In the 71st year of her age, Lady Wilson, of Charlton House, Kent, relict of the late General Sir Thomas - Spencer Wilson, bart.; much regretted by her children, a numerous circle of friends, and most particularly by the poor and unfortunate of all descriptions. Her charities were so extensive, that besides a private and regular intercourse which she kept with the afflicted and needy, her name, as a subscriber, is to be found in nearly all the charitable establishments of London and its vicinity. Her private virtues were all implanted in a strong and wellregulated understanding, which formed the pre-eminent features of her character. She was pious without bigotry, exemplary without ostentation, strict in the observance of all her moral duties, but indulgent, forbearing, and patient towards others. In knowledge and sciences, she was superior to most of her own sex; and her memory was so extraordinary, that from a valuable museum which she had collected, and which consisted of several thousand specimens in all the different branches of natural philosophy, there was not one single article which she could not immediately name scientifically. For many years she constantly travelled all over England and Scotland, and brought in her journeys a successive and valuable accession to her museum, which she has now left to Mrs. Trevillian, her daughter, with a clause that if she, or her descendants after her, should ever sell part or the whole, the produce of that part, or of the whole, is to be given to different charitable establishments mentioned in her will. She is succeeded in her large fortune by her son, Sir Thomas-Marion Wilson, a gene

rous, hearty, and undissembled gentleman, who prefers the comforts of private life to dancing attendance at court, where his fortune, his relations, and friends, would easily introduce him. The estates and all the freehold property being entailed on Sir Thomas, devolve into his hands; and his mother has divided her personal property between him and his three sisters, Lady Arden, Lady Carr, and Mrs. Trevillian; the latter, being a great favourite with her mother, has been made residuary legatee, to the great disappointment of many persons who expected that that favour would have been conferred upon the son. For these two years, Lady Wilson has been suffering under a rapid decline of health; and for the last three months, she was subject to frequent spasms of the most excruciating nature, which she bore with perfect resignation; and to her last moments she was perfectly sensible, and requested Mrs. Stride, a person of great piety and knowledge, who with her sister had constantly attended her Ladyship during her illness, to read to her from the Bible, which office she was performing when Lady Wilson expired, after pronouncing these words: O Lord! O Lord! O Lord!

Aug. 19. At her mother's apartments in Bromley College, aged 22, Miss Harriet-Catherine Strong, one of the daughters of the late Rev. Mr. Strong, of ....... near Canterbury. Of amiable disposition, unfeigned piety, and cultivated mind, she acquired the regard of her relatives, and the esteem of her friends-to these her memory will be dear, but their concern for their loss will be consoled by the assurance that she is gone to an inheritance to which she invites them to follow!

To our Friend of Lincoln's Inn, who questions the accuracy of styling, p. 99, a late excellent Correspondent Mr. Justice Hardinge, we can only give the worthy Judge's own words: "The title which is due to me, as Chief Justice, or Senior Judge, is the following, "His Majesty's Justice, &c. &c." See the "Literary Anecdotes," vol. VIII. p. 516. INDAGATOR (of Dublin) complains of a mutilated Edition of "The Harleian Miscellany;" but with this we have not the least concern. If he goes to a cheap shop, he must abide the consequence.

"The Letter of CYPRIANUS in Part I. p. 396, is calculated (S. G. observes) not only to be useful to Candidates for Holy Orders, but may be extensively so to persons in general; and under this impression I would recommend its publication as a tract. I know of one instance of its usefulness."'.

G. H. W. referring to Part I. p. 644, says, "Who was the Hon. N. Moore, and query, what right to that designation? There are but two noble families of the surname of Moore, viz. the Marquis of Drogheda, and the Earl of Mount Casheil. Mr. N. Moore does not appear to be related to either family."

A SUBSCRIBER to Dr. Evans's Poem of "THE BEES," announced to be completed in four Books, three of which are before the publick, wishes to be informed, when the FOURTH will make its appearance, as it is nearly five years since the third Book was published.

S. G. observes, that," In looking over some Memoranda, he found the following avowal of Robert Owen, Esq. the proposer of a new plan for employing the lower classes: I know that all mankind will think ere long as I do now, respecting the inutility and grievous evil of Faith; for with me this subject has long been known as a Science, which at pleasure. I can easily force upon the World.' See Times,' Sept. 26, 1817."

Many of our Countrymen travelling in France, having (as we are informed) with a laudable feeling of veneration for the heroic deeds of our Ancestors, lately visited the Plains of Agincourt and Cressy; it will give us much pleasure to be the medium for conveying to the publick any observations connected with those subjects.

The view and description of Witham Church shall be used soon. C. B's Remarks on the British Poets; "Remarks on recent Alterations at Fountains Abbey" A. L.'s Journal of a Tour in Italy; HT; MUSEUS, Antiquarius, &c, &c.

The following observations and cor rections are one of the latest communications of an old and highly respected Correspondent, to whose memory a slight tribute is paid in our Obituary for the present month.

"A FRIEND TO ACCURACY, in pursuance of the wish of Clericus, as expressed in last month's (July) Magazine, p. 38, informs him, that the author of the book entitled, "An Attempt to explain the Words Reason, Substance, &c. by a Presbyter of the Church of England,” which was first published in 1766, and reached a third edition in 1767, was William Robertson, D. D. who died in 1783, Master of the Free Grammar School at Wolverhampton, and of whom a particular account may be seen in Gent. Mag. vol. XXXVIII. p. 20. LIII. pp. 453, 745-750, with his portrait. This work being so erroneously classed in the Catafogue of Dr. Gosset's Library must, it is presumed, have arisen from some unaccountable oversight in the Compiler. It excited considerable attention at the time of its publication, and for some years after.

"VOL. LXXXVII. PART I. P. 391, b. line 16 from the bottom, for 1816, read 1817.

Ibid. b. line 27, read Clenchwarton. 585, line 39, Thomas Salmon died in 1743,' is certainly erroneous. His Proposals for publishing The Ancient and Present State of the British Isles,' in 1 vol. folio, as an addition to bis

Universal Traveller,' are dated in 1755, and it is believed he died in the same year.
