P. 375. a. Mr. Richard Ryan was a native of Ireland, and kept a bookseller's shop in Dublin, but quitted it for this country; and resided, for upwards of 35 years, in Oxford-street, carrying on a re

P. 378. b. The late Lord Audley, April 3, 1784, assumed the name of Tuchet, by permission of his Majesty; married May 19, 1781, first, Elizabeth, coheiress of John late Lord Delaval, by whom (who died July 11, 1785,) he had issue Elizabeth Susanna, married to John Coffiu, esq.; George John, b. 1783.

P. 567. The personal estate of Richard Howard, esq. of Grovenor-square, amounted to nearly 350,000l. the probate duty being 4,500. This is independent of the tax on the legacies, which is paid by the legatees on their receipts. In the present case those to servants are desired to be, paid in full, and the stamps discharged out of the estate. The pecuniary legacies are probably under 20,000l. and the bulk of the personalty, with little more exception, is bequeathed exclusively to the testator's daughter, the Hon. Mary Howard, wife of the Hon. Fulk Greville Howard, who, together with their issue, are the devisees of the freehold estates in Staffordshire, Westmoreland, Norfolk, and Surrey. The mansion and lands called Ashted Park, in Surrey, descend, in default of issue male of the Hon. Mrs. Howard, to the Hon. Richard Bagot and his heirs, and in default thereof, to the Hon. Charles Bagot and his heirs.

CRITO asks who was F. H. who wrote a Life of Tillotson, reprinted by Wordsworth?-In answer to some of his other queries, Dr. John Prideaux, rector of Exeter College, resigned in 1642, and died in 1650, before the Catalogue of Oxford graduates commences; and Dr. Robert Abbot, master of Baliol College, is not in the Catalogue, as he was educated at Cambridge. Bishop Earle died Nov. 17, 1665, and Archbishop Wake, March 2, 1736-7.

AN ANTIQUARY Will find an Engraving of his Medal in Rapin or Perry.

A. C. R. informs us, that the Queen's Establishment, noticed in page 98 of the present volume, was removed on the death of Mrs. Pawsey, from Silsoe to Ampthill, where it still remains, under the care of Miss Pawsey, daughter of the above-mentioned lady.

The

BIOGRAPHICUS, in adverting to the fourth volume of the Biographical Peerage, where the royal titles of Earl of Tipperary, and Baron Arklow, are stated to be Irish Peerages, says there is evidently an error; as "the creations of these honours took place in 1801, after the Union, and are consequently peerages of the united king dom. His Majesty cannot confer an Irish peerage under the articles of Union, unless On the extinction of three peerages. Dukes of Cambridge and Sussex are the only ones of the royal family who do not enjoy Irish peerages, though they have titles derived from places in Ireland, as Earl of Tipperary, and Baron Arklow. The intelligent author, Sir E. Brydges, is also mistaken in supposing the Irish barony of Maynard to be enjoyed by Viscount Maynard. The barony of Maynard of Wicklow, in Ireland, granted in 1620, became extinct in 1775; as also the English barony of Maynard of Estaines, in Essex, granted 1627, in the person of Charles, sixth Baron Maynard, and first Viscount. The English honours of Viscount and Baron Maynard of Much Easton, granted in 1766, with a collateral remainder, devolved to Sir Charles Maynard, bart. now Visc. Maynard, descended from a younger brother of the first Baron Maynard of Estaines and Wicklow."

A Correspondent suggests, that housekeepers in the metropolis should this season adopt the custom of having Fish once or twice a week in their families, as long as the price continues moderate, for the sake of promoting the British Fisheries. This arrangement would give employment to thousands of British seamen; and its good effects would be sensibly felt, by reducing the price of every other article of human subsistence.

F. D. in addition to the inquiries respecting the Alexander family, inserted in our Number for February last, p. 98, would be thankful for any particulars, through the medium of our Miscellany, of the descent of the Rev. John Alexander, Minister of the Presbyterian Church in Plunket-street, Dublin, from 1730 till his death, Nov. 1, 1743. Mr. Alexander was a native of Londonderry, and nearest male heir to the earldom of Stirling, on the demise of Henry, fifth earl, in 1739. He was the author of an excellent work on Irenæus, and one of those men whose society was courted by the celebrated Dean Swift.

B. C. D. would be much obliged by being informed what issue Henry Baron Compton, who was born in the year 1572, left by his second wife, and who that second wife was: also, who were the descendants of the issue by that marriage. It is stated in an incorrect pedigree, that the above Baron Henry married for this second wife, Anne, daughter of Sir John Spencer (which Anne afterwards married Will. Stanley Lord Monteagle), and left issue by her Sir Henry Compton. The same pedigree further states, that this Sir Heury Compton married Cecilia daughter of Robert Sackville, Earl of Dorset, by whom he had issue, 1. William; 2. Colonel Henry Compton; 3. George; 4. Cecily, 1st married to Sir John Farmer, 2ndly to Lord Arundell of Wardour; 5. Mary wife of John Lumley, and mother of Richard first Earl of Scarborough; 6. Mary wife of Colonel Thomas Sackville.

A COUNTRY CLERGYMAN, who exerted himself among his Parishioners, and in. duced several of them to contribute to the Subscription set ou foot for the alleged purpose of erecting a Cenotaph to the memory of the late Princess Charlotte of Wales, wishes for some information on the subject, that he may be enabled to answer the question of "What is become of our Subscriptions, and when is the projected Cenotaph to appear?"

E. P. wishes to learn what was the origin and object of the Royal Military Club, established at Jamaica 1788? and whether it exists at present? He also inquires where any account can be seen of the origin, objects, and proceedings of the Society of Industry, founded Nov. 1783.

A Correspondent quotes the following passage from Blackstone, vol. II. Comment. 54. In one of our juvenile pastimes (the King I am, or Basalinda of Julius Pollux) the ceremonies and language of feodal homage are preserved with great exactness." He then inquires whether there is any modern account of this game, and if it now exists?
