died September 19, 1824, in her seventy-second year,
leaving no issue.
We insert an abstract of the will of the first Sir
Robert Peel, not to gratify idle curiosity, but to show
how great are the przes to be gained by energy, en-
terprise, and intelligence, in a commercial country.
After entailing Drayton-park r.nd the
other large
estates in Staffordshire and Warwickshire, it proceeds
to recite sums, to the amount of nearly a quarter of
a million, previously advanced to, or settled upon, his
several children (nc.t including 9,0001. per annum
settled on his eldest son), and then bequeathes about
600,0001. more, making the portions of his five -
younger Ms 106,0001. each, and those of his _
daughters 53,0001. each. He leaves to a chapel
erected by him at Fazeley, in Staffordshire, 1,0001.
(afterwards revoked because he had endowed it with
lands), and 6,0001. to a school, established by him in
the said village ; to the Infirmary and Lunatic Asy-
lum in Manchester, and the Lying-in-Hospital in
Salford, 1001. each. The will is dated Jtily. 27, 1820.
By a codicil of Feb. 11, 1825, the portions of his
younger sons are increased to 135,0001. ; and of the
residue, which is said to have exceeded half a mil-
lion, four-ninths were bequeathed to the late baronet,
and one-ninth to each of his five younger sons. The '
personal property was sworn at what is technically
called " upper value," which means that it exceeded
900,0001, and was the first instance of the scale of
duties extending to such a sum. The probate stamp
was 15,0001., and the legacy duties amounted to about
10,0001. more.

BURY, LANCASHIRE,—TUESDAY.
This town, the birth- place of the late Sir Robert Peel,
prev-nted this day a more striking and serious aspect
than is generally the case on Sundays even; the shops
b ing cloyed aLd business suspended for several hours
in the middle of the day. The bells rang muffled peals,
and, altoj..ether, more deep and general regret was ap-
parent than has, perhaps, with the solitary exception of
the occasion of the death of the Princess Charlotte, teen
ever before known. A public meting will be held in
the Town-hall to-morrow, in compliance with a
requisition to the magistrates, which received, in
ore day, the signatures f eighty of the most respectable
inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood, including
the rector, tte returning effietr, the churchwardens, and
the clergy, both Protestant and Catholic, of Bury and
the neighbourhood, and men of all shades of political
opinior.
