VOL. LXXXIX. PART I.

P. 275. The Will of the late Dake of Hamilton and Brandon, was proved in the Prerogative Court in Doctors' Commons, on the 30th ult., by Sir Benjamin Hobhouse, Bart. and William Gosling, esq. of Fleet-street, banker, two of the surviving executors. A reserve being held over of probate to the Earl of Rochford and James Alexander Stewart M'Kenzie, esq. the other survivors;-Lord Webb John Seymour, deceased, was also appointed to the trust.

The first clause it contains is a direc tion for a plain funeral, and instead of

incurring the usual expenditure on such occasions, desires that the sum of 1501. may be given to the Asylum for the Blind at Liverpool, and a similar sum to the Dispensary there. The Palace at Hamiton in Scotland, with all the estates and properties there, are stated to have bee already made over to the Duke's eldest son, Lord Dutton, commonly called the Marquess of Douglas, with the reservation of a power for making certain charges thereon, for the benefit of the testator or his family; and the sum of 20,000l. to have been advanced to his Grace's daughter, Charlotte Duchess of Somerset, on

her

her marriage.

Seventy-six thousand

pounds (charged upon the estates in the county of Laucaster, in Feb. 1804, and vested in the hands of trustees for the purpose) are bequeathed to the other children of the testator, Lord Archibald Hamilton, an unmarried daughter, and the Countess of Dunmore. The latter is stated to have had already made over to her fifteen thousand, and the remainder is left to the others in trust for their lives, and to their children; except the sum of one thousand pounds each, which is left as an absolute bequest. - His racing cups, and all other plate, carriages, linen, and books, the testator has left to his daughter, the Duchess of Somerset; to all her daughters the sum of four thousand pounds each, and to her sons each, two thousand pounds, to be paid as they severally arrive at age, the interest thereon to accumulate in the mean time. -All the freehold and leasehold estates in Lancashire, purchased since the aboveImentioned settlement in 1804 (those of previous possession being probably entailed, the assignment to the Marquis of Douglas of the Scotch estates, having also stipulated that no further leases should be granted by the Duke in that country), are desired to be appraised and offered for sale, at the adjudged sum, to the Marquis; and in case of his refusing them, to any other purchaser; the produce, with that also of all the furniture, pictures, and other effects, to fall into the residue; the whole of which, converted into money, with all accumulations, is to be employed by the trustees for the space of 21 years in the purchase of freehold estates in Eng land and Wales, which are devised to the second son of the Duchess of Somerset, at 21; and for default of such, to the second and other sons in snccession, excepting always any such son as shall, by virtue of the will of the late Duke of Somerset, become entitled to his freehold estates; and, failing of all such sons, to the Duke of Somerset (the husband of the testator's daughter), and his heirs for ever.-The legacies to the younger children are stated to be in lieu of the provision made for them by their father's marriage settlement; namely, the sum of six thousand pounds, to be equally divided between them. One hundred pounds each is given to the executors; there are two codicils; one a mere memorandum; the other be quests chiefly to servants. The personal is sworn under 90,0001.

VOL. LXXXIX. PART II. P. 378. Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, of the United States Navy, was dispatched by his Government with the ship of war John Adams, and schooner Nonsuch, on a mission to Angostura, the seat of the Insurgent Government, on the Main.

He was not, as he has been stated, a native of Ireland. His great great grandfather, Edmund Perry, was born in Devonshire, England, and was one of the earliest settlers of the colony of Massachusetts. He afterwards removed to Rhode Island, on account of his religious opinions (having no doubt adopted the sentiments of the Quakers). He had three sous, Samuel, James, and Benjamin, who inherited the same religious principles as their father. Benjamin, the great grandfather, was born in 1673. Freeman, his youngest son by a second marriage, was born in South Kingston, on the 2d day of February 1732; and in 1756 married the daughter of Oliver Hazard, esq. brother to the Hon. George Hazard, Lieut.-Governor of the then colony of Rhode Island. The grandfather, Freeman Perry, was for many years Clerk of the Court, Member of the Legislature, Judge, &c. in his na tive State, the duties of which various offices he discharged with great credit and ability. He died at South Kingston, in October 1813, in his 82d year. Christopher Raymond Perry, the father, was boru December 4, 1761. Notwithstanding his youth, at the commencement of the American Revolution, he took a very active part, and was often found fighting, both by land and sea, in the service of his country, In October, 1784, he was married to Sarah Alexander, a lady born in Ireland, but of Scotch extraction, descended on the maternal side from the famous Wallace, so celebrated in the annals of Scotland; a name which Oliver would have borne, had it not been changed to Hazard, upon the death of a beloved uncle.

