IRELAND.  DUBLIN, SATURDAY,  There is a feeling of disappointment in some quarters that an Irishman has not been appointed Chief Secretary for Ireland ; though it is admitted that it would. be impossible to select any Irishman who would unite the suffrages of all parties. But among the English members of Parliament, I am sure there is not one whose appointment would be so generally acceptable as the one that has been made. Sir Robert Peel has given offence to the Ultramontane party by his allusions to the Papacy, and his sympathy with the Italians ; but the Roman Catholics do not apprehend that his advocacy of freedom and good government in Italy will render him less zealous in upholding and enforcing in Ireland the principles that he has so eloquently advocated in Parliament, while his well-known fairness and generosity will win for him the confidence of the nation. The Daily Express, the leading Conservative organ here, having referred to Mr. Cardwell's removal to the Duchy of Lancaster says : " The selection of his successor is quite a surprise to us, and we cannot say a disagreeable one. Who could have thought that we should have another Sir Robert Peel as Chief Secretary for Ireland ? How different the two men, though father and son ! —but not more different than the times in which each was bound to serve his official apprenticeship in Dublin Castle. The present Sir Rob -rt has not much of the wisdom of the serpent, but then he has not fallen upon a generation of vipers. It is much easier to rule 6,000,000 of people, well fed, than 8,000,000 half-starved, especially when the well-fed people are destitute of political grievances, and the half-started people had an overwhelming number of them, real and imaginary—the imaginary being the source of the greatest misery and the most vehement agitation. The dash and almost reckless honesty and candour of Sir Robert Peel made us think sometimes that a little of the AngloIrish blood had somehow got into his veins, or that his father, while residing in Ireland, had imbibed from the atmosphere something of the national spirit which comes out in the genial and generous temperament of his son. The present Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, Chief Secretary for Ireland, must have unbounded respect for the memory of the illustrious statesman whose name he bears ; but we trust his personal acquaintance with Ireland will soon convince him that in one particular, at all events,his father, with all his enlightened views and practical wisdom, evinced more prejudice than prudence--that is, when he ordered in his will that none of his money should be invested in Irish property,  CoTnilseervnati"veNews Letter, another influential Be fast journal, best that Lord Palmerston appointment as one of the " We look uponsays:— right hon. baronet a has made, and, if the his very great talents to ;sthall very soon have the business of the office, iountioont mof his energy reason to rejoice at the substitution will toel 11;e for the weakness and vacillat. This, I have reason to believe, the general opinion of the country. The Commissioners of Education in Ireland who have charge of the Royal schools and the diocesan schools, have submitted to the Lord Lieutenant their report for 1860.61, which has been published. It is, as usual, brief and rather meagre. It is of a threefold character, referring to the course of instruction in the schools, the condition of the school premises, and the management of the estates and funds which constitute the respective endowments. -With respect to the Royal schools, the Commissioners, with the assistance and advice of certain Fellows of Trinity College, have prescribed as a qualification for the competitive examination for the "Royal Scholar discover the murderers.
