[PRIOR 4D. STAMPED 5

THE LATE DUKE OF DEViNSHIRE.

(From the Derby Reporter.)

It will be recollected by many of our readers that the
Duke was seized by paralysis four or five years ego,
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
groin() choosing. After remaining some time at Chats-
worth he removed to Hardwick, where, finding hirneelf
greatly improved in health, he determined to remain
during part of the winter, and it was hero that he
gaelered around him the members of his family, and
! occasionally entertained the resident gentry of the
neighbourhood. A fortnight ago the tenantry of the
Hardwick estate assembled by invitation within the
walls of the flue old mansien, his Grace mingling wits
the happy throng and deriving mnch enjoyment from
the exhilarating scene. He teok daily drives in the park
and over other parts of the estate, manifesting much
interest in the improvements taking place, and planning
the formation of new drives calculated to afford employ
meet to the poor. Only a feet days prior to his lamented
death he paid a visit to the Duke of Newcastle at
Clamber, driving a distance, to and fro, of 40 miles.
A week before his demise the Earl of Burlington, the
Hoe G. H. Cavendish, M.P., and the other mennh rs of
' -the family-, took leave of the noble Duke, whom they
lac ie Use enjoyment of excellent health and -spirits.
His Grace then occupied his attention in arranging and
labellieg a number of family and other portraits, his
cempaeions during the week being Mr."Condell, hie
medical attendant, anti Mr. J. G. C 4tingham, his agent.
On Friday last some of the neighbouring gentry were
invited to dinner, and finding one seat vacant—the num-
ber preent being 13 inste+d of 14—he said smiliegly to
Mr. Cottingham, " I unders and Mr. Dickens has a
device to do away wi h that—l don'l know what it is,
4S4t. I-hate -we:nit-Awed-the valiat tic dirtia tare.'
On Sunday he dined as usual with Mr. Cottinghane and
Mr. Conde!! ; to the latter he said, laughingly, " In a
week I shall go to that villa of mine in the Peak," meat:.
ing, of course, Chatsworth ; an t io the former he j k;
ingly said, " Come, brush up your Latin," and imme-
diately; gave a Latin quotation ; in fare, his memory wee
very retentive to the last. He had a wond•rful flow of
spirits,i though at times he referred in touching erne.' to
old departed friends. In a letter he wrote to a friend a
day or two before hie death he re'erred in feeling terms
to the sufferings endured by his countrym-n in I-dia
and then said, " Here am I, surrounded by every bless-
ing and comfort by a benefican Providence, fir rernov•d
from trials or sufferif gs—ought I not to be deeply
thankful r' On the evening of Sunday he sat listening to
the play of Mr C tote, his pianist, heating i,ime 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 tell, 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, eittioe
in an aojoieing apartment, and reitn-tering when called
upon io his wane. Some tine after hts retirement the
noble duke s!iid he felt rather chill—nothing unusual
since his illness—and Mr. Condell attended him, but
there was not the slightest indication of illness or of
approaching death. He 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, aid net liking the appearance
of his face, he immediately summoned Mr. Caudell and
Mr. Cottingharn. But the Duke was dead. Not a
word did he utter. He had gone to his final seep
Such was the peaceful end of the noblest, the mow
princely, and the most benficent of England's great
nobility.

Toe inteLigenca circulated with great rapidity, and
by noon of the same day was known throughout Derby-
shire, and in many other parts of England. One uni-
versal feeling of sorrow prevailed ; and we need not
attempt to picture the grief of the departed duke's rela-
tives, friends; and servants. Hardwick was indeed a
house of mourning. Those immediately in attendance
upon the duke could not realise the fact of the noble
duke's.death for corns minutes—so placid and tranquil
did he appear. Telegrams were sent to the Earl of
Burlington (who was at Castle Howard), to Earl Gran.
the Duchess of Sutherland, Lord Cavendish (who
was in Peri ), Mr. Cavendish, M.P., Sir Joseph Paxton
(who was at Bolton Abbey), and other friends aud mem-
bers of the family. The Earl of Burlington, Sir Joseph
Paxton, a id Mr. Cavendish arrived at Hardwick on
Monday ; Lord Cavendish arrived from Paris on Tues-
day evening. Toe immediate canto of death was a
stroke ; ho must have died instantaceously.
In order to show how considerate he was for others,
last week he was planing in his own mind a holiday for
his attendants iii rotation. They had 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 nothing with reference to donations and
subscriptions in a:d of public objects, his private chari-
ties were great, but will never be generally known. His
I feeling was, in all cases where it was possible, "to do
good by stoalth and blush to find it fame."
The funeral will take place at Elensor, near Chats•
worth, at 11 o'clock on the morning of Tuesday next.
We understand that some tune ago his Grace requested
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. Holmes,
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." Tue 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
ulerence to the lying in state had n,t been clmplstei.
Probably—but we eavnet speak positively—the body
will be placed in the private chapel at thiatswordi on
Monday.
