The staple of t' e book is made up .of family docu ments, but there are also to be found interspersed with the Grenville narrative, letters from nearly every man of note, dating from the death of the elder Pitt to the end of the century. There are three periods upon which they sued a good deal of light —the formats n of the Coalition Ministry in 1783, the illness of the King In 1788, and the first war with' Republican France. Lord Grenville's letters to his brother afford a good deal of information on the machinations of th 3 Prince's party, and the conduct of the Prince and the Duke of York during the King's 'Dness. Hurst and 'Hackett, Publishers, Successors to Henry Colburn, 13, Great Marlborough-street. CONNEMARA. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT no opinion whatever that his honour was compromised. (Hear, hear.) Earl GREY thanked the noble duke for the observa tions having special reference to himself, but still he must express his regret that Government did not intend to order an investigation. He must also refresh the noble duke's recollection as to what had really occurred last year. There was a distinct understanding that in vestigation was impracticable then, but was to take place in the present, and he was really mistaken if the late administration had not fully intended that an investigation s h ou l d take place. Further, he must beg leave to say , that if the case against the New Zealand Company was in pa r t th e i r h av i ng concealed certain contingent liabilities, the lapse of time would now set the question at rest, as the liabilities must have fallen in, and Government been called upon to make payment. With respect to the two legal opinions, the most serious charge was that, by sending out one of those opinions, and supp ress i ng the other, the settlers at Nelson had been induced to agree to an ar rangement which they would otherwise have resisted. That was a point in which justice to the settlers and the honour of Parliament was concerned, and the act of passing the bill by no means rendered it less necessary. But more than that, although much had not been said in their lordships' house of the pecuniary part of the question, it was confidently stated in the other house of Parliament that some money which had been advanced by Parliament for public purposes was misapplied by the directors to purposes in which they themselves had per sonal interest. The present President of the Board of Works had made that charge, and offered to prove his charge before a committee of inquiry. Now, if a large sum of public money had been .misapplied, it was the duty of the Government to insist on investigation, and if it had taken place to enforce repayment. Charges of direct malversation had been brought forward, and it was the duty of Government to institute the fullest in quiry. (From the 'Timm ) The designation of Conmaiene-Mara, corruptly pro nounced and written Connemara, signifying Bays of the Ocean, is applied generally to the whole tract of country from Lough Corrib to the Atlantic, although, in fact, it is subdivided into th e separate di str i cts o f Connemara Proper, Jar-Connaught, and Joyce's Country. It is singular enough that, barring the wild beasts and the trees of which he speaks, both of which have disappeared totally, the description of a worthy choregrapher of 1684, from whom I have before borrowed, pretty accu rately represents the Connemara. of 1852. He paints it thus :—" The country is generally coarse, moorish, and mountainous, full of hi g h roc k y hill s , large valleys, peat bogs, and some woods, whereof it had abundance before they were cut. It is replenished with rivers, brooks, lakes, and standi ng wa t ers, even on th e t o p s o f the highest mountains. On the sea-side are many ex cellent large and safe harbours for ships to ride on an chor ; the climate is wholesome, so as divers attain to the age of 90 years, 100, and upwards. The land pro duces wild beasts as wolves, d eer , f oxes , badgers, hedge hogs, hares, rabbits, squirrels, martins, weasles, and the amphibious otter, of which the white-faced otter is very rare. It is never killed, they say, but with loss of man or dog, and its skin is mighty precious. It admits no rats to live anywhere within it, except the Isles of Arran, and the district of the west liberties of Galway. The water streams, besides lampreys, roches, and the like, of no value, breed salmons (where is recourse to the sea), eels, and divers sort of trouts. The sea here is plenti fully stored with fish—as cods, . hawkfish, coale fish, turbots, piaises, haddogs, whitings, gurnards, macrells, herrings, pilchards, &c. ; an d no ess librall of shell-fish, as oysters, scollops, cockles, muscles, razares, together with lobsters, crabs, shrimps. &c. It now and then casts ashore great whales, gramps, porcupisses, thanies. Both sea and land have their _several kinds of birds. Here the ganet soars high into the sky to espy his prey to the sea under him, at which he casts himself headlong into the sea, and swallows up whole herrings in a morsell. This bird flies through the ship's sailes, piercing them with his beak." The worthy author gives an account of various other " fouler," in addition to barnacles, wild geese, swans, cocks of the wood, and woodcocks, and especially of " the bird engendered out of timber long lying in the sea." " Here, too," he adds, " are rivers which breed pearls, and the sea shears have amber-greese often cast into them. The greatest number of cattle are of cows, the soil being for the most part good only for pasture and grazing, and very fertile of all kinds of herbs. The chief est product, thsrefore, and greatest commodity is beef, butter, allow, hides, and of late cheese,' out of the Isle of A.ran ; yet it yields as much corn, of wheat, ba r ly, oa t s , ne the inhabitants, and fur nanisdhertthase m is a e r n k e e n t g b h es t i e de s s u . stai Such were the appearance and condition of the Far West in 1684, and such, with very trifling differences, are they now. The people are rather worse off ; there are no wolves, no deer, and no trees, and genets no longer fly through the sails of ships. The fish, however, still abound on the coasts. The salmon and the trouts are in the rivers, and the cods, the turbots, the haddocks, the mackerels, the herrings, e th ea e st oy fi s s t h er e s r , ies and are t , he in lo f b ae sters rie a h re en m eng th h e te seas Th e coast support he of themselves the population'. The fishing, however, is fortunatelyinsufficient means, in la t z e i r ry. itte T nti he y, r w iv i e t r h s vaerry e chiefly in the hands of English gentlemen', some of o and pursued very whom rent them for pleasure