Premier's own mind, the two measures, coercion
and corn, are as lnseparabe as the Slamese twins.
Toe one is to carry down the other. The coercion
bill 10 to pass IN the rush for corn II Is the policy
OF the country butcher, who clogs the beefsteaks
which you want with shin OF beet which you do
not want or, If you order something to eat, sends
with it at least equal quantity of something which
you can do nothing with but melt into tallow
candies. The coercion bill is the ministerial make
weight OF the corn b-all sinew, tat, and bone
You know there must be such things, and you are
ready to acknowledge their value at proper seasons,
and after suitable processes but they are not what
you ordered, and not like TO have them thrust
upon you.
The last word OF command is that the wagon is
to fall into the line the coercion act lis to move first
As It Is here-as II has been forced into that false

must have the precedence. Yet it passes our com.

RECEIPTS OF THE ZoLLvERKN-A letter from
Berlin, March n, in the Gazette de Cologne, says
1--WE learn that the receipts OF the Zolverein for
1916, are considerably higher than for 1874. 1t is
said that sugar, coffee, and other colonial produce,
have produced a million OF dollars more than last
year. However, the sum produced by sugar was
considerably reduced by the amount OF the pre-
minms of export, reaching sum OF not less than
400 600 thalers 1t is undoubtedly sugar refneres,
which ara at present the most fiourishing underta-
kings in the whole Zolverein, Notwithstanding the
competition made TO them through Holland Of a
sort OF exceedingly fine moist sugar, which scarcely
requires refining" The net revenue OF the Zolvc-
rein. says the Rhenish Observer, amounted In 1874,
to "a PIP 526 thalers, and in 1916 to Is, l6S. 2SS
thalers being an increase in the latter year OF $780,
76S thalers.

sioners, the members OF which are Sir K. Brown
(the Commissary-G eneraD, Sir Robert (Professor)
brane, and Mr.. Mackenzie. These returns exhibit
ted unequivocally the daily increasing progress oil
the distress After some conversation, shared IN
by several Irish members, Sir Robert Peel expressed

Of Indian corn was already efecung social reyo-
luton in Ireland by exciting in the people taste for
higher description Of food; The Irish people
were discovering that they could work longer and
better, and were altogether IN better condition, by
the use OF meal, the produce OF Indian corn, than
by the use of that watery food, potatoes. At pres
ent, however, Indian corn was only admitted into
Ireland sort OF suffrance, under the authority
OF treasury order; the bill which would FULLY
legase the importation was still waiting the deci
sien of Parliament The guaranty Of an act would
inspire confidence. Let II not be forgotten, too
that we required foreign wheat to mix with our own
at cheaper rate than the present duty OF l6s per-

their pertnacity in forcing on the Coercion Bill,
thus placing a stumbling block IN the way OF the
Corn Bill. Their conduct had raised doubts in the
minds OF the public as to the sincerity OF ministers
in their commercial measures. The subject ulti-
mately dropped, and the House adjourned for the
Easter recess.
DANIEL O'CoSrx1I.-Mr O'Connell delivered a
very long speech in opposition TO the Irish Coercion
Bill He had on previous occasion given notice
of motion to appeal to Parliament ito adopt such
measures as would tend to eradicate the causes
which produce those crimes, instead of resorting TO
laws which would harrass and Cypress the innocent
without restraining the guilty" In the course OF
his remarks he went over the same ground that he
has travelled for thirty years past and dshed up all
the statistics and ideas which generally form the
staple OF his speeches in Ireland.

some conversation, 1t was acknowledged by all
parties, as well by M. Ledru Rollin himself that
the questions would be inconvenient at the present
time, and they were postponed stSe die.
