las the requital which they thought they might be best '
able to defend, if not with absolute success, at least
with some plausibility, on the score of the Catholic
creed being that of the majority of the people.
Accordingly, the head offices, where Government ap-
pointments in the Green Isle may be heard of and ob-
tained by Irishmen out of place, are now universally
understood to be those of Clarges-street during the
Session of Parliament, and of Detrynane Abbey dur-
ing the recess. Indeed, the Popish-Radical power is
reigning rampant at Dublin Castle. Its vermin are
swarming in every niche and crevice of Irish official
lodgement ; added to which, independently of an Irish
Governor-General just sent out to India, and an Irish
Lord-Commissioner threatened to be inflicted on the
lonian isles, we Englishmen are ruled and ridden at
home bv— -
1. An Irish First Lord of the Treasury—Lord Melbourne.
2. An Irish Secretary for Foreign Affairs—Lord Palmerston.
3. An Irish Lord President of the Council—Lord Lansdowne.
4. An Irish Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests—
Lord Duncannon.
Wherefore, when our merry Milesians sing their inter-
minable

46
First fiower of the earth, and first gem of the sea,"
they arc no longer guilty, it seems, of any extravagant
hyperbole. Nor is canny Scotland much worse off, in
having kept her pawkie eye on " the needfu' consee-
deration mon." The support of her Protestant Pres-
byterian members was not to be counted on in favour
of the Ministerial bargain with the Irish Papists,
without their being permitted to go snacks. Be good
enough to mark, then, the Calednniaii items in this
account. Hear it, England, and burn. You have
1. A Scotch Secretary for your Colonies—Lord Glenelg.
2. A Scotch Speaker for your House of Commons—Mr.
Abercromby.
3. A Scotch First Lord of the Admiralty—Earl Minto.
4. A Scotch Second Lord of the Admiralty—Lord Minto's
brother, Hon. Captain Elliott.
5. A Scotch Third Lord of the Admiralty—his brother-in-law,
Admiral Adam.
6. A Scotch Under Secretary for the Home Department—
Mr. Fox Maule.
7. A Scotch Attorney-General for England—Sir John
Campbell.
8. A Scotch Judge Advocate-General for England—Mr.
Cutlar Fergusson.
9. A Scotch Clerk to the Board of Ordnance—Colonel Leith

Hay.
10. A Scotch Second Lord of the Treasury—Lord Dalmeny.
11. A Scotch Third Lord of the Treasury—Mr. R. Steuart.
12. A Scotch Member of the Board of Control ?—Mr. Stewart
M'Kenzie.
Deduct from this round dozen the two Peers and Cap-
tain Elliott, who are not in the Lower House, and you
have remaining of these political diamonds, the Nine—
alled, as all the world knows, " the Curse of Scot-
land." But there are also not a few Court cards in the
pack, which, having been liberally dealt out by Minis-
ters among their Scottish partners, constitute, upon
the. whole, a reasonably good hand. For example, to
say nothing of Sir Henry Parnell and Dr. Bowring,
two Scotch representatives with good Government ap-
pointments, we have in the Royal Household-
1. A Scotch Lord Steward—the Duke of Argyll, who returns
his county member.
2. A First Scotch Lord of the Bedchamber—the Marquis of
Queensberry.
3. Another Scotch Lord of the Bedchamber—Lord Elphin-
stone.
4. Another Scotch Lord of the Bedchamber—Lord Errol.
5. Another Scotch Lord of the Bedchamber—Lord Falkland.
But, in fact, were we to go through the list of Scotch
Duncans, at the Ordnance ; Scotch Dundases (not
Melvilles)L at the Admiralty ; and Scotch Campbells
everywhere, we should have a catalogue as long as a
Highland pedigree. Here, then, are the abundant
proofs of the Ministry's love of office—of the humi-
liating price they are willing to pay for it—and of
their mean and insulting retaliation upon England for
having rejected them with scorn. To consummate
their degradation, and that of the English people, it
was only necessary that an Irishman should lead them
by the nose in the House of Commons, and that a
Scotchman should be their bottleholder in the Peers—
in O'Connell and Brougham they have things to their
mind. And yet these are the loud professors of con-
ciliation and anti-Repeal ! If England is to be
trampled upon by such rough-riders as these, few things
could be more effectual for repealing the spirit of the
Union, if not its letter. We give our countrymen joy,
both of their release from the cares of State, and also
of the pleasant way in which they are spending their
retirement.—Times.
