    improbability of its having taken this passage, added to the consideration of various other circumstances, led to great and continued doubt, whether the train of subsequent and remote symptoms was not independent of the accident. The event has proved the contrary ; and the almost entire ear of Rye, exceeding three inches in length, has been found, scarcely altered in texture, imbedded in the abscess it had created in the lowest part of the lungs, where it had pene- trated. The sweetness of his disposition, and his engaging and affectionate manners rendered him the object of general love in an extended circle, and secured to him the warmest attachment of those with whom, in their respective relations, he was most immediately connected. In the course of his distressing illness, his patience and his fortitude were alike proved. The promise of early years is not always realized; but rarely has a fairer promise dawned than in the unfold- ing character of this young nobleman, whose loss is severely felt, and will be long and deeply regretted.” This last article was furnished by the friendly pen of Dr. Woollcombe.
