Paste..---:.rhe library of this eccentric and
learned man is not to be dispersed. • His will does not contain
any directions as to its fate, but it.was hi; last. and anxioas
desire that it should be kepi to,iether.' • Earify is by no
means the character of the collection ; it contains few
books which the University and British Museum Libraries
do not also possess. The metaphysical portion of it is by
far the most full and curious; anti is what Dr. Parr him-
sAf particularly appreciated, and collected with the most
z.alous ardour. The religious controversies, and . all the
tracts relating. to - British Church history, are highly valuable
and complete. The classical portion of the library is well
known : the theological part is very extensive, comprising the
more recent German publications. It is much to be regretted
that the Doctor never made a Cataloo• ue Ra;sounie, which,
with his peculiar learning, would have been invaluable to the
scholar and librarian. The estimated pecuniary worth of the
entire collection varies from five to nine thousand pounds.—
Many of the volumes are filled with valuable and, legible
notes, in the Doctor's own Chinese character.
.Several hun-
dred rings are bequeathed in his will to his numerous friends
and acquaintance ; that for the Duke of Sussex, as of Royal
blood, is to be of the value of six guineas. The bulk of Dr.
Parr'a fortune is left between his two surviving grandchildren,
with a handsome provision for Mrs. Parr. Ills own direc-
tions for his funeral were as eccentric as his living conduct.
The rank of the respective pall-bearers, bearers, and mourners,
was specially dictated by the deceased. The dinner was also
ordered for the farmers who carried him to the grave—a cold
j shoulder of veal and mutton, a pint of ale before the funeral,
and a pint on their return, with two shillings each !

Mr. HowARD, the son of Lord Morpeth, a
young man of sound political principles, and of great industry
in public business, is mentioned as a candidate for this county
in the Whig interest at the approaching general election. Mr.
Bethell, of Rise, late High Sheriff, is also mentioned as intend-
ing to stand on the Tory interest.—( Leeds Mercury. )
A SEA CHAPLAIN'S RELIGION.—W hen tilt.
Earl of CLAWCARTY was Captain of a man of war, and was
cruising on the coast of Guinea, he happened to lose his Chap-
lain, who was carried off by a fever; on which the Lieutenant,
a Scotchman, gave him notice of it, saying, at the same time,
that he was sorry to inform him -that he died a Roman
Catholic." " Well, so much the better," said his b-rdship.
~ oot awa, my Lord, how can you say so of a British Clergy-
man ?" " Why," said his Lordship, " because 1 believe I '
am the first Captain of a man of war that could boast of having
a Chaplain who had any religion at all."
Mr. II ATtiwAy , a respectable farmer of Toc-
kenham, who attended at hlalmesbary fair, had in the after-
noon been drinking with sorne-strangera in an upper room of an
inn at Maltnes'oury ; and shortly ,atterwards, we are informed,
one of the strangers told the servant' that Mr, Ilathway was
taken ill, requested that he might be Tait to bed, " and that he
would soon be better." This request was attended to; and with-
in a few minutes the strangers left thehouse. At about eight
o'clock, some one, entered the bedroom to see how iiir. oath_
way was, when he was discovered a corpse ! Strong suspicions
are entertained as to the cause of his death, as only sixpence
was found in his pocket. A correspondent informs us,
that when Mr. Hathway sat down to dinner, he had a consider-
s Ole amount of cash in his pocket, and that two respectable-
lookirnr individuals, whet were at the ordinary, retired with him
after dinner into- a private room, and it was Observed, that
when the waiter brought the glasses, one of them rose, and tools
them in at the door, and it is suspected infused a poison into the
liquor. The unfortunate man has left a widow and ten chil-
dren.—(Bath Journal.)
ESCAPE FROM CAPITAL PLINISFIMENT.—James
Dovey and Roger Adams,- the two prisoners in Newgate, who
were ordered for execution on Tuesday last, but who were re-
prieved for a week, are now respites; during his Majesty's plea
nirol— been on theA shoe -
sure ; an order to that effect being received last night at
Newgate.
