DEATH OF LADY HENRIETTA LOUISA MORANT.

ship's death several noble families are placed in mourning.
DEATH OF A SON OF THE EARL OF ELGIN.—On
Friday afternoon the Hon. Master Charles Bruce,
third son of the Earl and Countess of Elgin, died at Meth•
ven Castle, Perthshire. About three weeks ago the boy was
seized with inflammation of the brain of a rather virulent
type, and. as usual, in attacks of that malady, became in-
sensible. On Thursday consciousness seemed to have re-
turned, and hopes were entertained that all might yet go
well. These hopes were, however, deemed to speedy dis-
appointment. On the following day, Friday, at half-past
one o'clock p.m., he breathed his last. Death seemed with-
out pain or suffering of any kind. It is a consolation to
know that, though so widely separated from both parents,
Mr. C. Bruce was not without the devoted attention of the
kindest friends. Mrs. Smythe, Methven Castle, cousin to the
Earl of Elgin, watched over the boy with almost a mother's
solicitude during the entire course of the fatal malady—day
and night she was by his couch. Of other friends, Lady
Elma Bruce and Major Cumming Bruce were also most
unremitting in their watchful care. Master Charles Bruce
was a pupil in Trinity College, Glenalmond, and was in his
11th year. The corpse was brought last night from Perth
to Broomhall, the seat of the Earl of Elgin, and will by in-
terred to. morrow (Wednesday) in the family vault, Dun-
fermline.—Echnbirrgh Courant.
