bUICIDE OF SERGEANT SUIdMoNI3.—A most distress-
ing suicide took place at halt-past six O'clock on Tuesday
evening in New bridge Barracks. The orderly-room
clerk (Sergeant Summons), of the 4th Light Dragoons.,
retired to his room, sat on 'his bed, and having loaded
his carbine, placed his foot to the trigger, and shot him.
self through the head. He was instantly dead. The
ball pierced the ceiling of the room. He was a respect-
able man, intelligent, and highly respected by his officers
and brother soldiers. No cause can be assigned for the
rash deed. Ile had intended to a_k permission to go to
London the following day, relative to a considerable pro-
perty which he had just become possessed of.
The tenantry of the Marquis of Waterford were re-
cently convened by his Lordship, who addressed them
in the following spirited language:—
G entlemen,-1 have requested you to meet me' here
this day for the purpose of arranging some plan
for tranquillizing this wretched country for re-
storing confidence between neighbours. I have not
called you litre to ask for protection : I can
depend upon my oars right arm, and the loyalty,
courage, and attachment of my servants ; and if
I do fail by a rebel hand, the traitor may win but a dear-
bought victory. I call you here to defend your honour,
your property—to give new life to that confidence and
friendship between landlord and tenant whiCh T have al-
ways prized as the greatest boon handed down to me by
my ancestors. Would you uphold your honour? Then
come forward like men, not like cowards waiting to pro-
claim the victorious party in this struggle as your friends,
but boldly to declare your policy, be it loyalty, be it re-
bellion; meet me as friends or foes, but wear no disguise.
Would you protect your property?. Be loyal. What must
be the result of this conflict, even were the rebels success-
ful for a moment? England—mighty England—would
send her power to crush the traitors to the ground. Ireland
—unhappy Ireland—deserted by her few remaining men
of capital, would have to support a double amount of
soldiery, and would contain but three classes of inhabi-
tants—the paid soldier, the unemployed labourer, and
the distracted farmer. Would you retain the confidence
of your landlord ? Act as you have done in days
of yore, declare your resolution to uphold the
Queen, the law, and justice; Such was your conduct
in former rebellions. Idave I any Cause to doubt you
now?—have not I and my wife lived amongst you?—
have we not studied your comfort ?—have we not
spent more than 100,0001. in .the last six years for
the general good, within twenty miles of this house?
—have I not been a good landlord ?—has she not
been the best of women? Now, then, do you expect
to better your condition, by passing from our hands into
the guidance of a set of coward traitors—to-day gaudy
in uniform and daring of speech, and' to-morrow vanish-
ing at the smell of powder P for did they but gain power
they would hold you but as the "wan tool of their ambi-
tion. But I hope for better things ; I trust that you will
warrant the affection and good opinion I have always had
for you. lam sure that you will assist to restore peace
and good will."
Mr. WALSH, of Glinstown, then read the following
address from the assembled body,; and Mr. WALSH, of
Kihnacthomas, declared their intention to do every
thing in their power to restore tranquility, and to assist
his Lordship in his undertaking.
" We, the most loyal subjects of the Queen, and the
most sincerely attached tenantry of your Lordship, take
this opportunity of addressing you on the dangerous
and organized excitement that has been got up by
some unprincipled and traitorous persons is our
hitherto quiet and peaceable neighbourhood. We
feel happy in announcing to your Lordship
that the excitement is subsiding, and the people
express the greatest regret at their folly. We take this
opportunity of expressing to your Lordship our heart-
felt gratitude for your kindness and benevolence as a re-
sident landlord And employer of both trade and labour,
and pledge ourselves to assist you in preserving peace
and good order in the country.
"May it please your Lordship to present to Lady
Waterford our sincere gratitude for her extreme kind-
ness, charitableness, and goodness to the poor of this
district.
" With esteem and respect, we remain your Lordship's
most grateful tenantry,

"Dated thi; 31st day of July, 1848:
His LORDSHIP replied—" I am delighted to find so
many honest men about me, and that I n as not mistaken
when I reckoned on your affection. You have promised
fairly ; now act wisely. Take away the pikes from
your underlings, turn out all members of clubs from
your employ ; form bodies of the better class in each
district for your mutual protection ; bring me the pikes,
and then I shall indeed know that you are my friends."
