DUBLIN, Dec. 9.

The metropolis was yesterday the scene of some
of the most extraordinary political demonstrations
which have ever been witnessed iu this country,
familiar as it unfortunately is with every form of

popular agitation. It is a suggestive commentary
upon the charges of tyranny in which the domestic

enemies of the British Government indulge that
such a disloyal demonstration could be deliberately

undertaken and carried out while the embers of

rebellion still smoulder and extraordinary powers

have been intrusted to the Executive for the

protection of the public pea Ce. Surely a more
striking exareple could not be presented of the

forbearance with which England, conscious of
her power, treats those - who ostentatiously avow
that they regard her with malignant hatred, and
long for an opportunity to effect her overthrow.

No more conclusive answer perhaps could be offered
to the misrepresentations of persons who seek to

malign her to foreign Slates, and presume to con-
trast, to the prejudice of her character, her conduct
to refractory and implacable subjects with the

rigors of continental despotism. But a serious ques-
tion arises, whether this policy of forbearance does
not involve too great a risk and some injustice to
the classes which are loyal to her, and may not be

pushed too far. The demonstration yesterday was
one of no ordinary character, such as under a free
constitution might be expected. No one who
viewed it in the light of past experience could fail

to see that it contained some elements calculated to
inspire alarm. It was so regarded by people, who
are far from desiring to curtail the reasonable
liberty, while they dread the unrestricted license, of
a disaffected populace, whose minds are influenced
by incendiary appeals, and to some extent imbued
with socialistic principles. Fenianism, bafil,ad acid
defeated in its attempt to wage war with English
power, has fallen back upon tits lines of what may
be thought a moral force agitation, and a political
reaction, it may be feared, will set in, which will be
far more dangerous than any we have yet seen. If
the effect of the demon stralion were merely local or
temporary, the Government would have perhaps
little reason to regret that they allowed it ; but well
disposed and loyal people naturally fear that it will
give a new impulse to disaffection, and be followed
by serious consequences in other parts of the coun-
try. They are concerned to see treason stalking in
the midst of the populace and obtaining sympathy
and shelter. They apprehend mischievous results
from such a fusion of Fenianism with the political
discontent of the multitude that it will be difficult
to separate the baser from the better metal. A
stranger visiting this city yesterday might have sup-
posed, if he judged from the emblems which were
displayed, that it was in the hands of the Fenians.
It might be difficult to persuade him that all who
wore it did not adopt it as the symbol of rebellion,
but only as the national colour which they had
worn on other occasions of constitutional displays.
The fact that it was prescribed and worn by Fenians
gave it another significance. It would be hard to
make him understand that thousands who would
be ready to join in ant• manifestation of dissa-

tisfaction with the British Government would
recoil from the idea of taking part in it if they as-

sumed the form of armed rebellion, although they
did not hesitate to march along with others who
are prepared to take the field if they saw any chance
of success. In a display such as that of yesterday
the unthinking and the wavering are brought into
dangerous association with more recklesS spirits.
The movements of bodies of men together also afford
a means of military training which secret conspiracy
cannot of itself enjoy. Had the Government
thought it right to suppress the demonstration it
would have had, no doubt, to encounter some
obloquy, but there is reason to believe it would
have been sustained by the concurrence of the loyal
classes of all shades of politics, who look with ap-
prehension to the possible effects of such proceed-
ings. Had any citizen come forward to swear that
he apprehended an actual breach of the peace, the
authorities were quite prepared to prohibit the pro-
cession, but that is an invidious task which no one
felt disposed voluntarily to undertake, and so the
procession took place. As a political demonstration
it was imposing only iu regard to numbers, and
even in that respect not to such an extent as was
expected in a metropolis containing nearly 260,000
people, and recruited as it was from the sur-
rounding districts. No citizen of any social posi-
tion or influence, except one or two interested
parties, were engaged in it. There was not a
private equipage to be seen, not even a town
councillor's carriage to lend the semblance of civic
dignity to the display. No Roman Catholic
clergymen took part in it. The procession was com-
posed chiefly of well-dressed young men, women,
and children. The men belonged to the classes of
drapers' and grocers' assistants, clerks, mechanics of
various kinds, labourers, sailors, and coalporters.
Their comfortable appearance showed that they re-
ceived good wages, and were able in their class of
life to prosper under British misrule, as well as
thousands at the other side of the Irish Channel,
who are contented with their lot or anxious to im-
prove it by practical means, but who do not pursue
visionary objects and do not waste their time in
lamenting their country's grievances. They as-
suredly did not look like persons who had personal
reason to complain of the wrongs of Ireland. Of
the young women who graced the aray by their
presence the same observation might be made.
They were most of them girls who worked in fac-
tories, or workshops, or warehouses, who were able
to dress respectably for their rank in life, and who
seemed in excellent spirits even under such afflict-
ing circumstances.
The hour appointed for the procession to start
was 12 o'clock, and the rendezvous Beresford-place.
Those who are acquainted with Dublin need not be
told that here there is a large open space at the
north and west side of the Custom-house, which
stands parallel with the Liffey at the south-east end,
with two fronts, one looking towards the river and
the other towards Gardiner-street. The line of
houses forms the arc of a circle from a point on the

