SUDDEN DEATH OF COLONEL WRITE, OF TO,
WooDLANDs.—We regret to announce the death of Colo!),
White, of the Woodlands, near Dublin. He embarked wlt°
his lady and two servants on board the mail steamer fro
Kingston to Liverpool, on Sunday evening, apparently 10
good health and spirits. About nine o'clock on Moncla.Y.
morning, Mrs. White heard him retching very much, and
sent her maid to see him, when it was found he had fallen
into a iit of apoplexy. A medical gentleman on board im-
mediately resorted to the usual remedies, and on the vessel
reaching the George's Pier, Dr. O'Donnell was called, who
together with Dr. Formby, rendered every assistance, and
the unfortunate gentleman was taken to the Adelphi Hotel,
where lie expired at five o'clock on Tuesday morning last.
By this event several families of high rank will be thrown
into mourning.