and others for profit. In the latter category may be mentioned Mr. Ashworth, the wealthy millownner of Lancashire, who has lately purchased the Corrib Fishery for 5,6001., and is apply ing himself to its perfectionment by the assistance of his clever agent Mr. Holliday, with that energy and judgment which distinguish the English manufacturer. The coast fishery is not so fortunate ; and from Gallway to Black Head is mainly in the hands of the native fisherman of the ancient village of the Claddagh, now a suburb of Galway. Inglis speaks of this community as clean said indus trious, and he is so accurate that I have no doubt they may have been so ; but now they certainly are neither the one nor the other. Their village consists of a g inhabited between by rows a population o of pn I d a i t r i t e y n , com plication of narrow, di r ty l anes , d otted throughout their length with slops of s t agnan t water and heaps of putrid miserablefi t h, and hovels. wandering r i n crookedly These are unskilled in their craft, ill supplied with the means of following it, idle, jealous, lazy, tyrannical, quarrelsome, and cowardly in the highest degree. They regard the sea as their private and exclusive property, and will nei ther fish it effectually themselves, _nor suffer anybody else to do so. The district which is knoivn familiarly as Connemara, with its islands, possesses nearly 400 miles of sea-shore. On the south and west, it is embraced by sea, and is bounded on the east by the great lakes of Corrib and Mask. affording now an open navigation from the head of Lough Mash to the Bay of Gal way, so that the surface presents nearly as much water as land ; water that exacts no rent, and is full of produce. It contains, among other advantages, not less than 20 safe and capacious harbours. The district em braces in itself, and is adjacent to, some of the finest and most productive fishing banks in the world. Among others may be named the bank off Black Head, one of the best trawling banks on the coast, the Sun Fish Bank, the Cod and Ling Bank to the west of Arran, and the Cod and Ling Bank of Bofin. These are, host; ever, for the greater part, at a considerable distance from the shore and in deep soundi ngs ; an d as th e fi s h ermen of the district have neither boats fitted to stand the weather they must expect to encounter at sea, nor the gear for deep fishing, their powers of production remain com paratively undeveloped. That they present, however, a field for enterprise that may be cultivated with large profit has been satisfactorily proved by the entire success of the experiment which was made last year by Mr. Sing, the incumbent of Arran, and which, I believe, is still continued. I offer no opinion as to the propriety of a clergyman undertaking such a speculation : that I leave to Mr. Sing's bishop. At the same time, I imagine the most zealous of men could scarcely occupy all his time and energies with the care of the half-dozen Protestants who form the flock of the Established pastor of the Isles of Arran. Be that as it may, Mr. Sing has, for some time now, trawled day by day in the Connemara district, cruising from Galway to Blacksod Bay. His ordinary fishing-ground, however, during the time I was on the coast, appeared to be from the boundary trawling line in Galway Bay up to the Bofin Bank. His trawler consisted of a cutter of about 48 tons. His net profits, as I was informed from authority which I could not doubt, notwithstanding very high wages which he paid his crew, varying from 30s. to 21. per week, ranged from 401. to 501. a-month. Mr. Sing was continually impeded in his enterprise by the threats and the turbulence of the Claddagh fisher men who, though they were restrained by the fear of the armed revenue cutter, which was ordered to keep an eye upon them, from actually boarding him, and, as they had threatened, scuttling his vessel, made many half attempts at surprise, aad pelted him with fish, offal, and every kind of violent insult. He had supplied him self with about 30 stand of arms, and begged bard of the Inspecting Commander of the Coast Guard for the loan of a crew of his men. I suggested that an old' jacket or two in the rigging would answer every pur pose. I doubt which were the most afraid of each other, Mr. Sing or the Claddagh fishermen. It put one irre sistibly in mind of the duel between Sir Andrew Ague cheek and Viola. Poor Mr. Sing, however, appeared to live a singular life of accumulating profit and con- We candidly confess that in our yesterday's remarks on the rumoured Ministerial plan for dealing with the Three per Cents. we had not fathomed the depth or unravelled the ingenuity of Ministerial finance. Pre mising that it was only a rumour that we dealt with, we described that rumour to be the offer of 2i per cent. for 20 years, secure from further reduction, with the equal certainty of redemption at par at the end of that period. We believed the proposal by no means un favourable to the public creditor, while, supposing it to be accepted by all holders of the stock in question, it would save the nation at once two millions and a-half per annum. Had it not been thought favourable to the creditor as well as to the State, the value of Consols would not have risen in the market as they did on Wednesday, when this was the form and shape rumour gave to the Ministerial announcement. The resolutions are now before us, and we must say that they look more like what scholars call a praxis, or an exercitatio in finance, than a serious propo sition to the Legislature. If we could suppose some student calculating, or attempting to calcu late, a number of equivalent securities, varied by caprice rather than any reference to the wants of capi talists, we have before us the results of his morning's speculations, carefully preserved, as if they had cost too much labour to be thrown into the waste-paper basket, The Chancellor of the Exchequer offers as many as four alternatives in return for one security, for it is substan tially one description that is dealt with. This is con trary to all the rules of prudence. It assumes for the originator of the bargain a great part of that responsi bility that usually and properly attaches to the persons to whom the bargain is propounded. The former should leave the latter to make counter-bids, that is equivalent offers, if he likes ; but should rest his own case on one carefully-considered proposal. As it is the creditor will simply examine the four proposals gratuitously placed before him, and choose that which he thinks best. This has already been done by the skilful calculators of the city, and they have fixed on one of the alternatives which will evidently carry the day :—that is, would carry the day should the resolutions ever pass into law. Mr. Gladstone first deals with some peculiar stocks which answer no other purpose than to encumber the " quotations" and perplex the uninitiated. These ought long since to have been reduced to one description. That is now proposed to be done, and, if the resolutions become law, the very names of the South Sea Annuities, &c., will cease. Their holders are summoned to accept one of four alternatives, the last three of which are of fered also to all holders of Consols or 3 per Cents. Re duced. The four alternatives are :-1001. in money for every 1001. stock ; or 821. 