SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM TIIE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—Among the Parliamentary business on the
paper for this evening, Mr. Ross will move the House of
Commons for the production of copies of the corre"
spondence which has passed between the Irish Govern-
ment, and any other parties, relative to the re•instate-
ment of Mr. O'Driscoll in the commission of the
peace in that country. As the removal of Mr'
O'Driscoll from the magistracy was caused by
conduct in that gentleman which drew down
upon him no ordinary portion of justly-merited
censure and reproach, it is only right that the Govern-
ment which has restored him should have an opportw
nity of showing—either that the imputations cast uPnn
Mr. O'Driscoll were not justified by the facts ' • °I.
that the conduct charged against him does not dis-
qualify him for the office of a magistrate, however
much it may derogate from his position as a "gentlema°,
or his reputation for humanity. The present state 01
public feeling in Ireland is such as to render care an',
caution, in the selection of persons for the office of
magistrates, essentially necessary on the part of the
Government. Many magistrates, in whom the great mass
of the people had confidence, have been removed froth
the commission for taking part in meetings of the Ref'c
Association. The number of magistrates for whose adiva:
nistration of the laws the Irish peasantry cherished respect:
has been thus greatly diminished ; and their dependency
on the impartiality of the judicial bench has he e,
to this extent shaken. It was, therefore, no
due to the people, whose interest in the character
of the magistrates is immense, than it was noes:
sary for the maintenance of social order and cheat
ful obedience to the laws—both which the Governmen
is bound to promote, and ought, by its administration,P
aim to secure—that the magistrates' bench should o!
free from gross instances of indecorum. No apPiini t
ment having a tendency to strengthen and c'tels..
dissatisfaction with the constitution of the o'neg-to
tracy among the Irish people, ought at any tin' bat,
be allowed to pass unquestioned in Parliament ;„cra-
under present circumstances, it is especially itn'c'ont
tire that Ministers should be called to a strict ac nbt
for any marked departure from the rules which
1°_,(101
to regulate the creation or restoration of
magistrates. Ministers have shown themselves Li
mined to supersede political opponents for attendlD:t

diminished the public confidence in he an
tration of justice. In many districts the Bench
is exclusively occupied by partizans of the Governinen!'
which has placed itself in antagonism with 0:
sympathies of the people. In such a state of thing,
as this, could anything be more impolitic—more calcnt
hated to rouse public indignation against the Governinen!
and to engender suspicion among the peasantry, as to t'w_
impartiality of the administration of the laws—than i'
see an individual replaced on the Bench, whose recen't
removal from it had been provoked by his own outrnt
upon the laws, and his intemperate attack upon
bench of magistrates, who had, with great reluctalle
convicted him of that savage outrage? Yet such is
transaction to which the attention of Parliament will v

called this evening. ec/1
STANDARD.—Mr. Gladstone's admirable sr ,e 5
upon the second reading of the Railway. Bill,
little to be said upon the subject. The principle or "
question lies in a very narrow compass. A railwg.„;
company comes to Parliament for a Bill—obtains it.„,
displaces all other means of travelling upon the sal;,,
line ; and then proceeds to make exactly such cbargio
and dispense such accommodation as it thistle
will afford it the greatest amount of profit. This 15 he
natural course of things, and the natural remedy for °the
evil arising out of it is competition. Accordingly, 0
rates being thought too high, or the accornmodat':9r,
insufficient, another railway company claims fotoel
liament permission to lay down another railway Pra' fe
to the former. Oh no, cry the elder company, we
rep
invested our money upon the faith of a public eeVitis
went that there should be no second railway en; to
same line. This is all quite fair. " Public faith en
~
be maintained inviolable; but is there to be no respi,i,
to " railway faith ?" Railway companies invest t;yo
money upon the faith that they are to 1
a monopoly ; but do they not take that 1
,6"
nopoly under an implied pledge that they doo
not abuse it by an extortionate tax upon the loconl°- of
of the Queen's subjects—a monopoly of the mcansds ?
which locomotion they have got into their own bs"
It seems to us that the obligation between Parliaisieir
and the railway companies is reciprocal. I'3r,ot
went is to protect their monopoly—they are '
to make a use of it oppressive to the P° o.
But how is Parliament to enforce the observanog
their plighted faith upon these Companies ? n'•''aeci
their fares, and arranging the accommodation prdyler,
for passengers and carriers? This would never aestber
The only means that Parliament can resort to is,
to allow of competition by rival railways,. wy; of
as every one must see, would invite to a dead 105tter,
an enormous amount of capital that might be bettie
employed, or to claim the power of buying in fer be
public the existing railway at a fair price. The 131" dit,
fore Parliament reserves to Parliament this latter riro,
and we cannot guess upon what principle so fair a P
position can be resisted.
