The remains of the lamented Lady Cumttorra
Lemon arrived at Truro last Thursday evening, on the way to the
family seat at Care Lew, whence they are to be taken to the family
vault in Mylor Church•—lt is indeed melancholy to reflect on the
ravages which death has made in that respected family, within a
comparatively abort period. Lady Lawton, the mother of the pre-
st•nct Baronet; his venerated father, Sir William ; their grand-
daughter, who died in Italy; and her brother, the only retraining
child of Sir CHASLUS and Lady Citastasres, who was lately
drowned at harrow—these are now followed by L tdy CHASLOTTE,
who is borne in the tomb, which a few weeks before received the
remains of her only son !

At the Dinner given by the Merchant Taylors' Com-
pany, on Saturday, the Gentlemen present were muds
surprized by the appearance of a man in the Hall, after
the second course was put on the table, dressed in a
white jacket, cap, and apron, and armed with a large
knife and fork by his side. at his entry, some of the
company supposed he was an unfortunate mini ic, who
had escaped out of custody. The ife was converted
in imagination into a dagger, or stiletto. All stood
with astonishment. The waitets trembled with tear,
their teeth chatteling in their heads : they " grinned
horribly a ghastly smile," each one suspecting he should
fall a victim to the fury i f the unknown intruder. The
worthy Maser of the company, however, soon restored
order; observing, there was not any danger to be ap-
prehended from the person who stood before them, as
he was only an ancient officer, a carver ; and he really
proved himself an expert tine, in the rapidity with which
he supplied the guests' plates with slices of venion from
some of Birch's fine hauncht s.
