ral opinion was that they would ignore the bills.
The following letter from the Under-Secretary,
received by the governors of one of the Dublin hos-
pitals, clearly indicates the intentions of the present
Irish government with respect to these institutions:

—The Lord-Lieutenant received a deputation from
the Incorporated Society of the Attorneys and Soli-
citors of Ireland yesterday, relative to the recent
appointment of Mr. Kemmis, Jun., a barrister, to the
dice of Crown Solicitor for the Leinster Circuit.
His Excellency informed them that he had read their
memorial, but reminded them that the appointment
la question had been made by the late government,
and that if legally made, it could not be revoked.
He then asked for the opinion of counsel that had
been obtained on the subject, which he would have
submittcd to the law officers of the crown, and
added, that his own feeling on the subject was in
!avow of the appointment of solicitors to those very
few offices which properly belonged to their profes-
sion, but that it did not rest with him to decide on
the legality of the appointment which had been
made ; although he believed that personally there
could be no objection to the gentleman who had been
sppointed.

His Excellency received an address yesterday
from the Association for Promoting Christian Know-
ledge, and accepted the offer of being President of

Packet Company, under the superintendence of Cap-

Captain Dennis had, however, succeeded in get•
