cheater separately, will thus be relieved on the Sunday,
or burdened. If twenty-five additional servants are
required in the London office on the Sunday, and twic3
twenty-five can be relieved on that day in the provincial
offices, the change, so far as it extends, is salutary.
Now, if this obvious principle be granted, the ques-
tion is decided at once. Beyond all contradiction,
the present measure is one of relief from Sunday labour
to the department as a whole. But the opponents of
the measure argue thus : Taking the London office by
itself, an addition is proposed to the labours of the Sun-
day: this is a sinful project: and if it be urged, on the
other side, that a tenfold relief will thus be afforded to
the provincial offices, they answer, that this is but doing
evil that good may come. Yet is not this argument capa-
ble of an easy inversion? Are you not, in resisting the pro-
posed relief of the country offices, on the plea of regard
for that of London, doing, in fact, a great evil—not
that a small good may come, but that a small evil may
not come?"
The logic in all this is as clear and incontrover-
tible as it is candid and simple. From all these con-
siderations, he is ultimately induced to enumerate as
the manifest advantages by which this admitted evil
is counterbalanced, the three following :-
1. The cessation of several Sunday cross-posts, by
which the detention of letters in London throughout
that day has been hitherto evaded or obviated: and
this without any addition to the existing number of
mail trains, or other means of transmission, to or from
London on the Sunday.
"2. A great diminution of the former amount ef
letters written and read in the country on that day.
" 3. The entire discontinuance of a second delivery of
letters on Sunday throughout England and Wale 3 : a
measure affecting considerably more than two hundred
towns, and affording direct and imm6diate relief to a
very far larger number of persons."
Setting aside all the ulterior benefits which it is
reasonable to anticipate as accruing from these
holesome innovations—such, for example, as that
which Dr. VAuoihtN hopes, and not unreasonably
hopes to see, namely, "that the unrestricted transmis
sion of letters on the Sunday may eventually be fol-
lowed by an equally general suspension of their
delivery " there is ample cause for self-
gratulation on the part of the most enthu-
siastic sticklers for the observance of the
Sunday in the three obvious and lrgo advantages
before enumerated. Instead of howling at a project
tshich they falsely pretend will superinduce an in-
crease of labour on Sunday, the sanctimonious and
ceremonial upholders of a religion more Hebrew than
Chriztian in its formula, should on the contrary exult
in a measure which truth declares to he another
means for lessening the toils of the people on a day
intended to be a day of rest and adoration.

A rumour that some time since prevailed in Ireland
has just been revived with additional strength. It is
iaid to be the intention of the Government to adopt
the principle of " centralization," and to " itnperialise"
Ireland so far as it may be practicable. The mere
report has excited a v:.st amount of virtuous indigna-
tion, and angry protests are already offered eg4inst
the project.
Whether the statement be authentic cr °then\ i!e.
the proposition is worthy of mature and attentive
consideration, and should not be dismissed as un-

worthy of notice until its relative advantages
and disadvantages be accurately weighed, and

it ba discovered to which side the balance would
really incline. Extraordinary changes have taken
place of late years in the facilities of transit
from one part of the empire to another. Dub
Hn is brought within twelve hours of London,
and the most remote part of Ireland may now
be visited in less time and at a more trifling ex-
pense than Yorkshire or Cornwall could previously
have been reached. The real question to be considered
is, which curse will be most beneficial to the great
majority of the inhabitants of the sister kingdom.
Would the condition of the Irish people be improved
or deteriorated by placing them in every respect on
a footing of equality with the English ? Should
Ireland be rendered really an integral portion of the
British empire, or should a spurious nationality
be preserved, which, while it may be flat-
tering to the pride, is deeply injurious to the
best interests of her children? The question is one
of the deepest importance, and a crude or hasty answer
should not be returned.

