Lord Palmerston,s Retirement from Public Life.

Lord Palmerston's Retirement from Public Life.
The Sligo reand Chroniele, says that it is enabled
to state from authority that is perfectly reliable that
Lord Palmerston is about to retire from public lle in
duced thereto by the urgent entreay of Lady
and still more, no doubt by increasing deafness, which
renders it impossible to follow take part in the de-
bates in Parliament without painful effort, which is
not always successful The Chron1e adds, that the ex-
Premier is to take up his residence at Clfeny, near
Sligo, where suitable mansion i3 to be erected
@Viscount Palmerston, whose family name is Temple
is native of Ireland and his Peerage which is an Irish
one does not enttle him seat in the House of Lords
He must now be fully seventy years of age if not more
and it is about time for him to retire Like most Irish
men holding high Office under the British government,
he is more English than the English themselves and ap-
pears to have less sympathy with the grievances
real or supposed, of his native Island.

Palmerstooha8 become the proprietor of the London
Morning Post newspaper. This is bad if true-the old
fellow did very we'll for Cabinet Minister but we doubt

Wilmington as well as of Newbern. The New Era is
evidently dsplegscd at the conduct of Wilmington in
continuing to exist and of the Journal in proclaiming

this gives so much offence to the New Fro, we feel called
upon to make the a1nende honorable, and take it all
back the hope that may thus remove the irritation
of captiOus contemporary. So then no lot OF flour
was sent to Newbern and flour sold there, Gte,

doubt it. for after quarreng with for stating the fact
we find it afterwards stating the same thing ITSELF Sc
there is no pleasing it. We stated fact which the
Mem Era itself confirms, and it squabbles We take il
all back and state that it is such thing and

our spirit of accommodation will be as rate as ever
That Wilmington and Fayetteville should like to ge
all the trade they can aud that their citizens should k

They have no idea of injuring Newbern-that is no
