Mr. Sadleir is al relay syr,ken of as a candidate foi
the borough of Tralec, which the lamented death i f
Mr. Maurice O'Connell has left vacant, and of which
the Halal party have the representation effectually
in their own hinds. The rumour on the subject is
at least a probable one, and the return of Mr. Sadleir
for 'fralee would save Mr. Somers—who will come
into the field with the important influence of Lord
Palmerston at his buck—the trouble of a contest in
Sligo, as no one seems to think that a person named
Manly, who has homed a ridiculous, canting address
to the electors of the latter borough, has any inten•
tion of going to the poll.
Although the day for the Clare election is close at
band, there is eery little stir or excitement occa-
sioned by the event. The must active of the Homan
catholic priests have determined to keep aloof from
the contest, but so far as the interest of that body
will be exerted it will of course be in favour of Sir
John Fitzgerald and Mr. O'Brien. Colonel Vande•
letir's chance of success depends on the split votes
which he mar obtain through the exertion of land-
lord intimidation, and as this latter influence will
be exerted, no doubt with some effect, it is just pos-
sible that by concentrating their forces the tory, party
will bu able to divide the representation of the
county.
The Irish tones are heartily ashamed of their old
friend, Lord Naas ; and it is only justice to say
that all their leading organs have publicly denounced
the unprincipled conduct of which he has been con-
victed in both houses of parliament. The following
passage from an article on the subject in one of the
most ultra of all the Irish tory journals, the Newry
Tel,yraph, will serve as an example :
Is there any man (says the organ of the Newry orange-
men), be his political and personal partiality so strong,
who can permit himself to view Lord Notall I conduct Other-
wise than disapproviugly ? It cannot be that anybody,
capable of judging right judgment, should regard as re-
concileable the noble lord's esplanati in, on Thursday night,
and his assurances to Lord Itglinton, as well as his written
cumenuaicatiou to Mr. Keogh, purporting that en overture
of odice be had n.it made to Mr. Keogh, "either directly
or indirectly." Nut only are the statements so condictiug
as to bring discredit on their awhor, but the circumstances
connected with the intrigue are also of a disreputable
nature. It is admitted that the language addressed to Mr.
Keogh, well calculated to deceive and ensnare him, wu
lased but as a [...ler. The coquetting had fur its object the
prumutwn of the self-interest, of the pursued ambition, of
the aspiring Lord Naas. How tar it may have availed to
serve those ends at the time matters little at the present
day. What meat concern* the noble lord now is the effect
of the erjoue.:. It mast by must damaging.
