of Huntingdon. Sir George Rawdon, in 1641, repaired in a military capacity to Ireland, where he so greatly distinguished himself as to obtain high honors, and estates in the province of Ulster. The present Lord is the son of the first Earl of Moira, by his third wife, Lady Elizabeth Hastings, and was born Dec. 7, 1754, and succeeded to the family title and estates in 1793. At an early period he obtained a commission in the army, and served with great distinction in Ame: rica under Lord Cornwallis. In 1803 he was made Commander in Chief in Scotland, Constable of the Tower, and Master-General of the Ordnance, in 1806, and in 1814, appointed to his present high office of Governor-General of Bengal. During his residence in Scotland, he married Flora Campbell, Countess of Loudoun, the only child of the late Earl of that name. Lord Moira has long been honored with the particular friendship of the Prince Regent, for whom he has always manifested an equal zeal and affection.

Of this our author seems to be aware, for some of his most reprehensible performances have been sent into the world under fictitious names, but with such little solicitude for concealment, that we believe he has never once disavowed any of them.

MORE, HANNAH. This distinguished ornament of her sex was one of the five daughters of a village school-master in the parish of Hanham, near Bristol. Her parents were so meanly situated as to be incapable of giving her that education which she desired. The casual reading of an odd volume of Richardson's Pame la, excited a thirst of knowledge which could not be allayed, and the kindness of some ladies in the neighbourhood ena bled her to gratify her inclinations.
