tables, and the attendants at them, as well as affording room for those who may have to pass to the other tables. The Court in which the Lord Chancellor was wont to sit during term-time no longer exists: the flooring, the benches, the seat of equity, are all gone. The antique figures are covered over with canvass; andwill speedily take their stations at the side of the great window. The Court of King's Bench (the judges of this court now continuing to sit in the Exchequer) is now begun to be removed; and the rooms behind these courts are undergoing extensive alterations, as they are to be converted into robing and retiring rooms. The extensive frame-work which is erected within the Hall, &c. is prepared at large premises in the Horseferry-road (Mr. Copeland's); and it is brought ready to be fixed, regularly jointed and properly marked. The passing and repassing of the immense number of men engaged in such work gave rise to the rumour that the men had been discharged and the works suspended. The facts are as here related.

In Westminster Abbey, similar progress attends the proceedings. The platform is raised along the nave; the galleries are being erected in the ailes; and the elevated stations occupying the former scene of the choir and altar, and where the Coronation will take place, are formed, and come full upon the sight as the spectator enters the grand West door.

In Cotton-garden (the large open space between the House of Lords and the Thames, and approached by the passage under the Piazza) are proceeding some works of a different character, but not less essential to the completion of the Coronation banquet and festivities. Here are being built a series of kitchens, &c.; there are to be twenty rooms for the preparation of the several courses and entertainments connected with the dinner, banquet, and concluding festivities. In these rooms and kitchens all the requisite preparations will be made; and there is a passage leading to the southern window of the Hall which will enable the several courses &c. to be forwarded with great facility and rapidity. There will be room, should so many be required, for two hundred persons, consisting of cooks, confectioners, and their attendants. The spot is well adapted for the purpose: it is near the Hall, and at the same time completely separated from it.

The Right Hon. Henry Grattan died on Sunday night, June 4, in Baker-street. The event had been for some time expected with mournful anxiety by his family, the whole of whom watched, with the tenderest solicitude, the death-bed of this distinguished character. For the last five months Mr. Grattan laboured under a severe dropsical affliction in the chest, which, though attended with acute pain, he bore with the utmost resignation. The disorder had attained so oppressive a height, that Mr. Grattan, for the last three months, was obliged to seek rest in a sitting-posture; any attempt to sleep in any other manner, brought on an asthmatic affection, which immediately threatened fatal consequences. Mr. Grattan, anticipating the fatal result of his disorder, adopted, contrary to the advice of his friends, the determination of making one more effort in that cause which he so long and strenuously maintained, from a conviction of its justice and policy. To use his own emphatic words, in reply to the address of the Catholics of Ireland, presented to him in Dublin not many days ago, he owed his last breath to his country."

On Friday, June 14, he was interred in Westminster Abbey, with all the solemn pomp suitable to the occasion. The pall was supported by the Dukes of Norfolk and Wellington, Lord Holland, Lord William Fitzgerald, Earl of Harrowby, Marquis of Downshire, Earl of Donoughmore, and Lord Castlereagh. Among the mourners, besides the afflicted relatives of Mr. Grattan, were His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, the Marquis Wellesley, Lord Erskine, Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, the Duke of Devonshire, the Marquis of Lansdown, the Marquis Conyngham, Earl of Surrey, Earls Cowper, Spencer, Darnley, and Rosslyn, Sir John Doyle, Sir Nicholas Colthurst, and many other distinguished commoners.

Then followed the Lords, the House of Commons, and Gentlemen of every part of the empire, amounting altogether to upwards of five hundred.

The whole of the distinguished characters who compose that most respectable body, the English Catholic Board, were also in the procession, and a number of other gentlemen of that profession.

The tomb lies nearly between the spot of earth which incloses all that was mortal of Fox and Pitt. It adjoins the grave of the great Lord Chatham, and is surrounded by the tombs of Lord Mansfield, and other eminent public characters. The foot of Mr. Grattan's coffin nearly touched that of Mr. Fox. It is exactly the spot, out of his own country, which we should imagine Mr. Grattan would have selected for his tomb.

