Copley, the well-known ILA., and historical painter, the
venerable Mir Copley, either of John Singleton Oopley,
Lord Lyndhurst, whom she has survived by little more
than four years. Miss Copley, who died yesterday at the
house of Lady Lyndhurst, in Raton-equare, was in her
95th year. Of Mr. Copley's three daughters, two grew up
to womanhood ; of these two she was the yoaager ; and
it may be of interest here to record the fact that her eldest
slater, Elisabeth, who married a Mr. Greens, died at Hem
toe, Massachusetts, on the let of February, 1866, at the
rips age of 95. As Lord Lyndhurst had completed his 91st
year when he died, the three children of the painter who
gervived infamy stelae!, jointly, the long period of 91K
this respect certainly like their mother, who died

she will be well remembered by *any of those who were
privileged to enjoy the society at Lord Lyndhurst's, where
she wan always lively and cheerful, and displayed a rich
fund of anecdote and pleasant reminiscence'. Her poi,
trait as a little child, playing with the future Lord
cello, of Ragland and her other brothers and listen, will
be remembered by all those who saw the oelebethed family
group painted by Copley, which used to hens la the large
drawing-room of Lord Lyndhurst's hone in George-street,
and formed one of the attractions at South Kensington
during the Great Exhibition of 1862.—Time.
