THE DUKE 01' WELLINGTON.—As several erro-
peons representation asppeared in the public prints.
ef last week, respecting the purchase of an Estate
for this illustrious Character, we think it neces-
sary to state the real fact upon certain informa-
tion. Sir GEORGE BOWYER'S Estate has not been
purchased for his Grace, nor has any positive
measure been resolved as to what Estate will be
purchased for the purpose of affording a national
tribute of esteem, admiration, and rratitude, to
one of the most distinguished heroes that has ever
reflected on this or any other .country.
_INTERESTING CASE.--A case of peculiar interest
will very shortly be brought before, the LORD
CHANCELLOR. It is a petition on a statute of
lunacy, preferred by the brother of a Noble Peer,
who is presumptive heir to .the title, against the
Noble Lord:

J9HANNA SOUTHCOTT S ILL:—The Will of
Johanna was to have been proved in the Preroga-•
tive Court on Friday last ; but her brother, who
resides in Devonshire, having entered a caveat
against it, anti administered to her property, it
could not be done. This will bring on a litiga-
tion between him and the present executors. • The
brother's objection rests upon the unsoundness of
his sister's mind, and her consequent inability to
dispose of her property. -It is even supposed 'that
the presents which have been sent for the promised
child, cannot be returned according to law, until
it- is legally ascertained who is the rightful owner ;
as immediately upon her death they became the'
property either of the brother or the executors.
A Letter from Ghent of the Gth says, " our na-

The failure of Messrs. MARSH, DEANE, WEST-
IRROOK,, and DEANE, has caused the greatest dis-
tress, at Reading, Henley, and Wallingford; at
each 'of which towns they had banks. The rich
and poor of the surrounding country are almost
all sufferers : Mattsa and Co.'s was the only bank
at Reading that issued 11. notes, consequently al-
Most every poor person who was a pound before-
hand in the world became the unfortunate holder
of their paper. The denouement of this tragedy
was precipitated, it is understood, by Govern-
thent calling on Mr. DEANE, one of the Receivers-
General of Taxes for the county of Kent, for ar-
rears to the amount of 30,0001. For a day or two
after the stoppage, great confidence of a good OM-
dead was entertained, and a Gentleman in Reading
bought up notes to-the amount of 10001. at 101.
for the pound ; but this delusion has vanished,
and the notes ate now considered as ljttle better
than waste paper. .
