Ireland still ferments as if it would burst its cork.
Mr. O'Coar- NELL has been to Connemara, to see if the wild Irish of the West " hate the Saxon " as much as their countrymen in other districts. He found the people quite ready to be led against "the Saxon," but he told them to wait till he should give the signal. Mean- while, the agitation against rents continues in Carlow, and it has extended to Tipperary : there is a long list of places where the produce of farms has been carried away, out of the land- lord's reach, in order to frustrate his claim for rent. In Carlow and Tipperary, the social disorganization, of which certain priests gave " warning," has begun ; throughout other counties the materials of rebellion have been collected and inspected, and lie ready for use. In the Repeal Association, the naked spirit of re- bellion has appeared : Mr. Commit has proposed that no taxes or other public payments should be made until Repeal be carried. Mr. JOHN O'Coxesx.r. succeeded in quashing the indiscreet gentle- man who was for beginning too soon ; but the hidden knife has, through this carelessness, been shown ; and there is no proof that Mr. CO1VNOR is a monster among the Jrish—a thing without a like. The discipline of the Corn Exchange has been too strong for him ; but he is an index of the feelings which have been exasperated about the country. It looks doubtful whether the peace of Ireland will hold out even till next session of Parliament.