The present condition of the country is, unhappily,
but too well known. All classes unite in deploring
the untoward state of affairs. Various causes have
been assigned, and innumerable remedies have been
suggested for the regeneration of that unhappy land.
I " Repeal the Union," is the cry of one party—restore

her Parliament to Ireland, and render her really an
independent nation. We do net coincide in opinion
with those persons, in supposing that such a course
would be really advantageous, but we can under-
stand and respect the feelings by which they
are influenced. They can easily perceive
that any change must be for the better, that their
unfortunate country can scarcely be worse off than
it is at present, and they naturally cry out fur a
change which they conscientiously believe would im-
prove her position. But they are totally mistaken in
the nature of the remedy so urgently required. In
place of weakening, they should endeavour to cement
more closely, and to consolidate the bonds by which
the islands are (we trust) indissolubly united. To
attain a full and perfect equality with this more for-
tunate country, in place of the stupid and unmean-
ing cry of " Ireland for the Irish," why should they
not enter fully and fairly into the competition and
struggle for pro eminence to which their genius, talents,
and we will add, industry would afford them a fair
prospect. They are themselves the chief sufferers
by the exclusive system. Far better that all the offices
of both countries were fully opened for emulation,
and that every person in either island should have a
reasonable chance of gaining even the highest prizes.
They hare seen their countrymen acquire for them-
selves well- merited reputations in every profession.
The names of MARTIN, Of MURPHY, of SAFE, and of
:a host of others, whom it would be invidious to parti-
cularise, are well known in Westminster, and no
prejudice on account of country Las deterred clients
from availing themselves of their well-known abilities.
Why should not similar opportunities be afforded to
every Irishman who felt confidence in himself, and
was prepared to enter into an honourable competi-
.

tion i At present they have the Pour Courts, and a
monopoly of certain petty offices in Ireland. But
how much wider would be the prospect if Westmin-
ster Hall and all the colonies of this mighty empire
were opened to their ambition ! We do not find the
people of Yorkshire complaining because they have
not a separate Parliament, or the men of Kent sigh-
ing fur a restoration of the lleptarchy. " Union
is strength," and the more perfect that union the
greater will be the power of the empire
and the chances of success and prosperity for every
member of the body politic, whether he be a native of
England, of Ireland, or of Scotland.
A.. pamphlet has just appeared,* in which these
views are put forward with singular ability. The
talented writer points out that "if the merely
insular position of Ireland were developed to the
highest extent, the condition of her people would still
be provincial and paltry." It would be so indeed ;
for if the " Ireland-for-the-Irish" cry were adopted
and sanctioned, it could not be -supposed that
" England for the English" would not also be raised.
There should be a full and perfect reciprocity in
every respect, and those who call for it in a limited
degree, and for their own purposes, should not com-
plain or feel surprised if it were carried out to the
fullest extent.
One of the first steps in the right direction, without
which nothing practical could be achieved, is the
amalgamation of the legal professions in both coun-
tries. There can be no adequate reason assigned
why the English barrister or solicitor should not be
entitled to practise in Ireland, and the Irish in
England, whenever occasion should arise. The
highest judicial officers have been selected from the
English bar for the former country. A HART, a
Suansx, and a CAMPBELL have held the Irish
Seals within the last quarter of a century, and
it is only to be regretted that the policy
was not fully carried out, and that a PLuSKET did
not reside in the English Rolls' Court, to which he
was actually appointed. When the most exalted
offices of the profession are thus thrown open, why
should not the minor branches in like manner be
available? Why should a person not be qualified to
practice in a court in which he mar be called upon
to preside—why should he not act as a barrister
where he may be appointed a judge?
The Irish bar have even greater cause of com-
plaint at this narrow•-irinded and impolitic exclu-
sion than their English brethren. No perstia can
, be called to the bar in Ireland until he has teen

duly admitted a member of one of the Inns of
Court, and served a certain number of terms
in this country. His education is in every respect
the same as that of the English barrister; why then
should any absurd distinction be drawn ? If the
Irish barrister be not duly qualified, he cannot hope
for any degree of success in the active competition
he must encounter. We cannot suppose that the
learning and talent of the English bar would shrink
from the friendly contest. It is the interest of the
suitors in both countries that the services of the best
men should be available, and that desideratum would
be attained by the course suggested.
It is not, however, from the English bar that any
opposition is to be feared, the transfer of the Courts
of Equity and Common Law in Ireland to West-
minster would be too manifestly beneficial to suppose
that it would be objected to at this side of St. George's
Channel. It is the foolish provincial spirit in Ireland
that is to be dreaded. Let those, however, who are
actuated by this paltry ambition reflect on the words
of the talented writer to whom we have alluded. Let
them consider that " they condemn their children to
practise in a province where the greatest learning
cannot realise more than a third of the highest Eng-
lish bar income, and where years of professional
labour and ability are rewarded by a chairmanship of
a county—an office with its five hundred a-year,
which a first-class London law clerk would decline."

