THE EARL OF DUDLEY'S WILL.—The
will of the late Lord Dudley, which is of considerable
length, occu
PYiliß 22 closely-written sheets, is dated on the
26th of July, 1931. It consists entirely of devices of his
real and personal property (chiefly estates in the counties
of Stafford, Worcester, Middlesex, and Merioneth), in
trust to the Earl of Aberdeen and the Right Hon. James
Abercromhy, Lord Chief Baron of Scotland ; and, also in
trust, to the Bishop of Exeter, the Right Hon. J. Little-
ton, Mr. Downing, and Mr. Benbow, for the benefit of
his cousin, the Rev. William Humble Ward, and his
family. The former has a specific annuity of 6,0001.
Various sums are bequeathed out of the trust-estate to
Mrs. Ward, and to the two sons and daughter of Mr.
Ward, with contingent remainders of a complicated
character. The accounts of the trust estate are to be'
audited by "Jr. James Loch, of Bloomsbury, who is to
receive an annuity of 5001. a year for that office. (Some
other person had been named, as Mr. Loch's name is
written over an erasure,) In case of his declining, or
death, two auditors are to be named by the executors,
with a salary of 2001. a year each : the amount of this
salary has been altered since the will was written. The
Bishop of Exeter (Dr. Phillpotts), Mr. Littleton, Mr.
Downing, and Mr. Benbow are named executors. The
codicils are four in number; the three first are dated in
September, 1831 ; the last in October, 1831. They are
all autograph and written upon note paper. By the first,
the Noble Earl has bequeathed 25,0001. to Mr. Frederick
William Spencer, son of the late Commissioner Spencer;
the interest to be paid to him during his minority, and
the principal on his attaining the age of 21. By the
second, his Lordship bequeaths legacies to the following
persons :--111r. Abercromby, 6,000/. ; Mr. Benbow,
5,000/. ; Mr. Downing, 4,000/. ; the Bishop of Exeter,
2,000/, By the third, he bequeaths an annuity of 800/.
to Mrs. Spencer; the relict of Mr. Spencer. By the last,

hie Lordship has left an annuity of 2,000/. a year to the
Baroness Lyndhurst, secured to her sole and separate use,
with a proviso that the bequest shall become void in the
event of the annuity being assigned or sold by her Lady.
ship. Probate of the will and codicils has been taken
by all the four executors, and the value of the personal
property within the province is sworn to be under 350,000/.
His Majesty on Friday last honoured the Earl
and Countess of Erroll with his company at dinner, at
their villa in Richmond Park. There were present to meet
the King, the Prince and Princess Lieven, the Duke of
Richmond, the Earl and Countess of Albemarle, Col. and
Lady Mary Fox, the Hon. E. G. and Mis. Stanley, and
Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence.
Lord and Lady Lyndhurst are expected to
arrive this week at tbeir residence in Hyde-park-place,
from Paris. Saturday, the 2d of November, is the
first day of Michaelmas Term, on which day the pre
sence of the Chief Baron in the metropolis will be in-
dispensable.
Earl de Grey will give a grand entertainment
to-morrow, at Wrest House, Beds, to four hundred
persons, in honour of the marriage of his daughter and
heiress, Lady Anne.
The Earl of Stair, almost a constant resi-
dent in the French capital, intends to entertain, in the
course of the approaching winter, all the British noblesse
sojourning there. His Lordship, 'we believe, retains his
residence in Seymour-place, Curzon-street, for his accom-
modation when he comes to England.
The Hon. Susan Liddell, a daughter of
Lord Ravensworth, who has bestowed her hand on Cap-
tain Yorke, the Member for Cambridgeshire, is one of
a family of sixteen children. Captain Yorke is a nephew
to the Earl of Hardwicke, and heir-presumptive to the
Earldom after his uncle the Right Hon. C. Yorke. A.
sister to the Hon. Mrs. Yorke is understood to be en-
gaged to Captain Trotter, the Frst Life Guards.
The party at Hatfield House will not break
up until the close of the present week. The annual
review of the Hertfordshire yeomanry will take place
about the second week of the present month, when the
Duke of Wellington will be the guest of the Noble
Marquis, on which occasion his Lordship's splendid man-
sion will be thrown open for one of its winter meetings.
No Viceroy ever retained so many of his
predecessor's establishment as the Marquis Wellesley has
done. Lord G. Hill, the Comptroller, and Captains
Clements, Henry and Stewart Page, the Aides-de-Camp,
are still in office. Mr. Montgomery, a youth of 16, has
been named one of his gentlemen at large. Mr. Franklin,
clerk to Baron Tuyll, has been sent to the Chief Secre-
tary's office, and his successor, as clerk to Colonel Shawe,
is a Mr. Fabian.—Evening Mail.
MARRIAGE IN HIGH LITE.—Oti Satur-
day, the 19th inst., at St. James's church, by the Hon.
and Rev. Lord Wriottesley Russell, Lady Georgiana Paget,
daughter of the Marquis of Anglesea and the Duchehs of
Argyll, to Lord Crofton. The following personages were
present at the ceremony, and at a breakfast afterwards
given by the Duchess of Argyll, in Upper Brook-street :
—The Duchess of Argyll, the Duke and Duchess of
Richmond, Marquis and Marchioness of Conyngham,
Countess of Jersey, Earl and Countess of Uxbridge, Earl
and Countess of Errol, Lord Villiers and Hon. A. Villiers,
Lord and Lady Templemore, Lord and Lady Charles
Churchill, Lady Caroline Stewart, Mr. and Lady Agnes
Byng, Mr. and Mrs. St. George Caulfield, Mr. and Mrs.
Antrobus, Mr. and Mrs. D. Tighe, Hon. Colonel and
Mrs. Cavendish, Earl of March and Lady C. Lennox,