10s. of a new 3i per cent. stock, guaranteed against reduction for 40 years ; or 1101. of a new 2i per cent. stock, with a like guarantee ; or an Exchequer bond for 1001., bearing interest at 21 per cent. for 10 years, and 2i per cent. for 30 more. Why this last proposition, with the inconvenient feature of a drop In the interest after ten years, should ever have been made, we cannot conceive, unless as a mere feat of calculation, or on the model of the vanishing sugar duties. The only alternative, however, worth considering is the offer of 1101. in 2i per Cents., guaran teed till 1894. Supposing the resolutions to be adopted, and all the holders of Three per Cents. to make this selection, it will save the country a quarter per cent, on the interest of about 500,000,000/. Three per Cents., that is, about 1,250,0001. a-year ; 1101., at 24 per Cent., being equivalent to 1001. at 21. So far the annual saving to the country would be only half that to be an ticipated from the scheme as• rumour had described if. But, inasmuch as it is proposed to increase the nominal capital in this alternative from 1001. to 1101., that would be an addition of 10 per cent. to the capital subjected to the process, and in the year 1894 our descendants would have to thank us for adding about fifty millions to the national debt. HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) THE NEW ZEALAND COMPANY. Earl GREY, who was indistinctly heard at the com mencement of his observations, reminded the house that during the previous session of Parliament an accusation of a serious nature was thrown out against the New Zealand Company, it being stated, among other things, that money granted by Parliament for public purposes had been grossly misapplied by the directors, while the conduct of the latter with reference to the settlers had been stigmatised as fraudulent. In the other House of Parliament it was expressly stated by two gentlemen, both now occupying positions in the Government, that they considered those charges to be of the most serious character, and that thay were prepared to prove them at any time. He referred to the present Chancellor of the Exchequer and the President of the Board of Works. Sir Wm. Molesworth stated on the third reading of the New Zealand Bill that he had endeavoured to prevent fraud, but had failed, and that he was prepared to sub stantiate before a committee all the facts he had stated. It was proposed, in consequence of these statements, that certain clauses should be struck out of the bill. The Secretary of State did not express any decided opinion on the charges, but said that they constituted a strong prima facie case against the company, that they required investigation, and that pending that investiga tion it was not just to New Zealand that the land clauses of the bill should be permitted to become law. Under these ciscumstances, he (Earl Grey) trusted their lord ships would concur with him in thinking that investiga tion was absolutely necessary, and the fact of the bill having passed made not the slightest difference. Be cause if the New Zealand Company had been guilty of misappropriating the public money it was the right and duty of Parliament to see that money repaid out of the proceeds of the land sales. In the same manner, if it were true that gross fraud had been committed on the settlers of Nelson it was the duty of Parliament to see that redress was afforded. He was, therefore, anxious to know whether any inquiry was contemplated by the Government, and he was the more interested because in the discussion to which he had alluded it was broadly stated that he had himself connived at the frauds of the New Zealand Company. The fact was that the case was sub witted to him, but on investigation he became convinced that nothing had been done calculated to throw the slightest discredit on the honour and fair dealing of the directors. Being so satisfied he had stated his opinion, and he understood that his successor in office had come to a similar conclusion, He submitted, however, that the matter was not in a position in which it could be allowed to rest. When the bill passed through Par liament the voluminous papers on the subject of New Zealand had not been printed, and therefore it was ut terly impossible to go into the investigation. He sub mitted, however, that now the time had a rr i ve d f or ascer taining in the osest manner whether the public money had been misapplied, and if so, who was to blame, and what measures for procuring redress should be under taken, and for that reason he begged to ask the noble duke the Secretary for the Colonies whether it was the intention of Government to institute any inquiry, by means of a Parliamentary committee or otherwise, into, the charges which had been made against the New Zea land Company ? The Duke of NEWCASTLE said that he was not prepared at this distance of time to state whether the noble earl had accurately represented what had taken place in the other house of Parliament during the last session, but as regarded the part which he (the Duke of Newcastle) had taken in that house; the noble earl had in the main correctly stated the opinions which he had expressed ; at the same time he thought that the noble earl had considerably overstated one part of the aceusa tions brought against the New Zealand Company, while he had dwelt very lightly indeed on that part of the accusations against them which had been more imme diately under the consideration of both houses of Parlia ment, and in regard to which he (the Duke of Newcastle) had certainly expressed an opinion that it was inexpe dient to pass a certain portion of the measure. The noble earl said that grave charges had been brought against the company of a misappropriation of funds. He (the Duke of Newcastle) hardly knew to what the noble earl alluded in that statement. Misappropriation was, indeed, to a certain extent employed in the charges against the company, but the main charge under discus. sion had been this—that in negotiations with the Govern ment of which the noble earl