quay to the Custom-house Docks, which lie to the
east of the building. At a right angle with Gar-
diner-street, and parallel with the quays, Abbey-

street extends in a westerly direction, intersected
chiefly by Sackville-street, one of the main arteries
of the city, connected with the south side of the
river by Carlisle-bridge, and by Capel-street,
another artery, connected with Parliament-street
by Essex-bridge. It is crossed by several minor
streets, which it is not necessary to name. As the
hour for setting out approached, crowds • of people
flocked from every point towards Beresford-place.
At 12 o'clock the footways on Carlisle-bridge were
almost impassable from the throng. The interven-
ing sections of the quay and Abbey-street were also
filled with a dense concourse, all moving, or trying
to move, in the direction of the Custom-house. In
the roadway cabs and other vehicles passed to and
fro at a slow pace with comparatively little diffi-
culty. Had the weather been in league with the
British Government it could, hardly have been more
unfavourable. The observation is perhaps unjust to
the Government, which was only indifferent or neu-
tral, while the weather was decidedly hostile to the
demo.:stration. Up to Saturday night a fine clear
frost had prevailed and the streets were in excellent
condition. Their aspect, however, was sadly changed
yesterday. A drizzling rain began to fall at an
early hour, and as the day advanced it came down
in heavy showers. It certainly rendered wholly un-
necessary any dramatic affectation of melancholy on
the part of the processionists, for before they started
many of them were in a pitiable plight, and when
they had completed their funeral march they ap-
peared sincerely miserable. Before 12 o'clock the
place of muster was filled with the materials of the
procession collected in chaotic confusion. 1 hey ex-
tended for some distance up Gardiner-street and
down Abbey-street. There were temperance bands
in showy military garb, with gold lace and green
facings ; men baring white wands, some with white
plumes at the end, others tipped with yellow, and
having streamers of green riband. Crop and
green ribands were on the hat or arm of every man,
and hundreds of the fair sex displayed the " na-
tional" hue on their bonnets at least ; many of
, them were profusely decked in green. Numbers

