The Freemasons' Quarterly Review.
DEATH OF THE EARL OF ZETLAND , PRO-GRAND MASTER . This amiable nobleman , on the Sth of last month , obeyed the stern summons of death , when peacefully slumbering , after a few hours' illness . His lordship's constitution ,
however , had gradually been sinking , and when in London , Dr . Chambers was in frequent attendance . The loss of his lady about three years since , to whom he was most affectionately attached , had greatly contributed to enervate him . His lordship was born on the 10 th of April , 1766 , and was , consequently in his 73 d year . As the Hon . Laurence
Dundas he sat in parliament for several sessions as member for the City of York ; was an alderman and lord mayor of that city , and only terminated his civic connection with it on his elevation to the peerage , on the 14 th June , 1820 , by the death of his father , the first Baron Dundas . His lordship was also a Baronet and Lord Lieutenant and Vice Admiral of Orkney and Shetland . He married , April 21 , 1794 , Harriet , third daughter of General Hale , by
whom he had issue Thomas Dundas , born on the Sth of April , 1795 , now Earl of Zetland , the title to which his late amiable parent was promoted at the coronation of her present Majesty . The funeral of this beloved and venerated nobleman was attended with all the outward marks of heraldic
pomp , but the melancholy train was hallowed in its progress to the place of sepulture by those indications of bereavement that betokened real sorrow and sincere regard for his memory . The inhabitants of York closed their houses and shops on the day of interment , as a mark of respect for their once distinguished member , alderman , and
lord mayor . Lord Zetland , although an active politician , was , when living , one whose character soared above party strife , and in death all men pressed forward to offer the tribute of sympathy . At Falkirk and Grangemouth the shipping hoisted their colours half mast hi g h ; the expressions of sorrow were as deep as at Aske . Scarcely a week before had the benevolence of the deceased warmed the
cold and fed the hungry here , and his latest act—his last words were to transmit a sum of money to purchase some necessaries for the poor .
