PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1861. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1861. “So much for Buckingham." On the 29(h July, in an obscure lodging off the Strand, in London—miserably poor and universally despised—died “ the most Noble, High and Highly Lord, Biciiaud Planta uf.net Temple Nugent Bkydoes Cuandos Grknvit.t.e, Duke of Buckingham and Clian dos (1822), Marquis of Buckingham (1781), Marquis of Cliandos and Earl Temple of Stowe (1822), Karl Temple (1749), Viscount and Baron Oobham (1718) in the peerage of tlio United Kingdom, and Earl Nugent in the peerage of Ireland, K.G., G.C.11., P.

He wns not a Temple hut a Grenville. Sir Bernard Burke, the genealogist, de clares that his claim to he a Temple was de rived simply from his being the representative of llester Temple, (eldest daughter of Sir Richard Temple, baronet, of Stowe), who, at the decease of her brother Richard, succeeded to the Viscounty of Cobham, and was after wards made Countess Temple. Among the existing male descendants of Litis same family of Temple, is no less a personage than Viscount Palmerston. The same authority tells us that, of all native-born British subjects, his Grace was, after the present reigning family, the senior representative of the Royal Houses of Tudor and Plantagenet. Thore have been numerous Dukes of Buck ingham, of different families and creations, — and many of them unfortunate. The younger sons of the Plantagenet Kings of England first were Earls of Buckingham. During the War of the Roses, the Staffords, descended from a younger son of Edward 111., murdered by order of Richard 11., were Dukes of Buck ingham, and several died on the scaffold. Humphrey, Duke of Buckingham, fell at the battle of Northampton, in 1400, lighting on the Lancaster side. His grandson, the next Duke, was beheaded at Salisbury, in 1-180, by order of Richard the Third—being the “ off with his head ” Buckingham of Siiakspeare —or, rather, of Giiiuer, for the celebrated and summary mandate is not to be found in the real play of “ Richard the Third.” This Buckingham's son founded Magdalen College, Cambridge, in 1519, and was executed for high treason in 1521, through the enmity of Cardinal Wolsey, and with him expired the ducal title in the familv of Stafford. .... .50 cent*. During the remaining part of tho rcigti of lleney VIII., and the reign of his three child ren, there was no Dukedom of Bucking ham. James the First revived it, in favor of his favorite George Villikrs, after the return of the latter from the love-expedi tion of Prince Charles, afterwards King, to Madrid. This parvenu Duke was assassinated by Felton, in August IG2B. His son, one of the most'profligate of men, the favorite of Charles 11., died miserably, in a wretched public house in a Yorkshire village, leaving just sufficient money to embalm his body, hut not to bury it. lie is the Zimvi of Dryden-'s satire, in which Ills character was sketched thus: Stiff in opinions, always in the wrong. Was everything by starts, and nothing long : But in the course of one revolving moon Was chemist, fiddler, statesman, and buffoon Then all for women, painting, rhyming, drinking, Besides ten thousand freaks that died in thinking! In squandering wealth was his peculiar art; Nothing went unrewarded hut desert. Beggared by fools, whom stiU.Se found too late, He had his jest, and they tuiddiis estate. Popfi. wliose wit was mores biting, if less massive than thus describes Buck ingham's death: ■' In the worst inn’s-worst room, with mat half hung, The floors of piaster and tho walls of dung, On once a flockbed, well repaired with straw, With tape-tied curtains never monnt to draw; Tho George and Garter dangling from that bed, * Whero tawdry yellow strove with dirty red, Great Villiors lies: alas! how changed from him, (hint life of pleasure and that soul of whim ! Gallant nnd gay. in Clieveden’s proud alcove, The bower of wanton Shrewsbury and love ; Or, just as gay, at council in a ring Of mimie’d Statesmen and thoir merry King. No wit to flatter left of all his store, No fool to laugh at. which ho valued more. Then, victor of his health, his fortune, friends, And fame, this lord of useloss thousands ends. Whoever has any curiosity about this profli gate, who hacl commanding talents, perfect maimers, and nearly every vice, may turn to “ The Wits and Beaux of Society, by Grace and Piiilii' Wharton,” lately published by Messrs. Harper, in which his life autl death are spiritedly and truly chronicled. The title died with him in 1688. There was next created another Duke of Buckingham, of the SiiKi-riELD family, who built Buckingham House in 