HP was the second son of Sir Harry limes of lanes, lint, and of Anne, second daughter of Sir James Urantof. Grant, Bart. His great 'grandfather, Sir James Dines of tones, married, in 1666, Margaret Ker, third daughter of Hary Lord Ker, son of itobert, first Earl of,Roxburghe, and, as the lineal male descendant of this marriage, his Grace was, after a long and expensive litigation, adjudged by the House of Peers to be the undoubted heist* the honours and estates of Roxburgh... His Grace succeeded, in these ho. noon and estates, William, fourth Duke, who died in 1805, and who was the last of the male ;instal' William, second . Earl of Roxburelie. .•. . . - The fimily.of lanes of that ilk is Of grist antiquity, and it possessed large and valuable estates in the district of 1110 ray for many generations. The firs of the family we find on record is. Berowaldus Flandreneis, who was a man of considerable rank and distinction, and made a great figure in the reigo of Malcolm IV. about .lbe years 1154 or 1156. The late Duke was the two and twentieth generation from Berowaldus, in a direct wile line; and it was remarked by Duncan Forbes of Culloden, in his iiiitory of the house of hoes, that in all the long course , of their succession, they were fortunate in three things ;." Fint, that their inheri tance nem went to a woman ; next, that none of them ever married an ill wife; 3d ly, that no friend ever suffered for their debt." His Grace's father was a staunch friend to Govern ment daring the rebellion in 1745, and wan of great service in aiding the exertions mane at that time among the disaffected clans of the north, by his illustrious and 111 requited kinsman, Duncan Forbes, in favour of the House of Brunswick. Whilst the rebel forces were in the neighbourhood of tones Hesse, the Duke. then scarcely ten years of age, very narrowly es caped being shot by, a passing Highlander. who discharged his piece at the door where his Grace was standing, and missedbiut only by a few inches. His Grace entered the army at an early period of life, and served in Germany with reputation during the seven years war. He Lad a company in the liStb regiment of fcnit in the year 1759, and in the sSth regiment of foot in 1779. In 1764 he was served heir to his father in the estate of lone.. In 1769 he married Mary, daughter of Sir John Wray of Olentworth, in the county of. Lincoln, Bart., by Frances, daughter of Fairfax Norcliffe of Langton, in the count, of York, Esq.; and after her decease, without issue, In 101, he married, secondly, his present Duchess, Harriet, daughter of the late 13enjamin Charlewood, Esq. of Win. dleshatn. His only surviving child, now Duke of Rox burghe, was born at Rents on the 12th day of J uly, 1816. lis his person and countenance his Grace was, in his early years, a model of masculine beauty, and Reynolds never exercised his talents on a finer subject than when he traced the likeness at present in the collection at Pleura. His Grace retained io old age a noble and commanding pre sence, and we have seldom seen, even at a much less ad vanced period of life, any one exhibit, till his last fatal illness, fewer symptoms of declining age. Since the Period of making Fleury his ordinary place of residence, he invariably patronized and gave his liberal and efficient aid to etery undertaking which he conceived had for its object the happiness, comfort, or improvement of the commurity. The revenues of his princely estatc be expended with judicious munificence; and on every side we trace the erects of his bounty and public spirit. His charity, co-orrating with that of his amiable Duchess, was as unsparing as it was well directed. His sense of honour would have done credit to the purest age of chivalry ; and no man of any rank or station seemed more deeply impress ed with the sublime truths of the Christian religion, or made its precepts more steadily his rule of conduct. Tempera mutantwr! There is nothing certain in our climate, but uncertainty! The mercury in our therm° meter, in a southern esposure, which, on . Tuesday, between 1 and 2 o'clock, reached 103 degrees, was, at the same boor Ibis day, scarcely 63! Yesterday morning the Duke of Gloucester left town for Cheltenham. The Duchess of Gloucester left town at the sometime, for Busby Park, on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Clarence, and to be present yetterday at the celebration of the Duchess of Clarence's birth-day; upon which occasion the Duke and Duchess bad a numetons as semblage of distinguished personages. Captain Protberoe, a relative or friend of the family of the late Mr. Garrick, has purchased the villa and grounds at Hampton for 6,000 i. The statue, by Roubilliac. has been re moved from the temple in the frwit of the house to the British Museum; a cast, however, from the original marble is placed in its stead. The mulberry, a branch cut from Shakespeare's tree at Stratford-upon-Avon, planted in Garrick's grounds, flourishes like the Works of the Immortal Author. About 3 o'clock on Sunday morning, (10th instant) as a man named James Vann was getting over the wall of the garden of Sir Heory Hawley, Bart., at Leabourne-grange, for the pur pose of stealing fruit, be stepped on the wire of a spring gun, which went of, and lodged me contents in his legs. He fell down on the outside of the wall, and was not discovered till 8 o'clock, when be was bleeding profusely from his wounds. He Was taken up and conveyed to the Whealsheaf public-house, when surgical assistance was promptly afforded him. His legs, we understand, are both much shattered. He had, it appears, on the nate looming robbed the garden of the lion. Col.

