DEATEI OF N. ALEXANDER, Esq., 31 The
Northern Whig supplies the following particulars of
the death of one of the members for Antrim :—" We
regret to have to announce the death
theof Nathanieleonntyfo
Alexander, Esq., late representative of
Antrim in the House of Commons, which melancholy
at
event took place on Wednesday, the sth instant,
Ardimersey Cottage, Islay, the residence of Robert
Langtry, Esq., where the deceased gentleman had been
staying for some time past. About a fortnight since
Mr. Alexander was taken ill with a severe attack of
water on the chest ; but no serious apprehensions were
entertained regarding him until Monday, the 3d instant,_er
when. his illness exhibited alarming symptoms. ft
that period he gradually grew worse, and on After
Wed-
nesday last he expired in the vigour of manhood
having only recently completed his thirty-seventh year.
The deceased became a candidate for the representation
of the county of Antrim in Parliament, when the eleva-
tion of his relative, General O'Neill, to a peerage in
1841, rendered one
of the seats for that county vacant.
The electors were also addressed at this period by Ed-
mund M`Donald, Esq., of Glenarm Castle, but the lat-
ter gentleman declining a contest, Mr. Alexander was re-
turned at Carrickfergus on the 14th of April, 1841. At
the general election, consequent on the dissolution of
ministers, in the same year, Mr. Alexander again ad-
dressed the electors, and, being unopposed, was returned
at Carrickfergus on Tuesday, July
13, along with John
Irving, Esq. From this time Mr. A. continued in the
representation of the county up to 1852, when he issued
an address to the electors intimating his intention of not
again soliciting their suffrages. Shortly after his re-
election, in 1841, Mr. ,Alexander married Florinda,
second daughter of R. Bagley, Esq, and niece of Lord
Castlemaine, an amiable and accomplished lady. In po-
litics, the deceased gentleman was a Conservative, and
voted for agricultural protection in 1846. In private
life he was unostentatious, amiable, and inoffensive,
never allowing a political difference to interfere with the
observances of private friendship. The remains of the
deceased gentleman are expected to arrive in Belfast by
the Scotch boat this morning."
