DEATH OF THE RIGHT HON. LORD WESTERN.-We regret we have to announce the death of Lord WESTERN, which took place at Felix Hall, about nine o'clock on Tuesday morning. His lordship, who was the son of Charles WESTERN, Esq., of Riven Hall, by the daughter and heiress of William BOLLAND, Esq., of London, was born in 1767; and after being educated at Eton and Cambridge, entered Parliament for the borough of Maldon, in 1790. He attached himself to the old Whig party, and to these principles he ever remained consistent, refusing to trim and modify them to suit modern tastes and modern circumstances; and this rigid consistency latterly rather alienated him from the party with whom he had so long been accustomed to act. He continued to sit for Maldon till 1812, when he obtained a seat for the county, and remained in the House of Commons till 1832. During this period of 42 years he often took an active part in the business of the house, particularly on the corn-laws and the currency question. His lordship steadily supported the Liberal party in their long struggle for reform; and he contributed to the ultimate triumph in 1831; but the passing of the Reform Bill cost him his seat for Essex. On the division of the county under the provisions of that measure, he became a candidate for the northern division, but he was defeated by Sir John TYRRELL and Mr. BARING, a circumstance which, it was understood, induced Lord Melbourne, as a reward for his long and consistent services, to call him to the upper house immediately, by the title of Baron WESTERN, of Rivenhall; and his political friends in the county also testified their esteem for him, by presenting him, at a public dinner at the Shire Hall, attended by 400 gentlemen, with a splendid piece of plate. Since that period his lordship had lived in comparative retirement, seldom taking part in the debates of the House of Lords. Lord WESTERN was never married; he has no brothers, and the title, we believe, is extinct.
