element which has, in past times, given so
much trouble to our Governments-and we. in
august conference assembled, do, unsolicited,
recommend TO her Majesty's just and mild
Government the establishment in Ireland Of
large institutions, under the patronage OF the
State, designed to meet the sources Of discon-
tent in that unhappy island.
From all that we can learn. ireland, that land
ofromance, is literally in rags, and the inhabi-

recommend that there be established, at con-
venient points. large Ready-made Clothing

fed that the project will make that nation a
