SIR HENRY HARDINGE.—We are assured, in a
quarter entitled to credit, that Sir Henry Hardinge is not to
be the new Secretary. He is of the Tory set the Secretary
that would be most acceptable to the Irish, and this is the very
reason, we believe, why it is intended to give him another de-
stination.—Dublin Morning Regtster.
FIRE AT CASTLE-OTWAY.—The Conservatives
have been laughing at the charge against certain individuals,
for being concerned in the attempt to burn Castle- Otway, the
residence of Otway Cave, Esq., in the county of Tipperary.
They will find, however, that it is no laughing matter. We
have learned that a warrant has been issued, with the sanction
of Mr. Blackburne, for the arrest of a gentleman of rank,
charged with being implicated in the conspiracy, and to whom
the phrase " incendiary " may be applicable in more than a
political sense.—Dublin Morning Register.
THE DICTATOR AND THE PRESS.—We request
attention to a portion of an article of the Courier, as an indica-
tion of the altered tone of one of the Duke's chief supporters.
We aro inclined to attribute the Courier's qualified support of
the Tory chief hitherto to mistaken views, which that Journal
now sees reason to abandon : but the Times—its undisguised
abandonment of principle—its shameless disregard of anything
like consistency—its sacrifices of all claim to honesty of pur-
pose in order to gratify personal resentments, are, perhaps,
unparalleled in the annals of political profligacy, in any age or
country.—Dublin Morning Register.
LAW APPOINTMENT.—Mr. P. Murphy, a Ro-
man Catholic Barrister, who retired from the political arena
upon the dissolution of the late Roman Catholic Association,
has, by the Marquis Wellesley, been appointed Assistant-
Barrister for the county of Limerick, in room of Mr. Cruise,
who died yesterday morning. This is a lucky hit of 900/.
a-year, which the Learned GPntleman might never have ob-
tained had Mr. Cruise lived a few days longer.—Hibernian
United Service Journal.
STANHOPE AND TYNE r. AIL-ROAD.—The
Waldridge Colliery commenced their lea,"ings on the rail-
road on Thursday, on which day 10} keels, ,:sr 222 tens of
coals were conveyed down a distance of thirteen miles' and
shipped on board the Favourite, at South Shields, .by the
Company's drop, in two hours. In the evening the ownex.:q of
the Waldridge Colliery entertained the resident Directors
the rail-road, and a few friends at dinner at the Golden Lion.

A TOWING WHALE.--Tuesday afternoon a fisher-
man of the name of Forward, of Ramsgate, went out to fish
in his punt, and whilst at anchor, about half a mile from the
Pier head, his punt was suddenly raised up by an enormous
fish, which by some means got the cable athwart his fin, and
raising the anchor from the ground carried the boat and the
astounded fisherman away with him. As the punt was only
about thirteen feet long, the poor man, alth,'ugh be bad got
his knife ready for cutting the cable, was feartu: of doing so
lest the boat might go down head foremost. After be;:ig !owed
at the rate of twenty-five miles per hour for some dist""'
the animal fortunately disengaged himself from the cable an:
rose to the surface, when forward, to his great surprise, found
out that the fish was monstrous whale, of at least sixty feet
long, with his back covered with barnacles and o:her shell
fish. Ludicrous as the above statement may lippesr, it is
nevertheless true ala lettre. The affrighted man has z eturnerl
safe to port with his punt, and has become an object o f great
interest from the miraculous escape which he has experi enlfd•
