IV. p. 210.-In the memoir of the late Jomes Norris, Esq. of Nonsuch House, no allusion was made to a correspondence, of a very interesting nature between him and the late Dr. Withering, of Birmingham, in the years 1797-8, respecting that extraordinary structure Stonehenge; which is published in the 1st volume of the "Miscellaneous Tracts of the late William Withering, M.D. F.R.S. to which is prefixed a Memoir of his Life, Character, and Writings," by his son, the late William Withering, esq. 2 vols. 8vo. 1822. The Correspondence occupies about forty pages, and several circumstances are recorded, and local information is given not easily obtained elsewhere, though the conjectures of the writers are, like many preceding ones on the same subject, more to be admired for their ingenuity than their conclusiveness. Yet, for those who take an interest in Stonehenge, the correspondence in question is too important to be overlooked, although it is not even alluded to in a compilation published at Salisbury, containing, under the name of "Conjectures on that Mysterious Monument of Ancient Art, STONEHENGE," extracts from Jeffry of Monmouth, and various other writers, down to Dr. Maton, and Sir R. C. Hoare. It is, therefore, probably, less known than it deserves to be. VOL. V. p. 87.-A monument to the late Duke of Beaufort is placed in the private chapel of the family, at Badminton, by his present Grace. It comprises a plain centre tablet placed between two very elegant pilasters of unusually pure statuary marble, and resting on a broad and The noble plinth of vein stone. The pilasters In P. 439.-On the death of the Rev. Isaac Saunders, while preaching in the parish The church of Blackfriars, on the 1st of Jan. 1836, his parishioners and friends raised a subscription, of between 3007. and 4007., for the erection of a monument to his memory, which has been sculptured by Samuel Manning, esq. of Newman-street, successor to the celebrated Bacon, and erected in the church, by the side of the memorial of the late Mr. Romaine. It is surmounted by an excellent bust, and in a bas-relief, the beloved Pastor is supposed to be suddenly translated by angels, and about to receive an immortal crown, which appears on the glory above. open Bible, resting on the cushion, and grouped with other Christian emblems, displays the last significant text uttered by the lips of the deceased Pastor,-" Ye are complete in Him." Coloss. ii. ch. 10. v. The inscription runs as follows :-"Isaac Saunders, M.A. Died January the 1st, 1836, aged 54 years. He was ordained Curate of this Church, A.D. 1804; was elected Sunday Afternoon Lecturer, 1806; and Rector 1816. In all which offices, receiving mercy of the Lord to be faithful; as a Preacher he shunned not to declare all the counsel of God; as a Pastor, he watched for souls as one that must give account; as a Christian, he showed himself a pattern of good works; till, after having made full proof of his ministry, during a space of thirty years, and while in the act of preaching in this Church, the words of his text inscribed above being still on his lips, his spirit was translated from these earthly courts to worship with the saints in light, and dwell for ever with the Lord. His mortal remains, interred in the chancel vault, await the day of their redemption, when they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. This monument is raised by the inbabitants of these united parishes, and many mourning friends, to the glory and the praise of God." P. 657.—A superb monument to the memory of Bishop Sparke has been erected in Bishop West's chapel, in Ely cathedral. It is an imitation of that of Edward the Black Prince in Canterbury cathedral, and the canopy of Bishop Mitford's, in Salisbury cathedral; it is of excellent workmanship, built by Hopper, of London. Vol. VII. p. 99.-A monument to the memory of the late gallant Lord de Saumarez has been erected in the town church of Guernsey.

