THE IRISH BRIGADE.

The Cork Herald gives the following account
of the appearance of the men on their arrival
in the Cove on Saturday last :—The brigade numbers
close on 860 mien, The officers who were amongst
them were William J. Cronin, Michael Luther,
William Carroll, Peter Green, Edward Heany, and
Acting-Adjutant Kiernan. They were accompanied from
France by M. le Comte Escalle, and MM. Moutet and
De Poly, on the part of the committee formed in Paris
to receive and entertain them. The soldiers, all,
wilhont exception, speak in the highest terms of com-
mendation of the French people, and of General
Lamoriciere, for whom they entertain the most
ardent affection. During their short stay in France,
the very buttons of their coats Were earnestly sought and
" gladly accepted, by the ladies, as souvenirs of the brave
men who devoted all their powers of body and soul to
the cause in which they so generously and unselfishly
embarked, Their accounts of the people of Italy are not
at all flattering. They condemn the Italian soldiers as
cowards and betrayers, and say that they are not in-
debted to the populace of the country, except in a few
instances, for any acts of kindness whatever. They pre,
seated a fine soldierly appearance, despite the hardships
they have undergone, and are such soldiers as any
nation might be proud of. Their faces were deeply
bronzed by the sun of Italy. Most of them were dressed
in motley but picturesque costume. Some wore the
blue French uniform, and others hats of the latest
fashion, with which the Parisians generously supplied
them. Others were clad in red trousers and leather
gaffers, with blue coats and smart caps. For the most
part they bad all the appearance of French soldiers.
Their proud military bearing showed that they must
have been well drilled within the short time they
had for preparation. The English line could not
produce an equal number of men, of seven years'
service, having a more soldierly appearance. They all
agree in saying that their greatest delight would be to
return again to fight in the same cause, and under the
same illustrious and beloved general. They express
deep regret at the death of General Pirnodan, to whom
they give credit for being a brave man and the beau
ideal of a soldier, at the same time that they feel he was
not as partial to them as Lamoriciere. They account
for the death of Pimodau as being the act of the base
Italians under his command, who fired upon their cou-
rageous leader and then went over to the other side.
Notwithstanding that they all bear plain traces of
having undergone many hardships, and suffered great
privation, for there is a total, absence of the least
approach to obesity amongst them, and the greater
part of them are as thin as they can well be, they
are in excellent health, with the exception of one poor
fellow who got cold from a damp bed while in prison.
Several of them had wounds in the head, neck, arms,
legs, and other parts of the body. One poor fellow
had a leg taken off. They are all, however, in the best
spirits. They seem .as active as tigers, and as resolute
as lions. Their enthusiasm is as great, or even greater,
than when they left their homes for Italy. Imbued
with a deep faith in the justice of the cause they went
to uphold, and conscious of the purity of the sentiment
that urged them from their homes, they attribute their
miraculous escape, in their encounters with such pre-
ponderating numbers, and without the aid of field pieces
or even suitable muskets, to the interposition of Almighty
God.

RECEPTION OF THE CLARE CONTINGENT.

BY ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.

LIMERICK, Tuesday, Nov. 6.

The Clare men belonging to the brigade, after spend-
ing Sunday night in Limerick, arrived in Ennis yester-
day afternoon at 6.30 p.m., where they met with a
reception which for warmth .and enthusiasm, could not
have been surpassed. Such a demonstration has not
been witnessed in Clare since the days of the repeal
agitation. The multitude assembled at the railway
station to welcome them, headed by the clergymen of
Ennis, and the trades, with their banners and bands,
must have numbered several thousand persons. They
immediately formed, and preceded by flaming tar barrels
borne aloft, and the trades with their banners ii` ing
and bands playing Irish national airs, marched in pro-
cession to Carmidy's Hotel, where a substantial dinner
awaited them. Here the anxiety of the crowd to get
a clear glimpse of the men had to be satisfied by bring-
ing them to the windows. The men were entertained
right regally until eleven o'clock, when they separated
for their respective homes, highly delighted at the rezep-
tion and treatment they met with.

SENTENCE AGAINST MISS AYLWARD.

(BY BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.)
DUBLIN, Nov. 6.

Judgment was delivered to-day in the case of Mary
Mathews, which has been a long time before the Court.
It will be remembered that Miss Aylward, in reply to
the interrogatories, declared on oath that she had no
knowledge whatever of where the child had been placed
after removal from the nurse.

The Lord Chief Justice, in passing sentence, said the
Court were of opinion that Miss Aylward was guilty of
contempt, in disobeying the orders of the Court to pro-
duce the child, which it appeared had come into her
possession; and the sentence which it was their duty to
pronounce for that contempt of Court was that she be
committed to prison for six calendar months, and pay
all costs of proceedings.

THE POPULAR VERDICT OF AMERICA
ON THE CONDUCT AND BEARING OF
THE PRINCE OF WALES.

The New York Evening Post of the 23rd sums
up so well the popular verdict, that we copy its
language verbatim ;
The triumphant manner in which young Albert Ed-
ward has passed this ordeal has demonstrated not only that
his.natural- qualities are excellent, but that he has been
subjected to a most excellent system of training. Educa-
tion, in its most enlarged sense, is a result. We do not
look for its illustration in detail, any more than we
expect that a man's physical vigour shall be estimated by
the viands and other articles of diet on which he has
been reared. The intellectual regimen should be
apparent in the masculine, yet polished, bearing of its
subject. In this sense, we repeat, the young Prince
who has just left our shores carries with him indubitable
evidence of a rare and judicious cultivation. It is
infinitely to his honour and to the credit of those who
have moulded him that not one single instance has
been recorded of a breach on his part of the courte-
sies of life, or of the slightest display of unbecoming
temper to any one. His demeanour throughout has
completely realised the fair flower of the State. Cheer-
ful, affable, modest, and quiet, he has nevertheless
exhibited .all the manly qualities of a cavalier. A
superb horseman, he outstripped his companions in his
Canadian gallops; a good shot, he bagged more prairie
chickens than the messieurs of his suite ; enthusiastic in
the ball-room, he was the admiration of all the votaries
of Terpsichore who were witnesses of his boyish but
well-regulated delight; princely in his liberality, he
always did the right thing at the proper time, and left
everywhere, where humble service was required, striking
proofs of a thoughtful munificence.
In no part of the civilised world has Queen Victoria
been held in such profound respect as in the United
States of America, where a regard for the virtues which
adorn the female character rises paramount to all politi-
cal prejudice. We did not believe it possible that the
British Sovereign could have increased the admiration
with which she is everywhere regarded in the New
World. But the bearing of her son has proved that we
had not taken the full measure of her worth. The
Queen has governed, her family as admirably as she has
governed her kingdom, and of the heir to the British
Crown we may now say, with propriety,—
"England did never own so sweet a hope."

FELONY,--At the County Magistrates' Court, yester-
day, Lawrence Mtirphy was brought before Messrs. T.
Brocklebank and Thomas Bourne on a charge of having

road, with the articles in his possession. On being ques-

them from Mr. Owen. The prisOner was in the employ
of Mr. Owen, who is the proprietor of Tuebrook Asylum.
