Longevity among the Peerage.—It is not a little singular that of the score or so of peers who have died since the commencement of the year, there are sixteen whose united ages amount to no less than 1229 years, giving an average of 76 years and a-half to each. The list of noble Lords is as follows:—The Earl of Aylesford (aged 72); Lord Northwick (81); the Earl of Ripon (76); the Marquis of Bristol (89); the Earl of Devon (81); the Bishop of Bangor (86); the Duke of Leeds (60); the Earl of Moray (63); the Earl of Tankerville (83); Earl Cathcart (76); the Earl of Harborough (62); the Earl of Minto (76); Viscount St. Vincent (92); the Earl of Jersey (86); the Earl of Westmorland (75); and Earl Waldegrave (71).
