Most of our readers will remember her Majesty's late gracious
nomination of Mr. Robert Hunt, the eldest brother of Mr. Leigh Hunt, to the brother- hood of the Charterhouse ; in which noble foundation he was safely domi- ciled the beginning of the present month. This gentleman has not, how- ever, lived very long to enjoy the Royal bounty. We regret to state that he expired on Thursday night, at ten o'clock, at his apartment in the Charterhouse. Mr. Hunt was in his seventy-seventh year ; and had for some months past been completely helpless, owing to having been accidentally run over about a year since, which had seriously injured him, both bodily and mentally.—Morning Poet.
William Bennis on, the religious adndual whose trial and conviction at Edinburgh for the murder of his wife by poisoning we lately described, VMS hanged yesterday morning.
