Cnrt f 4yor and Terminer Judges Pclroe 1 and I'uMiit TTIils morning the prison tock contained a single Inmate, Marshall K. Evans, who ws before the bar of the Jourt to answer for the life of his father, Thomas 1. Evans, which It If) alleged he took feloni ously in Autcust last in Tontli -street, .below Pine. Tlil prisoner Is a young man of medium stature, fair complexion, aamlf luilr and beard, and soft blno eyes, and a.ujlld, gentle looking you ny man. Ills maimer bespoke a respectable and refined breeding, Ms lress was neat, and lie conducted himself wlUi the greatest composure and apparent self-control, lie was represented by Uenorul C. H. T. Collls anl Judjre William 8. Strong. The questions of conscientious scruples upon the unbjcct of capital punishment Indicated that the Commonwealth would ask for a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. There was but little challenrlng, and a Jury was obtained from .the regular patwil and sworn to try the issue. District. Attorney Gibbons opened the cafe for the Commonwealth, ktating the lacfis of the case as he 'xpeot,ed to prove them: on thea-Uh of August last Thomas I Evtirw was living at the house of Mr. Uelcher, No. B(W S. Tenth street, and soon after breakfast on that morning the prisoner, his son, ap proached him, revolver in liauil.aiidllred live separate ilischargcs Into hi body, and he expired in re moments. This won onu of the Hiuideitt events that had ever occurred iu this community, the case of a Hon oooliy and deliberately takln tte life of a kind and Indulgent father; no provocation had been given, ami the last words spoken by tlio dying man were words of affection and soiioKinin for hlsran. To this cluirge the pv'soticr had pleaded not gitilVv, nnd it was not for the Commonwealth to anticlpato Ills defence; the witnesses would therefore bo at once examined and the cit'i'timstanuuti of the re volting deed be laid buHTe the Jurv, Dr. E. 11. Klinplelgh, Coroner's physician, sworn I made a poet mortem examination of the body of Thomas L. Kvans on the 24!h of August luet and dis covered live gunshot wot nds; four of theve wounds were In the trunk of the body, two of them neces sarily fatal, and two very dangerous, though not ne cessarily mortal; the tilth wound was in the middle of the right foot, and not noilal : the abdomen was filled with bipod, and the immediate cause of death was hiemorrimjte and the shock received by l lie riystcm; the deceased came to his deat h by violence earned by the wounds I have described; I made the examination early in the forenoon, and I believe the corpse was not entirely cold.

No cross-examination. Here the Commonwealth closed. The Defense-Insanity. General Collls opened the case for the prisoner, reading from our penal code the dcUtiitlou of mur der, which says that the perpetrator, In order to bo liable to the penalty of death, must be a person of Bound memory, will, and discretion. Though, tak ing the case as most strongly against his client, he would admit that the Jury must primarily presume him to be sane, yet it would be shown by the most conclusive proof that at the time of this heart-rending occurrence he was a ravlug mudiuau, and u un countable for his acts. General Collls then proceeded to give the follow ing grephio narrative ol the prisoner's malady: Martshiill Key Kvans is about :18 years (it aa. Daring more than halt of Ida life ho bun bnen ulllkted with chionio rheumatism, which hug so crippled him as to partially ilo- E rive bim of the u-e of both feet. This pliysioul inhnuity us in time produced its almost invariable result, u diHeaoed mind. In this particular cuae the disease lias aNDiimod the uliuructer ot halliiaiimtiuiis ami delusions, and first a'atmed bis family and friend about eighteen months or two years a;?r. At that time ho uas in business with Mr. Churlea M. Durrickaon at tho cornor of RiilKe avenue and Kiriinr Harden street. Mr. Dorriekson will toll you that at that time so alarming; bocamn his con duct that ha w a unable to leave him alone in chawo of the atore: that his father, the deceased, found it noos aary to call tor and take his fou horae in the evoniiiv; and t hat ultimately Mr. Dorrickson was compelled to dissolve his partnership with ttio prisoner owma to the derange. 1 condition of his mind. At thin period his insanity mini d'Bted itself in the belief that no was bein don roil and pursued by limn who dusnod to take bin liie or do him Borne bodily hnrio. lie suspected every mini whom bo aaw lonennp in the streets, anu armed niuisuii tor his protection. , IU I,, - vwa kil??V?f ' - "" although oocasionally Kn('w ' ,-u mind ward observed by tiiose who .

