DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING.

THE DERRYMACASH OUTRAGE.

An applioation was yesterday made before Mr.
Justice Fitzgerald, in chamber, for the admission
to bail of the 10 prisoners charged with being im-
plicated in the disastrous riot which took place
near Lurgan, on the 12th of July last.
The Attorney-General, on the part of the
Crown, opposed the application as regarded four of
the:prisoners, named Tate, Wright, and Humphreys,
because of the evidence against them being " dis-
tinct and specific." There was no objection to the
discharge of the other prisoners on sufficient bail.
Mr. Justice Fitzgerald said
" The Crown having consented to the bailing
of six of the accused, no difficulty could arise in
their cases. With respect to the remaining four
prisoners, the Attorney-General resisted the mo-
tion on the ground that the charge against each
of them was so serious that he could not be respon-
sible for their appearance to take their trial, and
thus satisfy justice, if they were now liberated.
He confessed that he felt the Attorney-Gene-
ral had exercised a wise discretion in opposing
the motion. One of the wounded parties had died
and whether or not the case might resolve itself
into a charge of malicious homicide against the ac-
cused, there remained the high and serious offence
of firing at with intent to kill, which would entail
upon the Humphreys and Wright the responsibility
attaching to the act of Tate. Without intending to
prejudge the case in any way, he felt it to he of
such a nature as to preclude him from liberating
the accused from bail without the consent of the
Crown. He would therefore say no rule' on the
motion so far as Tate, Wright, and the two Hum-
phreys were concerned, leaving it to them, if they
were so advised, to review his decision next term,
by an application to the Queen's Bench, and thus
obtain the opinion of judges of greater experience
than himself. The other prisoners might be dis-
charged."

It was ordered that the six men in reference to
whom the Crown assented should stand out on giv-
ing their own bail in £5O each, and two sureties
each in £25, to appear and take their trial at the
next assizes.

LETTER FROM THE " HOLY FATHER."

The Tipperary Free Press has had the honourable
distinction conferred upon it of being first permitted
to publish the translation of a letter lately received
in Clonmel from the Holy Father, in reply to an
address of sympathy from the Roman Catholic in-
habitants of that town forwarded to his Holiness
some months since. The Free Press states that the
letter was written so far back as April, but that a
communication has been received from "an eminent
ecclesiastic in Rome, apologising for the delay in
its transmission, which was caused by the disturbed
state of affairs in the Eternal City."
Certainly one
would think that an apology was needed under the
circumstances :

THE SUN.
LONDON, THURSDAY, OCT. 17, 1860.

Oar young Prince is now taking his lessons on
Republicanism. When he first came in contact
with it at Detroit it seems to have almost suffocated
him with kindness, or with curiosity ; but through-
out all, the son of a Queen, and the great-grandson
of the " horrible tyrant," comported himself to the
entire satisfaction of the great-grandsons of those
who rebelled successfully against the tyrant.
Perhaps in that part of the States, however, no
large proportion of the inhabitants are natives,
much less great-grandsons of natives ; but even the
Irish settlers there seem to forget their old anti-
pathy to the Sassenach, for one of them rode back
to him after having taken his farewell, to assure
him that " If he would come back four years hence
they would run him for President !" a compliment
which the hereditary Prince doubtless fully appre-
ciated.

He soon found himself, however, where he was at
least free to enjoy himself free from crowds. His
visit has also furnished us with two or three
more attempts to describe what all travellers pro-
nounce to be indescribable—the Prairie. Niagara
and the Prairie are the two things on which all who
see them cannot help saying something—and we are
thankful for it—at the same time they all agree in
the same preface or conclusion, that to form any idea
of them, they must be seen. The boundless oeean
of land, the long waving Prairie grass, and the
magnificent flowers interwoven with it, and the
prairie fires, must form a spectacle worth exchang•
ing with the Alps, and their, too frequently,
fatal dangers. Not that the Prairie is without its
dangers. The awfully splendid fires may be blown
towards you, and you may soon lose yourself in the
level or succession of uniform undulations ; but
there is the resource of firing the grass before you,
and if you have forgotten your compass, and the
sun and stars are invisible, there is, it seems, the
friendly compass-weed, whose leaves always point
due north and south. Here, however, the PRINCE
found another attraction. There was game of
various kinds, especially the much-coveted prairie-
hens, a species of
grouse. Surely, next season,
numbers of our sportsmen will visit the far west.
There they will have
game enough, from the buffalo
which
to the smallest species, will furnish them
infinitely more manly and
exhihrating sport than
that poulterers' amusement—sport we will not call
it—of battue shooting.

Baron RENFREW, as we ought now to term him,
had a peep also at slaves and slave States. In fact
this was the greatest novelty he had to see. The
game he might perhaps have found specimens of in
the Zoological Gardens. They could at least be
brought to England ; but, happily, a slave he can-
not see in his native land. He must go to the
great Republic for that. The grandsons of those
who were GEORGE subjects have 'emanci-
pated all their slaves, and never would allow this
island to be tainted with the breath of slavery ;
the grandsons of those who founded the great Re-
public have multiplied their slaves to millions, and
glory in their shame. Not much, for his comfort,
did Baron RENFREW see of this disgust-
ing institution. Missouri, through which
he passed, is losing its slaves, and fast becom-
ing
" Republican" in the technical sense—that is
desirous to limit, control, and finally to get rid of
the
curse of the country.
He •
la now, however, in the American political
capital, and has inen cordially welcomed by the
PRESIDENT. All seems to be good-will and plea-
