THE FENIAN EXECUTIONS IN MANCHESTER•

Up to to-day (writes our Manchester correspondent,
yesterday) no intelligence had been received from the
Home-offloe of any disposition to commute the sentence of
death into any lighter form of punishment. There are
large and imposing military demonstrations in the streets
of the city every day this week. To-day the Hussars the
57th Regt. and the 72ndHIghlandere have marched through
the leading streets, and a detachment of Royal Artillery,
having with them four Armstrong fieldpiece., which it is
said are on Saturday to becharged with grape and canister.
It Is said that 8,000 troops are to be housed in the neigh-
bourhood by the end of the week, though we learn that
the Home Secretary has declined to allow any military to
be placed in the narrow street alongside the New Bailey,
where the gallows is erecting. The only force here is to
be a strong guard of police and special constables.
The Manchester Examiner says : The names of a
number of gentlemen well known in this city have been
added to the committee formed to obtain a oommutation
of the sentence on the prisoners. On Monday the me-
morial was placed before the public, and obtained 3,000
signatures. We understand that among the signatures to
a memorial brought from Dublin to the committee here,
are those of Cardinal Cullen, the Lord Mayor and Town.
clerk of Dublin, and many others of equal note."
A large meeting was held at the Lambeth Baths last
night (the Rev. G. M. Murphy in the chair), at which a
memorial was unanimously adopted for presentation to the
Home Secretary, which, while repudiating all sympathy
with Fenianism, and discountenancing the proceedings at
the Home-office on Monday, prays for a commutation of
the sentence on the prisoners.
Yesterday evening a meeting was held on Clerkenwell.
green to take into consideration the circumstances con-
nected with the refusal of the Home Secretary to receive a
deputation on the previous day. There were about 1,500
or 1,600 present. Mr. Clegg, who presided, said that on
Thursday night, however, there would be a great aggregate
meeting on Clerkenwell-green, when a memorial would be
adopted which would be taken for presentation to Wind-
sor on Friday. He would not pretend to say what would
be the result if that memorial were refused. He had to
impress upon the meeting that Mr. Campbell bad gone to
Manchester to organise deputations. Mr. Richardson,
from Lambeth,eaid he had just rend the Queen's speech, and
he did not see in it anything which was matter for encour-
agement. It was stated in that speech tobe the intentionof
the government to putdowu Fenianism with the strong hand
of the law. (Never.) The only way in which tho government
could successfully put down Fenianism was by doing
justice to Irishmen. It would never put down Fenianisn
by Calcraftism. Mr. Finlen was received with rapturous
applause. In the course of a long speech he said he ap-
peared before them that night under very peculiar einem-
stances. Re did not know that he should have another
opportunity for some time of addressing a public meeting
in this country. Only half an hour since he had received
a letter from a friend of his and of the people, offering him
not only hospitality but concealment, as he bad heard that
he was about to be arrested for what he had stated at the
Home-office. (Hines and groans.) He should make no
defiant statement ;be did not court, on the contrary be
shrunk from the inside of a gaol, but he could not shrink
from the performance of a plain duty, when he considered
that by so. doing he could serve the interests of his colicky
from being sacrificed, or could help to save the
lives of the four unfortunate men at Manchester.
He impressed upon all who felt the importance of the
present crisis to be orderly, to recognise the law, to
make no assault upon authority. Their first step in carry-
ing out a great constitutional movement on Monday was
defeated because the Home Secretary, the representative
of an aristocratic, and perhaps meet callous government,
refused to receive their memorial. (Shame.) On some
occasions in the past moral force had not been wanting in
its effect upon the government, and if they wanted to be
successful now they must swell that force. This was
only one of a series of meetings to be held on that green,
and, as he wss told throughout the country. No doubt the
culminating importance of what they could do there would
take place next Thursday night, when Irishmen and Eng-
lisbmen would march together with one fraternal resolve
from all quarters of the metropolis, heeded by their bands.
He complained that the Dad y Telegraph had n.isrepre-
seated their case, but he did not care for the opinion of
that paper, which was the fint to hound on the govern-
ment to issue the special commission by which the unfor-
tunate men at Manchester were convicted. and it was that
paper which said of the poor men while they were on their
trial that they looked so hopeless that they had evidently
given themselves up already to the bands of the hangman.
(Tremendous groans, and cries of "Judas.") Those un-
happy men had only followed in the footsteps of such
worthy men as Robert Emmett, Lord Edward Fitzgerald,
and Smith O'Brien. Messrs. Thomas, Osborne, O'Cal-
laghan, and others addressed the meeting, recommending
that the moat determined exertions should be made to
get thousands of men to the mass meeting on Thursday
night, so that the government would not be able to treat
L with contempt the memorial they would on the following
day endeavour to present, and the meeting then quietly
separated.
