Death of the Archbishop of Dublin.

A telegraphic despatch from Ireland informs us
of-the death of the Archbishop of Dublin, which
occurred yesterday at twelve o'clock. His grace
had been afflicted for some time with an ulcer in
the leg, and for many weeks has been in a most pre-
carious condition. Till recently he suffered greatly,
but his mind was to the last as vigorous and clear
as ever. Those who ministered to him in his ill-
ness bear witness to his patience and his unrepin-
iug submission to the Divine pleasure. The near
approach of death would seem to have made Richard
W hately, the dry logician, the sarcastic controver-
sialist, more tender, more loving, snore spiritual ;
and the genuine greatness of his character was never
so conspicuous as at that awful time which neither
rank nor intellect can avert or postpone.
Archbishop Whately has long been known to the
world not only as a professional theologian, but as
the most acute thinker and the most accurate
reasoner of the age. After' leading intellectual
society in Oxford, he has for the last 30 years led
the intellectual society of the Irish capital. His
political influence was very great. As a privy
councillor, and, in the absence of the viceroy, one
of the lords justices of Ireland, he was mixed up
with the politics of successive Administrations;
but never was his advice given factiously, or from
party motives, to either Whig or Tory Lord
Lieutenant; in fact, throughout his life he kept
himself entirely free from political partisanship,
and no one could ever tell whether ho was a Whig
or a Tory, for he voted not with a party but as his
conscience dictated. American scholars gave him
equal rank with Butler, Watson, and Paley, one
writer going so far as to say that he is the only
Anglican bishop whose name will live. Exaggerated
as this opinion may seem, no one can hesitate to
admit that Dr. Whately has established a great
school of liberal thought, that his teaching and his
works have affected more than one generation of
the most intellectual students at Oxford and in
Dublin; and for this rare and precious influence
his name deserves to be remembered.

The Right Hon. and Most Rev. Richard Whately,
D.D., Lord Archbishop of Dublin, and Glendalough.
and Bishop of Kildare, Chanceltor.of the Order of
St. Patrick, and a Privy Councillor in Ireland, was
the fourth son of the Rcv. Joseph Whately, D.D.,
of Nonsuch Park, Surrey, a prebendary of Bristol,
by the daughter of Mr. William Plumer, and was
born in Cavendish-square on the Ist of February,
1787.

His grace was 59th Archbishop of Dublin, and
55th Bishop of Glendalough, and succeeded as 89th
Bishop of Kildare in 1846 (that see having been
prospectively united to Dublin under the Church
Temporalities Act), on the death of Dr. Charles
Lindsay. He was visitor of Trinity College, Dub-
lin; Prebendary ex officio of Cullen in St. Patrick's
Cathedral; Vice-President of the Royal Irish
Academy, and Chancellor of the Order of St.
Patrick.

The Archbishop married in 1821, on quitting
Oxford, for the first time, Mary, daughter of Mr.
W. Pope. One of his sons is the Ven. Edward
Whately, Archdeacon of Glendalough, Chancellor
of Sr. Patrick's Cathedral, and Vicar of Bray. Mrs.
Whately, wife of his grace, died 25th April, 1860.
The province of Dublin includes the five dioceses
of Oisory, Ferns and Leighlin, Limerick, Ardfert
and Aghadoe, Cork, Cloyne and Ross, Cashel,
Waterford, and Emly, and Killaloe, Kilfenora,
Clonfert, and Kilmacduagh. The diocese itself is
made up of the counties of Dublin, Kildare, and
Wicklow, with some part of Wexford, Queen's
county, and King's county. The annual income
attached to the archbishopric is £B,OOO. Nothing,
of course, is known as to the future occupant of
this distinguished office, but rumour has for some
time indicated Dr. Fitzgerald, Bishop of Killaioe,
the most distinguished of Archbishop Whately's
proteges, as his grace's probable successor in St.
Patrick's chair.

people,"—the " bustling Botherbys of society," us
they have been called.
It is impossible to do more than give the names
of Mrs. Trollope's other novels, " Tremordyn Cliff,"
" The Robertses on their Travels," "The Bike Belles
of England," "The Ward of Thorpe Cornbe," "The
Attractive M an," " Petticoat Government," " Father
Eustace," " Uncle Walter," " The Clever Woman,"
" The Three Cousins," Mrs. Matthews, or Family
Mysteries" (18:31), " Gertrude, or Family Friends"!
(1855), " Fashionable Life in Paris and London"
(1856), &c.
M:s. Trollope's writings are characterised by
great ability, but this ability is marred sometimes
by a too ready habit of mocking and sneering, and
a somewhat unfeminine style. But she has deser-
vedly a high reputation, and, in exposing vice,
hypocrisy, and injustice, she has done much good.
She has gone to her rest at the good old ago of 84,
but she had long passed out of the mind of novel
readers as a " living celebrity," one of the " Women
of the Time," though her last work was written on
the verge of 80.
Two of Mrs. Trollope's sons have distinguished
themselves in the world of letters. Mr. Anthony
Trollope, the author of " Barchester Towers,"
"Framley Parsonage," "Doctor Thorne," "The
Kellys and the O'Kellys," " The Three Clerks," &c.,
is as prolific a writer as his mother. Mr. Thomas
Adolphus Trollope, educated at Winchester and at
St. Alban's Hall, Oxford (under the headship of the
illustrious archbishop whose death we record this
day), has written two volumes on Brittany, " The
Life of Filippo Strozzi," "The Girlhood of Cathe-
rine de Medici," "La Beata," and other works.
His "Tuscany in 1849 and 1859"< made some noise
at the time of its appearance in consequence of its
containing texually the orders of the Grand Doke
of Tuscany to fire upon his people, the existence of
which had been denied by the friends of the de-
posed kinglings in the House of Lords. Mr. Thomas
Trollope's wile (nee Garrow) translated into Eng-
lish Niccolini's world-renowned "Arnaldo di
Brescia," and has communicated to the Athe2u-euni
some valuable papers on the social aspects of the
revolution in Italy.
