There is to be a new Irish lawasion of the House of Commons. So many people.bars of late demanded Sir JOHN POWER & CO'S IRISH WHISKEY, that the Kitchen Committee have, I am given to understand, made up thefr minds that the sale of spirituous liquors in the Palace of Westminister (un- Icessed) is to be facreased by the illegal supply of popular measures of that well- known Dublla brand. The agitation for the inclusion of Power's Whiskey In the list of liquors supplled at the Housa bass was, I may menilor, started so far back as the beginning of laat session. It was purely a matter of taste not of trade, and upto the present date SL JOHN POWER & Co. were in blank Ignorance of the, whole affair,"
