II DUBLIN.
A London paper states that on Lord
Cadogan's return to Ireland he will
: probably make an announcement re-
garding the projected visit of the King
!, and Queen. 1t is whispered that this
cannot take place before the corona

further rumor prevails that Lord Cad
ogan will give up his Office as lord
lieutenant. He has been so little in
ireland Of late that the Irish are in
a great measure prepared for his final
departure, which, no doubt, they will
i, bear with a sufficient amount of
/ philosophy.
