the representatives Of the people were
called on at the present crisis, on be-

more votes of money, or to the appro-

how the business in the house ofLords
was disposed of. (CheerS.)
Mr.. OConnell said, that the conS,i.

The topic OF greatest interest is Of
course the progress Of the recently
proposed laws in the chamber Of dep

the adoption Of that relative - the
