/ The excitement in England. Ireland and
Scotland, on the Nlaynooth question is intense.
a meeting Of the principal silk mamuiactur-
ers of Lyons took place few DAYS ago in that
city, TO petition the Chamber of Peers against

/ PARLIAMENTARY. The last Fortnight has
been almost exclusively eccvried with the Dues
ton Of Naynooth-the great question Of the
| day The public mind is still iernenting. and
will continue to do so long after the statute
book has recorded the enactment Of the mca-
sure. All doubt about its parliamentary sue
cess was set at rest by the Unexpectedly large
majority which passed the second sreadirg-
l47; and although its Jealous opponents have
since shrwn fight in ihe House OF Commons by
another debate, and another division or the
bringing up Of the report, yet the last was a
battle more marked by parade than earnest
ness and the foreground was occupied by a
number Of small men who must say something
to Justify their inconsistecy. The same thing
will take place on the thrd reading; and al
though we hear, in the out door meetings of
the zcalots, that at least dozen members are
to die Oh the floor Of the House to prevents its
passing, yet tins jrutln titLDIen is estimated at

tngs, the medicine will be swallowed with faces
less wry.

pose unnecessary taxation. 9--That the pre-
sent corn laws tend to check Improvement
produce uncertainty, and hold out delusive
prospects Of special advantages to the farmer
/ THAT the House will take said laws into
consideration, and legisate thereon as NAV be
most beneficial to all classes. 5--Careful revi-
sion of parochal settlement. 6-Systenatic
colonization by the Government. 1-Educa-
ton of the people. S-That Ministers lay the
foregoing resolutions before her Majesty.
The QUEEN's VISIT TO IRELAND. The Lon
don Times, which is fiercely opposing the Min
istry on account of the MaynooLh Grant,
strongly advises them, as they have not yet
| publicly committed her to visit Ireland this
/ year, to take the hint and prevent her from be-
ing publicly insuted. Nevertheless, in the pre-
sent temper of the Irish nation, there is every
reason to believe that the Qneen would be col
daily, heartily, and even enthusiastically re-
ceived on Irish soil, and that the gallantry Of
the leaders would prevail over their political
tactics. The only question is, will the Queens
advisers run the risk of the contingency?

had Just arrived at Havre from Rotterdam, on
their way TO the Western World. 1t is to be
regretted that the authorities of New York,
Boston, Sc, do not establish protective soce-
ties, not in name but in spirit, and secure the
poor emigrant from the robbery and plumber 10
which he is subjected by the sharks which are
allowed to board the ships OH their arrival at
their destined port
