We have received the following by the Electric
Telepraph Company's Express :
DUBLIN, llsant 10.
The so-called Irish confederation held a meeting
last night, which was attended by about three thou-
sand persons. The placards posted around bore the
following words, " Courage, forgiveness, fraternity."
Some v-ry violent speeches having been delivered, the
meeting terminated, after which, a number of those
who had attended proceeded through the main streets
to the castle, when, finding thegates closed,. hey gave
expression to some gross and insulting remarks.

SCOTLAND.
EDINBURGH, MARCH 10.—" Lying like a dispatch"
was a proverb in the time of the first French 'tree-
lation, and there is some dagger of a similar dubiety
being attached to the revelations of the electric tele-
graph, unless some precaution be adopted ae to the
messages transmitted by its agency. In the cases of
the disturbances in Glasgow and Edinburgh, the
telegraphic descriptions have been sadly overcharged.
The startling intelligence that appeared in the
third edition of a Liverpool paper, that " Edinburgh
was in possession of the mob,' bus excited much mer-
riment here. Exactly 328 lamps, and some wiadows,
were broken, and the mob (a few hundred lads) re-
mained unchecked for half an hour or so, but that was
the head and front of the erneute. The greater
portion of the lamps demolished were in the
neighbourhood of the electric telegraph office, and,
on the principal that Paris is France, the
officials, in their consternation, appeared to have
seized their 0 handles," and " worked ' them furi-
ously, under the idea that the area in front of their
premises was Edinburgh. In Glasgow the directors
have wisely resolved to issue no electric bulletins re-
gerdieg the state of the city, unless signed by a ma-
gistrate. There the riots originated in meetings
of the unemployed—here they were caused by
a mere wish for mischief ; and in both places
they may saf ly be said to be quite over. They
have been instrumental in developing the existence
of conservatism in quarters where it might not at
first have been looked for. Thus, when the Edinburgh
college was named by the sheriff as a rendezvous
fur special coneables, the students volunteered and
were accepted as the pacificators of that portion of
the city ; and, not content with that, the ardent
youths profferred their services to the provost of
Leith, to assist in quelling an anticipated dis-
turbance in that quarter, but the prudent ma-
gistrate declined the honour. Then, what was
better still, the workmen in several large trading esta-
blishments offered their assistance, which was grate-
fully accepted. In Glasgow the members of the Athe-
neeum have formed themselves into a brigade, and are
to be regularly drilled; and, io fine, the determination
to repress rioting has been so generally expressed,
that there is no possibility of its attaining
any height, while, so far as the punishment of
the guilty is concerned, every effort will be made to
bring them to justice, even without the aid of the
magisterial reward of 1001., which, however, as an
indication of judicial determination, will also have its
itifluecce. Some outbreaks have taken place in Ayr,
Airdrie, and Kilmarnock, which were quickly sup-
pressed. It is understood that the operatives of Glas-
gow have determined upon a demand for higher wages,
and that the strike is to commence this mornieg, by
the men refusing their work.

DUNFEEISOLINE.—We have heard from Dunfermline that
all was quiet there on Thursday.
Al anute.—Reports having been current that disturbances
had broken out among the colliers and miners in the vicinity
of Airdrie, we (North British Mail) made personal inquiry
thruugh the district. The only manifestation on the part of
the colliers was a numerous mee:ing of their body, held on
'Wednesday, at rnid•day, is a field between Coatbridge and
Airdrie. The object of the meeting was to consider the
grievances under which they allege they labour, in regard to
a reduction of wages that ho'recently taken place. Those
assembled were quite peaceable, and nothing like inflam-
matory language was used on the part of any of the
speakers. The resolution finally adopted was the
appointment of a number of delegates to wait upon their
employees is the course of the evening, and make a proposi-
tion of 4*. per day. of wages. This deputation i. to report
to another and, it is expected, a much more numerous meet-
ing, which is to awemble to-night to hear the result. This
demand of the colliers, there is every reason to believe, will
not be complied with on the part of the employers ; and the
subsequent steps that may be taken by their workmen are
look rd forward to with considerable apprehension by many
of the inhabitants of Airdrie and Oostbridge. To prevent
any attack on property a company of the 71st Infantry was
despatched from Glasgow to this district ; and last night
considerable numbers of the respect ibis inhabitants were
sworn in as special constables. There may be discontent on
the part of the collier., but, from all we were able to learn,
it may be confidently stated that there is no sympathy on
their port with the disgrac ful proceedings of the Glasgow
mob. It is with them a question of wages, and nothing
more, though attempts are making to give it a different
