LONDO.Y, SATURDAY, JANUARY 18.

THE Quarterly Reririn for January offers its
readers a reply to the question, " What shall we
"do for 'rebut(' r After the open breach be-
tween the Quarterly and Lord DERBY'S Govern-
ment on the question of Reform, we must not too
hastily make Ministers responsible for what it may
hay on Ireland ; but its article, which would be
lamentably defective as a manifesto, has an
interest as the calm utterance of a thought-
ful but thoroughly Tory mind applying itself
to a state of things which might well excuse
some departure from party traditions. The
greater part of the article is a statement of
what should not be done for Ireland—indeed,
the /46.in:es chief object appears to have been to
oppose and undo the effect of Mr. GLanwroNt's
spe viies and Mr. GOLDWIN SNITki'S Letters to the
JAtily Yrirs. The Review assumes that Ireland—
meaning, as wo all mean, Catholic and Celtic
Ireland—is Fenian in sympathy, if not in act ;
and its discontent beyond the moans of legisla-
tive remedy. He virtually gives up the hope of
governing Ireland with the consent and attach-
ment of its people when he says that "it is on
" the Saxon and Protestant, rather than on the
" Celtic and Catholic elements of Irish popula-
" tion, that the hope of a peaceful and willing
" adherence to the union between the two'
" islands rests ;" and that whatever we
do, we must not alienate " the garrison
"to whom in the last resort we must
"look for the maintenance of the connexion
"of Ireland with Great Britain." If this be
so, if the groat body of the Irish population is
to be regarded not only as actually discontented,
but permanently and hopelessly hostile, while the
smaller portion is to have its wishes consulted,
there is an end of the matter ; the pretence
of keeping up the forms of constitutional
and representative government is a mockery,
and Mr. Inseam.; need not trouble himself about
a new Irish Reform 13111. A writer who maintains

propositions like these really telLsus nothing more

:when he formally "rejects the idea of governing
" Ireland by Irish opinion." if ho is right, there
is nothing left for us but to govern Ireland as
Russia governs Poland. But even despotism
has sometimes done for backward countries
that which they have not been able to
do for themselves. The principal subjects
which have been discussed in connexion with the
improvement of the condition of Ireland are its
Church Establishment, Emigration, and the Land
Laws. All these topics are examined by the
Reviewer, and he finds there is nothing substantial
in the complaints of the Irish. As to the Church,
he finds that a large majority of the Irish members
of the House of Commons—and where else should
he look for a representation of Irish opinion —WO
for upholding it. As for emigration, which some
say is draining Ireland of its life blood, it does not
go on fast enough for him ; and the Land Laws are
what they should be. There is only one thing which
the Government can do for Ireland in the way of
removing a practical grievance : it is to take the
Roman Catholic priesthood into its pay. An
effort should be made " draw them within the
" circle of the legitimate influence of the Govern-
" ment." It has been said they would not take
money at its hands. But the Quarterly
Rericw " feels confident that if money
" were really given, it would and even must be
" accepted." This is the latest compound re-
medy for Ireland's ills issued from the Tory dis-
pensary. The old, hateful system of Ascendancy
is to be reasserted and restored, Ind the un-
righteousness of the Established Church to be
maintained, while the Romish priesthood are to be
bribed to tell their people—not that such en
arrangement is jest and right, for that is quite
beside the question—but that it is their duty to
accept it and be thankful. Surely Mr. DISRAELI
cannot produce any proposition more futile than
this.

SCARrELY a day passes without somebody writ-
ing to the newspapers complaining that his name
is being improperly used in appeals to the public
for money. As a director, trustee, patron, presi-
dent, committeeman, or something of the sort,
everybody whose name is good for anything is in
perpetual danger of having it employed without
his sanction. It is well when such an occurrence

comes to the knowledge of the persons inte-
rested, so that its repetition may be prevented ;
but this is not always the case. There is reason
to believe that a very grave and reverend
name is just now being sadly abused in
moat of the countries of Europe. At Paris there
