EVERT day's _additional experience of the state of things in Irela attests the urgent need of poor-law reform. The bungling and inadequate provisions of the bill of 1847 no longer find apologists amongst any clue or callicg. While the munificent grants in aid Iran the British Association lasted, the deficiencies and vices of the measure were unfelt or unregarded. Thoughtful men, indeed, feared and foretold what the consequences must be whenever the attempt should really be made to supply the destitute multitude with food by rates assessed on property not according to any principle of inherent ability or of just liability, but according to the random map made by a blind man tee years ago at Somerset-house, and endoreed " per het by another blind man at the Treasury, eighteen maths since. Present suffering, however, thinks not of the future ; and thus, while the doles of private dimity lasted, the enormity of the impending system situation was, comparatively, little heeded. It seemed ungracious to cavil at prospective dangers, while pen nies wants were in any way provided for ; and these whom sense of the inapplicability and Westin in tie details of the recent enactment prompted them to remonstrate, shrunk from apparent mention with these whose hostility was to the wise and humane principle on which it was founded. But as the eleemosynary aid which for a time emend the nakedness of the land was gradually withdrawn, the manifold defects and misfittings of its legal sabstitute became palpable ; and the mischievous abosmillp became manifest to all un-offic.al mortals of a sense which ordains that property and industry shall be fined to contribute for the support of the poor —not wending to their supposed capabilityof doing so bat according to their ascertained incapacity ! The r ;lof winter, the failure in many districts of o t crop, the abandonment in many instances of farm, and the flight rather than deliberate emigra tion of the industrious and labour-giving classes who would have naturally formed a breakwater between property and pauperism—all tend to force men to combine together in self-defence, and to seek some prompt and efficacious redress of a grievance that is hourly felt to be more and more intolerable. As for attempting to sustain the papule tion of the western unions on the produce of rates levied in each of them respectively, the notion would be ridi'ulous were it not fatal. Even already rates have been collected in the districts to the extent of six and seven shil rn7itn the pound ; in some ten and eleven shillings have been struck ; and in Scariff the nominal nem ment reaches thirteen and sixpence in the pound. It wete just as easy to enforce the payment of as many lies of rupees as to extort within any assignable period such an amount of poor-rates from such a com munity as at present dwell beyond the Shannon and the Lee. The cardinal error in this hap-hazard distribution of the local borthen of a poor law in a country like Ireland appears to have siprang from the assumption that what had been found to work well generally is England must of course be transferable thither. The theory of poor-rate pressure acting's a stimulus to em ployment had been practically found correct on this side of the Channel ; why Lot also upon the other ? Perhaps the true answer may be said to lie in the comparative history of the two countries for generations past. But shortly it may be stated thus : from whatever causes arising poverty in England is the exception not the rule— poverty in at least one-third of Ireland is the rale sot the exception. With us the preemie is oftentimes felt to be seven, but hope enables us to bear up against it, be cause men believe eat if the spare hands are not drawn off and absorbed in new employ ments elsewhere, its local amount may be lessened by combined exertions to give more lend work and wages. A few score additional labourers in a moderate sized agricultural pariah in Doreetshire makes ail the difference between heavy rates and me derate rates; and co-operation being possible among neighbours who come frequently together, and have common and reciprocal interests and feelings, ' there is every motive and every facility for its being attempted. But what motive or what power —what hope, or what possibility is there for such co operation in a union thirty miles long by twenty broad, in which the heads of families requiring out-door relief during eight months of the year are twice or thrice as numerous as those who are nominally classed as ratepayers, and where the entire valuation of the property is less in pounds sterling than the population estimated by the head ? To ex pect farmers or proprietors so circumstanced to under take works of improvement, individually and each of his own accord, with the ultimate object of profit, and the immediate purpose of imperceptibly abating the influx of destitution, is downright nonsense; and to expect . that practical co-operation can take place under such circumstances is equally absurd. The pressure crushes instead of stimulating, and does positive harm instead of good. For the thrifty and industri ous seeing nothing but a widening range of pauper ism around them, and seeing no limit to the rate upon rate which the paid agents of the central theorizers may think fit to impose, naturally resolve to prepare as beet they may for future exactions, by buttoning their pockets tight, and cutting off