[MORNING HERALD.]

The state of Ireland is truly disheartening.
It exhibits all the symptoms of a desperate case
—with every now and then a dash of the ludi.
crous. The task of Lord Wellesley seems like
that of a mistress who undertakes to manage two
rival lovers; with the difference of his being in-
finitely the more difficult. It is known how
furiously the jealousy of the Orangemen ex-'
ploded as soon as the gallant Marquis showed
a glimpse of the colours of the rival party.--r
The ferment, however, gradually subsided—ad-
vances were mutually made—the Lord Lieutenant
dined with the repentant Beef-Steak Club, which
had expressed, in ne very civil phrase, the wish
to be rid of lArn—the Orangemen returned the
compliment, by issuing a manifesto against dress-
log the statue and the other mummeries of the
first of July, and, finally, the Lord Lieutenant
has formally thanked them through the medium
of his Secretary. This was too much for the
rival zealots, who have begun to vent their jea,.
lousy, hitherto only in expressions of pettish and
unjust complaint—so much for the hopes of on,
ciliation. The Orange Manifesto, though backed
by the joint influence of the overnment and
the Constituted Authorities, as they may be
called, of the Association, was not completely
successful. Some paradings took place at
Newry, and in the County 'Tyrone, in
which blood .was shed. The hitter, if truly
stated, was a desperate affair., A party of dra-
goons, out on a search for illicit distilleries, were
rfired on by a band of Ribbonmen. The soldiers
jof course returned the fire. Eleven Ribbonmen,
two dragoons, and three horses, were left dead on
the field, and several were seriously wounded. How
far the Ribbonmen are or are not identical with ii-

licit distillers We know not, big it is not unlikely
that the spirit of whiskey had as much to do in this
conflict as that of party. In either case the
thing is lamentable. lad it occurred in Spain,
;it would have figured in a French Bulletin; and
afforded a text for those who moralize orr the
horrors of revoldtioniin hypocritical condolences
with the Spaniards. ft appears that the British
Constitution, strengthened and ratified by the
insurrection and armed Police Acts, can produce
fruit a$ bitter as even the Constitution. of the
Cortes.

rrtstt PRES 3.3
It lie matter of curiosity to consider the changes
of the Beer Bill, which has jest passed through both Houses,
in connection with the arguments on behalf of the freedom of
trade, and the injustice of all controdon operative labour, which
were resorted to for the purpose of getting a majority in favour
of the repeal of the Spitalfields Act. Our Ministers have got
into the habit of refusing every thing to reason ; while they pay
a proper cOmpliment to her principles when they chance to
meet them in the way : they act towards her as some persons do
by religion, who hold themselves loosened from all obedience to
her precepts, while they bow with great sanctity as they pass by
her shrine. Can any act of commercial injustice be more unmea-
sured, than, the requiring a nevi sort of beer to he brewed
by Art of Parliament, and prohibiting the brewed from making
it on the same premises in which their old beer is brewed. If
men are subjected to, the necessity of erecting new premises,
and incurring all the arious other expences attendaw, on a se-
iterate manufactory, must they, not reimburse, themselves by
laying the cost on the price of the article, and levying it, con-
.sequently, on the consumer.? Heavens defend us what, have
the new lights of Political Economy brought us no further
than this I Can this study furnish no better sample of its
progress? But we are told by Lord Bexley, that "this is an
experiment to provide the public with palatable beer, and it
could not be fairly tried if the beer were to be brewed on
the same premises with the present beer, the temptation to
mix them would be so great." Stop a moment. How is this P
Ministers, in matters of reasoning, seem to move in an orbit of
their own. Will the beer thus to be provided for the public be
made more palatable, by reason of the increased expenco of
a second plant, and a double establishment ? Will it re.
ceive any additional relish from this necessary increase of price ?
For either the price of this new beer must be raised to meet the
increased expence, or the quality of the article must be lower-
ed to indemnify, this additional cost. There is- nothing in
either process, that we can see, likely to contribute to the
richness of the wort --nothinglikely to make the commodity more
palatable than heretofore, when it finds its way from the working
tun to the barrel I and as for the temptation to mix the diffe-
rent brewings if carried on upon the same premises, what is
there to counteract the Ingenuity of fraud in the erection of
new' premises ? Must Parliament Violate all' the principles of
free trade, in order to keep the trader to the principles of fair
dealing? If Lord Bexley expects to findan equivalent for this;
in the additionaltitienrh of the' entire butt, his cakurations
must proceed upon other data,. than we can discover, Ile may
say, perhaps, of the Beer Bill, as hi 4 late coadjutor once said
of the whole systeM, that " it works- well ;" if it does, we can
only pay that the pblitical fermentation gives a' very difltrent
result' from the operations' of the mash tttn.
