The aecounts from Ireland are distressing. The
people in some parts of the Nola are, deseiibetl to
be in such destitution, that fears were entertained
within these few days for the. provittou.storee at
Clonmel; mei troops were celled out to intimidete
the wretched multitude. Now we had been ware
of the existence of considerable suffering in remote
(11,,triets of Ireland, and for its unabated continuance
in such quirtere there may hartebeest some excuse,
because of the forlorn state of the country, from
theiesuity number of resident inhabitants above the
'conditions of paupers: but what shall We say to the

it Hot among the most dreadful facts in history, that
the lords of the soil of Ireland should for ages have
witnessed this degraded condition of their serfs,
without (we do not any a wish, but) a serious'and
systematic effort tit any period f the last two cen-
turies, to amend it ? We really do feel thitt Mr.
Martin's Act, for " punishing cruelty to animate,"
would be the species of retribution most applicable
to the conduct of a large proportion of Irish land-
lords towards their pourer tenants, if even their
physical 'treatment be kept in view. But we lose
our time; the offenders are too numerous to be
sildirleil into virtue, and as yet too powerful to be
!comp, fled. Nevertheless, it is not long before " time
and the hour" 'hall bend them to humanity.—Thne%
It is allowed on all hands that the Ministry can,
not hope to conduct the business of the nation to
advantage without throwing out several Member.,
and receiving tut accession of abets skilled in the
ihosincss of the country, and able to defend the
'course they may deem it adviseable to adopt. If
the Atka of Wellington thinks that he can long
withstand the effect produced bye display of int& '
ciency in Parliament, he will soon discover his mill-
take. It is not, Indeed, creditable to his discern•
ment, that he did not, on the first display of the
incapacity of his subalterns, endeavour to remedy
the evil without less of time, to prevent the public
from asioeititing, so generally, incapacity %vitt' his
Cabinet. When delay only adds to difficulty,
paimptit ode in resolution is a proof of wisdom. A

since 1810. There are mighty considerations which now
imperiously press themselves upon our notice. The state

the state of public feeling in France, are all elements in
this gigantic question ; and the country will demand in.

reign to guide us? What object can it be to William IV.

In this last lbws paragraph much is contained.
" What object earl it be to William IV. to have a
troubled and a stormy reign ?" It is a condition of
the confidence reposed by a Sovereign in a Minister,
that the latter shall so take his measures that the
vessel of the Stew may be skilfully conducted. The
Duke has to please Parliament and to please his
master, and if in the former part of his duty he do
not prove successful, the support of the master may
semi be withdrawn frum him. No sensible Monarch
would think of withdrawing his confidence from a
Minister strong in the good opinion of Parliament
and the country, and thus hazard the risk of un-
necessarily compromising the Royal authority;
but he must be a very foolish Monarch oil the
01 her hand, who would think of encumbering him-
self with an Administration, which is powerfully
opposed in Parliament, and is not supported by
public opinion. Let no mum put his trust in Princes.
—At the satnetime we agree with our contemporary
(the Times) in doubting whether it would not
strengthen rather than weaken the Doke of Wel-
lington in the public regard, to show that the great
as they are called, and the High Church
are against him, But let us hear the author of the
pamphlet on this point :
" A remark here presses itself on the attention of all
who observed how the present Ministry is supported and
opposed. A Government without Worm, or even ordinary
powers of detaining, may go on for a considerable time
trusting to the support of the Crown and of the, ca matey,
if it possesses the layour of a p Taller Prince, and has
either the public voice, or a numher of supporter, whose
rank and wealth give therm weight in the community. Air.

Mr. Addington's nerves. The Duke, however, has his

side, what the Duke has nothing of, and Air. Peel less
than nothing—he hail popular favour ;—he fed the pre-
judices of the „multitude, as he pampered those of the
Court ;.—he WAN the champion of the Church, m of the
King. No such chivalry is the Duke's ! Again, he had
an mtro' protector in George 111. No son of that
Monarch can give the same confidence to the Minister of

against them, wonld make the snuggle most peri-
lous. If, instead of Mr. Gonlburn, Lord Effenborough
(himself a host of unpopularity), and Lord Aberdeen
(who has inherited all Mr. Pitt's insolence, with less than
Mr. Addington's capacity), the Cabinet numbered among
its Members, the Pitts, the Foxes, and the Wyndham' of
other days, and were only opposed by such it race as now
compose it, there would he the utmost difficulty in keeping

merset, Richmond, Grafton, Bedford, Portland, Newetstle,

of the great,familica who on that occasion opposed him ;
the names here mentioned rosy wee as a 'aloft of what
a/imposed the minority."
Is it true that if a Cabinet nurnbered among its
Members, all the distinguished men of the day," and
were only opposed by welt a race as now compose
it, there would be the utmost difficulty in keeping
together a body divested of Aristocratic support,
anti resisted by all the great houses of England?"
We have some doubts or this. It strikes
the House of Lords is essentially a beggarly as.
mudy. Tim great Houses named in the above
pesartge, end some others cart afford to be indepen-
dent, but the great body of the Peers cannot afford
to keep a conscience. The House of Lords is pow-
erful only when it unites with the Crown its pine-

is considered thnt the incomes of the whole of 'the
Peerage, rich and poor, from their private estates,

the House of Peers is, of course, necessary to every
Goverement, but purchased it must and always
will be. Were the House to he composed exclu-
sively of rich Noblemen (suet) as many of those in
the ‘Vhig opposition) the government could no
more go on, than it COHN go on with a House of
Peers which did not return * largo proportion of
the House of Commomi. But all speculations. as
to the stability
,of a Ministry in this county are
particularly unsafe, because a Ministry must not
only, as we hays said, possess the confidence of
Parliament, but the regard of the Monarch, anti the
Monarch may be puled by reason or by caprice.
The author of the pamphlet tells its Oat—

the Duke's failures abroad, and the deplorable state of his
Parliamentary campaign at home, much of this suppo•cd
necessity, even during the King's life, had disappeared, and
men had begun to find out that, other qualities were wanted
in a Minister than thorn which any ignorant and obsti.
nate, yet hold individual, possesses equally with his Grace."
