LORD Ro>,E's ALLEGED PREDIcrIoS OF ExcEs-
syE HKAT.-For some months past idle rumors have
prev allied to the effect that the Earl of Rose has de-
cared it as his belief that the approaching Summer
would be Of the hottest ever witnessed In
Ireland. Upon this absurd report another was found
ed that the noble Earl had crested houses for the
shelter OF his cattle from the expected tropical heat
of the Summer and that many gentlemen, relying
upon the distinguished reputation OF Lord ROSse g.
an astronomer, had followed bis example in preparing
accommodation to stabilized their stock during the hot
season IL IL a sfnentabie evidence of credulty,
among educated people, that al those ridiculous
tales were believed by many. But they are now CON.
pletey disposed OF IN the following communication,
which we have received this morning from Lord
Rosse: The Castle, Parsontown, March p, 1853.
Lord ROsse presents his compliments to the editor OF
The EreRiHg Post, aud. having obseryeds quotation
from The Limerick reporter, III which his name Is
associated with some conjecture as TO the approaching
season. be begs to say that he has never expressed
any opinion on the subject Dublin Evening Post
MR. ALLSoP AND his PHOPos.L TO THE GOVERN
NrST.-On Thursday last we announced that Mr.
Thomas Allsop, for whose apprehension warrant has
been issued, charging him with consprlng TO assass-
nate Napoleon, had offered to surrender, il the Gov
eminent would guarantee the expenses OF his defense
This announcement has been copied into s the prin-
cipa newspapers of the country and has been placed
before the Government. No answer has yet how
ever been received, although We believe one may be
expected in q few days, the Government having the
matter under consideration. Since the article in
which We made known Mr.. AllsOps intention was
published relative Of the accused has corroborated
our information, and has verified belief that Mr..
Alsop knew nothing of the conspiracy to kill Nspo-
leon. The gentleman who he's thus confirmed our en-.
ucipstiCns and our announcement writes:

the emphasis Of which language is capable, that Mr.
Thomas Asop lie entirely innocent of the charges laid

any other attempt was To he made, and that he de-
