DEATH OF N. ALEXANDER,
. Eso., M.P.
---- 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 of Nathaniel
Alexan-delrEsq., late representative of the county of
Antrim in the House of Commons, which melancholy
event took place on Wednesday, the sth, instant, at
Ardimersey Cottage, Islay, the residence of Robert
Langtry, Esq., where the deceased g
entleman had been
a fortnight since
staying for some time past. About
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,
when his illness exhibited alarming symptoms. After
that period he gradually grew worse, and on 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 Parliameit, 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 Minonald, 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
voted for a Conservative, and
agricultural protection i
life he was unostentatious, an 1846. In private
miable
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."

tised to sail again to Australia early next month. in