On the amphilheatriced boundaries of " the Acre," tents and marquees, and booths of all sorts, lay basking in the sunshine, some for exhibitions of many legged sheep, and the " most astoniahisgeat works of nature;" and others for the dispensation of Itamsbottom's best, porter and pop. mirth-moving max, agd fragrant shag. Between these coverings of comfort and wonders, the banks were thronged with beauty and buitomnesa of every grade—some from the boudoir awl some from the buttery, and the level bottom of the Acre was kept open for the pe culiar revels of the jolly bachelors themselves. These revels commenced with a cricket match played by bachelors not exceeding twelve years of age, and the urchins exerted themselves gloriously. To this 'mewled whipping the ball, in which ten or twelve sturdy blind• folded bumpkin bachelors laid on each other with earl whips without mercy, coveriag themselves with shouts of laughter and Scrods of perspiration. Gingling matches, jumping in sacks, foot races, wrestling, and single stick or cudgels followed; but at these two latter sports the bache lors of Windsor are nothing. Their cailgelling is down right threshing, without the least attempt at science; and verily their heads must be hard heeds, to take so many thwacks as they did before they. would bleed. Between every bout the paterero was fired with thundering effect ; and as the son went down, the revels were wound up by a pig -hunt, to the great amusement of the ladies, and the great terror of the poor pig •himself. He was a vigorous ptick-ear'd fellow, with a short tail well soaped, and he sprunted about among their legs lustily, upsetting many a luckless bachelor, and displaying the garters of many a blooming damsel. There seemed. too, to be a sort of under standing between him and the master of revels ; for, when ever he was out of that necessary article, wind, he turned to the master of the revel., who instantly covered him with a large hamper as dexterously as Molly Chambermaid Maps the extinguisher on the candle, and thus the bunters were repeatedly thrown out. At length lie was ca ll ow, and seemingly not much the worse for his exercise. It was com monly reported that Lord Francis . Conynglown made the bachelors a present of this pig, but we don't believe a word of it. We have no doubt the report was set on foot by the bachelors themselves, in 'seder to Make the sport go off sti lislily. and to give their pig ad importance which he would not otherwise have enjoyed: , • .• By the tine the bunt was over it sires nearly dark, and dancing and drinking was then all the rage, till the very booths them selves seemed to reel with jol ity, end the never failing pate rero bellowed forth bra rot brartesimo! " Oh ! funny and free are a bacuelor's revelries, " Cheerily, merrily passes his lira ; " Little knows lie of connubial develries, &c." At night all the principal shops, the hum, and many private houses, were splendidly illuminated, end there was nothing but bell-ringing and music, and dancing, and drinking, and parad ing, until atter raidniatit; and then every body (except the watchmen) went quietly, to sleep. . Tug TERRACE. • --- By the courtesy of his late Majesty, of blessed me mory, diet:Jamie Terrace, and its delightful prospects, was always open to the public ; and there the Monarch loved to mingle with his people, the revered father of one vast and affectionate family. " We saw him oft on that terrace proud, " Surrounded by sights of gladness."— But sow—the terrace is closed—it is a sealed book ' • the good people of Windsor have lost clinch pro fi t as well as one of their proudest privileges, and Messrs. the public may seek elsewhere for their prospects —Richmond for instance; or the sister hills Highgate and Hampstead, or the top of St. Paul's, or the Monument on Fish Street lull; and if none of these please them, la them take a trip down to Derbyshire. There are lots of tine prospects in Derbyshire. There was a terrible hrouillerie about this same terrace last Sunday evening. The gates leading to it were closed in the course of the we .-1: by order of Sir Willi sin Knigh ton. " Very well," thought the worthies of Winisor • " very well, Sir William, this is all very fine ! Though ' , perhaps, its no more than we might have expected; and at all events it will be open on Sunday for the band to play as usual." Ab ! heartless Wintisorites ! you reckoned without your host! Sunday came—not a very nice one for walking ,certainly, bit tile elements themselves could not damp the existing anxiety to put the terrace question to the proof—" better to know the worst, than the torture of the mind to lie, in restless ecstacy." Ac cordingly at that hour. n hen the promenade was wont to commence with the luxuriant appliances of martial music and unbounded prospect, the burgesses, and their spouses, and their little ones; and the beaux and their belles; and the single blessed ones—spinsters unclogged in heart, but