P. 552. Of Lady Anne Hamilton the Rev. Robert Fellowes writes thus in the Morning Chronicle :-" Her life had been one of many changes and vicissitudes, but it had at the same time been one of uniform integrity and benevolence. In the whole course of a long life I never remember having known such an unselfish character. When she received the Duke of Queensberry's legacy of 10,0007. though she was herself in a state far from affluence, she made over the whole sum to her brother, Lord Archibald. After Queen Caroline's death a person of the name of - insinuated herself into the confidence of Lady Anne Hamilton, and thus got possession of many of her letters and papers; and, under various fraudulent pretences, involved her in many and great pecuniary embarrassments. This woman once had the impudence to publish, or get published, a work under the following title: cret History of the Court of England from the Accession of George III. to the Death of George IV. by the Right Hon. Lady Anne Hamilton.' Perhaps there never was an instance of more daring effrontery

Se

in the history of book-making than this title-page exhibited for Lady Anne never wrote a page of the book, nor in any way whatever sanctioned the publication. But S. W. as Lady Anne often speaks of her in her letters to me and others, had woven such a well-contrived webb of chicanery and artifice around her victim as to make her responsible for the slanders of the work and the expenses of the publication; and her subsequent demands for compensation for pretended losses incurred, and fictitious wrongs suffered, were at one time so many and so harassing to Lady Anne's personal comfort, as to cause her to make a temporary residence in France. But poor Lady Anne was one of those to whom misfortune cannot teach caution and whom experience cannot make wise. She was perpetually victimized by her extraordinary credulity on the one side, and her ardent, but inconsiderate benevolence on

the other."

P. 556. The late John Knowlys, esq. of Mincing-lane, and of Wood's Farm Lodge, near Crawley, has left personal property amounting to 180,000l. By his will he devises his estate of Wood's Farm Lodge, and all other his real estate, to trustees, to sell the same, and to convert the whole of his property into money, as personal estate. His will was made in 1841, and there are three codicils, the last dated in March, 1846. Leaves to his sister Charlotte, and her husband, Colonel John Newman, 2001. a year for their respective lives; to his niece, Mary Jefferys, 2007. a year; to his nephew, Nathaniel Newman Jefferys, 50007.; to his cousin, Mrs. Jordon, 1001. a year; an annuity of 607. to Mr. W. Handsome, for many years clerk to his late brother, Newman Knowlys, formerly recorder for the city of London; to some of his servants annuities, and to others a legacy of 1007. each: the residue to his nephews and nieces, Newman Knowlys Mayo, Herbert Mayo, the Rev. Richard Mayo, Elizabeth Mayo, Thomas John Knowlys, Mrs. Mary Nightingale, and the widow of his late nephew, the Rev. Charles Mayo, D.C.L. and to her children at her decease. The executors are his nephews, N. K. Mayo, H. Mayo, and T. J. Knowlys.

The late Mr. J. Ashton, of Newton Bank, near Hyde in Cheshire, a cotton manufacturer of Manchester, has bequeathed to the Manchester Royal Infirmary a legacy of 5,0007.; and, after large bequests to his family and others, leaves the residue of his personal estate to the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, for the reduction of the national debt. A legacy of 20,0007. left to Mr. W. Wright, his confidential clerk, and whom he had

constituted an executor, has lapsed by his death only a short time previous to the testator; but it is hoped that this intended bequest, as a "reward for faithful services," will be awarded to the widow and children of Mr. Wright, as the sum coming to the Government is very considerable, and has much increased since the will was made in 1836. The testator has directed that all money out on mortgage shall also fall into the personal estate. There is a legacy of 1000l. to the son of Mr. Wright, who is a clerk in the concern, and legacies to the other clerks and to the servants connected both with the business and his private establishment; to Frederick Slowe he leaves 1000l. as a token of regard for his faithful services; to Mr. John Barker 5,000l. He leaves in trust for his daughter 25,000l. and also an annuity until she is of age; to his brother, Mr. Joseph Ashton, 5007. a year; to his brother, Mr. Samuel Ashton, and his sisters, Miss Jane Ashton and Mrs. Mary Tucker, 25,000l. each. There are legacies to many of his relations on the maternal side. He devises and bequeaths to his brother, Mr. Robert Ashton, all his factories, estates, and machinery absolutely. Besides the property in Chester and Manchester, for which a separate grant of probate has issued, there has been 80,000l. administered to in London by the surviving executor, Mr. Robert Ashton. The residue of the personal estate is expected to realize to the Government 150,0001.

The late John Owens, esq. of Manchester, has left the bulk of his large property so as to confer an important benefit upon the community of that town, and perhaps ultimately upon that of South Lancashire. By his will, after numerous liberal bequests to his own relatives and connections, and to the local charities, he has given the residue of his personal estate to trustees, to be applied for the purpose of affording to youths of the age of fourteen years and upwards, instruction in the branches of education taught at the English universities, free from religious tests. The property, it is conjectured, may yield little less than 100,000l. To this sum it is expected another 100,0007. will be added by public contribution, and thus in a few years Manchester may possess a university which, while not inferior to any existing establishment in its means of general education, will at once take, as regards practical science, an unrivalled position.

By the will of the late Miss Preston, of Nottingham-place, Paddington, the sum of 1,000l. is to be paid towards the erection of the St. Mary's Marylebone and Paddington Hospital.
