to do with farmers' losses as Free Trade. It would
have been too true, however, to have put into her
MAJESTY'S mouth, that farmers were suffering from
reduced prices, because landlords retained their Pro-
tectionist rentals, and clergymen received tithes cal-
culated on a Protectionist scale ; and much too true
to have added, that their competition for farms under
Free-trade prices, and their hiring them afresh at
Protectionist rents, was a cause of distress quite un-
connected with Free Trade, and which no Govern-
ment could reach or remove.

It is, moreover, unpardonable to talk at this stage
of the discussion of what can be equitably dons for the
farmers ; in other words, what burdens on land can
be taken off, or what tax presses unequally on
them. Is it the House-tax, from which they are
exempted more than any others of her MAJESTY'S sub-
jects ? Is it fire insurance duties, which though
cent. per cent. to other persons, they do not pay at
all ? Is it tolls, which, for manure (part of their
raw material), they also escape ? Is it rates, of
which the towns, by absorbing their over-population,
relieve them so much, end which bid fair to vanish
almost entirely by the safety-valve of emigration ?
No, no. All the world knows full well that farmers
are lightly burdened enough so far as the State is
concerned. Ministers have had time to weigh the
whole subject in the scales of official responsibility.
They might be fcrgiven previous exaggerations and
obstinacy for Opposition and party purposes ; at
least, in such delinquencies, they had the excuse of
general practice ; but they ought not, by mysterious
hints from the Throne, to raise so utterly uselessly
the hopes of the poor farmers, and to irritate, for no
earthly good, the all-powerful Free-traders. We
have always advocated giving fair play to the present
Ministry ; but we certainly think they have hardly
shown fair play on the high vantage ground which
they enjoy. They must expect much more sturdy
treatment from the Free-traders than they would
have experienced had they adopted the only worthy
course which, according to all report 3, was strenu-
ously recommended to them by the real genius of the
Cabinet. We sincerely hope that the miserable
paragraph on which we have commented was neither
Mr. DISRAELI'S composition, nor any sign that. he
who ought to be leader bes capitulated to the Squires
in office.

It could scarcely have been anticipated that the
paragraph in the Royal Speech relating to Irelend
would have been suffered to pass unnoticed, or with-
out full and satisfactory explanations being de-
manded as to the Ministerial intentions with respect
to Ireland. Although the only recommendation was
" the adoption of such a liberal and generous policy
towards Ireland es may encourage and assist her to
rally from the depression in which she has been stink
by the sufferings of late years," there was an allusion
to an "unhappy spirit of insubordination and turbu-
lence" that might naturally alarm the Irish Mem-
bers, and lead to well-founded apprehensions that
coercive measures were in contemplation. That fear
has, however, been completely removed. Nothing
can be more explicit than the declaration of the HOME
SECRETARY, following the statements of the ATTOR-
NEY-GENERAL and the SECRETARY for IRELAND.
The Right Honourable Gentleman said that, " the
meaning
graphinthe QuEEN's Speech wes
both
generalof the paragraph
andp aparticularly general, inasmuch as
the Government did not intend to do anything in re-
spect to Ireland of any sort or kind which could be
construed es contreey to a generous
.and
liberal
policy taken in the Iregest sense of the word; and
particular, inasmuch as it was intended in the
course of the Session, to bring in certain measures of
a liberal and generous policy towards Jeelend, and,
among them, a settlement of the whole relations
between lendlord and tenant, including its that settle-
ment the much-vexed question, which wes now
anxiously discussed in Ireland—compensation for un-
exhausted improvements."
This is indeed satisfactory, no less for that which
is promised to be done, than for that which is to re-
main undone. It is only in cases of urgent and
pressing neceL iity that coercive enactments urn at all
be justified—when the well-disposed and loyal por-
tion of the inhabitants require protection ageinat the
turbulent and disaffected. It is always a dangerous
thing to tamper with the liberties of a nation, either
by superseding the ordinary tribunals, or interfering
with the laws at all times in operation for the repres-
sion end punishment of crime. Outrages of a very
deplorable character may occur ; but if they can be
dealt with by the existing tribunals and the exist-in
laws, they cannot possibly reqe;re or justify new
legislation. An organized and deep-spread con-
spiracy may exist, paralyzing the Executive, and
affording impunity to the most atrocious miscreants
In such a case there may only be a choice of evils, and
Government may be compelled to resort to unconsti-
tutional means--for every restrictive measure is uncoa-
stitutional—in order to avert more serious evils of
another kind. But the horrible murders end agrarian
outrages which have brought so much discredit on
certain counties and districts in Ireland—deplorable
and disgraceful as even the most enthusiastic Fish-
man must acknowledge them to be—may at least be
punished, if they cannot be altogether prevented,
without conferring additional powers on the Govern-
ment, or subjecting the people to fresh restrictions.
The emphatic denial of Mr. Weerome of any such
intention, is therefore very satisfactory, and will,
no doubt have considerable effect in tranquillizing
our too-excitable brethren at the other side of
St. George's Channel.
Bat why it may be asked, if there had been no
such intention, adopt language that could by any
possibility be characterized es an " unnecessary,
uncalled for, end undeserved libel on the people of
Ireland ?" Why express confidence in the assistance
of Paeliament .to restrain, if required, the unhappy
spirit which produces many and aggravates ell the
evils which afflict that portion of her MAJESTY'S
dominions ? The question is perfectly fair, and
requires a clear and unequivocal answer. But that
answer 'can be ersily returned. It may be in the
shape of other interrogatories—Where is the libel ? Is
a nleast
consequently retarded,
there not an unhappy sp;!it of insubordination and
capital, turbulence prevalent in some parts of Ireland? Has
thenot
introductionthat
of prevented,
English at
a
or
the full development of the wonderful tna ural re-

