I hear on excellent authority that Mr. Birrell is resigning the Irish secretaryship. Mr. Asquith bas persuaded him to remain in office for the present, but the au- nouncement of his resignation will possibly be made before this latter reaches you. Mr. Birrell is one of the most cheerful, genial and warm-hearted men, and in some, | paradial kingdom would make an ideal minister of slate but his harmonious temperament hardly chimes with the lively discords of our British empire. He is one of those perplexing obaracters of a perplexing age-a Democrat who wants to leave things alone. He hates fuss, loathes strife and likes to hear the clock ticking.
