LITERATURE.

AMELIORATION OF IRELAND.

Prom a Letter to ones 1W new before Par-
liament, for Regulating the Appointment of Liar•
Womb and Depay Lieutenants for Comities in
Ireland.

1 have read over Lord Melbourne's bill " for
regulating the appointment of Lieutenants of
Counties in Ireland," and also the Debate in the
House of Lords on that subject. The whole
measure affords me peculiar satisfaction, as 1 have
been for years its humble but untiring advocate,
and yea may besmeared that; until it is in opera-
tion, no Government can effect a thorough revi-
sion of &elfish Magistracy, or remedy the de-
fects of the present organisation of the constabu-
lary force at their disposal. • -
Under any circumstances, the depriving persons
already selected by the Crown, of their commis-
sions, becomes an invidious task; but in the present
state of Ireland (let the ability and impartiality of
the executive be ever so great) no measure is more
likely to create local—if not general—discontent.
The best course which could be taken to avoid
those embarrassing effects, is through the pro-
posed bill; but to render that measure as popular
and as perfect as can be reasonably expected, the
following suggestions may be useful :
Let Lord Melbourne declare, from his place in
the House of Lords, that the executive will consi-
der residence an indispenaible requisite for each
Lieutenant and Deputy Lieutenant ; and further,
that the magistrates to be recommenced by them
shall be limited in number, according to the popu-
lation and the extent of each Petty Sessions
District. •

The only alternatives for the future Government
of Ireland and upon which England must speedily
decide re, on the one hand the establishment of
a perfect unity in their Executives as well as in
their Legislature, and on the other—separation.
The former is obviously not merely the best for.-
both countries, but the only one upon which they
can permanently rest with any degree of security
to either.
To give it effect, an Irish Department, distinct
from that of the Home Office, must be substituted
for that of the Lord Lieutenancy—over that De-
partment a Cabinet Minister should preside, and
be should be aided by two Under-Secretaries (as
in the Treasury) having seats in Parliament, and
one permanent Secretary out of Parlioruent; who
should be constantly resident in Ireland : the
Parliamentary Secretaries being so alternately. By
such an arrangement as this the Irish Public will
be ensured an efficient Executive, having three of
its members responsible in their places in Parlia-
ment, two of them at all times resident in Ireland,
and four diving the noses. This done, all the
offices connected with the present establishment,
including that of Irish Privy Counsellor, should be
abolished.

I have long considered that the unfortunate state
of Ireland to be mainly attributable to the defec-
tive construction of its Executive Government,
which, in my humble judgment, is the worst that
could be devised. Those who have read with at-
tention the correspondence between Lord Anglesey
and the Duke of Wellington in 1828, need no
further evidence ; by that alone, the reflecting
portion of the Irish Community must have been
convinced that we were governed, not directly by
those with whom we came into contact, but, as it
were, by the third or fourth hand—the Lord Lieu-
tenant's Secretary—the Lotd Lieutenant—the
Home Alinistet —the Premier—and constitution-
ally speaking, the Sing over them all : the three
latter being ignorant of the local wants and wishes
of the people : the two former surrounded by the
favoured fey; (called the Castle-party of the day) to
whom they may have been (through intrigue on
this side of the water) consigued, and being stran-
gers to the country, they are necessarily guided
by the information and advice received from that
pa, ticular circle. It is scarcely credible that since
the commencement of English rule in Ireland,
from 1172 to 1 83! —just 659 years—we nave hod
no less than 396° Guverunrs, exo.lusive of those
who held t'!e, reins hem 1677 to 1711. of which 1
lave nu accouot by we at the nre.ent moment.—
To these e e '.ave to add our Chief Secreta:ies. &c.
and during the same time, be it observed, England
::as been rt.led by 30 Sovereigns and one Lord
Protector.t

If the change I now propose bad taken effect
(when it °ugh() at the union, Ireland WOLAI have

nicre rarebit:cut union could nut have continuer
30 years, and the statesmen of this couutry would

the unpopularity which attaches to all wholesome innoca•
Lions falls on the Viceroy who introduces them ; while the
merit w'dich follows from them is given to his successors.—
On the whole, it is genet ally fortunate when a viceroy is con.
tented to be merely passive in his office, and is negatively a
clog on the improvement of the state. The situation being
frreptentiv given to some nobleman embarrassed with debts.
or overwhilmed with a large family to numerous dependants,
it has often happened that be has considered the country