all exiture that is not absolutely indispensable. First, ex tra labourers are turned adrift • then, farm servants lastly, those who used to earn their bread by indoor-occupations. It is incredible to what an extent this fatal change has been forced on during the last few months, every day adding to the number of involuntary but inevitable idlers. It is said that tardy conviction has begun to work its way in the minds of those in authority, so far as the extravagant size of unions and divi sions of unions is concerned; and that the com mission of inquiry, appointed in March last, in compliance with the unanimous demands of the members for Ireland, is prepared to report in favour of partition and re-distribution in several in 'dances. But mere partition and re-distribution are not enough. To diminish the area of taxation, with oat providing some limit to the amount which the poorer and more 000ulotis districts may be called upon to pay, would only be a huge piece of favouritism on the one band, and of summary confiseaffon on the other. There is no social equity, there is no political prudence, and there is no Howl use in endeavouring to perpetuate dispropor tionate taxes, or to exact the payment of exorbitant ones. The fundamental principles of the Irish poor law are placed in jeopardy when one set of men are let off easily for no merit of their own, andanother set of men are stripped of two-thirds of all that they pos sess for no peculiar fault. To talk loftily about such being the law, and superciliously to ask the complain ants whether" they ever heard of a system that had not some inequalities?" is mere impertinence and folly. The day for this style of logic in high places is past, and the question of a maximum rate cannot be much longer evaded. We are fully conscious of its difficulties and not unmindful of its dangers. But the necessity of the cue is too plain and pressing. The poor must not be suffered to die of starvation; the means of purchasing cheap and wholesome food for them cannot be obtained without confiscatiln of property and annihilation of industry in many exten sive districts, while in many others property is nearly altogether free from the contributive bun. This state of things cannot last ; an essential change is unavoidable in the mechanism of the poor law, and the sooner it is metered and made known the better. THE disturbances in Ceylon are over for the pre sent. Under sentences of courts-martial some twenty men have been shot, and under sentences of courts of I:Okra bteitesklald, impteoted, whipped, to Bird labotr.. TbiprooktmationSsnbyeeting districts to martial law.itave been revoked. To boron the Lepage of a aotorions manifesto, it Order reigns inyloa." The Ant proceedings of the session of the legisla tin coned of the colony, convoked about the time the est& fell on this tragic drama, are a melancholy esnlinnt upon it. The first integers submitted to tidesmembly ofofficial and gagged non-official nominees se as own by the governor was a bill of indemnity Ise al auto does by the constituted authorities during the svaltran of medial law ' • the next was a bill to mod sack pants of the dog or di nance —the tax-law which was one main cause of the rebellion—as relates to the rural districts, that is, to the districts inhabited exclusively by natives. After putting down the in surrection the first step of , the local government is to punish the rebels, the next to pardon itself, and the third to confeas that it provoked the rebellion. The Ceylon government and its organs are busy seeking to exonerate it from •the charge of pro voking the rebellion. They attribute it to the priests and headmen, who, anxious to re gain their former wealth and authority, practise upon the ignorance, superstition, and national preju dices• of the lower orders; and to the colonists and I burghers who, dissatisfied with the pressure of tax ation, incautiously vituperate the constitution and I polio yof the government in the hearing natives. It may be that the grumbling of Europea of na ns LI OSM. firmed the natives in the estimate they had prenously formed of the character of the local government, sad it is certain that ambitious priests and chiefs have been attempting to turn the discontent of their coun trymen to their own advantage. Bat what has pre pared the mass of the natives to be blind tools in the bands of designing priests and headmen? and what has occasioned the incautious grumbling of the Europeans ? There must be some :pre existing sense of injustice when the mass of a popa. I lation are ready to follow any leaders, merely to I change their rulers ; there must be misgavern meet when complaints of the existing administration I such as are safely vented in any reasonably well-' governed country, are " like fire to heather set," and 6evitably produce civil oombastion. Nor is the proof far to seek that this has been the sass in Ceylon. That island has now been subject to, British rule more than half a century. Yet the Chief Justice in discharging the jury at Kandy on the late occasion, felt it his duty to tell them : —" There is a large part of this country whose wants and circumstances are quite unknown to us, where no European appears to have been for the last thirty years (as one of the witnesses I told us the other day); and I believe it is true that no white face has been seen there, except perhaps of those who have gone upon bunting exp