1703, was alive in 1719, (as we learn from an old peerage of that date), hut died without male issue, when the title again became extinct. The Grenville family possessed large Landed estates in the county of Buckingham, as early as the reign of Hexey I. They maintained a high position among tho squirearchy until, in the reign of George 11., one of them, a Par liament man, .married Hester Temple, sister and heiress of Sir Richard Temple, of Stowe, Viscount and Baron Cobiiam. His patent of peerage gave special remainder, in default of male issue, to his sister, Hester, and her male descendants. Dying without issue, in 1749, his peerage descended to Ills sister, then Mrs. Richard Grenville, who, in the same year, was created Gountess Temple. This lady brought the vast estate of Stowe to her husband, and their eldest son, Richard Grenville, became Earl Temple on her death, in 1752. This was Die first uprise of the Grenvilles, oi Wootton, a younger branch of tho Gren villes, or Granvilles, of Devonshire, whose descent from Hollo, first Duke of .Normandy, is acknowledged in a warrant from CiiAnEs IX. to Sir John Grenville, Earl of Bath, autho rizing him to use the titles of Earl of Corboil, Thorigny, and Granville, which had been borne by his ancestor, Richard de Grenvillb, who died 1147. Richard, Earl Temple, owner of Stowe in addition to Wootton-under-Barnwood, and thereby master of half the county of Bucking ham, was a much more important personage than his father, who was simply a rich Com moner. lie resigned office with Pitt in 1761, in consequence of a dispute about the war with Spain, and this resignation estranged him from his brother George, who retained his office of Treasurer of the Navy under Lord Bute. Earl Temple was a person of haughty and imperious carriage, of arrogant temper, cold, selfish, and ambitious. To attain his personal objects he resorted to means not always justi fiable, and condescended to mis with persons of tainted character. John Wilkes was at one period one of his friends and boon com panions, and he supported this unprincipled demagogue both by his purse and by his in fluence, for which he was dismissed from the office of Lord Lieutenant of Bucks, but in 1765 became ministerialist, having been recon ciled to his brother. He had a difference with Pitt on the formation of the Cabinet of 1766, but ultimately acted again with him, and espoused his views, except on the American question, on which he supported his brother, and the Stamp Act. George Grenville be came M. P. for Buckingham through his uncle, Lord Cobham ; was a Lord of the Admiralty, Lord of the Treasury, Treasurer of the Navy, and in 1702, separating himself from his brother, Earl Temple, and Mr. Pitt, Secretary of State. From 1763 to 1765 he was First Lord of the" Treasury and Chancellor of the Exchequer. His three sons, George, Thomas, and William, were the three most distin guished men of their day, and in our own time the two younger are well remembered. Geohoe was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland; he was created Marquis of Buckingham, and. bo- Cftme Earl Nugent (the Nugent barony being conferred on his wife, and passing to their second son, thedate well-known Lord Nugent, M. P.); he was grandfather of the duke just deceased. The Right Hon. Thomas Gren ville, M. P., was First Lord of the Admiralty, Chief Justice in Eyre, who died, aged 91, in 1840, possessed of one of the most splendid libraries in England. William Wyndham, Lord Grenville, one of the most accomplished and tasteful .scholars in Europe, the eloquent orator and liberal statesman, was Chancellor of the University of Oxford, Auditor of the Ex chequer, &c., &c., and died in 1834, leaving a widow, a venerable lady, who still, at the ago of 90, lives, honored by all, at Dropmore. The second Earl Temple, grandfather of the Duke of Buckingham, whose death wc have here recorded, went as Viceroy to Ireland in 1782, with his brother, Mr. Windham Gren ville (afterwards Lord Grenville), as chief Secretary. lie remained a short time in this office, was created Marquis of Buckingham in 1784, and again became Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in 1787, which office he Held until 1790. During his second residence in Ireland, ayoung ensign, who then signed himself “ Arthur Westley,” which lie finally varied into Wel lesley, was one of his Excellency’s aids-de- camp. This young gentleman is known, in our days, as Arthur, Duke of Wellington. The London Morning Post says: “ Be tween the Marquis’s first and second viceroy ally he was four days Secretary of State in 1783, in the place of Mr. Fox—an appoint- ment which