CHRISTMAS GIFTS,—On Christmas-eve, gifts of coals,
provisions, clothing, &c., were made to the poor in most
of the metropolitan districts. In St. Mary Abbot's,
Kensington, the gifts of her Majesty and her Royal
Highness the Duchess of Kent, consisting of coals, meat,
bread, potatoes, and blankets, were distributed ; and in
some instances of age and infirmity, tea, sugar, &o. At
Kew, her Royal Hignhess the Duchess of Cambridge,
with her accustomed liberality, gave a substantial dinner
of roast beef and plum-pudding to the poor, and ordered
a large distribution of coals and candles.
PITHS LATH MRS, BIILLER.—This lady had come into
Exeter to purchase her usual Christmas gifts, and also
to meet her sons, who were coming from school. She
suffered from a light weakness of the chest, and Dr.
Budd, her medical attendant, expressed his regret that
she had ventured out on a day so cold as Thursday week.
She was awaiting the departure of the train, and when
in the waiting-room of the station she was seized with a
violent fit of coughing, which ruptured a blood vessel.
She instantly sent for Dr. Budd, and Mr. Buller having
been telegraphed for from Bristol, Dr. Miller came with
him, as a friend. He saw, with Dr. Budd, that there
was no hope of preserving life. Dr. Budd was in at-
tendance on her throughout the whole of Friday. Her
sisters, the Countess of Carnal-von and the Countess of
Suffolk, arrived, and administered all the cares that the
most tender affection could impart, but all in vain. At
nine on Saturday morning Mrs. Buller expired of pul-
monary apoplexy,— TVeeern Times.
