powerful restraint however, THIS check
is unfortunately very feeble. Commercial and professional

Irish Government acts upon the principle of winning the Re-

the consequences that hopes Immediately excited in the

pectaons which for the most part vain, and losing day
by day the capacity for Independent labor Now this desuc
ton of useful habits large numbers the direct consequence
of policy which would aim at quoting the Repeal agitation
by such opate patronage The of such policy
would depend upon many being always held fast by expeca

"We maintain therefore, that while the Government should
refuse place for which he is fit because he happens
to be Repeater neither should aim at securing the political
support OF Repeaers by giving appointments in exchange for
their political services. The principle of making appointments
upon considerations of personal fitness only is which has
not hitherto received much from practical men,
but the present conuncure is emneny favorable for trying

tons. must be Observed also, that the eesabshment of
any such connnexon between the Wings and the Repeaers
that which at time existed between the former and Mr.
OConne TO become from day to day less practicable
if it desirable At the late meeting Of the Repeal
Association, Mr. Maurice 0Conne took credit that body
for the defeats and embaassments experienced by Govern
ment at the late elections and evnced anxiety to clear
himself and his friends of the mputaon of being allies OF
Ministers We do not think the Government will lose by
this. The support of the late Mr.. OConnel was in
spects advantage to the Melbourne Cabinet out It was
in its early stages disadvantage. In the end the
nexon was, in point Of fact fatal to that Administration The
present Government may employ other and better OF
gaining strength in Ireland"
In its next article the Chronicle urges one more
very bold step in the policy of this free trade Min
istry, the repeal Of those navigation laws which
have long been considered the great stay of the
English carrying trade and shipping interest. That
experiment is no doubt now under consideration by
the Russell Administration but, if finally decided
on, must be viewed as daring and hasty one. The
Chronicle certainly adduces, in support of its sug
gestion, some two or three cases where, because
they could only be shipped to Great Britain in Br
fish vessels, commodities were left in some country
of which they were not the growth until the de-
mand for them in the English markets had perhaps
ceased. Now what do such prove ! Why,
perhaps, not that the provisions Of the navigation
act kept commodity or ships away; but that per-
haps there better prices for the article bet
ter freighs for the ships somewhere else just then.
To descend, however, to matters more amusing,
we have the following Court news from Bavaria.
