THE REPRESENTATION OP TRALEE.--We learn
the youngest son of the Liberator has received from
the Govewrnaymfeunitlyaoqua,,PEfiprthidttn;
aPtintdfiotriswgrhiacthiftwinegkntoowobhseervis
in e
that the administration of Lord Palmerston has not heel •
tett d to confer on the youngest son of the indefatigab e,
able, and eloquent champion of Catholic rights a position
which the one may confer and the other accept w.thout
compromise of principle. By th's most graceful appoint-
ment the representation of the borough of Tralee becomes
vacant, and last night Mr. Bland moved in the House of
Commons for a new writ. Rumour says that Mr. Thomas
O'Hagan, the able and eloquent advocate of Catholic rights
on all occasions, is like to be the successor of the Libera-
rator's son. If so, all we add is. that the representation
could not fall into better or more faithful custody.-2ree-

REPRESENTATION OF 'SOUTH WARWICKSHIRE.
—The rumour rs•cently eurrent in an tntangtbie
shape respecting the retirement of Mr. E. P. Shirley from
the representation of south Warwickshire has been offi-

stituents that at the next general election he shall not offer
himself for re-election. The Conservative Association
have already brought forward Mr. F. Wise, of Woodcote-
hall, near Warwick. Two or three gentlemen have been
spoken or in the Liberal Interest, but no candidate has been
definitely decided upon. A contest has not taken pl,ce
since 1839, when the Conbervatives returned boththeir
candidates by a considerable majority,