wore green sashes, many of them embroidered with
shamrocks and other national devices, and some
with the-Irish harp—of course without the crown—.-
swung at the ends. From the faded appearance
of the latter, it was evident that they had been long
in the service, and paraded cn other occasions.
Green was everywhere the order of the day. News-
vendors and others were converted for the occasion
into haberdashers, and plied a prosperous trade in
ribands. The vast majority out of doors appeared
" with verdure clad." It was so general in the
streets that it ceased to be a mark of distinction ;
those only were remarkable who did not flaunt it.
How the assembly was marshalled in lines it would
Le impossible to say. A few mounted men with
wands extended rode here and ther, while others on
foot went about picking up the threads of the
tangled mass. At 12 o'clock a movement of the
crowd indicated that the head of the procession had
been pulled through into Abbey-street, and the rest
gradually unravelled and fell into its place. The
programme was substantially followed. In front
was a body of " picked men," eight abreast, in-
tended to give steadiness and solidity to the array.
After these came hundreds of the "youth of Dublin,'
boys from six to 16 years old, ten deep. These were
succeeded by a regiment of women, respectably at-
tire 1, who represented the "ladies" of the city. They
displayed the green profusely in their dresses. Three
hearses, followed by mourning coaches, hackney
carriages, and cabs, with masses of men, women,
and children between, were prominent features in
the procession. Behind the first Mr. John Martin
walked with Mr. A. M. Sullivan as chief mourner
for part of the route, but before it was finished his
age and feeble health obliged him to enter one of
the carriages. The first hearse had the name "W.
P. Allen" printed in sepulchral characters on a
cloth suspended at each side. On the top were
perched, amid the plumes, two wretched-looking
men, apparently helpers in the undertakers' stables,
whose appearance had rather a ludicrous effect.
Allen's sister, who, if report be correct, has been
engaged at all these funeral pageants, was stated to
be among those who had places in the mourning
coaches. The other hearses bare the names of
O'Brien and Larkin. As the line of procession I
coiled through the streets, the end received acces-
sions from fresh bodies of men who fell into the
ranks. No fewer than 11 bands marched with it
at long intervals between They played in truly
agonising style the " Dead March," " Adeste
Fideles," " The Sicilian Mariners' Hymn," " Sa-
vourneen Dheelish," and other pathetic airs. Men
were stationed at various points to see that the in-
structions for the orders of the array were strictly
observed, and the procession moved with wonder-
ful regularity and steadiness. had the day been
fine, it would probably have had au imposing ap-
pearance, but in some places, especially where the
lady contingents marched, it looked in the distance
like a moving forest of umbrellas. The streets
were covered seine inches deep with mud, through
which the dresses of the women, who had evidently
put on their most attractive finery to enjoy a holy-
day,
trailed and flapped in unsightly fashion, while
the flies of men had their best suits covered
but not adorned with drab embroidery. Alter
meeting some obstructions in the beginning of its
course—for all mourning was not political yester-
day, and there were some real funerals which crossed
the path of the mock one—the processionists passed
through the route prescribed in the programme.
When it reached St. Catherine's Church, in Thomas-
street, opposite the spot where Emmet was exe-
cuted, one of the officers who acted as guides re-
minded them of the fact and called upon them to
show that they revered his memory by taking off
their hats. This he did to each section as it
passed and the appeal was obeyed with reverential
formality. In some instances responsive ejacula-
tions were uttered by those who marched by, and
loud cheers were given. the " ladies" were not
the least demonstrative. Numbers of them cheered
with a stentorian power which was quite startling,
and iu the spirit of fun, which survived the depress-
ing influence of the day, took off their own and
their neighbours' hats as a humorous tribute to the
memory of the martyr. When the procession
reached College-green, after winding through
Winetavern-street, a portion of the South quays,
Parliament-street, and Dame-street, it stood in front
of the Bank of Ireland, and paid a smilar mark of
respect to the scene of the old Irish Parliament and

the volunteers of 1782. The men marched in
tolerably good order, and some of them with mili-
tary precision, halting at the word of command
and beating time. It is, of course, extremely diffi-
cult to form anything like a correct estimate of the
numbers, but counting the waves of the human

tide as it flowed past at one spot, where it was fully
developed, multiplying by the files, and computing
the whole time occupied in passing—an hour and
20 minutes—it may with tolerable confidence be
stated that the number actually in the procession
was under 16,000, of whom between 3,000 and
4,000 were women and children. In passing
up Sackville-street it was reinforced by some
collateral processions, which marched on the
footpaths, and thousands of others similarly at-
tired were in the streets as spectators. Along the
route they were saluted by waving of hand-
kerchiefs and green scarves from the windows.
Ten soldiers of the 86th, in their great coats,
partly open, walked in the procession.
Of the various trades there were computed to be
300 plasterers, 350 painters, 1,000 boot and shoe
makers, 500 bricklayers, 300 carpenters, 350 slaters,

THAMES.

