"The Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society;" and "The Trigonometrical Survey of the Kingdom," with the correct and beautiful maps of the several counties already published, exhibit some of the labours of his life, that had been been most beneficial to the public; while the advantages derived by the cadets of the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, and by those of the East India Company's Establishment at Addiscombe, entitle his memory to the gratitude of his country. Gen. Mudge had the distinguished honour conferred on him of LL.D. from Edinburgh. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society, Fellow of the Antiquarian Society, Commissioner of the Board of Longitude,. Member of the Philosophical and Geological Societies, and Honorary Member of the Plymouth Institution.

The King of Denmark also had lately presented him with a magnificent chronometer, and contemplated honouring him with a stronger proof of his royal favour.

Vol. LXXXIX. ii. p. 369.-The will of the Duke of Richmond was administered to in Doctors' Commons on the 13th instant. All his real estate is devised to the present Duke, sole executor, in the most concise terms, the whole contents being in a single page of commcn paper. The effects were necessarily sworn to for the assessment of the probate duty: their amount was stated to be under 20,0001. Vol. LXXXIX. ii. p. 370.-The will and codicil of the late Lord Somerville was proved in the Prerogative Court, on 19th March, by William Wingfield, esq. one of the executors. The personal estate is sworn to under the sum of 10,000. The whole of his real estates are devised to his own male issue; and in default thereof, to his brother, Mark Somerville, and his male issue, with like remainder to his other half-brothers, Kenelm Somerville and William Somerville, and their male issue; after, to the heirs male of the body of the person who first had the title, honour, and peerage of Lord Somerville, to which he, the testator, succeeded by lineal descent; and failing such issue, to the heirs ge neral of his said half-brothers, &c. The copyhold and customary estates are left to the heirs male of the testator's late father, the Hon. Hugh Somerville, deceased; in default thereof, to his heirs general, with remainder to his own right heirs for ever. The principal pecuniary legacies are to the testator's half brothers and sisters, who are the residuary legatees. Vol. LXXXIX. ii. page 572.-There is no part of Mr. Errington's large property that goes to Lord Hill, nor is Lord Hill brother of Lord Berwick, nor did Lord Berwick distinguish himself in the Peninsular War. But Lady Broughton devised her real estates (derived from her first husband, Sir Brian Broughton Delves, bart.), after the death of her second busband, Mr. Errington, to her nephews, the Hon. William Hill, and the Hon. and Rev. Richard Hill, brothers of Lord Berwick. Their sister, the Countess of Aylesbury, receives, it is believed, little, if any advantage under the will. Lady Broughton was daughter of Thomas Hill, esq. of Tern, in the county of Salop, father of the first Lord Berwick. METEOROLOGICAL TABLE for April, 1820. By W. CARY, Strand.
