Mr. WILLIAM LONG WELLESLEY.—AII
the golden expectations of that gentleman will not be
realised. The son has agreed to allow his father an
annuity of 5,0001.,. and has refused to cut off the entail.
TIIE LATE WILLIAM MELLISH, EsQ.—
Greatly to the surprise of everybody, not a single
legacy was left. • The question was put by the profes-
sional gentleman who made his will, and the reply was
" No." Some of his domestics, including the coach-
man, had lived with him for twenty years.

A grand ducal palace in Pall-mall has, it is
said, been let furnished to the Windham Club, at a
rental of twelve hundred pounds per annum. This
club at present occupies the house of the Countess of
Blessington, in St. James's-square.
NEW TERRACE IN RICHMOND PARK.—
The property of the late Lord Huntingtower, at Pe-
tersham, has been recently purchased by the Crown,
and is now in progress of being added to Richmond
Park. By the removal of an extensive plantation, a
view as beautiful as the one seen from Richmond Hill,
will be thrown into sight, and the public will be grati-
fied with a walk along the brow of the hill, which can-
not fail to delight them, in which clumps of cedars,
perhaps the finest in Europe, form a prominent feature.
This admirable improvement has been effected by the
good taste and perseverance of the Surveyor of his
Majesty's park.
We are at this moment credibly informed that
several of the parties who so unceremoniously quitted
the gas works are now in a state of great destitution,
and absolutely applying to tradesmen in Westminster
for alms.

The legacy duty in Ireland, in the last year,
was 25,4241., and the probate duty 37,4571. In Eng-
land, legacy duty 1,093,3431., probate duty 839,041/.
In Scotland, legacy duty 56,674/., probate duty
46,4221.

We extremely regret to be compelled to
state, that the situation of great numbers of stuff-
weavers at the Bank, in this town, is most afflicting.
Owing to the stoppage in trade, nearly all of them
have been thrown out of employment, and they, with
their families, are literally in many instances starving.
The excellent Benevolent Society has attended to
some of the worst cases, but these increase daily, and
we should be most happy to hear not only of private
but public charity being extended to the sufferers.
There could not be a more afflicting case.—Leeds
Mercury.

A letter received on Friday by the Rev. Mr.
Clark, from the Minister of Portsoy, states that the
body of Captain Gordon, who, it will be recollected,
was drowned at Portmahomack in January last, has
been washed ashore on the Banffshire coast, and that
his papers, money, and watch, had been found in his
pockets, and are in the custody of the worthy Clergy-
man who had ordered the corpse to be placed in a
coffin, but previous to interment, wished to know
whether the Captain's friends wanted the body sent to
Inverness. The corpse of one of the men who was in
the boat along with Captain Gordon when it swamped,
was found near Portmahomack a few days ago.—
Inverness Courier.

In the Chronicle of Saturday last appeared
the following paragraph :—" CLERICAL PLURALISTS.
—REFORM MINISTRY.-The Rev. C. V. H. Sumner,
Rector of Faimborough, Hants, and a son of George
Holme Sumner, Esq., M.P., and a Tory of the first
water, has lately been presented, by the Lord Chancel-
lor, to the Rectory of Byfleet, Surrey." We find the
correspondent from whom the above communication
was received has misled us. The living of Byfleet
certainly has been given to Mr. Sumner, but only on
his resignation of Newdigate, which is worth 1001. per
annum more. We the less regret the mistake, as it
has enabled us to state that the Lord Chancellor has
bestowed the living of Newdigate on Dr. Young, of
Calcutta, a clergyman of truly liberal principles, the
brother of Colonel Young. The exchange was made
with Dr. Young's entire concurrence, and the matter
was left entirely to him. Mr. Sumner only desired
Byfleet, because from local circumstances it was a par-
ticularly desirable residence to him. It is always with.
pain that we notice anything which to us appears ob-
jectionable in the character of a man like the Lord
Chancellor, who is so identified with the improvement
of the country, and who is so much the object of hatred
on account of his exertions for the public geod. It
gives us great pleasure, therefore, to be able to state,
that the preferment given in this case reflects the
highest honour on the judgment and good feeling of
his Lordship.—Morning Chronicle.
A KEY TO THE HAMILTONS.—The ac-
complished author of the new novel of " The Hamil-
tons" in her delineation, and individualisation of
character is eminently successful : many of the persons
of the drama will instantly be recognised as portraits
of men and women whom we are in the daily habit of
meeting, indeed it would be no difficult task to furnish
a key to the whole. The portraiture of the Laxington
folks is equal to the drawing of Miss Austen ; it has the
same simplicity and meaning.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.-We regret to
learn that.a lamentable accident occurred off the pier
at Dundee on the 30th ult., by which five young men
lost their lives. They belonged to Perth, and had en-
gaged a boat to convey them- to Dundee, on a visit to
an acquaintance in that town. They arrived in safety,
but, on their return to Perth, and while not above 300
yards from the pier at Dundee the boat was upset by a
sudden squall, and the whole five were drowned before
assistance could reach them. One peculiarly distress-
ing circumstance connected with this catastrophe was,
that the brother of one of the unfortunate lads had re-
quested him to dine in Dundee, and go back to Perth
by the mail ; but he declined doing so, and his brother,
while standing upon the pier, saw the boat go down,
and the heart-rending scene which followed. The
boat, it is said, was not considered to be a safe one,
carrying too much sail for her size.—Scotsman.
TRADES' UNION FUNERAL.—The fu-
neral of a member of the Trades' Union, named Hean,
who resided in the neighbourhood of Peter-street,
Soho, took place yesterday. The procession was
headed by several members of the union, decorated
with green silk sashes thrown across the left shoulder,
and rosettes on their breasts, composed of green,
black, and white ribands, and wands in their hands.
The body was carried by four men, who also wore ro-
settes on their breasts. Two men, carrying mute-
staves, followed. The mourners were attired in the
usual mourning cloaks, with a large rosette on the
breast of each. About 100 of the union, arm in arm,
and four abreast, brought up the procession, some de-
corated with rosettes, some with ribands, and others
with laurel leaves in the button-holes of their coats.
A great crowd started with the procession, and it in-
creased as the procession proceeded towards Moor-
fields Chapel, where the body was interred. The
procession proceeded along Holborn, Cow-cross,
Smithfield, Barbican, and Finsbury, and in many
places the crowd was so great that coaches and
omnibuses were obliged to go round by another route,
or wait till the procession had passed. It is supposed
that there were about 5,000 persons present. On
arriving at Moorfields Chapel the body was placed in
the entrance of one of the vaults; no prayers or ser-
vice were read over it, and the procession returned in
the same way it came.

NEWCASTLE CORN MA RKET.7ApriI 5.

We had a full supply of Wheat from the farmer to-day for
which there was a good demand, and the whole went off
steadily at about the price of last Saturday. Oats sold more
readily, but with no change in value. The best Barley
goes off readily, and we have sold one fine cargo
this week at 31s. per quarter, but with the mid-
dling and inferior qualities there is still no improvement.
for fine Malt there is a fair demand. Rye, limited sale. In
Beans or Pease little doing. Flour has this week sold more
readily, but with no advance in Fice.
