FENIAN MOVEMENT&

The "tuneraPl-procession at Dublin was leoked forward
to with some anxiety. A revised programme that WAS
issued contained the following arrangements :

" It is recommended that the male portion of the pro.'
cession will wear crape on their left arms, tied with green
ribbon as a mourning emblem. The ladies will display the
same emblem on their head-dress. The various trade
societies are recommended to march in bodies to the place
of assembly, and fall into the most convenient places in tho
procession.

" The committee request that all sympathisers will join
in the ranks of the procession, and not remain as spec-
tators along the line of route.
" The committee respectfully request that the licensed
vintners of Dublin will allow their shops to remain closed
during the day up to six o'clock p.m., to add to the
solemnity of the oocasion, and give their young men an
opportunity of joining the procession.
" The bands of Dublin, which, owing to the pressure oz
time, have not been specially invited, are respectfully re-
quested to give their assistance to this national demonstra.
tion.

" Peace, order, and regularity are to be the order of the
day. " God save Ireland 1

"By order of the Committee,

" JOHN MARTIN: Chal&ll.--91

The funeral passed off quietly. The day was very wet.
About 16,000 walked in procession, including 3,000 or
4,000 women and children. All wore green rosettes or
sashes and crape. Several thousands in the streets dis-
played the same emblems. Eleven bands played the
Dead March in " Saul," " Adeste Fideles," " Sa-
vourneen Dheelish," and other tunes. When pass-
ing the spot where Emmett was hanged, in Thomas-
street, the processionists uncovered heads, and many
cheered. On arrival at Glasnevin they were addressed by
Mr. John Martin, who denounced the " malignant policy"
of England, and said that the three men whose memory
they were met to honour were not murderers, but pious
and virtuous men, who feared God and loved their
country. For that love they were doomed to an ignomi-
nious death at the hands of the British hangman. The
death of those men was legal murder—the act of English
polley, the policy of the nation which, through jealousy and
hatred cf their nationality, had by fraud and force de-
stroyed their inder eldence. They had since endured
sixty-seven years of insult and robbery, of impoverish-
ment, extermination, and suffering beyond what any
other people had ever endured from a foreign master. A.
vast number of Irishmen whom oppression of English
rule forbade to live in their own country had in America
learned to become soldiers, and seemed resolved to make
war on England. She was in a panic in consequence, and
hoped to strike terror into Irishmen by legal murder. He
continued at some length in this strain.
The prisoners Francis and William Foley, James Ryall,
and John Deane, who are charged with being concerned
in the robbery of arms from the house of Captain Barry,
Ballyclough, have been brought up on remand at the
Fermoy Courthouse. The informations taken against
them had been submitted to the authorities in Dublin at
the request of their attorney, and the magistrates an•
nounced that the decision arrived at was that the accused
should be sent for trial at the Assizes on a charge of
`reason-felony.

A publican named Maguire, who keeps the Harp
Tavern in Newry—his sign being the representation of
a harp without a crown—was brought before the magis-
trates at petty sessions on a charge of having in his pos-
session an unlicensed pistol, together with a book of
instructions for the pike exercise, and receipts for making
explosive compounds. The discovery of the illegal articles
was made accidentally by the police while searching for
arms and seditious documents in connection with the arrest
of a lodger in the house on a charge of Fenianism. He
was bound in his own rccognisances to appear and take
his trial at the quarter sessions.
