liars know •thele of -an- uncontra&cted falsehood even
for a day. What, then, must be the value of a lie unan-
swered for a week? Accordingly, the liars, upon pious
Protestant principles, made their subordinate hireling liar,
the Jew, reserve his base falsehood till -Mr. O'Connell was
far off in Derrynane, and then they had the space of a week to
make use of, and trade upon, the mendacity of Raphael.
" CARLOW, Nov. 3, 1835.

" MY DEAR O'CoNsEt.,—Having seen in one of the Dublin
papers of yesterday a letter from Mr. Raphael of London, in
which he refers to certain transactions relating to his late
election for this county and the subsequent petition, I do not
delay a moment in stating that the insinuations conveyed
against you in that gentleman's letter respecting pecuniary
matters, are perfectly unfounded. I make use of the word
insinuations, for I see no direct charge ; nor indeed can I by
any means divine the object of the publication. The whole of
the sum handed to you by Mr. Raphael to cover the expenses
of the contest in which he was returned for this county, was
transmitted by you to the county through me, to the uttermost
fraction. The greater portion of the money being in-
tended to defray expenses incurred in this country was neces-
sarily remitted by bills on Dublin.
" If it were not superfluous for me to bear testimony t. 3 the,
people of Ireland in any proceedings in which your honour is
involved, I would add, that in all the transactions between Mr.
Raphael and this county, in which you acted as the mutual
friend of both parties, and to all of which I believe I was
privy, your conduct was most upright, and honourable.
" Believe me ever yours,
" To Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M. P."

DUBLIN.-TUESDAY.

IRISE ASSISTANT BARRISTERS.

It is said another chairmanship has become vacant by
the promotion of Mr. Macair of Wexford, to, the Chief
Justiceship of Prince Edward's Island. No doubt the
place will be filled up with the same attention to the in-
terest of the community that have marked all the other
appointments of the present Government. The nomi-
nation of Mr. Gibson, not Hudson as I supposed, to
the county of Waterford, has given very general satisfac-
tion. He is a Northern, an inhabitant- I believe of Bel-
fast ; he is, though not a Roman Catholic, a steady friend
of the popular cause. I understand, also, that it has been
determined on removing such assistant Barristers as pre-
side in counties on their own circuits to different places ;
indcei, a general move of these functionaries would do
the State some service, for many of the old school being
Tories, and having a natural bias in favour of their party,
stand in the way of the electors on the popular side, who
claim the franchise in their Courts. The Regi.ttry Bill,
introduced by the Irish Attorney-General.. last Session,
would do much to cure this evil ; but their Lordships
could not allow even this trilling measure of justice to pass
their House. In a little time, and with an Administration
such as we have on this side the Channel, we will not
have to thank the Peers for some reform in the. Registering
department.
