BELFAST.

Tke new Solicitor• General has issued the following
address :

" TO THZ ILECTORS OF TUX BOROUGH OF BEI.FAST.

" Gentlemen,—Having accepted the office of her Ma-
jesty's Solicitor-General my seat in the House of Commons
has become vacant, and I venture to ask from you the
restoration of the important trust you have already twice
committed to my care. My public conduct has been.now for
some years before you—my political principles are well
known to you. In discharging the important duties of a
law officer of the Crown, I trust that, without any depar-
ture from those principles, I may be enabled to find
enlarged means and opportunities of promoting all mea-
sures of public advantage and improvement, and of watch-
ing over the interests of the town and constituency with
which I am connected by birth and long association, and
to represent which I consider the highest honour that can
befall me is public life. I hope to have the pleasure of
waiting upon you as soon as the arrangements consequent
on my new duties will permit me. And meantime I have
the honour to be, gentlemen, your obliged and very faith-
fnl servant, " H. M. CAIRNS."
