DIFFICULTIES OF THE SIEGE.

An interesting description of a difficult operation con-
nected with the siege is given by a German correspon-
dent :—" At midnight on the 25th September I again
accompanied Captain von Scheven, who was pushing his
columns forward upon the open glacis, as a firm footing
was required there before crossing the moat to storm the
place. The French seemed to be aware that in spite of
all their endeavours we were continuing our operations, and
the bullets whistled around us from every direction, as
they knew tolerably well where our men would gather
together and commence their advance. The word of com-
mand, 'Forward,' was whispered, and all the men had to
sally forth from behind the last sheltering breastwork
into the open space, where the bullets were flying about
on every side. ' Forward 'is the whispered command of
Captain von Scheven.
.He leads his men, and they follow
him, each man with his sapper's basket, his spade, and
rifle, with hearts no doubt beating loudly, for
there is hardly one of them who has not left
a wife and children at home, but the
,order is
• Forward.' Basket after basket is placed in position by
the captain himself, and the men creep down behind
them and commence to dig ; the captain alone advances
quietly amidst this hail of I.lullet further, and places the

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Taus DAY.

VIOLENT STEEET OUTRAGE.—Bridget Christopher anc
Elizabeth Daly, well-known to the police, were brought
up at the Westminster Police-court, charged
,with the
following outrage :—Daniel Carter, a police-constable, at
the Victoria Station, said he was going through Chelsea
with his wife, and the prisoner, Christopher, threw half
a pot a beer over his wife. He turned to remonstrate,
when she apologised on her knees, but at this moment the
other one came up with another woman and began to
abuse the prosecutor, who thereupon said he would fetch
a policeman; upon this Daly ,picked up two stones,
handed one to her companion, and with the other struck
the prosecutor in the back of the head, causing him to
bleed profusely and fall ; and while in the act of falling
her companion struck him in the face with a stone.
Christopher also hit the prosecutor in the mouth, and had
it not been for the timely arrival of a constable more
mischief must have been done. They both denied the
charge, but the Magistrate sentenced Daly to hard labour
for two months, the other he remanded for a week.
AN OFT-CONVICTED THIEF.—John Smith, a young man,
was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, at the Marlborough-
street Police-court, with the following robbery. Mr.
Thomas Chilton, eating-house keeper, of No. 43, Great
St. Andrew-street, Seven-dials, said that on the previous
day the prisoner and another man came into his house,
and the other man took a shoulder of mutton of the value
of ss. 6d. out of the window and gave it to the prisoner,
who*wrapped it up in his pocket-handkerchief. He secured
the prisoner but the other man ran away. Mr. Tyrwhitt
asked whether any one present could speak to the pri-
soner's character. Wm. Boden, an officer of the court,
said he had known the prisoner 14 or 15 years, and he was
one of the most successful " dragsmen " (that was persons
who robbed shops) in London. There were numerous
convictions against him. Committed for trial.
THE BOW BANDITTI.—John Buck, aged 19 years, and
Alfred Rook, 18, were brought before Mr. Paget, at the
Thames Police-court, charged with stealing lead from the
roof of a house in Bow Common Lane. The prisoners
belong to a well-known gang of juvenile thieves, called
the Bow Banditti, and only left prison a few days ago.
Rook had been convicted in the name of Edward Dixon
on the 20th of December, 1869, at the Middlesex sessions,
and sentenced to nine months' imprisonment, which
expired on the 19th of last month. Two other convictions
were then recorded against him. Buck was convicted on
the 6th of April, 1869, of three robberies in Bow and
Poplar, and sentenced to 12 months' hard labour. Mr.
Paget committed the prisoners for trial.

IRISH EDUCATION.

A. significant step is being taken with respect to
the Irish systems of education by the Roman
Catholics of Dublin. They are signing a declara-
tion urging that education to be fruitful of good
should be founded on religion. The subscribers
moreover deny that the perpetuation of a mixed
system, or the design of changing Dublin University
more into a mixed college than it is, would satisfy
them. They protest against attempts to force any
education upon their people net based on the
Catholic religion. and they claim as taxpayers a per-
fect educational equality. If these views be sup-
ported, as there is every probability they will be, by
a large number of the Catholics of Ireland, Mr.
Fawcett's scheme for "opening" Trinity College
scholarships and fellowships, will have to be dropped
in the next session, and the question of making the
Catholic University of Ireland a thoroughly sub-
stantial, adequate, and important institute will most
likely be revived with some vigour.

