After an interval of some years its ghastly form reappears upon the scene, and the wail of suffering mingles with the cry of terror. As of old, the alarm is confined to certain districts, and it cannot escape observation that they are some of those which were formerly visited most frequently by the same spirit of evil. Tipperary. and Limerick are once more stained with bloodshed in open day, under circumstances the most pain fully revolting to every sense of security and peace. How is this, or why ? Measured by sta tistical tests, the condition of things is greatly changed since the last outbreak of murderous mis chief in these regions. Population was then denser by a third or a fourth, at least ; encumbered properties, nominally possessed by absentees, were certainly more nume rous; and fee farms, purchased and tilled by their resident owners, were fewer ; poor rates were enormously more burdensome than they are now ; and finally, emigration, from its compara tive rarity, was looked upon as a last resource by the young and hopeful, rather than as one of the best openings in life, which it has since come to be regarded by those who are restless and enter prising. If human passion, and its social and political results, were referable to merely physical causes, Agrarianism, which seemed to have so many provocatives in 1848, ought to be set down as having none in 1862. Landlords in general are more resident ; farms in general are better tilled ; the pressure for means of livelihood among the peasant class is in general much less severe ; and the country in general is in far better plight than it was fourteen years ago. But these changes do not really touch the core of the terrible gangrene that shows itself again after having been so long almost healed. It was cauterised by the measures taken at that period, not cured. How is it possible, indeed, that such a malady could be eradicated from the system by the mere severity of such a process ? As we have always contended when dealing with the subject, we now repeat—Agrarianism is not, and never was, primarily referable to depth of poverty Cl density of population, to politics or to religion, to large estates or to small. Its earliest records are of a period now more than a century gone by, utterly dissimilar from that in which we live. The aggravating causes—perhaps we should rather Day, the favourite pretexts for outrage and violence, of the " Hearts of Oak" and " Peep o' Day Boys," were the Tithe of Agiatment and the extension of pasture. At various intervening periods other sources of casual irritation arose, and were each in their turn regarded for the time as paramount. But each and all of them gave place to new cries and watchwords, while the fearful results remained the same. For • long time people could not be persuaded that this ter rible form of predial warfare was not a phase of the hereditary feud between the rival creeds, to which so much of Ireland's unhappiness was no doubt referable. But that error is, we trust, well nigh exploded ; and were it not so, the cir cumstances of the late terrible tragedy at Krimal lock might suffice for its dispersion. Mr. Fres- OKEALD was a member of a Catholic family long resident in the neighbourhood, and in the touch ing discourse delivered from the altar by the parish priest on the Sunday following his cruel death, the congregation were reminded of his more than ordinary habits of devotion and charity. But it was his misfortune to have come into collision with one or two of his tenants respect. ing the occupancy of land, and in the exercise of his undoubted legal rights he sought to break down the alleged custom or usage on which many relied for the possession of their holdings. All other incidents of the dreadful story are com paratively unimportant ; it is this which at once accounts for all, and without which all is inex plicable. Those who ask whether there were any circumstances of unusual hardship in the case do not understand what they are inquiring about. Agrarianism is no more the fruit of individual resentment than it is of prevalent poverty. It is not the poorest districts that have been most prominent in crime, for daring violence demands physical nerve, and the starveling takes unsteady aim, or shrinks, iv infects, from big deadly errand. So like wise it is not Cie hardest landlord or the singularly ill-treated tenant whose name is associated with deeds of midday vengeance. There is a merciless but irresistible logic in agrarianism, which teaches that its ends are answered more effectually when a sanguinary example is made of one whose death no one will ascribe to any doubtful cause, and when its lawless retribution is dealt out on behalf of an every-day infringement of its unwritten code respecting laud. This is at once the greatest aggra vation of the evil, and its most certain explana tion. Without the passive sympathy of the com munity, its blows dare not be struck audaciously at noon-day, in the midst of • public thoroughfare, without any attempt at disguise on the part of the ainaisins, and without precipitancy in the effort to escape pursuit. The deliberation and publicity with which the sanguinary sentences of the secret tribunal are executed have at all times formed a remarkable feature of the system; and it is un deniable that they contribute vastly to the unacknowledged though not less real terror these sentences inspire. But they could not have these characteristics without the sympathy in question, and they certainly would not have that sympathy if the alleged grievances committed by the proprietary were special or exceptional. As for remedies, we have little faith ; 7 x , `C - 5 -2- 11 .' - .;%••• z e-.--•••••• spa A r ta tie P"( 111 speaking r gnu ,~ in any that professedly rely ow, repression. Colonel Thom*, sr lAushly resentfully as a man will do whose friend has been brutally murdered in the presence of his wife at noontide on the Queues highway, urges some prom* of Lynch Law which would enable the local *agistracy to hang the suspected within three days; and Lord Nis, who was once Tory Secretary for Ireland, with less excuse talks of " deluging the district with police." Such rough and vindictive remedies do not, of course, touch the real seat of the disease. Not by such barba rous methods can the terrible sore be healed. • LA7litirr4n4ricit. RUSSIA AND POLAND, The Debats of this day says : The order of the day of the Lieutenant-Governor of War saw which satisfied in part the demands at the archbishop, end a dispatch spoken of ea clficial, which denies that any domiciliary visit has taken place amoopt the superior offi oers of the Rankin garrison, attract the attention of the public to Poland and the Russian empire, as much as Mexico and Hesse had diverted it from them. According to the intelligence which we receive from Russia, it is difficult to refuse any longer to credit that an underground current of opinion is at work in the Russian army ; that men's minds are there agitated; that the sub-lieutenants promoted within the last few rats, and Ilb3 the youngest of the asp tains and the superior officers, are become the objects end the agent. of a liberal propagandism, well or tag understood, but as active as it is mysterious. If it be well considered that , the history of Russia since Ilia death of Peter the Great is little more than the Wary of it. army, one will be able to appreciate the peek, as regards the future destinies of this vast empire, of any change which takes place in the political Ideas of the corps of officers. The Lieutenant-Governor of Warsaw has pub lished the following decree, dated the 17th : This weak wend persona, belonging for the most pad to the female sex, and not of the higher clams, have sung prohibited hymns in different churches. Nearly all have been arrested on leaving. The greater number et the faithful took no part in the hymns, and many sensible persona endeavoured to stop this scandal. In consideration of this circumrtance, and in order to avoid giving a refusal to the request of the vane - table archbishop that be may be entrusted with the care ot the church, =i-de-asep General Laden, governor of the kingdom, hem ordered that the police autho rities shall Asian tble(tlatinday) evening, and to-morrow" (Sunday), from milking any attest at the exit of the' churches for the singing of prohibited hymns, and that It shall be left exclusively to the elergy' to influence the public in this matter by persuasion. however, in 'pits "df this experiment, made solely in com pliance with the entreaty of the venerable archbishop, there shall be again heard in the churches hymns, strophes, or verses, *high are forbidden, meats will take place on ifooday, at the doors of the churches, in order to treat with force those who are deaf to the voiee of persuasion. "The result of this determination," remarks the National Gazette of Berlin, "might have been foreseen. Yesterday evening and to-day no body sang hymns in the churches, although they were well filled. The mot d'ordre bad been given not to take advantage of the concession made to the archbishop ; but to-morrow (the 19th) there will perhaps be fresh conflicts." THE QUESTION OF ELECTORAL HESSE. BERLIN, liar 23, The semi-official Aligemeina Prevesiethe (Stern) Zeitutig says : "The Casaa Gazette contains the strange statement that Count Bernstorff, in reply to an inquiry made by the minister of Electoral Hesse, declared that the late military movements of Prussia were neither particularly directed against Electoral Hesse, nor intended as a demonstration spinet the government of that elector►te _ " In view of the real state of things, which speaks clearly enough for itself, it is hardly necessary to observe that the interpretation of Count BaraL, stork's words, as given by the Camel Gordis, is founded on a decided misunderstanding. ".We are enabled to state that the expressions used by Count Bernatorff were such that the minis ter of Electoral Hesse could not have been left in any doubt as to the very serious state of affairs, and the determined intention of the Prussian govern ment to bring the conflict in Electoral Hesse to end."

The following "latest news" in the P l ays, im portant if true, is of a character to invite the use of the consecrated expression " with all reserve :" We hear from London that at the break-up of a minis- terial ,council Lord Russell expressed to the Spanish minister his deep regret at the disagreement of the repro. 'mutative, of the three powers in Mexico, and assured him at the same time that the co-operation of England would sot be wanting to France should the latter think it neces sary to the aooomplishment of her object. The main thing for Greet Britain, Lord Rummell is maid to have added, was to do everything to assure the concurrenos of Frown in the view of eventualities which might arise in the United States' of America- The Patrie states that in the cavalry affair in Mexico mentioned by the Monsieur 300 French horse put to flight 2,000 Mexican cavalry. It also says that General Almonte is already at the head of a body of 6,000 horse, and that many heads of the greater families in Mexico have joined him. ' There is a report that the An/Wake Maximilian is coming to Paris. The Pays nays very myste timely that "England had certain personal and teysterious motives for her conduct in the Mexican affair, which it (the Pays) will not enter into at present." A despatch from Mexico of April 24 states that Almonte's royalist proclamation had produced very title int in the interior ci,the country. ,• Miramon, the late president of the republic of Mexico, has embarked at Cadiz for England, whence pre intends to proceed to the United States. , It has been prematurely announced in eome of the French journals that Prince Napoleon was• inla rented in Paris to-day. He left Naples in the ' cm Jerome yacht for Palermo, where he will two or three days, and then he proposes to visit Messina. In all probability he will not be in France for the next fortnight. The most pro voicing uncertainty prevails at present as to the Rmperor's intentions with regard to Rome. I have been assured to-day by an ultramontanist that General de Goyon frill go back within a month, the Garibaldian movement in Italy having been joyfully seized upon as an excuse for postponing the evacuation of Rome. On the other hand, a `Milan journal publishes a letter from Naples, stating that Sir J. Hodson had positively declared that the evacuation was decided upon " in prin ciple," and that Lord Palmerston's recent answer . `to Mr. Disraeli, when the latter questioned the existence of a good understanding between France and England, was, so far as it related to Italy, nothing else than an epitome of the programme agreed upon between the two governments. It has been reported that Said Pacha, after a short visit to England, would go to a French watering place--either Vichy or Plombihres.

The train ran into the station almost punctual to its time. Arrangementa had been made for his royal highness to alight and partake of refreshment in an apartment specially appropriated to the purpose, at the Great Queen-street side of the station, but he declined doing se, and partook of some coffee and breed and butter in the carriage in which he was seated. The refresh. mode were provided by Mr. Scott, of the Queen's Hotel. About a quitter of an hoer was occupied by the alight repast and the changing of the engine, and at the expiration of that time the teaks took ha depereare to Stafford, where the special portion of it, we understand, was to be attached to the baited mail for the north.

There was no parish in the whole of his diocese, or he believed is the kingdom which so much required this subdivision of clerical 'labour as Si.
