a political crisis seems inevitaate in 1 1 eland. Mr. O'Coniiell has published a

singular letter addressed to the Reform

ers in England, which is attracting much

tttention and cresting no little excite

nent. The followiag is an extract from

ihe letter:

"There is blood on Ihe face of the

earth! The once grten fields of Walls

town are red with the latest Irish blood!

said I tha latestf Alas! before these

lines meet the eye of any one British re former, another taje of slaughter may

have been added to the daik catalogue of

crime and a more recent enormity may

have thrown the butchery of Wallslown

into comparative obtivon." In another part of the same sanguinary and inflammatory epistle, the whole of which is intended to prove that the "ma gitrate. military, and parsons, were trttspatttrt" and guilty of 'foul, unnatu rat mirder,"he has the following: " There is blood on the face of the earth! lilojd! Human blood profuesa ly shed ! IV ill it sink into that earth unno ticed and unregarded, or will it cry to Heaven i t tetiitoition and vengeance." Among ihe first fruits of the e eaciiiug appeal to hofl s I'oig, was the delib erate mwnier of two young men, who, repowing oiiti.leuce in the pledges of safe y of the pnets, had walked out tinalten ded.