He sleeps amid the most illustrious Statesmen that have adorned the modern annals of this country, and the highest compliment that could be paid him here was to assign him such a place Convinced as weare of the impolicy of conceding the claims which be advocated, we readily admit the sincerity and disinterestedness of his public conduct It is the praise of Grattan, and no man needs desire a nobler epitaph, that, with powers supremely fitted to influence the multitude, he restrained himself from popu, lar excitement. His place was in the House of Commons. There he laboured, and there he lived. It was full of his trophies. He was its true architect. It might have been said of him, “Si monumentum ejus quæras, circumspice." And for this he had his reward. The long succession of demagogues, who each misled the public mind, and who, for the time, were borne above him, perished like the foam when the storm is done. Grattan's name always rose with the falling of the surge, and in the returned calmness and sunshine of the great, popular expanse, his firm renown stood up like a rock upon the bosom of the ocean. 98

The chief instrument of those successes was his eloquence. It had the first mark of genius, originality. But Grattan is defrauded of his highest praise, if his integrity is forgotten. His powers might have com manded all that ambition covets. He was impregnable to place and title. He refused all honours and emoluments, even when they were offered by hands which he ho noured. He declared himself to be the purchased servant of the country, and to be incapable of adopting another master. But he is now gathered to the great repository of the human race, and belongs to the infinite assemblage of all tongues, and ages, and na! tions that have been. The virtues of the dead patriot become the property of man+ kind. The small seed is buried in the earth, but from it springs the mighty tree gathering the dews of heaven in its branches, and covering the multitude with its shade. e.

SIR JOSEPH BANKSÍ Í utsi Soon after 8 o'clock this morning, May 19, died, at his house in Soho-square, the venerable President of the Royal Society, the Right Hon. Sir Joseph Banks, G. C. B., &c. The loss to Science by the demise of this excellent man and liberal patron will be long and severely felt. Sir Joseph had been for a long time labouring under a most dis tressing illness; for some years he had been deprived of the use of his lower extremities, and rendered so feeble as to be lifted from his room to his carriage. He possessed à princely fortune, of which he assigned a large portion to the encouragement of Science, particularly Natural History; private and public charities, and domestic hos pitality. In our next Number we purpose giving a copious Memoir of this distinguished character, accompanied by a Portrait."

1992 SUORARENOR HAREWOOD. aquila H The probate of the will of the late Right Hon. Henry Earl of Harewood, Viscount Lascelles, and Baron Harewood, passed under the seal of the Prerogative Court in Doctors Commons, 19th May; the personal estate, within the province of the Archbishop of Canterbury, being sworn under 250,000l. The grant was made to the present Earl (late Henry Viscount Lascelles), the son and sole executor. Considerable testamentary provisions are made, in pursuance of powers created for that and other purposes, by a trust deed, bearing date 2d May, 1920; among which are, 10,000l. to Lord Lascelles; 40,000l. to the children of Lady Frances Douglas, (except an eldest son or daughter, who may succeed to certain entailed estates, and except also the Countess of Aberdeen, whom the testator considers well provided for by marriage.) To his daughter, Lady Mary Anne Yorke, 1000l. per annum for life, one half of which to be devoted to the support and maintenance of her children; to whom also is given the sum of 20,000l. in equal shares, on their arrival at 21, or marriage. Certain freehold estates in the county of York are devised to Lord Lascelles; as are also others in the islands of Jamaica, Barbadoes, Grenada, &c.; but upon the same trusts and limitations as they were devised to the testator by the late Edwin, Lord Harewood, the provisions of whose will are directed to be fulfilled. The freehold mansion in Hanover-square, purchased by the testator of the Duke of Roxburgh; and that also in Hanover-square, purchased of Mr. Wellesley Pole, and in the occupation of Lord Lascelles, are given to his Lordship for life, and ultimately according to the trusts provided in the deed of May 1820. The furniture, books, plate, pictures, jewels, &c. in these houses, are to remain as heir-looms. The freehold house in Hanover-square, purchased of the executors of Sir J. Earle, and that at Bootham, in the suburbs of the city of York, are devised to Lord Lascelles absolutely, who is also to have all household furniture (not left as heir-looms,) carriages, wines, &c. and live and dead stock. Miss Emily Hall, the niece of the late Countess, has legacies to the amount of 6,000l. and upwards, besides an annuity; and her constant attentions to her Ladyship in her last illness are alluded to with grateful acknowledgments. Legacies to servants are large and numerous, all of the upper class having about 50l. per annum, besides immediate bequests. The residue is directed to be applied to the provisions of the above-mentioned deed, Lord Lascelles first taking to his own use the sum of 90,000l. and his children 500l. each, the testator not making them a larger, provision, as their father will have full powers for that purpose by the trustdeed of May 1820. This will is dated 13th July, 1819. Nes