was a member and Sir Charles Wood Chancellor of the Exchequer, the company had concealed from the Government, and especially from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had then under his consideration a measure for the relief of the com pany from their pecuniary difficulties, that they had con cealed or practised a fraud upon the public, by repre senting that they were taking a legal opinion with regard to their liabilities, upon which legal opinion the question of their liabilitie s was t o res t, that that opinion was ad verse to the company, that they thereupon took another opinion, which was favourable to them, and that they presented the latter to the Government, conceaiing the fact that there was another. That had been the charge last year, and upon hearing it ho (the Duke of New castle) had said, and ha adhered to the opinion, that it was inexpedient, and improper, and impolitic, when a charge of such a suppressio yeri, to say the least of it, had been made, to give that company the additional ad vantages which were conferred by the act. What were those advantages ? It had been found that the act passed by the Government in consequence of the ar rangements to which he had referred, had been inope rative to obtain for the company in New Zealand those advantages which were then contemplated both by the Government and the company, and the latter had not received that portion of the pro ceeds of the land sales of the colony which it was contemplated to give them. Thereupon, in the bill of last year, a new arrangement was made, and it was proposed to saddle the debt of £268,000 he be lieved that was the sum—upon the lands of the colony. It was made a condition upon the concession of the management of the lands to the colonists themselves ; and lie (the Duke of Newcastle) certainly had stated then, and his right hon. friends in the other house of Parliament had also stated, that any additional boon to a company lying under such great imputations and charges ought not to be conceded without full investiga tion into such. charges • and, without expressing any opinion as to their truth, he had said that such an inves tigation must be th e fi rs t s t ep th a t s h ou l d b e taken. He ha also stated that he was by no means anxious to place the company in any less advantageous position than that in which they had been placed by the Government in 1848, and that, therefore, anxious as he was that the colonists of New Zealand should receive the great boon which was given them, by the act of the management of their own land sales, he was prepared to omit from that bill this concessicn, in order that the whole ques tion might remain open until another Year, with the view of a full investigation. But Parliament had overruled that opinion ; by a division in the other house it had been determined that this concession should be;at once made, without any investigation, and with out waiting for the correspondence which had been laid on the table of the House of Commons during the present session. The bill had come up to their lordship's house at the end of the session, and he had found that it would be useless to divide the house, and that the decision of Parliament was adverse to him ; no inquiry was con sidered advisable, and none took place. But for what purpose had he said that an investigation ought to be made ? For the purpose of deciding whether it was right that this boon should be conferred. The boon had been conferred, the question had been so far settled, and though he by no means bound himself or the Govern ment with regard to their future conduct on this ques tion, when, as he anticipated, it might shortly be raised again, yet he must say that he thought that this was of ail others the least expedient moment for Parliament to institute an inquiry either by committee or otherwise. One additional concession had been demanded last year by the New Zealand Company, and when that was under consideration he thought that an inquiry was right and necessary for the honour of Parliament. He had been overruled, but now what immediate cause was there for any investigation ? He had said that the time might arrive when an investiga tion would be necessary, and that would be when they ' knew how the colonists had received the measure of last year. He did not think that that measure would be re newed with entire accord and satisfaction. He expressed that opinion, not in consequence of any communication which had reached him, but from the mode in which the colonists had received a bill which had been brought in at the end of the session before last, to which, as throw ing a burden on their finances, they had strongly ob jected. They had entrusted to him (the Duke of New castle), in November last, two or three petitions on the subject, and from their tone he certainly anticipated that there would be remonstrances when the act of last session reached the colony. But he did not think that they ought now to enter on a field of inquiry (without any distinct object) or broach questions which might be brought under their notice before many mouths, or even weeks had elapsed. (Hear, hear.) He could see no necessity now for reopening the question, the proper moment for investigation having (as he said) passed by. With reference to the statement which the noble earl had made, of any individual interest which he might feel, he (the Duke of Newcastle) hoped that it would be unnecessary for him to say that he had never said, and never believed, that the noble earl, either in his private or official capacity, had been guilty of conniving at or screening any proceedings which he be lieved to be inconsistent with the public faith or with the public interest. In the blue-book which had appeared, containing the correspondence on this subject, there were two private letters which showed what had been the feeling of the noble earl on receiving the first inti mation of these transactions, and those letters would completely exonerate him from any charge of this nature. He (the Duke of Newcastle) would abstain from express ing any opinion w ith regar d to su b sequent official com munications of the nobl e ear l a ft er h e became convi . needof P of the erroneous vi ew w hi c h h e h ad taken in his Private e communications, becau se it was not the intention Government to prop ose any i nvestigation into these t ters, and it would b e unadvisable that h e shoulde xplureast; any such opinion ; but, so far as the noble earl himself was concerned, whatever may be the case with regard to other parties, he (the Duke of Newcastle) entertained Now Ready, price 10s. 6d. each, bound (completing the Work), VOLS. 111. and IV. of EVELYN'S DIARY AND CORRESPONDENCE.

