FUNERAL OP THE LATE LORD DUDLEY

STUART.

The funeral of this distin uished nobleman took place
at Hertford yesterday; the gremains had been removed
on the previous evening from Stratford. lace to Ball's-park,
near Hertfort, the seat of Capt. Townshend, M.P. Not-
withstanding the desire entertained by the family of Lord
Dudley Stuart that the funeral should not be a public one,
it was found impossible to carry this intention fully into
effect, with a due regard to the earnest wishes expressed by
various public bodies that they might be permitted to
testify their high respect for the deceased, by following
his remains to their last restin;-place. In addition to
Captain Stuart, the only son of Lord Dudley, the Earl
and Countess of Harrowby, Lord James Stuart, Captain
and Mrs. Townshend, and the younger branches of these
families, there were present Sir B. hall, Bart., the col-
league of Lord Dudley Stuart in the representation of
Marylebone ; J. Abel &filth, Esq
intimate friends of the deceased ;. M. P., and some other
Prince Ladislas Czar-
toryski and M. Blotnicki attended as representatives
of Prince Adam Czartoryski and the Polish refugees
in France ; Colonel Szyrina, and seven other gentle.
men, as representatives of the Polish refugees in Eng-
land; Mr. Kirby, and three other zontlemen, as a depu-
tation from the Literary Association of the Friends of
Poland, a deputation of nine gentlemen from the vestry
of St. Marylebone, and of nine trom the vestry of St.
Pancras. The windows were closed in the streets of
Hertford, and the children of Chriat'a Hospital lined a
portion of the road through which the long procession
passed. There probably was lilt amongst the crowd of
attentive spectators one to whom the fame of Lord
Dudley Stuart, as the protector of the oppressed, and
the friend of the unfortunate, had not, penetrated.
The coffin, of polished oak, in which the remains were
brought from Stockholm, was deposited in the chancel
amidst manifestations of regret, neither equivocal nor
(twinned to a few.
