IRISH CABINET MINISTERS.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE SPECTATOR.”] SIR,—I have waited in vain for any of your correspondents to draw attention to the fact that the present Chancellor of the Duchy is an Irishman, born in Belfast, and partly educated. at the academy of his uncle in that city. Unless Mr. Bryee's sense of humour has been entirely eliminated under the scalpel of his great chief, he must have felt considerably amused to hear himself so completely ignored as a Cabinet Minister. Let us hope that he may soon see the folly of blindly following the vagaries of a mind which, however noble, is so evidently in its decay, and may yet give voice to the warnings of his kindred in the North, who know too well that the way which seems so right to Mr. Gladstone now, must end in death.