Published, for Henry Co'burn, by his Successors, flurst and Blackett, 13, Great Marlborough-street. - Tile Duke of NEWCASTLE said he had admitted the necessity of investigation, but denied the fitness of the present time for the purpose. He thought they should have the views of the people of Nelson before they proceeded further, and, in the meantime, he begged to say that he had made no charge of malversation of public money. He believed that the parties most in terested had expressed a strong wish for inquiry. Earl GREY admitted that the New Zealand Com pany had expressed the utmost anxiety for the fullest inquiry. He could only say, that if he had brought forward charges of so heavy a nature, he should have taken care they did not fall to the ground. However, it was a lesson to those who, by their present conscious reluctance, showed that their former accusations were groundless, not again to be so rash in circulating slan derous imputations against men who were of as high honour as themselves. Their lordships adjourned at a quarter to 8 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--(YESTERDAY.) ACCIDENTS IN COAL MINES. In reply to Mr. HUTCHINGS, • Mr. FITZROY said the Government would have no objection to the re-appointment of the committee on accidents in mines, but just now t wo o f t h e i nspectors of mines had obtained leave to visit France, in order to ascertain the means adopted in those countries for the prevention of such accidents, and it would be more convenient if the hon. member postponed his mo tion until their return. Mr. HUTCHINGS said he would consent to that course. IRISH CONSOLIDATED ANNUITIES. Mr. MOORE then rose to, move, that in the opinion of this house, it is the duty of her Majesty's Govern ment forthwith to take into consideration the Irish Con solidated Annuities, in order to effect a more equitable settlement of the claims for which those annuities were granted, by remitting the amount charged on account of the-Labour Rate Acts, 9 and 10 Vic., c. 107, and 10 and 11 Vic., 87, whilst the repayment of the workhouse loans, the advances for temporary relief, Act 10 Vic., c. 7, the advances for public works, under the Acts 1 Vic., c. 21, and 9 Vic., c. 1, and for the aid of the distressed districts, under the Act 13 Vic., c. 14, are fully pro vided for. He tame before the house to ask them to consider a question which deeply affected the whole people of' Ireland. This was entirely a matter of facts and details not of principle, and it would be for the house to decide whether it was not due to Ireland that these anomalies should be remitted as an act of justice. He did not ask for it on any other ground, and he trusted, therefore, that both sides of the house, and members of all parties, were ready to give the question a fair and impartial con sideration. It had been once investigated by a commit tee of the house, composed of all shades of opinion, and the unanimous recommendation of that was to abolish this objectionable tax. The committee thoroughly stud;ed the whole subject, they took evidence upon it collected from all part of Ireland, and given by persons who were entitled to confidence and respect, and the unanimous resolution which they arrived at was that which he had just stated. Nothing was left undone, nor was any point withheld from the committee which ( could have induced the committee to come to a different conclusion. (Hear, hear.) He should be sorry to argue that the house ought to be bound ' by the decision of any committee ; but this was an ex ceptional case to the ordinary rule. The country went with the committee in their recommendation, and since this tax was grossly unjust, besides being highly ob noxious to the feelings of Ireland, it was the duty of the house to adopt it. Common sense and sound policy were like in favour of the remission of the tax, and he hoped the house would have no hesitation in passing the motion. Ireland had never refused to dis charge her just debts or to repay advances that had been made to her as grants ; but she had no right to pay this tax, and it would be an act of policy as well as gene rosity to relieve her from it. Mr. FRENCH seconded the motion. He contended that the report of the Lords' committee on the subject at issue was perfectly just, and he was prepared to prove that it was perfectly moderate in its recommendations. He regretted the necessity for the present motion, and he felt bound to say that the representatives of Ireland had not been fairly treated in regard to the matter at issue by the right hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, before ho made any remark on the subject matter of this motion, he must express the very sincere regret with which he had listened to that portion of the speech of the hon. member for Mayo, in which the hon. member treated this as a ques tion between Ireland and Sir Charles Trevelyan. Everything done, of which the hon. member complained, he laid on the shoulders of Sir Charles Trevelyan, and described that pub lic servant, whom he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) did not hesitate to characterise as an eminently able, up right, honest, and indefatigable man, in terms which he had never heard applied by any member of Parliament to ono of that most valuable class of civil servants of the coun try who were the advisors of the Executive Government, who had no means of defending themselves in that house or otherwise when attacked—(hear, hear)---whose useful advice and successful propositions invariably redounded to the credit and honour of the Ministers of the day, whose advice and propositions ought to be laid to the charge and the responsibility of the Ministers, and ought not to be made the basis of a gross personal attack. (Hear, hear.) It was with surprise and regret that, for the first time during some experience, he had listened to such terms as those in which the hon. member described Sir C. Trevelyan as "a dogmatist, a theorist, a practical blunderer, who spared nothing, an d w h o scrup l e d at nothing." He was ' satisfied there were few men in that house who would have made such an attack, and he doubted very much whether the hon. gentleman himself would hereafter repeat it. (Hear.) Whatever Sir C. Trevelyan had advised or done in this matter, it ought not to be laid to his door ; it was to be laid to the door of the Government who adopted the mea- , sures which he advised ; and if the measures were not sound 1 in principle, or bad been found unsuccessful in practice, it was the Government only on whom the blame ought t o b e laid. Ho might personally remark of the peculiarity of this dis cussion. He did not recollect the ease of a financial pro position of great importance made to the Commons House of Parliament, and supported almost exclusively on the basis of the report of a committee of the House of Lords. He did not mean to say that when justice and good sense were involved in the proceedings of a committee of the HOMO of Lords, they ought not to be attended to ; but ho member entirely for de Mayo demurred btruvote of the report of that committee, when c h o onou i i r t a t b ee le , when ho designated it as a high and commanding autho rity. He did not admit the doctrine that the report of a committee of the House of Lords upon a question of finance was to be urged in the House of Commons, not merely as a matter reasonable and deserving attention, but as a high and commanding authority. (Hear.) He was much more disposed to think that the report of a commit tee of that chamber of the Legislature which was not the taxing chamber, ought to be received with some jealousy by the body to whom was entrusted the functions of tax- ing the people and deciding upon the burdens to be cast upon them ; at the same time they ought to consider whatever merits it might have in reference to the standard of' reason and justice. (Hear, hear.) He was bound t t s i a r y e l y that, y awhreepnorhteotfleasccorimbedmitttehee mofotthioennaosusseupoifJoLrott,ehnoe. misstated the case, for the hon. gentleman who had ju s t of Ithe HOuseof sat down went beyond the committee Lords, and was of opinion that these Consolidated Annui- , ties, involving large sums of money due from this country, oug ht to be remitted, although the co Irelmand tomittee of the Ho use o f Lords declined to make any suc h nmiletntdeaettitoidn. no l t n g t o he f v a, lew en of iin the hon, gentleman the recom co- urged wh a t th e House of oLuogrd 8 d a : e l ti t ehde theonu.rggeenintletmbeainr reestpizta.tedTthheeheoxnp.egnedinttluermeafnn argued that because it was wasdlnar y e x ue yearssdedw, thatoulcl constitutedamount - British Exchequer.

