STAMPED sd. Ireland, the remedy to her ills will soon be dis covered. For it must not be forgotten that Ireland has been alienated as much by the ill will so often shown towards her, by - -the absence of sympathy with her interests and wishes as by acts of positive oppression. The whole system of governing Ireland solely by the light of English BreliXtritspottfetec account of of Edinbtfrih iiil r Victolir All classes _ intent on making' the utmost demonstration of loyalty. The Duke of Edinlonrih'proceedecl froth the Gape of Good Hope to Adelaide, South Australia. It was arranged that he should stay there a fortnight. During - the interval preparations were pushed forward with the greatest ardour. Carpenters, joiners, painters, gasfitters, artists, and every daring dauber on paper or canvas who could in such trying times assume the name of " artist " without a downright insult to our perceptions of form and colour, were at tremendous premiums ; tailors and dressmakers wrung their hands at their inabiliey to execute one tithe of theirorders in time for the Governors ball, the Sailors' Home ball, or the fancy ball of the Mayor and Corporation. Curiously panctual to time, for the diStance by sea from Adelaide to Port Philip is some GOO miles, the Galatea arrived off the Heads at twenty minutes to twelve on the forenoon of Saturday, Nov. 21. The bay being7about forty miles long by very nearly the same width in the broadest part, a flotilla of steamers left their anchorage very early on Saturday morning, and were steaming down in consider able force as the Galatea arrived. Nothing could be more exhilarating than the appearance of the bay at this time. The day was fine, and the water nearly as blUe, in fact, as the Bay of Naples is sometimes painted. The steamers were crowded with well-dressed company, some of them provided with bands of music, and as the whole flotilla was under the command of Captain Norman, of the Victoria, each ship had her appointed place. According to thrpro: gramme, the Galatea was, on entering .the Heads, to find herself suddenly between two rows of seagoing steamers— " the port and starboard divisions," as they called—aid so to be taken in a sort of affectionate custody on towards Mel bourne. The Galatea, however, steamed up the bay at such a pace as to leave her anxious and devoted escort some miles behind, as the commodore's ship, the Victoria, was obliged to consult the slower capabilities of some among his little fleet. The escort, therefore, for some mileswas turned into apursuit, and many among the various steamers' crews found their loyalty rather tried, as the Galatea steamed up the bay as if almost unconscious of the existence of any escort at ail. The grumbling,s, however, were afterwards effectually allayed when we learnt that the Galatea had only been going at her slowest rate of speed. As, however, she approached the anchorage off Williamstown she came to a halt, the flotilla of steamers closed in on her, and here . the sight became very imposing. Every ship and boat in the harbour was in full dress of flags, and the shores were lined with tens of thousands of spectators. The air was rent with cheers of welcome from sea and shore _; ana amid all the din oia colonists might now and then be overheard contrasting their recollections of the Hobson's Bay of thirty years back, then a solitude, with the crowded and brilliant muster of vessels of all nations which were now making their obeisances to the sailor son of our Queen. The arrival took place on Saturday. His Sunday the Duke spent on board the Galatea. Monday came, and with it still fine weather. His Royal Highness-made his progress from Sandridge to Melbourne, a distance of two miles. At twelve o'clock precisely the Duke, accompanied by Lord Newry and. the Hon. Mr. Yorke, landed at the railway pier at Sandridge. Hp was received by a military guard of honour, and by tie Go. vernor, the Ministry, and the members of the Reception Commission at the landing-place. After receiving and re. spending to an address from the Mayor and Corporation Sandridge, the Duke was escorted to an open carriage pro. vided for him by the Governor, and drawn by four fin bays, and so, accompanied by his suite, commenced hit progress of two miles to Melbourne. A long procession consisting of members of the Government, of the Commis sion, of the Victorian Volunteer mounted troopers, and many voluntary societies, accompanied him to the U'rea. Bury. In the large open space before this building, and extending a long way down Collins-street, were assembled a vast number of well-dressed and pros. perous-looking people, variously estimated at from 40,000 to 60,000 in number. Here the Duke re. iews, or far worse, inaccordance with the pre judices or interests of the Orange party, must not only be laid aside, but a policy directly the re verse be • adopted. The people of Ireland are Catholic and the honour interests and of the Catholic Church must be taken into account in governing Ireland. As an illustration of the man ner in which