The Dublin Evening Post•says-
" None of the English Tory journals, certainly not any of the!r organs pre- tending to a shred of character for accuracy, have yet been brazen enough to claim an advantage at the anntn,1 registration now in prozre,s iii ElOand."
And the Pilot-
" After analysing all our accounts again from England, since we last did so up to a certain point, we find, that instead of a diminution of Liberals, there has been an actual increase, which we shall ham an early opportunity of illus- trating in detail. From one very well .informed quarter we Lath, that the cal- culation is that England will give the Liberal came, in ease of a dissolution of Parliament at L'oster, which is positieel e,,,,yug•t::!:.(1, a meiseity of ten Liberals."
These are amusing specimens of Milesiaa as:arance. The assum- ing as unquestioned facts, first that the Tories claim no gain OR the registry, while (and on very good growl.' too, we belie‘ e) they are boasting of it in all directions—secondly, tlr.t a majority of ten for the Liberals is the result of oalettlations in svell-infortned quarters front the contradictory data supplied by incomplete returns from the Bar- risters' Courts,---this is inde2d characteristic and cool—a leap over the obstacles of truth and co in sense—a feat which only an Irishman could perform in such pliant style. There is tu be a dissolution, tuo, at Easter. Dv whom: Sir Robert Peel ? Not by Lord Melhourne_ assuredly.; for, though the opponents of Corn-laws niay be " mad," his Lordship is shrewd enough to know
• that a general election would prostrate the Whige.