he owed partly to his being the son of the celebrated George Grenville, who was First Minister of the Grown in 1763, and partly to his icoimection with the Pitts, the Stanhopes, live' Cakysfop.ts, the Fortescues, the Braybro'okes. the Camelf®rd3, the Wynnes, and the Glastonburiks. In fact, the Temples intermarried, like the bouse of Ilapslnirg, with the oldest as well as the rich est houses, and henco their prodigious suc cess. During his second viceroyalty the Mar quis of Buckingham was very popular with the Homan Catholic party in Ireland. lie was ac companied 10 his new government by the Marchioness, the eldest daughter and heir of Lord Hugest, who was a Homan Catholic in creed, and tiiis lady rendered herself extreme ly popular among her coreligionists by acts of kindlinefs and beneficence. On retiring from Ireland, in the summer of 1789, the Mar quis of Buckingham continued to support the Administration of Mr. Pitt ; but, being disap pointed in his expectations of a dukedom, he became lukewarm, and afterwards took little part in public affairs. He continued to live at his magnificent residence at Stowe, playing the part of a grand seigneur in a style of princely hospitality, and there he received and lodged, at his own heavy cost and charge, for a consi derable time, not only the Counts r>E Pro vence and d’Artois (afterwards Lons X"V 111. and Charles X.), but their suites and many of the principal emigrants and clergy. Apart ments were als*> assigned to the Dues de Berri, Ouleaks. amt Eeaujot.ais, and a table was provided for tiie Koyal party distinguished for its smnptuousncss. 111, however, was this hospitality, which entailed on the Marquis an expenditure of many hundreds of thousands of pounds, requited by the elder Bourbons. Like Loyd llustlky and many others, English and Scotch, the Duke of Buckingham had to experience gross and flagrant ingratitude; for when the father of the late Duke visited Paris in 3814, and at subsequent periods, the Koyal family of Franco did not show liitn those atten tions which civility, not to speak of gratitude, required at tlieir hands. «Hoblcssc a obligo -is a trite motto, which is still more applicable to Royal'’houses." The first Marquis of Buckingham died in j 1813, and was succeeded by his eldest son, ] Richard, “who had been member for Busks j from 1797 till'lBl3, and who thus continued i to represent the county for sixteen long years, till the demise of his father. In maintaining the position itfid status of county member, and in elections, the first Duke of Buckingham spent a sum of money which we have heard estimated at £100,000; and a still larger sum, which we have heard estimated at £150,000, iu clothing, for more than a de cade, at His own expense,, a corps of yeomanry c avalry. t>fcb#coyning a member of the House of Peers, ofc.Buckingham conceived that it became him to play a leading ' part. He was younger, more ambitious, and more vigorous in health than his kinsman, Earl Granville, who had filled the highest offices, who had been Speaker of the Commons, Pay master General, Secretary for the Home and Foreign Departments, President of the Board of Control, and First Lord of the Treasury; lie was in better heal® and more self-seeking than Thomas Grenville, who had been First Lord of the Admiralty, Ambassador to Berlin, and who. after a long life of credit and honor, died only a few years ago, a nonagenarian, as a re tired Teller of the Exchequer. Hut, notwith standing the efforts of the Marquis of Buck ingham to make an Opposition or a Ministry, and to constitute himself leader of it, lie was in a great degree unsuccessful. The feeble health and quiet ‘ passivity,’ to use a phrase common in Edinburgh, of Lord Granville afforded to the Marquis of Buckingham ample room and verge enough to operate in the Lords; but he was not a loved or lovable man. He was as selfish and imperious as the first Earl Temple, and the consequence was, that his party con sisted only 'of the late Charles 'Wynne, of the | Freemnnties, and the late Dr. Joseph Pfiili.i more. S übsequently, at the era of the Man ! Chester massacre, it was formally joined by Mr. i Piunki.t, the member for Dublin University, | afterwards Lord Pi.unket, the most powerful | debater of his day; and, in consequence prin ! cipally of the eclat given to the party by the j spcecli of Mr. Piunket on the affair of Peter j 100, the Marquis of Buckingham was created Dnke of Buckingham and Chaudos in Febru ary, 1822.” It has been generally believed that the Duke dom was bestowed by Georoe IV. at the j grateful solicitation of Louis XVIII., but this j was not so. The new Duke, who was full of