EXTRAORDINARY DAY'S SHOOTING.—On Thursday, the
3 instant, the Marquis of Anglesey, accompanied by. the
trl of Litchfield, Lord Uxbridge, Lord Alfred Paget, and
)rd George Paget, enjoyed a day's sport over a part of the
irton Manor belonging to the noble marquis. The sport
is extraordinary. The ground shot over was only four
tall coverts, averaging above 10 acres each, and the shoot-
occupied only three hours and a half. The following list
killed will prove the diligence and care of the keeper:—

VILL OF THE LATE MARQUIS CAMDEN.—The will
most Honourable John Jeffreys Marquis Camden has
ised the seal of the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury,
ministration has been granted to his. eldest son, the
marquis, sole executor. The personal property of
ueceased has been sworn under £40,000, to be divided

When it is recollected that the deceased nobleman,
iy years since, voluntarily relinquished an annual income
reat magnitude, and paid into the public treasury the re-
ts of his office of teller of the exchequer, to the amount
bout £12,000 a year, the very moderate revenue left to
)ort the title, and the still more moderate to be divided
ng the younger children, being taken into the account, it
)t too much to say, that a more splendid example of dis-
-ested and self-denying patriotism is not to be found in
innals of any age or nation. The late marquis had held
y high offices in the state, having been successively Lord
y Seal, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Secretary of State
he Colonies, and Lord President of the Council. The