THE KING AND THE REPUBLIC.

The Siede observes that King William now employs the
French journals to make his opinions known. He ad-
dresses a notice to the journals of Rheims, and con-
descends to inform us officially by their means that the
only Government which he recognises in France is the oue
which fell on the 4th of September beneath the stroke of
public indignation and contempt. This declaration does
not surprise us. The King of Prussia does not recognise
the French Republic as a regularly constituted G,.vem-
ment, and he thus obeys an irresistible instinct
of self-preservation, for he knows well, and all
the kings Df Europe know, that the Republi-
can principle is destructive of the monarchical
principle. But he knows, too, or, at all events, he hopes
that, in supporting the fallen regime, he will encourage
among us the growth of divisions and differences. These
alone can secure him the victory. It is our part to secure
his defeat by our union, our devotion, and our sacrifices
for our country.

THE TAMWORTH ACCIDENT.

The pointsman who works alternately with the
man Evans, accused of sending the ill-fated train at
Tamworth into a wrong siding, has, it is said, sent in
his resignation to the :London and North Western
Railway Company, on the ground that he cannot
longer retain the fearful responsibility attaching to
the position he has filled. Twelve hours' work in
succession is declared to be too great a strain upon a
signalman for the duties to be safely performed. The
sad origin of a calamity, the extent of which has not
yet been revealed, there being still a boy supposed to
be missing, and the injuries of the Post-
office clerks having been found more serious
than was at first apprehended, may probably
be alone traceable to the pointsmen having too
arduous labour on their hands, and to one of their
number having become tired or puzzled over his
most important duties. Clearly the signalmen have
had more than a fair quantity of constant watching
and care expected frora them, else why has Evans'
colleague at Tamworth resigned ? Mr. Muntz, M.P.,
writes to the papers advocating that what are known
as " meeting points," that is, points which enable a
train to pass on to another line when moving in the
same direction in which the trains usually travel,
should be abolished on important lines of railway.
He says that when " meeting points" do not
exist a train to be shunted can Qnly enter
a siding after being stopped and backed into it.
While they do exist, railway travellers passing over
them at 40 or 60 miles an hour will be always sub-
ject to be guided to destruction by the momentary
error of a careless or nervous pointsman. It is to be
hoped that the Tamworth accident will lead to a tho-
rough consideration of the railway point and signal
system, and especially to a just and humane regula-
tion as regards watchmens' hours of duty et night
time on a railway possessing such extensive co mum-
nication as the London and North Western.

RUSSIA AND THE WAR.

A correspondent of the Independance Beige, writing
from St. Petersburg, gives the following explanation of
the attitude assumed by the Russian Cabinet in the
Franco-Germanic war, which, he says, is drawn from an
authentic source. " I must begin by stating that the
proclamation of the Republic in France produced a good
effect here, not only on general public opinion, but in
Government circles. The last days of Imperalism had
created a strong feeling of repulsion for
the unjustifiable means which it employed for
deceiving the French nation, and the mendacious
effrontery of the Ministers was so contemptibly burlesque
that the partisans of France lost all hope of interesting
the Emperor Alexander in her fate. The memorable 4th
of September disposed of this grave obstacle. As soon as
serious and honourable men assumed the direction of
affairs it was again possible to speak in favour of France,
and the diplomatic negotiations which Russia at least
had suspended were resumed. You already know that
they are likely to result in a serious attempt at
mediation—but I can give you some idea of
the grounds on which Russia intends to pro-
pose a settlement. The Emperor Alexander is
strongly inclined to plead before triumphant Prussia the
cause of the territorial integrity of France. The Russian
sovereign has a great repugnance to seeing that country
deprived of the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine.' He
holds that it will be quite sufficient guarantee for the
integrity of Germany if the fortresses which make a
strategic base for a probable invasion of the Rhenish
Provinces and the Palatinate are demolished. According
to this programme Prussia should cpntent herself with a
heavy indemnity for the expenses of the war, and the
destruction of all the fortresses of Alsace and
Lorraine. In the Russian Foreign Office it is not
thought possible to obtain such concessions from the con-
queror. In case of a'refusal it is intended to propose the
line of the Vosges as "a new frontier, preserving to France
the strongholds of French Lorraine. Active negotiations
to this effect are going on at the headquarters of the
Prussian King, as at 'Paris. At the same time the Russian
diplomatists are making every exertion to induce the
other neutral Powers to accept their suggestions.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. - Tins DAY.

