A proposal is on foot for a Fenian procession lavd.
pool. Placards containing the following announcement
have been posted on the walls, and on Sunday handbills to
the same effect were distrluted at the doors of Roman
Catholic churches in the town : " To the Irishmen and
women of Liverpool and surrounding towns.—lrishmen,
are you satisfied with the strangling of three of your
countrymen by the common hangman of this country,
on Saturday, the 23rd November last? If you arc, thin say
no more about it ! If you are not, do honour to their
memory by assembling in tens of thousands on Sunday
December 15, at one o'clock, at Stanley-road, Kirkdale, and
there form a monster funeral procession. Wear a craps
band bound round your left arm, tied with green riband
be sober and orderly, and remember the advice of a great
Irishman, ' One imprudent act gives stength to the
enemy.' Let your motto be Remember Allen, O'Brien;
and Larkin.' The March : Scotland-road, Byrom-street,
Dale-street, Castle-street, Lord-street, Church-street;
Ranelagh-street, Lime-street, London-road, Seymour-
street, Russell -street, Rodney - street, Leece street,
Berry - street, Great George's - street, St. James's-
place, Park-read, to St. Patrick's Chapel. A
responsible committee is appointed, and in the mean-
time, as some expenses will be incurred, exert yourselves
come in your numbers, and shew the world how you look
upon the death of Allen, Larkin, and O'Brien, and the cans,
of their death—lreland. By order of the committee. 'Mari
dies, but his memory lives that theirs may not perish."
The authorities at once had the placards removed,•
and the persons distributing the handbills were warned
against the illegality of the proposed demonstration;
which, if attempted to be carried out, would be a viola-
tion of a local bye-law which was adopted some years ago
with excellent results, for the purpose of putting a stop
to the annual procession of Orangemen and of the Ili&
celebrations of St. Patrick's Day, which, prior to the
existence of the bye-law, produced periodical collisions
between -the two parties. The chairman of the Watch
Committee (Mr. Clint) and the head constable (Major
areig, C.D.) had an interview with the Mayor of Liver-
pool (Mr. E. Whitley), at the Town Hall, for the purpose
of representing the danger to the public peace which is
likely to follow the attempt to carry out the demonstra-
tion, owing to the probability of a collision with the Orange.
men. The Mayor, it is stated, will at once issue notices for-
bidding the procession, and will invite the Roman Catholic
clergy, who are believed for the greater part to discoun-

demonstration, to meet him in conk

ference on the subject.

The other evening a message was received at the Dian•
cheater Detective Department that Colonel Kelly was at
that time to be found in a beerhouse kept by John Nolan,
Acton-street, off London-road. Inspector Gill at once
ordered sixty men of the A division to be called in froM
their beats for the purpose of surrounding the house and
capturing the notorious Fenian. In a few minutes the
required muster was collected, at the Town Hall, and after
exchanging their bulls'-eyes for cutlasses, hurried at
double quick time to the spot. A reinforcement from the
C division, similarly armed, soon jcdned the first body. A
cordon of constables was drawn round the beerhouse, and
the several side streets were guarded by men appointed to
that duty. In the meantime another body of men rushed
Into tie house and searched it throughout, but " Colonel"
Kelly was not there.
