LORD CLARRNDON.—The Queen's letter was dis-
patched to Ireland on Saturday, appointing Lords
Justices to administer the government of that country
during the absence of the Lord-Lieutenant. The Arch-
bishop of Dublin, the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and
the Commander of the Forces are named in the com-
mission to act in the place of the Earl of Clarendon, to
enable his Excellency to pay a short visit of a few days
to London, usual at this period of the year. Lord
Clarendon will leave Dublin on Monday. It is not im-
probable that during his short stay Ministers will avail
themselves of his presence to discuss more closely the
present condition of Ireland. The intended visit of the
Court, postponed by the unhappy circumstances of the
country, so detrimental to its best interests, may still,
perhaps, form one of the subjects for discussion. It is
the people of Ireland—loyal and good-hearted in the
main—that suffer in this, as well as in many other
respects, for the violence and folly of their self-consti-
wmeaegki;tra fourtes o Bard
tuted leaders and agitators by profession.—Observer.