" TRIPPING UP," AND " CARRYING THE STlCK."—James
Lewis and Jane Lewis, husband and wife, were brought
up bef ore Mr. Tyrwhitt, at the Westminster Police-court,
charged as suspected persons. Sergeant Charles Cole, of
the C division Detectives, said : Last night, about nine
o'clock, I was standing at the corner of Chancery Lane,
Holborn, when I saw the two prisoners, and knowing
them to be thieves I determined on watching them, and
followed them along Holborn and into the Strand, and
saw the female prisoner speak to eleven gentlemen, most
of them elderly, and two of them drunk, the male prisoner
all the time standing behind, near the female prisoner. I
followed them to Craig's Court, the female going up the court
with a gentleman, and afterwards to the Haymarket, when
I told the male prisoner that I §hould take him into cus-
tody, upon which he became very violent, but with assist-
ance I took him and also the female prisoner. After
denying all knowledge of, each other they admitted
they were husband and wife, and I know that
they have been together for years. and come from St.
George's in the East. The system pursued by them is for
the woman to go up to a gentlkunan and rob him, and for
the man to come up, and under the pretence that he is a
detective or her husband make a bother and thus enable
the woman to escape—the practice being called " tripping
up " here, but in Scotland " carrying the stick." They
were committed for a month.

VIOLENT ASSAULT.—Pio Pilvo, a Spanish seaman be-
longing to the ship Nova Pastora,l was charged before
Mr. Paget, at the Thames Police-court, with assaulting
Ann Davis. It appeared the parties had been drinking
together rather freely, and a quarrel took place
between them, in the course of which the pri-
soner kicked the woman severely on the leg and
left a severe contusion upon it. He admitted having
kicked her, and said he did not intend to injure her. The
Captain of the ship to which the prisoner belonged said
a good deal in palliation. Mr. Paget said our laws did
not allow a woman to be ill used and wounded however
bad her moral character, and sentenced the prisoner to
one month's imprisonment, with hard labour.

The Dean of Down writes to the papers to deny
that the clergy of Down and Connor and Dromore
unanimously passed a resolution to commute uncondi-
tionally. _ _

LIFEBOAT SERVICE. —C UTLERCOATS, NORTHUM-
BERLAND, Sept. 18.—Captain Adamson reports that the
lifeboat Palmerston, belonging to the National Lifeboat
Institution and stationed at this place, was launched a
few days since with the assistance of one of the fishing
cables, which had been overtaken by a very heavy gale
from the northward, and which being unable to carry any
canvas was driven ashore stern foremost. Fortunately the
lifeboat was enabled, after a hard struggle, to bring the
endangered boat and crew safely to the land.

THE FRENCH MILITARY SYSTEM.

The rottenness of the military system of France under
the Empire becomes daily more apparent. The Emperor
himself—so we hear—asserts that his generals were very
worthless ; but whit could be expected under a regime
of corrupti such as has prevailed for the last
sixteen years ? Several French generals have long
been known not to be commonly honest la
financial matters, but when those at tE e head of affairs
diverted the public money into illegitimate channels a
little mild embezzlement on the part of subordinates is
not to be wondered at. It is said that—as was
the case in our own army 160 years ago--the
real strength of the army was much less than
that which was set down in the accounts. It is reported
that most of the money paid for substitutes by those who
purchased exemption from the conscription was quietly
transferred to the account of the civil list, the accounts
being so cooked that a detection of the fraud was almost
impossible. What the chief of the state is said
to have done on a large scale was naturally also done by
those of lesser rank. This statement may or may not be
correct, but it is certain that there has been a great deal
of money where it should not be, and a great many
soldiers have not been present where they should be.—

THE REPUBLIC AT LYONS.