clogged in feet by the ingenious men of Bath • and many strangers, ladies and gentlemen from the land of Cockaigne; and country people ; and the Bachelors of %Vindsor not a few, assembled before the terrace gates looking when they should open. Even the hand of the Royal Fusileers was I there as usual with their bugles and trombones, and I things, hot the gates would not open! The burgesses looked bbick, and ,their spouses hioked Wee, and the vene rable spinsters luolced pink, and pretested, but n eve rtheless the gates would not open The centinel tramped toand fro on his wist, and looked as blue as any body—as blue and as hard as the iron bars of the gate itself—barring that lie smiled now and then at the pithy pro testations of the venerable spinsters. By and by the hand, to every body's surprise, began to march off with themselves, By this retirement hope was extinguished, despair got up lpermost, and great was the clamour of their tongues. At ength, as the crowd showed no disposition to disperse, mes sages passed and repassed between the officials at the Castle, who were certainly very much to be pitied—placed as they were in a very pitiable and pitilid predicament : pitiable beesuse full of pity at circumstances over which they, good souls, had no controul whatever. Grieved at seeing so many old and valued friends and neighbours stand kicking their heels be fore the iron bars of that inexorable gate, which erst was always hospitably open, it is believe.' that they would even have ventured to remonstrate with Sir William Knighton him-' self! But Sir William was at his dinner in the King's Lodge, almost four miles off; so remonstrance with him was quite oat of the question; and perhaps it was as well let alone, for what Is the use of pestering a gentleman for tits t which he cannot grant I At last, however, the commanding officer of the 1 1 guard, suffering his gallantry to overwhelm his discipline, took upon himself to order the gate to be thrown open, and the bead to come back again ; and every thing was instantly, comma il lard, and as it used to he. But it was " only for the nonce. for, it is said, the officer underwent reproof for his presumptuous gallantry ; and Messrs. the public, may de pend upon it that they will not be allowed to luxuriate in castles, and terraces, and prospects, as they were wont to do. The courtiers defend these innovations on the principle of Amu* a so* gout. "If my father," said one of the funniest amongst them—" if my father was fond of fried beef and cabbage, does it follow that 1 must lire upon bubble and squeak?" With his leave, though, there "is reason" even "in roasting of eggs."

Cops, Ats. o.—Andrew Sullivan, Patrick Hennessey, sea. Patrick Hennessey, jun. John Finn, and David Magner, were executed this day at Gatiows•green, pursuant to their sentence at the last Assize,. for setting fire to the mills stud dwelling* house of Charles Hennessey. near Castletown, in this county, on the night of the 21th of April last. Nine teen, it will be recollected, were convicted of the offence, of whom four have slate been respited. The unhappy sufferers were visited In the gaol, previous to be taken oat,for execution, by several gentlemen,in whose pre sence and keerlag they declared themselves ready lo submit, in the most Cliristian and submissive manner, to the sentence of the law: Their sentiments were of a most humble yet firm character, and their cool determination to die with fortitude, I strongly ezemplitled the power of religion to reconcile man to bear the severest trials which Providence may appoint. On their arrival at the gallows, to which they walked with a firm step, and apparently with a spirit of resigna tion, they expressed a desire to address the multitade, and to avow themselves guiltless of the crime for which they were about to suffer.—Let the declaration might disturb the peace of their minds, their Clergymen prudently inter fered, offering to be the medium of their declaration of innocence to the Suh-Sheritf, and the surrounding people, which for more public notoriety they bad reserved for the scene of their execution at the Green. Accordingly, the Rev. Justin F. MiNamara, within the hearing of the unhappy men, and in the presence of the Sub• Sheriff and the multitude, spoke, as well as we could report, in perhaps precisely the following words ; " These men now about to die, have severally and Indivl dually.directed me to say, what In their presence I now say, that though they die with respect for the laws of their country, yet, In justice to their own characters, they think themselves bound. as before GOD they are in their conscience enabled to do, that they are innocent of this single transaction for which they are about to suffer." Sullivan moreover added that Sheehan, who had been respited, was sot at the burning of liennessey's mills. The unhappy men were soon after launched into eternity.