FENIAN DEMONSTRATION.

- --
A monster demonstration was held in Phccaix
Park, Dublin, on Sunday to petition for the re-
lease of the Fenian oonvicts at present confined
In English prisons. About 50,000 persons wore
present, most of whom wore emblems of green.
The trades marched in procession, without bands
or banners. No police or military were seen in
the Park. M. Smyth, M.P., in the course of
his speech. denied that the Manchester outrage
was murder, and said they went forth in a pub-
lic road in open day to give honourable battle
for the rescue of their chief. No base, no sor-
did motive actuated them—(cbeers). On the
contrary, they had obeyed the noblest
impulse that could ever inspire the human
breast. Sergeant Brett fell,not by the assassin's
bullet, but as a soldier falls in defence of his
flag—(hear). All morality, ancient and modern
—all dyilization, Pagan and Christian, and the
conscience of mankind, the noblest instinct of
the human breast, attested that the Manchester
rescue was a deed of heroism—(loud cheering.)
If the prisoners were criminal then he too was
a crimiraal, because, with the exception of taking
human life, he had done as they did, in rescuing
John Mitchel in Van Dieman's land.
gr. Hatt, Q.C., argued that the amnesty, to be astir
hotor 7, should have been general. He said that the
miagovernment and coercion which could never trample
down Ireland would, if continue!, lay the British
Crown in the dust.
The people, when returning from the meeting, at
hall-past eh o'oloak, attacked a division of the police
patrol with stones at Bridewell-lane, where there is a
00.11 mi-boom The polies charged ; but the mob re-
formed, and repeatedly meowed the attack. The riot-
ing ecoatinued for upwards of four hoars. No less
than fifty-two policemen ware wounded, some seriously,
and including several Inspeolors. The number of
rioters wounded is sot known. Up to midnight, the
polies had emoted about twenty prisoners.
