Lord Byron.
Yesterday the remains of Lord Byron lay in state in Sir Edward Knatchbulrls bouse, Great George-street. The front parlour was appropriated for this ceremony, hung in black in the usual manner on such occasions, and lighted with wax tapers, placed in gilt girandole lamps, arranged on the walls of the chamber, which is small and incommo- dious. The admission was not for the public generally, but by tickets, and several of the nobility and gentry called in the coursc of the day. Amongst those who were ear- liest in their attentlance was the present Lord Byron, ac- companied by some of his family and friends. The coffin is soldered down, and the remains of the deceased can no more be seen before interment by any member of his fa- mily. The coffin is supported in the centre of the cham- ber: it is covered with rich crimson Genoa velvet, and at the head and foot are coronets entwined in a wreath composed of brass furniture; the edges of the case are adorned with three rows of brass-headed. nails, the sides have three han- dles, atid eherubims are placed between them. On the in- scription-plate is engraven his Lordships arms, and be- neath is the following inscription:- OBORGE GORDON NOEL BYRON, LORD BYRON, of Rocldale. Born in London, Jan. 22, 1788. Died at AlMssolonghi, in Western Greece, April 19, 1824. At the head of the coffin is placed, upon a separate sup- porter, a large square ease, richly covered and ornamented to correspond with the coffin, eoutaining four earthen urns, of Grecian workmanship, in which were deposited, at Mis- solonghi, the heart, brains, &c. of tlae ,Ieceased. Near the coffin, on the ground, is an escutcheon, which was painted on wood In Greece, and there displayed when the bodv of Lortd Bvron lay in s,ate at Missoloughi. The crest on this escutcheon is a stag, but the real family orest, and which is preserved on the armorial bearings upen the coffin, is a mermaid. Five of the late Lord Byron's suite accompanied the body to England. Aumongst them is a doctor (an Italian), who attended his Lordship, and also his Italian courier, who was described in an article in the last number of a magazine, published at Edinburgh, as having been killed by a Suliote in Greece. He is s man of robust stature, and wears a rich uniform, en militaire, of blue and silver. He has divested himself, since his arrival in this country, of the long black beard, which ap- pears to have had such an appalling effect upon the writer in the magazine, wvho describes the visit which he paid the late Lord Byron last year in Genoa. The feeling manner in which these domestics speak of their late distinguished naster, must be How received as a disinte- rested testimony of much private worth. The muscular form and outline of bodily strength for which the late Lord I lyron was retnarkable, were perfectly visible after his de- cease, notwithstan'ding the operation of his last paralyzing illness, and the previous indisposition, which was attended wvith very debilitating effScts. The personal appearance nearly the same when the body was removed from the spirits, in which it had been preserved in the voyage to this country, into the coffin f.nially prepared for itS reception. The fine lines Of the features had of course collapsed in death, but they were previously reduced, and expressive of much care and anxiety. His hair had grown thin, and be- come in many places gray: this alteration became more visible after death, when the curls lay more extended upoR the surface of the head. There was no appearance of con- vulsion UpoIn the features, and the approach of death was in all probability imperceptible to the deceasel, wsho seema- ed to have died in a state of extreme languor. The faneral will set out from Great George-street pre- cisely at l0 o'clock en Monday next, in the order mention- ed yesterday, and the applications of those who mean to send thieir carriages must be made, as early as possible, to Wooddeson, Norris-str.eet, Haymarket, -who has the ar- rangement of the funeral. LORD BYRON.
