DUBLIN, SUNDAY NIGHT.
His Excellency Earl Besborough, Lord-Lieutenant of/
Ireland, breathed his last at eleven o'clock to-night.
His Excellency continued to sink from nightfal, and
he was quite aware of his approaching dissolution.
Shortly after ten o'clock he sent for the several members
of his family, who were for some time in constant and
close attendance upon him, and severally took leave of
them. His Excellency continued in perfect possession
cf his senses up to the fatal moment that death separated
him from all he loved so dearly.
The melancholy event, notwithstanding that it has
been long expected, will be received with deep concern
by all classes of the population of this unhappy laud'
whose sufferings his Excellency struggled to mitigate
with heartfelt zeal. _ _
