FUNERAL OF TIIE LADIES BLAKE.-011
Tuesday last.' between the hours of,l, and's in the after-
noon, the remains of the Ladies Blake were deposited with
great solemnity in the ancient family vault at Norham church,
Nort4mptonshire. The funeral procession was awfully
grand and impressive, from-the circumstance of its being
headed by two hearses, each drawn by six horses, decorated
with sable trappings, and preceded bythe usual attendants,
bearing the insignia of funeral solemnitY. , Four.mourning
coaches and four followed ; and then a long train of gentle-
men's carriages, several drawn by four horses. The exact
number was 23, amongst which was the Mansion House
care age of Newcastle. These were succeeded by an ex-
tended' line of tenantry on harseback ; and the rear was
brought up by an immense concourse of people, who came
from al considerable distance to chew their respect, and
whose discreet and orderlydemeanour testified how sincerely
they sympathised in the grief ,of the Hon: Baronet, who
was following a revered parent and a beloved wife to the
grave. Alas ! How true :
" All flesh is grass, and all its glory fides • ,
Like the fair flower dishevelled .in the wind."

The. thief mourners were Sir Francis Blake and General
Blake. Then followed Colonel, Reed and Archibald Reed,
Esq. (Mayor of Newcastle, ) Mr. Clennell ( Hari)* tie Castle,)
Mr. Allgood (Nunwick,) Mr. Christopher Reed, Mr.
Henry Reed, General Kerr, Captain Dickson,- R.N.,' and
upwards of 40 other gentlemen.-Newcastle Chronicle.
