House Of Commons, which came up on Nj.

vote was reached, the result OF which must be

meantime the nswspapsrs and the people Of
all classes freely discussed the question. Dur
Ing this time the conservatives were very busy
In their sndeavors to inform the people % to
what wousd be the effect Of this overthrow OF
the Irish establishment on the establishment
at home. They introduced the raliying cry Of
mo Popery;' they appealed to the religious
prejudices and passions OF the people; they
pointed to the exclusion Of the Irish Bishops
from the House Of Lords, And notified the
massss that the same exclusion would apply
In respect to the Prslhtes Of the English

TuH NODE OF SURPRISING liquor selling
and drunkenness In olden times was very much
more effective than now. 1t may well be
doubted whether the people OF these times
would quietly tolerate such Interference. An
exchange says: "In 1857 there were not many
houses In the town Of Boston, amongst which
were two houses Of entertainment called ordi-
nsries, Into which, II = stranger went, he was
presently followed by one appointed to that
once, who would thrust himself into his com.
pany uninvited, and II he called for more drink
than the ofdcer thought In his judgment he
could soberly bear away, he would presently
eountermsnd It, and appoint the proportion,
beyond which he could not get one drop"

We prefer not to indulge In speculstions upon
