CoNNELT. IN ins Sax OowN.--Mr. O'Connell's entry into the Court
of Chancery (Dublin) on the first day of Term occasioned a sensation. The learned gentleman modestly took his seat at the extremity of the *King's Counsel bar ; but Mr. Henchy, by whom he had placed himself, -Twisted upon the precedence which the Royal letter had conferred. Mr. O'Coznell, after some complimentary bowing, passed Mr. Henchy and ''came in contact with Mr. Lefroy, who exchanged similar demonstrations .elf iwognition, and insisted upon placing his great political opponent above him ; which the latter, with the most bland expression of coun- %mance, appeared to deprecate; however he yielded, and moved a step farther up, which brought him at once side by side with the Attorney- (istoral, who raised up his full and intelligent eye upon the "new beaming proft..sjmal welcome. The Lord Chancellor appeared 't,i mi.ke 111'. Wort to preserve his habitual gravity whilst this amiable co- `;3:etr-,- took place.,-..DribIin, Morning Post.

Ti,ese alterations are ordered, we understand, preparatory to their Ma- jesties taking possession of the new palace ; and our informant adds that titiey are to be commenced this week.-Times. [Mr. Nash being now discharged, we suppose a little additional outlay must be contrived to re- munerate his successor. For what was the present form given to the (anal.? Was it because the palace was not to be occupied that the ex- pense of turning and twisting it was incurred ? The Ministers have • been loud-none louder-in inveighing against the expense of the new palace, and chiefly because it was lavished not to suit the taste of the nation, but the taste of the King ; whose taste is it that requires lodges which lead to nothing, and fountains in a climate wherefor nine months in the year fire is more acceptable than water ?]
