DEATH OF THE M.4RQUIS OF

BR.EADALBAN.E:

As might have been anticipated from the unfa-
vcurable accounts received from Switzerland by
telegram, already published, the illness of the Mar-
quis of Breadalbane has terminated in death. For
the last eight days preceding his death, which oc-
curred on Saturday afternoon, at Lausanne, all
hopes were abandoned of his ultimate recovery.
The late Right Hon. John Campbell, Marqdis
of Breadalbane, Earl of Ormelie, and Baron Brea-
dalbane, of Taymouth Castle, County Perth, in the
Peerage of the United Kingdom, also Earl of Brea-
dalbane and Holland, Viscount of Tay and Paint-
land, Lord Glenorchy, Benederaloch, Ormelie and
Weik, in the Scotch Peerage, and a Baronet of
Nova Scotia, was the only son of Lieutenant-
General John, first Marquis of Breadalbane, by
Mary Turner, eldest daughter and co-heir of
the late Mr. David Gavin, of Langton, by Lady
Elizabeth Maithland. He was born the 26th
of October, 1796, and married, 23d of Novem-
ber, 1821, Eliza, eldest daughter of Mr. George
of Jerviswood, and sister of the Earl of
Haddirgton, who died in the autumn of the
past year. For a short period he, as Lord
Glenorchy, represented Perthshire in the House of
Commons, being elected after the passing of the
Reform Bill in 1832. On the death of his father,
in March, 1834, he succeeded to the titular honours
of the family, and took his seat in the House of
Lords. During the time he was in the Lower
House, and subsequently in the House of Lords, he
uniformly supported the Whig Governments. In
Scotland he was a warm supporter of the Free
Church, and was deservedly popular.
From September, 1848. to March, 1852, the late
Marquis occupied the high office of Lord Chamber-
lain of the Queen's Household, and again filled the
same office from January, 1853, to February, 1853.
He was Lord Lieutenant of Argyllshire and Vice-
Admiral of the coast of that county and of the
Western Islands ; was colonel of the Argyllshire
militia; colonel-commandant of the 2d battalion of
Perthshire volunteers; President of the Royal So-
ciety of Antiquaries of Scotland ; a Fellow of the
Royal Society, and an official trustee of the British
Museum. The English honours, in default of issue,
becoming extinct, the marquis is succeeded in the
Scottish peerage by his kinsman, the representative
of the first Earl of Breadalban.'s uncle, Mr. Alex-
ander Gavin Campbell, of Glenfalloch, Perthshire.
He was born in 1824.

Submitting this question, with every respect, to

THE lELVE_RTON MARRIAGE CASE.

The Lord Advocate resumed his address for the
pursuer on Friday. He maintained that the Irish
marriage proved the reality of the interchange
of consent between the parties, which was continued
in Scotland, where they acknowledge each other Be
married persons, The case was clearly proved 00
both branches. In concluding his address his lord'
ship said be felt perfectly confident that the case
of the purser had been clearly made out both i 0
point of fact and in point of law, and that their
lordships would so find. But whatever view their
lordships might take, they would certainly not pre-
ceed upon the ground so strongly, and, he thoughts
so inaccurately, maintained in regard to the lady's
character and conduct by Lord Ardmillan. What'
ever might be the result of the action she would g°
out of that court with her fair fame perfectly uo'
bullied.

Mr. Gordon commenced to reply for Major Yell'
verton. He argued that the proof of promise so'
the proof of consent must be clear and distinct before
it could afford grounds for constituting a marriage'
He was proceeding to read extracts from the COt
respondence with the view of showing that I
afforded no proof of consent or promise to WI:,
and that it was inconsistent with the idea of the
parties being engaged to marry, when the Coe",
rose.

The Lord President asked what would be t-
position of the defender's case if it appeared to ale
court that there was intercourse between t,l3°
parties on the first visit to Edinburgh, and an en°•

that to the court. He submitted that there woe ll°,
evidence to show that a promise had previonl
