‘ RESIDENCE OF SiR ‘THOMAS BOLEYN, 
Sim THomas Boveyn, father of Queen Anne Boleyn, and grandfather of Queen 
Elizabeth, was a merchant of London, and resided in the house here represented in 
Great St. Helen’s, where his beautiful daughter was born and educated. He had also 
a country-house at Battersea ; and, at York-hobse,.in that parish, the tyrant Henry first 
saw her in a party at Cardinal Wolsey’s. Lord Boleynbroke afterwards lived in ber 
father’s mansion at Battersea; and it is still standing, as well as York-house. The dis- 
grace of the cardinal led to the fall of the lady and her family ; but the Boleynbroke's 
have recorded, in pompous monumeuts in Battersea-church, their affinity to Queen 
Elizabeth. Poor Anne tasted the cup of sorrow in the Towe1, where her name, cut by 
herself in the stones, attests the dungeon which she occupied before her barbarous 
murder; the story being made complete by the monster, her husband, standing on a 
mount in Richmond-park, to receive the gratification of a telegraphic signal that she 
was no more!

N the 26th of March, 1820, we 
landed at Rio dela Hacha, in the 
province of New Granada, which we 
found a new town,’ rather irregularly 
built, gloomy.in appearance, but con- 
veniently situated for trade, having a 
good auchorage and ‘safe harbour. 
From its central situation on the main, 
and its proximity to our West India 
islands, (heing only two or three days 
sail from the island of Jamaica,) it is 
better suited to our trade than most of

the other towns on terra firma; and 
also being the export town of the in- 
terior of that large province, and its 
towns of the interior, viz. Moreno, Ba- 
ranca Victoria, Fontseca, St. John, 
Manno, Beddelia, and, lastly, the city 
of Alvalea, bordering on the river 
Magdalena, as well as many others, too 
numerous to mention. 
We entered this town with very lit- 
tle opposition, although there were a 
fourteen-gun battery, a nine-gun bat- 
tery, and the strong fortress of Camena 
Salada. In this place we found valua- 
ble stores of sugar, rum, molasses, oil,