Post, the physician who attended the child iu its last illness, will relate to you much belter ttetn 1 can the evi dences of insanity winch lie developed during the period of that domestic ultbction. convincing this professional Rentlnmsn beyond all doubt that he was at that time of unsound mind. Mr. Hrinithurst, tuo undertaker who in terred bis child, will detail to you the strange conduct tf the prisoner upon that occjsiou, which so impressed Mr. Hriuirhurst that tie will not lies tat e to eipress the opinion that he was t hn insane. 1' or some t hue alter this tiie prisoner's mind was filled with the idea that certain parlies desired to obtain possession of his child's body ; he went to Laurel Hill, bad the lid of the eoltin removed and satisfied himself that the remains of his child were still there. He did not tell the KiiperinUndent at the oeine tery why ha did this, but with all the cunnimr of a luuanc assumed that it was simply to satisfy a fatherly care over the remains of his child; be did, however, contide to a person whom he trusted beyond all others, why he had done this. It was because tie behoved his wifo'a father would spend $JtKI to (jot possession of the body. From this period down to the sad occurrence which brings him to the bar of this court he was out ot employ ment, and his mind relapsed into tlut morbid condition which culminated in insanity of the worst and most dan bamiim .Vi.ri.iAr 11 a mihitei'tod everybody around him. Iiis suspicions beine the most intense asainst those who were most closely allied to him by blood or social ties. He believed that his time had come and that his lile was to be , lWen by members of hia own family who had conspired l.Al hur In lliul nnrtui Recently the prisoner had resided witi bis father, three 1 Bisters, and Miss tiolcher, the lady who mansKed the household at No. VOtiBouth Tenth street; the only ulber . inmate of the house was the domestic, Kii.a Klliutt. On ' haturdar, the illst of August last, Mrs. Kvans, the wife of the nriioner. paid a viaiL to her nnoln. Mr. Steulien N. Winslow, the proprietor of the Philadelphia (,'ummereial I it, who resides at Kiverside, N. J. The prisoner re mained at hia father's bouse that night, and at 11 o'clock Mlarmeft the family by renortinv thar. a man had anlHrnd the bouae throOffU the iVan.rirwi in l.hfl liai'k attic room, and that he had heard him. Search was made hy the family, withrut, nt roiirae, fin din anvboitv. DnrloB this time the prisoner was very much e cited and wild, so miirh so that his father did not permit him to remain alone, but made him eome down to the third story and aleep in his room : he talked to his father wildly about men being after his life, twit hia father not encouraging bira in this, he became si km and sullen i he did not. sleep dnrine tne whole of that night, bat got out of bed twice and eat on the floor; he inft the house very early the nest morn ing, and took the boat at Cbesnut street wharf for rteverly, which Is four miles from Kiverside; he was met at lieverly by Mr. Winslow, hia wile'i nncle; Mr. Winslow will tell yon that the prisoner was very much eioited, so much so that he asked him if he bad been drinking. He replied no; he hadn't tasted a drop; and then in an incoherent and wild maoner described an imaginary trouble be had had with a man who insulted him and tried to rob him while he was waiting at Walnut street wharf. He said to Mr. Winslow, "If you had been there you would have cut bun to pieces." Mr. Winslow apprsciatirg bis condition, gently remiaded him that the boat left from Chemiit, street an i not Walnut street whart. To this be made no reply, excepting that he had not slept for several nichts. and tht he ttuiuht . full glass of whisky would do him ir.xid. VT. Window thereupon took him to tbi hotel; hut instead of drinking a full glassof whisky, be tpok barely a thimblefiiU ; during the drive in .Mr. Wins-lo-v'a wagon from lieverl,v to Kiverside he again reiterated the occurrence at Walnut street wharf, and complained bitterly that some one was always pursuing him, adding i im- i iiw niwn.ts wcul, prepared 10 ueienu Himself, and ex- I hibtting to Mr. Winslow the shoetnakei's Unite which lias been put in evidence; his conduct continued morose, ill natured, snd remarkably simruhir, to use Mr Winslow's ' own hinKuaur, during the nest of theday: after tea ho com- , plained of a cramp in his stouiach, bclieviinj himself to have been poisoned, nnd very early in theovening retired to his room with his wile, in advance of any other member I ol the family. Wlmt happened in thnt room during that fearful night, I shall not be permitted to disclose to you. His wife, who nee the only witness present- is not allowed to lie heard in ! this rase, but, gentlemen, when .yon have heard what fol lowed t'us upon the next, da), you will be able to form some Kb' ot thediingeroiisordenl through which thit p-sir woman