In speech OF Sheils. during Peel's admin

might now bo applied with singular pertinence
to the Gladstone Cabinet. " The grievances Of
Ireland" he said. have been fatal TO several
Governments. and even now" pointing with
bonded form to that part OF the floor which lies
before the treasury bench. have dug tho grave
that Is yawning before the present one." Fc-
licitous was Shells retort. when charged with
backslldng by FeRrgus O'Connor. who said he
could remember hearing Shell on tho hustngs
tell tho people what their rights were. and that
If they could not get them by peaceful means
he would not shrink from leading them when
other efforts must DO tried. But did you never
hear" said She'll. what the people said to me
niterward? They told me they knew very vol
| had no more notion OF taking up arms, or
leading them to tho field. than Feargus O'Con-
nor" We should hero observe that besides

verts. not infrcquonty to the wit. irony. and
sarcasm SO lavishly displayed in the debates OF

COUNTY DIVISION.

A writer in the Middletown Trans.
eript urges the Legislature to a. least
allow county division 20 be submitted to
vote OF the people, and says:
The result of the late census show.
that the county Of New Castle has
population larger than the counties OF
Kent and SUSSEX combined, and thai
tue city Of Wilmington has more than
one-balf the population of New Castle
county. 1t being about forty-two thous-
and. 1t is manifestly proper that new
county should be erected out Of the
ssyen lower hundreds Of the county, re-
tanning the name Of New Castle, and
that the City Of Wilmington, with the
hundreds Of Brandywins, Christiana and
Mill Creek should compose the other
county, to be named Wilmington. In
point OF area the seven lower hundreds
embrace one hundred and ninety-nine
thousand acres, while the three upper
hundreds, with Wilmington contain less
than seVenty-four thousand acres.
IL TO each Of said new counties were
allotted seven Representatives aud three
Senators, II would very nearly equalizp
the ratis OF Representatives with the
other counties.
