Changes already taken place, and others rumoured on good authority,
look wondrous like setting one's house in order, or shifting the canvass to prepare for the coming storm. Mr. M‘Causland, Lord Plunkett's brother-in-law, has resigned his Secretaryship, worth 2,000/. a year, but depending on the Chancellor's tenure of office, for the more permanent situation of Clerk of the Council, although it is but 700/. a year. A Mr. Connellan is appointed Secretary. Who or what this gentleman is, we know not. Negotiations for Lord Plunkett's retirement before his masters in office, are said to be far advanced, in order to put into his place some favourite, however unqualified, who may be entitled by his retirement to the pension of 4,000/. a year. This is a job worthy the performers to close their scenes with.—Dublin Guardian.

It is expected that an awful exposure of this Papistic4 nuisance will be the result of their conference; and an appeal to the sense of the nation to have the system which works so well in Doctor Dens Murray's eye modified and altered.—Dublat Correspondent of the Post.
The Marquis of Londonderry, in a pungent and not over-civil letter to the Duke of Leinster, has refused compliance with his Grace's request to sanction and aid the plan of Irish Railways recommended by the Railway Commissioners.