The Univers publishes a letter from the Abbe Marie
Gabriel, of the Trappist Monastery of Aiguebelle, dated
September 10, which give some account of the state of the
city of Lyons at that date. The Abbe says :--" I left
Aiguebelle on Monday, the sth of this month, with a newly
converted brother. I Was not aware that the Republic
had been proclaimed at Lyons, where we arrived about 10
o'clock at night. The next day I intended to continue
my journey with the Abbe of the Monastery of Vaise
to attend the general chapter of Montagne. When I
sought to leave the Monastery at Vaise two men, of
repulsive appearance, armed with muskets, stopped me,
exclaiming 'We shall not allow you to remove.' I spoke
to one who was blackened with coal dust, and asked
whether he intended to prevent us from proceeding. His
reply was, `Go on, then; but you must go by the Rue
St. Pierre.' I did not comprehend the meaning of
that direction, and allowed • myself to be taken
where they pleased. The carriage then set off, .
escorted by these two men, who, with violent threats,
insisted upon our proceeding only at a walking
pace, while a yelling crowd surrounded us. In the Rue
St. Pierre we found a post of the National Guard. The
carriage was surrounded, and I was submitted to a ridicu-
lous examination. It was insisted that we were bearing
arms, and having compelled us to alight we were locked
up in the guard-house and our luggage closely examined.
At last we were permitted to leave, but the train by which
we had intended to proceed had gone, and therefore we had
to wait for the next train. About 5 o'clock we returned to
the Croix Rousse, but scarcely had we reached the station
when four men armed with muskets, and two members of
the committee which has assumed the government of the
department of the Rhone, surrounded us, and required tie
to accompany them to the Hotel de Ville. All objections
were useless, and the only answer vouchsafed to my
. declaration that we had already been examined was a
repetition of the command, " Follow us." We then had
to walk from the railway station to the Hotel de Ville like
malefactors in custody in the midst of an enormous
crowd, which applauded our capture and 'hurled incessant
insults at us. When we reached the Place des
Terreaux the uproar was deafening. One of the com-
missaries endeavoured to obtain silence, blit a voice from
the crowd exclaimed, `Let the people express their joy.'
We entered the Hotel de Vile amid the vilest insults,
and were kept for an hour in a corridor, still guarded by
the four armed men. At last the committee thought fit to
grant us a hearing, but we found in the President's lan-
guage cause for regretting even the outcries of the mob.
When a preliminary stage of oaths and imprecations had
passed, which was not very speedily, our affair was seriously
considered. I could wish that all France had been there to
witness the conduct of these dictators of a great French and
Christian city. With the exception of three; who were

THE TERMS OF PEACE.

Mr. Mallet returned on Friday evening at a late
hour from his prolonged visit to the Prussian head-
quarters, whither he had gone, as is believed, with
certain questions and propositions of the English
Government, which amounted to the inquiry
whether Germany would consent to make peace on
lower terms than the cession of Alsace and Lorraine,
and if so, whether it would consent to negotiate
with the existing Government of France. I think
I may venture to say_ that an unconditional ne-
gative was the reply- Without free possession of
Metz and Strasbourg, said M. de Bismarck, G-er
many can never consent to peace. It is whispered, also,
that the great Prussian statesman showed himself
by no means contemptuous of the garrison now
in Paris ; that he frankly admitted a general assault
would be mere madness, and let it be known
that the officers in command had no such

design. Everything reliable that has yet trar.-
spired of the Prussian councils goes to prove that
Von Moltke intends to attack and obtain possession of
two or three forts, from whence Paris may be bombarded,
and that the enormous mass of cavalry accompanying the
forces will be relied upon to keep a clear ground for
the operations designed.—Paris Correspondent of the Tele-
graph.

TAB EASIS OF NEGOTIATIONS.

The Times holds that the fact that negotiations are
opened, that Count Bismarck receives M. Jules Favre
to receive proffered terms of peace, is a sufficient answer
to the random declarations that have been published in
the journals of Berlin. What King William and his.
ChancellOr require, and justly require, is sufficient secu-
rity that any Treaty of Peace whidh may be agreed upon
shall be faithfully observed ; and if a Treaty can be agreed
upon, it is in the power of the Provisional Government to
give them sufficient guarantees until it shall be ratified by
the Constituent Assembly. There is nothing in the past to
induce the conclusion that the German leaders will demand
concessions fraught with litioal dangers to themselves
because they may be gallin(to theivenemies, still less that
they will insist upon them even at the cost of prolonging
the war until Paris is compelled to capitulate. Count
Bismarck enters upon his interview with M. Fevre as
the representative of Germany victorious and trium-
phant. M. Fevre has to speak for France
beaten back upon Paris, making a desperate fight
for the capital, and confessing the justice of being
called upon to pay for the misdeeds of her Government.
Theoake, Germans say with a violent metaphor, has
cast its skin, but preserves its nature. Accepting the
image, it might be retorted that a sufficient cure for the
future lies, not in destroying thelife, but in extracting the
fangs of the dangerous creature ; not in cutting off its
head, but in taking away its destructive power.