A., Lady Augusta, and Miss Paget, Lady Wriottesley
Russell, Hon. B. Paget and Miss Paget, Sir William and
Lady Jolliffe, Hon. Sir Charles Paget, Hon. W. Crofton,
Mr. Lowe, Mr. Graham, Miss Stewart, &c. Soon after
one o'clock the bride and bridegroom left town for Hal..
naker Cottage, Sussex, the seat of the Duke of Argyll.

It is in contemplation that the students of
the Naval College, prior to their leaving that establish-
ment, shall take a cruise for a given period, say for four or
five months, in a similar vessel to the Rapid brig, which
they are to assist in working, for the purpose of acquiring
some practical knowledge of seamanship before they are
appointed to men-of-war. We understand the Surveyor
of the Navy has been called upon to select a brig for this
purpos*, which will be placed under the orders of the
Lieutenant Governor of the College.--Hampshire Tele-
graph.

CITY CLUBHOUSE.—The new subscription
clubhouse in Old Broad-street, Threadneedle-street, oppo-
site the church, is nearly finished. It is a plain but
handsome building, in which convenience is more con-
sulted than decorative architecture, as it has neither
portico, nor columns, nor pilasters. Over the door is a
large projecting copingstone, adorned with a festoon of
flowers, running from the middle to the corners, from
which are suspended two wreaths of a similar pattern.
There are six windows on the ground floor, three on each
side of the entrance, which is not yet finished, and in the
story above there are seven windows with balustrades.
The entrance leads into a spacious ball, part of which
is occupied with an ascending flight of broad steps, ter-
minated by a landing place, from which another flight
ascends, branching into two others, which lead to the
apartments above.

THE JERSEY FAMILY.—A further delay of
ten days has been announced. This arises from the ex-
treme debility of the Noble Lord, who never had such an
attack before. It is called a repelled gout. However, at
last he has been enabled to get out ; twice in the preceding
week he took the air in Hyde Park, and felt relieved.

Mr. BUCKINGHAM.—J. S. Buckingham,
Esq., M. P., delivered a course of lectures at Scar-

borough, during the last week, on the manners and
customs of the Oriental World, which have given general
satisfaction, and were numerously attended.—Sunderland
Herald.

Sir Coutts Trotter, owing to the great pres-
sure of business, is still here. However, in a fortnight
the Baronet expects to be enabled to meet his Lady at
Vevay, in Switzerland. They then go to Rome, and
thence to Naples for the winter.

The Duke of Athol still remains on the same
sequestered spot where he has so long been an inmate.
PARLIAMENTARY SPEECHES.—The whole
space occupied in the Mirror of Parliament, by speeches,
is 1057 columns, of which 185 are occupied by the new
Members, and 872 by the old.
DIPLOMATIC INTELLIGENCE.—Mr. Ad-
dington, the late Envoy at the Court of Madrid, arrived
in Albemarle-street yesterday, from Paris. The Hon.
Gentleman had a long interview with Lord Palmerston at

the Foreign-office, and afterwards proceeded to Richmond
Park on a visit to his uncle, Viscount Sidmouth, who
resides with his family at the Ranger's Lodge. If Mr.
Addington should be shelved, or placed on the retired list
of diplomatists with Lords Stuart de Rothsay, Heytes-
bury, &c., be will be entitled to a pension of 1,8001. or
2,000/. per annum. Mr. Addington was Minister Ple-
nipotentiary to the German Diet previous to his appoint-
ment to the Embassy at Madrid, and for the last fifteen
years he has bee❑ actively employed in the diplomatic
department.