—(Souther* I Reporter.) tileeson, who was hanged at Clonmel on Saturday, for the murder of Ryan, near Newport, twelve years since, ac knowledged the justice of his sentence. A circumstance connected with this unhappy man, while on trial, deserves notice, and which manifests his contrite spirit. While the evidence for the prosecution was going on, he appeared greatly agitated, and was observed to gaze steadfastly . on something which be held in his hand. This, on examina tion, was found to be a .trim, which he contrived to ma nage so as to make it in the form of a cross, and while look ing.at this singular representation of that on which the Saviour suffered fur our transgressions, he was seen to strike his breast fervently, and to cry out, " Lord have mercy on me." The whole of his demeanour made a deep impression on the Bench and auditory. It was principally through • the instrumentality of the man who prosecuted Fogarty toconeiction, fur a burglary anti felony, for which he is now under sentence of death in Clonmel gaol, that .(Berson was brought to justice. The sentence of (Lath pronounced et our last Assizes on Richard Molony, Michael Itjan, Thos. Meade, Wm. Casey, Jeremiah Couvr.y. and Thomas Moylan, for attacking and taking arms from Mr. Harding's house, has been commuted to transportation fur life ; and, on Thursday, an order was received by the High Sheriff ta send them off forthwith, to be embarked on board the Hulk Surprise at Cove.—Lime rick Chronicle.) At the Sessions under the Insurrection Act, held at Cork* on Wednesday, Catherine Welsh, a deftest looking female, was tried for administering an unlswful oath, and threaten ing Mrs. Donley with destroction, if she did not discharge a pensioner, who lived in her house. John Long was also tried for being absent from hi. dwelling the night the Dripsey Mills were attacked. They were both convicted, and sentenced to seven years transportation. The twelve men committed for attacking the village of Glanasheen, and attempting:to burn its loyal inhabitants, in May last, are from the confines of the county Cork, and are despicable looking ruffians. Since the formidable attack on this village a detachment of the 71st bare been en camped within its precincts, and a barrack of &substantial deicription is now erecting at the expense of Government. The situation is most central and commanding. and it is supposed it will be a permanent military post.—(Lioserick Chronicle) etwsry or Losummocattv.—On Sunday last, when a number of persons of the protestant party (who had been charged at hint Londonderry Assizes with various offences, arising out of the unfortunate transactions which took place at Nlaghera on the 12th of June last), with their witnesses, bad arrived at Dungiven, under military escort, on their return to Michel." from said Assizes ' a mob assembled about them, and showed the strongest disposition to create riot and to assault and make an attack on said persons. From the very great appearance of riot and disturbance snattifFsted on this web , eeeee , it became necessary for Mr. fondly to take the 'Hillary party, who had come from Derry along with his own detachment. ass protection for, the said persons over the mountaius, on their way floes Dun given to Michea'. On Toesaley last. being a fair day at Duegiven, a serious riot took place. Several strangers with bludgeons were I observed coming into the town in the evening, and about the hour of 6 o't lock a violent attack was made by said per sons on sow of the special constables. The riot and die turhance roseto such an height that it required the utmost exertions of Major Gibson, the resident Magistrate, aided by said Mr. fancily and time military detachment stationed • ti ere, to restore tranquillity—nor was it until the Riot Act had been re .d three times by the Magistrate, the people • could be prevailed on to disperse. At one period of the rio', when stones were thrown at the special constables and military, some person in the crowd called "Fire, fire" upon . which two of the soldiers levelled their muskets, one of whom fired, by which a woman was nousided,hut not dangerously. Several permits on their way home were waylaid and beat. • The two Foldiers have of nice city been committed to gaol. —( fleyast Commercial Chronicle.)

It is not, we believe, generally known, that by an Act passed in the last Session of Parliament, a power is given to two or more Justices of the Peace, to hear and determine differences between masters and apprentices, in all cases where no larger sum than twenty-file pounds has been given with the appren tice. Before the passing of this Act, Justices out of Session could not interfere where the premium exceeded ten pounds. — And by another Act, passed last Session, the agent, manager, or steward of the master, (in case of his absence) may prefer complaint against apprentices fur misconduct; and tne Jus tices are to hear and determine it in the same manner as if the master had himself complained. attendance at the races. .