Ireland has been governed, take the model schools and the Queen's Colleges. Both of these institutions were denounced by the Catholic Church as dangerous to the faith and morals of a Catholic people for whose me they were intended; but so little idea has the Eng lish Government of governing Ireland in harmony with its highest religions interests and its deepest feelings, that for twenty years have these interests and feelings been systematically out raged. Can we wonder, not on account of these particular acts of injustice and unwisdom, but of the spirit of which they are an evidence, that Ireland, under a long course of such inconsiderate, rather than cruel, treatment, should have ceased to be well affected towards so unneighbourly and unkindly a nation? Protestant and Orange ascendancy in Ireland has been the greatest enemy of England. It is guilty, to a great ex tent, of whatever of disloyalty exists in Ireland. The Irish Established Church, which is a mockery . to the common sense of the country, is as a badge of ascendancy, an insult to every Catholic in Ireland. Economical questions, such as the ,preservation of vested interests, if so much of the Church pro perty as belongs to Catholic Ireland be restored to her, the endowment of the Catholic Uni versity, the tenure of land, can, no doubt, when a determination to settle them has become a part of the necessary policy of England, be brought to a satisfactory settlement. But the will to act justly and generously by Ireland, which, if disaf fected, is not Fenian but Catholic, is what policy as well as justice imperatively demand. We must remember that bare justice is not enough; we have amends to make to Ireland. And, in spite of Fenianism and its criminal aberrations, we ought to do so in a large and generous spirit, if we wish to win back, as undoubtedly the English people do, so quick and high-witted spirited a people as those of the sister island.—Westminster Gazette. ceived addresses from the two Houses of Parliament, amid the acclamations of a crowd declaredby his Royal Highness to be one of the most orderly and well-conducted he had ever seen. At the conclusion of the , ceremonial at the Treasury, he, with his suite, accompanied Sir Henry Manners Sutton to Government House, where the Duke will be domiciled during his stay in Melbourne. On the follow ing day, the 26th, he held a levee at the New Exhibi tion building, at which about double the number of persons usually attending such ceremonials, and many addresses from public bodies, were presented to his Royal Highness. Nearly two hours elapsed before the work shewed any signs of coming to an end. So the Duke, looking slightly fatigued, withdrew for a few moments, attended by the Governor and suite, to a private room for some refresh ment, and after about ten minutes' interval returned to continue the receptions. The lower portion of the vast hall (in its entire length from end to end longer than West minster Hall) and the galleries were occupied by ladies, who sat out the ceremonial until the withdrawal of the principal attraction. In the evening the city and. suburbs were brilliantly illuminated and the streets were crowded with their tens of thousands, so vast a number of persons never having been seen congregated together in Melbourne since the existence of the colony. Not a single person was put into the lock-up that night for misbehaviour. While the ball to the Prince was proceeding, a number of , Irishmen vivre getting up a row about an " Orange " trans parency at the Protestant Hall. It commenced in an attempt to destroy the transparency, and the assailants were fired upon from the building. One man was shot—it is said mortally—and three others wounded. The next day the Duke attended a cricket match, and in the even ing he was the Governmes guest at a grand ball given by him in the Great Exhibition building. There were about 2,000 persons present. The Duke opened the ball with. Miss Manners Sutton, waltzed frequently, and at an ad vanced period of the evening danced a Scotch reel with a vigour which fairly enraptured many an old Highland gen tleman present. Amidst a perfect storm of cheering he left the room about two o'clock in the morning. On the day of the mail's departure he was to attend " the Free Banquet," which was to be opened by him at the Botani cal Gardens. Other entertainments in rapid succession were to come off in town and country. The reception at Adelaide was equally enthusiastic. Loyal addresses were presented to his Royal Highness in both colonies. It is stated that the offertory at the church of St. Peter, Streatham, amounted to over £750 on Christmas Day. On Sunday week a cheque for £l,OOO was found in the bag. The sum of £3,200 has been collected in the past few months towards the erection of a new church. THE RULING FAMILIES OF EUROPE.