SUN OFFICE Three o'Cluch.

The Government, we have reason to believe, has de-
cided upon the removal of Lord DE GREY from the Lord
Lieutenantship of Ireland, and the will of the Cabinet to
this effect has already been communicated to his Lordship.
To cover the recal of the Noble Earl from an office to
fill which no British-born Peer could be more incompe-
tent, it has been suggested that he shall plead severe ill-
ness, and implore her MAJESTY to relieve him from the
cares of a state trying even to the soundest constitutions.
This boon will be granted with the best grace in the
world ; his Lordship's illness will be royally deplored ;
and exceeding regret will be expressed that the Govern-
ment should be deprived of the invaluable services of so
prudent and sagacious an Irish Chief Magistrate. The
farce, however, will deceive no person. Lord DE GREY
is to be removed from the government of Ireland, because
he leagued himself with the Orange faction, and re-
solved to govern Ireland upon Orange principles.
The Lord Chancellor, Sir EDWARD SUDDEN, and the
Irish Secretary, Lord ELIOT, had the good sense
to oppose this retrograde policy. They saw very
well that the Orange system of Government could never
again be revived in Ireland, without perilling the horrors
of a civil war, and their acts, since their accession to
office, have consisted chiefly of a series of protests
against the measures proposed by the Lord „Lieute-
nant. Sir R. PEEL, who has business enough on his
hands without a rebellion in Ireland, has agreed to the
recal of the Noble Earl, whose retirement may now be
daily expected. In fact, the Ministry have decided that
Ultra-Tory principles must be abandoned by the Irish
Government. It is no longer doubtful that five-sixths of
the Irish people are decidedly Liberal, and that their
opinions can no longer be influenced by the politics of
Dublin Castle. They are therefore to have an adminis-
tration more in harmony with their wants and wishes,
in order to weaken as much as possible the influence of
Mr. O'CONNELL and the Repeal agitation. Ireland will
not be governed upon avowedly Whig principles, but in
reality no other principles will meet with the approbation
of Sir R. PEEL. Of one thing we are certain, and that
is, that after the removal of Lord DE GREY, Ireland
will enjoy a more liberal Government than she did under
the Whig administration of Earl GREY, when she had
an ANGLEsEA. for Lord Lieutenant.

We have heard it confidently •stated, that Lord DE
GREY will be succeeded in the Government of Ireland
by the Duke of BuccEEEcii. Without looking beyond
the ranks of his party, we do not think Sir ROBERT
could chooso a better man. The Duke, as a Scotchman,
would have to encounter some prejudices in the capacity
of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, but these would disappear
the instant PADDY found that the Duke was rich, libe-
ral, and resolved to see justice done to Catholic and
Protestant equally. It is to prevent any misconception
of the character of the Duke of BUCCLEUCII
on the part of the Irish Press, that we take upon us to
assure them that we know no reputed Tory who would
more liberally and impartially administer the Govern-
ment of Ireland than the Nobleman in question. He
has no sympathies with the Orange faction, and is
capable of respecting the mistaken prejudices of a
people, who maintained with so much obstinacy,, under
such long and severe trials, the faith and the customs of
their fathers.

We congratulate Sir R. PEEL upon the moderation of
the policy which he has resolved to adopt towards Ire-
land. It is the wisest, safest, and best course that he
could pursue. By no other could the union of the two
countries be now maintained. Nor will it prove less
important in another point of view. Sir ROBERT
PEEL is fast breaking the neck of Toryism in Eng-
land, whereas in Ireland he must soon extinguish
it altogether. Let him only take a few
steps more in the path which he is now following, and
we see nothing to prevent a coalition of parties, in which
Lord JOHN RUSSELL and himselt may sit cheek by jowl
upon the Treasury Bench. Even now his stanchest
supporters are, in four cases out of five, the Whigs. Mr.
FERRAND has not half so much right to boast that he
extirpated the Corn,law League as Sir ROBERT PEEL
has, that he has broken the back of Toryism in Great
Britain, and is bent upon breaking the neck of Orangeism
in Ireland. In so praiseworthy a work, where is the
Liberal that will not wish the Premier Deceiver-Gene-
ral the utmost success ?

