Have yam hod occasion to make any @equities
with raped to the foundatiin of the School of St.
Bees, in Oho county of Cumberland ?—I have for
the teat flew menthe had occasion to attend to the sub.
;Oct very leech et large. I was originaily applied to
by some Gentlemen in that neighbourhood, to see
whether proceerfiegs ought net to be instituted of a
legal Were, to Ohio the property which they en.
,ilasteod
, bad originally leekvaged to the school, bell
Which' had been for many years in the possession,'
whether riglotlY or wrongly, of the Lonsdale family.
For how many years?.--Since the year 1742. In
'consequence of their application, I desired to see the
late Master of this school, on his coming to town,
which I understood he was about to do within a
month or two after the time I was applied to.
: Was his name Wilson ?—Yes.
Is he tutor in the family of Viscount Galway ?
us is, or lately was ; bet is at Osford et present. I
took down in writing the substance of the ezamina.
lions, which I had repeatedly, of this Gentleman ;
and I also saw the Provost (Dr. Coll inson) of Queen's
College, at Orford, who is one of the official Go-
vernors of the school ; with regard to Mr. Wilson, I
found reason to believe, that he had been turned oat
of the echoul a few years since, under circumstance'
which appeared to me of a harsh kind, and as it
seemed in consequence of laving pushed certain en-
quiries relating to the rights of this- school to an in-
convenient extent.
What communications did he make ?—That the
manor of Saint Bees, otherwise Kirkby Beacock,
together with some adjoining property in Sandwich,
altogether of a fiery considerable extent, formed, as
he believed, the original endowment of Saint Bees'
School ; that about the year 1742 an ancestor of the
present Lord Lonadale had obtained a lease at a small
rent ; I believe of 31. 10s. or 31. 165., but certainly
under 41., of the whole of the royalties of these
manors. I also found reason to believe that there
were very extensive coal mines, which had been
wrought either from that period, or certainly for
many years past, and that the product of those mines
bad amounted to some thousands per annum.
Since that. period ?—Yes.
For boa long a time dill you understand that
lease to be granted ?—For 867 years.
Did yoo understand that the person of the Low-
ther family who obtained the lease was a trustee of
St. Bees' School?—Yes, at the time of the granting
the lease, undoubtedly ; but I beg to be understood
that I am stating the result of information end en.
quiries, which hitherto have been totally exparte.
Did you understand by royalties the whole property
in • tlibse Manors of Saint Bees' School?—No, I
meant the right of getting cosi chiefly.
Did ywo understand that the right of the toil had
not twen departed with, beyond the right of dig-
ging for coal ?—Certainly ; I understood that the
right of the soil remained in the Governors ; but that
the right of getting the coal bad been leased to the
Lonsdale family.
Had coal ever been worked there before ?—That
I'dn not know; I should think, pro‘mbly not in St.
Bees, before the lease was obtained; but I. am speak-
ing merely conjecturally.
have you had any communication upon this sub-
ject with the Provost of Queen's, Orford?—Yes, I
saw the Provost about a month since.
Did his information confirm that which you had
previously obtained ?—lt certainly did ; and I saw
in the Provost's possession, a letter from a Mr.
Hodgin, whom I believe is now the legal agent of
my Lord Lonsdale; and in that letter, which is
dated several years since (I think in 1807), hestates,
expressly to the Provost, that at that time, coals
were being got in the manor of St. Bees, otherwise
Kirkby Beacock, by Lord Lonsdale. Since the date
of that letter, Mr. Hodgin has become my Lord
Lonsdale's agent, as I understand ; indeed, it must
have been subsequent, because I conclude, he would
not have written that letter, if he had been Lord
Lonadale's agent at the time.
What was the purport of the letter, besides the
statement respecting the coal ? —To call the Provost's
attention to the subject, as being one of the Gover-
nors who had a right to interfere.
Do you recollect any thing farther stated in the
letter as a ground for calling the attention of the Pro-
vost to that subject ?—Nothing, but that the Provost
ought particularly to look into the subject, as being
a Governor, particularly entitled to imitation from
his official situation.
Did be state any thing with respect to the annual
value of the property under tease ?—No ; except that
in general terms I understood him to speak of it as if
he thought it very valuable.
Did the Provost interfere in consequence of this
application ?—The Provost (as I understood, from
him) did afterwards see Lord Lonsdale; but be had
taken no proceedings upon the subject him-
self ; neither was he, I think, perfectly satisfied with
the explanation given by Lord Lonsdate.
Are you aware of any reason which prevented the
'Provost from interfering in the subject?—He is a
-eery old map ; but he expressed himself, on parting
with me, desirous to bare the subject enquired into,
and said, that he was ready to produce the letter of
'Hedgin's, and other documents, when be should be
,regularly requested so to do.
Did he state any thing as to his apprehension of (he
amonnt Oman now thu,?—Nothing. .