DEATH OF ARCHIBALD CANIPRELL.—We
regret to have to record the death of this very old servant
of the town, and well known character. For upwarris of
40 years he has been one of the town•officers, and most, if
not all of that time, he has been the " Provost's man."
Whoever was Provost, "Archie" was his "most ohe-

dient, humble servant," and a very useful and trust-
worthy person be proved; and we are sure Caleb Balder-

stone never felt more anxiety for the "credit of the House
of Ravenswood," than did Archie for the credit and re-

spectability of the gentlemen of the Council: He was no
meddler in politics—he never questioned, or thought of
questioning the propriety of any of the acts of bis superiors;
we believe he deemed them immaculate. Archie was

as good a representative of his Highland country-
men as we remember to have met with. His den,-

tion to his " chief," the peculiar shrewdness and
caution which he always manifested, and above all, his
love for the "bawbee," and habits of economy, all declared
him a true native of the hills. He was much esteemed by
all who knew him, and his name will not soon be for-
gotten. Archie was in the Council Chamber on Thurs-
day, and this morning he died, so that his illness has been
very short. For some time past, however, he has been
evidently on the decline. In conclusion, we may notice
the coincidence (which we dare say will occur to many),
of Archie's demise with that of the system under which
he has for so long a period enjoyed " the sweets of office."—..
Scotsman.

GIRDLENESS LIGHT-HOUSE.—The "inde-
fatigable exertions" of the Shipowners of Aberdeen,
coupled with the large sum which the port pays to the
revenue of the northern light-houses (2001. a.year), have,
at length, secured another most important " mariner's
guide" to the eastern coast of Scotland, by the erection
of that splendid tower on the Girdleness, which dis-
played, for the first time, its " beacon lights" on the
evening of Tuesday last. The description and bearing!,
of that lighthouse have been repeatedly advertised in this

and other newspapers, tut VII congratulate the public on
the admirable manner in which the eastern coast is now
lighted up. From the Bell Rock to Kinnaird Head, a
distance of less than one hundred miles, we have
❑ow four distinguishing lights, giving confidence
and security to the mariner and his employers where
formerly all was darkness and danger. A contemporary
justly remarks that the Girdleness light, from its proxi-
mity to the entrance of Aberdeen harbour, cannot fail to
render the part a most desirable fishing station. We may
add also, that the Aberdeen Harbour Act wisely exempts
from tonnage dues all Md.') fishing vessels frequenting
the harbour, when employed in the deep sea or herring
fishery, and having ❑o cargo on board but their fishing
implements, an exemption also extending to ebore-dues on
all fresh fish in hulk ; and as those advantages, among
many others which the port of Aberdeen possesses, are
not to he met with in any other on the northern coast, we
trust the harbour trustees will take care to make them
generally known to the numerous fishermen who annually
frequent our shores.—Aberdeen Heradl.

ti,d a surplus of 1781. over the city expenditure ; a novel
circumstance.

CONSOLIDATED BOARD OP STAMPS AND
TAXES.--Mr. Leggett's long public services as his Ma-
jesty's Solicitor to the late Board of Taxes terminated on
his retirement on the 10th of October. Mr. Timm, the
Solicitor for Stamps, succeeds him in the united law duties
of the new Board.
Master Incledon, grandson of the late cele-
brated vocalist of that name, is about to make his debut
at the Victoria Theatre, in a ballad opera composed ex-
pressly for him. He has, it is said, a voice of great sweet.
ness and compass. Tie comes forward as the pupil of Mrs.
G. Wood, a lady long known to the musical world.
NEW BANK IN PERTH.—It is proposed to
establish in Perth a Joint Stock Company, under the
denomination of the Central Bank of Scotland, for the
purpose of transacting the business of banking in that
city and neighbourhood. The capital stock of the Com-
pany is to be 250,0001. ; shires 1001. each. No indi-
vidual to hold more than 50 shares.—lnverness courier.
On Friday a meeting was held at the Town-
ball, Brighton, to adopt means for rebuilding the Anthaum
at the western part of Brighton, which lately fell down.
The Rev. Dr. Everard in the chair. Mr. Phillips, one
of the proprietors, proposed the following plan :—To issue
120 silver tickets at 501. each, bearing interest at five per
cent., or single and family tickets of admission at given
prices. Another gentleman said 10,000/, was required
to build the Anthaum ; 120 silver tickets would produce
6,0001., and the remainder of the money was already in
hand. A committee was appointed to confer on the subject.
The parishioners of Cumnor, Berkshire, who
pay tithes, have a custom of repairing to the vicarage
immediately after the conclusion of prayers in the afternoon
of Christmas Day, where they are entertained with bread
and cheese and ale. They claim on those occasions two
bushels of wheat made into bread, half a hundred-weight
of cheese, and five bushels of malt brewed into ale and
small beer. The fragments are distributed among the
poor, on the following day. In Cumnor-place, formerly
the seat of the Abbots of Abingdon, Sir Walter Scott has
laid the death scene of Amy Robsart, the heroine of
" Kenilworth."

