THE NEW PEERS.

The venerable Earl of BuRLINGTON (late Lord GEORGF.
CAVENDISH) selected the title by which be has been ele-
vated to the Peerage in consequence of its having been
borne by his Lordship's maternal grandfather, the last
Earl of BURLINGTON and CORK; who died in 1715, when
his Irish titles devolved on the E,rl of CORK and ORRERY ;
the other English titles become extinct. His Lordship,
as became so old a member of an illustrious house, took

the lead in the great Reform meeting at Chichester in the
spring of the year ; and it is needless to say that the Noble
Earl, as Member for the county of Derby, has supported
the question of Reform on every occasion. By the Earl's
ascension to the Peerage, a vacancy of course occurs in
the representation of Derbyshire; the same auspicious
event advances Mr. WILLIAM CAvENDIstr, his Lordship's
grandson and heir apparent, to the rank of Lord CAVEN-
dish, by courtesy.
Lord DINORSEN (late Colonel HUGHES) is the repre-
sentative of a great Walsh family. His Lordship has sat
in several Parliaments for the borough of Wallingford, and
his political opinions, judging from his votes in the House
of Commons, are liberal. As his Lordship, until his ac-
cession to the Peerage, was one of the sitting Members for
Wallingford, a new writ will be also moved for that
borough. Lord DINORBEN possesses, it is understood,
great wealth. He is Colonel Commandant of the South
Angiesea Militia.
Baron OAKLEY (the Hon. Capt. GEORGE CADOGAN),
is already connected with the high aristocracy of the
country, his Lordship being the second son of the late Earl
CADOGAN, and heir presumptive to the present possessor
of that title, who is fir advanced in years, and exceedingly
infirm. Lord OAKLEY'S elder sister is the wife of the
Hon. and Rev. Dr. WELLESLEY, and the present Mar-
chioness of A NGLESEA is another sister of his Lordship.
The Barony of Oakley has been one of the hereditary
honours of the CADOGAN family since 1718. His Lordship's
vilifies are known to be liberal, and a short time ago he
distinguished himself by an able speech which he delivered
at Chelsea in support of the Reform Bill.
Baron PA NMURE (the Hon. W. 31. RA3ISEY MA ULE) is
brother to the Earl DA LIIOUSIE, Commander of the
Forces in the East Indies. Lord PANMITRE has recently
laid claim to the title which lie has chosen, as being next
male heir of his kinsman the Earl of PANstuRE, who
died in 1782. His Lordship inherits the extensive estates
of the Earldom, and upon taking possession of them ass
sumed the name and arms of NIA ULE of Panmure. His
Lordship has always acted with the Whig party, and as
Member for the county of Forfar, has voted in favour of
Reform, although every place in Scotland elects on the
close-borough system.
Baron TEMPLEMORE (Colonel CHICHESTER) is nephew
to the Marquis of DONEGAL, and son-in-law to the Vice-
roy of Ire!and, having married Lady AUGUSTA PAGET,
his Lordship's fourth daughter. Lord •TEMPLEMORE'S ac-
cession to the Peerage occasions a vacancy for the county
of Wexford.
Baron MosTirx (Sir EDWARD PRYCE LLOYD) has re-
presented the town of Flint fur several years, and has uni-
formly supported the present Administration by his votes
in Parliament. His Lordship inherits the Baronetcy of
Mostyn of Pengwern ; and his Lordship's eldest son, Mr.
LLOYD MosTvN, who is married to a daughter of the Earl
of CLONMELL, as Member for the county of Flint, is also
a stanch friend to Reform.
Baron POLTIMORE (Sir G. W. BAMEYLDE) is little
known in political life. His Lordship succeeded
his father, the late Sir CHA ALES BAMFYLDE, in the ancient
Baronetcy of BA3IFYLDE of Poltiniore, 1823. The late
Baronet, it will be recolktted, was assassinated at his house
in Montague-square by an individual who afterwards ter-
minated his own existence.
Baron WENEocx( SitiROBERT LAWLEY, Bart.) is brother
to the Member for Warwickshire, and possessed of vast
estates in the midland counties. His Lordship is brother-
in-law to the Marchioness of CONYNGHAM, and Mr.
DEstisoli, the Member for Surrey. who, it is expected,
will be created a Baronet. Lord WENLOCK and his Lady
have for some time resided in Italy, where his Lord-
ship has purchased a delightful residence, near Florence.
The Marchioness of CONY NGIIAM and her Lord, in their
way through Italy, paid a lengthened visit to his Lordship,
who is, however, now in England.
Baron SEGRAVE (COL BERKELEY) is a distinguished
member of the fashionable word, and is understood to be
a Noblemen of very liberal politics. His Lordship is well
known as the elder son of the late Earl BERKELEY,
.-:hose heir-apparent be was at one period considered.

DEATH OF THE BARONESS DE LA MOTTE
FouQUE•—On the 21st of July died Baroness CAROLINE
DE LA AI?UTE FOUQUE, one of the most popular of the
female writers of Germany ; she expired in the arms of her
husband, Baron FREDERICK DE LA MOTTE FouQuE, at 11.. r
paternal estate near Rathenow. Several of her novels, e. g.
Ilederick, die Fran des Falkenstein, Feodore, her Tales,
intl her Letters on Female Education, do great credit to
the talents of their accomplished author. —Lit. Gazette.
In addition to the distaste which has of late
sprung up towards " the Smithfield Muses," Bartholomew
fair has been this year almost annihilated by the Corona-
tion and bad weather.
