POSTSCRIPT TO THE WEEK'S NEWS.

SPECTATOR OFFICE, SATURDAY, Two O'CLOCK.

An Irish gentleman—a Protestant, a large landowner, and by family an aristocrat—thus writes on the state of his native country, and direct from the scene :- " We are agitated to a serious extent, much more violently than previous to the passing of the Emancipation Bill ; but as it is alto- gether a different description of excitement—no animosity amongst the lower orders, no feuds as to religious differences—unanimity prevails in their avowed abhorrence of tithes and high rents, to which they are organizing a determined resistance, which will, in my opinion, very soon become irresistible. The Union question is one between the aristocracy and democracy here. In England, the inviolability of the measure daily loses advocates, and the question -will yet be argued and decided in a R eformed Parliament upon its own merits. We shall lose, in my opinion, by the Repeal."
