31ETRO,POLITA.N POLITICAL
SU:4IIARY.

,Yrdnes of t'r:is morning, in a leading' article on
41P °F r,anada, suggested by Sir F. Head's re-
cc" Puulica''on of the despatches from the Colonial-
c'ucesay" the main recommendation of these dis-
i P,2t.che'. to the general reader is that in which consists
4,4lC'''. faalt. They are a great deal too amusing. They
4 ant the grave conventional tone of State Papers, and
rather to aim at the lively style of an article in a
iLJ..7ew. They are the work of a bold, clever man
11:;11g into a bu,!'mess which is new to him, detecting by
:as mother I."';t, the falseness of his position, and rapidly
and shre:aaily righting it ; but too eager and too little
'sed in the way of public business to follow the best
ect by the safest path, or tender wise counsel ac-
e')rding to official form." Speaking, in another leading
article, of the differences between te King of Hanover
sad the States, the Times remarks as follows :—" These
differences, we learn, grew out of the discontents and
Lictioos intrigues of a few lawyers who, in Hanover, as
near home, pursue agitation for business or for pleasure.
Difference as between his Majesty and his subjects
j vneraliv there is none whatever."

The Morning Chronicle, commenting on the division
which occurred in the Committee of the Commons en
Friday last, upon the question of an advance of Ex-
eacqner bills for the construction of railways in Ireland,
states that the bills are issued upon the credit of the
United Kingdom—not upon that of England alone.
" They are converted into cash," adds our Contempo-
rary., " by any person who chooses to invest his money
in them. The interest is paid, in the first instance, out
,:t. the Consolidated Fund ; it is then capitalised, and
added to the amount of the bills ; and if the data on
-inch the Commissioners' Report is founded, be cor-
rect, the railway itself, when executed, will repay the
original ;OA, as well as the interest chargeable upon it."
Ti:r: .3,lorithlg Herald is once again, as he has fre-
eit%ntly been of late, in a state of exceeding panic, oc-
cesion.al by -Air. Wood's remark last night in the Com-
mans, respecting the fearful vengeance that must await
kust,ia " in the event of her making. war on England.
" We think," quoth our Contemporary, " that the
power of England to inflict fearful vengeance on Rus-
s!a, for such acts of aggression as she may perpetrate at
he suitable time, may be safely questioned. We grant
hat at the present moment, perhaps, Russia may be no
7,4 tch for England. But when she quarrels with this
n entry, she will not trust to her own unaided resources.
Lite Emperor of Russia has long cultivated a secret
anderstanding with the King of the French and the
ident of the United States, and the ultimate object
hat secret understanding is, beyond question: the
version of the power of England. But the Northern
:acrat calculates chiefly, perhaps, on the effects of
:savors throughout the Colonies of England, and on
spread of disaffection in Ireland. Those dissensions
that disaffection are not only hailed, but actively
!sited by Russia." This is as ingenious a mare's-
as was ever yet discovered, even by a Londonderry!
i-e Morning Adveriiser contains a leading article on
t Moriacth's motion far a public grant for Irish
a the course of which our Contemporary ob-
." As a general principle we readily admit that
is infinitely better to let the wants of the community
• supplied by individual or joint-stock enterprise than
the interference of the Government ; but the case of
..larri is peculiar. She is like an individual possessed
immense capabilities, but without means of putting
ein into efficient action. Her exhausted and prostrate
..;lies need a stimulus."
The Morning Post, alluding to the resolutions of the
:feet Committee on the subject of the Post-office,
sieves, " However absurd and inconvenient it may
, that the country correspondence passing through
mlori sbnuld be detained, as that part of it now is
ich al.tives in London on Sunday morning, for thirty-
hears, the continuance of the absurdity anti incon-
nenee may be fairly charged upon the Committee."•
another leading article, our Contemporary affects to
rcastic on the Lord Chancellor, for his defence of
Marriage Act.
