GENERAL SIR S. AUCTIVIUTY.

We yesterday announced the sudden •death or
this distinguished Officer. The following parti-
culars are extracted from the Dublin Paps-i-s-
-since received :
DUBLIN, AUCUST SAYIUCL and Col:),
nel THORNTON had been in attendance on hi 3

Excellency an official buiiness, and between focir
and five yesterday evening, rode through the
Park on their return from the Lodge, w,hen Sir
SAMUEL suddenly fell from his horse, and, as it
appears, expired almost immediately. , cOlOllO
GROVE happened to pass at the time in a jaunt-
ing car ;:by his aid and that of some other per-
sons, Sir SAMUEL was placed on the car, Ivhieh
was driven by Colonel GROPE to the Royal
llopital.—Col. THORNTON sat in the car, and
supported the General in his arms.

The medical attendants opened a vein, but all symptoms t:f
animation had fled for ever. There were no other marks re-
sulting from Sir SAMUEL'S fall from his horse than a slight
scar on the back part of his head, which bled for a momer.: ;
his sword was bent in the fall.

Since writing the preceding, we have learned that Mr. Mox A-
RAN, who resides at No. 16, Dame-street, was the first invidi-
dual who happened to be near Sir SAMUEL when he fell ; he
raised him in his arms, and assisted Col. THORNTON, wha
was greatly agitated, in placing him in Colonel GROVE'S car,
which arrived at the spot shortly after the lamentable event--
The dragoon in attendance on the General was dispatched at
full speed to procure the assistance of Medical Gentleinea,
and on the arrival of Sir SAMUEL at the Royal hospital sur-
gical aid was resorted to, but unfortunately without effect—
the vital .stark unhappily had been extinct within a minute us
two after the lamented Officer fell from his home.—(Saunder'i
News Let!er.).

The melancholy death of this brave and excellent Officer,
took place about four o'cloek yesterday. Sir S. AUCit3fuTY
was riding in the Phoenix Park, in company with Col. THORN -
TON, when he was seized with an apoplectic fit, and .fell dead
from his horse. He was put into a carriage, which happened
to be passing at the moment, and conveyed to the Royal Hos.
pital, where Surgeons REY NEL L and AI'AuLEY, of the Royal
Infirmary, were in immediate attendance, and opened a rein
in Sir SAstuEr.'s left arm, and tried every means that profes.
sional skill and abxious zeal for the recovery of this diztin.
guished General could dictate, but without effect.
General FYERS has been written to by express' to come to
town, and take the command of the army in this country, cd
interim, he being the oldest General on the Irish Staff. By the
death of Sir S. A u CUMUTY, a vacancy occurs in the Colonelcy
of the 78th regiment of Foot (Highlanders) now quartered is
Carlow.—(Dublin Vreenuin's Journal.)