P. 463. The late Rev. Dr. Cyril Jackson was so dignified by erudition and sa gacity, and so justly revered for the munificent temper of his heart, and the judicious discrimination with which that munificence was dispensed, that many of our readers, we are persuaded, will be gratified in reading the following testimonies, paid, whilst he was yet living, to the various merits of the Dean of Christ Church, by some of the more enlightened of his contemporaries :

The learned Dr. Parr, in the Notes to his Spital Sermon, published in 1800, after passing a handsome compliment on the Society of Ch. Ch. proceeds, in this mauner, to speak of its Dean :-" Long have I thought, and often have I said, that the highest station in our Ecclesiastical' Establishment would not be more than an adequate recompence for the person who now presides over this College. Upon petty and dubious questions of criticism I may not always have the happiness to agree with that celebrated man. But I know, that with magnanimity enough to refuse two Bishopricks, he has qualifications chow

of head and heart to adorn the Primacy of all England, and to protect all the substantial interests of the English Church."See Spital Sermon, &c. pag. 118.

The same illustrious Scholar, in the spirit of that propensity for liberal commendation which abounds in all his writings, makes honourable mention also, in another publication, of the "sagacity and good humour" of the late Dean. See a Sequel to a printed paper, &c. pag. 208.

There never was a man, who, from his own throne of supremacy, as a restoring Editor and a conjectural critic, looked down with a more scornful fastidiousness on the labours of other Scholars, than the late professor Porson; yet it is no less certain that he estimated at a high price the judgment of Dr. Cyril Jackson, in this perilous department of Literature.-See Mr. Kidd's Edition of Porson's Tracts, &c. 'pag. 574.

The author of the Pursuits of Literature in pag. 77, 14th edit. of that far-famed publication, speaks of him with just commendation, as a "literary god," and adds, that he was "exemplary for his diligence and his learning."

Amid many rude assaults and most illiberal sneers directed against the Universities in the Liberal Education of Dr. Vicessimus Knox, he yet felt himself compelled by the force of truth, and the obligations of candour, to admit that "Christ Church College had become, under a Jackson, a house of excellent discipline."-Vol. 2, pag. 141.

And a far superior scholar, who wrote, a few years ago, with a far different aim, on the same subject of the Universities,

having occasion to mention the name and authority of Dr. Jackson, represents him as "one who had drank largely at the fountain of modern Science as well as of ancient Learning; who lately shone a bright example among us, as the warm friend to merit of every kind; who never ceased to encourage, to direct, and to assist those around him in every honourable pursuit; and who is now wisely gone to enjoy the evening of life in repose, sweetened by the remembrance of having spent the day in useful and strenuous exertion." -See the Provost of Oriel's first Reply to the Calumnies of the Edinburgh Review, pag. 162.

The probate of the will of the late Admiral Sir Richard Onstow, passed under Seal of the Prerogative Court, on the 24th ult. to the Rev. G. W. Onslow, Clerk, of Ripley, in Surrey, the acting executor. It is directed, that his funeral expences may not exceed the sum of 20%. to prevent any unnecessary ostentation; and it is remarked, that the "funeral of a brave and honest sailor costs a much less sum:" his interment to take place in whatever parish he might happen to die. Directions are given for an ample detail, on a plain marble tablet, of his services in the navy, particularly of his conduct in the fight off Camperdown, in October 1797, and of the several national testimonies with which he was honoured on that occasion; these are bequeathed to his sons and their descendants, as they may successively succeed to his title, as heir-looms. His property is left almost wholly to Lady Onslow.
