DEATH OF CARLYLE. OUTRAGES IN IRELAND LESSENING. TROUBLE WITH THE ASBLANTEES. [OTUTBB'S TILXGBAXB.J London, sth February. The death is announced to-day, after a lingering illness, of Mr. Thomaa Carlyle, the eminent author, aged 86. News to hand from Ireland during the past few weeka shows that agrarian outrages have now almost entirely ceased. This is attributed mainly to the prompt measures which have been taken by the Government for the suppression of disorder. Further news from Sierra Leonne confirms the telegrams to hand yesterday regarding the probability of an outbreak of war in the colony. It is now announced that the King of Ashantee demands that a refugee chief, who has placed himself under British protection in the colony, should be surrendered. Sir S. Rowe, the Governor of Sierra Leonn«, has refused the demand, hence the threatened attack on the colony by the Ashantees.
