Death of an Irish Politician.

--William Sherman rawford, member of Parliament whose death has just been announced, was the great leader of what is known as the Irish Tenant Right party, and a man of eminent worth, though not of brilliant talents. At one period he represented Dundalk in the national Legislature, but having opposed Mr. O'Connel in his repeal agitation he found himself left without support there, and subsequently offered himself for the English borough of Rochdale. His efforts, although backed by a powerful support from the people of Eister, proved ineffectual against the landed interests, and landlordism once more triumphed.
