PuLlic curiosity is at len;-th gratified by the pub-
lication of the Mmatusts OF LADY 11.1.111-ToN. They

related of herself are very extraordinary, though they
carry with theta every mask of authenticity.

Court. She has kit a few trifling legacies to rela-
tions, and the residue', is case of no luue Male, to
Mrs. JANE: TowNt.F.i and ANN UNDERWOOD, her exe-
cutrix. There is a clause, directing restitution of the'
various presents, made in expectation of the birds of
a male child, in case of no such event, to the respec-
tive devotees ; and reference is made to a book, con-
tainieg a catalogue of their names and offerings,
which it has been necessary to record with the testa-
mentary papers. Every passible want and accommo-
d.itiun seems to have btea anticipated with scrupa-
l'.us attention. Th •re are cradles, robes, mantles,
