It is expected that a number of Liberal Members of Parlia-

MR. BRIGIIT.—In reply to Mr. John M'Corry,
who had asked Mr. Bright to address a special meeting of
working men during his visit to Dublin, the member for
Birmingham has stated that his stay will be too short in
that city to permit of a promise that he will attend any
public meeting ; if Mr. M'Corry's friends will allow the
matter to stand over, however, some arrangement may,
bo thinks, bt made, which pay not be inconvenient to
them.