The hon. gentleman who made the motion did not ask for the remission of the money as a boon, or as a matter of equitable consideration, but on grounds of strict justice • he founded it on c h arges w hi c h, he made aga i nst the Government and Parliament of this this country, which he said were guilty of great misdeeds, the consequence of which misdeeds Ireland ought not to bear. For reasons which he should state by and by, he We have no hesitation in laying it down as a;principle that, whatever we do, we are not justified in increasing the capital of the debt. We may increase the interest as much as we please, within reasonable limits and for a moderate term of years ; but to make a bargain with the national creditor, adding fifty millions to the debt, when the children born this year shall be forty years old, simply and solely in order to escape paying 1,250,0001. a-year ourselves, would be nothing less than disgraceful, and certainly most contrary to the resolute, sturdy, self denying spirit of our recent commercial and financial le gislation. It is to this point that the study of finance should be specially directed, and whoever shall devise some means of diminishing our fatal inheritance of debt will indeed earn a place in the first rank of British statesmen. Now that the great names of the last long and glorious war are becoming historical, we may com plain that we of this day have no such opportunity of distinguishing ourselves. One way, however, is open to those who would win a place in the memories of that splendid era. The man who can devise a means for paying off the debt of the war may well rank with the statesmen who directed it and the great captains who fought it by sea and by land. It Mr. Gladstone would tell us how to extinguish the capital of our stupendous debt by the end of this century, that would be worth the addition of another 5,000,0001. a-year to our present burden. His proposition, little as we expected it from such a quarter, is quite in the other direction. It is to spare ourselves at the expense, or at least at the risk, of our children. Mr. Gladstone evi dently does not anticipate so great a preference for this particular alternative. He gives to posterity the option of reducing our debt by a hundred millions, that is, sup posing the 821. 10s. at 31 per cent. generally accepted. But, unfortunately, posterity is not here to make its choice ; -the choice is to be made now by living capitalists, and they will undoubtedly select the alternative that spares themselves at the expense of the country forty years hence. In another part of our impression it is suggested that the Resolutions be at once amended by the omission of this one alternative, and we cannot but agree that its surrender will come with more grace now than at the end of a Parliamentary struggle. THE GOVERNMENT BOOKSELLING CONCERNS. In an article on the education question in the new number of the Edinburgh Review, the writer, in reviewing Sir James Kay Shuttleworth's new work, remarks : " We are glad to observe that Sir James Kay Shuttle worth expresses a very decided opinion on a subject which is one of considerable importance, and which has been much discussed. With reference to the publica tion and trading in school books by the Government, Sir James Kay Shuttleworth remarks :—' It is essential that the Government should avoid every form of inter ference which could discourage individual enterprise, the freedom of opinion, and the natural action of litera ture on the popular intelligence and taste, or of the trade in books in their production and diffusion. The Govern ment is not an author, a holder of copyrights, a publisher of books, nor a patron of methods ; much less is it to interfere in the formation of opinion, by making schools the organs of its own doctrines.' And he adds—' I concur with the great publishing houses of London in their objections to any sale of the books of the Irish Commissioners in Great Britain, except through the ordinary channels of trade.' This is an opinion founded on sound principles. The act of copyright creates a monopoly for the encouragement of literature, and thus for the benefit of the public. It never was contemplated that the Government should buy up, or in any way hold, these monopolies. If they hold them, they must either trade in books, and carry on the business of booksellers in all its details, or they must restrict the use of their works to their own schools. In the one case they embark in a business they cannot carry on without prejudice to the public interest ; in the other, they deprive the public of the books they have every right to demand, inasmuch as they have been con structed at their own cost. It would, indeed, be a nar row and exclusive policy, little to be commended, were the Government to use the influence they possess, to en courage the most able writers, free of money payment, to write books restricted to the use of their own schools. It cannot be supposed that any writer would, of his own choice, restrict the circulation and utility of his writings to a particular class of schools. On the contrary, he should desire that they might have the widest diffusion, thus extending the public benefit, and at the same time securing to himself, in the most legitimate way, that just reward which should result to him from a public re cognition of the value of his services."—Edinburgh Re view. tinual apprehension. There is at the same time no question that these Clad dagh fishermen block the way to any improvement or progress among the fishermen of the coast generally. Banded together in an ancient community, they make laws in the most arbitrary spirit for the whole fishing population of these coasts, and enforce them in the most despotic and, occasionally, most violent manner. I have myself known the Clare men, when the bay was full of mackerel, come humbly over from the opposite coast to ask whether they might fish the bay on the following day, and receive from these 'self-constituted despots a flat refusal, for no better reason than that they happened to be full of fish, and were afraid of the mark e t b e i ng better supplied than suited their views of their o wn inte rests—a restriction of competition beyond the f a b u l ous dreams that their opponents attributed to the most ultra- Protectionist. Had the others ventured to disregard the veto, they would certainly have had their gear cut to pieces, and probably found themselves beaten to death's door. The emigration of the , whole tribe would be the best thing that could happen for the district. Th ey are gradually, as a separate community, melting away or being absorbed ; but in the meantime the Government would do wisely were they to station a small steamer on the coast. The cutter of the coast guard had orders while I was there to protect the fishery ; but in calm weather, her restraint was comparatively inefficient. Correspondent of the Morning Post. MANAGEMENT OF THE DEAD IN THE METROPOLIS.— The number of superficial feet in an acre is 43,560. Hence we have merely to establish a simple rule and say, if so many superficial feet are made to contain so many bodies, how many will 43,560 (the acre) contain ?

