DUBLIN.
In the House Of Commons on Monday
May Is, Secretary Be4feur announced
that no opportunity would be afforded
the House of discussing the petition of
the Dublin corporation, recently pre-
scented by the lord mayor, at the bar of
the House, in favor Of the release of the
Irish political prisoners. AS the petition
was gotten up by the Redrnendite party,
and their leaders refuse to allow any
other to have hand in the matter, our
people can form an idea of the contempt
with which the Tory government re-
gards Mr.. John Redmond and those
whom he, can influence. Yet, even since
tbs exhibition, Mr.. John Redmond, In a
nublic speech has avowed his continued
1&edhsf etft5& TT his Tory allies, as the only
party from whom the Irish people can
expect any redress of their grievances.
In short metre. Mr. johns r edmond adj
vises the Irish lamb to repair to the den
of the English Tory wolf, in order to OBJ

while "factories'' were hard to move
even at Sd and I'd, and farmers makes

proved very slow and a great lot OF pro-
duce was left unsold.