—During the past year the ruling families of Europe have been in creased by eleven births (four boys and seven girls) and three marriages—those of King George of Greece with thti Grand Duchess Olga of Russia ; of Count Philip of Flan/ ders, brother to the King of Belgium, with the Princesa, Mary of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen ; and of Don Carlos, Infante of Spain, with the Princess Margaret of Parma. The number of the sovereigns of Europe is now thirty eight—viz., three emperors, the Sultan, the Pope, ten kings, two queens, six grand-dukes, five dukes, and ten princes. The oldest of these is the Pope, who is 75. After him come the King of Pru ssia and the Duke of Anhalt,: both of whom are over 70. The average age of the Euro. pean sovereigns is 44 years, and twenty-two of them have already exceeded that age. During the past year two sovereigns, the Princes of Reuss (younger line) and, Sehwarzburg-Rudolstadt, ascended the throne. Four sovereigns are unmarried besides the Pope, namely, the King of Bavaria, the Duke of Brunswick, and the two, Princes of Lichtenstein and Reuss (senior line). THE DISCOVERY OF GREEK FIRE AT CORK. The discovery of Greek fire at Cork has produced serious alarm. It is the first occasion on which that destructivi compound has been discovered in the South of Ireland in the hands of suspicious persons. On Saturday night elle Sunday the military were again brought into the city to aid the police in protecting the banks and public buildings. The fellow who, in dread of an explosion, abandoned his coat in the street, containing two bottles of Greek fire, is known to the police through documents rescued from the pockets of the burning garment. To this cause of alarm in Cork must be added another. A very bad spirit has manifested itself on several occa• sions among the lower orders in Cork. It is not long since they assaulted some police officers when discharging their duty in public, and now the Cork Examiner again de scribes what it calls an entente of an equally aggravated character. The police were engaged in searching some houses, when the mob which soon collected began to thros stones and to hoot them. "Execrations, hooting, and other expressions of anger," says this paper, " accompanied each discharge, and the affair began to assume formidable proportions as the police continued passive, while their assailants showed each moment more determination." After a number of stones had been discharged, r. Gunn, the inspector, advanced from his partyand, ad dressing the people, remonstrated with them on the c)urse they had taken, and advis ed them to disperse quietly permit the police to prosecute their duties unmolested. onfifsderriemsioonnstarnandcedsefiwaenrcee,. hoTwheveerc,rogrwede,tendotwhiintlig. sl‘ior.utGu daunted, s to press more boldly a round them. In this dilemma tha sub -inspector ordered his] men to charge, which they did, without, however, inflicting any injury. This movement caused the crowd to retire somewhat, and the police, having completed their search, left the place, whereupon the people dispersed. It was reported that an order to fire on the people had been given, but there is no founda 2 , tion for such a rumour. The affair owed meat excitv: moat in tho locality, At Eight o'Clock.

The chief Candles of the Company are their " BELMONTINE" and "PRICE'S PARAFFINE" for those who must have the extreme transparency of pure Paraffin() ; their "GOLD MEDAL PALM.ITINE " and " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," for those who, while desiring candles of great beauty, require also steady brilliancy of light and freedom from smoke and smell; their good old-fashioned " BELMONT SPERM AND WAX," and "BEST" "No. 2," " No. 3," and "BATTERSEA" COMPOSITES for those who require only perfect burning without caring for transparency; and their "CHAMBER" Candles, hard, and of small diameter, to avoid the chippi of grease when cared. Their new toilet soap, "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIED GLYCERINE" con tains half its weight of their distilled Glycerine, and should be the one toilet soap in use, especially in winter, because of its admirable effects in preventing chapping of the hands and face. There ought also to be in every house one of the sealed bottles of their patent distilled Glycerine, known every where as "PRICE'S GLYCERINE," two or three drops of which, mixed with three or four times as much water, will in a day or two remove chapping and roughness of skin, whether of adults or children ; and when this is effected, a single drop of the undiluted Glycerine applied once a day will prevent the recurrence of the chapping and roughness. Insist on having " Price's Glycerine" in the Company's own sealed bottles, quantities of cheap impure Glycerine being now sold in the shor,s because of the low rate at which the dealers can buy it in comparison with Price's. All the good medical authorities abroad as well as at home order " PRICE'S" as the only Glycerine to be used. " PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS" for burning in the wide glasses, are believed to be the very best Night Lights made. " PRICE'S CHILD'S NIGHT LIGHTS" are known everywhere, and are excellent for burning without a glass.