DUTCH PAPERS.
FROM THY FRENCH FRONTIERS, SEPT.
fore the review the Duke of Wellington bad some
conference with Lord Castlereagh.
On the 15th of September they begin with the
levy of the first 40,000 men, for the completion of
the French army. It is not yet decided when the
second levy of an equal number shall be made, but
it is supposed that this second levy will not be made
till a considerable time after the eventual evacuation
of the French territory by the Allied troops. How-
ever, they continue the voluntary enrolments.
BERLIN, SETT. 10.—According to authentic ac-
counts from Carlsbad, his Highness Prince Blocher
is entirely recovered, and iuteaded shortly to lease
that place.
AIIHTERDAIR, Serr. 16.—According to the most
credible accounts, the news inserted in the English
Papers, that a very malignant fever prevailed in Seri-
atim about the end of July, is wholly unfounded ; so
much at least is certain, that numerous letters, doted
the 30th of July, have been received here, which
make not the slightest mention of this circumstance.
His Majesty's frigate the Frederica Sophia Withal-
mina is arrived from the Mediterranean.
Accounts from Berlin say, that on the visit of the
Emperor of Russia to that city a body of 33,000
troops will be assembled, and that there will be a
grand review in the neighbourhood of Berlin, at
which Prince Prince Blocher is expected to be pre•
sent, now that he has recovered his health.
Beussw, Sam 15.—Accounts from Aix-la-Cha.
Ole state, t hat the Allied Sovereigns are to hold their
meetings in the *alone of the Stadt-house of that
town, in which the celebrated Treaty, known by the
name of 66 the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle," was con-
cluded ; end, lii consequence of which, peace was
signed on the 2d of May, 1668, and a long war be.
tween France and Spain terminated, through the
medium of Pope Clement IX. By this peace it was
stipulated, that Lisle, Tourney, Dooley, Coortray,
Oudenarde, Ath, Charleroi, &c., should remain in
the possession of France, and that, in return, the
whole of French' Comte should go to Spain.

TIM QUEEN.
P The official Bulletin of the QUEEN'S health issued
this morning, is follows :
" Kew Palace, Sept. ?.41.

" The QuELPSI has had sleep in the night, but the symptoms of
flier MAJESTIC:, complaint are not improved.
(Signed) " F. NIII.MAN,
'• H. H ALFORD."
Theextremity of weakness to which her MAJESTY
'is ►educed, sad itie unfavourable accounts from Kew
yesterday gave rise to a report last evening that
her MaJE.Te Ras no more. It appears, from the
abuse official information, that though she had some
sleep last night, she is considered as in no degree

pester. 1,14 fact, though much pains are taken to con.
cal her real situation, no persons but her medical at-
tendants, and the Ladies, being permitted to see her ;
it now appears that she is fast descending into that
state from which even the richest and the mightiest
Ire not exempt.
• The night beforelast, from seven to ten, her
-JESTY was eatietnely unwell, even more et 'bin
she hid been tat .say time daring the past week, and
in consequence,; the PRINCE Ili ozwr did not return
'to Carlton-house, at eight o'clock, as he intended.
Between eight -and nine o'clock, Sir HENRY Bar;
FORD returned from Windsor Castle, and had an
immediate interview with the PRINCE, to communi-
cate the state of the. Princess SOPRIA, which, we are
sorry to learn, is still very unfavourable.
Sir HURRY HALYORO had also a long conference
rich Sir FRANCIS Mu st.t:42 on the state' of her MA-
