Death of Lord Adolphus Vane Tempest.
A vacancy is occasioned in the representation of the
Northern Division of the county of Durham by the death
of Lord Adolphus Vane Tempest. His lordship expired on
Saturday between twelve and one o'clock, The late lord
was the second son of the late Marquis of Londonderry, by
his second wife, Frances Anne, daughter and heiress of Sir
Harry Vane Tempest. He was born 2d July, 1825, and
married in 1860 Lady Susan Pelham Clinton, the only
daughter of the Duke of Newcastle, by whom he leaves an
infant daughter,
The deceased lord was educated at Eton, and having
adopted the army as his future profession, he entered the
Scots Fusilier Guards as ensign in April, 1843, became
lieutenant and captain in May, 1849, and captain and lieu-
tenant-colonel in December, 1851. He served with his
regiment during the Eastern campaign, and received the
medal and clasp for the siege and fall of Sebastopol. Soon
after his return home from the East in August, 1859, he
retired from the service, his parliamentary avocations in-
terfering with his military duties. In June. 1852, he came
forward es a candidate for the city of Durham, but was un-
successful. However, in the December following he was
placed at the head of the poll, but in June was unseated on
petition to the House of Commons, a committee declaring
him to have been not duly elected. A vacancy having
arisen in 1854 in the representation of North Durham
by his brother, Lord Seaham, becoming :a peer under the
title of Earl Vane on the death of his father, the Mar..
quis of Londonderry, the late Lord Adolphus came for-
ward and was returned, owing no doubt to the powerful
family influence in the county. He has held the sot
uninterruptedly ever since. Lord Adolphus supported the
Earl of Derby's Government, having come forward on
Conservative principles, and voted in favour of that
man's Reform Bill. Ho occasionally, like many other
members of the House of Commons, supported Lord Pal"
merston's Government, and on the memorable divisors on
the Chinese war recorded his vote in favour of the Go'
went.
By his death the families of the Duke and Duchess of
Marlborough, the Earl and Countess of Portarlington, '4c's/
are placed in mourning. states-
