IRELAND.

DUBLIN, THURSDAY.
GALWAY AND AMERICA.
Captain Kerr, the Government agent, arrived in
Galway yesterday, from Queenstown, to inspect the
Prince Albert steamer, previous to her sailing for
New York. This was the first inspection of a vessel
of the Lever line by the Government emigration
agent. With respect to the Prince Albert's passen-
gers and freight, the Vindicator gives the following
information :
" There were 208 first, second, and third-class booked at
two o'clock p.m. this day, and there are four trains yet to
arrive before the sailing of the ship-4 p.m., 10 p.m., 12
night, and 12.20 a.m. to-morrow—so that we may very safely
estimate the number she will carry at at least 250. With re-
spect to the cargo, there was put on board of her yesterday
and to-day 348 cases and hogsheads of manufactured goods
of a valuable description, the larger portion being Irish
linens and other productions of native manufacture from
the north of Ireland, besides very large quantities of hard-
ware from Scotland, in hogsheads weighing 16 to 13 cwt.
each. The passengers are from every part of the kingdom,
bnt the great proportion of the Irish are from the province
of Ulster, next to that from Leinster and Connaught, and
comparatively few from Munster, whose population of an
emigrating tendency seems to have been completely drained
out by the exodus of the famine years, and which now, for
the consolation of our Limerick . grumblers and growlers,
present no resources whatever either in passengers or goods
traffic to warrant any sort of direct steam eommunication
between that portion of Ireland and America."
THE MURDER OF MR. R. ELY.
• There is yet no direct clue to the assassin, but
the authorities are said to be using every exertion
to gain such information as may lead to detection.
The correspondent of Saunders's .Newsletter writes
as follows :
ROSCREA, Wednesday.—The murder of this kind-
hearted and respected gentleman has spread among all
ranks a strong feeling of horror. The pe;vosaasntarykiinn
dh ifsrioeNnv nd
immediate neighbourhood, to whom he
and a good employer, mourn his loss, and express, in strong
terms their deep feelings of gratitude for his many benevo-
lent acts. They know the hand which slew their benefactor
and friend. They talk openly and broadly of the
not - conceal
brutal atrocity ; they do
nameattem pt
of theto cowardly
their knowledge of the
assassin ; still they have no dread or horror of the fearful
crime ; they are corrupted by the familiarity of such atro-
cities, and they content themselves with expressions of
lamentation and regret at the loss which they have sus-
tained by the death of Mr. Ely. .T,, ho assassin,.
although
well known, is permitted to roam at iarge no hand is out-
stretched to secure him, and in every cottage he is certain
of protection and shelter ; and the peasantry do not evince,
notwithstanding Mr. Ely's popularity, the slighteit wil-
lingness to aid the officers of justice' te' apprehend the
assassin. The authorities continue to pursue their in^,ui-
ries privately, and are taking every possible measure for the
capture of the murderer, but up to the present their best
efforts have been fruitless. No further facts of impel to • c
in addition to those already published have since transpired,
but the following description of the suspected assassin and
other particulars concerning him is taken from last night's
Police Gazette, or Hue-and-Cry :
" Queen's County.—Description of James Delany, na-
tive of Rossbaim, who stands charged with having, on the
night of the sth November, 1858, in the barony of Clon-
donvh, parish of Kyle, fired at and dangerously wounded
Richard Ely, Esq., in the left arm, from the effects of which
he died on the 6th : —Thirty years of age, five feet seven
inches high, slight make, sallow complexion, thin face,
regular nose, dark brown hair ; wore a gray tweed frock
coat, gray tweed trousers, gray tweed vest. He had a
piece of cord sewed on the right leg of trousers over the
knee ;
is slightly pockpitted. Is unable to state what kind
of hat or cap he is likely to wear, as the one he had on
fell off after discharging the shot. This man is likely to
emigrate from either Cork, Galway, Waterford, or

as regards the architectural beauty of the structures them-
selves, or the varied and hitherto unattempted combinations
within, will be found to be wholly without parallel in the
Kingdom.

