asserted, by means of brlbng the
guards. TO have succeeded In subsh
tuting another corpse for that OF her
father. and to have obtained possos-
sion of his renaine, which she con-
veycd to the prtory. At any rate, in
the uppermost story of NewburGh Prl-
DRY. at tho end OF n small chamber,
there is massive stone built into the
wall. with an inscription. setting forth
that tho Lord Protectors body lies
behind it.
Sir George Wcmbwelrs grandfather
married Lady Anne Beilasis, the
daughter md heiress OF the last Lord
Fauconberg. and thus brought both
Newburgh Priory and the lands por-
tanning thereto Unto the Wombwen

Sir George is married To Lady Julia
Villiers. elder sister or the present
Earl of Jersey, and granddaughter OF
the great Sir Robert Peel On her
fathers side. her grandmother was
that Countess OF Jersey who founded
Almack's. and who was for forty years
one of the acknowledged leaders OF
English society. which accepted her
autocrntic rule. and she figures under
the most transparent pse,idonyms I'm
several OF Lord Beaconsfeld's novels.
Some yoars ago Sir George and Lady
Wombwell celebrated their golden
wedding. and the affair attracted wide
spread attention, from far beyond the
limits OF the county. owing to the pop
ularity Of the couple. They had two
sons, both soldiers. who each OF them
| lost his life serving his country--one
out In India and the other in South
Africa. The next heir to sir Georges
baronetcy and estates is HIS only sur
wing brother. Henry, who was for
many years theatrical impresarlo
and owner of one OF IIiverpoofs thea
tres, and is now secretary of Boobies
Club, In London. AS he is childlcss,
the second heir Is his grandnephew,
the four year old son of the late Cap
tain Frederick Wombwcll. OF the Sew
enteeuth Lancers.
From London ! hear that there are
new developments in connection with
the ill-fatcd Scott South Pole eNpedi-
tion. resulting from news received
there from the surviving members Of
the expedition, and which, it is said.
go far to explain the reticence that
characterized the first reports concern
ing the disaster. 1t WAS doubtless this
that lei to tho sudden command Of
Sir Ernest Shackleton to Buckingham
Palace on Wednesday last, and to his
long private audience with the King.
For there is no one now in England
who could discuss the matter more In
telligently with the monarch than Sir
Ernest. who was the second In COM
mand on the occasion OF Captain
SCOTS first Antarctic expedition, and
who commanded the second Antarctic
expedition. which came within 100
miles OF the South Pole.
