Malignâ febre correptus,
Eheu, quàm intempestivè!
E terris migravit A.D. MDCCCXLVIII. ætatis suæ XXXVII.,
Triste desiderium superstitibus relinquens,
Amici piè memores hoc illi monumentum poni voluere."

Birthplace of Bishop Hoadley.
—On the west side of the London Road, Westerham, Kent, are some neatly built brick cottages: before one of them stands a yew tree, which, I was informed by an intelligent inhabitant of the town, was planted by the Rev.—Hoadley, on the birth of his son Benjamin. Although the tree still marks the spot, the house itself does not now stand; it was razed to the ground some years since to make room for the present buildings. Benjamin's brother, who was afterwards Archbishop of Dublin, was also born in this house. I may add that this is not generally known in the town, but I think the above "Note" is accurate.
