DEATH OF MIL WILLIAM DARGAN.—We learn
by telegraph from Dublin that Mr. William Dargan died
last evening at his residence in that city. As our readers

are aware, he bad been seriously ill for about a fortnight,
and for the last week there bad been little or no hope of

his reoovery. The deceased, who wu a native of Ireland,
was born at the beginning of the present century, and was

• well known railway contractor and capitalist. He was the

_ .
son of a gentleman farmer, and having received a good edu-
cation, was placed in a surveyor's office, his first em-
ployment being under Telford in the construction of the
Holyhead•road. Rapidly advancing in his profession he

obtained the contract for the Howth-road, and for the first
railway in Ireland, the Dublin and Kingstown line. Indeed,

there was subsequently scarcely a public work in that

. - .
country' in which he did not take a prominent part.
