it was resolved on TO present petition TO Parla-
ment TO have the penal clause against the Jesuits,

very clause inserted at the instance, and based

rnitiee Of the House of Commons in 1923 His
words then were, "Foreign education Of Priests
may be made a dangerous instrument, and have
reason 10 apprehend that the danger is not vslona-

| gze these foreign Priests, and TO exert his lniu
ence, by petition, tohave them recognized by the
| law of the land. This petition will share the fate

upon her soil Of Foreign Priests nmical 10 her
laws and opposed TO her institutions. II is but

In this same report find that Emigration is dwelt
on at some length one Of the means TO be en-
ploved TO remove the existing evils In Ireland. Il
is probable that some plan OF emigration Will be
presented at early stage OF the session, Tor the
relief OF overburdened districts, but whether al the
expense of the Government, or by the landlords,
does not appear. | am inclined to think there wall
be very great increase o emigration to the United
States this year from Ireland, independent OF any
Governmental or local system. Wherever have
been, have found the lower and middng classes
most anxious to hear OF America, and the prospects
held out for beterns their condition by emgratIng
thither. The accounts from Australia are very dis
heartenns, so that much OF the current OF emlsra-

To the Editor Of TIE Tribune:
The Winter has been remarkably mild in the
South OF Ireland and but few storms have been felt
along the coast The present month has opened
mildly, and so far the Wheat and crops in the
ground look promising. A severe fros; would now
be productive OF the greatest injury to the Farmer
The busy note Of preparation for emigration Is
heard on every side, and many suppose there will
be great increase in the number of emigraHts
over last year. from this country. Many have got
sick and tired of waiting for Repeal, SO they hasten
to seek the land where Liberty already awaits
them, ready made TO their hand. The proceedings
in Parliament have not had much of interest for
you Americans, with the exception perhaps oi the
alteration in the Customs and Sugar duties. The
Ministers have had some trling triumphs on the
Income Tax, Letter Opening, &c. This Post-Of-
lice espionage was matter Of much Inconvenience

for opening such letters as they may wish 10 get

BY Il statement made in Parliament, il appears
that over 5000 newspapers per week are sent TO the
dead letter Office, as having been found without
directions. The proposition eqsalize the duty on

jory OF l27 for the Ministers, who did not in the
abstract object 10 II, but as protection had been the
policy Of the Government, they did not deem il Just
for the sake of establishing abstract proposition
TO draw ruin the heads vi those who had trusted
in its enactment. Lord Johs Russell has been at.
tackng the policy Of the Ministers this subject.
He contcnded that the plan 10 keep up distinction
between foreign or slayc-labor Sugar and Colonial
Sugar was imprac,icab,e and :uSory; and That the
Government was pursuing an inconsistent course
with regard 10 slave labor. II proposed TO admit
save-grown Cotton, duty Tree, without aitordlng the
slightest protection the freelahor Cotton of the
East Indies: also the same with Copper-Ore.-
This partial legislation, he contended, aid not &C

He was In favor OF reducing the protection afforded
10 Colonial iree-labor Sugars.
MIR. Gladstone defended the policy of the Gov
ernment and maintained that the reduction OF the
duty would give a stimulus 10 the Slave trade IN
Cuba and Tie Brazis. Hereminded the opposition
of the grea, sacrifices that had been made 10 obtain
the extinction OF slavery, and advised, II II were de-
