Obituary.

The Coil:Tr.ss or E.II.IXTnN died On the morning
of the 111th inst. very unexpectedly. She had been
slightly indisposed for some time previously, but so
little was any serious danger anticipated that Lord
Eglinton left his castle on Thursday week, to attend
the Scottish Bights' meeting in 6lasgow. During
that night, however, the countess became suddenly
worse, and expired at four o'clock on the morning of
Friday. The mournful intelligence was at once cow-
municated to his lordship, who was staying in 1 flas-
gow, and lie returned immediately to Eglinton Castle.
Theresa, Countess of Eglinton, was beloved and
respected while living, and her many good qualities
will be held in remembrance alike by the rich and
the poor. From the day on which she arrived at the
ancestral seat of Lord Eglinton, she became endeared
to every inhabitant. but especially to the poor arotutd
Eglinton Castle, whose wants in the season of trial
and distress were never left unsupplied by a hand
which responded to every good claim. The excellent
ragged school in Ayr, and all kindred institutions in
the west of Scotland, found in her a zealous friend,
and she never seemed so happy as when attending
the examination of some band of poor scholars
picked up from the streets. In Ireland, while Lord
Eglinton officiated as Vicemy.brief as was the period
of their residence there, it sufficed to make her lady-
ship's character fully known to her warm and im-
pulsive country men, who will mingle their regrets et
her sudden death with the sincere sorrow which ani-
mates the Scottish heart. The deceased lady was
daughter of Charles Newcomen, Esq., and widow of
Richard Howe Cockerel], Esq. She married in ls-il
the Earl of Eglinton and Winton, by when. she has
