-The-second Lord Stanley earned the eier-
gratitude of Henry VII. by crown-
ing him (with- a crest coronet; torn for that
purpose from an empty helmet) King of
England upon the field of Bosworth, and
thus he obtained his earldom. Upon the
death of the fifth , Earl of. Derby, whose
• grandmother was Mary, the Queen -Dowager
of France, and daughter of Henry VII., the
Baronies of Stanley and Strange went into
abeyance :among his three daughters, and
the earldom was inherited by his brother.
The present Barony of Stanley of Bicker
staff° was created -in favor of the thirteenth
Earl, 22nd of October, 1832. . The original
Barony of _Stanley is still in abeyance be-
tween Lord Huntingdon and others.

The Prince has been having quite a spell
of. bachelor housekeeping; is accustomed
now to the charge of the keys,
pours out his
Own -teas to the meaner _horn, and has
managed nicely so far without a Princess to
bear him compeey. The presence of a
sister or a niece might have :entailed the
society of her husband, papa, or brothers
as ; and the heir apparent resembles
his revered mother in not liking too: „many
ot one sorbin the house. To say that His
Royal Highness has been having' a good
time would be a mild deanition of that,
glorious feeling of .becheior freedom which_
comes at times- to all good benedicts-who
know how to wait, and who also know how
to console the mselvee for the enforoed absence -
of a faithful andloving spouse.
