There is to be a new Irish lovasion of the House of Commons. So many people have of late demanded Sir JOHN POWER & CO'S IRISH WHISKEY, that the Kitchen Committee have, I am given to understand, made up their minds that the sale of spidtuous liquors in the Palice of Westminister (an licezsed) is to be incressed by the Illegal supply of popular measures of that well known Dublin brsed. The agitation for the locusion of Power's Whiskey in the lists of iquors supplied at the House bars was, I may menilor, started so far back as the beginning of last ression. 'It was purely a matter of tante not of trade, and up to the present date Sir JOHN POWER & Co. were in blank ignorance of the whole affair!
