striking proof of the "assurance" of our contem-

wanting," our contemporary will be clever. We
shall only offer a few words of comment upon the
following remarks, which conclude the article :
" It is true they have been indulged with an extraordi-
nary concurrence and almost competition of support, so
much so that we have just had what may almost be called
an unanimous session. it may, indeed, be said that their
strength was external rather than their own; and that
they were more fortunate than successful. But a sus-
picion which exists in spite of contradictory facts is no
ground for censure. Ministers have .succeeded, and are
therefore uncondemned. Such is the case of the Govern-
ment as a whole. Whether it might be improved by a
few judicious changes is a question which involves mere
personal considerations. Nay, it involves also individual
convenience and acquiescence. As yet we have not heard
that any member of the Government is likely to quit
either willingly or otherwise. These are not days when
men of note and position prefer peerages to power. The
House of Commons is still the chief battle-field of the
country. The mind of the age loves that warm hearth, and
envies not the chill grandeur of the Lords. Our readers
may depend upon it, that neither the love of a title, nor
fear, nor idleness, nor diffidence, nor the voice of the
country, is likely at present to withdraw any of her
Majesty's present advisers from their envied position."
The laudation meted out here is rather of a
questionable character. The strength of the
ministry has been " rather external than their
own." They have been "more fortunate than
successful!' They "have succeeded" (in what?)
"and are, therefore, uncondemned." A cold sort
of backing his friends is this, on the part of our
contemporary. The denial which follows, "that
any member of the" (Whig) "government is likely
to quit willingly," was quite unnecessary. We
never knew a Whig quit any good thing willingly.
But the " envied position" of her Majesty's present
advisers beats every thing. Our contemporary
must have been indulging his satirical vein.

Our valued contemporary, the Dublin Evening
Mail, devoted a long article last week to the re-
cent appointment, by his Grace the Lord Primate
of Ireland, of the Rev. W. H. Guillemard, M. A.,
Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge, to the
Head Mastership of the Royal School of Armagh.
Our contemporary complains, that, inasmuch as
Irishmen are systematically excluded from corre-
sponding situations in England, and since such
posts of honour and emolument are so very rare in
Ireland, an injury and slight is offered to the
Church and University by passing over men of
equal, if not superior, attainments, to make way
for the introduction of stranger for the respons-
ible post in question. In arguing out the case he
writes as follows

" Let us inquire what can have been the reasons which
have caused the claims of the University to be neglected.
" Perhaps we are more backward in our mode of edu-
cation in Dublin than in Oxford or Cambridge. Let us see
whether this be the case. Cambridge bas been much
praised for the alacrity which she has manifested to ex-
tend and improve her course of instruction. In every re-
-Bpect Dublin showed her the example.

" In the year 1843 she instituted a voluntary theologi-
cal examination for candidates for orders : such an exami-

thing as to lock up its money. This

banks, was a recommenda-

two examinations, compulsory on all divinity students.
Lave existed since 1837, in Trinity College, Dublin.
" Another of the improvements just adopted in Cam-
ire is, that students are to be required to attend two
es of divinity lectures during one term, before they
are admitted to this examination ; in 1837 Dublin adopted
a more stringent rule, which requires six terms attend-
ance at divinity lectures, previous to the final examina-
tion.
