ER Lad having no child of her own, has taken upon herself, the education of a young Lady nearly related to her noble Lord, and perhaps, no woman in the Kingdom is better qualified to do it: we likewise believe, that fome grown people have teen much obliged to her Lp's head, and hand too, during her refidence in foreign Courts; for the figure and station, they now bear in this.-We do not mean that contemptible wretch, the Apothecary's fon of salle Street, Mr. S-y

FROM a real, or
a real, or a pretended zeal, for
Religion, this Lady has done inconceiva-
ble mischief, which Bedlam; every private Mad-
house, and most Bwy Houfes will testify!
we cannot however help believing, she means
well, but she would do more good, by using
her endeavours, to difunite, what they call, the

AN excellent economist; and is making a laudable provifion for a numerous family. He preferves a perfect uniformity of charac&ter; and is not like Cataline; who is faid to have been at the fame time, alieni appetens fui profufus: The fui profufus is a vice he was ever an utter stranger to, and there is all the reason in the world to hope, that his heir apparent, will closely imitate fo glorious an example. His piety and devotion are truly exemplary! He keeps a Chaplain; and has prayers twice a day in his family; fuch virtue and piety could not fail recommending him to the favor of a religious Pre; and in stipends and places, besides the trifle of a Treasury Borough, he has always had the honor of sharing pretty largely in the royal Bounty.
