The whole nation was profoundly touched by the sad circumstances of Lord Dufferin's death. It is a terrible pity that the last hours of the great public servant who has had the most, wonderful career as a diplomatist, and Colonial Gorernor ever known, should have been cloud~ ed by so sordid a scandal as that of the "Globe" failures; but no one ever doubted for a moment that, however blameworthy he may have been in allowing himself to be used as a figure-head by unrupulous company-promoters, be. himself was incapable of a dis honourable action, and events will no doubt prove that ho was himself one of the greatest sufferers the failures. Viscount Clandeboye, second son, who became his heir after the sad death of the Earl of Ava at Ladysmith, will, it is expected, have but a limited income to sustain the dignity of the Karldom and Marquisate which were successively conferred upon his father. The new Marquis, who is married to an American Jady who is a great favourite in society, has at present tro daughters, but no son to inherit the titles.
