tibia am asemeary. Working officers do the duty,
while patronage officers get the lion's share of the
emolument allotted to the establishment. By abolish-
ing the officers at the revenue board., who are
men creatures of patronage, a higher rate of pay could
be afforded to the " efficient officers" who do work,
concurrently with a conaiderable saving to the public.
We shall see by and by how far the ministerial plan
proposes to improve the efficiency ot the establish-
ments which it is intended to cossolidate.

No weeder that, in such a state of things, the
Loan LIZIMOIANT demands a continuation of arbi-
gory powers, and a suspension of the Habeas Corpus
Act. No wonder he tells us that the people
are unreconciled, the rebel chiefs impenitent, and
'meditating many fresh outbreaks. We leave
the population in its normal stab of tinder, and al
mares we are obliged to kev • weight and
"pm it, lon the first spark should ignite all. This,
Ise. we eall the government of Ireland. Half a year
Ilse elapsed mince parliament met ; halls year for con-
'Hennas, and experience, and resolve. Yet parlia-
ment reopen', and we hear nothing save of the
asessity of somewhat altering the area of poor-rate
Isistion, and of keeping the Habeas Corpus seapended.
Not a word of the land or of tenure, of mortgages and
Wain or of the Irish Church, of the Irish University.
Ascendancy is not to be disturbed. Out-door relief is
bin continued without the devising of any made for
madering it possib.e, tolerable, or profitable. And
the wild west of Ireland is to be still fed out of the
Ihsaisqoar without the least attempt to employ those
Lends so se to make the population feed itself. The
political economists condemn out-door relief,
and government persists in it. The political
semomists oot.demn the system of productive
labour, and government abandons the idea of suggest-
it. lu butte cues it follows the advice that is
most expensive and le oat profitable.
We were struck lately by accounts of the famine,
meth akin to our potato famine, in Croatia. The dia-
toms there was easily pre. riga from extending
beyond the one season. The military authorities
saneteired the peasantry, gave them seed of rye and
other corn, and marched them to till the fields
and sow them to the beat of drum.
There war no famine for more than one year in Croatia.
Why is Ireland so much worse cared for than Croatia?
Because the latter is a despotic country, and the
Unser an aristocratic one; and because a military
dam has power over even the agriculture of the
cos ; and because political economists furnish the
prise:ll)les, mad an aristocracy the instruments, of go-
vernment in the other.

ROME, .lAx. 27.
The Capitol and its approaches are while I write

pose of the proclaiming of the 12 deputies of Rome this
evening. For four days the scrutineers have been at
work examining the 250,000 names returned (each
voter having inscribed 12 candidates on his ticket),
and to-night we shall know the result. At Viterbo,
Bonaparte Canino has been returned by 4,500 votes ;
at Trosinone, Sterbini, elected by 3,080 suffrages ; at
Spoleto, the war-minister Cambello, by 6,677 votes.
The number of voters at Bologna is calculated over
19,000, at Foligno 6,000, at Macerates 4,000, Terni
3,040, Perugia 8,400 ; even at Albano, 950 came to
the poll. Comparing the relative populations, Frans*

On the sth of February the Constitnent Assembly
is sure to meet in full force, and until then the fate of
the Pope's future position in these territories cannot
be positively known. But even with foreign inter-
vention it is totally impossible to reinstate him as ab-
solute autocrat here, and his political +raise must
necessarily undergo a very radical modification. lie

THE amalgamation of the boards for managing the
stamp and excise duties has at length been resolved
ea, and this step, according to the statement of minia-
ture, will lead to ayearly oat nig to the public of 70,0004

was this not done long ago T Wby have we for years
paid a numerous baud of commissioners, with
their subordinate establishment in Somerset-house to
wage the stamp duties, and another in Broad.
street to control the excise duties? The total charges
of Windom of the excise duties, in the year sad-
Jeaeory 1848, amounted to 786,2481., of
which a
cooaiderable put consisted of salaries
to °Sens on the establishment, including, of
sewer, the army of excisemen dispersed over
the emiatry. This enormous cost is in itself aa lam
retold ground of ebjectioa to excise duties. And to
that sum must be added 167,7281. for the east of
=Meeks is 'reload. The whole cost of the Stamp-
ethers in the same year was 142,82 W. The ant of
the establishment for stamps sad taxes amounted to
80,9971. ; the poundage to distributors of thumps was
48,4201.; special amities and travelling, 6,9881.
The buildings, and home =puma wet 1,9031.;
seat and tithes, 6021.; law des, 6131.; and
stationery, postage, and arrise, 8,4311.; making
together, with saperaanuation amasses and various
payments, the gross ems we have 11111111iosed. Upea
UM whole, we believe this Mice is sot badly managed,
the proportion which the cost of col eaboa bears to
the gross receipt being 21.1.. 61d. per seat. This
cos tests favourably with the per water for (mika-
dos oldie excise dada, which amounts to 61.75. 11d.
per amt cm the gross receipts.
The expenses of the mews establishment, so far es
the materials ausemible enable us to analyse thus,
are: :—Balaries and allowances, 666,7791.; weighers,
wateluase, 6491.; special services and travelling,
7,3461.; country oaken eased'. duties, 9,001 L ;
tradesmen's bills, &c., 12,74214 rout, rates, tithes,
&c., 7,8621.; law charges, 4,1821. i pods(' and ear-
nage, 8,3281.; and the remainder is composed of sa.
permutation and retired allowances, and other on.
meroespayments which we do not stop to specify. We
await the expo lice to Si made to-night by ministers
for the detail of the elan by which they propose to
oonsolidate these
There is nothing, however, in the duties either
has to perform to prevent the carrying out a
system of economy far greater in amount than that
mentioned by Lord Joan RUSBILL. Of course owe
great souses of expense in the excise arises from the
nature of the duties. Bricks, malt, Parr, soap,
spirits, and sugar, mod severally be made in the
country under the inspeetion of excise Assn. Hope,
too, must be gathered to the same way. This must
we long lead to the abrogation dill the duties of this
dam. Ike post-hens dudes and theme now col-
lected by the exolso-ollee are sore analogous to
stamp duke. But the duties being reerteined, it is
obvious that there is not the slightest @singles for a
