The 2nd son,

HUGH O'NEILL, Earl of Tyrone, was chiefly educated at the Court of Queen ELIZABETH, where he learnt, from the English statesmen Burghley, Leicester, and Hatton, that knowledge of political craft which marked his entire career. Eventually, throwing off his allegiance to the English Sovereign," the Arch Rebel," as he was styled, disclaimed the title of Earl of Tyrone (which had been confirmed to him by charter, 10 May, 1587) and proclaimed himself the O'Neill. He conquered every army sent against him by ELIZABETH; until after the siege of Kinsale in 1603, he found his cause hopeless and surrendered to Lord Mountjoy, by whom he was received into protection. Subsequently, in 1607, he fled to France, and thence proceeded to Louvain, and finally to Rome where he was maintained on a monthly allowance granted by PAUL V. and the King of Spain. He m. 1st, a dau. of Sir Brian McPhelim from whom he was legitimately divorced; 2ndly, Judith, dau. of Manus O'Donnell, and sister of the celebrated Red Hugh O'Donnell, and by her had issue,

This lady is described by Peter Lombard, archbishop of Armagh, thus: "Etate quidem juniorem, sed educatione, prudentia, pietate maturam;" de Reg. Hib. p. 383. Tyrone d. at Rome, blind and old, 20 July, 1616, and was buried with great pomp in the church of San Pietro Montorio, where the tombs of O'Donnell and O'Neill, Baron of Dungannon, are objects of attraction to English and Irish sojourners in the Eternal City. The tomb of the Earl of Tyrone is no longer in existence, but happily the inscription it bore is still preserved in the Book of Obits, of San Pietro's monastery, and runs thus: D. O. M.

DE DREUX-EARLS OF RICHMOND.

I have found it impossible to reconcile the conflicting accounts of the earlier generations of the ancestry of the Earls of Richmond: Dugdale's statement differs materially from the descent given in the third general Report of the Lords' Committee on the dignity of a Peer, a descent followed by Nicolas and Courthope, whereas the pedigree in the Art de Vérifier les dates is again quite dissimilar. My esteemed and accomplished friend, the present Lord Gort, has afforded me the advantage of his researches on the subject of the De Dreux pedigree, and I have rested my narrative on what appeared to me to be the most reliable sources of information.

FLEMING-EARLS OF WIGTON.

The following is the earlier LINEAGE of this noble family:SIR MALCOLM FLEMING (elder son of Sir Robert Fleming, of Cumbernauld, the adherent of ROBERT BRUCE, and brother of Sir Patrick Fleming, of Biggar, jure uxoris, a dau. and co

heir of Sir Simon Fraser,) fought in the second body of the Scots army, at Halidonhill, 19 July, 1333, and was one of the few who were not slain. His subsequent participation in the conveyance of King DAVID II., to France, and his many gallant services were requited on the king's return, in 1341, by a grant of a charta, dated 9 November, 1341, conferring on him the title of EARL OF WIGTON. The earl was taken prisoner at the battle of Durham, 17 October, 1346, and with his royal master, endured a long and dreary captivity in the Tower of London, but eventually he sat in the parliament of Scotland, at Edinburgh, 26 September, 1357. He is said to have had two daus., one m. to Sir John Danielston, and Marjory, m. to William de Fawsyd; he had also a son,

JOHN FLEMING, one of the hostages for the ramsom of King DAVID II., under the style of "Johan Flemyng, heir au Counte de Wygeton." It is, however, probable that he was dead before 1351, and that Johan is a mistake for Thomas. His

son,

THOMAS FLEMING, 2nd Earl of Wigton, was, under the style of Thomas Fleming, grandson of the Earl of Wigton, one of the hostages for DAVID II., when he was permitted to visit his dominions, 4 September, 1351. By deed of sale, dated at Edinburgh, 8 February, 1371-2, this Thomas sold "pro unâ certâ et notabili summâ pecuniæ" the Earldom of Wigton to Archibald Douglas, and the sale was confirmed by the king. Henceforward, he was styled "Thomas Flemyng, dudum Comes de Wigton." He was s. by his cousin,

