New Vol. for 1642-43.

Her Serene Highness the Princess of Lichtenstein
has forwarded to the Royal Belgrave Lying-in In-
stitution a handsome donation, with permission toplace
her name with the patronesses of the Charity. The
Dowager Countess of Westmoreland has sent a second
liberal subscription ; the Earl of Liverpool and Lady
Mayoress Pirie have also lately become contributors
to its funds. This institution commenced in 18:_):
under the especial patronage of her Royal Highness
the Duchess of Kent, and was then confined to the
out-ward of the parish of St. George,lbut from its suc-
cess, its operations have since been extended to the
eight west-end parishes, and upwards of 300 poor
married women are now annually attended gratui-
tously in their accouchement.
Counsellor Lamb, an old man when Lord Erskine
was in the height of his reputation, who was of timid
mariners and nervous disposition, usually prefaced his
pleadings with an apology to that effect ; and on one
occasion, when opposed in some cause to Erskine, he
happened to remark that " he felt himself growing
more and more timid as he grew older." "No won-
der," replied the witty but relentless barrister, " every
one knows the older a lamb grows the more sheepish
he becomes."
DEATII OF R. TIIICKNESSE, ESQ.—The death of
this much respected gentleman took place on Tuesday
evening at his residence, Beech Hill, near Wigan.
It is rather singular, that three gentlemen who have
contested and represented the borough of Wigan
should cease to exist in the same year, but so it is ;
Mr. Richard Potter, of Manchester, was the first to
pay the debt of nature, then followed Mr. J. H. Kears-
ley, whose death we recorded a few weeks ago, and
lastly, the lamented gentleman whose death we have
the pain to announce.
