EPITAPH IN HADDINGTON CHURCHYARD . If modesty commend a wife , And providence a mother , Grave chastity a widow ' s life , We'll not find such another In Haddingtown , as Marion Gray , Who here doth lie till the doomesday .
Monteith ' s Theatre , of Mortality . DEATH OF THE MARCHIONESS OF SALISBURY . —We have the melancholy duty to announce the dissolution of her ladyship , which took place after a painful illness of nearly nine months . It appears , that at four o ' clock a fatal change was manifest , and the noble marquis , with Lord Cranbourne and the other youthful members of the family , were summoned to the chamber of death to take a last farewell of a devoted wife
and affectionate mother . Her ladyship had to the last a deep sense of her approaching end , and displayed the resignation of a zealous Christian . It is needless to say the marquis is inconsolable at the irreparable bereavement he has sustained . Her late ladyship , who was the only daughter and heiress of the late Mr . B . Gaseoigne , was married to the Marquis of Salisbury the 2 d February 1321 , when the family assumed the name of
Gaseoigne Cecil by sign manual , and has left issue five children , the eldest of whom is Viscount Cranbourne , born : the 29 th October , 1821 .

After a short delay the cortege proceeded to Hatfield Churchthe road being lined on each side
, by thousands of the tenantry and trades-people of the country for miles around . At the farm , the Marquis of Salisbury , with his two eldest sons , Viscount Cranbourne and Lord Robert Cecil , who have been at Hatfield House since the death of the Marchioness , stepped into the first mourning coach , the other two being occupied by the upper servants . It was nearl y five o ' clock when the funeral cavalcade arrived at Hatfield Church . The interior of the sacred edifice was crowded to excess . The prayers for the
repose of the dead were read in a feeling manner by the Rev . Mr . Peile . The prayers being concluded , the reverend gentleman read the solemn and deeply impressive burial service of the Church of England . The bod y was then placed in the ancestral vault , which contains the remains of upwards of thirty members of the illustrious family of C ' ecii . The noble Marquis appeared throughout deeply affected . It was nearly six o ' clock