DEPARTURE OF THE UNITED STATES AND .CANADIAN MAILS.—On Wednesday forenoon, shortly before ten, the United States mail steamship Pacific, Captain Nye, sailed from the Mersey for New York with the usual mails for the United States and British possessions of North America, 66 passengers, and a large cargo of merchandise on freight. FAMILIARITY AND TAMENESS OF THE RED-BRE A ST.— In the last number of K i dd's Journal of Natural History, are some very interesting anecdotes of the robin, contributed from many sources. In addition, the editor records a very pleasing as well as curious fact connected with a pair of these tame birds now " sitting" in his own gr eenhouse. After detailing their many pretty attractions , the editor adds :—" This same pair of robins; about which our pen has been so often eloquent, are now 'sitting. They have built their nest on a shelf in the greenhouse, close to the dwelling hcuse. It is in one corner, based on an old japanned dressing-box, over which a pair of garden shears, in an upright position, are carelessly placed. Between the handles, is the place of entrance and exit. It was as good as a play to watch the construction of that nest, and see the large mouthfuls of dead leaves, hay, and hair, that were carried in. We were invited to look, atid we did look ; and no doubt we shall see, as we have before seen, the exodus of the happy family' when fledged. Our wrens, dunnocks, and thrushes are all equally tame ; and we look daily for the nightingales and blackcaps to complete the ' band' that always Sojourns with us in spring and summer. If we could only prevail upon our neighbours to lay aside their mur derous guns, who could be more happy than we and our little families ?'

He should not refer to the judgment of the Government with regard to it, but to the the th? remis sionßelife of 2, arguments ooo, gentleman , raiooseodl.beyrt3h,eooohoon.cli. expended Act of 1846, ou g ht to be made on grounds of strict justice, and because the exaction of it would be a wrong inflicted on Ireland. There, aga in, he did not think the two hon. u thatter gentlemen had made good their case. The statement seemed to be that the Parliament and Government of this country had intruded into the position and usurped the functions of the landed proprietors or Ireland. (Hear, hear, from Mr. Moore.) He believed these were some of words used—" that the mode of relief chosen was con demned by the people of Ireland"—of course, that meant condemned at the time, because if not at the time it meant nothing—" that the parties who administered relief seduced labourers, caused deaths and starvation, which would not otherwise have taken place, and diminished the amount of means of subsistence in the country." The whole was summed up with a long bill which Ireland had paid in re compensesaid that when the British Parliament enacted the poor law, fel- the great wrongs done to her. It might be they committed something like a usurpation of the functions of the landed proprietors. But if they had not assumed those functions, they must have remained in abeyance. Parliament passed the poor-law against the opinion of Irish proprietors, and he supposed it would not be pretended now to say that Parliament erred in doing so. (Hear, hear.) He knew, whatever might be the opi nion of the mover of this proposition, that the public at large, and the people of Ireland owed a deep debt of grati tude to the noble lord for having passed that poor-law. (Cheers.) It was now made a great charge against the Government that its officials were placed in the position of the landed proprietors. Ho wanted to show that, in pass ing the poor-law, the Government and its officials were put in the place of the landed proprietors under the pressure of very strong necessity—absolute necessity—for the wel fare of the people of Ireland ; and therefore it was not a conclusive argument against the proceedings of Parlia ment, if he showed that in the instance they were now dis cussing. the Government assumed the functions of the landed proprietors either better to discharge those func tions for the benefit of the people. He did not admit that Parliament did so. He did not admit that the law wa's forced upon Ireland. AIM were the provisions of the law? It began by stating that the Lord-Lieutenants should direct extraordinary presentment sessions for the baronies, that such sessions should be held by the justices, and they should record presentments of such public worksl as they approved. They were required to send up a list of pre sentments of public works, such as they approved, to the Lord-Lieutenant, who forwarded them to the Treasury, and no public work was undertaken except it was first approved by the extraordinary sessions, by the Lord-Lieu tenant, and by the Treasury. Would any one tell him that the structure of that act betrayed any disposition on the part of Parliament to set aside or neglect the landed proprietors of Ireland ? The Lord-Lieutenant was not authorised to act except upon presentments made by the sessions, consisting of the landed proprietors of Ireland— he had no power of acting independently of them. The hon. gentleman quoted some cases, in which he seemed to allege presentments had been extorted from the local parties by influence, and the works executed somewhat against their wishes. The figures would distinctly show that such cases were the exception and not the general rule ; because what were the facts ? By extraordi nary presentment sessions in Ireland, under the Labour Act of 1846, presentments were made amounting in all to 6,647,0001. Let the house remark the import of that. Presentments were made by the landed proprietors for public works to the extent of 6,647,0001. What was the extent of the works executed? The extent executed was 4,460,000/. ; therefore it appeared two millions were presented by parties locally interested in Ireland which were never sanctioned at all. Did they mean to complain of the selection made in the works, which the local parties had already approved, or did they mean to complain that too few of these works had been executed ? At any rate, if it was charged that these works were executed either in defiance of the will or without the will of the landed pro prietors of Ireland, and that the landed proprietors on whom the burden must ultimately fall were set aside, he said, on the contrary, the structure of the act showed the utmost anxiety on the part of Parliament that the landed proprietors should have as much discretion as possible, and that the utmost precautions were taken to prevent their having reason to say that they were set aside, and these charges forced upon them in spite of their own different opinion. (Hear.) He believed he might with confidence refer to the discussion in the Houses of Parliament when the act passed. It was very easy to be wise now after the fact. The famine came on with giant strides, and spread over the land with a rapidity and raged with an intensity which no man could foresee, and the machinery broke down. (Hear, hear.) When Parliament met again they recognised the failure of the machinery, and set about applying remedial measures. No doubt, great mischief had been done, but everybody had been deceived, and everybody had miscalculated. The charge made at the time against the Government was that the act was ham pered with too many restrictions, and that the number of presentments made would be less than it ought to be. If that was the language of the Irish representatives at that time, they had no right to say now that the Government of the day had acted in opposition to their suggestions. For the various reasons which he had stated, he demurred to the proposition made by the hon. member, that any remis sion was due to Ireland on the score of justice. Even if Parliament had been