FUNERAL OF Lon° VISCOUNT TIAMPDEN...--.
The remains of this respected Nobleman were taken on Friday
morning from his house in Green-street, Grosvenor-square,
in a hearse drawn by six horses, followed by two mourning
coaches and six, and his Lordship's private carriage with 'his
four favourite grays, and proceeded in the course of the day to
his estate at Gland, Sussex, a distance of 54 miles, where the
cavalcade arrived at nine o'clock at night ; it being the express
wish of the executor's not to sleep on the road. Early on
turday morning the body was borne by eight labourers, servants
of his Lorship's tenants, dressed in white smock frocks, and
deposited in the vault ofl his ancestors. The corpse was fol.
lowed by Gen. Harcourt, Cen. Wcdderburn, the Right Rev.
the Dean of 'Windsor, Lord Gage, and one of the executors.
The funeral was strictly as private as consistent with his Lord-
ship's rank, by own express desire; and the labourers who bore
him to the church, each received five pounds. His Lordship is
succeeded in his title rind estates by his brother, the Hon. John
Trevor, now Lord Viscount Hampden.
Mrs. COUTTS arrived at the British Hotel,

Mr. Coutts during the holidays of his boyhood (his mother
being a daughter of Sir Robert Stuart, hart.), and attended
divine service at the parish church of ildrom. The poor upon
this, as on many other occasions, will have reason to remember
her generous and charitable disposition. She forwarded to the
Minister of tho'PaVislt - 201 to be distributed among those who
stood in immediate want of assistance; and generously gave to
an old servant of the Allanhank family, who remembered, and
had pahapi •beett the companion of Mr. Courts during his
