THE LUCKY LORD HERTFORD.—The Marquis of Hertford is, we understand, likely to come into possession of a very large property in a rather singular manner. Just after his birth, a rich old gentleman residing in the neighbour- hood was making a settlement of property by entail when, it being necessary to insert the name of some person as remainder, he directed that of the above nobleman, whose birth he had just seen announced in the newspapers, to be written down. At that time there were so many intervening claimants that no one would suppose there was the slightest probability of the property falling to the remainder; but all are now dead, except one and there is, accord- ing to the present appearances, little doubt of the noble marquis eventually receiving a very large accession to his already large fortune.
