LORD MORPETII'S SWINDLE.—The last Irish measure
introduced by the government turns out to be like all the
rest of the Irish counterfeits. The kind of ruse has so lost
its effect by repetition, that an attempt was felt to be neces-
fresh gloss upon it in order to give it a guise

sary to throw

of newness and genuineness; and, accordingly, Lora done
Russell at first made honourable members on both sides of
the house raise their eye-brows, by saying that, instead of

meant to carry it forward without delay. Ministers, how-
ever, are not quite so rich in expedients that they can thus
easily dispose of their newest and best ; so, on Monday night,
Lord John made the much more congenial announcement
that the bill was to stand over for awhile—to some time even
beyond the Ist of April; the 23rd of April is the day which
he happened to mention. The Whigs have always some
special and all-sufficient reason for such postponements. and
this time the reason is unusually cogent and amusing ; they
cannot go on with the bill because they have not sufficient
information on the subject of its main provision to enable
them to come to a final decision upon it. They were in such
a hurry to bring in some showy bill to drive Lord Stanley's
out of the market, that they positively botched up one in
ignorance of its probable working ; and before they can ven-
ture to offer it out and out for the deliberate refusal of a
committee, they must carry it back to the workshop, and
take it to pieces, again, and remake it, or rather learn how to
ke it. They need more information, they say, about the

In the meantime, ministers have the use of the " new reform
