Dublin. Dec. 9.—Suicide of Lord Ffrench.—It gives us extreme concern to have to announce, that this Nobleman shot himself about half past two this day, in the chamber of one of his sons in Trinity College! There was no person present, Mr. Ffrench having been out upon some business, and the servant who waited on his Lordship being sent down stairs, to allow his Lordship, as he himself expressed it, " to arrange some papers without interruption." It was with a pistol that the fatal act was committed—and, it would seem, that the unhappy nobleman did not survive a second after the shot was fired. The ball passed directly through his head.

Lord Ffrench, has for some months spent the greater part of his time in his son's rooms in college. He was observed several times yesterday, by some of the students, and displayed nothing particular in his manner or appearance, with the exception of a general dejection and melancholy, which has characterised him since his late misfortunes. His Lordship was to have been examined yesterday. at the Royal Exchange, respecting the banking establishment with which he had been connected, and which had, as the public knows. stopped payment—and it was whilst he was expected to attend for this purpose that he committed the dreadful act. The event, created a very great sensation in the town; those who knew Lord French were more generally shocked at the terrible transaction, but it was generally felt with considerable sensibility.