passed, anil )un will believe witn me that between sunset iw d sunrise she had lived through a lifotimo of most haxrowine dread nnd suspense. Hilling the mgiit Air. Winslow a sleep was disturbed hv noises in this room, and so much was Mrs. Winslow alarmed ti it she went to the room door, and anxious to ascertain the cause of this unusual disturbance, endea vored to look tluouph tho key hole, but found it had boon fdoipod iv. 1-nrly the next morning. Mr. Winslow will trllfou.hewrntto the bed room which bad been occu jiiod 1 y thoi-risonorand hit wife, and found the contents ot thorioni in utter contusion, itecoming alarmed he went in pm-vit of the prisoner, assisted by the servants anil the members of his family, but was unablo to find either Kvnnsr hiflwife. Taking a hj ti.v breakfast he sfartnd for the railroad repot, which ji three or lour hundred yards from his house, and there ho found tho prisoner, balking wild, ex cited nnd crusty, holding his wife tiRhtly by the wrist, I while sue, poor cv.at tire, pnlo nnd bnxgard from her rest-let-a mght, witho-it bonnet or shawl, her hnir streaming I It osely down her shoulders, stood frightened H I bhng in his grawi. Alter some conversation, in whicli Mr. AViDslow expressed his opinion freely upon Kvans' 1ehavioi', Mr. iiislowaud the prisoner got on tho train and iiimeto rhiliul-dphin. Mrs. Kvans returned to the bouse, piomising to a'ime down in the next train. Ariiving in I'liiladel.ihia, tliej prisoner immediately re fjiiired to llr. Hosey's. at 1 Itl.i Arcn street, and uiiniired of the servant whether tin doctor was in. Althnugu told ho xur not in, he walked info the parlor, examined his face and mouth at tho looking-glass, and told the servant, in a wild and excited ir.aimi r. that ho had been poisoned, put'ityi his bands upon his stomach to indicate Unit, ho sufteiod pain. He loft there, saying he would return in a short time. Ho did not return, however, but went at once toliis fatlier'sphyaiciiu:. Dr. A'and.vke, in finest reet, nbove'lejith, where he rung tfcn boll violently, nnd being admitted, rushed hurriedly up stairs to the doctor's oth ;o, and conuuenoed impatiently pu."iug tbe door 10 and fro. Dr. Vcndyke, who was eating his lireakfast iu tho room below, being attracted by his rer!ossnes, and by tho an nouncement tbat he was the son of Thomas L. Kvans, loft his hrcakliiat taldo and went up stuira to Dim. Kvans met linn at tho otllco door with the excited remark:"! have been poisoned ; can yon cure mo?'1 The doctor, anxious, of course, to hear Ins wholocase beloro ho vontured any advice, flsUcd him tho circumstances, to which the pri soner responded : "The less yon ask about that the better, tor you might have to tell more than yon wonhi 'liko come time;" the doctor supposing this alluded to some domestic matter, assured him he did not want to pry into b family manors. Tbe rr sonor thsn avain excitedly at.ktd, "Can yoa euro mn; can you do notiiiog Jor roe?" wbereiiion the do, lor made him sit. down, and askod him the usual questions, with the view of ascertain ing from the symptoms what th.iracter of poison, if any, be had taken: in answor te these unestions, prisoner stated that he had come down from Kivorside to sea tho doctor; that on tho day before at dinner ho had eat''ii poison, and allowed thedoctorn soreon his under lip, which ho said was caused by it, but which, the Joctor will tidl you, looked as though caused by compressing the lip oper tho teeth, or by a nervous biting of the inside of the bp. Ho told the doctor he "had not slept joc several nights," that he " had a pain over the bowels, but no loose nfss of bowels;" that he had ' eaton a portion of a cigar to make him vomit oil the poison, anil that he had vomited " After examining his patient with a great deal of scrutiny and can;, his conversation, his manner, his look, and his whole demeanor salislled him that he labored under an insane delusion, and hail not baen poisoned at nil. lie assured Evans that h. coald cure him, which assurance seemed to satisfy him, gave him a simple wash for his mouth, and advlsad him to take rest. During tills Interview at Dr. Van dyke's, there came another ring at tho door-bell, which greutly aggravated the excitement of tho uu fortuuute prisoner, who, rushing to the otllco door anil koklng down stuirg, inquired nervously, " U it anybody after Just ns ho was leaving the doctor's ho drew from IliB pocket the shoemaker's knife, told the doc tor he bad had it in his hand all niuht, and with the glare and manner of a maniac, described bow ho would have used it, in ease of necessity. Dr. Vandyke will toll yoa that he now beenmo alunnud for his own personal safety, and kept his eye closely upon tho prisoner until he had loft the house. I need not say to you, gentlemen, and 1 sup pose I will not be peioiittu. I to prove the fact, but injus tice to Dr. Vandyke it ought t be known that ho at once communicated