The Duke of MONTROSE died yesterday morning. his Grace was

Lord Justice-General of Scotland, Lord-Lieutenant of Dunbarton- shire and Stirlingshire, Lord Chancellor of Glasgow University and a Knight of the Garter. Under the Liverpool Administration he was Master of the Horse. Ministers have now an opportunity of giving Liberal Lords-Lieutenant to two Scottish counties ; And we presume they will not throw it away. It is really hard upon the Tories, that both the Duke of GORDON and the Duke of Mosanose should die be- fore their friends could regain office. The Standard will cry out again that delay is dangerous—" more Whig personnel ! " and then, only think of the Garter!
