A DISPATCH from London, dated
March Goth, says the death of John
Mitchell has created profound
sensation throughout Ireland and
Great Britain generally. He was
taken i'll about the first of March,
but until the last few days his sick
ness did not assume such danger
Gus form as to lead him to be APP
prehensive of a fatal result, and
his friends were still hopeful of his
recovery. The excitement conse-
auent upon the election contest
and other political matters, it is
believed, helped to hasten his
death.
