OBITUARY.

THE MARQUESS OF BUTE. March 18. At Cardiff Castle, Glamor. ganshire, in his 55th year, the Most Noble John Crichton-Stuart, second Marquess of Bute, Earl of Windsor, co. Berks, and Viscount Mountjoy in the Isle of Wight (1796), third Baron Mountstuart of Wortley, co. York (1761), and second Baron Cardiffe of Cardiffe Castle, co. Glamorgan (1776), all dignities in the peerage of Great Britain; sixth Earl of Dumfries and Lord Crichton and Cumnock (1633), Viscount of Ayr (1622), and twelfth Lord Crichton of Sanquhar (1487-8), fifth Earl of Bute, Viscount of Kingarth, Lord Mountstuart, Cumra, and Inchmarnock (1703), in the peerage of Scotland; a Baronet of Nova Scotia (1627), KT. Keeper of Rothsay Castle, Lord Lieutenant and Heritable Coroner of the county of Bute, Lord Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum of the county of Glamorgan, Colonel of the Glamorganshire Militia, High Steward of Banbury, a Governor of King's College, London, a Director of the British Institution, Vice-President of the Royal Cambrian Institution; D.C.L. F.R.S. F.S.A. and F.R.A.S.

His Lordship was born on the 10th of August 1793, and was the elder son of John Lord Mountstuart (eldest son of John first Marquess of Bute), by Lady Elizabeth Penelope Crichton, only daughter and heir of l'atrick fifth Earl of Dumfries.

On the death of his maternal grandfather, April 7, 1803, he succeeded to the Earldom of Dumfries, and the other dignities of peerage belonging to the family of Crichton; and on the 26th of August 1805 he received the royal licence to assume the surname of Crichton before that of Stuart, and bear the arms of Crichton quarterly with the arms of Stuart, pursuant to the proviso and condition expressed in a deed of tailzie of his great-uncle William, sometime Earl of Dumfries and Stair.

The Earl of Dumfries was educated at Eton, and at Christ's college, Cambridge, where the degree of M. A. was conferred upon him in the year 1812.

On the 26th Nov. 1814, by the death of his paternal grandfather the first Marquess of Bute, he inherited that dignity.

In 18.. he was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Glamorganshire, and in 1843 he was nominated a Knight of the Thistle.

From April 1842 until the retirement of Sir Robert Peel from the head of the government, the Marquess of Bute was annually appointed to officiate as Lord

High Commissioner of the Church of Scotland.

Like his father, who married the heiress of the Earls of Dumfries, and his grandfather, who married the heiress of the Viscounts Windsor of Ireland, his Lordship took for his first wife a lady who, if she had given birth to children, would have transmitted to them the representation of a noble family. This was the Lady Maria North, eldest daughter and coheir of George-Augustus, third Earl of Guildford; the marriage took place on the 29th July 1818, and was terminated by the Marchioness's death, without issue, Sept. 10, 1841. After this occurrence, her younger sister Lady Georgina North having died unmarried in 1835, the Barony of North, created by writ in 1554, became fully vested in the second and only surviving sister, the Hon. Susan North, wife of Capt. John Sidney North (formerly Doyle), who is now the Baroness North.

The Marquess of Bute was remarried, on the 10th of April 1845, to Lady Sophia Frederica Christina Hastings, second daughter of Francis first Marquess of Hastings. An only son, the offspring of this marriage, was born on the 12th of September last, and is now the third Marquess of Bute, and seventh Earl of Dumfries.

In political opinions the Marquess of Bute was a Conservative; but, though never deficient in the performance of public, nor indeed of any duty, he seldom spoke in Parliament. In private life there never existed any nobleman or country gentleman more honoured for upright motives and judicious conduct, or more justly beloved for kind intentions and benevolence of heart. It will be recollected that Luton Hoo in Bedfordshire, one of his Lordship's family mansions, was destroyed by fire some few years ago, after which most of that part of the estate which did not lie in the town was sold. The inhabitants of Luton remember with affection the days when the deceased Marquess was their neighbour and friend. At Banbury he will also never be forgotten by the existing generation, as the staunch supporter of the Agricultural Association established for that town and neighbourhood, and of every good work. His personal friends in that quarter were numerous, and warmly attached Afflicted with a defective vision, his Lordship's letters in the days of franking were directed by the Marchioness.