intrigue, fancied himself a great statesman, and tried to make a Buckingham party, hut failed. We are told his party “became con spicuous only by its weakness, notwithstand ing the countenance of Lord Grenville and the adhesion of so consummate a debater and so great a lawyer as Mr. Plunket. At the period of the death of Lord Castlereagh by his own hand, the Duke of Bucking ham fancied he might assume a leading posi tion and obtain a considerable, if not a pre ponderating, influence in the councils of the King; hut failing in this, his Grace desired to obtain the governor-generalship of India, and to succeed Mr. Canning in a post which that statesman no longer coveted j but in this, as Cansing wrote to his friend Earl Grenville, at Paris, the “phat Duke” (if you like, as Canning wrote the “ pliat” with the Greek 0) was disappointed, and Lord TV. Bentinck was properly named to the important office. At this period his Grace must have been aware that the extravagance of his fattier aud his own expenditure had ruined the estates of his family; but, nevertheless, his ambitious projects did not diminish, and lie still conti nued to look for the highest State employ ments. But he looked in vain; and when his Grace died, in 1839, he was without office of any hind.” The Grenville family, which had mainly owed its exaltation to a lucky marriage with Miss Temple, had its interests advanced by another alliance. In April, 1790, the flrst Marquis of Buckingham, who was also third Earl Temple, married the daughter and the heiress of James Bkydges, third and last Duke of Chaudos of the family of Brydges, and this lady was tho solo representative of Henry Grey, Duke of Suffolk, and of Frances his wife, eldest daughter and co-heiress of Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, by Mary, Queen-dowager of France, and daughter of Henry VII. of England. Tho family of Brydges was ancient—first in the province of Champagn, in France, and subsequently in England. Sir John Brydoes (or Bruges, as it was then called,) was knighted for his valor at the battle of the Spurs. He was afterwards Governor of Bou logne, aud was created Baron Chaudos Sudeley, in 1554, by Queen Mary I. The ninth holder of this barony was created Vis count Wilton, and Earl of Caernarvon, in 1714, soon after the accession of Georgi; I. In 1719, he was made Duke of Chandos, but bis grandson, the third Duke, died in 1789, without male issue, and his only daughter married the first Duko of Buckingham, to whom she carried ail her father’s vast property. To the original estates of the Grenville fa mily, at Wootten-under-Barnwood, were added those which came by intermarriage with the Temples —namely, Stowe, in Buckingham shire ; Burton Dassett, in Warwickshire; Cobham-piacc, in the county of Kent. Lady Anne Eliza Brydges (daughter of the last Duke of Chandos) brought as a marriage por tion to the first Duke of Buckingham, the princely estate of Minchenden House, at Southgate, Middlesex j Cannons, within ten miles of London ; Wilton Castle, in Hereford shire, and Suaely Castle, in Glocesters’nire. The Buckingham family also came in for the Irish estates oi' Earl Nugent, by marriage with his heiress in 1775. With the exception of the original and now not very large family estate of the Grenvilles, Wootton in Bucks, and Avinglon House, Herts, all have passed away. Cannons, which was a magnificent palace owned by a subject, was pulled down and disposed of piecemeal, on the death of “princely Chandos,” its last owner. Stowe, we believe, was redeemed by Mr. Gore Lanoton, the lato Duke’s son-in-law, and now belongs to him—partly by purchase, partly by marriage settlement. In 1800, the income of the then Marquis of Buckingham must have been over $1,750,000 a year. In 1822, when the Dukedom was created, it possibly was not more than $1,200,000 —a pretty sum of money to spend in twelve months. In 1859, when the late Duke succeeded, it probably was only $1,000,000. Now; on bis death, it is doubtful whether his successor (the Marquis of Chan dos who visited Philadelphia last October—and was met by many of our fellow-citizens at the hospitable board of Mr. J. B. Lippincott, Arch street) wiil have a tentli of that amount to live upon. llow this decadence occurred can only be told by sketching the career and character of the late Duke of Buckingham, and this we purpose doing to-morrow. Truly his life and death may be said To point a moral and adorn a talc.'' TIIE LAWS PASSED AT THE EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS. We referred yesterday to some of the law? pass ed at the late session of Congress, and present some additional extracts below.
