The Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, the Lord Chancellor, and almost every
"person of note" in Dublin, attended the inaugural banquet of the new Lord Mayor, on Thursday. The Earl of Carlisle said, he should hail peace, when all claims of faith and honour are secured, with "un- measured joy." The Lord Chancellor said, there was nothing at which himself and his judicial friends would rejoice more than at the intelli- gence that "a heavy cause has been settled." Mr. Recorder Shaw, while indulging in anticipations of peace, also expressed a hope that we shall not be overreached in diplomacy.
At a meeting of the electors of Edinburgh, held in the Music Hall on Thursday,—the Lord Provost in the chair —a resolution in favour of Mr. Adam Black, as the successor to Mr. Macaulay, was adopted after hearing that gentleman. At an earlier stage of the proceedings, on the invitation of the chairman, the meeting adopted an address expressing their wannest gratitude and regard to Mr. Macaulay, and bidding him an affectionate farewell.
Mr. Samuel Warren's canvass at Midhinst has been thoroughly suc- cessful, and places him beyond the reach of eprsition. The writ, we understand, reached Midhurst yesterday. It is considered a singular in- cident in the history of what Mr. Disraeli would term "literary states- manship," that on the same day—the 19th January—Mr. Macaulay an- nonneed that he had taken leave of political life, and Mr. Samuel War- ren, claiming the suffisiges of the electors of Midhurst, stated his inten- tion to commence his political existence.—Horning Herald. Feb. 2.
