KR. TRAIN IN CORK.

CORK, WIDNISDAT Evennrc.
Mr. Train seeme to have been emboldened by
the impunity which attended his first lecture.
lais second harangue wam raneh more inflammatory
than the first, and-that deliverei: to-night was more
mischievous and exciting than any of its predeces-
ors. In his first lecture—which he avou'ed to be
sin experiment—Mr. Train limited himself to
use of the officials who had arrested hint n
Queenstown, and vague denunciations of England, I
• h some allusions to Fenian and to United States
politics calculated to awaken national passions.
Last night he trenched upon more dangerousground.
The bulk of the lecture consisted of abuse of Eng-
land and Englishmen, which was, of coarse,
most grateful to the unwashed mob com-
posing the majority of the audience. With
this, however, Mr. Train intervove remarks
which directly appealed to the passions of the dis-
affected. He spoke again of his arrest ; of the
terror with which his appearance seemed to have
Inspired the government officials ; and then asked,
el If they are so much afraid of one American
'Wien, in God's name what will they do when we
lit loose forty millions upon them l" The response
to this question was a ringing and prolonged cheer.
The cherished hope of the diaaffected lies in a war
wean
England and the United States, and Mr.
•n's hint at " Ireland's opportunity" was
urousty greeted. Again, Mr. Train alluded to
imprisonment of the hiah-American citizens in 1
bineTraad 41pquiced
the
4leaving theln at the mercy of
England. The English, he said, had sent
an expedition to Abyssinia to rescue her Fenian';
but America was too small, too weak a nation to
protect her citizens. The contrast artfully sug-
ei between the power of England and the
rinitedStates—another idea in which the disaf-
fected find consolation—was appreciated by the
audience, and loud and prolonged cheers assured
the speaker that his meaning was understood.
The sensation of the evening was produced by Mr.
Train's proposal that the United States should
purchase Ireland from the British government.
The Washington cabinet, he said, had already
paid a million sterling for a volcano, and on the
part of the United States government he offered
one hundred and fifty million dollars in gold
for Ireland. Here again the cheers of the audience
showed their perfect sympathy with the proposal.
These are but a few examples of the inflammatory
matter of the lecture. The idea inculcated
throughout was that the United States was friendly
to Ireland and hostile to England ; that hitherto
the United States had been tolerant of England,
from which she had received a series of injuries and
insults, but that this toleration could not always
continue, and then--. (The cheers of the mob
suggested forcibly their hopes of the future course
of events.) It is difficult to exaggerate the mischief
these harangues are doing here. The persons to
whom they are addressed are chiefly men and lads
of the lower classes, those who form the back-
bone of Fenianiam, who greedily receive every
statement, no matter how absurd, as to
the decadence of England ; entertain the
wildest hopes of succour from the United States,
and cherish the most exaggerated notions of the
power of the American Republic. To these people
Mr. Train presents himself as an American poli-
tician in the confidence of the American cabinet,
and his undisguised assurances of American gym-
pathy for Ireland are more calculated to keep alive
disaffection than all the writings of the Melanin,
or all the speeches of Mr. John Martin.
Mr. Train's lecture to-night was to have had re-
ference to the English national debt, the impending
great war in Europe, and the fall of Napoleon.
These topics, however, occupied but a small share
of his attention. He began by reading the de-
spatch he bad forwarded to the President of
the United States on the occasion of his
arrest. In this document the President is re-
proached for not having insisted with sufficient de-
termination upon the Alabama claims, and is ad-
monished to require England to pay those claims
or take the risk of war. Allusion is also made to
the Fenian raid in Canada, which Mr. Train says
was badly managed. These two points were loudly
cheered by the audience. Mr. Train next referred
to the Manchester executions, which he described
as a blunder. Then he talked of the " English
Fenians," who had obtained by fraud and
violence all the present possessions of Great
Britain. After this Mr. Train went on to de-
scribe the advantages which would result to
the United States from a war with England,
which would reconcile parties, and promote the
growth of native manufactures ; next Mr. Train
bestowed his attention on continental politics.
He described 'Russia and America as friendly to
each other, and hostile to England. France was
also hostile to England • and to France he hinted,
in some doggrel verses, 'lreland was to look for her
future ruler. After a wild talk, which very few of
his audience were able to follow' Mr. Train went
on to discuss the prospects of the great war.