SIR MALCOLM FLEMING, of Biggar (son of Sir Patrick Fleming, of Biggar, by his wife, a co-heiress of Sir Simon Fraser, of Oliver Castle), who had charters from King DAVID II., of the lands of Leigne, forfeited by John Kennedy. He had two

sons,

I. DAVID, of whom presently.

II. Patrick, ancestor of the Flemings of Bord. The elder son,

SIR DAVID FLEMING, of Biggar and Cumbernauld, distinguished himself at the battle of Otterburn, in 1388, and had several charters from King ROBERT III. He m. 1st, Jean, only dau. of Sir David Barclay, of Brechin, and by her had one dau.,

LIVINGSTONE-BARONS LIVINGSTONE AND EARLS OF LINLITHGOW.

In the United States of America may be found descendants of some of the ancient nobility of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The family of Livingstone, of New York (unquestionably descended in the direct male line from the old Lords Livingstone) is a memorable case in point: its immediate ancestor was the celebrated divine, John Livingstone, &. in 1603, who, from religious persecution, went or was exiled to Holland. He was a man of talent and influence, and was sent to the Hague to solicit King CHARLES II. to resume the throne. He m. a Flemish lady, and d. in 1672, leaving issue. His diary, on parchment, as well as his portrait (by Rembrandt), is still preserved. The diary has been printed. To his son, ROBERT LIVINGSTONE, Queen ANNE, granted a very considerable tract of land, in the State of New York, which became the manor of Livingstone, and continues to be the seat of the family.

The original grant was of vast extent, and its proprietors, the Livingstones, were all called lords of the manor, until the War of Independence destroyed titles and entails. At the death of the 3rd and last lord of the manor, the manor was divided into four portions, HENRY-WALTER LIVINGSTONE, of Teviotdale, inheriting two of those portions. Beside the possession of their landed estates, the Livingstones of America have gained distinction by their conspicuous abilities and great public services.

ROBERT-R LIVINGSTONE, b. at New York, 27 November, 1746, was one of the committee who drew up the Declaration of Independence. In 1780, he was apppointed Secretary of Foreign Affairs, and, on the adoption of the constitution of New York was constituted chancellor of that state. In 1801, he went, as minister plenipotentiary to the court of France, and gained the especial favour of Napoleon, who gave Livingstone, his portrait, by Isabey, surrounded by valuable diamonds. During his diplomatic residence at Paris, Livingstone accomplished, with the aid of Mr. Munroe, the transfer of Louisiana to the United States. His memoirs have been published as well as the life of his brother Edward Livingstone, a famous American legislator. Robert Livingstone formed the acquaintance, while in Paris, of Robert Fulton, and was associated with that eminent engineer (who married his niece Harriet Livingstone) in great steam navigation enterprises. Chancellor Livingstone, who was founder and first president of the New York Academy of the Fine Arts, d. 26 March, 1813, honoured as an able statesman, an upright and useful citizen, and "highly distinguished public servant."

Another eminent member of the family was Governor Livingstone (governor of the State for life), whose dau. m. the celebrated John Jay. Some years ago, several members of the American family visited Admiral Sir Thomas Livingstone, in Scotland (then keeper of the Royal Palace of Linlithgow), who received them with great kindness, and afterwards corresponded with them until his death.

MAGENNIS-VISCOUNT MAGENNIS, OF

IVEAGH.

The following curious documents describe the condition of the Lords Iveagh after the Restoration

The state of the Claime of the Lord of Iveaghe is as followeth:

The Lord of Iveaghe had two Mannor Houses in the county of Doune before the warres, vizt., Rathfrilan and Narrow-water, both of them are now demolished.

At Rathfrilan, one Mr. Hawkins, an Adventurer, hath built a house, which, as he alleadgeth cost him £300 or thereabouts. The lande about that Mannor for 2 miles every way is not worth six pence per Acre as they stand now in Lease from the said Adventurer, and the most parte of the land contiguous thereto being in Mortgage with Colonell Hill for £1000; soe as all the said inconveniences and encumbrances being in that place hath hindered the Lord of Iveaghe to make his Election there.
