Mr. Sackville Lane Fox, together with the whole of his personal property; and it is said that, in consequence, the present Duke will be obliged to sell Hornby Castle, the only unentailed portion of the family estates.

P. 224.-At a Meeting of the Friends of the late Zachary Macaulay, Esq. held on the 30th of July, 1838, it was unanimously Resolved, "That the eminent services rendered by the late Zachary Macaulay, by the long and disinterested zeal with which he devoted his talents, his time, and all the powers of his wellinformed mind, to objects of benevolence and utility, and more especially to the abolition of the Slave Trade, and to the important cause of Negro Emancipation, demand a public testimony that may record his worth as a bright example for future generations, and prove the grateful esteem in which he was held by his contemporaries. That, with this view, a Subscription be raised to erect a Monument to his memory in Westminster Abbey." A Committee was appointed to conduct the subscription, and make the necessary arrangements, including the Marquis of Northampton, Earl Fitzwilliam, Earl Grey, K. G., Earl of Caledon, Earl Jermyn, Lords Calthorpe, Teignmouth, Skelmersdale, Brougham, Denman, Glenelg, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Alexander Johnston, Sir R. H. Inglis, T. F.

P. 337.-The Rev. John Gardiner, D.D., who was formerly Curate of St. Mary Magdalen, Taunton, for many years, has left a legacy of 100 guineas, in trust, towards painting an altar-piece for the chancel of that church, (the subject to be taken from the 20th chapter of St. John, verse 1, or from the 11th to the 18th thereof,) provided the said altarpiece shall be finished and put up in its place within two years after formal notice shall have been given by the executor to the vicar of the parish.

Ibid. The will of Lieut.-Col. Constable, formerly of the Bengal Artillery, and late of Park-crescent, has been proved in Doctors' Commons, by Sir Henry Richardson and Capt. Murray, probate being reserved for Wm. Brown Constable, esq. the other executor. Personalty sworn under £100,000. The colonel was a brave and meritorious officer, and was highly respected by his numerous friends. He served in the Mahratta war, under Lord Lake, and was present at Ally

Ghur, Delhi, Laswarie, and Agra, where he was seriously wounded and left senseless on the field. He was the nephew of George Constable, the original from whom Sir Walter Scott drew his character of "The Antiquary." To the family of his daughter, Mrs. Nicoll, he has left £40,000 three per cent. Consols; to his granddaughter, Maria Antoinetta Ísabella Constable, all his India and Bank Stock. After several minor legacies, among which is £500 to the Infirmary of Dundee (his native place), £300 to Lady Richardson, £200 to Mrs. Colonel Nesbitt, £150 to Mrs. Col. Walker, and £200 to Mrs. Hume (of Bath), he bequeathed the residue to his two sisters, Barbara and Christian Constable. The family estate of Cragie, in accordance with the will of the "Antiquary," descends to William Brown, esq. who has assumed the name and arms of Constable, and who has recently united himself to the Lady Mary Erskine, eldest daughter of the Earl of Buchan.

P. 445. The will of the late Robert Holford, Esg. has passed under the seal of the Prerogative Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury. It is in the handwriting of the testator, who bequeaths the whole of his immense and princely fortune (with the exception of 5007. which is left to the executor), amounting to upwards of 1,000,000l. exclusive of the freehold, leasehold, and copyhold estates of great value (including the magnificent mansion at the Isle of Wight), in different counties, to his nephew, Mr. Holford. The stamp on the probate was 15,0007. and the further duty about 30,0001. more, making a total payment to the government of a sum of 45,0007. out of a single estate. It is an extraordinary fact, that the will is contained on one side of a sheet of letter paper. With the exception of the late Mr. Rothschild and Mr. Rundell (of the firm of Rundell, Bridge, and Rundell, goldsmiths, of Ludgate-hill), the stamp duty upon the upper value (a million) is seldom called into operation, 15,0001. being the highest probate duty.
