FRO.II OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT.

MONDAY MORNING

THERE is no doubt whatever that the junior Treasury
Lord's defeat at the hands of an Irish constituency, over
which, for so many years, he exercised almost magical
control, has caused considerable annoyance and disap-
pointment in Ministerial circles, and led to more than
one Cabinet consultation. Lord ABERDEEN is very sore
indeed at the result of the Carlow electon, and the diffi-
culty of finding out a seat for Mr. SADLEIR is said to be so
involved, that even the boasted talents of the great coali-
tionists fail to master it. Up to last Wednesday week all
went on swimmingly with the RI:SSELL-ABERDEENITES,
who accepted office and presented themselves on the hus-
tings for re-election ; but the good old Tories of Carlow,
aided by the "great Bishop of the West," as that huge
quack Quaker, FRED. LUCAS, designates WHALE,
thought it high time to upset the Ministerial chariot, and
they certainly succeeded with a vengeance. As a matter
of course. Masters COPPOCK and HATTER intend getting up
petitions againstALExANDEß's return. The subject was dis-
cussed at the Reform Club, in secret conclave, on Friday
night, when Join( SADLEIR made his appearance among
his political friends, and recounted the various devices by
which he had been robbed of his honoured parliamentary ti-
tle. But it seems, according to rather authoritative rumour,
that we are to have something more formidable than com-
monplace pellets pelted at the chosen of the Carlow
Tories and their new friends, the Beresford-place Tenant-
leaguers. Lord ABERDEEN thinks an example should be
made of that section of the Irish people who offered insult
to his Government, by rejecting their newly-installed
Treasury Officer. When Parliament meets, ail the cir.
cumstanccs connected with tilt recent contest are to be
brought under the consideration of the House of Com-
mons, as the basis for demanding the appointment of a
committee of enquiry, with a view to no less an important
step than the disfranchisement of the borough of
Carlow, on charges of the grossest bribery and

something to the tune of £20,000 changed hands
between the nomination of candidates and the wind-
ing up of the poll. Wives, it is said, in eight or ten
instances, have received £3OO each for sending their
franchised husbands to an adjoining county, and £6OO was
the current price for plumpers. Strange statements these ;
they form the leading topic of conversation just now in
Whig political circles, and if their truth can be established,
the chances are at least twenty to one, that within six
weeks after Parliament re-assembles,Carlow will be blotted
out of the electoral map of Ireland, and the independent
gentlemen of the immaculate borough left to exercise
their wits in feathering their nests by some more credita-
ble pursuit than the barter of their constitutional privi-

Lord JOHN RUSSELL is announced " slightly indis-
posed," so saith the ministerial movement Chronicler.
To-morrow or next day his malady will assume a more
decidedly serious aspect. In about one week hence you
may expect to find it recorded, on high medical authority,
that the labours of the Foreign-office have completely
undermined his nervous system, and that Lord JOHN
must no longer spend his days in Downing-street, dictat-
ing despatches at the desk from which, with great bad
taste and acid venom, he succeeded in bundling poor
Lord PALMERSTON neck and crop. This sickness is
neither more nor less than sham. The FOREIGN SECRE-
TARY is just as well as I am—able to master all the
delicacies of the season, and a good bottle of hock into
the bargain. But Lord CLARENDON, who was promised
the office when the ABERDEEN administration was in pro-
gress of formation, kicks against acting the part of walking
gentleman any longer ; and some excuse is deemed ab-
solutely necessary for Lord JOHN'S retirement. Indeed, I
understand that Tuesday week is named for the transfer
of the office, and the perpetuation of a job in the concep-
tion and carrying out of which, the force of Whig-cunning
has completely baffled the wily diplomacy of mon cher
Aberdeen and his Peelite associates.

You will be the first to announce that Lord ABERDEEN
and Lord JOHN RUSSELL, by the command of the Sove-
reign, have given instructions to Sir JOHN YOUNG, Chief
Secretary for Ireland, and to the Irish Attorney and
Solicitor-General, to prepare with all possible expedition,
so that it may be complete by the third week of the ses-
sion, an extensive measure of land reform, which will
recognise to the fullest extent the rights of the tenantry of
Ireland, and place within their grasp redress of those
grievances which they have long suffered, and which have
impeded the prosperity and marred the happiness of the
country. It is high time that something should be done
to take the wind out of the sails of the mountebanks con-

stituting the Tenant L

LORD ABERDEEN'S finishing stroke in the construction

of his administrative body-guard is one of those clever bits
of artistic statesmanship which are occasionally to be
found among the chef d' ouvres of our political old masters.
Disregarding the advice of the Leviathan of the London
press, and implicitly following the course pointed out by
your correspondent, the PREMIER has just conferred the
office of Under-Secretary for Ireland—an exceedingly
important position as regards the government of the sister
country—on Major LARCOM, for a long time honourably
associated with the Ordnance Department, and Deputy-
chairman of the Board of Works. In my letter about a
fortnight or three weeks ago, I stated reasons for suggest-
ing that political services should not be made the test of
competency for the Under-Secretaryship. Nay, more,
you will find prominent among my recommendations
the good policy of conferring the appointment on a
non-political man, and rendering it altogether inde-
pendent of Ministerial changes. With the shrewdness
of an old and wary diplomatist, the Earl of ABERDEEN
has taken the hint, and I should not be at all surprised if
it proves a step for abolishing, at no very distant period,
the office of Lord-Lieutenant, which (as it has been car-
ried out by the Liberals) has done more to wards de-
nationalizing and degrading the Irish people than the
mob-legislation of the last half-century.

" How d've do, Mr. PANIZZI ?" " Bohn ! Bohn !"
A vile, a cruel pun, Mr. P., after the bothering you gave
that worthy bibliopole the other day at Bow-street. And
you, too, Mr. BALLANTINE, learned in the law, to say
before his Worship and Mr. PANIZZI that " Englishmen
knew how to treat each other, and by no Englishman
would Mr. Boux have been exposed to the annoyance and
trouble which he had lately had to endure after so many
years of public utility." Englishman, forsooth Is not
Signor PANIZZI as much an Englishman as you, Mr. 8.,
for all your British name ? May not the fingers which now
manipulate the pages of Poiybius, in the noble library of
the B. M., have helped to make and mould Polonies in a
jolly English ham and beef shop under the shade of St. Paul's
dome ? Yea, verily. May not an English Archbishop
have taken Mr. P. under his lawn, and made him an
early protege? There is no harm in all this ; but let us
ask Mr. PANIZZI, "Is your catalogue getting on ?"

" Will it ever be finished ?" A great portion of last Thur-
sday was passed in the fcetid atmosphere of Bow-street
Police-office, tormenting a man who has contributed
thousands of volumes to the national library ; a
large fee out of the nation's purse must go to
counsel ; might not the day have been better occu-
pied in going into another letter in the catalogue, and the
amount of the fee laid out in books which neither Mr.
Bosh nor any other English bookseller publishes, a plenti-
ful lack of which characterises the national establishment ?
This same tax upon the publishers is an intolerable bore.
I remember when the publishing trade was better
worth belonging to than in the present year of grace '53 :
then I have known a publisher, with tears in his eyes, see
£6O worth of books carted away, in a single day, to the
British Museum, Zion College, Oxford, Cambridge, &c.
As we are beginning to look after the proper administra-
tion of the Fine Arts—though the skinning of the old
masters in the National Nuisance—l beg pardon, Gallery,
has not yet been given over—let us hope that a commis-
sion of real practical men will look after the Museum.
