who shalt most speedily contribute towards the
wants, and alleviate the misery of their suffering
'brethren. Whilst the blessings of GOD are in one
part of the empire averred as the coon of Ogricel-
land distress, a delicimscy of the bounty afsatere
is represented us the mom of the dreadful ea.
lemity that clouds is weetthednees so Inge a
portion of our aiger island. Too laugh awl
too little are salshe, according in these natists,.
productive of injnry, and fling more gall both
tha bitter cop of life. That an ahoudsnee
of the blessings of Providence should be a
curse to the country, false philosophy and mis-
taken policy alone alone would avow. That this
abundance may be detrimental to the system of
government, every one may safely admit; but it
must at the same time be admitted, that such go-
vernment is imperfect. Whether it be vice or
weakness, all must allow that there is something
rotten in the state in which such anomaly exist..
The bad habits of landlords, and the malpractices of
agents and ntiddlemen, are become proverbial in
Ireland. It is high time to reform these abuses.
Let Government be generous, !relent] will be grate-
ful—let it be good, and it will be contented—let it
make the life of the minion and Labourer happy,
and it will not need force to preserve its existence,
nor the arm of power to enforce its lows.

The debates and decisions of the House of Cam-
mans are assuming every day a more interesting
complexion ; but the interest is painful. Time was
when the financial arrangements of Government
were considered merely as they affected the liberty
of the subject ; now they are important u they
touch his comforts ; nay more, his very existence.
It is impossible to conceal, and no one attempts to
deny the fact of national embarrassment ; to get
rid of the burden is impracticable, and all that
could be done by the wisest Legislature is se to
modify and arrange its pressure that it be not abso-
lutely ruinous.

Mach as we, are absorbed with oar own diSeed-
ties, we caanot help turning some thoughts of com-
passion to the lonian islanders, who are, by a pects.
liar phraseology, said to be placed wader ou► pro.
tection. It is somewhat difficult, we confess, is
discern in this case the difference between a pro-
tected and a conquered country. We ►hould like
to know, if now they are protected, how they would
be situated if that protection were withdrawn? We
do not wish to see our country cxtelid its psatecnau
as Rouse in the last days of its glory, to its pro.
consular provinces. But we may ask, whet sort of
Christian protection is thut which punishes a people
fur aiding their oppressed fellow Christians ?
