The. rapid fall of the Stocks this week, has excited
a general alarm it, the City. Consols, which hypo
yesterday at 66i,, closed at 6542. and Pmniutn was

Etupeeor A t.i.xotoen begins to feel much anxiety

• The question of the Union seems, and most de.
servedly, as one of the highest importance, teenage
a great part of the national attention in Ireland,
and he agitation in Parliament will probably be
attempted. It is a fart, not generally known, that
several years after the Union of Scotland with 6onth •
Britain, a proposition touching its repeal, was made
