[PRIOR 4D. ST-MICE'ED

THE LATE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE.

(From the Derby Reporter.)
It will be recollected by many of our readers that the
Duke was seized by paralysis four or five years 'ago,
from which he had long since partially recovered, so
much so, indeed, that he was able to receive company,
and during the past season had large parties at Chats-
worth and Bolton Abbey—at the letter place chiefly for
grouse choosing. After remaining some time at Chats-
worth he removed to Hardwick, where, finding himself
greatly improved in health, he determined to remain
during part of the winter, and it was bare that he
gathered around him the members of his family, and
occasionally entertained the resident gentry of the
neighbourhood. A fortnight ago the tenantry of the
Hard wick estate assembled by invitation within the
walls of the fine old naertsien, his Grace mingling with
the happy throng and deriving mach enjoyment from
the exOilaratiog scene. He took daily drives in the park
and over other parts of the estate, manifesting much
interest in the improvements taking place, and p!aoning
the levitation f new drives,c slculated to afford eurploy•
meat to the poor. Only a few days prior to his lamented
death be paid a visit to the Dike of Newcastle at
Clumber, driving a distance, to and fro, of 40 miles.
A week before his demise the Earl of Burlington, the
Hon G. H. Cavendish, M.P., and the other members of
the family, took leave of the noble Duke, whom they
left in the enjoyment of excellent health and spirits.
His Grace then occupied his attention in arranging and
labelling a number of family and other portraits, his
companions during the week being Mr. C usdell, his
medical attendant, and Mr. J. G: C atingbam, his agent.
On Friday last some of the neighbouring gentry were
invited to dinner, and finding one seat vacant—the num-
ber present being 13 in,tesd of 14 —he said smilingly to
Mr. Cottingham, " I unders and Mr. Dickens has a
device to do away wi b that—l don't know what it is,
hut I have weathered the point so often I do not care."
On Sunday he dined as usual with Mr. Cottingham and
Mr. Condell ; to the latter he said, laughingly, "In a
week I shall go to that villa of mine in the Peak," mean-
ing, of course, Chatsworth ; and to the former be jok-
ingly said, " Come, brush up your Latin," and imme-
diately gave a Latin quotation ; in fear his memory was
very retentive to the last. He had a wonderful flow of
spirits, though at times he referred in touching terms to
old departed friends. In a letter he wrote to a friend a
day or two befero his death he referred in feeling terms
to the sufferings endured by his countrymen in India,
and then said, " Here am I, surrounded by every bless-
ing and comfort by a beneficent Providence, far removed
from trials or sufferings--ought I not to be deeply
thankful I" On the evening of Sunday he sat listening to
the play of Mr. C rote, his pianist, beating time with his
foot to the tune, and manifesting great interest in one
of the sacred pieces played on the occasion. He bade
Mr. Cottingham, Mr. Con let, and Mr. Ceote, a kindly
adieu, and then withdrew to bed, from which he was
not destined again to rise.
Mr. Marsden, has, for a considerable length of time
past, attended upon his Grace during the night, sitting
in an aejoining apartment, and ministering when called
upon to his wants. Some time after his retirement the
noble duke said he felt rather chill—nothing unusual
since his illness—and Mr. Cundell attended him, but
there was not the sligheost indication of illness or of
approaching death. lie slept soundly, and Mr. Marsden
did not observe anything amiss until, we believe, about
a quarter to 7 o'clock next morning, when, in going
into his Grace's room, and net liking the appearance
of his face, he immediately summoned Mr. Condell and
Mr. Cottingham. But the Duke was dead. Not a
word dial he utter. He had gone to his final seep.
Such was the peaceful end of tho noblest, the most
princely, and the most benficent of England's great
Toe intengence circulated with great rapidity, and
by noon of the same day was known throughout Derby-
shire, and in many other parts of England. ale uni-
versal feeling of sor:ors prevailed ; and we need cot
attempt to picture the grief of the departed duke's rela-
tives, friends, and servants. Hardwick was indeed a
house r f morning. Those immediately in attendance
upon the ouko could not realise the fact of the noble
duke's death for some minutes—so pl cid and tranquil
did he appear. Telegrams were stilt to the Errl of
Burlington (who was at Castle Howard), to Earl Gran..
vii e, the Duchess of Sutherland, Lord Cavendish (who
was in Pari ), Mr. Cavendish, M.P., Sir Joseph Paxton
(who was at Bolton Abbey), and other friends and mein-
bars of the fatuity. The Earl of Burlington, Sir Joseph
Paxton, a d Mr. Cavendish arrived at Hardwick on
Monday ; Lord Cavendish arrived from Paris on Tues-
day evening. Toe immediate cause of death was a
stroke ; he must have died instanter eously.
In order to show how considerate he was for others,
last week he was planing in his own mind a holiday for
his attendants in rotation. They bad been so kind and
attentive to him, he said, that they deserved and should
have a holiday, and he named who should go to London
first for a fortnight. His loss, not only by those con-
nected with him, but by many others, will be severely
felt To say pothing;Tith reference to..donations aid
subscriptions alit er'publie objects, his private chari-
ties were grist, but will never be generally known- His
feeling wag, in all cases where it was possible, "to do
gocd by stealth and blush to find it fame."
The fonsral will take place at E tensor, near Chats
worth, at 11 o'clock on the morciog of Tuesday next.
We understand tbat some time ago his Grace request.d
to be buried there, and selected a spot where the
vault should be made. Mr. Crace, of London, is the
undertaker ; the hearse and mourning coaches, together
with the horses, will be supplied by Messrs. Helmet',
of Derby, in conjunction with Mr. Huggins, of the
King's Head hotel. In compliance with the well-
known wishes of his Grace, he will be buried without
any ostentatious display. He never approved of
" grand funerals." The funeral will therefore be re-
stricted to the members of the family, the agents, and
the officials in his Grace's household.
Up to the time we write the arrangements with
reference to the lying in state had not been cemplete I.
Probably —but we cannot speak positively —the body
will be placed in the private chapel at Chatsworth on
Monday.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—I was reading The Sun, and saw you were at a
loss about the animal called Wanghae. He is a ctesnut
horse, aged, a hack, in Tlioroe's stable. I believe he id
own brother to Malacca. lie was formerly trained by
Balchin, of Sutton, near Ep,oui. In my opinion, he
will never see the ltoodee.
Yours respectfully,
A READER,

[AnvEarisratsr]. —Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food
supersedes the miseries of the materia medics, brings new
life and cheerfulness to the invalid, and renders the prow ss
of cure both- pleasant and certain. FIFTY THOUSAND
well-known and recorded cases establish this ; and the num-
ber of witnesses to its effects is daily increasing. Amongst
the female sex its salutary effects are as marked as amongst
males. Miss E izabeth Jacobs writes, from Nazing Vicarage,
near W.dtham Cross, Herts :—" I have been suffering, at
least, seven years, in the rime of life, from indigestion, ner-
vousness, headaches, inflammation, and gatherings, low
spirits, general debility, sleeplessness, and delusions ;
muc and,
during all that time, I have required, every year, so h
medical attendance, that I have been almogt ruined by
doctor's bills." She then presentsher heartfelt gratitude to
Messrs. Du Barry, for the complete cure effected by Du
Barry's Food. Mrs. Mary Godsmark, of Hunton, writes—
" Your excellent Food has released me from