His Lordship died at his seat at Cardiff,

a town not only enriched but almost created by his matcence, in the erection of docks, upen which he had expended upwards of 400,000. His Lordship had been enterta.ning a party of frien is at dinner at the Castle. At ten o'clock the party broke up, when the Marquess retired to his chamber. The Marchioness, who was in an adjoining room, having called to him and received no answer, proceeded to the apartment, where she found his Lordship lying lifeless on is bed. A disease of the heart had proved suddenly fatal.

His funeral. which took place on Thursday March 23, was more numerously aften led than a'most any on record. The whole of the habitants of Cardif and its populous neighbourhood seem to have turned out; their numbers being swelled by thousands from Merthyr Tydv.), Newbridge, Cowbridge, Bridgend, Newport, and other places, forming an immense multitude, all of whom conducted themselves with the greatest propriety. All places of business were entirely closed, and the private residences had their windowblinds drawn down. The shipping in the Bute Docks and Glamorganshire Canal had their colours half-mast high; while at the entrance to the Bute Docks "minute guns" were fired from an early hour in the morning. At about half-past nine the Castle gates were thrown open, and the vast procession was put in motion, consisting of the Odd Fellows of Cardiff district, Cardiff Benefit Society, the Foresters, Hibernian Society, Ancient Druids, Cardiff Amateur Band, Tradesmen, Gentry, Mayor and Corporation, Royal Glamorgan Band, Tenantry, &c. &c. The mourning coaches contained Lord James Stuart, M.P. Chief Mourner and Executor; A. Villiers Stuart, esq.; O. Tyndal Bruce, esq., and I. M. Macnabb, esq. executors; Rev. J. C. Campbell, Rector of Merthyr Tydvil, cousin of the late Marquess; Sir George Tyler, K.C.B. (married to the first cousin of the late Marchioness); J. Stuart Corbett, esq., and the Rev. M. Mitchell. The procession extended a mile and a half. The coffin was put on board the Star steampacket, followed by the mourners who would attend the funeral at Kirtling in Cambridgeshire.

ADMIRAL ROSAMEL.

March 30. At Paris, aged 73, Admiral Rosamel, former Minister of Marine.

He was born in the neighbourhood of Boulogne, and entered the merchant navy at the age of 13. In 1792 he was appointed midshipman on board a ship of the Republic, and assisted at the engagements fought between Villaret Joyeuse and

Admiral Howe on the 29th of May and the 1st and 2nd of June, 1794. He was taken prisoner in October 1798, after a battle between the fleets of Bompard and Admiral Warren. He was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant in 1802, in 1808 to that of Captain. He commanded the Ponone in 1811, when the French division to which he belonged was attacked in the Adriatic by an English force, and bravely defenced his ship for three hours; and it was only after he had lost 57 men, that his masts were overboard, and himself dangerously wounded, and with five feet of water in the hold, that he struck his flag. He was made Captain of the Imperial Navy in 1814, and occupied, during two years, the post of Major-General of the Navy at Cherbourg. He subsequently made several cruises in the Mediterranean and elsewhere, and was promoted in 1823 to the rank of Rear-Admiral, with the command of the South American station. In 1828 he took the command of the Levant squadron, in the absence of Admiral de Rigny; and in 1830, after assisting at the expedition to Algiers, he was sent to Tripoli to demand satisfaction from the Bey, which he obtained in 48 hours. He was appointed in Nov. 1830 Maritime Prefect at Toulon; Vice-Admiral on the 1st of March, 1831; and Minister of Marine on the 6th Sept. 1836, a post which he filled until the 30th of March, 1839. "A perfectly honest man," says the Moniteur, "Admiral Rosamel quitted the Ministry poorer than he had entered it; and he died leaving to his children no other fortune than the small patrimony he had himself received from his father."

This officer was appointed Ensign in the 66th foot in July 1781, Lieutenant 3d Aug. 1782; and afterwards exchanged the 15th Dec. 1783, to the 49th, in which he obtained a company in Oct. 1786.
