 Mrs. Tyler was stricken with the paralysis nearly 4 years ago. The blow was extreme Iy severe, and although by the kind atten. tiOns bestowed on her, under the direction of able physicians, she was placed in cOns'i- ton of comparative comfort. yet her frame was greatly shattered and her health render ed everm0re precarious. The loss of her speech, to great extent, wac one of the un- happy effects of this attack, while her system was so much enteebled as to render the se- clusion of her chamber indcspensably neces- sary.
 Mrs. Tyler was the daughter of Robert Christian, of the county of New Kent, Vir. ginia, who served for many years as mem. Der of the Virginia Legislature. She was born on the 18th of November l79O-was married to the President on the 29th Of March. l6l3-became a member of tho Protestant Episcopal Church, in which she was bapti- zed in early infancy-and died in the fifty second year of her age. Her end was quiet and tranquil, like one falling from weariness into profound slumber, exhibiting mind at rest with itself, and heart of virtue.
