The rich living of T,mplemichael, with its beautiful parsotiare, (held by time late Lord Farnham,) is in the gift of the Archhishen of Tuam ; and be will bestow it, I calculate, on his own son—steal) blame to his Grace, though the boy be no " Hannibal."

The Moil calls Mr. "M'Dermot an agitabar of the first water ; whilst the Pilot seems equally displeased becarsse the appointment has not been given to a more decided Liberal, mud warns the Government that they will "alienate the people from them by this pernicious policy."