PORTUGAL VOLUNTEERS.—The agents of
Don Pedro having been actively recruiting in this city,
no less than 172 individuals embarked in one of the Canal
boats o❑ Tuesday last, 80 on Wednesday, and a farther
number will take their departure this day. In short, we
believe that about 400 are expected to be the Edinburgh
quota. They will be conveyed to Greenock, where they
will sail for their final destination. We understand they
will be regularly embodied, placed under the command of
our gallant townsman, Colonel Shaw, and will be deno-
minated the Scotch rifle brigade. Several pipers, buglers,
he., accompany them.—Edinburgh Observer.
ENORMOUS LOBSTER.—There is at present
In the possession of Captai❑ Jenkinson, of the Brothers,
of Hull, a lobster of enormous dimensions, caught during
a recent voyage of that ship to America, off Cape Codd,
near Boston, U. S. When alive its weight was nineteen
pounds and a half, its length from the tip of the tail to
the extremities of the antennas, 3 feet 6 inches, and the
breadth of the second joint of the large claws 7 inches
and a half. This formidable looking monster was boiled
soon after it was caught, for the purpose of aiding in his
preparation for the cabinet.
The Echo de la Frontiere, of Valenciennes,
relates the following distressing circumstance:—A lady of
this town, just returned from Brazil, brought with her,
as a servant, a man of the country, who, although origi-
nally a savage from the interior, appeared by his calm and
docile character to have lost all the habits of his tribe.
This man was intrusted with the care of her child. One
day lately he and his charge were missing, and no time
was lost in searching for them. At length the wretch was
discovered in a forest, in the act of devouring the remains
of the unfortunate child. The sight of a fine child revived
in him the cannibal appetite, which he could not resist,
and so fled into the forest to gratify it.
The all absorbing question of reform, in days
past, put fire into our townsmen, and the embers were
gradually dying away, but a blast from the surveyor of the
assessed taxes in his extra charges by a new survey, has
blown up a flame, and the only difference between then
and now may be safely compared to our beautiful oil lamps
in the streets (making, as Milton says, ‘, Darkness
visible,") in their contemplated change for gas, which we
hear will shortly take place. Extremes in report are
never wanting—every body is put up, though in tact some
remain in statu quo, and some are a little lower. The
notices of surcharge, were served, some two and others
three days ago, and " the day of appeal to-day !" How
can 28 days' notice be given to the collector, which seems
the law ? Some of our small respectihle houses are charged
u much as many of the country gentlemen's seats, and
therefore nothing short of memorialising Lord Altborp will
serve to extinguish the flame. This course has been re-
solved on by a requisition to the Mayor of Henley to call
a meeting, which is fixed for Monday, and which is ex-
pected to be very fully attended.—Berko Chronicle,
THE SILL TRADE.—Yesterday an unusual
number of persons interested in the silk trade, assem-
bled at the usual periodical sale at the East India House.
J. Muspratt, Esq., was the presiding Director. The
Act of Parliament reserves to the Court of Directors the
power of continuing the trade in silks for some time after
the expiration of the charter, and Mr. Moore observed
that it was highly important that the Company should
regulate the quantity of silk declared for sale by the state
of the market, the Directors having the discretion of in-
creasing or diminishing the quantity. Mr. Muspratt
read a resolution which had been come to by the Com-
mittee of Buying and Selling. It stated that there was
no necessity for making any change at present in the pe-
riods for making the sales, and that no change would be
made without due deliberation, and notice being first
given to the trade. Mr. Brocklehurst expressed his gra-
titude to the Company for the increase that bad been made
in the present declaration, especially at a time when the
market was so high. The declaration had been increased
from 2,400 bales to 2,832. They will not be disposed of
for some days. As compared with the prices obtained at
the Company's sale in July last, the quotation given to
yesterday established an improvement amounting to about
20 per cent.

In the year 1762, and for several years after,
no theatrical notices were given in newspapers, except of

. .
a new piece or a new performer. Daily—at least, fre-
quent—criticisms were commenced, shortly after the
establishment of the Morning Chronicle in 1768, by Mr.
William Woodfall, its editor. In the years from 1762
to the establishment of the Morning Chronicle in 1768,
there were extant (as well as our informant remembers)
four daily Morning Papers, three three-times a week

papers, and one Saturday Paper ; the plays for the evening
were then published exclusively in the Public Advertiser
and the Gazetteer, and it was understood that each of