AUDACIOUS SHOP ROBBF.RY.--William Tolridge,
a well-known thief, was brought up on remandle-
fore Mr. Benson charged with being concerned with
another fellow, not in custody, in stealing six
pieces of linsey and Cobourg cloth for ladier,'
drases, measuring in all 18D yards, from the shop
of Mr. Peter Jones, in Green-street; Stepney.
A few evening since the prosecutor iniss2d six
pieces of stuff and linsey, and he saw three
measuring 111 yards, at the station-home hi
Arbour-street East, adjoining the court on the
following morning. On the evening of the robbery
Stephen Moore, a police-constable, No. 170 K, was
on duty in Alfred-strew, Stepney, and saw the
prisoner and another man each with a load
on his shoulders. They passed him, and ap-
peared much disconcerted. They quickened
,their pace and looked behind them directly
they had- passed the constable, whose sus-
picions were excited. He walked towards them
and both thieves ran away. Moore pursued them
and called " Stop thief." The fleetest of the two
rogues escaped with his booty. The prisoner threw
his load from his shoulders, and ran into the arms
of Mr. Francis Huggins, of No. 23, Bridge-street,
Stepney, who looked in the direction which the
prisoner had come from, and found three pieces of
the stuff which the prisoner had thrown away.
The pieces were identified by Mr. Jones.
James Briden, a detective police sergeant, No.
4 K, stated that the prisoner had been twice con-
victed of larceny in the Thames Police Court, and
sentenced on the first occasion to three months'
imprisonment and hard labour, and on the second
occasion to four months' imprisonment and hard
labour.

Mr. Benson—l have no hesitation in committing
the prisoner for trial.

TIIE UNITED KINGDOM ALLIANCE.

The annual soiree of the London Auxiliary of this
association was held last night at the Whittington
Club, Arundel-street, Strand. Between 500 and 600 of
the members of the Alliance and their friends assembled
together and partook of tea, after which the general
meeting was held in the hall room. The chair was
taken by the Venerable Archdeacon Sandford, who was
supported on the platform by the Rev. S. A. Steinthal
and J. H. Raper, who attended as a deputation
'from the United Kingdom Alliance, G. Thompson, Dr.
Brewer, the Rev. J. Burns, Dr. Hardwicke, and various
other ministers and gentlemen. The report, which was
read by the hon. secretary, Mr. Williams, stated
that since the last annual soiree the London Auxiliary
had held numerous meetings and conferences in sup-
port of the cause, and that altogether during the year
upwards of 200 meetings, at which the aggregate
attendance was between 40,000 and 50,000 persons, had
been addressed by the advocates of the Alliance. One of
the means by which the Alliance had endeavoured to sup-
port the cause was by acting upon the electors with a
view of returning members who would vote for the Per-
missive Bill. The result had been that 13,000 circulars
had been sent to the electors of Westminster, South-
wark, Greenwich, Tower Hamlets, Finsbury, Lambeth,
and Marylebone, in response to which 2,707 had
expressed their approval of the Permissive Bill,
and in addition they had received the signatures of
704 supporters, whose names had been accidentally
omitted from the register this year. Special action was
about to be taken in reference to the City. The receipts
of the Auxiliary during the year ending November 25,
I amounted to £713 13s. 6d. This included a grant of £550
from Manchester. The whole of this sum, with the
exception of a balance of £3 odd, had been expended
in promoting the work of the Alliance. Addresses in
favour of the cause were afterwards made by the Yen.
Chairman, the Rev. S. A. Steinthal, Mr. G. Thompson,
Dr. Brewer, Dr. Hardwicke, and other ministers and
gentlemen, and resolutions were passed to the effect that
the permanent benefit to public health which would
accrue from the removal of facilities for drunkenness
afforded a powerful inducement to continue the Alliance
agitation ; that statesmen, ministers of religion, the
press, and public men of every class were under peculiar
obligations to support the abatement of national intem-
perance by ail constitutional means ; and that the impor-
tant work of influencing the electoral constituencies in
favour of permissive legislation required unremitting and
earnest cultivation. A cordial vote of thanks to the Yen.
Archdeacon concluded the proceedings, which were en-
livened by a series of choral performances by the City of
London Senior Band of Hope.
