something, es our " trade end mystery" are con-
cerned. We, of course cannot complain of the
limited demand for newspapers; and with respect

that can be done. As to errors, no man can guard
himself ugeinst their occurrence its the course of a
session : they would not be prevented by haiing

of which Mr. O'Connell spoke, is a mere absurdity.

wonsible by their characters,—by 'the Interest
