Death of an Irish Pass.
--Francis William Canfield, 2d Earl of Charlemont, died recently at Clontarf, in Ireland, aged 83 years. His father gained great celebrity in the last century as the leader in the Irish volunteer movement in 1779 and 1782, and as one of the most active promoters of Irish legislative independence, and figures largely in the lives of Burke, Fox, Pitt, and Gratten.
The late peer was an amiable gentleman, holding rather extreme liberal opinions but always the steady supporter of the Whig . Of late years he has been an object of interest as the "father" of the House of Lords, of which he has been a member since 1806, and the survivor of the old irish Parliament.
He was a member of the Irish House of Commons from 1795 1799, when he succeeded to the peerage and in the House of Lords in Dubith till the Union of 1861.
He received the ribbon of the order of St. Patrick in 1831.
