"POOR PUSSY."

[TO THE EDITOR Or THE SPECTATOR.")

Fm,—Reading the article in the Spectator in which the action of the Government in Ireland is compared to that of a man who says " Poor pussy " to a tiger, reminds me of a speech made by a Nationalist leader, Mr. T. Walsh, at a large meeting nine years ago, in which he said "Let us all be ready, and when England gets into trouble with European Powers, ire will pounce on her a ill the ferocity of a tiger."—1 am, Sir, Sc., UNIONIST.