LORD SHERBORNE.

His

Never within the memory of man has death swept with a more devastating and unsparing hand amongst the noble houses of our land, than within the last two years; the rich and powerful have been humbled amidst the very plenitude of earthly enjoyment, and silently laid in the lowly place of rest, with as unregarding a sweep as has thinned the untitled and undistinguished of our race. But amidst them all, there is none whose death will be more truly lamented than that of Lord Sherborne. This mournful event took place on Monday evening, May 22, at eight o'clock. lordship had been seriously indisposed for some time past, but, we believe, no idea of immediate danger was entertained. Distinguished through a long and honourable life by the exercise of every generous and noble quality that could adorn the heart of man→→→ Lord Sherborne enjoyed, in unbounded good will, the respect, the esteem, and the affectionate regard of all to whom the many excellent traits of his nature were known. Possessing an extensive property, his first pride was the character with which the gra titude of his tenantry invested him; and to be known as “ a good landlord," was to him the chief gratification derived from his pos→ sessions. When the honours of this world have passed away, and are forgotten, the record of his Christian zeal, of his piety, and of his benevolence, will be greeted with a sacred enthusiasm, and a mournful reverence inseparable from the memory of worth.-James Dutton, Lord Sherborne, Baron of Sherborne, co. Gloucester, was born in October 1744, and was consequently in his 76th year. His lordship was married July 7, 1774, to Mary, daughter of Wenman Robert Coke, of Longford, in Derbyshire, esq. by whom he had issue John, the present Lord Sherborne, married to the Hon.

LIEUT.-COL. SALKELD.

In Abbey-street, Carlisle, on Wednesday May 24, died Lieut.-colonel Salkeld, aged 59 years, one of his majesty's justices of the peace for the county of Cumberland, and the predecessor of Wilfrid Lawson, esq. in the important office of high sheriff of the county. Lieut.-col. Salkeld served between 20 and 30 years in the Hon. East India Company's service, on the Bengal establishment, universally esteemed and respected by all ranks, for his integrity, urbanity, and professional abilities in different departments; closing with the high official situation of quarter-master general to the Bengal army. During the arduous and successful campaign

against the Mahrattas, &c. in 1803 and 1804, he conducted the army under the personal orders of the commander-in-chief, Lord Lake, with an intelligent activity, ability, and discrimination, that merited general confidence, and called forth the repeated public acknowledgments of that distinguished commander.-Possessing a high sense of honour, a well-cultivated mindy and sound judgment, his conduct as a magistrate was marked by an undeviating uprightness. As high sheriff, he was solicitous to maintain a due degree of splendour, combined with that frank hospitality, peculiar to the military man and English gentleman. Though seldom the proposer of any new schemes, or public measures, whenever an opportunity presented itself, of carrying on or supporting any plan of general utility, he was never the last to lend a helping hand. 34
