THE ROYAL AMNESTY.
There is no gainsaying the bitter truths contain( d
in the following reflections of a Belfast Liberal
journal. They have been elicited by the agreeable
announcement that her Majesty has been pleased
to grant an unconditional pardon to Mr.' Smith
O'Brien and other political offenders : •
" We have, all over the country (says the Northern
TVh,;g) thousands of young men, with a smattering of
education, labouring under the delusion that they are
. the victims of the foulest oppression, and longing for
some social gathering in which they can give utterance
to their groans and aspirations over a tumbler of whisky
punch. To read the effusions which enliven the dessert
of any national Irish dinner, or other demonstration, in
this country or America, one would imagine that they
were uttered by men who spent their days in weeping
over Erin's wrongs on the banks of streams, and their
nights in planning the assassination en masse of the Bri-
tish Ministry, and thesack of at least of the three capitals
of the united kingdom. After readiag the awful pictures
drawn of the atrocious tyranny of the Central Govern-
ment, one is surprised to see shops open in C, rk or Gal-
way, and scandalised to see a grin on a single Irish face.
After reading the glowing aciounts,given of ancient Ire-
land, of ti e beauty of the women and the valour of
the men, of the humorous and musical talents of the har-
pers, and the legislative ability and 1 as,,on for field sport
of the chieftains, and of the custom which prevailed
of 6 sitting n ider the shadow of the old mountEinsP ' and
being afraid of nobody, one is inclined to feel ashamed
of one's: own age and generation ; and we doubt not that
many sober, sensible, earnest people, with the fire of
action glowing, in them under the smoke of words, ars
of..en 'deluded into the belief that the uttireri of alrthis
rubbish are true men, who feel what they say and would
do what•they threaten. It was this delusion which hut.-
Heil many able, clever men, capable of better 'things,
and worthy of a noble career, ti put themselves at the
head of knaves and enthusiasts who filled the clubs of
1843. To it Messrs. Deify and O'Brien owe to-day the
u 'pleasant reflection that they have wasted the more
valuable portion of their lives in the pur,uit of phan-
toms ; that they have lavished energies which might
have accomplished great results and left behind enno-
bling memories upon a cause of which one now feels
heartily ashamed whose tongue has not been loosened or
his vision clouded by tke national kiverage. Their his-
tory is a sad illustration of the mischief which a single
error of judgment on the part of the ablest or most ener-
getic among us may work, not for themselves only, but
for all those whom their honesty or earnestness had im-
pressed."

[PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD•

I privilege of being goVerned by her own citizens,
without the intervention of those foreign spoilers
who have over treated her as their prey, but never
as their kingdom or their country. What aggra-
vates the misery of such a situation, and makes it
even more intolerable, is the extreme intellectual
cultivation and the high pitch of refinement at-.
tained by the victims' of this cruel Oppression. The
modern Italian is not the degenerate inhabitant of
Greece, bowed down by centuries of oppression
till his only idea of liberty seems to have become
the exchanging one master for another. Nor 'yet
is he absorbed in the pursuits of gain and engaged
in the vain attempt to secure property.' Without
liberty, like the inhabitants of Moldavia and Wal-
lachia, he possesses an intellectual cultivation
second to that of no people in the world, and history
is ever present to his mind, rich in. The most ani-
mated reminiscences of past glory and the most
exciting stimulantsfor future exertion. The Italians
carried municipal government to a point of excel-
lence never attained since the day's of ancient
Greece, and we need only cite the example of Pied-
mont itself to show how easily they can adapt
themselves to a form of governnient of exotic
growth, and found peculiarly difficult to work out
by those countries into which it has been trans-
planted.

