THE IRISH COERCION BILL.—The fate of "the Irish
Coerelon Bill " is sealed. We have the utmost gratification In being
enabled to announce that Lord George Bentinck, the professed and
acknowledged leader of the Protectionist party, has declared the
determination of the great majordy of the English agricultural
Members to oppose the future progress of this measure. The Noble
Lord on Monday last communicated this important intelligence to a
Right Honourable Irish Member, who discharged the duties of Presi-
dent of the Board of Trade under the Melbourne Administration.
Nearly all the Protectionist Representatives voted with the Govern-
ment for the first reading of the Irisli Coercion Bill. They have
since bestowed considerable time and attention in scrutinising the
provisions of the curfew measure, and the result of their delibera-
tions, ever which Lord George Bentinck presided, is, that by delay-
ing the second reading of the Bill Government have adduced prima
facie evidence, establishing that no necessity exists for enacting so
arbitrary, tyrannical, and unconstitutional a restriction upon the
liberties of the Irish people. Lord John Russell announced on Mon-
day evening his intention of opposing the second reading of the Irish
Coercion Ital. At least one hundred English Whig Members purpose
%lying themselves under the Noble Lord's banner; and their oppo-
sitTen, conjoined with that which the Irish Liberal and English Pro-
tectivnist Members have respectively pledged themselves to give the
measure, must insure its rejection, in the event of Sir Robrt Peel
placing himself and his Government in a position to be thee de-
feated.—Advertiser.
ANTICIPATED VISIT OF THE KING AND QUEEN OF
THE FRENCH TO THIS COUNTRY.—We have what we think authority
for announcing that their Majesties the King and Queen of the
French, attended by some of the junior branches of the Royal
Family, contemplate paying a visit to her Majesty the Queen about
the latter end of June or early in July. Of the fact of the Intended
visit there is, we believe, not the slightest doubt. Some fear has
been entertained that the approaching elections for the Chamber
might interfere with the French Monarch's intention ; but, as these
do not take place before the end of July, and as judging, flora pre-
vious experience, her Majesty will be able to receive her Royal
visiters in the latter part of June, there seems little reason to appre-
hend the occurrence of any obstacle calculated to prevent the con-
tanigated exchange of Royal hoopitalitiel.
