THE ADMIRALTY AT FAULT.—The following is ea
extract of a letter from Rev. S. Jenner to Admiral
Eden, dated " The Vicarage, Camberwell, June 9, 1864
" I was very reluctant to trouble you on so small a matter 06
the washerwomen of Plymouth, but I really knew not hoe
to proceed, and I have long thought, I may tell you,
that
the Admiralty should have some regulation, even in alicha
matter, for young cadets and middies
get sadly taken ad-
vantage of by these people, who charge enormously for the
washing. This is what fathers like myself, with large fatfaint"lies, cannot afford, and it ought not to be allowed. There
should be, allow me to say, in every naval port authorised
persons to do this work at certain fixed charges. As I has':
the honour to belong to that estate which in the preaeu_
day is said to rule all others—namely, the public press—rm
will not, perhaps, deem this private hint unworthy of cep"
sideration. I should be very sorry to have to make all
public strictures upon the Admiralty as the centrolling.

admiration.—Believe me, dear air, yours very faithfullit

THE LAST OF THE PITTS.— On Monday last there
died a lady whose life had been to prolonged an

events that, though cheerful and active, in the fu/1 enjor

events, her existence seemed almost an anachronism. Aria!

sister and co-heir of that half-mad son of whom we read in
the memoirs of Lady Hester Stanhope, and who found a:
appropriate death from the pistol of Captain Best, born in
London in 1772, and married 20 years later to Lord Gr::x-

Lord Lyndhurst, in St. George's, Hanover-square, upon tD:
