The Saturday Review remarks that the lance Wales goes to Ireland without the shadow of a suspicion as representing either a faction of that country or a faction of this. He is in Dublin because he and Dublin belong to each other, and both are only factors in a great empire and a common cause. He stands happily and serenely' apart from all our parties, sects, theories, policies, and plans. He flaunts neither Orange nor Green. The Imperial standard of the realm, one and indivisible, not so much the United Kingdom as the Kingdom, is the only banner with which he greets his fellow-subjects. It is not Protestant ascendancy or Ultramontane tyranny, disen dowment or agrarian reform or revolution, that he comes to recommend or to reason about, but simply to shew that Ireland has no cause, no interests, no duties which belong to the four transmarine provinces of the empire by any specialty or privilege. And if the Prince of Wales imper sonates and represents this one political truth, he will in deed have discharged an "imperial work and worthy kings." It is not very respectful to what is called Irish patriotism, nor does it argue a serious apprehension of the miserable past, to talk with infinite courtesy mid polite contumely about the pomps and vanities of the show, as though Ireland were some fractious baby to be soothed with a gewgaw toy or a sugared comfit. If Ireland has no greater troubles than can be appeased by the popularity and gracious demeanour of a young lady and gentleman who have never had more serious duties than the art of making themselves agreeable, a good deal of trouble might be saved in Westminster, and we are just now wasting very serious experiments on a very worthless subject-matter. If the question of Ireland can be settled by a levee, a review, a horse-race, and smart bonnets, the British people and Parliament are just now making themselves supremely ridiculous. The terrible murder of Mr. Fetherston, on his actual return from the Dublin festivi. ties, may teach caution to the. eloquent soothsayers who tell us that the great problem of the day is to be thus cheaply solved. Let the royal visit be taken for what it is worth ; that worth is real and important enough neither to be made too much nor too little of. If, on the one . t is to be taken as a mere show, or if, on the other, 1 4 ' l 'vated to the rank of a stupendous feat of statecraft, —.,ay do as much liana az good ; possibly more harm than good. Anyhow, peoples, as the phrase is, like other guests and hosts, - are susceptible to the very ordinary influences of fine weather, good looks, best clothes, smiles, and cordiality, and none of these not very superfine elements of success seem to be wanting. Even Erin-go- Bragh and Cead mil Failthe—we are not sure of the .spelling—have their value. So let us shout with the shouters. The Spectator hardly thinks that Sir Robert Napier has had his meed of praise. Let us see what he has done. It must be remembered that he is followed every clay and almost every hour, by a dozen restless, watchful, and, in part at least, hostile eyes, eager to criticise, paid to inves tigate, often, we fancy, not unwilling to condemn ; and what have they, in the way of blunders, to report? That a Quartermaster-General reported the wrong route to be impracticable, that somebody else found the right one, and that Sir Robert thenceforward became his own Quarter master-General. Disorder enough there was to begin with ; but he was not responsible for it. He remedied it, then carried an army of thirty thousand men—for every follower is as much a burden on the General as every sol dier—away from the pestilent coast on to the healthy high and—we hear of no crowded hospitals ; then marched for ward 200 miles—as far as from London to Leeds, esta olishing camps as he went, till his communications are guarded as by a line of fortresses ; then stripped a brigade for action, ordering off all superfluous impedimenta, till the Indians were loud in wrath and remonstrance ; and then, never hurrying, never stopping, losing no men, aban doning no needful appliance, over passes 2,000 feet higher than Mount Cenis, through ravines where ten men ought to have stopped an army, drawing water from the rocks, turning the population he has invaded into eager carriers and suttlers, making no rushes, but also making no failures, the calm old man has carried the most composite army which ever fought, straight to its goal, a mountain fortress in Africa further from his base than Turin is from France, and with three ranges of Alps instead of one between them. The gentlemen who muddled Monday's march to Portsmouth do not, we believe, think the feat a great one ; but we should, we confess, prefer to hear the opinion of Marshal Bazaine, who knows what marching Europeans through a terra caliente means, or of any officer who ever entered Afghanistan, or aided in a march over the Suleiman. We do not believe any General ever accomplished a greater feat in military organisation than this invasion of Abyssinia, ever displayed more of the best qualities of a commander than Sir Robert Napier has done. He has no dash ? Dashing on boulders is brainless work ; but when Sir Robert Napier, with a handful of wearied men, flung him self right across Tantia Topee's path, and turned a march which would have raised all India in insurrection, want of dash was not the precise foible attributed to