The feeling of discontent and sedition is not yet allayed in Ireland, notwithstanding the exertions of the Liberal Government to ameliorate the condition of the unhappy country. We could account in some measure for the discontented feeling amongst the uneducated cotters and fishermen of the south and west, but when as our cablegrams to-dSy show, men of the mental calibre and knowledge of the world of Mr Parnell, foment this discontent and aggravate the difficulty of dealing with matters appertaining to Ireland, we must admit our astonishment. We at a distance, even such of us as hail from the "old sod," can look with unbiassed eyes on the state of Ireland, and can see that in open hostility to England, her people are taking the wrong course ; for England is not likely to be coerced into granting their demands by the seditious and aggressive conduct of their leaders. The sooner the Irish take a sensible view of their position, take constitutional means to redress their wrongs, and desist from their eternal carping at the Government the better it will bo for them, and the more likely are they to have more than justice done them.
