CROMWELL'S DESCENDANTS.
Why do not the descendants of Olivet Oronmell club together to give him a statue ? asks the World. All Cromwell's descendants in the direct male line are extinct, but, according to the World, he is the lineal ancestor, through females, of a numerous progeny. Among . the peers who descend from Cromwell are Lords Bipon, Ohichester, Clarendon, Oowper, Morley, Lytton, Walsingham, and Ampthill; and among the eldest sons of peers who bo descend are Lord Courtney (heir to the earldom of Devon), Lord Stanley (heir to the earldom of Derby), and Lord Clifton (heir to the earldom of Darnley). Lady Devon, Lady Derby, Lady Darnley, Lady Lytton, Lady Bathurst, Lady Eosslyn, Lady Lathom, Lady Isabella WMtbread, Lady Ampthill, and Lady Borthwick are likewise his descendants. So are Sir John Lubbock and half-a-dozen other baronets; Mr. Charles Villiers, the Father of the House of Commons ; and Mr. Montagu Villiers, the Vicar of St. Paul's, . Knightsbridge.
