The Peerage sustains a third loss in a single week,

in the person of the Marquis of Northampton ; who died yesterday morning, at Castle Ashby. The Marquis was father-in-law of Viscount Alford; and the death of that young nobleman prot ed a severe shock to the sensitive temperament of his relative. The sympathies with science and literature of the de- ceased nobleman are well known. He leaves four sons and daughters , and is succeeded in his titles and estates by his eldest son, the Earl of Compton.
