VISIT OF TILE PRINCE OF WALES TO
IRELAND.

The Dublin correspondent of the Times says that
the Prince of Wales intends visiting the Punches-
town races. His Royal Highness has taken a house
in the vicinity.

On Tuesday afternoon Mr. Crilly, M.P., was servea
with a summons informing him that it was the inten-
tion of the Crown to submit bills for conspiracy
against him to the grand jury of the country and not
to the city grand jury at the forthcoming commission
in Green-street, and calling upon Mr. Crilly to sur-
render and take his trial on February 8, Wherwise his
personal recognisances of £.500 will be forfeited.
Similar summons have been served at the residences
of Mr. John Dillon and Mr. William O'Brien. The
Crown have decided to abandon the charge against
Mr. Matthew Harris, M.P., who is lying seriously ill
at Ballinasloe.

Three young men of the farming class were brought
into Listowel on Tuesday morning, under a heavy
escort of armed police, and charged before Mr. George
Landes with attacking and beating three policemen
at Brosna, in the neighbourhood of Castleisland. The
prisoners were remanded.
On Tuesday the Dublin Chamber of Commerce
held their general annual meeting. Mr. Charles
Dawson, ex-Nationalist M.P., objected to the report
as not representing the views of the mercantile com-
munity in saying that they trusted the bonds of unity
between Britain and Ireland should be made, if pos-
sible, even closer than at present. After a stormy
discussion the report was adopted.
A. "campaign" sale was held in Mitchelstown on
Tuesday of the mercantile effects of Mr. Maurice
O'Sullivan, who has, with all the other Kingston
tenantry, adopted the "plan of campaign." A large
number of people wee present, and Mr. Condon,
M.P., who addressed the gathering, said they would
clear every shop in Mitchelstown as they had cleared
every farm on the estate.

On Tuesday night a large public meeting was held
at the Mansion House, Dublin, to consider the
question of Irish industries. The speakers included
the Lord Mayor, M.P., Mr. E. Dwyer Gray, M.P.,
Lord Brabazon, Mr. Murphy, M.P., and Mr. Charles
Dawson. The meeting, in a resolution, called upon
the public bodies in Ireland to do all in their power
to encourage the revival of Irish manufactures.
The Glenbeigh evictions were resumed ou Tuesday
morning, six families being evicted, but of these five
were reinstated as caretakers. The weather was very
bad, and a late start was trade. At one part of
the road the passage was blocked by a large tree which
had been newly cut down, but beyond this no obstruc-
tion took place. The man who was not reinstated
is named William Riordan, and he declined to become
a caretaker, "as he would be put out again in a fort-
night or 60." He was therefore evicted and left
standing beside his scanty furniture with his wife and
child, a drizzling rain falling as the sheriff's party
moved on to another house. The only man who made
a settlement with the agent was Timothy Sheehan. In
his case there was a decree for £6 10s. and costs, and
the tenant's offer was £5 on condition that he got a
clear receipt up to May next. This was agreed to,
and the tenant resumed possession. Amongst those
put iu as caretakers was Michael Grady, who had
met General Buller at Killarney, and with some other
tenants had entered into an arrangement which he
was unable to fulfil.