X. is a bas-relief, representing the "Reunion and Crescent off Cherbourg." P. 101. After a lengthened litigation, Sir Herbert Jenner pronounced judgment on the will of Mr. Charles Day, in the Prerogative Court, on the 29th June 1838. The deceased was the well-known blacking manufacturer of High Holborn. He died on the 26th Oct. 1836, at the age of 52 or 53 years, possessed of property to the amount of between 350,0007. and 370,000. of which about 140,0007. was real and the remainder personal. The testator left behind him a widow and a daughter (who was married some time since to Mr. Horatio Claggett), a sister, several other relatives, and three illegitimate children. The will, which was dated May 1st, 1834, and a codicil, bearing the same date, was propounded by the executors, Mr. William Croft (of the Ordnance-office), Mr. Pinder Simpson (an old friend and adviser of the testator), and Mr. Underwood. These two papers amply provided for his wife and daughter, and 100,000l. were bequeathed to his executors, in trust, to found a blind asylum (the deceased having been blind for about 20 years before his death). Legacies of 5007. were given to each of the executors, &c. These papers were not opposed. The executors took the opinion of the court upon the other papers propounded as codicils to the will of the deceased, one of which, dated the 24th Sept. (after the testator had had an attack of epilepsy), increasing the legacies to certain branches of his family; the second instrument was dated on the following day, drawn up also by Mr. Pinder Simpson (the son of the executor), for the same purpose. The third codicil was dated the 10th September, and was in favour of the three natural children of the testator (whose existence up to that day had been kept a profound secret), giving them 50007. each, in addition to post-obit bonds the deceased had executed in the favour of each in 1832. The last codicil was propounded by Mr. F. Defaur, and was dated on the 22nd assisted the deceased in the management Sept. by which that gentleman (who had of rents, &c.), was named as executor, of his money matters, in the collection with a legacy of 5001. This last codicil the deceased to Mr. Defaur by Mr. Hew was written from instructions given by son, one of the medical attendants of the testator, and executed in the presence of Mrs. Day, Mrs. Claggett, and two other parties. The executors named in the will did not, in fact, oppose any of the four codicils, except the last. The deceased, though blind, and deprived of the use of both legs, possessed an extraordi 4 R nary memory, and kept his accounts most accurately, in which he was assisted by his daughter. His health appeared to have been extremely good during the greater part of his life-until the attack of epilepsy on the 26th Aug. 1836, which affected the brain. The effect of this attack was not at first perceptible. The court did not wish to throw the slightest imputation upon Mr. Defaur, but, under all the circumstances, pronounced against the last paper, and directed probate to pass to the will, and four first codicils, as containing the intentions of the testator. P. 218.-John Gamaliel Lloyd, Esq. was born 8th March, 1769, and consequently was only 67 at the time of his decease. He was the second son of John Lloyd, esq. F.R.S. of Snitterfield, co. Warwick, by Anne, only child and heiress of James Hibbins, esq. M.D. and grandson of George Lloyd, esq. F.R.S. of Hulme Hall, near Manchester, co. Lanc. by Eleanor, dau. of Henry Wright, esq. of Offerton and Mobberley, co. Chester, and Purefoy, dau. of Sir Willoughby As. ton, Bart. He was educated at the university of Glasgow, called to the Bar in 1794 by the Society of the Middle Temple, of which Society he lately became a bencher, and for some years went the Northern and afterwards the Midland Circuit. He for several years held courts at Macclesfield, as deputy to the late Earl of Derby, as Steward of the Liberty of the Hundred; was in the commission of the peace for the county of Warwick in 1823, and subsequently; and filled the office of High Sheriff for the county of Warwick in 1832. By devise of a relation of his mother, the Rev. Francis Stanley, who died 18 April 1827 (see Gent. Mag. vol. xcvi. part i. p. 474), he came into possession of estates in Hertfordshire and Essex; and on the death of his elder brother George Lloyd, esq. of Welcombe House, 11 July 1831, he took by devise for life considerable estates in Warwickshire and Lancashire. He died, at lodgings in London, a bachelor, leaving two sisters surviving, the younger unmarried; the other is the wife of the Rev. T. Warde, of Leamington Priors, and has issue only Charles T. Warde, esq. the present owner of Welcombe House. He is buried, as one of the Masters of the Bench, in the Temple Church. P. 324.