diately brought under your consideration. The excep-
tional circumstances of recent years have caused a not
inconsiderable deficit in the regular recaipts, and occa-
sioned some extraordinary expenditures. Tu my regret,
an increaao will fad upon the tax-payers. Returning
prosperity in our commerce and industry, renewed acti-
vity in our manufactories—a sure guarantee of a return
of confidence in the public—are already biennia, to
hull the wounds inflicted by the last few years on the
welfare of so many. Aided by the unshaken credit of
Saxony you will make the burdens supp ,rtable.
Public safety, order, the protection of property and of
peaceable industry, are the first duties of every Govern-
ment. They are also the duties of my Government,
My Government will endeavour to perform them by the
firm action of the laws, by salut.ry reforms suitable to
our circumstances, seeking support in the good opinions
of all honest men, and in the conscience of doing what is
right.
"The presiding Minister will communicate to you in
detail what measures have already been taken or are
meditated by my Government.
"Your duties, Gentlemen, are about to commence. I
firmly rely upon your honest co-operation. Lot us not
lose courage, even under trying circumstances, inspired
by the conscience that we seek only the benefit and the
real welfare of the people, and our endettvours cannot
fail to be crowned with success."

The immediate cause of the reduction in the rate of
discount at the Bank of England would appear to be
presented to us in the further decided increase of bullion
and unemployed notes on the one hand, with diminution
of circulation on the other, which occurred last week,
attended by a lessened demand for accoa mutation on
other securities, and a great addition to the account of the
public Treasury. The statement to the 24th ult. gives
the following results compared with the previous return:

Lion, states :
" For some short time there has been increasing
difficulty iu the employment of floating funds. The
deerease in the amount of private securities at the Bank
of England, and the additions exhibited by the returns
to the investments of that establishment in public secu-
rities, are so much additional evidence of the contiemd
depression of the market rate of interest sensibly below
three per cent. This posture of the Bank accounts, com-
bined with the large increase of the total reserve of bel-
lieu during the month—a reserve amounting to
16.040,0001., being nearly the largest amount at any
time in the Bank's possession—very naturally directs d
the attention of the director* to their minimum rate of
interest, and on Thursday, the 22.1 instant, the rate of
3 per cent. per annum, which has been in force since the
21 of November, 1843, was reduced to 24 per cent. per
annum. A nee azure of this kind is certainly quite
justified by the present pasiti .n •of the Bank, and
is perirctly in accordance with the principles of the last
charter. It would be better if the Bank of England
could be relieved from the necessity of coming forward
at a p,riod like the present, to operate by its povvertnl
example upon a state of the Money ma-ket already dis
tirguished by an undo sirable extreme of cheapness. The
directors, however, are entitled to great praise for having
forborne so long to make the present change."
Now, strongly impressed as wo aro with the import-
ance of beeping money at a steady value, and in which
sense «e have not viewed the reduction with anythirg
1 ke unalloyed ssttisfection, we cannot but acquiesce in
she above view of the sae, for we know by experienice
that it is correct. The dir ctors of the Bank of Eeg-
land had no alternative, and if a different policy is to be
troughs about, it must be by an alteration of reel's 1644

in noticing the announcement of the stoppage of the
Ho) al Bank of Australia, the .Scottish Railway Gazate
rays :—" We regret to hare to say that a very large
amount of the debentures of this bank are held in Scot-
land; a:.d that several influential parties who had retired
fr: m the bank will be injured thereby, as the debentures
were issued whilst they were proprietors, and they
are consequently held liable. Extreme measures have
been taken by a company, who hold a large amount of
their securities, against several respectable shareholders
in Edinburgh, who, in turn, have brought actions of
damages egainst the company for the injury they have
sustained by these proceedings."
On referring to a file of the Melbourne papers, we
find that the property held by the batik in the Australian
colonies, estimated at 90,000/., was to have been dis-
posed of by lottery, on the 15th May last. The agent
for the bank at Melbourne states, in his advertisement of
the lottery—
" That the bank, having determined to wind up their
affairs at any sacrifice, it was suggested to the directors
by one of the highest legal authorities in the colony,
that a plan of partition by lot amongst the shareholders,
after the same manner of division of property as adopted
in the High Court of Chancery, should be resorted to;
and this suggestion has now been followed under the best
legal edvice, and-epproved of by the most able and astute
lawyers in the colony."
