LORD WILLIAM HOWARD.

Exhumation of the Reliques of Lord WILLIAM
HOWARD, in the Chancel of Greystbke Church.

Last week, the Earl of CARLISLE, a'nd HENRY
HOWARD, Esq. of Corby, gave orders to search
for the remains of their celebrated ancestor, Lord
WILLIAM HOWARD, Baron of Gilsland, who was
Warden of. the Western Marches in the time of
ELIZABETH, and whose vigorous measures against
the moss-troopers form so conspicuous a figure in
the poetical writings of WALTER SCOTT.
Lord William was the third son of Thomas
Duke of Norfolk, who was beheaded in the same
reign for aspiring to the band of Mary Queen of
Scots, while a. prisoner in Fotheringbay Castle.
His elder brother, Philip Earl of Arundel, married
the Lady Ann; one of the co-be;resses of the
Lord Dacre, and settled at Greystoke Castle,;
while Lord William married the other co-heiress,
Lady Elizabeth, and nettled at Naworth Castle,
being Baron of Gilsland ;—from the elder branch
of the family are descended, the present Duke of
Norfolk, the Earls of Suffolk and Effingham,
&c.;—from the younger branch are descended,
the Earl of Carlisle, and Mr. Howard, of Corby.
At the depth of about five feet from the surface,
the skeleton was discovered, nearly entire ; it mea-
sured about six feet,-and spewed the remains of a
person of strong and athletic make: The teeth
were all prrfeer in the under. jaw, and the shape of
the skull exactly corresponded with the original
portrait of Lord William in the possession of Mr.
HoWard, of Corby. We, believe it is theintention
of Lord Carlisle to have the remains of his ancestor
translated, to the beautiful mausoleum at his Lord-
ship's seat, at Castle Howard, in this county.—
No coffin or inscription was found, and the body
seems to have been buried in a common grave.—
(Leeds Independent, March 25.)

SHOCKING CIRCUMSTANCE. —At Bromley,
Middlesex, on Wednesday evening last, a labour-
ing man, having a quarrel with his wife, was cut-
ting some bread, when he threatened to throw the
knife at her. She dived him to do so, a-nd he put
the knife down ; bnt a moment otter, irritated by
some expression which escaped her, he threw the
loaf at her with great violence. It struck their
infant child, which was at the mother's breast, and
caused its instant death. The father was taken
Into custody, to abide the result of a Coroner's
Inquest.
