THE LATE GRACE HORSLEY
DARLING, THE HEROINE OF THE FERNIE-

ISLANDS.

A Correspondent at Bamburgh gives the following
particulars of the death of this young woman, so well
known to the public from the heroic part she acted in
saving the crew of the Forfarshire steam-boat, which
was wrecked on one of the Fernie groups in the
autumn of 1838 :—For the last few months symptoms
of a decline have been manifest in her constitution,
and notwithstanding every care and attention that
change of residence and medical skill could effect, she
has ceased to be. Not so her fame—this we may
safely predict will be as lasting as the rock, the
scene of her noble exploit. She expired without any
apparent pain at the house of her sister, at Bamburgh,
her mother and sister alone being present. Every
expression of sympathy and kindness was shown to
the heroic sufferer during her illness by the inhabi-
tants of the district, especially by their Graces the Duke
and Duchess of Northumberland, the latter of whom
was unremitting in her inquiries after her. It will be re-
membered that at the time of the wreck of the For-
farshire, a public subscription was set on foot to testify
the admiration of the subscribers for her meritorious
conduct. This amounted to upwards of 7001., which
was funded for tier use under the trusteeship of his
Grace the Duke of Northumberland and Mr. Arch-
deacon Thorp. This money, it is supposed, will be g iven
to her father, who accompanied her in the boat on the
memorable occasion referred to. Besides this sum,
she was in possession of considerable sums presented
to her on different occasions, by many noble and illus-
trious admirers, which, it is stated, she has bequeathed
to her brothers and sisters in nearly equal shares. Her
mortal remains were interred this afternoon (Mon-
day), in the family burying-place, in Bamburgh
Church-yard. The mournful procession moved from
the house of her sister about three o'clock, followed
by a numerous party. The service was performed by
the Rev. Mr. Darnell, Incumbent of the parish. At
the lowering of the coffin, and throughout the whole
of the service, many a tear was shed. The coffin,
which was remarkably neat, bore the following in-
scription :—" G. H. Darling, died October 20th,
1842, aged 26 years." A severe gale from the N.N.E.
prevented her three brothers from being present at the
last mournful tribute of affection to their dear sister.

ECLIPSES, 1842.--In the year 1843 there will be
two eclipses of the sun and one of the moon, the latter
only of which will be visible to these parts. This
eclipse will be a partial one, and occur on Wednesday
the 6th of December.
