      George Anson discusses affairs in Ireland. He refers to some of the radicals including Mr Ward and Mr Warburton, and states that Lord Brougham called upon Mr Warburton to congratulate him on his return for Kendal. George Anson also mentions the contempt of the radicals for Lord Normanby and some hostile gossip about Lord Palmerston. He further states that the Whigs consider that apart from Lord Melbourne, Queen Victoria's sympathies are with the Tories. Incomplete.
