DUBLIN, September q 1912.
The last packet will have conveyed to you the
news OF the disastrous state of nsubordinaton and
not prevailing throughout the manufacturing dis.
tricts of England The "tum out" Of the entire
working population, Threatening destruction to life'
but more especially to property within their reach
Peace and order have been partially restored through
the vgor and decision of the Government-the zeal
and activity of the local authorities, seconded by
the unanimous cooperation OF the more intelligent
and peaceable of the community, and which has
been found fully equal to the emergency which has
unhappily called them forth Some few lives have
been sacrificed by the firing of the military, who
throughout have conducted themselves with the
greatest possible forbearance while the rioters, tor
such they truly were, generally fled at their APP
proach, or on the first moment OF their assuming
the offensive.
These riots have ended, but not the spirit or feel
ing that has called them into life neither the un.
happy consequences that were TO follow, and
which will inevitably tend TO restrict even within
their present limit, The political and other advan-
tages OF the misguided and foolish men engaged In
them; scarcely any OF whom know what they were
clamorous tor Some shouting tor the I" Charter,
and nothing but the charter opposed, as II Is with
It's numerous extravagancles, TO the spirit and prln-
clple OF our constitution, while others again are
seeking for fair days wages, for a fair days
work, and to regulate the price OF labor, not ac-
cording TO its marketable value, or by any other
reasonable standard, but to the time and exerlons
expended by the giver, whether profitable or other
wise to the employer. From these and other evi-
dences Is pretty certain the entire absence OF all
concert, OF previous organization, or any fixed or
settled purpose whatsoever; besides evincing a
want OF earnestness their resistance thu OughOut
their proceedings, which evidently betrays full
consciousness OF the extreme lmprudence, the fol
ly and wickedness OF their entire conduct. II is
torious, that from the late unusual oppression in

still expecting that SO soon as our tariff law should
pass, and that mems minds would settle down 10 lis
consequences, that business would again revive,
OF its early and natural result, and who will now
refuse to take back these men until the commerce
OF the country may receive some new stImuant and
change from Its present depression The conse-
quences will be, an aggravaton and extent OF mise
ry and destitution that would never have occurred
had not these very senseess proceedings provoked
and given them BIRTH
While these scenes are enacting in England, the
public mind is calm and unrutfied al this side
as you can well imagine, which takes very 1T
tie interest In whichever is going forward amongst
our neghbors, or in what way matters may eventu.
ally out being quite sure that social order and
the laws on which it is based, must ultimately TIL
umph. At the same time there exists no real SYM
pathy between the present class OF English rioters
and any portion OF our population. Several regi
ments have been lately removed from this country
TO the disturbed districts In England, and which We
can very well spare.
Political agitation has been for some time on the
wane amongst us-the !" Repeal" question all but
given up, and only kept Pickering for while longer
before the public, or for such time as the weakness
and faulty OF individuals may be found to contrl-

symptoms of O'Cennell's abandoning the measure
not benause that he is only now convinced OF its i'm
praclcabilty, for these were his Conscientious
opinions tor nine years past, but because OF his
no longer being able to make use Of it, as a
sufficient stmulant is arousing the latent preu-
n N
tinue the whlrlwind of excitement out OF which
his hopes, and a great proportion OF his word
ly means are derived. The season Is fast APP
preaching when his pecuniary exachons upon his
countrymen are usually made. This epoch In his
annual history Is generally preceded by public meet
ngs throughout the provinces, oy all sorts OF nfiam-
matory speeches, and ~ continued addresses TO me

bers-men, women and children. The widest pas
sions Of the people are exced as essential to his
purpose. The strong feeling that Is known TO exis

proportion of the middle classes, and those raised
above them in the scale of society, either by fortu
itous circumstances, or by their own individual mer

partial and unequal protection 10 class of the
community, to the wrong and prejudice OF the other,
while remedy, panacea, tor all these mighty
evils and as many mere as the imagination may
conure up, is proposed in some extravaganza, and
O'Conne declared the great champion and leader,
who is to give direction IT, the movement, to bring
the country through the ordeal OF It's entire regenera

nomination, as the purpose, and secret design OF the
political empire may choose to call into existence

ment that sufficient steam Is up, and that the excite
ment has attained its proper iexlbty and compass,
than the country is reminded of the sacrifices of this

lucrative situations he has broadly rejected, rather

renewed exerti3n and he exf h;s so necessary

citation, declaring their future efforts to be no longer
confined to the mere object OF repeal but for the
future to embrace-lst, universal suffrage" End

Such is the new bill of fare that is offered te
the Irish public the clio of good things, instead o.
the former meagre and unsavoury dish OF repeal,
that it is expected will gather in the multitude under
the banners of the association and enlarge the
"O'Connell tribute" Of the present year beyond

rangements are already OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES appor-
