imprisonment is admitted on all hands to have
taken place. What redress are we to have fol-

co home and say to my countrymen, " Don't mind
John Bullock for your parliament yourselves. D
After all, when one comes to look closely into
this matter, it appears that only safe If zoe
can afford 10 pay for it, Arthur O'Neal, who has
narrowly escaped with bis life from dungeon al
Strafford, has as good case for appeal to the
lords as O'Connell; but he was poor man. His
attached and injured supporters were poor men
and he was not able to pay for justice, and there
fore he did not get it. " One law for the rich and
another for the poor,' was further illustrated in
these cases; Arthur O'Neal having been shut up
in prison, and denied the privilege even granted to
feon, of writing to his friends, while Daniel o.
Cornell had his splendid apartments, held his le-
wees, and can scarcely be said to have felt under
restraint Fool he would have been, doubtless
to complain of this indulgence-but who does moi
see the injustice of such administration of the law
Terrible retrbution, we fear, awaits England for
these things yet.
You will recoect that, sometime before O'Con-
nell was tried, correspondence took place be-
tween him and Mr.. Joseph Surge, on the subject
of granting a federal or domestic parliament to
Ireland. You will he glad to hear that O'ConnelI
has stated that he will be ready to give federalism
fair trial On this ground, and on this ground
only, will he receive the support of the people OF
England. Meanwhile, the repeal movement goes
ahead with tenfold more velocity than before the
treals, and Ireland will have a domestic legislature
of her own.

and English governments have come to pacific
terms, understanding each other. What these
terms really are, we cannot yet tell, but the fact
that the war threatened will not be realized, is Of
fcialIy proclaimed and that in itself is satsfacto-
ry. Louis philippe is expected in England in Oc-
tober, and then we shall have crowned heads
doubtless acknowledging the wisdom of the sub
ject has had much to do in averting the "game OF
war" which kings are so fond to play at.
Sd. Lord Stanley has been pitchforked into The
House Of Lords-Not just yet, but he has accept
ed the " chtern hundredS;" 0hat is nominal
office, which implies the vacating Of seat in the
House Of Commons,) and will take his place a.
m6ng the peers in February. 1t is well for Ire
land that Stanley was not there the ether week, OF
ten to one if the lazy lord had not voted and con
frmed the Irish judgment against O'Connell HI
has been a troublesome character in the commons
aud his absence there will be gain to he country
| What has led to the change, it is difficult to con
lecture, but it is said that he is still to retain hi
seat in the cabinet. Be it so-the country care
not. North Lancashire thus rendered vacant, al
though in manufacturing and mining property thu
wealthlest in England, has returned without oppo

is said, to keep the seat warm for the only son
Stanley, who is now 10 years of age. Two year.
more will make him major, but the 81 years o
age qualification does not extend to the working
man.
