THE RELEASE OF THE FENIAN PRISONERS.

The promised meetings of the advocates for the
release of -the Fenian prisoners took place on
Sunday. At Cork, Limerick, Ennis, I%lullingar, and
other places demonstrations were held, and each of
the assemblages passed a resolution declaring they
had no confidence in any message of peace which
was not brought by the men now held in
prison for political offences by the British
Government. The most important of these
protests was made at Cork by some 5,000 persons.
The trades of the city marched in procession,
headed by three bands. • Mr.
.Healy, a publican;
presided. Mr. Merriman, of London, sup-
ported the resolution. He said English people
desired the release of the prisoners, and charged Mr.
Bruce with misrepresentation. Mr. O'Sullivan,
another publican, said if the Government did not
grant a relase now, they would be obliged to do so
when the opportunity came. In Dublin, on the same
doy, the funeral of the wife of one of the Fenian
prisoners was attended by some 2,000 persons.

THE ORANGE FESTIVALS IN THE NORTH OF
IRELAND.

The apprehensions of a disturbance in the north
of Ireland during the July anniversaries of the
Orange body seem to be shared by Orangemen
themselves. It is creditable to them that they are
taking means to prevent any uproar. All their
organs counsel moderation of demeanour ; and the
question is raised whether all banners and scarves
shall not be abandoned for the time. An address to
the Orangemen of Pomeroy, a district in the
county of Tyrone, has been issued, in which
the writer advises his brethren—because "in
these times it is most necessary to exercise forbear-
ance "—to abstain from any vain display of colours
or music. He counsels them to meet in numbers to
protest and to shew determination ; he warns them
that they may yet have to fight for the temples of
their God, but he calls upon them to meet in humi-
-I:ty, to be cautious, and to drop at such a time the
" vaunting emblems of triumph."

THE VISIT OF TEE VICEROY OF EGYPT.

The visit of the Viceroy has, happily, roused the Court
some:Nhat. The Windsor Review, given in honour of
his Highness, was attended by the Queen, by the
Prince of Wales and his Princess, by the Princesses
Christian, Louise, Beatrice,and Mary of Teck,byPrince
Arthur, and by lords and ladies in strong force.
The fine weather and the distinguished visitors made
the review one of the most successful displays which
have been held in England of late years. Nor did her
Majesty's movements end with the review of Saturday.
The following clay she visited the camp, where the sol-
diers who had been inspected on the previous day were
" dwelling in tents," and she attended divine service
with the military. In the evening of the same day her
Majesty re-visited the camp, and seemed most in-
terested in all that was going forward. The Viceroy
was taken to the Zoological Jardens, and dined with
the Duke of Cambridge and the Prince of Wales.
Meanwhile some warnings to persons in high
pieces are being utt( red by the press. It is stated
that the Sultan was actually applied to for presents
when he visited this country. That such things
should be on the part of menials is bad enough, but
when gentlemen and men of title demean them-
selves in such a way, they ought to be smartly
informed that they are compromising the nation's
hospitality. It is to be hoped that they will not
serve the Khedive as they did the Sultan.