deliberately wrong, he still thought that the hon. gentleman ought to have shown that the Irish representatives had pointed out the right course. But to that point the hon. gentleman had not even addressed himself. He would now refer to the imputation which the honourable gentleman had made against him (the Chancellor of the Exchequer). The honourable gentleman said that if he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) made a promise to give an immediate reply, he ought to keep it. So far he agreed with the hon. gentleman, but when he was told that at the time when he met the deputation in Downing-street he promised to give an answer totally h-re spective of the budget, he could not say that he agreed with him at all, for he stated exactly the reverse. As he could refer to a written record of what passed, he would tell the right hon. gentleman what he did say. Lord Mon teagle stated to him that there had been a conversation in the House of Lords on the night immediately preceding the interview, which would seem to show that the question had been postponed for reasons of departmental conveni ence, and then he wont on to say that the Government had no right to tax the poorest part of the Queen's dominions— namely, Ireland—with reference to any question of surplus or deficiency in the annual income of the State. In reply, he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) stated that the Earl of Aberdeen, in the speech to which Lord Monteagle had referred, merely said that the question was not to depend on the surplus or deficiency of the year. This statement he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) made at the time, and this statement he now repeated. The hon. member, in stating that the answer which he had promised to give, was to be quite irrespective of a surplus, represented him (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) to be out of his senses. When every question connected with fiscal administration was raised, and pressed against from every quarter, the hon. gentleman would have a right to be more severe upon him thad he had been, if he really believed that he had given an immediate answer to a question which was most complex in its character, and which involved five millions of money. The fact was, that he had not only stated that he could not give an immediate answer, but he had detailed the reasons why he could give one. He stated that the question of the consolidated annuities was con nected with the financial condition of the country, and that it was not the intention of the Government to take any steps in the matter without reviewin g the whole of th e fi nanc i al prospects of the State. To - that declaration he still adhered. It was not the intention of the Government to consider the question of the eonsoli dated annuities, except in conjunction with the other great financial questions of the day. This was the 7th of April, and on the 18th it would be his duty, on the part of the Government to lay before the house the whole of the views which her Majesty's ministers entertained on the financial position of the country. He trusted, therefore, that the hon. gentlem an wou ld not consider it disrespectful to him on e nm c e i an n t t e l wthereen present.te r upon justified o w n e ni n d y t further htehen views appearc whichli s c discussion shi theyeo whether h if fuelivsa declined o e t e t the e h k e with respect to the general finances of the country. If the hon. gentleman did not agree with those views, it was open to him to move a vote of censure upon the Govern ment. He had no more at present to say than that, in his opinion, the hon. gentleman who had made this motion had not made out the case which he stated it was his inten tion to prove, namely, a case of wrong and oppression on the part of Parliament and of the Government against Ire land at the period of the famine, and on the ground of which wrong and injustice ho had claimed the remission of two or three millions, not as a matter of equitable con sideration, but upon the basis of strict restitution. To these observations, therefore, he had only to add that he should feel it to be his duty to oppose the motion. Mr. H. HERBERT agreed with the right hon. gentleman in all that he had stated with respect to the Irish Poor law, to which he looked for the regeneration of Ireland. What was complained of was, that while members of that house and the pnblio press were lecturing on the necessity of self-exertion, Parliament, by its legislation, had made it impossible. With respect to the Irish landlords, no one could doubt that they had been guilty of many sins, both of omission awl commission, but at the same time he believed that when the famine came they wore prepared to do their I duty. The light hon. gentleman was perfectly correct in stating that the Government could not initiate any particu lar work at the presentment sessions ; but could he be so ignorant of the state of the country as to believe that the owners of laud, in the midst of a starving population, were really free agents ? (Hear, hear.) They were ,placed in a position, which, he thought, any ing,n of common sense must perceive rendered them—if they were alive to the common feelings of humanity—almost involuntary actors in the performance of the duty which hail b3,3n imposed upon them. It was felt that a pressure must exist on those who had to carry out the act, and this the causes of its failur e . The p• e:,-entai was on e o f ent session s were on more than one o ccas i on scenes of tion, and riot, w hi c h was the n t confusion, intirnida a ural people to unde rs t an d that the result of givi ng th e do but to carry out the magistrates had nothing to give them work. Even intentions of the Legislature, and to the intimida4 rl if the landlords had been insen siblefew who were willine•which was exercised, there were the condition of th to evade the responsibility which them, and Sir C. Treevir fellow -countrymen imposed upon including Lord elyan himself gave a list of landlords, d Lurgan and they made to relieve others,des who lost th e i r li ves i n conse quence of the titution. efforts which Lord J. RUSSELL had hoped, that after the lapse of seven years, something like a dispassionate consideration would have been manifested for the difficulties which be set the executive and every one else in the great and dis tressing trial to which the p-ople of Ireland were sub jected. He was very sorry to find that this was not the prevalent feeling. He thought that a great portion of the statements in the document which had been so much re ferred to, the report made by a committee of the House of Lords, were well founded, and gave an accurate picture of the case. What he thought the fault of the report was, the total omission of the subject which the committee had to consider, namely, the famine; and that it was the duty of every one to mitigate that calamity in the only way they could, by trying to save human life. The report, how ever, seemed but now and then to notice that fact inciden tally, though it was the great subject of their i nq uiry. Errors, no doubt, might have b een com mitted by the_ o Go vernment and others, but the question was, whetherth y did not, in a great degree, arrive at ib persons. It was end proposed, and save the lives of a great number of m otion tion that there was represented for the purposes of this an undertaking by the Government on a system of relief for the Irish people without of this country to in duce the Legislaturedetermine to the consent of the Irish landed g entleman who had just down s t a t e d that the landed proprietors had not a fair discretion on the s ubject, and could not exercise an impartial jud gmen t , an d he added that they were carried away, as the truth was, by DEDICATED TO THE WOMEN OF ENGLAND.
