unsuccessful ; and though a person of most regular and mo-
derate habits, he found himself unable to maintain his posi-
tion in society. After labouring with indomitable energy
for a considerable period, he at length became despondent,
and ultimately terminated his existence by hanging himself
from the bed-post, by means of a silk pocket-handkerchief.
Verdict, " Temporary insanity."
MINISTERIAL VISIT TO IRELAND.—Lord J. Rus-
sell will start for Dublin in a day or two. He goes, not to
supersede, nor to control, nor to direct Lord Clarendon. The
man whose sagacity, courage, and self-reliance, have saved
Ireland from the horrors of anarchy and the carnage of re-
bellion required no coadjutor and no adviser. His own in-
telligence had dictated the means, his own intrepidity had
dared the consequences, of suppressing a revolution which
might have shaken England to her centre, and perpetuated
the disorganization of the empire. But Lord J. Russell goes
himself to observe the state of that distracted island, to see
its real grievances, to examine their causes, and to confer
upon their remedies.—Times.

DEATH VOF LIEUT.-GENERAL SIR DAVID XI..
mEsEs, K.C.II.—We have to record the death of Lieut.-
General Sir David Ximenes, whose dissolution took place on
Saturday, at his residence, near Maidenhead, Berks. The
gallant deceased, who was in his 71st year of his age, was
youngest son of Mr. David Ximenes, who was descended
from Jean Ximenes, brother of Cardinal Ximenes, Regent of
Spain. He married, 1816, Miss Evans, eldest daughter of
Admiral Evans. In 1794 he entered the army, and was for
nearly 38 years employed on foreign service, having served
in Sicily, Egypt, twice in North America, Bermuda, and
subsequently in Ceylon and the East Indies.
