avowed to promote the of this repeal of the union
Well then, what must be Inferred from the notorety Of
that fact What but that the repeal of the union far
as a vote OF Parliament Is concerned, is hopeless.
The session, which is drawing TO close has
been slngulary deficient In practical legislation -
With the exception OF the Factories Bill, which
has raised such storm OF opposition, compre
hensve measure has been introduced worthy oil the
name. falling revenue, declining trade, mutiny
amongst It's supporters; apoweriu free trade opposl-
ton, every day increasing in numbers and mpor
lance; Scotland torn to pieces by religious dissen-
slons, which 1t attributes to the government Ire
land on the verge OF Instruction, convused from
one extremity to the other-these are the accumu-
lated difficulties which bcset the Minister at the
close of the second parliamentary session."

most deathllke, nor was 1t much interrupted by the
soft tread of the right hon. baronet he walked to

then read by the speaker and he went to the end
the subject was so very different from what was
pected that a loud laugh burst from nearly all who