editions." But the inhabitants of those districts of whose condi tion the government is utterly ignorant—who derive no benefit, receive no protection from it—cannot escape its tax-gatherers. The census of 1813 gave a population of 8,275 Europeans and burghers, and 1,310,000 natives. From this population was exacted in 1843 (exclusive of rents and sales of land and fines), the sum of 380,5584; and of this 272,4161. is admitted to have been paid by the natives exclusively. This gives an average of about 4s. 2d. per head paid for every native man , woman , and child, to a government, the existence of which they know only through the taxgatherer, nine-tenths of the tax-payers having no clothes be yond a strip of home-made cloth, and living upon grain and cocoa-nuts. Is it to be wondered at, then, that these people should, to use the words of the Chie Justice, retain "the feeling of their being a conquered nation "? llis Honour added : "they are discontented because they h.i.e not a government of their own." Had he said "because they have no government" he would have been nearer the mark. Incautious com plaints of Europeans, uttered in the hearing . of natives, may have helped to excite them—ambitions chiefs and priests may have held out to them false hopes of improving their condition—but it is the scan dalous neglect and extortion of the government that have prepared them to be so worked upon. With respect to the alleged unguarded language of the European settlers an important question is—Are their complaints well founded? They complain that the island is taxed beyond its means ; that the reve nues of the island are diverted, to illegitimate pur poses ; that men ignorant of the local laws and of any law are promoted from other branches of the civil ser vice to be judges; and that unofficial members of the legislative council, although nominees of the govern ment, are not allowed to originate any measure. That these complaints arc but too well founded there is good reason to believe. Sir EMERSON TENNENT ad mits that great retrenchments, and reduction of taxa tion, can and ought to be made. Lord 'l'ol.l RINOTON, in his opening speech at the lute' meeting of the council, stated that the revenue of 1847 exceeded that of 1846 by 24,0001.; that the expenditure of 1847 was le , ' than that of 1846 by 58,0001. ; but that there was still an excess of expenditure, and that the accumulations of surplus revenue from more fortunate periods were exhausted. We have seen that whole districts, inhabited by natives, receive no services from the government in return for the taxes they pay; and such is the condi tion of the planters, that hundreds of young men, dis charged from employment on estates because the owners could not afford to pay them, have been obliged to solicit public subscriptions to enable them to emigrate to Australia. These facts leave little room to doubt that the local administration is such as warrants grave and indignant remonstrance on the part of the European population ; and it is rather too much for the government to expect that they will suffer in silence, because still worse oppression has prepared the natives to rebel, where they only complain. The the rash and inconsiderate introduction of new and unheard of modes of taxation precipitated the outbreak there can be no doubt, and this proves the incompetence of Lord TORRINGTON and his coun cillors.That with an overtaxed people and an ex hausted treasury the governor should continue to draw the enormous salary of which he is in reeeipt is unpardonable. But it is less the individuals than the system that are in fault; the system of government pursued in Ceylon may be more aggravated in degree, but it is not different in kind, front what is pursued in all our colonies. The recent events in Ceylon, and the permanent condition of the island, are an example of what we have to expect from Downing-street colo nial administration. Common justice ought to whis per to the British public that if they will conquer and rule foreign countries they ought to rule them efficiently and justly ; and to strengthen the " still, small voice" that whispers this lesson, we may add that Ceylon, with its exhausted treasury and inade quate revenue, is pretty sure to •be brought forward as a petitioner for a loan or grant (it is the same thing) out of the proceeds of English taxation. of WuT Sir QUALLS NATTER should continue to be i so irate and inveterate against the Court of Directors of the East India Company, now that the penciple of division whereby he will obtain an eighth instead of a sixteenth of the &nide prize money has been decided in his favour, has created no little surprise. True, that court gave a surly recognition to the independent go vernment of the province he acquired for it, which his friend, the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH, erected and ap pointed him to; and refused to carry on direct corre spondence with the governor of the newly created province. True, the proteyi of the court, Colonel OUTRAM, criticised with severity the measures by which Scinde was acquirW. True, its acquisition cost Lord ELLENBOROUGII the vice-royalty of India, though it gained for him an earldom. True, the court was not very favourable to the larger claim of the Governor of Scinde in the prize-money. Trite, he has not been made a peer. All these acts of commission and omission doubtless were hard enough to bear. But still, as they have been handsomely gilded by no lees a sum than 70,0001., they might, most people have thought, have been endured in silence. Other wrongs, or supposed wrongs, however, it appears, have been heaped by the court on the gal lant general. Lord GOUGH'S period of command of the Indian army is about to expire ; and the Horse r Guam., it is asserted, have ventured to recommend Sir CIIARLEII NAPIER to the Court of Directors as his ' lordship's successor. This recommendation from a quarter usually so influential in Leadenhall-street, it I is added, not a little embarrassed the court.

