We cannot close this notice of the daughter of Lord Grey and widow of Lord Durhamwithout one worcl of regret for those rare qualities of
, mind and heart , which are buried iu her untimely grave . The very course of those domestic duties , within ivhich she confined herself , not only called into action the feminine kindness , devotedness , and purity of her character , but gave her scope for proving a solidity cf judgment and clearness of apprehension rare even among men . The loss of such a person will be felt by every one brought within the circle of her influence b y the various relations of life .

From the conscientious care with which she executed this solemn trust , we bave no doubt that all such family arrangements as her death might render necessary have been made .
