SIR JAMES GRAHAM , BART ., M . P ., PROA '' . G . MASTER , CUMBERLAND . AVe regret to announce the sudden death of the above distinguished brother , who expired at an early hour on the morning of the 22 th ult ., at Netherhy , the family seat in Cumberland , from disease of the heart . Sir James has been in failing health for some years past , and the
sudden termination of his illness was not altogether unexpected . The deceased was the eldest son of the first baronet by Lady Catherine Stewart , daughter of the 7 th Earl of Galloway . He was born in 1792 , ancl was consequently in his 69 th year . His political career has extended over a period of more than forty years . He represented Hull in Parliament from 1818 to 1820 , and succeeded his father in the baronetcy in 1824 . Two years later Sir James was returned for the city of Carlislein the AVhiinterestto which
, g , party he soon became an important acquisition . In 1830 he was elected for the county of Cumberland , and became one of the most strenuous supporters of the Reform Bill , as he had previously been of the repeal of the Test ancl Corporation Acts and of Catholic Emancipation . On the formation of Earl Grey ' s Administration , the talents of Sir James were so much appreciated that , he was nominated First Lord of the Admiraltywith a seat in the Cabinet
, . In 1832 Sir James was returned for the eastern division of the county of Cumberland , which he represented up to 1837 . In 1834 dissensions in Earl Grey's Cabinet arose on the Irish Church question , which led to the retirement of Sir James , together with Lord Stanley ( now Earl of Derby ) , the late Duke of Richmond , and the late Earl of Ripon . This disruption occasioned the early downfall of the Grey Administration . On Sir Robert Peel coming into
power , ifc was expected that Sir James would have joined his administration ; but with other members of the Derby party he declined to do so , and publicly stated at the hustings that he had " no confidence" in Sir Robert ' s administration ; which , however , he . subsequently supported by his votes in Parliament . At the general election in 1837 he had the mortification of being rejected bv his
former constituents , and remained out of the House of Commons until the following session , when he was returned for Pembroke . In 1841 he was elected for Dorchester . In that year , on the late Sir Robert Peel being called upon to re-form a ministry , Sir James took office under that illustrious statesman as Secretary of State for the Home Department , a post which he held until the dissolution of the Government , in June , 1846 . During his tenure of office under Sir Robert Peel , he was an active supporter of the
repeal of the corn laws ancl of the new commercial policy that statesman inaugurated . From 1847 to 1852 , he sat as representative for the borough of Ripon , and in the latter year he was re-elected for Carlisle , which city he has since sat for in the House of Commons . On the Earl of Aberdeen coming into power in December , 1852 , Sir James was re-appointed First Lord of the Admiralty , and remained in the Earl ' s ministry until the adverse vote on Mr . Roebuck's motion" That a select committee be appointed to inquire
, into the condition of our army before Sebastopol , and into those departments of fche Government whose duty it has been to minister to the wants of that army . " From that period he has not been officially engaged , having declined office in favour of others whom he thought better calculated to form an efficient Government . Sir James was an able administrator , ancl although at the last two general elections he adopted extreme Liberal opinions , he enjoyed the esteem and respect of a large circle of his political opponents .
The deceased was a D . C . L . of Cambridge , ancl was Lord Rector of Glasgow University in 1840 . AVe have no exact record of the period or place of the initiation of our deceased brother , but have reason to believ e that it took place in the Scientific Lodge , Cambridge , somewhere about 1813 or 1814 . He is registered in the Grand Lod ge books as having joined the late Lodge of Harmony , at Carlisle , on the 10 th September , 1825 , and continuing a member until December , 1843 , the date of the last return made by the lodge , which was formally erased by order of Grand Lodge in 1851 . Sir James joined the Holy Temple
