MR. GOODWIN IRISH QUESTION.
There is a report that Mr.. Goodwin Smith entertans an

Out of the forty fifty Roman Catholic members of Par

does not hold his conditionay the favor of the
priests They mostly disspated race all eaten up
with debt; given hard drinking to the Let their
professions their constituents be what they may they

less with secarian topics Vulgar mpuden and unscrupu-
lous the average Irish NJ P byword for what
panonabe and unpopular These hard things say but
they are true The Protestant and Tory members not
much better There is Lord Claude Hamilton who when on
his legs scarcely address the House without breaking
through conventional uages Colonel Knox again. guilty

Orangeman with his trasplaned to the moor OF
the House of Commons The polished Irish gentleman when

Meet an ultramonane Irish member at midnight in the
Hobbies of the House. and you will find he eeks with the
