The statement that the Prince of \Vales intends to purchase

Tollymore Park has been denied on authority. The announcement will be received with deep regret by every Irishman, and every English Liberal who remembers that caste pride is as strong among nations as individuals, that no slights gall so deeply as those which are embittered by relationship. Ireland gets justice, but she wants consideration too, and ought to have it from the Royal family as well as from Parliament. If the decision has come from the Ministry, we regret it as a political mistake ; if from the Prince himself, his Royal Highness may yet regret the loss of the best opportunity his friends will ever have of bringing his claims before Parliament.