LOSSES AT SEA.—At the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, Mr. Livingstone moved, " That the Chamber memorialise the Government on the subject of the numerous disasters at sea in the loss of trad ing vessels." He remarked that shipwrecks were increasing not only in excent, but in ratio, and, al though guiding insurance would protect the owner, every ship of meteorologi_ lost was a loss of capital to the nation. It was quite clear that the great proportion of these wrecks was due to causes over which we had control, and the remedy they should otuhlde ssehekipsw;ass—ecofinrsdtl,yt,hethbeetituerrnpisrhoivnigdino cal information ; and, thirdly, the prevention of fraud and the wilful casting away of ships. Mr. A. Thomson se conded the moticn, remarking that every year three mil lions of our property want to the bottom of the sea. Mr. R. M. Smith remarked that colour blindness on the part of those in charge of vessels was sometimes the cause of the loss of vessels. Mr. C. Gowan thought the loss of life was much more serious than the loss of property, and that they ought not to overlook the great cause of these losses— namely, overloading and deck cargoes. Storms often came on without even barometrical warning, and vessels at sea with heavy deck cargo es became quite unmanageable— and if the deck cargo wenCto the leeward side the ship inevitably foundered. Mr. Pearson referred to the Cunard line, which had only lost one ship in 29 years, as an example of how maritime disasters might by care be avoided. Mr. M‘Laren, M.P., remarked that a shipowner who took a deck load was either enriched above his neighbours or was able to undersell them. Either way he tempted bis neighbours to follow the same course, and some regulation was, therefore, urgently needed to prevent the influence of that temptation. He believed if the prin ciple of Lord Campbell's Act were applied to ships as well as to railways, and if the representatives of any deceased sailor could get damages for loss of life on proving before a jury that the ship was rot properly found or was over loaded when it left port, this would be one of the most effective remedies they could apply. After some remarks from Mr. Mlagan, M.P., on losses from spontaneous combustion, the motion was agreed to, and the matter was remitted to 41, committee, TILE IVESTNINSTER PALACE S -The petulant tone of Mr. Ferguson's letter in the Builder of the 4th inst. convinces me of the soundness of my judgment in hesitating to submit my case unreservedly to the decision of a com mittee of which he would possibly have been a member. While, on the one hand, the evidence he has examined compels him to give a verdict to a certain extent in my favour, on the other, the almost childish delight with which he perverts it into an opportunity for vilifying my father is so clumsily disguised, as to make his criticisms of little value. 1. Mr. Ferguson is not satisfied with having to find on the evidence, but he advances a ques tion totally foreign to it. His letter is as in genious as it is disingenuous. Never mind who " spoilt " the Houses—that is a question of prin- ciple and taste—who produced the original designs in 1835, before they were " spoilt ?" Mr. Fer guson having come forward to record his de cision on a professed examination of my pamphlet, I refuse to release him from his obligation to meet the main question and the evidence on which it rests. At present, he has only admitted the force of what is supposed to prove that my father " spoilt" the original designs, but he ignores alto- gether the evidence on the special point in dispute, and assumes that Si;C. Barry wasthe real architect, for the sole purpose of propounding the absurd, though amusing, theory that my father " spoilt" all Sir Charles's work by his " crotchets." My evidence all proceeds from the same sources. Half of it proves that Mr. Pugin spoilt the other half, says Mr. Ferguson ; therefore, Pugin was the author of the bad half, Sir C. Barry of the good. (I don't know whether Mr. Ferguson is a Cam bridge man, but I doubt it.) Meanwhile, what becomes of the Messrs. Barry's emphatic denials, and Mr. Wolfe's assertion, " that all the important changes in the building which decided its cha racter, were originated and designed by Sir C. Barry alone in the country, when he was not in communication with my father." 2. I beg to remind Mr. Ferguson that I qualified my statement about Sir C. Barry being the sole author of the " plan" of the Houses, by suggesting that even these. must have been modified by . the exigencies of the elevations. The "formality and regularity" of the south front do not necessarily prove that it was originally the design of Sir Charles, any more than the substitution of " pierced panels and an unmeaning network of flat, over done ornament," for "windows, grouped together with deep reveals," and `massive " buttresses," proves that Sir C. Barry was over-persuaded by my father to relinquish the latter, his own design, for the poverty and flatness of the present ele vations. Setting aside the gratuitous assump tion of . all this, the direct opposite is the more probable fact..; Who better than my father could appreciate " deep reveals " and grand effects of light and shade, and who knew better how to pro duce them? I shall be happy to