Yesterday afternoon, the adjourned inquest was held at the Golden LiOo, King-street, St. James's. before Thomas Higgs, Esq., Coroner, on the body of Mary Rowley. Mr. Thomas Rose, of Park-place. St. James's', surgeon. de posed, that on examining the body of the iteceased, he found toe right thigh and leg considerably swollen, which he consi dered the result of erysipelons inflammation. There Was not the slightest appearance to warrant an opinion, that the de ceased had received any Injury, which could directly cause tie death of the deceased. The Jury retired fur nearly a /loaner of an bonroind being unable to come to a decision, returned, informing the Coroner, they wished further wiawsses to be called. The CORONER informed them, that Dr. Armstrong. of the Fever Institution, was present, end had viewed the body. Doctor Armstrong said, before he g see evidence, he wished to examine the brain of the'deceated, and retired for that purpose. Rebecca Deacon, of Angel-court, said she lived opposite the house of the deceased. I.ast Friday week the window, of the two houses were open, and witness observed Mary Burgs dreg the deceased into the second floor room by a handiterehief which was round her neck. They were separated by the hos ' band of the deceased, and Burns went into the court.• She there said, " If it bad nut been for her husband she wouldhave been the death of her, and she wonld yet." Dr. Armstrong returned, and a ..id it was his opinion that the death of the deceased had been caused by fever. The (state of the brain was of itself clei!e sufficient to account for her death. Tne thigh might have been predisposed to inflammation by any blows she had received; but he was inclined to think that the death of the deceased did not arise from local infiaustealion.= The unhealthy atmosphere welch she breathed might have pro duced her fever, as might several other causes. Under the ps culler circumstances of the ease. he could not determine whe ther the fever was the immediate result of I .cal inflammation, or the effect of atmospliere.sor general causes. The Jury once more retired, and in about twenty minutes returned. The Foreman then said, it wits the opinion of the Jury that the deceased died of fever, produced by blows received from Mary Burns. The CORONER suggested, that before the Jury returned so se-•• doily a verdict they had better hear further evidence. Eleanor (Minn was employed by the i • risk to nurse the de ' ceased. The deceased coneiderel herself injured by Mary Hunts, and wished to he righted; she fr. quently assested that Burns was the cause of her death. At eleven o'clock on Sun day night, the deceased imputed the tapes of her death to Burns; and expired about half an hour afterwards. Deceased was perfectly sunsi le up to the moment of her death ; she oa no occasion was light-headed. • A considerable diecusslin took place between the Jury and • the Coroner. it was stated by J uryman that the professional gentlemen could nut say what was the immediate cause of death, therefore they could not alter their verdict. The CORONER suggested that the accused was entitled to the benefit of their doubts, and objected to the wording of the verdict. A Juryman observed, that they heti no ►vidence as to the be ginning of the quarrel, and pressed the Coroner to receive the verdict; they had nu evidence as to its being reansiamenter or murder. Notwithstanding the objections, the above verdict was re corded. DUET..—Yeßtrtday morning a meeting took place at . Hounslow, between Mr. B seconded by Lieutenant T-. and Mr. D-, seconded by Mr. The parties fired by signal, when Mr. D.'s ball passed through his antagonist's hat. The seconds then interferel, and the affair happily terminated. - - - - - Amongst the prisoners who were tried for felony en i acquitted at the late Salford Quarter Sessions, was a Jane Hewitt: she is already again an inmate of the new prison, under the following circumstances :—A man of the nein!, of Cumberland hail absconded a f irtnight ago, taking with him the property of his employer (Mr. Rrynrr, of this town, merchant) to the amount of 6001., which he had been directed to remit to Liverpool by post ; it consistiog of a bill of exchange for 5001. and some bank notes.—A large reward was immediately offered for his apprehen sion, hat as yet without effect. On Friday se'noight, however, the above female . ofered a hank note in payment, at the Green Man, at Ashbourn, under some circum stances which created suspicion ; and on a constable being sent for, he recognized the bank note as part of the pro. perty described in a placard-bill sent from Manchester, giving notice of the robbery. On examination, all the other bills were found in her possession, with the excep tion of a 101. note. She said she had met wi b Cumberland in Alinchester, who :old her he was a half-pay officer, and she agreed to go to London with him. At Maccltstield she said he had Intrusted her with the money, and fur some reason which she did not explain, she proceeded to Ashbourn, where she was to have met him. The proba bility is, that this has been a " diamond cut diatnonti" case, and that she has robbed the robber. In our , we hope to learn that Cumberland bas been &Ise er hended.—(Mancherter Herald.) 1 *•• • I A int 1;t Irl . , -
