 DEATH OF GOV. CARROLL

 It is our painful duty to announce the sor- rowful intelligence to our readers, that Ex- Governor WILLIAM CARROLL, died at his residence in this city, at half past 8 o'clock on yesterday evening, in his 56th year.

 It had been known for the previons twen- ty-four hours that his life was despaired of by his physicians and during all that time, the public mind had remained in state of the most anxious suspense. For some months, he dad been so far recovered of his former long continued illness, and deerepitude from rheumatism, as to be able to ride without in convenience on horseback, and in good wealth CT, to walk the streets and visit his neighbors and friends on foot. So much had his health improved, that both he and his friends antic- ipated a radical cure and such was his vi- gor of constitution, and the bouyancy and energy of his mental faculties, that his fami- ly and friends were anticipating for him a happy green old age, and long life of pros perity and usefulness. Such were the hopes of all until within the last three days. It was only on the 10th instant, that he was mingling actively joyously with his friends and fellow-citizens in celebrating the restora- ton of General Jackson's fine; and at that festival in this city, at which he occupied the Chair as President of the day, he delivered one of the most impressive, eloquent and powerful addresses we have ever heard fall from the lips of man.

 In stopping the press to make this nasty and painful announcement of his death, so sudden and unexpected, it is not our purpose, nor have we the heart to attempt to write his eulogy, or even becoming obituary notlce That will be done in due time, and we hope by some pen more adequate than ours to do justice to his great merits as citizen, sol dier, statesman, neighbor and man.

 Full arrangements will be made by his tel- low citizens, and the public authorities, as we understand, to have his remains inferred with becoming and suitable public honors. RequieScdt in pace.
