MISCELLANEOUS.

SUDDEN DEMISE OF LADY G. PRATT.—The
Noble Family of CAMDEN have been thrown into
a state of great affliction in consequence of the
sudden death of their eldest daughter. The Mar-
quis, Lord BRECKNOC/C, and the three younger
daughters, had left town on Wednesday for the
Wilderness in Kent ; the Marchioness and the
lamented deceased remained in town for the day.
About three o'clock the young Lady was seized
with a shivering fit, supposed to have been
caused by her having walked in the garden with
thin shoes. Sir HENRY HAErottn attended, and
having prescribed the proper remedy, his interest-
ing patient seemed perfectly recovered. Unfor-
anately, however, the fit returned at half past
and at six, the amiable Lady expired in the
presence of her mother. Yesterday Mr. ORCHARD,
the Upholder, attended to measure the body. It
was pronounced to be the finest corpse ever seen
---the bloom of life remaining. The funeral is
to take place on Tuesday next, at the family
Seat ill Kent.

THE DUKE OF BEDFORD.
It L; with infinite pleasure we announce that his Grace
continues to make happy progress in his recovery.
