t THE LATE DUKE OF BUCKINOHAM.—With reaped
to the memory of this deceased peer (says the Morning
Hrrakl) it is requisite to contradict several unfounded state.
meets which have been circulated by various oontempors-
rid The late Duke of Buckingham did not "overpower
his son and heir into cutting off the entail upon his estates,"
the arrangement advisedly entered into in 1847 being alike
honourable to the late duke and his son, both of whom made
sacrifices for the payment of debts which had been per-
mitted to accumulate for several generations. The immediate
sacrifice was that ineurried by the late duke, who gave up
his all for the honourable purpose of the payment of out-
standing engagements, and wbo for the remainder of Lis
life aubsiated upon a limited income from the estates,
which provided a large sum manually for premiums upon po-
licies of assurance, amounting, it is stated, to upwards of
300,050/. The sums now receivable by the present
duke from insurance offices, together sith the large
estate, still retained, will yield, it is asserted, •
clear income approaching that which (from the
accumulation of debts) the late duke at any time re-
ceived from the property. The late duke did not prosecute
his sou for perjury before a court of judiee, though rumour
et • groundless accusation by others, made for objects quite
at variance with the ends of justice, is remembered to have
been promulgated. The late duke sever assumed the name
of Mr. Johnson, and did not end his days is • lodging-house
leading from the Strand. The loss of the deceased noble-
man will be severoly felt in the county of Buckingham by
those who possess a sense of gratitude for all the services
rendered by him, both politically and privately, and such
was evidenced by the universal demonstrations of grief and
respect which occurred at the funeral on Monday last.
