Anecdote of Lord Brome.--- Some years ago, when his Father, Earl Cornwallis, was in America, his Lordship, then about eleven or twelve years old, ahd committed some childish fault, for which he was chid by his Aunt, the Lady of his great Uncle, the late Archbishop of Canterbury, at whose Palace, at Lambeth, the child was brought up; this good lady accompanied her rebuke with a mild reomnstrance and wholesome advice. The boy listened very attentively to what she had said; and having kept silence for some minutes, while he seemed to be meditating upon what he heard, he at last said -- "Aunt, I very much pity Eve." "My dear," replied the Lady, "what brought Eve to your recollection on this occasion?" "Why, Ma'am," answered his Lordshiop, "what you have just said to me: I was in the high road to be a naughty boy; but your good counsel stopped me short, and shewed me my error -- Now I was thinking that poor Eve was to be pitited; for when she was tempted by the Serpent to go astray, and do what would offend God, she had not a good Aunt by her side to give her wholesome advice, and preserve her from the danger she was going to fall into." So solid a remakr from so young a boy, and so expressive of gratitude, may make his relations and his Country, which has an interest in him, augur well of his head and his heart.
--- "Cambridge Chronicle and Journal" Friday, 15 Aug 1823, page 3:
On Saturday last, at his mansion in Old Burlington-street, the Most Noble Charles, Marquis Cornwallis, Earl Cornwallis, Viscount Brome, Baron Cornwallis, of Eye, and a Baronet, Master of the Stage Hounds, Colonel of the East Suffolk Militia, and Recorder of the borough of Eye. --- By his family and his friends their loss will be severely felt, and in the neighbourhood of his estates, upon which he constantly RESIded, he will long be regretted for the mildness and urbanity of his manners, and the suavity and benevolence of his disposition. His Lordship was in his 49th year; he succeeded his father, the first Marquis, and the illustrious Governor General of India, who died at Gauzepoor, in Bengal, on the 5th of October 1805. His Lordship dying without male heirs, the Marquisate is extinct; the Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, his uncle, succeeds to the Earldom only, by descent from his father the first Earl.
