Thursday a Board for the discovery of the longi-

under the provisions of the Act passed in the last Ses-
sion of Parliament, and which nominated Doctor

.04 Captain HENRY KATER, in addition to the Great
-Officers of Stale, the President of the Royal Society,
&c. Commissioners thereof. Doctor YouNG has,

The Round House in Carlton-gardens, though it
made a great noise in building, has been pulled down
very quietly. It is to be hoped, for the sake of good
taste, that it will speedily be followed by its brother
folly—the Chinese-bridge in the Park, with its ap.
propriate cap and bells. It will scarcely be credited,
that the two edffices extraordinary (the former of

that he had decamped. The man is about 45 or 50;
dark complexion, and about 5 feet 8 inches high.—
The woman is about the middle-size, rather light
complexion. The daughter is about 15 or 16. The
man wore a light brown coat, light waistcoat, and

appearance of a gentleman farmer; betook with hint
a dark olive frock coat. The women wore a black
sarserret ; the girl a grey lostre; they each wore a
duffel cloak with blue lining, white straw bonnets,

Friday went to Melksham, where they stopped at the
Bear; and in the afternoon crossed the road; to
Bromhsm, Caine, and Chippenham.

Clapton, where he lived in retirement; The -boy,
soon after his birth, was sent to Cardington, near
Bedford, to be nursed by a cottager there, who
lived upon a mail farm of his father'l. This farm
was then the only property his father had in the
village, hot it afterwards became the favourite re-
sidence of Mr. ilowkno, when, by the increase of
his patrimony, he was enabled to perches, in its
neighbourhood. Mr. Howard's father was a Dis-
senter of Calvinistic principles, or rather an Inde-
pendent, and of coarse he entrusted the education of
his son to a tutor professing those religions opi-
nions, which he himself entertained ; but of whose
qUalificatinns for his office Mr. Howson, late in
his afterlife, expressed no very high opinion. From
the care of this toter, whose academy was at Hert-
ford, young HOWARD was removed, though it does
hot appear at what age, to a school of a superior de.
scription in London, which was under the direction
of Mr. Join. EAMV3. Amongst his fellow-pupils
was the late celebrated Dr. ?RICE. Mr. HOWARD
hating been destined by his father fora commercial
life, paid less attention to the Greek or Romin page
than he did to arithmetic ; and hence it is easy to ac-
count for the incorrectness of style in his writings,
and for his very superficial acquaintance with foreign
languages. After he left school, be was apprenticed
to Mr. NEWNUAM, grandfather to the late Alderman
NEWNHAM, a large wholesale grocer in the city.
