Death of the Earl of Strathmore.

Yesterday morning intelligence was received in
town of the death of the Earl of Strathmore, who
died on Wednesday at Glamis Castle, Forfarahire.
For more than 12 months his lordship had been suf-
fering from an attack of paralysis. He sought the
mild climate of Spain after his partial recovery, but
to little purpose ; and on his return home he re-
paired to Glamis Castle, where he had the benefit of
a mother's care during the lest few months. So re-
cently as the early part of the week his lordship
appeared in his usual health, but unfavourable
symptoms appeared, and he died on Wednesday, aS
above stated.

The late Right Hon. Thomas George Lyon Bowes,
Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorn, Viscount Lyon
and Lord Glamis,Tannadyce, Sidlaw, and Stradichtie,
in the peerage of Scotland, was the eldest son of
Thomas George Lord Glamis, by Charlotte, daugh-
ter of Mr. Joseph Valentine Grimstead, and was
born 28th Sept., 1822, so that he had not completed
his 43d year. The late peer married, 30th April,
1850, the Hon. Charlotte Maria Barrington, eldest
daughter of Viscount and Viscountess Barrington,
but her ladyship died prematurely in Nov., 1854,
without leaving any issue. The late peer was for-
merly in the Ist Life Guards, from which regiment
he retired in 1846. In 1852 he was elected a re'
presentative peer of Scotland, but at the recent
election he withdrew his name as a candidate on
account of his indifferent health. His lordship suc-
ceeded his grandfather as 12th earl on the 22d Aug.,
1846. For some years up to the autumn of last
year the Earl of Strathmore was a supporter of the
Turf, and expended a fortune in the keeping anct,
training of a stud. Latterly his health precluded
him from taking any part in sporting matters.
The first peer, Patrick Lyon, of Glamis, was one
of the hostages for the ransom of King James (-
delivered to the English in 1424. The ninth Lord
Glamis, who was Captain of the guard to Jae°,
VI., was created Earl of Kinghorn, and the thud
earl obtained the Strathmore title, with remainder
to " heirs and assigns whatsoever." On the nine,
earl marrying the heiress of Mr. George Bowes, 01
Gibside, Durham, he assumed that gentleman's nave;
In default of issue the ancient family honours and
estates devolve on his only brother, the Hon. Claude,
born July 19, 1824, and married in September,
1853, to Frances Dora, third daughter of 01
Oswald Smith, of Blendon Hall, Kent. The present
earl was for a short period in the 2d Life Guards'