this sad discovery to tho members of the priboiioi'Bfamily. How it was roceivod, or what action tho piieonei's lather determined to take in conseiiuonco of this professional information, tho law will not permit me to disclose ; but as men of common sense you, gentle men can presumo what a prudent parent would have dons under the circumstances. The next morning )r. Vandyke was told that a young man had shot his father in the neighborhood, and he immediately, in his own mind, real ized who were tho parties to the sad event. We next tiud him at his father's house. Miss Bolchor first met him and bade hi in good morning, and asked him how he felt. He told her the story of the poison, accusing his wife and her uncle of administering it, to lnm. Aliss lielcher remonstrated with him, but tw replied only by reiterating bis delusion nnd insisting that, when his wile arrived, she should not bo admitted to the house. He in ouirvd for his sistors and was told tlut they were in the third story. He went to thorn and in an excited end mysterious manner exclaimed :"l have been poisoned; don't toll i Julia (moaniiiK his younger sister). Ho showed them his lip, iind accused his wife of poisoning him in a lit of ! jealousy. He now described partially wuat hud happened 1 between his wile ami himself, during the preceding night at Rivsrside deseriidng how be had held her ' tightly all night with one hand, while witli tbe other he hold the knife at her throat, and lel ioi as though relieved, that no bluod had been ahed. "I was j afraid one or tho other of us would have to go." His 1 poor sisters became terribly alarmed. They believed that their own brother was indeed n raving maniac His wife ' arrived shortly after thia, and she gave bor account of what took place at Riverside iiKin that fearful night. As I said before, gent lomen, you are not permitted to hear her statement of it, whicli I much regret. He met his wife pleasantly enough, and she, like u true woman, en deavored to minister to his malady, preparing lor him a I hou nillow and other such things, ail of which be ntr. i eistently declined to use, but left the house, forbidding his w Ho to accompany him. He returned home with his father at dinnar time and there it wai Mr. Kvaua beard, for tho first time, what bad happened at Riverside during the previous night, 'the prisoner was very roatless and excitable during the whole of that afternoon, becoming more so towards evening, aud partaking of little or no nourishment during the whole time. Alter toil, thodoccased wont to Dr. Vandyke's and procured some medicine lor his son, but the sou refused to tnkc it when offered to him. About !! o'clock the fami ly retired, Mr. Kvans taking his son to his rwn room. from that hour until daylight in the morning the prison er's conduct was that of a maniac, ho threatened Id take his father's life: accused his father of being in leagua with bis sister against him ; said he waa going to have it out, ami that ii bis father attemptod to get up he would throw the pitcher at him; rushed down stairs with the pitcher in bis hand, nnd seized tho knife which lie bad left in the sitting room: his father followed ti mi. and they remained down stairs together until 3 or 3 o'clock in the morning, when tho prisoner rushed wildly t)i stairs to tho front attic ami shut the dixx violuiitly. iiis poor fatuor entrooted him to come dow n, biuj In vain, t he prisoner having secured tho bolts of Ida loitn, as we shall .show you, with his tooth-brush anu a wedge maue irom a piece or a cigar " . , not permitted lo 'Show you - . f am ! consultation hold botw-- . result of tho Borrow-strii l" ou mis afliictod father and the to ' jouncr girls; but, you may rely, they came . orekfast table that morning convinced that some Bfr.i, l, iii ml once lie taken for their own personal satet.v. At breakfast the prisoner continued sullen and merose, and ate little or nothing. What happened after breakfast yon rave already Heard. vve iiiuiK, gentlemen, we caiinuiciy asa you, alter proving ull these lucts, that you relieve this unfor tunate man from all responsibility of this deed with out leaving tho jury-box, If the Commonwealth's oilicers themselves do not direct you so to do. I mean this literally, for it mav be some comfort to these amii'teii lauies 10 teel that no doubt existed upon tne minus oi tins jury even lor a moment of time. 1'enm.ylvaniu statutory offonso of murder. Common law delinitiou of minder. "(SiHinil memory and discretion." We admit the killing. We deny sound memory and discretion. Thia phrase means that "if the prisoner Wbored tinder a disease of tho lliiuI sulticient to prevent him from exsr cisin proper control over his actions " he lacks tho essen tial element of responsibility lor tins olfense. I state the rule most severely against my ollont when I aay 1. That you must presumo him to have been sane. !i. That the burdi n is upon us to show you