-The will of Sir John Soane was opposed by his son, Mr. George Soane; but this opposition being withdrawn, the Prerogative Court pronounced for the will, on the 28th Nov. 1837. It has since been proved, and the personal property sworn under 140,000l. The ex ecutors, Sir Francis Chantrey, Sir John Stevenson, and Mr. Higham, have, by power of attorney, renounced in favour of Mr. Bicknell, named in codicil as one of the executors. The will was proved by Mrs. Sally Conduitt, to whom testator bequeathed 50007. with request that she may be buried in the same vault with him. P. 545.-The Maltese monument to the memory of the late Major-General Sir Frederick Ponsonby, is being erected in the works of Valletta, on St. Andrew's bastion, at the end of Strada Britannica. It consists of a pedestal and column of the Roman Doric order, its proportions being regulated upon that of Trajan, which still exists in all its beauty at Rome. It will be 71 feet high, or about two-thirds of the height of that masterpiece of architecture, and it is built of hard Malta stone of the first quality, of a pleasing whitish colour, which takes a polish like marble. It may be interesting to remark that upon the first commencement of the work, while digging for its foundation, a strong and massive wall, which from its construction and the great size of its stones appears to have been an old bastion, of which no knowledge can be traced, was found a few feet under the surface. Being well situated, and regularly built up from the solid rock, forty-five feet below, this wall was available for the basis of the column, with an incalculable saving of expense and time. P. 549.-A handsome marble tablet has been erected in St. Edmund's church, Salisbury, the production of Mr. Osmond, of that city, bearing the following inscription : "To the Memory of the Rev. Herbert Hawes, D.D. thirty-four years Rector of this Church, who during so long a period ably and zealously fulfilled his arduous duties; and under whose judicious superintendence the public business of the parish was conducted with peculiar and laudable unanimity; his parishioners, honouring his merits, and grateful for his services, have dedicated this tablet. He died 17th Jan. 1837, in the 73d year of his age." VOL.

Patience, the younger daughter and coheiress of Lord Collingwood, was married June 16, 1807, to Anthony Denny, esq. P. 109.-The will of Mr. Samuel Thompson (who was for many years the leading partner in the well-known wine and spirit establishment on Holborn hill, under the title of " Thompson and Fea. ron,") has been proved in Doctors' Commons by Mary Thompson, his widow, and Seymour Teulon, David Liston, and George Henderson, the executors. The amount of personal property in the province of Canterbury is sworn under 60,0007., independent of a large estate in America, which is said to be worth 40,000. The testator has left the whole of his fortune to his widow and family. P. 214.-The late Rev. W. Richardson, fifty-three years Vicar of St. John's, Chester, has left 2,0007, to the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge; 2,000l. to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts; and 2,0007. to the Incorporated Society for promoting the enlargement, building, and repairing of churches and chapels.

P. 319. The late Earl of Eldon's will was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury on the 16th Feb. by the three executors-the present Earl, Mr. Cross (the Master in Chancery), and Mr. Alfred Bell. It is of great length, filling 74 sheets, closely written. There are likewise seven codicils, neither (except one, which is holograph) very short. The will is dated the 24th of June, 1836; the codicils bear date in 1837; the last is dated December 21, 1837, less than a month before the Earl died. The bulk of the will is occupied with very careful devises of the real property in the counties of Dorset and Durham, trusts, limitations, recoveries, &c. The principal devisee is Lord Encombe (the present Earl), the testator's grandson, for life; then to his son; in default of children the property is left, under various conditions and limitations, to the daughters of the and Lady Elizabeth Repton, and their late Earl, Lady Frances Jane Bankes, families. The family of the latter takes a less extensive benefit than that of the former, the reason of which the testator declares is, that Lady Frances Bankes has a large family, and may expect to have has but one son, and is not likely to have more children, whereas Lady E. Repton more issue. The trustees of the property are Master Cross and Mr. Alfred Bell. There are various small legacies; and amongst others, the late Earl's coach horses are bequeathed to Lady Frances Bankes, with the direction that they are to have a free run of the grass at Encombe. The Earl also bequeaths his "favourite dog Pincher" to the same lady, with a clear annual allowance of 81. to buy him food. At the end of the will is a schedule of various articles, to be considered as heirlooms. "A small wooden box, made out of a piece of wood taken out of the room in which I was born. All my law and other books. All my robes as Lord Chancellor, and all other my judicial robes, and all articles of lace worn with them, and all my robes as a peer.
