But slow pross has as yet been made in The
British House Commons with the Irish Cocr-
cion Bill. OF IL clauses of which it is conf
posed, only three have been got through with,
yet, Notwithstanding this delay, we fear the hill
will pass in spite of the repugnance to its prin-
clples which appears to perVade the liberal side
ol the House. Ii is unortunate that, during
the debates, accounts reached London of the

Prince Czartoriski's magnificent countrv-
seat at Pulwav has been announced in the
Warsaw newspaper as contiscatcd, and offered
for sale--and in Volhynia and PodoIia the con
