TM indeed are those who may be inclined to blame
this Government for the step they have taken in plan.
Mg the arch Fenian, at whose door Hes much of the
anarollY and confusion in Ireland, in • snug place
where for some time at lend it will be impossible for
him to exercise that unruly member of his with any
great effect—Me only fault that Is likely to be found
I. that the deg was not taken before. Everybody
floated OW howl of rage and disappointment that
Weed up from the leaders of the Laud League, and it
WM WOO antleigieted that serious consequences might
possibly follow in the immediate vicinity of the gaol
where their very precious leader WU incar-
cerated, but the signs of disapproval and anger evinced
by the man of the Irish people were compoza-
tivell TINY trifling, and showed the justioe of
Mr. Gladatone's statement that the =Oily of the
people wets desirous of giving the new Land Bill a
fair trial. All supporters of doe conesitution whsther
Liberals or what elm will applaud the Premier in his
noble uttersuose at the Guildhall last week—shot
possibly can be more decisive or more completely show
the character of the speaker than one especial sentence
which was greeted by th asissmbted with the
warmest approbation. "I for one well hail with satin.
Medea and delleht any measure of local Government
for Ireland, provide] only that Ito witerat to this one
oouditioo, that it shall not break down or impair the
supremacy of the Imperial Parliament" sub so Mr.
Gladstone widths rest of the Cabinet, emacientionsly
believing it to be • necessary measure for the quietude
and peace of Ireland, and without one atom of the des-
potism or oppertion with which they hove been credited,
have wrested the man who had made himself so promin.
sat in the attempts to destroy the authority of the law.
And not only has the arrest bean generally approved
end defended at home, hut abroad, where p diticiane are
disposed to criticiseus with no kiodly voles and with no
Monet eye, althouili even greater anarchy and still
more seriom disorders be the outcome in the immediate
future, yet it is believed that the movement will be the
beet laths sod, &al thence which is most likely to
remedy the troubles and disaffection of the Motor Isle,
which have tried to the utmost the minds of states nen,
and 10 effectually retarded necessary legislation in
other matters. Let as hope the Home Rulers of all
dudes and degrees of opinion will be led to look on the
situation in • caha and reasonable manner, as those
who might and should be doe happy and prosperous
rublenes of the same Queec, and subservient to the
mine Government for the preservation of peace and
order, as we ourselves are, and not t 3 view in them-
selves en oppressesci an downtrodden people, which theY
have been goaded and driven to believe by such men
as those who are now within the walls of Kilmainham
Gaol.

Redaction of recta all rotted is still the order of the
day la the fdithanda, and yet, as we hear, we have not
reached the lowed point. As the Lincolnshire farmers
are earring their laodlords with notice to leer• 4 Lady
Day neat, it is possible that many thousands of Scree
