DEATH of SAMUEL WHITBREAD, Esq. M.P.

We lament to say, that this worthy- and mprigh t
man, sutklealy, and unexpectedly, breathed his last
about eleven o'clock this day, at his house in
Dover street. He had breakfasted, as usual, with
Otis family, in perfect health, and had transacted
a good deal of business during breakfast. The
servant was in the act of removing the tea-tray, when
Mr. WHMIRIAD started up, -walked hastily across
the ronmp•naclaiming, " Mq head ! oh my head !"
several times. He then made a convulsive grasp at
the bell•pull, but fell in the act, in the servant's arms;
His countenance had undergone a most remarkable
change, and in an instant he expired. Medical
assistance was immediately procured, but in vaia,—
The prOdmate cause of his death, was apoplexy, to
which he had Jong suspected himself .to have a ten-
dency.' His foss will be felt as a public calamity.—
In all his relations of pUblic.,and private life, •be,
not only ' bore the character, but exercised. thib
duties of an honest and honourable man ; and no
person More ready than Mr.. WHITpL9 was to.
bear tettnikont to the virtues and talents oven, of a
political antagonist. 9n the occaiion of. the.death
of Mr. PUCKVAL, whop it, was. semarked ,that. the,
latter was a person who never carried. his .eninities.
beyond the door of the House of • Commons
al I will never believe," said Mr. Vfniraiutan„ with
the manly ardour for which was so celebrated in
his Parliamentary career-64 I will never.believe that
he ever carried his enmities so far !".
In atm, never was there a more manly or intrepid
public character ; and none who knew Mr.. Wytr-
BAUD, wili Whine him the need of the Poet
