An important judgment, of deep interest to the array. has just been given by the Council of State. In February. 18:10, the President of the Republic ezzelled the appointment of a M. Mercier to the rank of a lieutenant in the army—an appointment that had been made through the war-odice in the wad and regular way. Lieutenant Nlercier appealed to the then Council of State, cratesting the legality of the President's decree of revocation. The cause remained undecided when tt.e .flat din-olvid the old council.

The Lord Lieutenant and the Countess of &glin t= held their first drawing-room last night. 'The company, as at the levee, the preceding day, was nu merous, comprising a great many persons of well known liberal politics. Au immense multitude of the populace crowded the Castle-yard yesterday, et the usual hour of re- I lieving the guard, for the purpose of hearing band play " Patrick's Day." His Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant, accompanied by the Countess of Eglinton, appeared on the centre balcony, wearing shamrocks, and were very warmly cheered. The regimental colours were also ornamented with sprigs of shamrock, and several national airs, such as " Rory O'Hore," " Donnybrook Fair," &c., were played by the band; the crowd at intervals indulg ing in vociferous demonstrations of satisfaction. A large mob accompanied the band to Richmond Bar racks, and on their return through the streets became exceedingly disorderly and troublesome, attacking persons who refused to take off their hats "in honour of the day." The police at length interfered, but a large body of them were beaten back into their station-house. The police then armed them selves with cutlasses, and at this juncture a troop of Artillery came up, and the men dismounting, co-operated with the police, and succeeded in dis persing the mob, and making several prisoners, but not until a great many windows had been broken, and persons injured with the stones and other mis siles, which flew in abundance. The Limerick Reporter says: "We believe we may announce that bir John F. Fitzgerald will be accompanied by Sir Burton M'Namara as a second candidate for the representation of Clare, on the liberal side, and that Major M'Namara will resign. At the Cork assizes a verdict of 6001. damages was obtained against the Great Southern and Western Itailway Company, the plaintiff being Mr. William Sutherland, a fish merchant, from Wick, in Scotland, who suffered severe injuries from falling out of a second-claws carriage belonging to the company owing to the door being left unfastened.

' I MINISTERS AND THEIR DECLARATIONS. moo the Deily Naos.) " What declarations of their proposed intentions are we to receive from ministers to-night?" is a question which everybody asks and nobody ven tures to answer. The most contradictory interpreta tions are put upon the language of the various mem bers of the administration—and all seem alike plau sible and equally correct. The private statements, too, of the supporters of the ministry are of the same varying description, so that between the public end the private declarations of the supporters of the go vernment, and of the members of the government themselves, we aro utterly at a loss to determine what course they will eventually pursue. The rule of be ing all things to all men, appears to have been adapted by those now in power, and most sedulously acted on—whether it will answer the purposes for which it was adopted remains to be seen. If by chance a friend of ministers meets a stiff-necked friend of protection, he says to hi s I somewhat restive supporter, " do not be in a hurrv— all will come right in the end---our long-cherished plan of policy will ultimately be adopted, and your Interests will be carefully guarded from injury." Anon this active and ready ministerial gossip en counters ono of those scrupulous personages who delight in the ap pellation of conservative free traders. To him his language is widely . different. " You are too shrewd," he says, "to mistake the meaning of Lord DERBY and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. They both, as you must clearly see, intend to get rid o f the question of protection. 'that cry has screed its turn—we cannot return to the policy—and all that we have now to do is to accustom our friends to this inevitable necessity. We have been as explicit as wo could—and even our tenant-farmer supporters begin to understand that a duty on corn is Impossible. In his perambulations this useful friend meets at last with one of his own class, and to him ho avows without restraint his real opinions, and exhales his indignatiou. "We arc in power, and must keep there; but the task of keeping these troublesome supporters in order is really dread ful. They talk of consistency—as if at any time we really believed what wo said—they fancy that the lamentations over the ' ruin of the tenant farmer' and the unfortunate landlord' were really prompted by the state of the case; but surely they must know, and know better than any ,body, that our state ments were used as the instruments of political warfare, and not as the exposition of tho facts that really occurred. It is too bad now to bo twitted by our friends with statements which those friends knew, when they were uttered, were employed only because they were serviceable." Such are the sayings that any one at all conversant with political coteries, as they now exist in this country must every hour be compelled to hear, and from which he must attempt to form some expectation as to the coming future of party tactics. Indeed the ministry seem ready