Advice on matrimonial matters; approves of Nassau William Senior's long 'apprenticeship.'.

[Copy, corrected by Senior].

Re Oregon question; unwilling to give views on affair but sends 2 pamphlets (one by Sturgis). Displeased with 'unfriendliness' of 'liberal party in England' to USA Critical of reliance on Nootka Sound Convention; the proposal that the boundary should be the 49th parallel is reasonable as S. has said, but British govt have been influenced by fur companies who are afraid of losing £10,000 worth of beaver. Govt risks the peace of the world by binding itself to the decisions of its predecessors.

Re publication of Nassau William Senior's works in French by Arrivabene. Copy [original enclosed in C23].

Has heard from Lansdowne that S. is writing an article on Ireland for the Edinburgh Review; wishes to make some observations; defends Poor Law; comments on relations of landlord and tenant; opposes the suggestion that Parliament should sit occasionally in Dublin; gives reasons; comments on payment of RC clergy; is leaving for Edwinsford, Llandovery, on Monday. 'Private'.

Has received letter of Nov. 24; glad that their views are 'so much in unison.' Wishes he had recommended occasional sittings of Parliament in Dublin '... & proposed for consideration Royal visits.' Believes O'Connell would approve of these; hopes he will be able to discuss these matters with S. at Castle Hill.

Thanks for pamphlets; comments on attack on Miss Fox; Lord Grey; Irish trials; flattered by Nassau William Senior's comments on Castle Hill.