FIRES IN THE METROPOLIS.

During last night and this morning up to six o'clock,
five fires took place in different parts of the Metropolis,
one involved the partial destruction of Barnett and Co.'s
tobacco and cigar manufactory, 37, Philpot-street, Com-
mercial-road East. The engines and the London Salvage
Corps were quickly in attendance, and plenty of the
East London Company's water being immediately
obtained, the flames were after considerable trouble
extinguished, but not until the stores and drying-
rooms were burned out, and the rest of, premises seriously
damaged by fiire, heat, &c. The firm was insured in the
Sun Fire-office. Another fire, which at one time
threatened serious consequences, took place in the bed
and mattress manufactory belonging to Mr. P. S.
Poley. No. 36, Clerkenwell-green. It commenced in
the basement, it is supposed from some one having acci-
dentally dropped a lighted fusee whilst attending the
demonstration on the green the previous night. The fire
was extinguished, but not before considerable damage was
done. The other three fires were of minor importance.

THE GOVERNOR OF COLORADO.

A_ distinguished officer—and one, moreover, who
has led a life of singular vicissitude and difficulties
—Colonel Gilpin—appeared before the members of
the British Association at Liverpool on Saturday.
Mr. Hepworth Dixon, when introducing his Excel-
lency to the audience, stated that he had met that
gentleman in the Rocky Mountains some five years
since, and that he had declared that Colonel Gilpin
and Brigham Young were the two most remarkable
men on this planet westward of the Missouri river.
Col. Gilpin had penetrated the great desert of America,
as Colorado was then called, before any Anglo-Saxon
ever dreamt of doing so. When the old Mexican
war came ho conquered the territory which he had
previously discovered, and he was afterwards elected
Governor of the region which owed its foun-
dation to his sagacity and enterprise. The most
memorable act of all, reflecting on Colonel Gilpin's
energy and philanthropy, was that he was the origi-
nal projector, twenty years ago, of the Great Pacific
Railway. The British Association has many advan-
tages, but one of its chief ones is the opportunity it
gives the ordinary world of coming
face to face with men entitled to fame and honour.
Livingstone was never thought anything of, till he told
his experiences before the British Association, and
now we have reason to think we should never have
heard much of Colonel Gilpin were it not for the
occasion afforded for his debut as an essayist this
week at Liverpool. The audience heard more of
this distinguished officer and of his country than we
have space to mention, and some of the troubles he
had to encounter, in establishing rule, and authority,
and civilization in Colorado, were humorous, as well
as interesting in a scientific light. When, for
instance, Mr. Hepworth Dixon visited the
gallant officer at his home in Denver, he
found the only newspaper in the place
printed on yellow sugar paper for want of anything
better. In its pages little information was given,
but announcements in large type of the following
salutary character met the ,eye everywhere :—" The
Smoky Hill-road open. Arrival of two English gen-
tlemen. Now go ahead." That Smoky Hill-road,
Mr. Dixon assured the people of Liverpool on Satur-
day, had already been covered by a railway, which,
ten days ago, was opened from St. Louis to Denver
city, and that was Colonel Gilpin's work.

it and abstain from sending to Engi men
who love her. It is with real regret we find ourselves
again obliged to demand a a mission for Louis Blanc.
Who better than the klmirable orator could speak to the
English people in language worthy of the French Repub-
lic? Holyoake, Odgers, Cramer, all those whose hands
we have pressed in the great popular 'demon-
strations, await the arrival of the great tribune. Louis
Blanc is the friend of the German Republican
refugees who have partaken with us the sorrows of prison
and exile. None better than he can draw together the
Republicans of the two nations, can bring about the pro-
clamation of a German Republic. In the name of the
country, in the name of reason, in the name of the Uni-
versal Republic, it is necessary to send Louis Blanc,
without delay, to Lor don. Fresh hesitations would be
culpable, and would induce us to ask who can object to so
indispensable a measure.

THE TUNSTALL BOILER EXPLOSION.

