government that could be established. But this
cannot be achieved without some exerticn on our
part. It is not by branding them as aliens, that they
will be taught to submit to a united Government—it
is not by calling them lazy, improvident and idle, that
their industry will be stimulated—it is not by grudg-
ingly supplying the mere support that cannot be
withheld, that we can deserve or will obtain their gra-
titude. Lord JOHN RUSSELL may have learned these
home truths during his sojourn in the Irish metropolis,
he will have an opportunity of considering calmly
and attentively the causes of Irish miseries and dis-
tress during his brief respite from legislative labour
and the strife of party warfare. We believe that he
is actuated by a sincere desire to do all in his power
to ameliorate the condition of the people. He must
not suffer himself to be fettered by narrow views and
prejudices, or believe that the labour of a country
must remain idle and unproductive because there is
a scarcity of bullion—of the mere representative of
capital. As we last week pointed out, the
circulation of Ireland is utterly inadequate to its
population and real wealth, the very lifeblood
of industry is wanting; to supply a currency that will
be sufficient should be his first object, to put the
various sources of wealth in motion should follow.
There are various plans for supplying a perfectly
safe circulating medium based on actual property,
and also of investing that capital beneficially, to which
we shall advert on a future occasion.

Paris, with all its appiil•ent restoration to sobriety,
s, even now, very far from being permanently tran-
quillised. Political passions are still seething in that
great cauldron of revolutions—the hell-broth of revolt
still boils and bubbles, though it may be in a manner
of more subdued sullenness. We marvel not that
such should be the case when we bear in recollection
the variable and inconsistent policies of the three
Governments which have succeeded each other since
the memorable explosion of February. Nor is it a
matter of the smallest astonishment to ourselves that
the coming elections for the representation of the
metropolitan department should be anticipated under
existing circumstances with a certain degree of
anxiety and nervousness.
Can it—and we ask any honest man to answer us—
can it be surprising that France is still a prey to this
sensation of uncertainty, that Paris, in particular, is
still wracked with the febrile pangs of agitation, when
the very atmosphere in which both may be said to
have existed has in the compass of a few brief months
experienced such extraordinary revulsions from one
extremity of the political barometer to the other,? When
at one moment the pulse of the nation has
throbbed at fever heat under the influence of
a complete and universal liberation—and when at
another, the very blood of the community has been
congealed by a panic, its limbs have been frozen, its
heart petrified, and its brain benumbed under the
refrigerating effects of a military dictatorship? When
for the first three months the hold of Government
has been relaxed, so:that its reins have been ultimately
thrown on to the neck of the Republic—and when
during the next three months those reins have been
gathered up by a strong hand, and tightened almost
beyond the limits of endurance ? If extremes of an
equal violence were applied to the physical condition
of man, it is obvious that the result would necessarily
be an appalling disarrangement of his constitution.
If a native of a temperate climate were suddenly
transported to the torrid zone, with the thermometer
standing at ninety-eight Farenheit in the shade, and
were then as suddenly conveyed to the arctic regions
where boiling water thrown from the truck-head of
a whaler is congealed into icicles before it reaches
the deck—we conjecture that some very surprising,
if not absolutely painful, andeven dangerous, changes
would manifest themselves in the action of the
vital organs, in the circulation of the animal
juices, in the process of respiration, or
in that of digestion, in every one, in short, of those
subtle operations of the tissues which constitute the
human frame, and upon the uninterrupted continu-
ance of which operations the health and life of every
creature is immediately dependent. Precisely such
a terrific fluctuation as this has befallen France dur-
ing the past six months of the Republican regime—
fluctuations which have dated their continuance with

the duration of the power of the Provisional Govern-
ment, of the Executive Commission, and of the
present dictatorial Administration. The single
exchange of the conciliatory and benefi-

cent rule of LAMARTINE for the stern
and uncompromising domination of CAVAIGNAC is
sufficient to account for the fury which still smoul-

ders under the superficial calm of French repub-
licanism. It wants only a stamp of a foot, or the
wave of a finger, or the glance of an eye, to elicit

all those passions which are dormant through excess
of rage, or through the dictates of indecision. In
this respect Paris reminds
.one of the volcano in Ice-
land, which is roused into an explosion of eruptive
force by the dropping of a pebble into the silent and
sombre depths of its crater. It remains yet to be
seen whose hand is destined to drop the next pebble
into that tremendous abyss of revolutions.

Whatever may be the consequence of the approaching
election of three representatives for the city of Paris,
we are confident, profoundly confident, as to the ulti-

mate result of the great political movement through-
out France. The final triumph of Moderation is no
longer matter of conjecture. The enemies of Law,
of Order, and of Rational Government may struggle
to attain their Utopia of murder and rapine, and they
will doubtless, at the very earliest opportunity, renew
their insane efforts at bloodshed and spoliation ; but
the end of all their deplorable machinations will

inevitably be the consolidation of that heroic repub-
licanism, that republicanism of Peace, Fraternity, and
Moderation, which scared the Minions of despotism
from the soil of France in the latter days of February,
and planted in lieu of the symbols of royalty the
insignia of a free people. Factions, there unquestion-
tionably are, prepared to convulse the country with

,he throes of their ambition ; but these very factions

must find themselves at last compelled reluctantly to

succumb before the irresistible might of Moderation

In the end we say —for the Republic has yet, without
question, to pass through many crises of terror and
peril before she reaches the epoch of her permanent
tranquillity—the fever which still races in her blood

must be subdued, but before then it will doubtless re.

double the energy of its paroxysms. The Communists

are again beginning to mutter such names as CABET
and RASPAIL ; the Imperialists are again endeavour-
ing to excite the population to rebellion by calling

ror the election of Prince Louis NAPOLEON ; the

noise of all kinds of obscure and daring preparations
are audible, such as yield but alight promise of the

continued preservation of quietude.

We shall listen

vigilantly for the footsteps of the conspirators, or for

,he call of their trumpet.

FIRE IN ST. KATHERINE'S DOCKS.—Loss OF LIFE,

—Last night, shortly before midnight,
a fire, attended
ndad
with great loss of property, happened the
Teazer schooner, lying in St. Katherine's Docks. It
originated in the forecastle part of the vessel, and of, the
alarm every assistance was rendered by the dock watch.
men, who, with the firemen, rendered the most efficient
service. Meanwhile the brigade and West of England
engines were sent for, and arrived in rapid succession;
but through the very valuable assistance early rendered
at its outbreak the fire was confined to the fore part of
the vessel, which was loading for Smyrna, under the
command of Captain Medhurst. One.,of the crew, the
only one on board, was discovered lifeless after the fire
was extinguished, having, it is supposed, fallen asleep in
his berth. lie was dreadfully burned. The cause of
the fire is unknown. The loss is considered to be very
great, but believedlyebe insured.
