DEATH OF MRS. BLOSIFIELD, MOTHER OF THE
BISHOP OF LONDON.—The death of the above amiable
lady took place last evening (Tuesday), at her residence
in Bury, under circumstances of a peculiarly saddening
character. Mrs. Blomfield had been in her accustomed
health during the day—indeed, had been walking in the
town. In the afternoon she complained of unusual symp-
toms ; these increasing, ended fatally at about eight,
P.M. It is known that the Right Rev. Bishop of London
(who is the son of the deceased lady) was expected in
his native town, to officiate at the re-opening of St.
Mary's church. Strange and melancholy to say, his ar-
rival tot& place at the moment of dissolution. Mrs.
Blomfield was, we believe, in her eightieth year. The
character of the deceased—her connexion with the dis-
tinguished Prelate, and the approachicg ceremony at
which he was about to assist, occasioned a deep concern
and sympathy in the town. We understand that the
sudden and painful occurrence will not prevent the cere-
mony of re-opening the church taking place. The Bishops
of Lincoln and Norwich are severally named as likely
to officiate in the stead of the Bishop of London.—From
the Second Edition of the Bury Herald.
CARROTS A SUBSTITUTE FOR EGGS IN PUDDINGS.
—lt is not generally known, and will not, perhapF, be
credited, when it is observed that boiled carrots, when
properly prepared, form an admirable suceedaneum for
eggs in the making of puddings. They must, for this
purpose, be well boiled and meshed, and afterwards
passed through a coarse cloth, or horsehair sieve. The
pulp, when thus cleared of any chance fibrous or granular
matter, may be introduced among the other ingredients
constituting the pudding, with the total omission of eggs,
in a quantity proportionate to the size of the former.
A pudding composed partly of the above material will
be found to be considerably lighter than if the same had
been made with eggs, and will impart a far more grateful
and agreeable flavour. Upon the principle of economy,
the above fact is well worthy the prudent housewife's
attention, and there are some housekeepers, approved
culinary practitioners too, who, in making their Christ-
mas plum-puddings, adopt the receipt under notice in
preference to using eggs for this purpose. Any person
who will but take th© pains to try the above experiment
upon a small scale, will be fully satisfied with the justice
of the remarks here submitted.