It, The death of Robert Blum will form an (pen is our revolve•ion. Hobert Blum's career has probaky terminated at the period most favourable for his repo. tation. He was, beyond question, a superior man; he was active, at once alert and tenacious of purpose, His eloquence filled the ear and touched the seal. mcnt ; but he was totally destitute of penetration and grasp of intellect. He was a demagogue—not a steel. man ; a rhetorician—not an orator. His good qualitie and his faults contributed in nearly equal proportion' to gain him a great influence during the five or siz years which preceded the revolution of last Marc. The time required men who could deal in innuendos and impart to petty audacities the appearance of great courage. He had acquired the knack of speaking always in the tone most agreeable to hie audience Is the time being, and his audience, ever changing, wee always delighted with the orator who echoed they own opinions. Robert Blum carried this tactic into the assemblies created by the revolution—into the Cos. parliament, the committee of filly, and the purl meet Forthe first few weeks ofhis residence at Frankfort he was indisputably the most effective speaker in the Vor. parliament and the committee of fifty. Bat his iz fluesce soon declined—in the first place because his audience in the assemblies soon discovered Mathis mind revolved in a veo-y narrow circle of ideas ; and then because his out-of-doors audiences consieted of men accustomed to more exaggerated language than he was familiarised with. Blum, with his tart detecting the tastes of those he addressed, and hi recklessness in accommodating himself to them, adopted two modes of speaking, one for the pulik men; the other for public meetings. But we Gee mane are still such novices in politics as to believe such double-tongued oratory a violation of the good faith required in political men. And hence it hop• pened that Blum, for adapting his language tali auditors, came to be accused of hypocrisy. His pea. Lion in the constituent Assembly became the mat critical, that he belonged to a party which ate early period bean to attack the Frankfort parliament, and that he, in his capacity of member, deemed it expedient to keep on terms with his colleague And so it came to pass that the party of 150 roes. hers who at first rallied round him dwindled away to some 40, and that even among this he was kept Mlle leadership by a very narrow majority : His Journey to Vienna gave rise to a new schism in the patty d the Deutsches Haas (as Blum's followers called them selves), for one half of his adherents were of opinion that he was wrong in deserting his post at Frankfort. So you see that the influence of Robert Blum had, ever since the month of March, been steal! GERMANY. PRUSSlA. 7 The . intelligenoe from Berlin, is to the evening of the 17th inst. Up to the last moment all was quiet at Berlin. The process of demanding the delivery of arms was continued on the 16th unt►l nightfall, end was being completed on the 17th in the city and suburbs. General Wrangel has caused guns to be placed on the roof of the palace ; 11 have already been put there. It is said that the state of siege is soon to be raised, and that ministers are already deliberating on the sub ject. A powerful party at court, which was in favour of very energetic measures, is now desirous that con cessions should be made. Count Brandenburg and M. Manteuffel are by no means agreed. Professor Leo, General ltauch, and President Gerlack, are looked upon as the persons at the helm who persi-t in continuing their present course, and will not hear of any concessions. The various judges in the criminal courta have re solved not to take cognisance of any charges brought against political prisoners, as all law is now at an end. M. Pinder, president of the Silesian regency, has tendered his resignation, in consequence of dis approving of ministerial =mares, but would con tinue in his functions until a successor be appointed. It was said that the attorney-general of Berlin had likewise resigned, prob - hip to avoid giving a decision upon the points submitted to him by the National Assembly. The National Assembly did not sit on the 16th. The deputies display much activity ; they seem to be of opinion that by their refusal to grant the taxes they have exhausted all the measures in their power, and must leave the rest to the nation. The following account is given of an interview be tween certain delegates from the Assembly and the Prince of Prussia on the lath instant: the deputation was introduced to the Prince, who had previously ob tained the King's permission to receive them. The Prince read the address of the representatives, after which he declared that he had most carefully con sulted several authorities on the question pending at this moment between the