PESSORS AND STUDENTS OF MAYNOOTH
COLLEGE TO HER MAJESTY.
Mr. WHALLEY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
Whether he took any and what means to ascertain whether
the address of condolence, lately presented to her Majesty,
Purporting to emanate from the President, superiors, and
students of Maynooth College, did in fact emanate from
those persons? He said that this memorial excited
his surprise, in the first place, with respect to its having
emanated from the body in question, and in the next, that
it should have been received. The effectintended was to make
out that that body was loyal, which was quite the reverse,
as he would be able to make out from the statement he intended

f to a letter
published in the _Nation, in which the
writer denied that the
Immoral represented the feelings of the body from which
it purported to proceed. The hon. member also read some

Mr. B. OSBORNE condemned the taste of the hon.
member ;_n bringing forward the subject of an address of
condolence to her Majesty, and for his uncalled for insult
tt?, the Irish people. He thought after the speeches which

-olibt of the good temper of the Irish pm le, as he had
escaped with a whole skin. (Laughter.)