It is gratifying to witness the healthy tone which per-
vades the speeches of Members of Parliament on certain
questions, which, but a few years ago, they were almost
afraid to mention, and never had the courage to oppose
openly. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, when Mr. PARINGTON,
brought forward his absurd clause to extend the blessings
of the Metropolitan Police to the country, could see no
harm in a poor man enjoying his " cakes and ale" on a
Sunday as well as a Saturday; and Mr. MACAULAY,
the representative of Edinburgh, so famed for the strict
observance of the Sabbath, absolutely turned the motion
of Mr. PLUMPTRE on Saturday, into ridicule. The motion
was to stop all Sunday travelling, except in cases of
charity and necessity—points, no doubt, very difficult to
decide, and the responsibility of which it would be very
unfair to throw upon the Directors of railways.
What one man might consider a work of neces-
sity, another might regard as a gross de-
secration of the Sabbath. An affectionate father,
for instance, would think it a work of necessity and
mercy to pursue a runaway daughter to Gretna Green,
while an old maid would denounce this paternal conduct
as a great sin. A banker, who was afraid of a run upon
him some fine Monday morning, would consider it a work
of absolute necessity to carry at the utmost railroad
speed his bag of gold, even during the hours of Divine
service, while Sir ANDREW AGNEW would say, "Perish
the bank, but let the sacred day be kept holy." The
motion certainly was extremely absurd, and all the ra-
tional people of Scotland will be delighted to learn that
one of their Members had the manliness to denounce it
in these words :—" If there is any proposition made to
restrain firther Sunday travelling, I shall oppose it to
the utmost, and I now object to the adoption of the clause,
because the House would be placed in a most ludicrous
situation, by adopting so extravagant and monstrous a
proposition." This sentence was loudly cheered from all
parts of the House, and we therefore conclude that while
the present Parliament lasts we shall be saved the
trouble of animadverting on the presumption of
those Sabbatarians who would regulate the con-
duct of every man according to their own bigoted
and superstitious principles. It will be seen from the
list of the division that Mr. PLUMPTRE and Mr. HARDY,
the tellers, had only eight Members to support them ;
and, to the credit of the Liberal party, they were, with
one exception, Tories. These, of course, are the only
" ten righteous men" in the House.

The division in the House of Commons, on the second
reading of the Poor-law Bill, is another flagrant proof of
the cool assurance with which many of the Tory Mem-
bers violate the pledges they made to their constituents
on the hustings. Such pledges they seem to look on
quite as matters of course—in fact, as pie-crusts, made
only to be broken. A Tory on the hustings differs
as much from the same Tory in Parliament, as white
differs from black, or light from shade. He is all
for the people in the one case ; he is all for his party in
the other. On the hustings his political conscience is
in an eminent degree ; in the se-
stern and unyielding
nate, it is so pliant and accommodating that, like Indian-
rubber, it will stretch to any extent. Few but must
remember the highly virtuous and indignant manner
in which, at the last election, many of the
Tories spoke against the New Poor-law. It was
a nuisance, they said, a crying injustice
a flagrant enormity—that could not be too soon done
away with. Let them but once get into Parliament, and
then their constituents should see how active, and sea-
lous, and uncompromising they would ba on the subject !
They would pretty quickly make all the supporters of
the heinous measure shake in their shoes ! As for I eing
influenced by party motives on such a momentous mat-
ter—perish the base idea ! they were influenced but by one
feeling, and that was, a determination to do their duty to
their respectable and enlightened constituents, by in-
sisting to the utmost of their power on the immediate
repeal of the tyrannical act in question ! Fine words,
and how have they been followed up? In the division of
Friday night but sixty Members voted against the second
reading of the Poor-law measure, and of these sixty
more than one-half were Liberals ; so that actually not
thirty Tories, out of a body of at least four hundred,
redeemed the pledges they had so eagerly volunteered on
the hustings ! And these are the men who pique
themselves on their honesty, manliness, consistency, and
so forth, and taunt the Whigs with their glaring defici-
encies in these respects One among them—Mr. STUART
WORTLEY—dwelt with special emphasis on his own un-
deviating steadiness of purpose ; but was, nevertheless,
sorely put to it to reconcile his hustings pledges with his
Parliamentary performances. At his election his

intrepid and disinterested patriotism induced him to in-
h most vehem ntly tie! new Poor-law ; but
on Friday night this same patriotisnt :lad somehow or other
played truant ; in fact, it was "non est inventus," and in
its absence, the Hon. Member was found voting for the
second reading of the Bill. To be sure, he seemed per-
fectly aware that he was in—what JONATHAN would
call—" a fix ;" and twisted, and twirled, and wriggled,
like an eel in a cook-maid's fist, and made all sorts
of wry faces, at the idea of supporting a measure
which he had formerly denounced ; still, he
did sup
port it, observing, however, by way of apology f°l*
his tortuous conduct, that he " o.dy voted for the
second reading in an abstract sense ?" What .the
Hon. Member means by the ,4 a'istract sense" of a posi-
tive, matter-of-fact, business like vote, it is impossible
for us to conjecture. With just as much propriety
might he talk of being cashiered at the next election le,
an " abstract sense ;" or of paying his first half-year's
Income-tax in an "an abstract sense !" Possibly, b 0"
ever, he intended only to mystify the House ; and if I°'
he has succeeded most effectually ; for his °fib-
stract sense"—like the late Lord CASTLEREACHI /11:
taphors—is the very perfection of no-meaning.
the bye, we perceive that he has given notice of OS
motions on the subject of the New Poor-law measel,
evidently with a view to maintain his character for co!
sistency, pacify his constituents, and reconcile thou°
his vote. This is but clumsy generalship, for every di?
knows that his motions will never be carried ; that/ #
fact, they are nothing more than a tub thrown out 19,
the whale ;—mere feints, to induce the Hon. Member'
Yorkshire friends to give him credit for being just
strongly opposed to the Poor-law, as he professed WO
self to be on the hustings.
