services at the Admiralty could have done. Lord
Rossini. has called him to a higher post than that
which he filled so well before, not only with the

consent and approbation, but it may be said
at the demand of the country. It may be
regretted that he is not returning to the depart-

But as Under-Secretary for India he will seize
the opportunity of employing in the largest field
of usefulness and honour those rare administrativb
faculties and aptitudes which derive half their
strength and all their grace from a constant eleva-
tion of thought and purpose, and an inspiring
enthusiasm for the noblest causes. Of the sue-
oessor to Mr. Goecuzir at the Board of
Trade, it may suffice to observe that Mr. Mow-
SILL is no new candidate for office ; that he has
already served the State meritoriously, and that
had he preferred office to his conscience he would
not have been tempted to resign; that he is re-
spected by all parties in the House as a gentleman
of eminentlyconciliatory and courteous manners and
disposition, of true liberalism, of modest but real
ability. His appointment will, we trust, be ac-
cepted by his countrymen as not only a recogni-
tion of fair personal qualifications, but as a
mark of deference to Ireland from the chief of that
great political party which in a former time won
for Ireland all the civil and religious liberties she
now enjoys.
