The Marchioness 2 the summer mouths, by order of the Vice-wy Buteusbov, ei 19 49 laud her family have also been living at the same place, being entertained by her brother, who is the Chief Director of the Arsenal. It will be remembered that Lady Fore-sea Woods, daughter of the Marchioness, died shortly after her arrival, and Was also laid in state in a building that had been specially erected for the remains of the Marquis. Her coffin was removed a few days ago, the procession pussing through the Settlement on the way to the steamer, On Wednesday morning the remains of the Marquis were removed with the usual honours to a native junk to be conveyed to the family home in Hunan, 'Three junks were brought, up alongside the wharf and a funeral awning erected where the coffin was to be embarked.
