Males [April, ADDITIONS TO OBITUARY. VOL. XCII. i. 561, 648.-A monument has been erected by the dowager Marchioness of Hertford to the memo y of the late Marquis, in the church of Alcester. It attracts universal admiration from its beauty of de sign and excellence of workmanship. It is Marquis, with the first finger of the left composed of a single recumbent figure of the hand between the opened leaves of a book, the right hand reclining on the body, and the head raised in the act of meditation. The perfect ease and composure of the figure, and the serene thoughtfulness impressed on the countenance, with the exquisite arrangements of the drapery, armorial bearings, &c., are in the happiest manner of Chantrey, and sustain the high name which he has obtained in his art. The statue is enclosed, or rather partly enshrined in a recessed arch of the richest and most picturesque Gothic. The inscription is as fol lows: "To the memory of her justly and deeply lamented husband, Francis Ingram Seymour Conway, Marquis and Earl of Hertford, Earl of Yarmouth, Viscount Beauchamp, Baron Conway of Ragley and Killultagh, Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, and Lord Lieutenant of the county of Warwick, Isabella Ann Ingram, Marchioness of Hertford, has dedicated this monument. He was born February 1743, and died June 1822." BILL OF MORTALITY, from Mar. 25, to April 21, 1829. 667 } Males 1293 P'uried.

ARNULL, Stock Broker, Bank-buildings, Cornhill, late RICHARDSON, GOODLUCK, and Co. J. B. NICHOLS AND SON, 25, PARLIAMENT-STREET. MINOR CORRESPONDENCE. Our kind Correspondent J. A. R. (of Springfield, near Chelmsford) says, "In a collection of French tracts I have met with a curious work, entitled, Le Grand Calendrier et comport des Bergers, &c. à Troyes, chez Pierre Garnier' (circa 1723). Page 55 contains the Ten Commandments as delivered by the Roman Catholics, wherein the 2d is omitted. At the head is a rude wood-cut of the Deity delivering the two Tables to Moses. In this work are several wood-cuts. From the costume of the figures, &c. I have little doubt of their being coeval with the reign of Henry the VIII., as the same blocks were frequently used for other works of a much later period. In a tract entitled La Grande Danse Macabre,' containing many wood-cuts, one of them represents a man sitting in a study, leaning his elbow on a chair, and before him is a curious lutrin or desk, with several books, &c. with a window of quarry-glass in the back ground; and on referring to a wood-cut inserted in an early edition of Le Rommant de la Rose, nouvellement imprimé à Paris,' (lett. Goth.) and examining it very minutely line for line, it will be found to be the very same block used two centuries previous to this publication in 1723, except that part of the back of the chair has been cut away, and the block split in one place."-The same Correspondent remarks, "Whoever has passed through Braintree and Bocking in Essex, must have observed that the inhabitants have a custom of standing with their hands in their pockets. Not only men and boys, but even women, are generally seen in this attitude. This seems to be an old subject of observation; for I remember forty years ago, when walking with my hands in my pockets, I was asked by an old friend whether I had been staying at Bocking. Perhaps some Correspondent would favour you with an account of a strange tradition about a great stone in the town of Bungay." - VIATOR states, that he lately saw a Funeral Sermon of the Protector Cromwell, thus entitled, "A good Prince bewailed by a good people," by George Lawrence, A. M. Minister of St. Cross's Hospital, near Winchester. It is very neatly half-bound, and printed in 1658; is of the quarto size, has 36 pages, and inserted are the heads of the Protector and his son Richard. In answer to Sexagenarius (p. 290), it is probable that the Rev. David Roderick, Vicar of Choulsbury, near Tring, Herts, is the immediate descendant of the Mr. Roderick alluded to as "Upper Master of Eton School." He was well known as the friend of the late Dr. Parr, and was assistant with him both at Harrow and Stanmore. If so, it is not unlikely that he can give the in formation required respecting the volume in question. In the Letter on Welsh Pedigrees (P304) Thomas Johns, of Tregaron, was, by the misprint of a date, represented to have lived at the termination of the 17th instead of in the 16th century; he was the son of Sion David of Tregaron, by Catrin, a natural daughter of Meredydd Wynn, of Gwydir, who died in 1525. A Correspondent would be obliged by any account of a book intituled "A Short View of the long Life and Raigne of Henry the Third of England. Presented to King James. Printed clo lo cxxvii." W. Z. M. wishes to know whether and where there exists a Pedigree of the family of Justinian Povey, Auditor-general temp. Car. I. In a pedigree of the Sherbornes in Le Neve's valuable Genealogies of Knights in the British Museum, there is this reference (Harl. MS. 5801), "Vide Povey Pedigree." No pedigree of this family, it is believed, is in the Heralds' College. E. P. observes, "The frequent instances of executions for crimes of a less heinous description than murder, have long excited in many minds feelings of lamentation that the loss of life should so often take place, and that this punishment, severe as it is, has not the desired effect of preventing the commission of forgery and other crimes. Feeling this subject deeply, I have been led to consider how far such a sentence could advantageously be changed into condemnation for life to slavery in the West Indies. This exchange promises to answer two objects, severe punishment of the culprit, and a prevention of the necessity for any additional innocent negroes being imported; and if crimes increase as fearfully as they appear to have done lately, might we not almost hope for a gradual abolition of negro slavery. The degradation such a substitution would necessarily inflict upon the guiltless and unhappy negroes, might be avoided by difference of treatment, fewer privileges, and separate labour: the complexion of the convicts would be a sufficient mark to distinguish the innocent blacks from the guilty whites." J. S. has our thanks for his communication. For memoirs of Henry Burton the Puritan, we beg to refer him to Chalmers's Biographical Dictionary. J. W. of Lincoln's Inn, is requested to favour us with his promised communication.
