The Duke of Beaufort died on Thursday, at Badminton, from

an at- tack of gout in the stomach. He was in his sixty-first year. In his youth he served on the staff of the Duke of Wellington, and was for a few months a prisoner of war. When Marquis of Worcester he sat in the House of Commons as one of the Members for Gloucestershire ; but his reputation as a politician was eclipsed by his fame as a sportsman. By the elevation of his eldest son to the Peerage, the representation of East Gloucestershire is vacant.

Another death occurred on Thursday—that of the Princess Nicholas Esterhazy, the eldest daughter of the Earl and Countess of Jersey. She had been ill for some time, and after trying the baths at Ischl and Ems, was ordered to Torquay, where she died.
