LORD COMBERMERE'S AGE.—It was one of Lord
Combermere's foibles, while he lived, to conceal his
real age, and although his first commission in the army
dated from 1790, a fact which would point out his ago
pretty plainly within a year or so, very many of the
I. peerages" were wofully at fault upon the subject, Mr.
Dodd making him to have first seen the light at various
dates from 1769 to 1780, and we believe that it was only
Mr. Lodge who solved the mystery whild his lordship was
alive. He was born, as Lady Combermere now states, on
the 14th Nov., 1773, and having received his early educa-
tion at a small school at Audlem, in Cheshire, and after-
wards at Westminster, he went to a military tutor at Bays-
water, with whom he remained until his father obtained
for him a commission in the 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers,
and he joined that regiment in Dublin when he had only
just completed his 17th year. At Westminster he was the
schoolfellow of the Archbishop (Venables-Vernon) of York,
and also of John Byng (afterwards F. M. Lord S trafford),
the late Duke of Bedford, the poet Southey, and the late
Marquis of Lansdowne. On Sundays and other holy days
he used to visit at the house of his c
