The friends of Colonel EVANS are exerting themselves to secure
his return for Westminster ; but the party which supports Sir JOHN HOB- nousE have so great a command of the machinery requisite to carry an election, and have besides such pecuniary resources, that, notwithstand- ing the cordiality with which Colonel EVANS has been received by a large body of the voters, his success is doubtful.
It is confidently asserted that Sir Jour/ HoanousE's resignation of the Secretaryship of Ireland has not been accepted by the King, and that lie will retain his office after all. Why does not Sir JOHN authorize some of the organs of his party-Lthe Globe, for instance—to deny the truth of this calumnious rumour ?
