1t is not many weeks since large quantity
OF corn was taken out of bond in England and
shipped to foreign ports; let the present duty
continue but a few weeks longer, and much
oil that which remains in bond will be export
ed to countries whose wants may not be great
er, hut those whose wisdom is more pIoyIdent
than our own-who know the advantage of
OF laying IN store against season of Distress
and who know not the slippery virtues of the
sidng-scale. We shalt thu, present 10 the eyes Of
The civilized cOrdthe singular spectacle of a nation
uotunGrigpoor IN TIE midst Of great ,Uealh, hord
ing up stores which it iorbears to touch, and
starving Itself for the good of its neighbors.-
However the phlanthrophy of such a country
may be admired for It's novelty, yet mankind
will question its sense of Justice, especially
when they remember that tins temporary self
denial is to be compensated by future extra
travagance and that though we abstain from
buying when we might buy cheaply, we shall
enter the markets when competition has Great
ed dearncss, and dearness has been followed by
general distress.
/ That men should hesitate before they believe
III the approximation of danger is natural
. That they should delay or deprecate change
| IN their own measures, and the work Of their
own hands, Is natural also. But state necessl-
ty IS more powerful than self-love or sel-deu-
sion. II works by signs and by wonders-by
the popular voice, by the operations of nature,
by the distress OF nations. Let no man say that
hs work is tna l-that his wisdom is paramount
that his counSeIs are for all time 1t is not
So IL never was, and never will be so. The
great Chain of events coils round and round us,
mperceptbe, inevitable, inextrcable.
/ The present corn laws are doomed, 1t is for
the Premier to decide whether he will sign the
warrant OF their execution. Set-love, the ten
derness OF sponsorship, and lingering regard
Tor the graccs OF consistency, may stay his
/ hand. But his mercy will be suicidal. If he
delays others will be found ready to act for
HIM. lie will only gain the unequivocal praise
Oh having been unseasoUably, and on one point
only, consistent But there is much in "the
look of the thing" with premrers as well as
prudcs. And the most prudsh of Premiers
may hesitate before he condemns what he has
sanctioned and sactons what he has strenuous
ly denounced. If tins be so, there is only Que
course for him to take-to abstain from taking
an open part in this important discussion-tO
leave to others the merit Of settling the ques-
tlon-and to resign
IRELAND.
'. The commissioners appointed by government
TO inquire into the actual condition of the DO
tato crop have presented a second report to the
Lord Lieutenant. With regard to the plans
for preserving diseased potatoes, they dismiss
from consideration, as being inapphcable to the
circumstances, the use OF acids, alkaline liquors.
and chlorine, and they state that the decompO-
stlon OF the potato is accelerated by the use of
bleaching powder and salt, either separate or
in mixture.
