He is therefore creeping gradually towards
three score and ten.
We have then, supposing the Duke of
Clarence to die without legitimate issue, to
1 ook towards a Regency in the accession to
the throne of the daughter of the late Duke
of Kent. This may, or may not, prove fa
vourable to the Catholics. At any rate,
lowever, they may safely look forward to
this epoch as affording them much chance
of final success. If the nation should ex-
>erience a second loss in the person of an
1 Seiress Presumptive, we recur then to the
Duke of Cumberland and hie line. The
Duke of Cumberland was fifty-five in June
last past. This brother of the king is .sup*
posed to be ahti-Catholic. We wiH not
dwell on his history, nor on his habits.
The next in succession is the Duke of Sus
sex, who was fifty-four in January.—The
Duke of Cambridge brings up the rear of
the male branch, who is only one year
younger than the Duke of Sussex. We
have thus six successors to the throne, pre
sumptively ; out of which the Duke ©f Sus
sex is the only one known to be favourable
to the progress of political improvement.
In the ordinary course of nature, all these
elder branches, (which are like so many
candles burning out together,) may be ex
pected to terminate their natural lives with
in the next eighteen years. Proceeding
and judging on the same calculation, we
may possibly, or rather probably, have

battery, consisting of several troughs of va

it was of great importance, in order to have
the most perfect effect that the Galvinisnf
should be transmitted along the principal
nerve of the muscle ; that to do this would
require much dissection, that the Surgeons
to whom the body had been given were
unwilling to have the dissection made, as
the body would have been injured for their
anatomical researches; and that Of course
the Galvinism was only applied to the skin
and muscular substahtie by inserting large
pins or very small incisions fhrough the
skin. . ' f ,
We are also informed, that other cir*
cumstances rendered it necessary to avoid
making many necessary preliminaries ar
rangements, and that there was but just
time to put the battery and fire the trough*;

Royal Family of England.-—The follow
ing view of the prospective succession to the
throne of Great Britain* will have interest
for the American reader#
“ From the advaneedage of; a)l the pre
sent Royal Family, there is every palpabi
lity of an early Regency which will be of
considerable duration. The health of the
king, though at present good, is at best pre
carious. He is J$ow sixty-four years of age,
and of that habit of body which seldom
reaches the scriptural period of ** three
score years and ten.”; The king is not
quite one year older than the duke of York,
who is in a dangerous state; [there is a late
rumour that he is dead.] The Duke of
Clarence is two years younger than the
Duke of York, (within fivA days,) and there
fore less than thipo years younger than the
king- It is remarkable that the first three
sons of the late King were all born in Au
gust ; the Duke of York being within four
days of the king, and,the Duke of Clarence
within five days of the Duke of York. In
case of the demise of the Duke of York,
the Duke of Clarence will be the Heir Pre
sumptive to the throne. Of lhe Duke of
Clarence we have heard little since tketria
of the late queen, on which occasion he wil
not be remembered to much advantage. He
is understood. to be afnti-Catholicy and as a
kind of sleeping pajtaer iiu the Court anti-
Catholic club. He is perhaps most known
as having been kept l>y the late celebrated
Mrs. Jordon. He has abundant issue; but
it cannot be expected in these days of legi
timacy, that any branch of his connexion
can lay in even the most distant claim to !