at each moment, and to each person, to make that particular assertion which in their opinion best suits their own position and oh jeets--and that what contributes to keep them in *rower will without hesitation be adopttl :^4 main .. tal l ied by them; that if they find protection no longer tenable, they will without hesitation modify it; but if by accident it should find favour with a large majority, they will still centime to call themselves protectionists, and will then propose to reverse the policy adopted by Sir ROBERT PEEL in 1846. They are, in fact, waiting on Providence— they have no faith, no policy—no real opinions; they have by an accident attained to office—and intend to do their beet to retain it. Such being the condition of the ministerial mind, we can only ascertain what is likely to be their state ment to-night by discovering what their opinion is res pecting the present political feeling of the people generally ; and on this point it seems certain that, as the supporters of protection are in a minority, and the generally expressed opinion of careful men of all shades of political opinion is that a return to protection is impossible, the ministerial declarations to-night will continue to be vague, unmeaning, and unsatisfactory. To declare openly in such circum stances that they intend to maintain protection would be suicidal—to state frankly that they were determined to desert it, would excite anger among old and confiding friends—to deal in mystifying phrases, to use words that will bear any interpre tation, will bo deemed good policy—and cloudy, not to say unmeaning, talk will be all that the world will hear in the debate on the estimates to-night. But in this state of things, what is the course which by the opposition ought to be pursued? Ought they to allow the government to obtain the year's supplies —to proceed without let or hindrance in their scheme of pretended and insignificant reform—or ought they at once to compel an immediate dissolution, by grant ing only limited supplies, and putting the ministry into a marked minority? The first inquiry is, are the various sections of the opposition sufficiently of one mind, to be able to take so decided a course?—and the next is, would such a proceeding be that best calculated to put our free -trade policy beyond the possibility of danger? As respects the last point, we have no doubt. That this policy would be beet assured by driving the ministers at once into the adoption of some decisive line of conduct, cannot, we think, be doubted. But it should be made sure that all the various sec tions of opposition are ready to act on this opinion. Some there are who are inclined to believe that the hollowness of the ministerial professions will be best made apparent by allowing them to proceed without interruption in their present shuffling mode of conduct; others again are not hearty in their opposition, and—hoping that the anti-free-trade policy may be quickly relinquished by the adminis tration—wait an opportunity of changing sides, which they fancy a little delay will afford them. Others also are timid, and fear that they may, if they adopt a decided conduct, be accused of faction and acting on the impulse of selfish purposes, and thus, under the dread of such imputations, may be inclined to await the course of events, and allow time to bring about a result which they believe to be in the end inevitable. They who thus vetoer, however, forget the real mischief which threatens us. That there is any great danger of a total reversal of the free-trade policy, it is difficult to believe ; that the nnamtainty which the pewit elated things affsetlisises most create, is a great ea eseleasaatessatkasas ssirstdsf, no onc'can doubt t that this asteirtalatr will continue so tong as the ministry NW able to put off a final declaration of tame Weeded policy, is evident; and that this emits will be greatly assisted by the over caudal sad timidity of which we veil, is equally plain. The very reluctance of the administration to make an open avowal of their intentions gives a colour to the expectation that they intend mischief, if they can possibly effect it. This expectation will exe rc ise a most pernicious influence upon all the emotions of trade and manu facture—will °hook the energy of all in every class—but will fall with greatest severity upon the Feat body of the labouring population in our manu facturing districts. Thus it happens that the hesita tion which some feel to bring the contest to an immediate issue, lest they should be accused of rashness or faction, is really fraught with greater mischief, than at first sight seems possible to result from what is called a prudent course of proceeding. Timidity and prudence, however, are by no means the same thing—by fronting a danger we often pre vent its evils. The practical conclusion from these considerations is, that the opposition to-night ought not to hesi tate—but should at once piratic a course that will eempal the administration to adopt, and to avow, 11101110 decided course of policy—which will force them to declare for protection, or immediately and for ever to abandon it. The means of doing this, ace simple and easy of adoption—the supplies granted for three or six months, will make it impossiblo for the administration again to meet the present meat. The coming elections must, in spite of any and every evasion, be decided by the opinions of the people on the question of free trade. If a majority be returned in favour of the existing policy, uncer tainty at once and for ever ceases, and the mischief we dread will no longer be possible.
