question of how far the Government shall venture
In the endeavor to suppress with that cautousness
and hesitation which is indicative of the perpexity
and trouble of Her Majesty's ministry in the ma
nagement of this semi.rebellion. In the mean time
the Government contents itself with the removal of
some of the more active repealers from their Offices
as magistrates, and they fan the flame of discon-
tent without venturing on any effective measure to
arrest its progress. Mr.. w. S. O'Bren, M p, tor
the county of Limerick, had controversy with Sir
James Graham in the House of Commons on the
subject of the removal Of magistrates for attending
Repeal meetings, and has since published his own
resignation as magistrate in consequence.

and many other Of the most able and popular deba-

indulge in it. Among the most able, experienced

having inculcated some princlpe Just In Itself and

The great Derby race at Epson came OIL last

mules and donkeys-o omnibus and post coaches
gigs, tilburies and cabriolets-beer carts and ale
wagons-together with nondescrpt vehicles, OF all
imaginable shapes and sizes, mingled and olted, and

million of dollars changed hands at this race, the
winners of which were redolent OF smiles, while
the losers shrunk away IN silence to brood over their
disappointments. And thus ended day on the race

Protestant magistrates, not favorable to repeal,
have resigned their commissions, on the ground that
the removal of their fellow magistrates, who were
Repealers, was arbitrary exercise OF power, you
