After all, there is a miserable satisfaction in reflect-
fag that Ireland hoe been just as much disorganised
et ether times as now. For example, the
date of the conniry in the year 1832 was
hiaitely morn than it is while we are
writing. The state of the inland in that year
brought down upon it Lord STANLEY'S coercion bill.
There were one hundred and forty-two persons mur-
dered of all ranks in that year, including several
landlords, several parsons, and the usual number of
bailiffs eat peanuts. And the agitation thee
peevailing was wens than new. The anti-
tithe siltation of that year was far more
formidaffis than the movement got tip by the'
Confederation. Several times the troops and
the peasantry were in *onion. O'CoNtiam. was
then exciting the country with his repeal cry, sweep-

island. The gaols contained many political prisoners.
And the pees, both metropolitan aid provincial, was
subjected to stringent plum:aim by Attorney-
General BLACKBURN& Ws have no hesitation
affirming that even in this year of treason, the
Ireland of 1848 is a safer country to live is than the
Ireland of 1832.
Perhaps the most serious consepence of the recent
outbreak is its effect upon the fates of
O'Beian and MEA3RER, whose coma an no doubt
much prejudiced in the minds of many . persons by
the acts of the peasantry. Political crimes derive
their magnitude from onside:Miens of time end plan.

By this =tail:sent bangs a tale. In the reveladoas

a forest Haulm. It used Co be customary ut ii
the forests far the keepers to retain the neck. sod'
shoulders of the books as perquisites. An order issued
by the Conuniseinnies of Woods some years ago, to
send the entire animal, was obeyed in all
the other forests and parks, bat the noble
ranger of wood stood out manfully
for theprescriptive rights of himself and
keepers have thus retained the necks
tr el of the warrant deer, and the ranger
ems substantial . Lord Catatonia:s
claim to satire use and ocatrel of the residue of
the deer at this forest, &Wasting these killed under
the warmer." has been immodest. The ground on
which he *dummied this eisim was his aliegatiot,, that
" the expense of bereasumg e
mu.ving the stock
of deer has ban defrayed by " The truth of this
statement might have been contested by any board
lees polite than her Majesty's Comma nioners of
Woods ; for it appears from the evidence of Mr.
/Mae that the board have bad to atop his lordship's
timber depredations in WhythwoodForest, committed
is supply food for his deer; and from the evidence of
Mr. Dowses that the keep of one buck is equal to
W keep et eight or tan sheep. Lord Cannon=
mg hire defrayed the expense of !swerving the
deer, bat Ye has done it out of the public purse.
The duties of the knights of the haunch are ob-
viously severe. In common politeness they cannot
do less than eat the venison their sovereign sends
them. This entails upon the LORD MAYOR and the
Archbishop of CAirrusuar the arduous task of con-
suming annually six fat bucks each; Lord Catmint'.
moat digest 18; Lord Moarsru, 19 ; and her
Royal Highness the Ranger of Bushy Park no less
than 20. Out of a humane regard to the health of
these illustrious personages we would respectfully re-
prtsent that they ought to be allowed—nay, com-
manded—to catch their own venison u well
as eat it. To this suggestion we may add
another, which follows it as necessarily as a
corollary
_dose a solved problem. The keepers (ex-
cept in Whychwood Forest) are no longer allowed to
reserve for their own use the necks and shoulders :
why should they be allowed to keep the skins? Oat
at these hides might be manufactured breeches and
ewes wherein the knights of the order might
shams the flying deer."
Orders and decorations have been termed the" cheap
dims elnations." It may be questioned whether this
Asileipliss seeks to the ceder of the haunch. There
are distributed mug the knights of the
order 7NI brim Now, Mr. Downs stebstaine, with a
fair show of imam that the keep of one buck is
equal to the bill at eight or tea amp. "I do not
mean," says Xt. DOWNES, " that you can keep
eight or ten sheep with what would feed one
back, but you require the back to be kept
flu or 'ix years, whereas the sheep are about
a year and Ulf before they yield a return."
Mr. Domes' adds, with a charming naivete, " I
reckon that trr every deer you can keep two sheep,
and you would get gar awes of sheep whilst one
deer is nubs to whelks ; and, in addition to the
busk, ]ore wt have a dee to breed the buck ;so that,
asJoof, Maim beresses eery esperuies food." With
esirsase to the knights of the haunch, we must add
the qualitybe *me, " to those who pay for it."
la Yr. DOWD' estimate Imo account is made of
the &eroded's...Omitted by the deer on the country
meat for with* mead* beaus are annually distri-
buted as lush mossy smug the farmers and proprie-
tors in the vicinity of Whittlewood. Whychwood. and
the New Forest. But leaving this oat of view for
the present and also the fact that the Duke of GRAF-
TON, Lord Caton ILL, and other hereditary rangers,
are allowed an unlimited number of bucks; the 729
bucks annually distributed among her Majesty's corps
of venison eaters, each buck being equivalent to at
least 10 sheep, and a good fat sheep being worth at
least 3L, it is evident that there is every year spud
upon the order 21,8701. As a matter of it
could be wished that the knights of the haunch
those of the Beets were made to wear metallic images
of their distinctive beast instead of swallowing the
real animals.
Be it remembered too that not one of the.. beim
annually presented by the crown to its vent euesiers
is honestly ease by. The crown centimes eselly
make presents of the deer of theroyal forests although
these forests were long ago sold to the public for the
civil list. Bat it seems that since the days when the
deer-stealing expedition of the PERCY into the
DOUGLAS'S woods provoked the lamentable battle of
Chevy Chase, no venison has been thought to have
the right flavour unities it were stolen.
