THOMAS CARLYLE ON IRISH POLITICS.

The following is from the Liverpool Joarmal : Mr.
Thomas Carlyle, the " Oracle of Chelsea," was pressed
to take the chair at a farewell dinner, to be given in
Londcn to Mr. Gavan Duffy, previous to that gentle-
man's departure for Australia. The following letter,
addressed to Mr. James Hannay, the novelist, has been
elicited, very characteristic of Mr. Carlyle and very
complimentary to Mr. Duffy, as indeed is the fact that
gentlemen of all parties and schools—witness Mr.
Hannay, himself a thorough Tory—are joining in the
dinner

"Addiscipbe Farm, Croydon, sth Sept., 1355.
"Dear Harinay.—Songs short time ago I received a
circular, with E. Whitty's signature, on the same sub-
ject as your note, and was well pleased to learn that
such a project was in agitation on behalf of Duffy—to
which I wished all success very sincerely. though myself
unable to take part in it. I have a real regard, and
even affection for Duffy, whose fine, truthful intePect,
and ardent humane character, were always recognisable
to me, in the worst tumult of Irish confusions. His
course, then, which I never could applaud for wis-
dom, nor rebuke without pity and respect, has all
along seemed to me one of the most tragical—and
surely it has been troublous enough, tumbling
in the wake of that monster of Blarney, Big 0.,
and his " justice for Ireland" (the ugliest impostor ge-
nerated in my time), and, alas ! it ends in a sufficiently
mournful manner, though in a manful and pathetic one,
on my poor friend Duffy's part ! I would gladly go and
testify these feelings on his behalf, wherever it might be
useful or suitable ; but, on the other hand, I can per-
ceive this dinner will not be the place for me to do it ;
but for others differently related to it than I, and who
probably have somewhat other feelings to expee,e. In
short, there are multifarious reasons admonishing ab•
pence on my part—two reasons, were there no Other :
Permanent wish to steer clear to windward of O'Con-
nellism, and of the anti-ditto, in all their branches ; and,
secondly, the misery I undergo in all public dinners'
whatsoever. I pray you, therefore, let me be excused,
end be believeil, at the rams time, t,) wish the enter-
prise heartily veih a 5 I do.—Yours vcry truy,
" T. CARLYLE."'•
