FASHIONABLE FAUX PAS.

(From a Morning Paper. )
The recent arrival of a lady who moves in the
very highest ranks of fashion in this country, has been caused
by an incurable attachment on the part of her husband to a
lady, Mrs. the widow of a gallant officer. This attach-
ment, we are sorry to say, has ended in an elopement, and
articles of separation have been agreed to by the lady, who,
having already brought to her husband a most princely fortune,
which he has dissipated, she has, notwithstanding his frailty,
consented to allow him 3,0001. per annum out of that portion
of her fortune which had been secured to her at her marriage.
From another Morning Paper.)
FURTHER PAHTICUEARS..The above account is incor-
rect, as far as relates to an alleged elopement. The following
are the circumstances under which the parties became acquaint.
ed, and the connection formed, which has entailed unhappiness
on two families in the highest walks of' life. Mrs. 11--,
whose marriage with her husband, if not clandestine, was with.
out the approbation of the gentleman's friends, is a young lady
of great personal attractions. Shortly after her marriage she ac-
companied her husband to- tlinCentinent, but as love matches
are not always productive of the greatestt happiness, they. found
after marriage, what, probably', they' never took the trouble to
inquire into. before it—that tliturtemPen were not suited to each
other. Their domestic differences at length became so seriou4
and unpleasant, that Airs. B— requested the lady of the (nes
wealthy commoner, who figures in this transaction to reside with
her, until she communicated with her friends in England, and
convenient provision was made for her return to her own family.

The WILL of Sir GEo. Woon, Kt., late one of
the Barons of the Exchequer, was registered in the Prerogative
Court, in Doctors'-Commons, on the 16th instant. Probate
was granted to Thomas Bayldon and William Bayldon, the
nephews, the executors. The personal estate was estimated as
under the sum of 140,000/. The Will Is dated the 29th of No-
vember' 1023. The testator requests, should he die near Lon.
don, to be buried in the Temple Church; and, with permission
of the bendier& to have a monument or tablet placed there to
his memory ; but if in the north, to be interred at Royston, and
a handsome monument erected ; in that case he makes a be.
quest of 201. to the Vicar, and 101. to the parish clerk. His
house, furniture, and provisions, are given for the use of Lady
Wood for life, with the principal sum of 50,0001, three per cent.
Consols absolutely (to be in lieu of dower); it is however sub.
jected to a discretionary provision for her Ladyehip'a sister,
which, in case of her death or second marriage, is to be fixed at
the annual charge of 3,500/. Consols, for hersistersalife. The
testator's real estates, which lie in Yorkshire, he has apportion.
ed among nephews, subject to annual charges for female re.
latives. He has left many legacies, but they are almost all to
relations and servants,: 60,0001. Consols, in sums varying from
4,0001. to 10,0001., are given amongst nephews and nieces, and
the residue seems to be divided amongst individuals of the
kindred ; there is no mention of any children. His law books,
precedents, Grose's Antiquities, Doomsday, Dit,gdule's MOIUW
ticon, State Trials, MSS., &c., are left by the will to his wife
and a Mr. Allen ; but a cordicil, written in a feeble hand,
provides that, should Mr. John Alexander Wallace marry his
niece Louisa Baylon, " as I think they are engaged," (the
young lady appears to be a favourite), some of these books
should be his : he alludes to the former appropriation, and
adds, " if my wife anti Mr. Allen cannot agree about them, .
let Godfrey Sikes decide the same."
COUNTESS OF BELAVEDERE.—The encourage-
ment which has been given by this lady to the induslrious
poor in Tyrellspass and its neighbourhood in donations and
loans, reflects a high degree of credit both on her feelings and
judgment. In addition to her every-day charities, she has
lately appropriated 2001. to be laid out in loans of 1/. each to
individuals, which sum is taken again in small' weekly pay-
ments, and then lent to others in the same manner, so that the
money is continually in motion, and the good resulting from
it is very considerable. It is not our intention to make any in.
vidioua comparison ; we would only say to those possessing
the same means, "Go ye and do likewise."—(Preesnan's
Journal.)
A Tufty ButA..—The Mayor of an English
City has put forth an advertisement previous to
the races, " that no Gentleman will be allowed
to ride on the course except the horses that are to

run."

In 1294, when twelve Ambassadors from dif-
ferent Courts came to Rome to congratulate
BONIFACE VIII., the Pope, astonished to find
that they were all Florentines, exclaimed, " Flo-
rence is the first city in the world, and the
Florentines the refined fifth element—the quint-
essence of mankind."
