SIR JOHN HOBHOUSE.-It is very true that
tots
gentleman has not accepted the office of Secretary for
Ireland ; but it is equally true that it was offered to him.

ANOTHER NEW ADMINISTRATION.-
previous to the commencement of the elections, the KING,
Trough the medium of his Secretary (Sir HERBERT
,AYLOR), expressed to the Duke of WELLINGTON a desire
t
tiollit his Grace should join the present Government, and go
the Horse Guards ; and also made a similar communi-
/tion to Sir ROBERT PEEL, to whom Lord GODERICII'S
'ee Was proposed—on the ground that the state of the
e?tlntry might be materially injured by the factious oppo-
s
itio
nof their party. His MAJESTY requested them, as
patriots, to make a sacrifice of personal feelings, and
t'lla check the intemperance and violence of their disap-
pointed allies. The Duke refused ! and so did Sir
°aßna,,—at the same time adding, that though he could
b
Pert
join the present Cabinet, he would cordially form a
Of a new one. This matter has been the subject of
d'"P discussion in the Conservative Club at Carlton-ter-
tVe• On his MAJESTY'S part, this scheme for mitigating
e irritation of faction is, since the result of the elections,
lad the abortive coalition of the Tories and Ultra-Radi-
-411 has been seen,no longer thought necessary.—Spectator.
