The newspapers this week record the death of Mr. Peter

Burrowes, one of the oldest and best patriots of Ireland. A correspondent, who enjoyed his friendship, supplies the following obituary notice-

" On Monday last, aged ninety-one, in Henrietta Street, Cavendish Square, Peter Burrowes, Esq., many years a distinguished ornament of the Irish bar, and one of the last surviving Members of the Irish House of Commons. He was the friend of Grattan, Flood, and Plunket, the defender of Robert Emmett_ Bright in intellect, courteous in manner, clear and acute in judgment, with the simplicity of a child ; a patriot when patriotism was denounced and punished as a crime; his sterling integrity and spotless moral character formed even then his sufficient safeguard and defence."
