VICTORIA CLUB BETTING—Tins DAT.
The attendance was not a large one, nor were the
transactions of a heavy nature. The Ebor Handi-
cap was made the medium of most speculation.
There appeared no great disposition to back Brada-
mante, who however was nominally first favourit
at 5 to 1, while 6 to 1 was so freely accepted about
the newly named Goodwood that at the close that
price was not obtainable, 5 to 1 being the current
offer on the field. Challenge was friendless at 12
to 1, there being an evident disposition to support
him for the Leger to be in the first three, for which
event the general impression seems to be that he
will be reserved. The other prices are appended, but
they were accepted to small a:nounts. Marks-
man, said only to have been walking this week,
was in bad odour for the Leger; fifteen ponies were,
however, accepted about him, but an offer to bet
even money against his running failed to find a
taker. 2 to 1 would have been readily accepted
about Hermit had it been obtainable. The prices
are appended :

DEMI OF LORD DUNKELLIN, M.P.

It is with sincere regret that we announce the
death of Lord Dunkellin, M.P. for Galway, which
occurred at an early hour yesterday morning at the
residence of his father the Marquis of Clanricarde,
in Stratton-street, Piccadilly. Lord Dunkellin bad
long been in ill health, but it was only for the last
few days that he was known to be in danger.
He was the eldest son of the Marquis of Clanri-
carde by the Hon. Herriet Canning, only daughter
of the late Right Hon. George Canning, the dis-
tinguished statesman. lie was born on the 12th of
July, 1827, and had, therefore, just entered his
41st year. In March, 1846, he entered the army
as ensign in the Coldstream Guards. He served
with his regiment in the Crimean campaign of
1854, and was present at the battle of the Alma
and the siege of Sebastopol, where he was taken
prisoner in front of the trenches before daylight on
the morning of tai 22d of October. By command
of the Emperor chola3 Lord Dunkellin was re-
moved to St. Petersburg, and was liberated before
the termination of the war, his father, Lord
Clanricarde, being well known to the Emperor from
having been several years British Ambassador at the
Imperial Court. From 1846 to 1852 Lord
Dunkellin was aide-de-camp to the Lord-Lieutenant
of Ireland, and in January, 1853, was appointed
State Steward of the Lord-Lieutenant's household.
In 1856 he proceeded to Calcutta to fill the ap-
pointment of Military Secretarral of Indiay to his uncle, Lordng
Canning, then Gov Gene
Duri
his sojourn in India he served on the staff of Gen.
Sir James Outrain during the Persian expedition
he was
of
1856-7. On his return to England in 1857
elected member for Galway, which borough he had
successfully contested in 1852, and at the last
general election in 1865 he was elected for the
county of Galway. L)rd Dunkellin's course in Par-
liament was remarkable for one extraordinary
achievement. In committee on Lord Russell's mea-
sure of Parliamentary Reform in June, 1866, he
moved his memorable amendment to clause 5, pro-
viding that, the rating instead of the rental value
should be considered in estimating the amount re-
quired for the franchise, which be carried by a
• majority of 11 against the Government. The re-
sult of this division was the resignation of the Rus-
sell Government. Lord Dunkellin was unmarried,
and his brother, Lord Hubert do Burgh Canning,
is now heir to the title and estates of the Marquis
of Clanricarde. In his regiment, in Parliament, in
Ireland, in India, and in society Lord Dunkellin was
' universally popular ; his abilities were far above the
average, and, being embellished by a ready wit and
a keen sense of humour, would probably have led
him to high distinction had not his career been
crippled and ultimately cut short by constant ill
ealth.
