1 future to ;govern Ireland, has at

y contessed in the debate on the
)iplomatic Relations with Rome Bill, on Thursday night.
Of course, like all other portions of the policy of the
party, it is contemptible, degrading to the sovereign and
insulting to the Irish people themselves. His Holiness
the Pope of Rome is to become a cat's paw of the British
ministry ; and his spiritual powers are to be wielded, at
the dictation of our envoy at his court, to repress the tur-
bulence of the Al'Hales and other reverend Irish fire-
brands. To meet at once the objections urged by the
s_ I constitutional party in the House against any recognition

f the s

...athority of the Pope, and the fears enter-
Roman Cathnlirc_nf Trelnnrl
.afic intercourse proposed to be held with the
Rome, should be " touching arid concerning in-
civil, commercial, and political relations."

a decided objection

AN INTER

ESTING ENQUIRY

hould be offered by the

..gricultural Society for the discovery of any year
in which, according to the summer and autumnal pr:-
tications of the Mark Lane Express, and other organs of
the Corn Jews, at least half the grain crops throughout the
country ought not to have been blighted, mildewed, defi-
cient in the yield, unsound, or affected by some similar
calamity, so as to justify an advance in the price of stocks
on hand. The necessary reference to the old files—of
papers we mean—would be very interesting. Another
prize might be offered for the discovery of any year in
which the American cotton crop ought not, according to
Brother Jonathan, to have turned out either a very short
crop, or a total failure, and in which, according to the
opinions of consumers, it ought not to have been the most
abundant on record, the object of the enquiry being to find
out the mean of truth in the.two opposing authorities.
