L. remarks, "In reference to the observations of our Correspondent in p. 415, on the jug found in Ireland, it may be noted that the brown ware jugs or pitchers used in the north of Scotland have a head with a flowing beard in the fore part, from which they are always denominated greybeards.' The traditional account which I have heard of this ornament is, that it originated with the Dutch, who meant it to represent the Duke d'Alva, and some lines are preserved concerning it : 'The Duke de Alva's beard and face The Dutch do on their pitchers place, Intending it for a disgrace,' &c." new particulars respecting Collins or hie family.

For the remarks on the Highland Costume, in p. 445, as represented on his Majesty's picture by Mr. Wilkie, we were indebted to Mr. James Logan, who has paid much attention to these matters; and who is now engaged on a work on the Celts, &c. We shall be happy to continue to receive: the communications of A.C.C.; but we cannot take the liberty he suggests with the articles of our other Correspondents. We must see Mr. Knott's Sermon, and Mr. Bree's book, before we can give any opinion. Bridgman's epitaph in Kimmersley Church We beg to inform J. D. that Bishop has been published in Ormerod's History of Cheshire. J. J. W. says, "When Dr. Parr heard Fox in the House of Commons, he exclaim C. L. observes, "In vol. xcvIII. i. 210, your Correspondent L. W. speaking of the Tipping family, asks what became of Dame Mary Tipping, daughter of Sir John Lear of Lyndridge, Devon, after the death of Sir Thomas her husband?' She subsequently married a Mr. John Comyns of Wood in the parish of Bishopsteignton (in which pa rish Lyndridge is situate), and I have no doubt was buried there; but I cannot posi tively assert the latter fact; nor do I know if she left any issue of that second marriage." With regard to the wife of the late Sired, Had I followed any other profession, I Eliab Harvey, after what we stated last might have been sitting by the side of that illustrious statesman; I should have had all month, another correspondent, still increhis powers of argument,-all Erskine's elodulous, has sent a repetition of the assertion that the late Marchioness of Bucking Parriana, vol. 1. p. 498.)

The Margravine gives an account in p. 2, of all her mother's children by the Earl of Berkeley, and says she "produced at one birth three children, females, who were born at Berkeley Castle, but lived only a few hours after being christened." The only Lady Louisa Berkeley of that generation was one of these. Again, in p. 10, the Margravine mentions her mother's second marriage to Earl Nugent, and adds, "by whom she had two daughters." And again, in p. 48, "At one of these balls, I saw my father-in-law [stepfather], and told him I had named my Two bride-maids, and they were my young sisters." As the Margravine was herself the youngest daughter of Lord Berkeley, these were of course her mother's two daughters by Lord Nugent, and of these Lady Louisa Harvey was one. -The other remarks of L. shall be attended to hereafter.

THE melancholy duty at length devolves upon us of recording the death of our revered, illustrious, and highly accomplished monarch George the Fourth, who, after a long and painful illness, breathed his last, at the Palace of Windsor, on Saturday the 26th inst. at a quarter past three o'clock in the morning. The first bulletin, announcing his Majesty's indisposition, was issued on the 18th of April; and the late bulletins, for some weeks past, had in some degree prepared us for the present afflicting event. The admission that his Majesty was labouring under considerable langour and debility, in consequence of cough and expectoration, was considered by those acquainted with the nature of the disease as an alarming symptom. The remedies which were employed by the attendant physicians had for some time the effect of controlling but not of averting the painful progress of the disease. The cough which latterly came on appeared to have been chiefly dependent upon the impeded flow of blood through the left side of the heart, by which it was thrown back upon the lungs, so as to produce congestion. Considerable portions of the lungs were consolidated, from the previous attacks of inflammation with which his Majesty had repeatedly been afflicted, and hence any additional affection added greatly to the difficulty with which the respiratory organs performed their functions. More lately the expectoration had been mixed with blood. On Thursday and Friday, excepting only when painfully suffering from paroxysms of coughing and expectoration, the Royal sufferer remained in a state of absolute stupor, but apparently free from bodily pain, About the middle of Friday the at tendant physicians perceived that their Royal patient was rapidly sinking, and they forwarded the intelligence to the Duke of Wellington by express. His Grace immediately communicated with his colleagues, and as the demise of the Crown might from that communication have been expected some hours before it did occur, it was determined to take the necessary steps to prevent the Commons making a House, which was accordingly effected. At ten o'clock on Friday night his Majesty appeared drowsy. The physicians, Sir Henry Halford and Sir Matthew Tierney, and Mr. Brodie, the surgeon in attendance, withdrew for the purpose of allowing his Majesty to enjoy that relief from pain which sleep invariably brings. His Majesty slept at intervals, and without any particular variation, so as to make it necessary to call the physicians, till about three o'clock on Saturday morning, when he awoke, and expressed a wish to be raised up. The attendants, while preparing to raise his Majesty, perceived that a materialchange had taken place in his whole appearance, and apprehending the most fatal and immediate consequences, they instantly summoned the medical attendants into the chamber of their Sovereign. But the painful event that was about to happen was too apparent. After languishing, without pain, for about ten minutes, nature became completely exhausted, and his Majesty expired. The melancholy intelligence was, of course, forwarded to ministers, and the Duke of Wellington immediately left London for Windsor Castle, from whence, after having given the necessary instructions, he proceeded to Bushy Park, for the purpose of communicating the painful event to the Duke of Clarence, now his Most Grácious Majesty King William the Fourth, and to do homage to the new Sovereign of this mighty empire. A Thus terminated, in the 68th year of his age, the reign of George the |