submit to Mr. Ferguson a design of my father's, prepared in 1833, showing a facade quite as regular as that of the houses of parliament, ha v i ng " w i n d ows grouped - to gether with deep reveals, and consider able light and shade obtained by the form of the buttresses." The real truth is that my father's original work was " spoilt " by Sir C. Barry, to whose decision, as are as " architectural arrange ment" was concerned, he was obliged to yield ; and Mr. Ferguson shows his entire ignorance of my father's early works in propounding a suppo sition which entirely reverses the probabilities, if not the facts, of the case. 3. The cat and kitten simile is, no doubt, remark ably amusing and quite satisfactory to Mr. Fer guson, but for the life of rue I cannot see the point of it. As an architect I know that contrast is the essence of :effect. I know also that without contrast size is neither adequately distinguished nor appreciated. Neither do I perceive the value of Mr. Ferg u son's application of his criticism to the entrances under the Victoria Tower. At all events he has failed to perceive, _ _ _ . _ from Sir C. Barry's own letter, that he himself sent the "plans" of this part of the building to my father to design the elevations, and at the same time furnished the dimensions for them. But considera tions as to the true apportionment of the various parts of the work to their relative authors do not seem to trouble Mr. Ferguson in the pursuit of his extraordinary proposition. All that is Pugin's is bad—all that is Barry's is good. That is enough for him. His parti a lit y A fair and equit a bl e j u d ge , truly, in deciding on the present rival claims.is as plain as it is pungent. 4. As regards the Victoria Tower, the entries in the diary prove that my father was at work on the original production, and few will accept Mr. Ferguson's oracular denunciations of its present appearance. He complains that an " extinguisher caps the Clock Tower, instead of the beautiful design as originally published." One may well question Mr. Ferguson's competency to set up as an architectural critic, if he desires to see a spire on the present Clock Tower ; but what will he say when I tell him that such a spire on a clock-tower, proportioned to it, is actually executed at Semis brick Hall, whither I shall be happy to accompany Mr. Ferguson whenever he may claim my promise to do so. This building was designed and partly carried out at the same time as the Houses of Par liament, and is sufficiently successful to elicit from one of the first statesmen of the day the following expression :—" If I have reason for not believing all that you claim for your father regarding the Houses of Parliament, it lies in the fact that the work at Scarisbrick is so much bolder, effective, and more successful than that at Westminster." Mr. Ferguson contrasts archaeology with archi tecture, as though the results of the two studies were absolutely incompatible with, or spoilt each other ; and that whilst the Gothic revival had alone been archaeological, the classic was quite free from this vice, and altogether creative. But I should like to know, if my father and others of his contemporaries had not been archaeologists, where would Gothic architecture have been? Con fined, I imagine, to such specimens as Sir Charles Barry's original churches of imperishable mark, which are certainly as free from archaeological copyism as his classical buildings are, for the most part, mere plagiarisms on existing edifices. There is quite as much, if not more, archaeology in Sir C. Barry's Palladian or Renaissance structures as in any Gothic works I have ever seen, and as perfect a freedom from the true originality of genius. Successful, more or less, as reproductions or adaptations of existing works they may be, but original productions they are not. And why it should be 'culpable and ridiculous to revive the glories of an old minster or civic hall, but praise worthy and excellent to transfer the Fames° Palace or the Venetian Library from their own sunny soil to a London street I am at a loss to conceive ; or why the architect in his study and adaptation of the latter buildings should be less an archaeologist than the architect of the former. What Mr. Fer guson, from his normal condition of fretfulness and querulous dissatisfaction, ridicules as a fault in others he exalts as a merit in Sir C. Barry. Hap pily he is always in such exag gera t e d ex t remes o f praise or blame that his judgment .in questions connected with Gothic art has little influence, and we may be allowed to place his taste on a level with his impartiality. He has often done great service in destroying monsters, but he must leave to others the task of restoring what they have laid waste. A man who stigmatizes an architect like Mr. Street as a mere archaeologist is but little likely to do more than destroy. Mr. Ferguson stands in relation to architecture as Mr. Carlyle does in some respects to philosophy ; he can tear a fallacy to tatters, but oh ! for something good to replace it, Mr. Carlyle, however, thinks ; Mr, Fer. guson assumes and decides. " Sic volo, sic jubeo ; stet pro ratione voluntas." (It is an idiosyncrasy of his literally to rage in the presence of Gothic art. He must be exorcised before he can pronounce on its merits.) E.

