We are much obliged to our good Friend at Paris, JOHN LE CHEVALIER, for the curious Paper which he has sent, and for those he kindly promises. GULIELMUS, whom we highly respect, has rightly apprehended our motives. The signature of R. B. WHELER should have been added to the communication, p. 208, respecting Shakspeare's Family. The Continuation of the "Tour in the Netherlands," in our next; with a Letter of HOWARD the Philanthropist, &c. &c. A. E. L. observes that " In an Act of Parliament, 17th Geo. II. cap. 5, commonly called "The Vagrant Act," a proviso is inserted, in order to prevent the operation of that Act from extending to prejudice or affect the Heirs or Assigns of John Dutton of Dutton, co. Chester, Esq. deceased, touching any liberty, privilege, or authority, which they had or ought to use within the County Palatine of Chester, and County of Chester, by reason of any ancient Charters of any Kings of this Land, or of any prescription, usage, or title whatsoever." He adds, "I un derstand that the Family of the Duttons (who were the Lords of the Manor of that name) used annually to hold a Court at Chester on Midsummer-day for the purpose of granting Licences to Minstrels to play in that County; and probably some of your numerous Correspondents can state the particulars or substance of the Charters alluded to, and whether the privileges granted by them are still exercised, and by whom." In answer to a Correspondent, in p. 160, G. says, "I believe the Italian Poet Petrarch to be the author of the lines, Inveni Portum, &c. or at least some contemporary: he lived in the middle of the 14th century. The lines are engraved upon his Tomb, but not exactly as quoted by Le Sage, who has altered them a little. On the Tomb they were as follows: Inveni requiem: Spes et fortuna valete, Nil mihi vobiscum est: ludite nunc alios. I first saw them, when a Schoolboy, in reading Gil Blas. I then attempted a Translation, which, although creditable for a boy, I think meanly of now. The Greek I suspect to be a version of Goldsmith's own. I have not Petrarch's Works by me to seek for them: he probably wrote them, and they are put on his tomb, in the same manner as is done on our Gay's, "Life is a jest, &c." PALATINUS, having read the Police Report with considerable interest, begs to call the attention of the Publick and the ' Police Committee to two points, as it strikes him, of great importance, hardly touched upon in the Report: the one is, the abolition of the Saloons at the Public Theatres in this Metropolis, and the restraining Women of the Town from obtruding themselves into all parts of the Boxes; and the other is, the necessity of having the performances finished by 10, or a little after, every night. The morals of the Metropolis would, he is persuaded, be greatly improved by these regulations. METEOROLOGICAL TABLE for September, 1816. By W. CARY, Strand. Height of Fahrenheit's Thermometer.

The hours of study were employed in reading the Bible, in learning his Grammar, termination. That laudable curio- in translating Esop's Fables from sity may find some satisfaction in Latin into English, and the Psalms the following little Memoir, which, from English into Latin, in reading though a very imperfect outline of a portion of the Universal History, the character it attempts to exhibit, in repeating a short Poem, and in is nevertheless grounded on opporother useful occupations. He soon tunities of observation and know- discovered symptoms of a solid unledge of no ordinary kind, and such derstanding, of a retentive memory, as nothing but the strictest habits of and of a mind very susceptible of intimacy can afford; and, if it is sub-cultivation and useful improvement; ject to the charge of partiality, it is only intended for that class of Readers who are inclined to allow that a partial Friend may be an honest Chronicler; and that it was impossible to kuow the subject of this Memoir and not be partial to him. The Duke of Dorset was born at Knole, Nov. 15, 1793. He came to the title before he was six years old. His seventh year wanted more than three months of its close when he was put under the care of a private tutor, a clergyman, who lived in the family with him, and who was in fact at that period as much his playfellow as his preceptor, attending him constantly in hours of recreation as well as those of study. He was able to read and write before this connection commenced. Being designed for Westminster school, he began his classical education upon that system, and continued in it for more than a twelvemonth, when it was determined to send him to Harrow. In this early more perhaps inclined to patient inquiry and accurate information, than remarkable for quick apprehension; more distinguished for good judg ment than for warm conceptions and bright fancies. In Jan. 1802, he was entered at Harrow, being then just turned of eight years old, and never was satchel carried by a finer or sweeter boy, either as to person or disposition; for, though at this period he was extremely shy, yet his was a shyness that evidently proceeded from sheer diffidence, not from pride, and was in time entirely rubbed off by an intercourse with other boys. The system of education in a public school is too well known to need a particular description. The Duke went through the usual course of discipline and instruction just like any other boy, except that he lodged in his private tutor's apartments, and not in a boarding-house, and always had the advantage of his assistance, so that of all |