Why, then, we ask, as has, been hundreds of
times asked before—why, since Europe admits "that
the internal welfare of one State is no matter of
indifference to its neighbours, and recognises the
doctrine that it cannot afford to view with indif-
ference tho.,3e internal convulsions which tend to
sow disunion between people and Government—why
should Italy alone be deprived of the salutary do>
trine contained in this principle, and be condemned
to try its application only in its sternest and most
re nil,ive form ? We have had interventions every-
where—interventions in Holstein, in Hesse Cassel,
in Baden, in Spain, in Rome, in Hungary—every-
where tending, under the pretence of a restoration
of order, to ulcerate the wounds of faction, and
prepare the way for events still more dangerous
and catastrophes still more fatal. If Italy could
have been saved by intervention she would not be
in her miserable and prostrate state—alive, but
without the power of motion ; a corpse in all but
the most exquisite sensibility to agony, the keenest
appreciation of torture. We have had Austrian
intervention in Naples, Austrian intervention in
the Legations, Austrian intervention in Tuscany,
Austrian intervention in Parma, Austrian govern-
ment in Lombardy and Venice ; and what have all
these interventions brought The King of Naples
feels the.misery he inflicts, and is not secure either
of his throne or of his life from hour to hour. The
Pope has been a fugitive, and but for the presence
of a French garrison—for the certainty that that
garrison would be supported by the full force of
the Empire—would be a fugitive again. The Duke
Parma has perished by ass issination. His wife
has fled from his dominions, and Austria is enter-
ing on a course of tyranny and proscription which
will probably render her return impossible. The
Grand Duke of Tuscany from being the idol has
become the aversion of his people ; and Austria,
from intervening in everybody's concerns, is op-
pressed by a load of debt that seems to threaten
immediate bankruptcy. Such are the fruits of
intervention.

Now suppose for a moment that the great Powers
of Europe were not too great to learn, like ordi-
nary mortals, by experience, what would these things
teach them ? Probably this—that, as meddling
in their neighbours' affairs is good for nobody, so
letting their affairs alone might very likely turn
out to be the best thing for everybody. If Austria
has ruined herself by interfering, the readiest way
to reduce her establishments and recruit her
finances is to give up interference for the future.
If the people of Italy have been driven to revolu-
tionary fury and the monarchs of Italy to intoler-
able tyranny by the presence of foreign troops, the
readiest remedy will be their withdrawal, which
will relieve the Governments from overweening
confidence, and the people from a despair certain
to explode in deeds of violence and blood.- It is
said by. Count Cavour that England and France
are not agreed as to the precautions with which
this inauguration of the era of non-intervention
should be attended. From this we seem justified
in inferring that the Western Powers are agreed
on the principle itself, and, if this be so, differ-
ences of detail ought not to retard, and will not
retard, its application. The matter presses for
decision, for the relations of Piedmont and Aus-
tria have assumed a form in which they cannot
long remain, and by identifying herself with the
Italian question Sardinia has staked her very ex-
istence on its speedy and satisfactory solution.

THE TIPPERARY BANK VICTIMS.

In the Court of Queen's Bench on Saturday the
case of " Cunneen v. Bayley" was tried before the
Chief Justice and a common jury. The plaintiff is
a shopkeeper at Nenagh, county of Tipperary ; the
defendant is a captain in the Lancashire Militia.
On Saturday, the 12th Feb., 1856, the steward of
the regiment gave the plaintiff a cheque for 301.
ss. 10c1. on the Tipperary Bank, the amount being
due to the plaintiff for goods sold and delivered to
the military gentleman. On the Monday follow-
ing the plaintiff presented the cheque for payment,
but was told by Mr. Murray, the cashier of the
bank, that there were no funds to meet it. The
cheque was again presented on Tuesday, but the
same reply was returned. The defendant denying
further liability, the plaintiff brought his action.
The plaintiff was examined. He deposed to having
asked payment for the check on Monday, the 18th
December, and to the refusal to pay. Counsel for
the plaintiff said that there could be no defence to
the action, as it had been proved that the check
was presented on the bank the day following its
issue. Counsel for the defendant was about to ad-
dress the jury for the defendant, when a juror said
he might spare himself the trouble, as they had.
made up their minds on the case. Counsel said the
defence was that payment of the check.was not de-
manded on Monday. ' The Chief-Justice intimated
that he agreed with the jury in the view they took
of the case. (Laughter.) Counsel for the defendant
said that, as the jury had made up their minds, he
would not offer any defence. Tne jury then re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff for 301. ss. 10d.

