The remains of Terence Bellew M'Manue were
yesterday (Sunday) taken, for interment in Olassevin Ce-
metery, from the Mechanics' Institute, Lower Abbey-
street, where the coffin has lain for public inspection for a
week. Preparations on • most extensive scale were made to
render the ceremony ma imposing one. Everyone interested
"in the welfare of Ireland" was invited to attend the
funeral, and innumerable scarfs and badges were in readi-
ness to be furnished to all who came for that purpose. At
about ten o'clock the place of rendezvous, Lower Abbey-
street, oommenced to 11l in, and as 12 o'clock approached
the entire street presented • scene rarely witnessed in
Dublin. There were at lima 12,000 persons congregated
in that particular place, while iu seckville-street and its
neighbourhood the flagway• were densely crowded. AU
thoroughfare was stepped in Abbey-street, although • pea-
sage was kept clear up to the Mechanic; Institute, in order
to enable the officers of the ceremony to get up to the Hall.
At about half-put 12 o'clock arrangements were set on foot
to-remove the coffin from the Lecture-halL There were large
au-mbar% collected within. The Rev. Patrick Lavelle, P.P.
recited the De Projoisdis, in which the assembly joined:
Anieept them were several members of the Americas " De-
putation." The coffin—supposed to contain the remains—
was taken out through the hall into Abbey-street
ea the shoulders of the men. The crowd outside
uncovered, and the men was placed upon the
funeral ear, attached to which were six hones
with outriders. At 1 clelock the procession started.
The line of the or/lige was kept dear by eight persons—some
of them discharged members of the Pope's Brigade—who
rode on hired horses, and wore a professor' of cram. There
were two brass beards—Kelly's and that of Inddeore—in

I was followed by Wee. Smith O'Brien, Richard COVanDkno

Ash., the Rev. Mr. Courtney, Wee. Kelly, and M. A. O'Bren-
me. The Americas "Deputation" was followed by the
county deputations with scarfs and bends. The procession
Included about 20,000 people, principally of the lower
ordem, mixed with some respectably dressed persons. It
. proceeded from Abbeyotreet, along Gardiner-divot, Britain-
lastreet, Capel.streek Ormoed-quay,Victeria-bridge,fitephen's•
ne, James's-street, Monies-street, Corn-market, High-
street, Cork-street, Cork-hill, Dame-street, College-green,
Westmoreland-street, Peekvill•-street, Blessington-street,
on to the Finglas-gate up to the Cemetery. When the
milk was taken down from the ear it wu found exceedingly
difficult to approach the place of intercom* owing to the
vain crowd which had collected within. Some trees were
broken down in the extreme confusion which ensued. After
considerable delay the coffin was brought to the ground *ear
O'Counell's monument. The Rev. Patrick Ladle read the
De Prolundis b the aid of torches, which it vu neeemary
to light, as by this time the darkness had set in. When •
haring could be procured, a Mr. N. C. Smith, from Cali-
fornia, came forward and delivered an address over the
grave. The following are extract* from it :
Fdlow-countryrnen,—A few mouths ago the sacred trea-
sure we have just committed to the hallowed soil of Ire-
land, lay in *grave thousands of miles away, by the waters
of the vast Pacific. We lave raised him from that gays,
and with feelings that Do king has ever woo ever
command—have borne him over a continent and two seas—
the greatest space over which the dust of man has ever
base married by the kith, love, and power of his kind.
Even you, who in the teeth of oppression have with sub-
lime tenacity clung to the home where flan you felt a
mother's love, cannot realise the anguish of the exile,
doomed to die and leave his bones for ever in a foreign
land. Oa his soil, if not the barest of his race, the
shadows of death close in trailing, unutterable sentries—
Oh, God ! that this should be the doom of say Irishman,
much more of op. who lived and died for Ireland I
Yet this was the doom of many a noble patriot of
our Lod. Alas! they fell on evil days. Bat sew, with al-
most half her so in arms, and all the others ; sou hallo( in
their cbaius, the stricken mother takes her latest martyr to
her breast. Who an challenge his right to rest there,
honoured sod revered! Unawed by danger—unmoved by
arginneat orentreety —to the last he remained faithful to
his country and hie chief. Who can forget his manly bear-
ing to the deck, the 'David ship, and the penal settlement?
And whom, by • bold sad honourable effort, once mores
freeman amongt the free, he shows .nimseli still the memo—
faithful to the people, believing io them, loving them, de-
voted to them, he would rather take blame to himself than
let fall a word that might slur the manhood of our sacred
isle. Par from seeking, or allowing othsrs to seek, pardon
for whet he Waved the glory of his Ida, every attempt
I to intercede for him he repudiated with strong disdain.
; A freeman, or a soldier brief/log freedom, he would return
, to the land that bore him, else would be never see her
shores again. He never saw them more ! That coffin speaks
of more than hope to-day, for it gives as faith and stern
resolve to do the work for which Mlfanns died. What
honours could over-guerdon the worth of such a man ?
Great, however, as we knew that worth, and deeply as we
love and revere his memory, it is not to the individual
patriot that this national funeral, with all its grandeur and
solemnity, has been accorded. In our minds out there the
spirit of Irish liberty went had in hand with the spirit of
the dead. We believed that the funeral of M'llaeus would
. test the truth. If the Irish people, we removed, fail to
, know this ma, we shall look on them as a doomed race.
, It, on the other hand, they show the feeling and the power
we would fain believe vital among them, then shall we re-
, turn to our brothers re*cing, coolideut is our country's
, future, and for ever and ia all ways bound to the cause for
which M'Mauus died. We have always been so sure of
, our brothers in America that what we saw in New York
gave us no warpririe. It is only about the men at home that
. we could have had a doubt at all. A greed and Kamm
, greeting awaited the martyr's ashes et the Dublin Station,
, where MO or 400 eve with uncovered beads, and in Irene-
, I ential 'deuce, stood ready to convey the funeral car to the
hall in which the wicred treasure had since lain in state.
Fellow-countrymen, you have accomplished a great as well
ass holy work We day, and I congratulate you with all
my heart and soul, leaving to the future the uoveilment of
its full significance. With the knowledge of your power,
this grand result should teach you the great, the essential
, virtue of self-reliance. Why did you ever doubt your cape-
, bilitiee ? You, the strong of heart and arm, are also strum
im intellect—in the practical faculties needed to complete
your toiL Employ these faculties wisely—without noise
or bustle, and with untiring persistence in the interests
of your country, and the day for which our fathers yearned,
struggles', fought, and suffered cannot now he very far off."
, At the coneltudon of this composition the clay was thrown
In, and the Rev. Abid Lavelle then in a loud voice directed
the crowds to disperse " peaceably and in order." The
request was complied with by the majority present. After
a cousiderable time the pleas was almost perfectly clear.