We cannot too strongly reprobate the Fenian agitation and the crimes which it has already provoked ; in the first place because these crimes are crime 9, and the principles advocated by the Fenians are anarchical principles ; and secondly because this agitation cannot but render the lot of Ireland still more miserable. But it is of importance to note the attitude which the liberal Press is taking up towards this agita tion. We have nothing to say against the liberal Press for opposing Fenianism as we do, although it may astonish us ; but it is good to know the reason why it does so. One of the organs of Liberalism is calling the attention of its contem poraries to the subject. Some of them had ex pressed sympathy with Ireland. " Take care," says the other, " what you are about ; it is England which we must support, because it is the last refuge of Liberalism, the only Power able to oppose the complete triumph of clericalism,' which is rais ing its head again on the Continent." The matter then stands thus : The liberal Press will combat Fenianism because it is, as it pretends, one of the weapons of " clericalism." It will turn its back upon Ireland, as by-the-bye it has always done, and England, which admires Garibaldianism in Italy, but fears it at home, is to be defended by all the friends of liberty. But this is adopting a course of conduct contrary to that of the United States, which these friends of liberty admire so much, but what matters one contradiction the more?' . . . Such conduct, also, on the part of the liberal Press, is to go against Juarez, the Mexican Garibaldi, whomn our Liberals admire so much, although, perhaps, because, in union with the United States, he has forced us to abandon Mexico before its time; but Juarez persecutes the "clericals." Such noble conduct blots out all his faults. LADY HERBER7 AND THE WESTWNSTER POOR. The following letter has been addressed to the editor of the Times:— Slll,—May I venture once more to call the at tention of your readers to the state of extreme suffering which now exists among the better class of poor in the Westminster district, to which I belong ? It is not only occasioned by the severity of the weather, but by the almost unprecedented want of employment among the most respectable of the working classes- They have literally nothing to do ; and where the bread-winner is " at play" for weeks, the consequences to the family are terrible. A case was brought before me a few days ago of a very respectable woman, the mother of a large family, whose husband, though thoroughly sober and industrious, had been out of employment for months. She was lying on some rags in a corner of the room, and evidently dying from want. Too independent to beg, they had made their wants known to none. Everything they possessed had been pawned for food, and the voracity with which it was devoured by the children, when given, was horrible to see. But this is no exceptional case ; the overwhelming number of sick calls which have been crowded upon me during the last few weeks have, with very few exceptions, been caused by nothing but the want of the common necessaries of life. Well may a well-known popular writer exclaim—" The feasts and fasts are very well ob served in England ; the rich keep all the feasts, and the poor the fasts !" What I wish to make people understand is that the misery we have to meet is not the mere suffering which must attend the yearly recurrence of bitter cold and biting frost, but a distress quite independent of the season, and, moreover, that the hardest months are yet to come. Surely there are hundreds living at ease in this rich country who would gladly give of their abun dance were the facts brought efore their notice?-- I remain, sir, your faithful servant, MARY ELIZABETH HERBERT.

Francis Kirk, 25, Palace-street, Buckingham-gate, London ; and the Sisters of Charity, Carlisle-place, West minster, London. 2 HE UWE POLICY OF ENGLAND TOWARDS IRELAND. Never was there such an opportunity as the present for English statesmanship to rise above a commonplace level, and, in a broad and gene rous spirit, settle the Irish difficulty. This .is not the hour for recrimination. It is confessed that England has committed grievous wrongs against Ireland, against her liberty, and against her religion in past times, that numerous abuses, some of a larger, and some of a lesser kind, exist in Ireland, either injurious to the interests of the people or insulting to their national or religious feelings. On the other hand, Fenianism is a cruel and cowardly conspiracy, it is a crime against social order as well as against religion, and has to be put down by the strong arm of the. law. On these points there isno dispute. No Government in England but desires to remove the exist ing abuses, and those who have the interests of Ireland most at heart have denounced Fenianism as a crime, condemned by the Church equally. with Garibaldianism. But, after such an elementary agreement, the difficulty of a real reconcilement between England and Ireland begins; for, without such a national reconcilement, little can be done. Speaking almost as if they were representing, as no doubt they were, the opinions of a body so capable of judging of the interests and feelings of Ireland as the Irish clergy, the Very Rev. Dr. O'Brien and the clergy of Limerick aeknow ledge in their able declaration the preva lence in Ireland of a widespread disaffection, so determined in its character as in not im possible contingencies to be dangerous to the stability of the Empire. If it be true that the long neglect which Ireland has suffered, coupled with accidental circumstances such as the late American war, and its results in giving Fenianism a s mi military organization, and the spread of revolu tionary ideas on the Continent and at home, has brought about such a state of things as is de scribed in the Limerick declaration, every loyal Englishman, not only out of a sense of justice, but out of love of country, ought to insist upon a true reconciliation with Ireland. In a gene rous nature it cannot, of ter all, be so difficult to make the first step. England has not only to do justice now, but amends to make.
