LONDON, September 6.

Mrs. THURLOW.

The remains of the widow of the late Bishop of Durham were on Tuesday brought from Wanslead, in Sussex, and interred in the Temple.

It is remarkable that she first struck the late Dr. Thurlow with her charms, when she was weeding a garden belonging to a gentleman in which that lady originally moved. The Doctor, whom he was dining with, had her called into the hall, where with her singing and native beauty she so much enraptured him, that he sent her to a boarding school, and in due time married her.
