The remains of Lord Iddesleigh were interred in the grave-
yard of Upton Pyne, in Devonshire, near his country-seat, " Pynes," in the presence of a great assembly, on Tuesday; and a memorial service in Westminster Abbey was held on the same day. The attendance in both places showed how deep was the respect, and how hearty the affection felt for Lord Iddes- leigh, by almost all the eminent men of his time, by opponents and colleagues alike. In Westminster Abbey, the pause for prayer which the Dean requested daring the time when, according to the calculation, Lord Iddesleigh's body was being committed to the earth in Devonshire, was in the highest degree solemn and pathetic. There have been many statesmen who when they passed away were more missed in the council. room, but hardly one during this century whose death has been more truly mourned.
