1,100,000/. to be char.gea en_ the estates of the Duke for
of paying offhis debts to that amount.
the purpose
Under that deed a sum just just below 500,0001. was raised, and
the debts were reduce by about half that sum, the balance
being appropriated to his own uses by the Duke. In 1847
iii Grace made application to the Marquis to join him in
raising other sums, and the Marquis, though he refused to
assent to that course, agreed to purchase the equity of re-
demption and to join in charging the estates, whether settled
on him or otherwise, and the personalty of his father, with
the payment of a sum little below 1,500,0001. The only
stipulation made by him as the consideration for charging
his reversion in estates, the rental of which was stated to be
52,0001. per annum, being that he should have I,oou/. a year
as a preference charge while a bachelor, and 3,000/. a year if
lie should marry, with the power of charging the estates
with a further sum of 2,0001. for his children. This deed
was executed, and, as is well known, has been to a great
extent carried out between the parties. A doubt, however,
having arisen as to the propriety of the sum paid for the
stamp, this case was drawn up, the Commissioners contend-
ing that the Marquis was to be taken to be the purchaser of
these estates for 1,500,0001., within a fraction, and that the
ought to be paid as on that sum, under the old Stamp
Act, 55th Gco. 111., which provides, inter ulia, that " where
any lands shall be sold and conveyed in consideration,
wholly or in part, of any sum charged thereon by wap of
mortgage and then due to the purchaser, or shall be sold and
conveyed subject to any mortgage to be afterwards paid by
the purchaser, such sum shall be deemed to be the purchase
or consideration money, or part thereof, as the case may be,
in respect whereof an ad valorem duty shall be paid."
Mr. Peacock and the Solicitor-General having now beets
heard on behalf of the Duke of Buckingham and the Com-
missioners of Inland Revenue respectivey,
Sir F. Pota.ocx (Chief Baron) stated that, as the case was
quite novel and most important, the Court would take time
to consider it.—Judgment deferred.

FRIGHTFUL DEATH OF A LADY OF FORTUNE BY
FlRE.—Last evening Mr. H. M. Wakley held an inquest at
33, Albion-strcet, Hyde Park-square, the residence of the
late Miss Sarah Gladstone Clark, aged 51, who was burned
to death. Oo Saturday morning, the cook, as usual, took to
deceased's bedroom her breakfast. Having knocked at the
door without receiving an answer, she went into the room,
when she was horrified at beholding her mistress sitting on
the coal-scuttle near the tire-place, almost burned to a cinder,
the rushlight screen standing near her, and the rushlight
melted down. Dr. James Hill, Guildford-place, deceased's
medical attendant, stated the deceased was very nervous. He

SA NOVEL. 0

' The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could
hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired
by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this irom the glowing lan-
guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays
on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha-
racterise nature's nobility. The writ::: evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man-
nerier, and Smythes.”—Observer.

gilwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed-
ing beauty, and is written in pure cud forcible language, with great
d taste and power. It is one o: the most interesting and en
gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha-
racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we
have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have
said. The other ladies who play conspicuons parts in the tal:
Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a
impulsive genius, passionately fon of music and poetry ; Julia
Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.
