A good story is, no doubt, very pleasant in a newspaper, if
it were ready cut and dry atjaand, and one of a slenderly in-
ventive genius could dish it up to his satisfaction. But not

r shall rather contradict than tell new stories of the state of
Ireland.
In the first place, there la. no grounds whatever for believing
that Lord Morpeth's absege for a few days from Ireland has
anything to do with a med.,-, ation of the Cabinet. The rumours
diet have been for sc.tne t afloat, of his Lordship's exchanging
the Chief Secretaryshipthis Government for a seat in the
Cabinet are contradicted by some well informed persons, who
say, the greatest services that can be rendered to the State at
this juncture, are connected with the tranquillity and good
management of this part of the empire. And a nobleman who
gas distinguished himself as Lord Morpeth has done during
the last four Sessions of Parliament, in sustaining the policy
of the executive, as regards this country, in the House of
Commons, cannot yet be spared from the important situation
which he fills here. Equally untrue is it, as reported by the
Dublin Tory papers, and copied by some of the Liberals, that
Otis private Secretary, Norman MacDonald, Esq. is appointed
Chief Clerk of the Privy Council. That situation, vacant
)3, the death of the late Mr. M.Kay, is likely to be conferred
epon an intelligent gentleman not so well known to the
.mblie as Mr. MacDonald. Indeed it is not at all probable
hat the latter, who has discharged very efficiently, as I
tm informed, for the last three years, the duties of an office
once filled, I believe, by Addison—certainly by Burke, in the
,!ornmencement of his political career—would accept a place
less honourable, and of no great emolument. But I mention
he rumour as part of the tactique adopted for some time past
in this country by the Tory scribes, to keep up the spirits of
'heir party. The absence of Lord Morpeth, and the vacancy
tfluded to, were seized upon as a plausible pretext for insinu-
Ltieg something like a change or break-up of the Irish
Government, by thus providing for one of its attaches; and
accordingly, some of the employes of the Haddington Govern-
ment offered wagers yesterday, in the Hall of the Four
Courts, that a ant nge faviiurable to themselves was contem-
,;lated. I have already told you that every proceeding and
every incident in the least affecting Lord Normanby's Govern-
ment is caught at, and, if possible, wrested to the purpose of
making the faction hope they may survive it. In fact,
there is a perfect understanding between the managers
of the Conservative Press in Ireland and the hereditary
?lace-hunters, not under promise of having their wishes
complied wi:h, to work upon public opinion as much as
hey can by circulating reports of this kind. In addition to
this, they have adopted a plan of censuring the public appoint-
ments, and pointing out individuals of the Liberal party more
deserving than those selected by , Government. The insidi
ousness of this last ruse is not seen through by several supposed
friends of the Liberal cause, who have suffered themselves
o become the dupes of i
From all the accounts I have heard to-day, there appears to
be no grounds for the report of six persons killed in a Tithe
affray near Cashel, on Friday last. That such an unfortunate
ind melancholy occurrence may have taken place is not impro-
bable, much less impossible, considering the continued
hostile feelings to tithes ; but the prevailing opinion amongst all
but the bloody Orange enemy is, that the report must be

hound by any moral law to assist in detecting or bringing the
and influence in aid of an enlightened Government, greater
than any hitherto exercised in this respect even by
Lord Nor-
manhy, to eradicate such sentiments from the minds of some
members of a community that it must be confessed has not
been always governed by equal laws. The Catholic Clergy
,hould be appealed to, and enlisted in this service. Of this
more hereafter.