BRERCE-LOADINO ORDNANCE.

A large breech-loading gun, of Sir William Arm-
strong's eoestruction, but having the aposratue for chafing
the breech arranged to week from the side, as es by
him at a recent meeting of the Institution of Civil inemq
was last week tried for quick and continued firing by the
Ordnance Select Committee. The weight of the gun was
little over four toes, the shot weighed 1141 b., and the
charge used was 141 h. The trial was made at the Wool-
wich proof butt, sad 51 consecutive rounds were
fired in 46 minutes and 15 eecoode. At the end et the
iftesoth round the shot bepa to pain through
the butt, and the gun and carriage had in emcee-
gamier to be removed to another platform, whore the butt
presented a sounder face. The tins* lost by this operation
was 13 minutes sad 20 woods. At the 28th and 30th
roue& a block of wood, forming part of the temporary car-
riage used on the ocoaioa, became loose, and the time lost
in securing it amounted to 11 minutes. nodosity( these
stoppages, whioh were not attributable to the pa, the time
occupied in tiring the 51 remade wee Daly 21 minutes and 86
seconds, I. which time the total weight of shot dimairged
from the gun was upwards of 2) tons.
The average rate of firing was about 26 woods per round,

VeLv.cruns Ix A Due Foster.—A corre-
spondent of the Therms, Courier relates the following in-
cident, which occurred in a deer forest In that county last
week, and which was nearly attended by fatal °ore-
queries. :—" Four young men, members of a rifle eine, de-
termined to try their skill as marksmen by having a day's
sport among the antlered denizens of the forest. They
started early in the morning, and in due time arrived, full
of ardour and hope, at the place of rendezvous, and were
not long in getting targets enough to put their shooting
qualities to the test. The superiority of their
rites was soot) demonstrated by the death of two
noble stags. Fearing, however, that the loud report of
their fowling-pieces might bring the foresters rather nearer
theta than was desirable, it was considered pendant to
demist, sad in the meantime one of their numbs, wee
despatched to the nearest farm-steading for a horse on
which the booty might be carried borne, and suet orders
were issued to him to be at a certain place in the forest
at a given hour. The maseesser arrived with the berm at
the time and plate spposeted, and as it was now about
the dusk of the overdo( he was ordered to remain where
he was until they coats drag the lifeless stags to
the place. The lad, thaw a little impatient at their
long tarrying, lad the hers he as 111117•011011 is the sear
neighbourhood of whirs he stood to endeaVour to deeery
them. The other party at this moment aoticiog what they
took to be another stag on the top of the bill, without any
consultation simultaneously emptied their rites, and the
object in view being within easy range they were sere of
hitting the mark. This was actually the eme—one of the
lens went through the hone, the mooed pasetrated the
saddle, while the third tore to shreds the skirts of the lad's
coat, but happily without wounding him. The horse, a
toe young animal, was lolled on the spot, het how the
man escaped beakless under the eireemeasoes le • peat