beyond rea sonable doubt that he was not of sound mind. htepliun K. Wiu.low sworn -in August last I resided at Riverside, Now Jeisey ; the prisoner married my niece: on Kuitday, August ill, the prisoner came down to Riverside to see bis wile, aud 1 met liim when he came otT theboatt 1 not iced that he was paler ttiau usual, and was nervous und excited; tasked him what was the matter, and be said he bad not slept any the night before; 1 told bim be bad belter take something, to which he replied that he thought a glass full of whisky would do bim good; 1 tis.k him to a bdul, whore, instead of taking a glass full, he drank only ubouta thiuihle-full, and then we started to nry house in my carriage. He here told me that some cue had abused anu inmllod him, aud attempted to rob him when the boat loft Walnut street whar,', and that if 1 had been there he would have cot rha men to niacoi. drawing open his coat and showing me a shoemaker's Wuife. which he said b would hava nl I reminded liim that the boat led Cbesnut street wharf, and not Walnut street, aud that it was rather cowardly to carrysucha weapon: he replied mat persons were toiislaully pursuing him to injure bim. During the rest of the ride be waa nllen ; after supper he walked re and down the lawn, oomplaining of . pain in bis stomach, and sayinathat be had been poisoned at the supper knble; I (iffernd him several remedies, hut he refused peremptorily to take anything; he retired with hia wifecpiHe airly, about I o'clock . in advance of the rest Of the family ; about midnight my wife amused tne, and said t here was a noise in tbe prisoner's room; I waa again disturbed hya rise coming from that room; 1 went to the room Beit morning, and the prisoner arid bis wife had left it before tt o'clock ; I found everything in confusion, the aarpets torn op at the corners, trunks pulled nut into the floor, and the table removed from the corner in which it usually stood into the middle of the room ; I bad a searcn made for the prisoner sod his wife, but without success ; after break fast 1 went to the railroad station about three bnndred yards distant, and found them inside tie station, be holding her by Hie hand; she bad nothing on but an old Sown and pair of slippers, and her hair waa streaming own her hack: tasked bim why he had not made bis appearance at breakfast, and bis wife anawered that he was unwell; at that moment the train appeared, and he took ia seat in the car just in front of me, and was very sullen during the trip; I parted from him at Front and Walnut streets, and did not see bim again until he was in the lock-up; his conduct certainly waa very erratic, but I am hardly competent to judge of his condition. Cross-examined-1 did not ascertain whether Ms state ments were true or false; his con iuet on that particular day was so extiaordinsry as at once to arrest my hi tention ; be was not, to my knowledge, addicted to drinking; his wife did not accompany him to town, but came down in the nxl train; I made no communication of tliiso'cui renee to his family ; my impression on that day wae that his mind was ilernnged ; lie is naturally of tt cheerful dis jtfsitic n.

I inquired no further into tins; be said he had tasted ometliing sour in his dinner the day before, nod sh tned mo a ore on the inside of bis lip, which looked to me as if it had been produced by a constnnt, practice of compress ing his lip against his teeth, and not hy any corrosive poi son ; he said he had some pain in bis stomach, hut bis coun tenance save no evidence of any sulierini; I aske 1 if the poison had caused him to vomit or purge, and he re plied that he had vomited freely by having eaten the half of a cigar; 1 discovered no symptom of poison ; I esuie to the conclusion that he was derangod in bis mind, and to'.d him I thought I could give him something that could cure liim, which seemed to quiet bim; be would repeat edly ask me in an excited manner, "Can you cure lne? can you euro me?" during this conver Fation tho bell rang, and ho jumped np and leaned forward and asked wildly, ' Is any one after us.

A large omnibus, with six horses attached, is at City Llall ready to carry policemen wherever their services may be required. The excitement, such as it is. Is confined entirely to tbe local tickets.

It is estimated that over 40,000 votes will be polled there. The Evening htmrrat claims 14,000 majority ou the 6tate ticket.

The Times to-day, in lis money article, comments on the rapid increase of importations of wheat from the United Statos. Tho most Interesting question, the writer says, is the extent to which it can ho kept up in com petition with Russia and Central Europe when the railways in that section are fully developed. The great iUcstlon for the United States to con sider in this connection is the reduction of freight and other charges, and the enlargement of communications with the Mississippi. The Anrz Cnnnl.

