DEATH OF THE EARL OP SCARBOROUGH.

We have to record the death of the Right Hon.
John Earl of Scarborough, which took place at his
seat, Sandbeck-park, near Tickhill, Yorkshire, on Wed-
nesday last.

The deceased nobleman was the eighth Earl of Scar-
borough, and the lineal representative of a filch'y
which traces its pedigree to a period considerably an-
terior to the Norman conquest. The family surname
of Lumley is derived from a small place on the banks
of the Wear, in the county of Durham. In the 7th
year of Edward IV. George Lord Lamley was ap-
pointed high *sheriff of Northumberland. His
_son
R chard was summoned to Parliament in 1509 ; his
BOA John Lord Lumley was one of the barons who
in the year 1530, signed the letter to Pope Clement
VII. for the divorce of Queen Catherine, and who six
years afterwards figured in the "Pilgrimage of Grace,"
but his life was spared. His son George, who was
concerned in the treason of Lord Darcy, Sir Thomas
Piercy, and others, was not so fortunate, but was
executed for his offence. The title was restored by
act of Parliament in 1547, but on failure of the issue
of the direct line, when the title was claimed by a
Rev. Robert Lloyd, the House of Peers came to the
re:olution that the act of attainder incurred by Georg e
Lord Lumley was not reversed by the act of Parlia•
ment. On the 31st of May, 1681, Richard, the se-
cond Viscount Lumley in the Irish peerage, was en-
rolled in the peerage of England, and on the 15th April
following was created Earl of Scarborough. The third
earl assumed the name of Saunderson, and in 17Y6 was
made Viscount Castleton, of Sandbeck, in the county
of York, and subsequently Earl of Cetstleton, but dying
without issue his titles became extinct, and, his estates
descended by will to Thomas Lumley. Richard, the
fourth earl, married the sister and heir of Sir George
Saville, at whose decease the Ruff trd estate came into
the possession of the Scarb rough family. In the year
1765 he'was appointed Deputy Earl Marshal of England. •
John, the seventh earl, who was born in1761, tock •
holy orders, and was a prebendary of York Cathedral.
The deceased peer, John Lumley Saville, Viscount
Lumley, and Baron Lumley of Lumley castle,
in the
county of Durham, in the peerage of England,
Viscount Lumley of Waterford in the peerage and
of Ireland,
was born at Ed winstowe on the 18th of July, 1788, and
succeeded as the eighth earl on the 21st of February,
1835, his father having Leen killed by a fall from a heorM.

Prior to his accession, the deceased nobleman represented'
the county of Nottingham in the House of it
ears,
having been elected by that constituency in the
eoLted

of the question had been adjourned for the purp§se o
ascertaining whether either of them could be carried out
for the sum of 20,0001., the amount stated in the .ad-