No further deaths have occurred beyond the two pre-
viously recorded. The inquest was opened yesterday,
Aadwick, the engine tender, said all the boilers were at
tOlb. pressure on Saturday morning. He had looked at the
;auge a minute before the explosion. The ordinary
pressure was 45, and steam blew off at 48. The boiler
which bursted had been repaired two months since, and
',leaned a fortnight ago. James Johnson, foreman, deposed
;hat the floats were in working order ten minutes before
the explosion, and he never had occasion to report a
eakage. Other evidence was given to the effect that the
)oiler could not be pressed above 50, but the engines would
iot work at 40. The bodies were identified, and the
'nquest adjourned.

THE CARE OF THE SICK AND WOUNDED.

The public will learn with satisfaction that there
is nothing approaching maladministration in con-

nection with the National Society for relieving the
sick and wounded on the Continent. Infallible evi-
dence is given on this point by Mr. A. J.
Simmons, manager for the firm of Spiers and
Pond, refreshment contractors. These gentlemen
having been asked to ascertain whether it 'were
practicable for them to co-operate with the
National Society, they sent Mr. Simmons
to Douzy, Balm], and Sedan, in order to be able to
pronounce a decided opinion. Their manager re-
ports that he saw nothing which would justify him
in thinking that the operations of the firm could be
of any material assistance to the Society in minis-
tering to the wants of the sufferers. They seemed to
have almost everything necessary or desirable, and the
medical gentlemen were, he says, untiring in their
devoted and zealous assistance. This assurance, that
the money so generously contributed is not misspent,
cannot but have a beneficial effect, and will encourage
the benevolent to continue to subscribe to the fund. ,

VICTOR HUGO AS AN AUTHOR.
In the year 18M, and upon the night of the 11th

of December, Victor lingo fled for his life from the
authors of the Coup d'Etat in Paris. Since this
eventful date the illustrious exile has lived and
worked in the Channel Islands: In one of his
own poems Victor Hugo says,

"We see the surface, but the life below
The inner soul of all things, who can know ;"
and arguing from this view it might be a difficult
task for us, to attempt to search out traits in the great
novelist's political characteristics which might be
found blameable. To a generous country like Eng-
land it will, perhaps, be sufficient to remember that
he has been very kind ail his life to
Arab children, and that he has been a dis-
tinguished writer. His fame and reputation will be
thought worthy, after an enumeration of his qualities
in these respects alone. But M. Hugo must be ad-
mired in an especial degree, for the pertinacious
manner in which he has striven against his destiny
and banished in thorough earnestness of • labour, the
gloom which has doubtless served to darken eighteen
years of his existence. From the Channel Islands,
principally from Guernsey, there have issued to the
reading world the following works, all the result of
hard toil and thought on the part of the French
exile—" Les Chatiments," "Les Contemplations,"
"La Legend() deS Siecles," " Les Mis6rables,"
" William Shakespeare," "Les Chansons des Rues
et des Bois," "Les Travailleurs de la Mer," and
" L'Homme qui Rit." A man who can in a saddened
retirement set himself to accomplish a series of
famous works like these, is entitled to the
highest respect from his fellow Men.

IRISH FEDERALISM.

The Daily News observes that after all the struggle aria
turmoil that has attended tke discussion of Irish affairs
in recent years, after the adoption of the practical
sentlement which, as we thought, had been achieved by
the anactment of the Irish Church Bill and the Irish Land
Bill, it is rather disheartening to find a new subject of agi-
tation and controversy presented to us in the name of a
largo number of Irishmen, by a person of so much ability
and popularity with the Irish masses as Mr. Butt. A.
remarkable pamphlst which he has just published,
entitled " Irish Federalism : its Meaning, its
" Objects, and its Hopes," submits to the people
of the United Kingdom —we quote the writer's
opening words—"a clear and distinct proposal for a
" new arrangement of the relations of the two
countries, as a substitute for that entered into at the com-
mencement of the present century." This proposal opens
up so many of the gravest political questions, it endeavours
to shake so rudely the Canstitutional system ender which
we live and which has lately borne such generous
fruit for the interests of Ireland, that we cannot
help shrinking from the barren conflicts which its promul-
gation seems to presage. No part of the modern history
of Ireland is so plainly devoid of political fertility and
practical benefit to the people as the reign of O'Connell
and the dominant period of tie Repeal illusion.
The doctrines of that movement are now dead and petri-
fied. Fenianism and the milder forms of Nationalism
repudiate O'Connell's plans, and the recently formed
organisation of Federalists propound a scheme altogether
distinct both from the old Repealers' idea and the Sepa-
ratists' extreme views.