CITY OF DUBLIN STEAM-PACKET COMPANY.

Tile 56th half-yearly report of this company
shows that the balance to the credit of profit and
loss for the last half-year amounts to 17,2111. 14s 5d ;
out of this the directors recommend a dividend of
24 per cent, free of income tax for the half-year,
after deducting 1 per cent. on the paid-up capital
of the company, as required by the act of Parlia-
ment. With respect to the improved postal com-
munication between England and Ireland the re-
pori, says—

We have bad news for the quarter of a million
of decent people who, last Sunday, enjoyed their
pleasant and wholesome evening in the Parks. The
playing of the military bands on Sunday is to be
discontinued henceforth, and a vast proportion of
the population of London is to be deprived of the
very innocent recreation which they so thoroughly
appreciated. A few airs played on a Sunday after-
noon amongst the budding trees of Kensington-
gardens, or on the green sward of Regent's-park,
have been the signal for powerful remonstrances,
which have been addressed to the Premier from
many quarbrs, and put in a manner so pressing,
that he has felt it necessary to comply with them,
although in contradiction of his own views and
opinions. The fact is, the public opinion of the
country at large appears to disapprove of any en-
croacb meat, however slight, which may be con-
strued into an infraction of the sacredness of Sun-
day, and there is little doubt that the majority of
influential electors of most of our towns and
boroughs are able to bring to bear sufficient in-
fluence upon their repres ntatives to dispose them
to put a stop in London to that which, noised
abroad, gives offence in the country. Thus, pub-
lic opinion, as expressd in the Archbishop of Can-
terbury's letter, rules the disposal:of the Londoner's
Sunday afternoon; and that he may not give offence
to his country cousins, who approve of no music but
the church bells on a Sunday, the Premier is con-
strained to put an end to the Cockney's otherwise in-
offensive pleasure. In vain it is urged that the bands
draw penple from close streets, public-houses, and gin-
palaces to the open air—that the music is not per-
formed during the hours of Divine Service—and
that the attraction, such as it is, intends to induce
rest and health. In vain are urged all these argu-
ments in favour of the boon lately granted to the
people, which appeared to us to go far in solving
an exceedingly difficult question.
We confess our strong impression that, in this
age, when so much is done—and properly done—to
alleviate the incessant toil of the working classes,
by providing them with healthful recreation, no
less objectionable plan could have been devised
than that which the Government had determined
to adopt. _ _

"The directors cannot at present report much progress
towards the completion of arrangements for the improve-
ment in the postal and passenger communication with
London, as contemplated by the act of Parliament passed
last year. A proposal to perform the service between
London and Dublin within 12 hours instead of 14 or 15,
as at present, was made to the Admiralty in accordance
with their views, but was declined, not being acceptable
to the Post-office authorities. It has, however, been
intimated that a service will be defined to meet the re-
quirements of that department, whiehi it is hoped, may
also adequately provide for the convenience of passen-
ger:l. When the expected communication shall have
been received the directors will be prepared, in conjunc-
tion with the London and North-Western and Cheater
and Holyhead Railway Companies; to take their share
in any improved service which may be deemed practic-
able, having due regard to the interests of the proprie-
tors."

The Premier, however, is bound to respect the
influences which have been brought to bear upon
him, but we think, even now, that the question is
not decided by his present concession, for it re-
mains to be seen how far the two hundred and
fifty-eight thousand persons who last Sunday were
in the Parks may endeavour to have their own
way. Londoners may not unlikely urge their wish
themselves to determine what shall be done in
London. However this may be, we earnestly coun-
sel moderation on both sides. If this be exercised,
a fair settlement of the difference may be obtained.
If not, a dispute, of which the dangerous character
may easily be aggravated, may be brought about,
and threaten the public tranquillity with conflicts
which may lead to the most deplorable results.
