tack on Quebec, chap. XIV.} 1759. Pitt selected the generous and kind-hearted Saunders, an officer who to unaffected modesty and steady courage joined the love of ci and a brigade of engineers,—in all, about eight thousand men; the fleet under Saunders had twoand-twenty ships of the line, and as many frigates and armed vessels. he general proceeded to reconnoitre the shore above the town. In concert with Saunders, on the eighteenth of July, he sailed along the well defended bank from Montmof the five passages from the lower to the upper town was carefully intrenched, Saunders was willing to join in any hazard for the public service; but I could not propeep, though so narrow that two men could hardly march in it abreast; Vice Admiral Saunders to Secretary Pitt, 20 Sept., 1759. and he knew, by the number of tents urprise.

His delay and retreat to Crown Point gave De Levi, Montcalm's successor, a last opportunity of concentrating the remaining forces of France at Jacques Cartier for the recovery of Quebec. In that city Saunders had left abundant stores and heavy artillery, with a garrison of seven thousand men, under the command of the brave but shallow Murray. When De Levi found it impossible to surprise the place in mid-winter, he still resolved on undertaking its reduction. George Townshend, now in England, publicly rejected the opinion, that it was able to hold out a considerable siege; and Murray, the commander, himself prepared for the last extremity, by selecting the Isle of Orleans for his refuge. As soon as the river opened, De Levi proceeded with an army of less than ten

Charles Townshend to Grafton, 2 Nov. 1766, in Grafton's Autobiography; Conway to Chatham, 22 Nov. 1766, Chat. Corr. III. 126. Saunders and Keppel left the Admiralty, and Keppel's place fell to Jenkinson. The Bedford party knew the weakness of the English Ximenes, and scorned to accept his moderate bid for recruits. But the King continually cheered him on to rout out the Grandees of England, now banded together. King to Chatham, 2 Dec. 1766. Their unions, said Chatham in return, give me no terrors.

t now belongs to my brother. We also still own the old property of the Hawes Solihull near Warwick. I have found a curious old sampler worked by this Mary Cradock in 1722, and we have a beautiful portrait of their daughter Mary, painted by one Saunders. I also find in Erdeswick that Matthew Cradock purchased Carswall or Caverswall Castle from Lord Huntingdon some time previous to 1655, so I think it probable that the Cradocks at Caverswall and the Parkers at Park Hall were near neighbors and n their connection with this place and family did not date till 1735, a hundred years later. I cannot yet trace any connection at so early a date. Yours sincerely, E. M. Parker Jervis. P. S. I notice that this George Cradock married a Saunders, and our picture here a hundred years later is also painted by a Saunders, which is curious. Feb. 9th. Dear Mr. Hughes. I believe I may have solved the difficulty about Medford. I had an idea that we must look for the former owners of thi

City Council. --A regular monthly meeting of the Council was held yesterday. Present--Messrs. Saunders, Anderson, Denton. Griffin, Scott, Graitan, Crutchfield, Burr, Hill, Haskins, Richardson. Absent — Glazebrook, Roddey, Talbott, and Greaner. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. Col. Haskins, from the Commissioners of Streets, reported in favor of giving William Ready the contract for indexing and numbering the streets, in accordance with the plan of the City Engineer. Mr. Scott opposed the report, first, because he did not know that the Council had the right to compel citizens to put numbers on their houses — and, second, because a citizen of Richmond, who desired to propose for the work, had been denied the privilege of doing so. Mr. Denton thought Mr. Ready was entitled to the contract, and that the Council should give it to him, if it had the right to require citizens to number their houses. After further discussion, on motion of

e side on Church street, was occupied by James F. White & Co., importers of Irish and Scotch linens, whose loss on stock is estimated at $150,000.

City Council. --An adjourned meeting of the Council was to have been held at the Council Chamber yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock, to take up and act upon the amended city charter, but as only Messrs. Saunders, Gratian, Crutchfield, Burr, Anderson and Hill attended, nothing could be done for want of a quorum. The members present, after consultation, agreed to meet next Thursday afternoon, when it is hoped the absentees will attend promptly, and dispose of the public business. If the charter is to be amended, and it certainly needs it, there is no time to be lost, as the Legislature is to meet at an early day in January, and will get through the work before them with the least possible delay.
