- THE LATE EARL OF PEMBROKE.

--.11111P.•
On the accession of this Nobleman to his family
estates, his tent-roll was about 35.000/. per annum.
The Firswitcram property in Ireland has been
since added. The improvements at Wilton and the
neighbourhood are supposed to have cost him 200.0004.1
Yet the rent-roll has been nearly trebled, and his pro-
pertylindependent of estates and entailed property) at
the time of his decease. was estimated at 600,0001.
Lord GODZRICR, the Earl of MALMISBURY, and dm

Hon. Mr. CLIVI, are executors to his will. Lady Pass-
•naos* (daughter to Senor Count WOROWXOW, and his
late Lord,bip's second wife,) it his sole executrix. The
Irish property descends toSiusten HUBERT, the eldest
son of her Ladyship and the late Earl. The present Earl
-has a legacy of 10,0001. (the entailed estates, the mag-
nificent Abbey at Wilton, and. the house in .Privy-
gardens, coming to him of right), which small be-
quest wasuccasioned by his marrying contrary to the late
Earl's wishes,with a foreign Lady of rank, now Countess
of Pamasoca. He subsequently separated himself from
this Lady, but neither the Pope nor the King of France,
though importuned to do so by very high authority
Gould annul the marriage. The enormous accumulation
of property, and increase of rent•foll, which the above
statement describes, thews clearly enough the value
which the lote war, sad the increase of population,
gave to property in land:

beautifol lady. newly married, being once in company
with Sick, spoke of her husband in vet y high terms
and, as the Dian thought. gave him more praise than
his due ; he, however, let it pass; but on meeting her
a second time. and finding her disposed to renew the
subject, he changed it to another by this elegantly
turned compliment:

•
You always are making a and of your spouse.
But this neither reason nor conscience allows;
Perhaps you will say 'tis to gratitude due,
And you adore bin, because be adores you?
Your argument's weak, and in you will find . •
For you by this rule must adore all inankind!
