PERSONAL.

The Marquis of Chaudos, who, accompanied by
the Marehoness arrived in this country by the Asia,
and is now staying at the Clarendon, route for
Canada is the eldest scn of the DIXIE of Buckingham
and Chandos and is held in England in the highest
spect for the unequaed and in these days OF econo-
mists and caculatoIs romantic sacrifice ne has made
on the altar of honesty. His father was noted, when
MARQUIS of Cbandos and member for BuckiDghamshirs
in the Houte Of Commons, az leader par excellence
of the agricultural interest. Hh princely palace Of
Stowe bis immense landed posst ssons, bis Parsmsnt
any influence having the command of Eve seats, and
biz descent from the Plantagsnes seemed TO mark him
out the most fitting leader Of the country gentlemen
Of England and they all occasions gathered with
hearty loyalty round his plume. II goodly sight
TO see him. his motion for the repeal Of the Malt
Tax each Session, go into he lobby backed by some
hundred and fifty usty squireC, the Msnnerses, and
the Lennoxes, and the stout heart Of Mr.. Buck of
Devon and the pleasant presence of Walter Long
After bis accession TO TIE title of Duke Of Buckng-
ham, which occurred on the death Of his father in
1892 he was induced to accept seat in the Cabinet OF
Sir Robert Peel, its formation the overthrow Of
Lord John Russels Administration in 1884, He did
not, however, long remain in the Government having
resigned in consequence Of some concessions made
by Sir Robert Peel 70 Canadian interests
which he deemed inconsistent with his principles of
protection to home produce. Not long after the
catastrophe which led to the fall of this noble English
house. In bis thirst principally for the acquisition of
increased landed property he borrowed large sums of
money at usurious interest which plunged him into
sea Of debt and difficulty To redeem his father from
this condition and the honor of bis house, the
present Marquis On reaching the age of 81 joined the
Duke in cutting off the entail and thus rendering the
whole property liable for tue debts. The consequence
was the memorable sale Of Stowe, which attracted pur-
cbasers from every part of Europe, and also OF the
| princely hereditary estates. What gave more
melancholy character to this wreck, was the cir
cum stance that but short time previous the Duke
had received at Stowe the Queen, his sovereign, with
a splendor of hospitality and baronial magnicence,
which had never been equaled an the olden time
Since the ruin Of his house, the Duke has abandoned
himself TO the most dssipated courses, living in open
adultery with one Of the female attendants on the
house of Lords and having been more than once
brought before the Police Court for nebrety. In con-
seouepce of these horrible excuses however brought
on the Duchess, who was daughter Of the Marquis
! of Breadalbaue obtained divorce from the Duke in
! 1850 If a career, however of Singular purity and
honor ond of untiring industry and a5le admiastra-
/ ton Of the different departments which
! he has been placed, can redeem the infamy
of bis father, and compensate for tho loss OF
wealth and hereditary possessions, the Marquis OF
Chandos has Effected both. There isno English noble
man atthe pres mt moment whe commands, in higher
degree the respect and admiration of the British pub
lie. Lord Cbandos served as Lord Of the Treasury
under the fret administration of Lord Derby with die
tinctiop. Mr. Disrael having taken occasion, in biz
great dying speech the budget 10 acknowledge the
obligation of the Government TO him for his services
His admirable business habits and administrative
pacity recommended him to the Directors of the Lon
don and Birmingham Railway for the chairmanfhip Of
the line Oh the retirement of the late Gen. Arson and
he has since presided that powerful and important
corpontion Tie Marquis Is but thirty years
old and was married in 1851 TO the daughter of Robert
Harvey of Langley Park, Buckingham, by whom he
has several children.