WastiiiiKton correspondence of the New York Herald savs: Secretary lioutwell and Solicitor Hanlield, or tltc Treasury Department, were closeted Willi the Presi dent for a Ioiir time to-day. It is understood that the matter under consideration was the recent visit of the Solicitor to New York concerning tho exami nation Into the charges against Ucncrul liutteriield. It is reported that Solicitor Hutuicld prepared a written report. Mr. lioutwell savs this is not trim. All the report made was a verbni one to the Secre tary, the main points of which were rehearsed to the President to-day. The trouble is, there has been no formal Investigation ordered lntieneral llut terileld's case.

In the meantime Mr. Hour well la still on thu limit Tor an Assistant Treasurer. All tho gentlemen to whom It has been tendered Save declined it, with the exception fit is S'lid of Charles J. Foljjer. The story at the Treasury Department is tliut he is turning the inatrer over in his mind. Hut it is feared that if he learns us much about the Sub-Treasury as Cisco ii'itl Van Dyck know, ho will follow tho example of the other kou tlemen and decliae. The chief trouble about the oillce is that the Assistant Treasurer is not, only re sponsible for Ills own conduct, but for that of every clerk In his oillce. If a clerk absconds with f amis entrusted to him the Assistant Treasurer must make it good. General liul terlield has ucasa now pend inn in the department, where one of tho clerks run oir with several hundred dollars. 1'iider tlice arrangements few capable, honest men want the oillce. OBITUARY. Sir Richard tilosvenor, dlimiuis or W'est iiilnnter. A despatch from London dated yesterday reports the death of the Marquis of Westminster, iu the sevcnty-lifth year of his age. The deceuscd noble man wus horn on the 27th of Januarv, 1T15, his father being Sir Robert, who was created Marquis of West minster in 1S81. The family is one of the oldest ami most distinguished in Great tiritaln, descending from illustrious ancestors who nourished in Nonuuudy as far back ns the year 912, and were fudireetlV related to William the Conqueror, with whoiii the founder of the English (jrosvenors came over to Knglaiid. The Immediate ancestors of the late Mar quis were first ennobled in ltiiii, when Sir Richard Grosvenorwas created a baronet. In ltiil another Sir Richard was elevated to the peerage by the title of llaron Grosvenor or1-:atot, county palatine of Chester, and in 1784 was advanced to the dignities of Viscount lielgravc and Karl Grosvenor. The subject of this sketch wus not distinguished in politics, al though he possessed a great tleulot Influence. J lo succeeded his fatUerln February, lsjc, becoming tlie possessor of probably the largest estate In Kngland. ills wealth wus enormous, yielding, It is said, an an nual Income of nearly three millions of dollars. The manner in which this vast fortune was obtained was remarkable. The ilrst Karl Grosvenor was in comparatively slender circumstances, but was t lie owner of a large tract of low, marshy land in Westminster, which yielded li tin but little and which was regarded us of little valee. The rapid growth of London towards the land attracted the attention of u master builder mimed Cublit, who leased a iiiiiiiIht of the unpro ductive acres, turned them lulu city lots and began f reetitiK houses. Tho value of lhe property now In- f itaseil w'.tii marvellous rapidity. ( pou I was built tho present aristocratic portion Of London known us l'imlico und lie'gravia. Cubit ucquired Immense wealth by his enterprise: but the lucky owner ob tained the lion's share. Iu a few years, It is stated, the lots leased oy Cublit will revert to the present owner, whose fortune will then be increased to pro bably ?i,0(.o,io0 per annum. We have already remarked that the deceased no bleman whs not distinguished lu politics. It iiuj also be said that he was distinguished for his wealth ulone, und fur nothing more. He was at one time Lord Steward of the Household, and was i.ord 1 leutenmit and Custos Roiuloruni of tne county of Chester ul tho tlmo of Ills deuth. In the House of Lords lie wus known as u kind of conservative libe ral, who cured less for politlcul questions than for his vast property. Ills eldest son and heir, however, who now succeeds to the title und estuto, Hugh Lupus, Earl Grosvenor, lias been for some years prominent as a member of i'arliuiuent In the liberal interest. He Is regarded as a man of line ability, has travelled extensively and was conspicuous during the recent reform agitation iu England by his refusal to vote for the liberal measure. .V. Y. llcrahl.
