FOURTH EDITION,
COMPRISING THE RECENTLY CREATED PEERS AND

BARONETS.
[n a few days will be published, in 2 vols., dedicated, by

permission, to his Majesty,
BURKE'S GENERAL AND HE-
RALDIC DICTIONARY of the PEERAGE
and BARONETAGE of the BRITISH EMPIRE. .

This New Edition of Mr. Burke's popular work, in
addition to comprising, exclusively, the whole Hereditary
Rank of England, Ireland, and Scotland, (exceeding Fit-
teen Hundred Families,) has been so extended, as to em-
brace almost every individual in the remotest degree allied
to those eminent houses; so that its collateral information
is now considerably more copious, than that of any similar
work hitherto published. Tim lines of descent have like-
wise been greatly enlarged, and numerous historical and
biographical anecdotes, together with several curious and
rare papers, have been supplied. The Peerages under dis-
mission in the House of Lords (a new feature in such a
work) are minutely detailed, and the claims upon which
the respective petitioners to Parliament pray the restor.-
tion of suspended honours are fully explained. The HOPI
Family of England is deduced from the Conquest to the
present period, and the Kings of Scotland brought down
in regular succe.sion to the era when the two crowns
united upon the head of James (VI )I. To these is an-
nexed a Genealogical Sketch of the illustrious house of
Guelph. The Armorial Ensigns have been re.engraved,
upon a plan of incorporation with the letter-press, so that
the existing state of each family, with its lineage and arms,
will be found all together. Amongst the illustrations, is
a fine head of his present Majesty, from Sit Thomas Law-
rence's celebrated drawing, engraved, by perinifsion, ex-
clusively for this work.

THE RESIDENCE OF PAMOOR

is beautifully situated on a dry and healthy eminence, which

beauty. The most celebrated scenery on the banks of the
River 'Thames is also within easy reach. It is at present
in the occupation of the proprietor, is in perfect repair,
and fit for the immediate reception of a family of respecta-
bility, requiring a mansion on the scale of comfort rather
than show ; containing on the ground floor, a hall, 19

comfort.

sive for the purposes of exercise and recreation, bttt at the
same time afford capabilities for much further improvement.

in addition to the beauty and comfort tict ich they afford
as an appendage to the estate, possess in common with all
ethers in this neighbourhood the advantage of being
exempt from the payment of Tithes and Poor-rates, and
are par icularly adapted for the preservation of Game,
being for the most part detached from other coverts.

IMPORTANT CAUTION.

1" THE RECUMBENT CHAIR is the in-
genious invention of R. DAWS, 17, Margaret-
street, Cavendish-square. The recommendations of it, in
many Scientific Works, induced many unprincipled Up-
holsterers to sell an imitation of it, which, we find, does not
afford the same extent of comfort to invalids, or as an or-
dinary Resting Chair as the original. We, therefore, ad-
vise the obtaining of I, of Robert Dawes " neeee's
ZurcEll MIR .{.11.141, Mar, -
ROBERT DAWS respectfu)•ly states that no other prin-
ciple does, or can, admit of half its variation or number of
steady positions, comfort, simplicity, strength, or elegance,
and he will present one to any respectable person sheaving
the contrary.
The same Chair may be had portable, also with wheels,
by which a person can move themselves in a room, garden,
or lawn.—May be had on hire.

SILVER HORSESHOES.—It iS mentioned
by BECK3IANN that when the Marquess of TUSCANY, one
of the richest Princes of his time, went to meet BEATRIX,
his bride, about the year 1036, his whole train were so
magnificently decorated, that his horses were shod, not
with iron, but with silver. The nails even were of the
same metal; and when any of them dropped out, they be-
longed to those who found them. It is well known that
an Ambassador from England to France once indulged in
a similar extravagance, to exhibit his opulence and gene-
rosity, having had his horse shod with silver shoes so
slightly httached, that, by purposely curvetting the animal,
they were shaken off, and allowed to be picke up by the
populace.—Chalmers' Edinburgh Journal.
PRIVILEGES OF THE SEXES IN ENGLAND.
—The ages of male and female in England are different
for different purposes :—A male at twelve years old may
take the oath of allegiance; at fourteen is at years of
discretion, and may consent or disagree to marriage----may
choose his guardian, and,if his discretion be proved, may
take a testament of his personal estate; at seventeen, may
be an executor; and at twenty-one is at his own disposal,
and may aliene his lands, goods, and chattels. A female
at seven years of age may be betrothed, or given in mar-
riage; at nine is entitled to dower; at twelve is at years
of maturity, and may consent or disagree to marriage; and
if proved to have sufficient discretion, may bequeath her
personal estate ; at fourteen is at years of legal discretion,
and may choose a guardian; at seventeen may be executrix ;
and at twenty-one may dispose of herself and her lands. So
that full age in male or female, is twenty-one years, who,
till that time, is styled an infant in law. Scotland agrees
with England in this point.—A Barrister's Introduction
to the Laws of England.

AUDEON'S PARISH, DUBLIN.—The Rev.
Mr. PHELAN in the Chair.—At the open vestry 351. were
proposed to be given to the vestry clerk.—Mr. JOHN
REYNOLDS said that the time had come when the Catho-
lics should show what was their feeling as to being com-
pelled to support an establishment with which they were
not connected. Mr. STANLEY, the newspapers told them,
had said be would " teach Ireland a lesson." Now he
(Mr. REYNOLDS) was anxious to teach Mr. STANLEY a
lesson, and to show him that he could not compel an en-
tire people to pay a tax, or support an establishment, to
which they were opposed. At this time 351. were pro-
posed to be given to a vestry clerk; and as this vestry
clerk did nothing for the Catholics, ho should propose
that, instettl of 351., he should get thirty-five pence !
The motion was put from the chair, and c trried by a
majority of 70 to 4.—Twenty sounds were then proposed
to be given to the organist. Mr. REYNOLDS proposed he
should get twenty pence. The amendment of Mr. REY-
NOLDS WES carried by an immense majority. Twelve
pounds were then proposed to be given to the beadle. Mr.
REYNOLDS proposed he should get twelve pence. The
amendment was carried. In consequence, the assessment
of the parish was reduced from between three and four
hundred pounds to 1501. Gs. Id. ; and this. Mr. REY.
lioLns designated " lesson the first for the Arms-Bill-

MEMOIRES ET ROMANCES D'HORTENSE
BEAUHARNOIS, daughter of the Empress JusErNINE, and
Ex-Queen of HOLLAND.—" A cmichity in literature has
just appeared, a little work of which the writing, the
music, and the pictorial designs, are all by the same per-
eon, and that person a royal lady. The Ex-Queen of
HOLLAND, now known by the title of the Duchess of St.
LED., is the poet, musician, and ,puinter, to whom we
allude. The intellectual merits of the work are not of
the highest kind, but the most careless will discover in it
grace, fancy, taste, and benevolent sentiment—all the cha •
racteristics of an accomplished and amiable female. The
book is such as might be expected from the daughter of
the most pleasing woman, and the sister of the most
gallant cavalier of the age (Prince EUGENE). Even their
BOURBON enemies avknowl-dge the graceful and win-
ing qualities, both personal and moral, of JOSEPHINE ;
the high spirit and gentle baring of EUGENE, whom
Louis XVIII. called the modern BAYARD, the knight
without fear and without reproach. HORTENSE BEAU-
izanwois is not unworthy of such a stock : she exhibits
all the audible graces of the mother, all the chivalrous
ardour of the brother."... Mtn.
