There is to be a new Irish invasion of the House of Commons. So many people have of late demanded SU JOHN POWER & CO'S IRISH WHISKEY, that the Kitchen Committee have, I am given to understand, made up their mlads that the unla di spirituous liquors in the Palace of Westminister (on- Hccased) Is to be incressed by the illegal supply of popular measures of that well- known Dublin brand. The agitation for the laciusion of Power's Whiskey In the lists of liquors sappiled at the Honse bas was, I may mention, started no lar back as the beginning of last session. It was purely a matter of taste not of trade, and up to the present date, Sir JOHN POWER & Co. were 'In blank Ignorance of the whole affair."
