LORD BMW:.

Yesterday morning vast numbers of persons made sa
Oration at No. 20, George-street, to see his Lorlii?
lying in state, but none were admitted but those who el-
sessed tickets of admission from the Executors, er )1:
Wooddcson, the undertaker.
The room where the body Hes is the front parlour, ri
the wainscots and door are hung with black cloth, t.t.l
wax-candles in white 3COIICM, are placed in various pct•
the room. The splendid coffin is fixed on tressels
centre, and the urn is placed at the brad. The
a very imprsing effect.
The remain; of his Lordship, before they left
don thi, were put into a oblong wooden Mt',
ir011:1,:03r5, and was perforated ail over ; it was then
in a !erg' cask containing 160 gallons cf spirits, in shit',
state it was brought to England. Wll.ll the Florida arrir•t
off' the Loudon Decks, the case was taken from the cask
land the spirits were instantly thrown overheard, by mkt t:
I Mr. Ifobhouse. to anxious were many persons .0 p.. 80
themselves of some of the liquid, that half a sorereifnSl'
officed by many fur ever so small a quantity.

(raw( A COUNESPDXOCNT.I
The magnificent coffin, containing the remains of Lot!
Byron, was }esterday exhibited to such of the pagers
were fortunate enough to obtain permission of Mfr.
son, the untlertaker. Tbe opplicationa for atimisticc
numerous, and by every description of persons, and as tltt
house was rather small, Mr. Il'eeddeson's task of stieclil2l
was neither easy nor agreeable. The stolen fist that
countenance of his Loidship was rot much aliml led cl'!
persona to suppose that the body would be exposed ;
however, was not the case, as the leaden coffin was soUmi
on Thor! day night. We think it wouhl have been bee
to have inthileed the public in flits mater ; the k
which would induce us to lake a last look at the gr,•tt,-.
genius of the age, must be far ceroovel from the crstiti:.•
Lion of an idle curiosity. _ _ _

We understand that Mr. Wooddeson, who has the entil
direction of the funeral, having expressed a wish that these
Noblemen and Gentlemen who intend sending their er
rives, would leave their cards, in order to the Isiv
arrangement, upwards of 130 nulls have been sent to
shop in Norris-street, Haymarket. IZt:flemdeol that Ow
procession should let out at nine k precisely• a

We hear that file lawyers are likely to be amused s 3
an action lirc4l:t by a celebrated actitss against the '•&

The lady's absence from the stage has been for some
• matter of astonishment and regret to the admirers ot
drama.
A Correspondent writcs—" The reported union of a
certain managerial King with the widow of a rich Ilanktl•
occupies much of the conversation of the hunt ti n. 'lb'
gentleman is so fully t weir with the affair, that he
!ordered a carriage to be built in the nelObourheed

awaits the Lady's consent to have her arms quartered la'