sources of the country. Has it not, therefore, pro-
duced many, and aggravated all the evils afflicting
Ireland ? We fear that there can be neither doubt
nor difficulty as.to the answers to these several ques-
tions, and that they will fully justify Ministers in
putting such language into the mouth of their Royal
Mistress. The only meaning, then, can be, that
while desirous of improving the condition of Ireland,
by the " adoption of a liberal and generous policy,"
they ;,still recognize :with regret "the turbulence
and insubordination" which at the latter end of list
Session rendered necessary a renewal of the Crime
and Outrage Act for another year ; and which, if per-
severed in, they are determined to check by
the most energetic measures. Coupled with
the explanations stave referred to, yob is
a fair and legitimate interpretation. And the clause
may prove beneficial is serving to discourage the
wrong-doers, and to reassure the peaceable and well-
disposed inhabitants and intending settlers of the firm
determination of the Government to adopt stringent
measures, if circumstances should unhappily occur to
render them politic or expedient.
We can, however, refer with even greater pleasure
to the announcement that the whole relations between
landlords and tenants are at length to be placed upon
a satisfactory foundation—that the fertile source of
agrarian outrages, the teterrima oausa, is to be re-
moved. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL of Ireland is fully
competent to deal with this important subject; as a
native of Ulster, a member of the North-Eastern
Bar, the Right Hon. Gentleman has necessarily bad
considerable experience of the working of the
" tenant right." He must be well aware of its ad-
vantsges, and also fully cognizant of anything in the
system requiring modification ; while that which has
hitherto depended on mutual good feeling and na-
tionalbn dicies

subject of statutory enactments. ft will require a
sCidhea,ryto-
render the measure equally beneficoianitleoliatbh andoe
both parties,
landlords and tenants—the owners and occupiers of
the soil. We believe that Mr. NAPIER will adjudi-
cate fairly and impartially between the conflicting

interests—we shall, therefore, await patiently the full
disposed to make every
explanation of the details,

reasonable allowance for the difficulty of the subject,
but at the same time to take nothing on trust, but to
weigh calmly and dispassionately every clause, and
to consider its probable effect on the welfare and
happiness of the people.

711.8 LYING IN STATE. OF THE LATE
DUKE OF WELLINGTON.

Today the hall of Chelsea Hospital, wherein the
mortal rimains of ithe late Duke of Wellington now lie
in state, is thrown open to all corners without privilege
and without favour. Yesterday, by an arrangement of
the Lord Chamberlain's office, in the justice of which
all acquiesced, was set apart for those who by birth or
position were entitled to precede the rest of their fellow-
countrymen iu paying the last solemn honours to the
departed hero. How this idea was carried out, those
who were there yesterday, and who experienced the
crush of a " privileged " crowd, best can tell. Being
desirous that the voice of detraction should be hushed,
so far as possible in connection with the Great National
Ceremonial, we shall say no more on the subject, ex-
cept to express a wish that what occurred yesterday
may serve as a warning to the authorities during the
remainder of the proceedings. If the Lord Ci2amber-
laie's office discovered some 12,000 persons entitled to
the privilege of admission to what was called a
private view"—for we are informed that 11,000
persons passed through yesterday, and there was at
toast 1,000 who were unable to obtain admittance before
five o'clock, sure arc we ~that, unless additional pre-
cautions be taken, the days on which the general public

is admitted will not pass away without some serious
accident. So far as we have yet been able to judge, the
number of those who will pass before the coffin of the
dead Duke, within the next three days, will far sur-
pass anything before heard of in this country. This
morning, the gatos of Chelsea Hospital were besieged
at an early hour with crowds of people, apparently
of all classes, and almost universally dressed in
deep mourning, anxiously waiting for admittance.
At nine o'clock the doors were opened, and the
human stream rushed in, which will continuo to
pour on, hour by hour unceasingly, through the
chamber of mourning. When we left, about 11 o'clock,
the crowd outside had considerably increased—extend-
ing fur away from the chief entrance—hundreds had
gone away despairing of being able to obtain an entrance.
In some places women were carried out fainting and
trampled on, and we again repeat that unless some dif-
ferent arrangements be made, and additional precautions
taken, the ceremonial will not pass away without some
accident,
Since our reporter left we have received the following,
which confirms our apprehensions:—
About 12 o'clock a woman named Bean, residing in
North Cumberland Mews, was crushed to death. Mr.
Duncan, surgeon, of Carnaby-street, Regent-street, was
near at hand, and rendered instant assistance, but pro-
nounced her dead, and the body was taken to the dead
house of Chelsea workhouse. Many persons were
thrown down and trod upon and seriously injured from
the thousands who crowded to procure admission. The
police reported that six other persons were killed, besides
a great number conveyed away on stretchers who have
sustained serious injuries.
