Average civeulation during the previous week, ending Feb, 6, 87,780 daily oe Trouble Brewing in England. Agrarian troubles are increasing in Irc land, and Mr. GuApstoNr. will soon discover that by «tirring up the laud question he has perhaps been opening the floodgates of revo- lation, The working classes will not always consent that the natioual territory should vest Ina few hands. All the reeent political re- forms in Great Britain must be regarded asa prelude to a vast social reform, the com. meneoment of which will depend only upon the circumstances of the period and the tem. perof the people. If the present Adminis. tration had not made the Irish question the pivot of its existence, the proverbial s)ug- gishness of the English mind would prob- ably havo staved off public agitation on so cial questions for another generation; but the promincenes given to the grievances of the Irtsh peasantry tends to arouse the English masses from their apathy, and opens a fair field of action to the conscientious reformer as well as to the demagogne. When saga cious and liberal statesmen like Lord Guey are in favor of coercive measures in Ireland, and of crushing in its bud an agitation which threatens the supremacy of the British oligarchy, Mr. GLapstone’s mettle is put to @ severe tert; and the appeal for forbearance which he addressed to the Tory leader, Dis RAELI, betrays a consciousness of weuknvss which Dodes no good to the stability of Lis Administration. Most of the evils of which the Irish peas. antry complain are common to their English and Scotch fellow-suljects. Parliament re- presents the landed gentry only and not the peasantry, and even the so-called Radical members have not yet gathered courage to Etapple with these questions in a practical spirit. But tho ting is evidently approach ing for bold statesmen to solve the problem of social questions, and when that moment arrives Mr. GLApsTONE may find it conve- nient to return to his classical studies, and Mr. Disnarrt will be nowhere. li Mr. Sweeny’s Absurd Assumption of Power.

He had re signed the office of District Attorney in polit. ical disgrace some three years before. Me while he had been concerned in sirect rail- roads and other jobs. The Hon, Matrrew Pf. BRENNAN was elected Comptroller. Mr. SWEENY was very officlous during the elec tion, He persuaded the credulous Bi that he owed his office to his (SWEENY’s) pe sonal efforts, He then jumped upon Judge BRENNAN'S broad shoulders, and rode Lim remorselessly, The spoils were rich, but their division was ® repetition of the story of the hunter and the Indian—-SwxeEny took Yhe turkey and BruNNAn got the crow. In other words, SWEENY got the profits, aud BRENNAN took the odiun, Mr, SWEENY then essayed the rdle of Die tator, He was thoroughly beaten in his own ward in the very first contest. In the fall of 1863 he undertook to elect hie uncle, Tuomas J, Barr, Police Justice. The real Democracy joined issae with Tammany, and nominated Toomss 4. Lepwirn, who, while in tho Logislaturo, had incurred Mr, Sweeny's bitter enmity by voting against the Broadway Ra.load bill, his pet job. Lepwiin developed such strength that BweeNy became alarmed, Ue would not venture # fight. He turned tail, Ue with drew Bank, and Lepwitn walked over the course. Tn 1664 Mr. Sweeny was Iu high feather. ‘Be had obtained such a firma foothold In the Comptroller's office that he thought he could fore his uncle Tuomas into Congress, Tammany swallowed the uncle, but the honest Democrats took up the brilliant Jamus Buooks, of the Express.

Another was found to have rolled itself over and over and over in the saw- dust of the scaffold, In another case, where the head had been placed in the same basket with the hody, to be carried to the cemetery, it was found to have bitten the thigh of the body till the blood It is possible that the discussion of the y lead tothe substitution in France of hanging for guillotining.

The same reporter also mado ¢ number of absurd blunders respect- ing affairs in the Sixty-ninth Regiment of this city; but they are not worthy of special eorrec- tion, ee It has been repeatedly predicted that the newly created naval executive officers would, in the words of one of the most intelligent and far- secing line officers who ever graced our nayy, “tread so close upon the heols of the captain as to walk him over the storn of the ship.” The prophecy and its fulfilment have come together in the following order : GeNERAL ONDER, JANUARY 14, 1870, edium of communication with the eaptain ts the exccuiive officer, All oMelal matters approval, or to be forwarded Lt.
