ADDRESS OF CONDOLENCE FROM MAYNOOTH.

---
Mr. WHALLEY rose to oak the following question of
the Chief Secretary for Ireland, of which be had given
make :—Wlostbee he bad taken any sad what means to as-
certain whether the address of condolence lately presented
to her Slnjesty, purporting to emaciate from the president,
superiors, and studeute of Maynooth College, did in fact
emanate from those persons! In order to justify putting
the question he bad to remind the house that. there ap-
peared is the public journ►ls an address of condolence to
her Majesty on the recent melancholy oocasinn from the
president, superiors, and students of Maynooth College. He

selves from them, and though it is not our province to coo-

that the sacred place in which the 'amorist was presented
to them prevented their expressing their dissent from it,