crown and the people, and that any arrangement with the fraction of the National Assembly which bad continued to sit was quite impossible. Professor Gueist, a member of the deputation, then carefully explained to the prince the right of the National Assembly in point of law; after having premised that, in his quality of member of the superior tribunal, he was accustomed to adhere as rigorously to the law as to truth. This view of the case produced an evident impression on the prince, who. however, declared he was not convinced by it. The Commissary of Justice, Mr. Leuald, set aside the point of law, and desired that the prince would effect a mediation. The prince re plied that several negotiations were already pending relative to the formation of a new ministry, but that M. Grabow himself was of opinion that there was no other means of putting an end to the anarchy of Berlin than by persisting in the course entered upon, that the crown had fallen into a false position by its condescension on the 17th March, and that, on the pre sent occasion, the line of conduct traced out must be persevered in. Several members having given the prince to understand that the very existence of the crown might be involved in this, the prince replied : " If the dynasty falls it will, at any rate, fall with honour." He concluded by saying that none of the concessions made would be revoked. A member of the deputation having spoken of the danger which the King incurred liable respect, the prince replied that the piety of the King, and the firmness with which he adhered to the words spoken, were sufficient gua rantees. The Princess of Prussia and the young prince also spoke to the members of the deputation. M. Lewald remarked that the view taken by ithe Prince of Prussia still savoured of the ancient absolu tism,andthatthe words "obedient subjects—command of the King, " constantly fell from his lips. The Prussian ice., " Anzeiger contains a fresh pro , (damnation of General Von ; fhumen, exhorting the inhabitants to give up the arms committed to their ilaby the states. It also contains a list °re o[ forty addresses to the King and to the minister of irate, acknowledging the right of his Majesty to prorogue, or convene at another place, the National Assembly without its own consent, and at the same time express their approbation of the mea sures adopted by the government. Many of the de putations desired to present them to the King at an audience, but the ministry of state took upon itself thefullresponribility of all the ordinances issued bythe crown, deeming it expedient that all the expressions called forth by the political excitement of the mo ment should not be brought personally before his Majesty. All the addresses, however, as well those addressed to the King as to the ministry, are imme diately laid before the King. The committee appointed to investigate the line ofl demarcation between the German and Polish popu lations in Posen has terminated its labours, and is about to proceed to the grand duchy, accompanied by General Scherer, the Frankfort Commissary. The committee will p roceed to mark out the line on the spot, and will leave the issue to be determined hereafter. The " permanent committee" of the civic audio- declining. But death has placed him higher than ever he stool before. In the first place his courage had often been called in question : now he appears in the light of I man who tought bravely and died with calm dignity. Again, his execution is a declaration of war spine the Frankfort parliament, and the parliament has taken up the gauntlet which Windischgrill has thrown down to it. This very day the pull'. meat has unanimously resolved—' That the it tional Assembly, solemnly protesting in the fare of all Germany against the arrest and illegal emo tion of Robert Blum, calls upon the ministry of the empire to take every necessary measure to enforce the responsibility and punishment of all who are autism or accessories of the crime." This is perfectly ex plicit. The parliament demands that Windischrits and his council of war shall be punished. In Austri4 at the present moment, they will probably laugh It this demand. But parliament has passed sentence: the execution may not follow for a long time—every: thing moves slowly in Germany—but the first step is taken. Windischgratz and Jellachich have beyond a doubt caused Robert Blum to be executed not although, but because, he was a member of the Germ:. parliament. The parliament understands this, and haste plied to the defiance as it ought. Armies will be it quired to put its sentence in execution. I fear the. we shall see them march but too soon ; for with Wit diachgritz and Jellachich at the head of affairs is Austria, it is easy to foresee that existing difficultia will constantly grow more complicated, till even Gee man phlegm is exhausted. The energy evinced by the Berlin Assembly has had a great effect in Frank. fort. Hitherto anti-revolutionary talent and energy have incontestably been in the ascendant at Frankfort, bat the liberal energy of Berlin threatens to dearly. the Frankfort Assembly of all influence. I shall be much mistaken if this consideration does not rends the Frankfort politicians more liberal, more bold,rame patriotic, than they have ever hitherto been. All ap• pearances seem to indicate that the recent events at Vienna and Berlin will materially change the rill of the majority in our parliament.
