Mb. Butt, in a speech afc Wafcorford, alluded to fclie treatment of all Irish, subjects in a British parliament. He stated that he had Been many instances that were really laughable, but very serious, as to the treatment of Irish subjects in parliament. At about two o'clock in the morning all Irish subjects are brought on for discussion. At that hour in the morning the division bell often rings, and one can see crowds of members in white vests, half inebriated, and pushing up to the Whip, saying, are we ayea or are we noes, and then they aro told by the whip what to do (great laughter and cheeri.)
