THE HON. GEORGE LAMB.

We regret to have to announce the death of the Hop
George Lamb, Under-Secretary of State for the ease
Department, and brother to Lord Melbourne. Mr. Geo*
Lamb has long been before the world as a public character.
He stood a contest for Westminster which is well remele'
bered, and for some time represented that city. He 100,
one of the most active of the Committee of Management 01
Drury-lane Theatre, at a critical period of its history. Mr.
Lamb was bred to the profession of the Bar, but we believe
he never attempted to gain practice. His accomplishment,'
were admitted by all who knew him ; and never, perkier'
did any one possess in greater proportion the qualitlee
which endear a man to his friends. His kindness of 600
and mildness of temper were proverbial.
Mr. George Lamb was born in 1774, so that he bee
been carried off is the 50th year of his age. For soles
years he has suffered very much at times from the gout'
hut from his robust constitution, a long life might bay-.
been anticipated.
His having been put forward by the Whigs to cons
Westminster against the Radicals, then headed by Ste
Francis Burdett, on the death of Sir Samuel Hominy, to
at once a proof of his popularity and the rank which he
held in his party. He was accompanied to the poll bY
Lord Durham (then Mr. Lambton), Sir Ronald Fere'
son, and a number of other distinguised public men, nal
repelled an attempt then made by the mob, who offers"
personal violence to him.

Sir Hew Hume Purvis Campbell, Bart, the
present Candidate for Berwickshire, is about to lead
the bymene.tl altar Miss Spottiswood, second daughter 01
John Spottisivoode, Esq., the eminent Solicitor in Lonclll3'
will late!), succeeded to the large fortune of his uncle, the
late Mr. Stratm, King's printer.
