The new Earl has at present no home, his father’s property, which was largely in coal mines, having very much depreciated in value. His mother, the late Earl’s wife, was Miss Castalia Campbell,daughter of thefamous Campbell of Islay, whose magnificent style of living, both on his family estates and in London, dissipated a large fortune in a few years. The dowager countess is still handsome, with a tall, stately figure. This is the second time she has been compelled to live on slender means. As. Constable of Dover and Lord Warden of Cinque Ports, a position once occu--pied by William Pitt and afterward by the “Iron Duke,” the late Lord Granville occupied Walmer Castle, which* he turned into a beautiful country seat. As soon as his successor is appointed the family must move out.