M. DE MONTALEMBERT has never given more
signal evidence of his genius, of his piety, of his
eloquence, than that abundantly afforded in the
remarkable publication for which he is about to
undergo in France the glory of a State prosecution.
And the genius, piety, and eloquence of M. DE
MONTALEMBERT were already cordially recognised
all over Christendom. His reputation is not of
yesterday. He has long assumed high rank among
the chiefs of his generation. Though but now in
its meridian, his fair fame dates back to its origin
more than a quarter of a century ago, when he had
but just emerged from being a stripling. During
this interval of five and twenty years he has risen
to the importance of one of the most honoured of
the intellectual notabilities of his time and coun-
try. Beyond this he has assumed to himself a far
higher dignity, that befitting ®ne exercising a
great moral influence over his contemporaries. The
light of his knowledge has been kindled from the
lamp of the sanctuary. His religious zeal is pro-
found and intense, but it has none of the animus
of fanaticism. Without the smallest particle of
bigotry in his nature, he is one of the staunchest
of the great living lay champions of Roman Catho-

licism. Since the demise of CHATEAUBRIAND,
since the secession of LA3IMENNAIS—France, " the

eldest daughter" of that Church, has had no son w hose
fervour and whose resplendent abilities have shed
more lustre in these times upon the cause of the Pon-
tificate. And now, after the protracted silence of
nearly one entire decade—a silence consequent
upon the overthrow of the parliamentary tribune,
and the restrictions imposed upon the public press
in his native land M. DE MONTALEMBERT has

raised his voice once more in ringing and
trumpet-like reverberations in this famous argument
of his in the Correspondant. For this manly utter-
ance he is about to be arraigned at the bar of
France. The charge against him, of course, is
nothing less than that of leze majeste. His guilt,

accordingly as we may view it, is something more or

less than misprision of treason. And certainly, as
he advances to his trial, we may say of him what
Lord' MACAULAY has said of WARREN HASTINGS,
the Proconsul--he looks like a great and not like a
badman. The judicial examination in France of
this latest of the literary effusions of MONTALEM-
BERT is now upon the eve of its commencement.

Meanwhile the publication itself is carefully sup-
pressed upon the other side of the Channel.
It will Iser-tt-tgd thEre none the less eagerly—it
will, rather than that, be devoured far
and wide 'with all the more avidity by the more
intelligent of the population. The official
taboo under which it is placed gives it more
authority with the masses than could possibly
have been imparted to it by the timbre of the esta-
blished Government. Stolen apples are proverbially
the sweetest. No works are more greedily sought
after than those numbered in the index expurga-
torius. If you want even an indifferent drama to be
enormously successful, get it denied the chance of
being damnedby a formal prohibition under the hand
of the Licenser.

Meantime, at Brussels and at London, be
sure this suppressed pamphlet, by M. de moN_
TALEMBERT, is running by thousands through the
webwork of the tapes and cylinders of the printing
press. Read it—and what do you find in this per-
nicious and dangerous publication ? What but
a glowing and rhetorical panegyric upon our Eng-
lish institutions ! A statesmanlike tribute from

one of the most gifted and pure-minded of all living
Catholic laymen—an earnest, manly, genial tribute
to the
.organisation and the influences of our free
and enlightened Government. M. de MONTALEM-
BERT is an orator whose lips are padlocked. He
crosses the Channel, Ile lands on our shores, lie

enters the House of Commons, and there listens to
a debate within its walls upon the Indian mutiny—
a discussion upon the Sepoy revolt, under the
rooftree of the British Parliament. His whole
soul kindles with admiration. It is the war-
horse stirred by the sound of the trumpet. MON-
TALEmBERT—denied the possibility of speaking—
writes. His language, not unnaturally under
the circumstances, is the language of enthusiasm.
He remembers, doubtless, how many great orators
are dumb, prematurely, besides himself--dumb,
though still living : how many lips are denied the
privilege of their old golden utterance—the lips of
THIERS, of GUIZOT, of HUGO, of LAMARTINE. He
thinks possibly of CORMENIN with the blank page
before him—the pencil of TIMoN useless in his
hand—no more eloquent contemporaries to delineate.
He contrasts the free outspeaking to which he has
just listened down at Westminster with the ominous
and oppressive silence to which he is returning.
Pens, ink, paper, lying within his reach as he me-
ditates, he writes accordingly. And for so writing
the dumb orator is now about to be impeached as
treasonous. He has been caught in the act of
strewing flowers, not upon the tomb of NERO,
but upon the grave of Parliamentary freedom.
Monstrous ! Down with him ! Who among all
those 36,000,000 of Frenchmen has not a stone to
hurl at the traitorous head of MONTALEMBERT ?

