Full Text

It is asserted on good authority, that his Grace of Northumberland will be the last nobleman who will fill the office of Lord Lieutenant. The contemplated changes are, as we announced some months ago, the appointment of a Secretary for Ireland, who is to have, in virtue thereof, a seat in the Cabinet, and in whom is to be vested all the responsibility of the government, and all the patronage of the country. In addition to this arrangement, Lord Lieutenants of counties, the same as in England, are to be appointed, with an express stipulation that they are to be constantly resident in their counties; consequent upon this arrangement all the present commissions of the peace are to be called in, and new ones issued by the respective Lords Lieutenants of the counties. By this means all cause of invidiousness in a Radical Reform of the Irish Magistracy will be avoided.--Dublin Evening Post.
