LORD NELSON.


nonefit 6f victory against French fleet IN
1905, was the founder of the present pecrage thai
bears his name: |; is also known a Edtson OF
not over creditabe character existed between the
said Lord Nelson and the lady of Sir William
Hamilton. But the world does not know, nor
has not had the means Of knowing till lately, a
tthe of the credit that is due by the British nation
to that much injured person.
BY the iale publication of PeHigrew's History
Of Lady Hamilton, the British public and the world
have learned something of the heroism, the re-
markabe energy, diplomacy, and great good SER
vice OF that extraordinary woman. By her energy
alone, and the influence she had with the Queen
of Naples, she procured the admission Of Nelson's
ships, for supplies, into Sicilian port, without
which he never could have fought the
battle Of the Nile. 10 furnish these supplies, the
Neapolitan government had to break treaty with
France.
Lord Nelson's eldest brother, the Rev. William
Nelson, ID. d., and afterwards heir 10 the hero's
| estate and title, wrote to Lady Hamilton, urging
upon her TO use her influence will. the English
government to obtain for him n bishoprc !; -

of The brother Of Lord Viscount Nelson" than the
| one he then held. 80 am confident" he writes
of your influence in the affair, for know your
kind heart. That influence however could not
procure the worthy d. DE- bishopric. He sat
under the droppings of the sanctuary, in moro
humble position, until his heroic brother was shot
in the service of his country. and he with that
broher's will concealed in his pocket; walked into
his title and seat in the house of lords. He had
put his daughter under the of Lady Hamilton
for six years; and she had superintendent her edu-
cation with the utmost care. The will of Lord
Nelson merely commended Lady Hamilton and
their daughter Horata to the ca re of the nation

mentioned u; all. He, being heir to The ordship.
would Of course fare well enough. But this pioUs

be advanced by delivering UP the will, concealed
| the same until he had induced George the Third
and his government to make him the small grant
of S575 900 (fl2O,0O0,) to l. maintain the dignity
of the peerage.
Then he gave up the WILL when it was deposited
IN. boctor's Commons, &c where the curious can at

guilty of sing act of public private charity.
AS have only barely alluded to part Of this
most singular history, shall make no apology for
quoting article from the London Despatch Of
Aug. Goth. This article recounts the transac.
tions and shows up the character of the present
Lord Nelson, and his very reverend great uncle;
and illustrates the gratitude of tho ation, and at
least two of the recipients Of England's bounty.

wide-the city is about three miles square. !