The BRIGHT view of war is certainly not the
bright side of it. Indeed, no one can :doubt that,
dark as its natural colours are, Mr. BRIGHT makes
them darker than those of nature. The great orator
of the people is, unfortunately, a special pleader,
not a philosopher. We have sometimes thought
what a fine pair of orators might be compounded
out of him and Mr. GLADSTONE. If some MEDEA
could take them to pieces, put them into her en-
chantress's cauldron, and bring them forth again
—Mr. BRIGHT endued with a portion of Mr. GLAD-
STONE'S over-sublety in distinction, which keeps
him for ever hesitating and doubting, Mr. GLAD-
STONE with a portion of the sturdy Quaker's un-
doubting confidence in his own conclusions, leaving
to each their peculiar modes of illustration and ex-
pression, they might both of them tickle our ears
as well as they now do, and might still relieve the
tedium of senatorial debates, but they would speak
much more to the purpose. We all of us, taking
them as they are, are glad enough to enjoy a little
of the sparkling and power of their genius, but what
a gain would it be could we also trust to their
judgment. On the whole, and for Statesmen, they
are both, we believo, remarkably honest men ; but
pre-eminent subtlety of thought too often misleads
one, and overweening self-confidence the other, till
we are compelled, when they sit down, to ask
whether or not we have been yielding to an illusion.
As to the succession duty calculation, or miscal-
culation, be it which it may, we confess we cannot
find much fault with our Brummagem orator. Mr.
GLADSTONE devised the arrangement, and we have
little doubt it would puzzle all the actuaries is
England to do it justice. But his statement of the
cost of our wars was the most reckless we have
seen. Our orator himself acknowledged that he,
with his broad shoulders, succumbed beneath the
attempt to imagine the total, as well he might.
£2,ooo,ooo,ooo—why none of us ever did or could
conceive of a single million, and that sum multiplied
two thousand times must be left to calculators only,
for no imagination can reach it. Now we shall not
attempt to verify Mr. BRIGIIT'S calculation on this
point any more than on the other. He may make
it, if he pleases, ten or twenty times the amount.
He may compute the amount actually disbursed
only, he may add single interest or compound in-
terest, just as he likes, but we must leave him and
his calculations to their fate. No one would read
them, and we therefore may comfortably feel ab-
solved from the inquiry—How did he go to work to
make it so much ?

What all our readers know is, that some enor•
mous fallacy lurks under such computations. They
may not see where exactly, yet they are sure of it.
They perhaps can no more detect the trick played
off on their ears than spectators can detect Herr
FRIKELL'S illusion of another sense, yet that there
is illusion they arc quite confident. Not to go back
to the great wars at the close of last century and
the beginning of this, which so few of our readers
can now remember, but which, on `Zr. BRIGHT'S
theory, ought to have left the nation in beg-
gary, the illusion will vanish if we
do but steadily look at the broad facts of the
late war. We spent, say, in round numbers, eighty
or a hundred millions on it. Was all this, as some
declaimers tell us, as good as thrown into the sea ?
The enormous waste, through mismanagement, we
as well as others exposed at the time. A waste
which seems inseparable from all Government

management, whether in peace or in war--insepar-
able, perhaps, even from all things managed by
boards and committees, and in which the disbur-
sers of large amounts have not a personal interest
in the administration of them. But was the nation
poorer at the conclusion of the war ? Speculators
raised the prices of many things to reap their
merited reward; bad harvests in our own or in other
countries raised the price of food, but not in this
country only, for America—which was far enough
removed from the seat of war—suffered as much as
we on that score ; but all the time of the war our
exports, even exclusive of military supplies, went
on increasing. Our trade suffered no injury, to all
appearance, from the war, but augmented regularly
till the great panic at the close of last year. Now
to whatever cause we attribute that panic, whether
to bad currency arrangements, or to reckless bank-
ing, or to over-speculation, or, as is most correct, to
all, no one attributes it to the war.

But look more closely at thel- e war expen-
diture. Where was it chiefly ma ? A small
proportion of it on purchasing supplies in the East,
but by very far the greater portion of it in employ-
ing labour at home. Even what was spent in the
East returned in part to us, through the natives
purchasing our manufactures with our own money,
eo that ultimately we gave them cotton or Bir-
mingham goods for their bullocks, horses, vege-
tables, and labour ; but the enormous amounts
disbursed in army clothing and equipments, in our
dockyards, in our arsenals, in supplies of all kinds,
were all spent in employing English labour. Our
mechanics, our textile fabric manufacturers, our
very farmers and millers and bakers pocketed most
of the money. True, we many of us grumbled
under a heavy, because iniquitously adjusted income
tax ; still though we were the poorer for parting
with the money, the nation was not the poorer.
There is a vast difference between money changing
hands in the nation, and capital going out of the
nation. In the case of railways what immense
sums have been sunk—sunk we call it—we should
rather say circulated. It went into the hands of
navvies, iron manufacturers, engine-makers, and a
pretty good share into the hands of land-owners
and lawyers. But none of these parties hid it in a
napkin. Most of it was purchasing immediately
all kinds of commodities imported by our merchants,
or made by native industry. Individuals suffered
sadly, but the nation gained the railways certainly,
and gained a larger consumption of articles used
by the million.
Mr. BRIGHT Will of course deny that, if we
