Irish terrorism is entering on a new phase . A few days ceived back , Captain a polite missive Smith Barry informing , of Ball him y that Edmond he was , who to be had shot re to - a certainty , called a , meeting of his tenants , with a view to talking their grievances quietly over . The interview was fully attended ; and after a long discussion , the matter was amicably settled by the agent tendering his resignation , which Captain What Smith the Barry rights accepted and wrongs , amidst of the the enthusiasm case actuall of y were the meeting does not . appear ; but it certainly seems a little hard on the agent that he scientiousl should be y . sacrificed On the other , if it hand happened self-preservation that he had is acted a rule con of - nature , and Captain Smith Barry , would not have been justified in allowing himself to be shot on the promptings of a sentimental sense of justice . Let us hope that either the agent was a very wicked man , and deserved his fate , or that he did his can duty , congratulate and has been him handsomel on an escap y pensioned e from Bal . ly In Edmond any case and , we its amiable inhabitants .

The more advanced of the modern military reformers have commenced a raid on the Household Cavalry . They urge that the three regiments of which the brigade is composed do no duty of any serviceable nature , that they are useless for active service , and that they cost the country , £ 150 , 000 a year . It is also urged against them that they are even lazy in the escort pertain duties , which to them , as , for the a bod troop yguard of Lancers of the or Soverei Hussars gn , clearly is always apstationed at Kensington to accompany the Queen ' s carriage fro Majesty m Paddington comes to town Station an to arrangement Buckingham which Palace is made , when neces Her - sary by the Household , Cavalry shirking the sharp two-mile trot not which belong such to occasional that advanced service school involves which . would For our abolish part , for we the do simple sake of abolition ; but while we should be sorry to see the Life Guards done away with , we would have them do their duty . In case of war , notwithstanding that it is half a century or more since the Household Cavalry went on active service we doubt not that the Life Guards would be no national dis- , credit and fairl , and y gained would ; uphold but just their now their presti vocation ge ^ which is was certainl honourabl y chiefly y of that the they ornamental should not .
