Rector of Rossington, Nottinghamshire, who was also Lecturer of St. Bennet and St. Peter's, Paul's Wharf, London, and Chaplain to the Hon. Society of Judges and Serjeants in Serjeants' Inu. His death is mentioned in vol. LII. p. 503-Oct. 5, 1782, but his age is not stated, which is one point the writer of this is desirous of ascertaining; and the place of his birth is another. He published two Sermons in 1746, one of them preached at St. Bennet's, Paul's Wharf. In 1766, he published in 8vo, a work, entitled "A Lapse of Human Souls," &c. and in 1772, "Theological Dissertations," including the Lapse of Human Souls, 1 vol. 4to, by subscription." Erratum.-P. 307. The last line of col. 1, should have come in between the 15th and 16th line from the bottom. |