him. There are no incidents? Incidents in a campaign like this—a campaign of explorers—mean blunders, and the expedi tion is eventless only because the General has committed none. Ire has risked nothing, forgotten nothing, hurried nothing, but has tramped on straight to his end, and will, we firmly believe, after accomplishing his object and rescuing the prisoners, carry back his army to Bombay as perfect in discipline and organisation as when he left it, ready on a telegram from Sir S. Northcote to invade Egypt, or Japan, or Thibet. It is but poor encourage ment to English Generals that service like that, the exact Ind punctual performance of an immense task, a task It which two British Governments craned for four years, should be received in silence, or even seem to require apologetic explanation. The London Review declares that of all the reviews of Dur citizen army, that of Monday last was at once the most unlikely to succeed, and the most successful. A . 3reakdown would have surprised no one. There were many reasons why such a mischance was even probable. The number of volunteers taking part in the review was 3y several thousands greater than on any previous occa sion. It was held at a much greater distancefrom London. There was, moreover, the special disadvantage of the hitch which presented itself some eight days previously, and the consequent doubt whether there would be any review at all. But, as if there had been none of these dis- advantages, the whole affair passed off with the utmost smoothness and punctuality, and never have the volun teers acquitted themselves so well as on Easter 111 - onday 1868. But, after all, a military force, whether brought together by enlistment or volunteering, must be judged by is efficiency for military purposes. Will our citizen army stand this test ? or was Lord Ranelagh right when he startled and offended it by declaring that for military pur poses it was a " sham ?" The term was a strong term. Was it just? It has been too bitterly resented, mainly because it was misunderstood. Lord Ranelagh was very far from wishing to reflect on the courage, the discipline, or the patriotism of the volunteer force. All that he did was to - compare it with the regular army ; and in so far as it wanted what was essential to such an army, he called it, and properly, a " sham." We suspect that the volunteers, who at first were indignant at this plain speaking, are coming round to his lordship's opinion: Thoughtful judges admit that they possess the best qualities of the soldier. When the volunteer movement was first started, there was something curling on the lip on the part of the regulars at the citizen soldiers, and military red tape would not believe that they could be converted into reliable troops. That prejudice has long ago disappeared. But mere courage, mere individual pluck and efficiency, are not sufficient to make an army. The volunteers have all this and more ; but there remains much which they can not of themselves acquire, but which must be added to their organisation, To this extent the force is a " sham," and Lord Itanelagh merits praise for the courage by which, at the risk of drawing upon himself a clatter of indignant tongues, he used a bold word to express an important truth. The Imperial Review observes that there is probably no public man of any note who has made so few slips in public speaking as Mr. Disraeli ; and there is, it pre- sumes, no statesman now alive who would venture to claim an equality with him in the command of felicitous and graphic language. And, as we have said, the mere fact that he so rarely, if indeed ever, is betrayed into any ex pression which can be turned against him by his critics, makes the gentlemen whose business is to find fault doubly watchful to detect a single unguarded sentence, and trebly vociferous in their delight when they think they have found one. It is satisfactory, continues the Imperial Review, to observe the complete and explicit manner in which a few short sentences serve to remove the absurd suspicion that the l e ader of Tory party was about to identify himself and hiscli friends w ith that noisy and really insignificant que of which Mr. \Whalley is the best-known type. The obliga tions which this country owes to the High Church party are not likely to he u nder-rated by the statesman who has derived so much of his political inspiration from Bolingbroke. But there are few writers of the present day who could so gracefully acknowledge what is due to the one great phalanx of earnest Churchmen without wounding the susceptibilities of the other. It may, of course , suit the purposes of unprincipled opponents to confound the " extreme faction o very modern date," whose unconstitutional aspirations the Premier has censured, with that distinguished array of me n who were both pious Churchmen and illus triousllny the in present. B the past,a Englishmen, nd sinn of who Nei are glado v n we count so think, inßuto many, also, t it will not be easy, after this declaration on his part, to pretend that Mr. Disraeli ever entertained tho the slightest intention to cast a slur upon Constitutional High-Church party, The claims upon national gratitude which may be asserted by the other party are, indeed, as he allows us to infer, no t t less iv re ei t therse to quarrel with so zt significant. vtee4vf And it be flirardi_fo4rracicioyczshezyilletifl -1 hair were
