The late George Tennyson, Esq.—Last week we recorded the decease of George Tennyson, Esq. of Bayons Manor and Usselby House, in his 86th year. His remains, preceded by the Rev. Rd. Atkinson, Vicar of Usselby, attended by his tenantry, and followed by his son, the Right Hon. C. Tennyson, M.P., were removed in the night between Sunday and Monday last from Usselby to Bayons Manor, and on Monday at two o'clock were interred in the family vault in the chancel of Tealby church. At Grimsby the flag was lowered half-mast high, out of respect for the head of a family which for centuries had been connected with that borough. As the mournful procession passed through Market Basen, notwithstanding the untimely hour of midnight, and the intention of the family that the removal of the body should be quite private, every mark of respect was shown by the inhabitants to their late valued and venerable neighbour. Sixty individuals from the town and vicinity followed his remains on horseback. On Monday also the Inhabitants of Rasen closed their windows for great part the day. The number of persons who assembled to obtain a sight of the last receptacle of their kind departed landlord and friend, showed the affection with which his memory was regarded after a continued residence among them during the greater part of a century. Nor was the remembrance of his amiable and most benevolent lady less vivid during this impressive scene. His funeral was attended by the magistrates, clergy, and gentlemen of the neighbourhood, by his tenantry, and by many respectable Inhabitants of Grimsby, Market Rasen, Caistor, and the surrounding country; while of the vast multitude (estimated two thousand) who assembled in the grounds of Bayons Manor and at the church, great numbers were in mourning. Of his relatives who attended beside his son and the family of his son, were the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton, his great-grandson by that marriage, and his grandson Wm. Russell, Esq. of Brancepeth Castle. The unusual manifestations have recorded were the natural results of a life which had ever been useful and beneficial the district in which he resided. His powerful understanding, sound judgment, great experience, and benevolent disposition, were at all times readily engaged for the aid of others. To the poor he was always kind and considerate; his tenantry ever found him an indulgent and liberal landlord; as a magistrate he was cautious, just, and merciful; in friendship his constancy was proverbial; and until Infirmity prevented his entering into society, he was remarkable for that hospitality without ostentation which makes every one feel not only welcome, but at home. At the close of his protracted life, he bore his accumulated bodily afflictions with exemplary patience, and exhibited that pious lowliness of heart which bespeaks a fitness for a more blessed state. Mr. Tennyson was the principal projector and subscriber to the magnificent Dock and Navigation of Grimsby, where and in the neighbourhood he inherited a considerable and very ancient family estate. It will be remembered that his son represented that borough In Parliament for several years; and It ought to be recorded that when some of the tenants, relying on the known forbearance of landlord, voted against Mr. Chas. Tennyson, they remained unmolested, although holding their houses at old and low rents.—He was lineally descended from, and represented heir or co-heir, the ancient families of Clayton, Hildeyard, D'Eyncourt, &c; and has by his will directed his son, the member for Lambeth, to take the name of D'Eyncourt in addition to his own, in order to commemorate the descent, united in him, from the two different houses who formerly bore that distinguished designation.
