OF affairs
The Lord Mayor Of Dublin presided large number OF
sturdy coal portsrs armed with whito wands,
trusted with the duty of maintaining order They did
their duty in genuine Irish style. as many broken
nose and cracked skull will testify.
Upon taking the chair the Lord Mayor vigorously
Iogized Mr. Gladstone, aud demanded for Ireland o
reform bill besowng manhood suffrage pure and sim
ps unencumbsred with any qualifications as to residence
or taxes The audience were in toeraby good humor
during this speech.
When Mr. Bsalss, the zero Of the evening" began TO
address the assemblage, however, the scene changed
His praises OF the "uuion" between England and Ire
land we're hailed with such Kisses that Dir. Beass
forced to reract and explain that he not in favor Of
"union' unless the Irish people wshedi it, Free fight
ing was now begun all parts Of the hail. and the
almost resembled riot
But the point OF the meeting was ths-neither Mr.
Beales nor Mr.. Ernest Jones. the ODonoghue nor
any of the other less important speakers could make
himself heard unless he vehementy abused the British
government and spoke boldly praise Of the Fenians
So soon as this discovered the speakers adapted
themselves to the temper Of their audience. and amid
cheers Burke and other FenaD leaders the orators
expatiated upon the glory and the sulernRs of the
Irish pa.rots and to such pitch did tn csc uterances
rise that Mr. Ernest Jones threatened England with
revolution, and only stopped because she was afraid
that he would go too far II he spoke longer" Mr..
Bsales and the o. Donoghue were equally extreme. In
fact, the reform meeting transformed into Fenan
meeting, and still the Lord Mayor continued TO preside
1t would be easy to exaggerate tho importance OF this
Dublin demonstration, and many people will undoubt-
eddy do So Such expressions sympathy with the Fe.
nans at large public meeting in the capital of ireland
after the recent Fenan nsurrecon would seem
to imply that Fenlanism is still popular, and that now
revolution Is preparing. But believe that the truth is
just the other way. The mestinG although large. was
not attended by the respectable and responsible classes
OF the Dublin population, and those who did attend 1t
came with the idea that reform and Fenianism mean
about the Same thing 1t Is an undenabs fact that at
the Fenian organization. and the Singular condolences
between reform demonstrations and Fenian outbreaks
have already been alluded to in this correspondence
The Of Dublin have not yet learned the real diff
ference between the two movements and their very
natural mistake encouraged by the violence Of the
cited speakers, led TO tho cries and cheers at the
meeting.
In the absence of other lively topics the revival of
tho Alabama question by the publication OF the CORE
has attracted much attention in England There seems
to be remarkable unanimiiy OF public opinion in re-
gard to this matter. Tho English perfectly willing,
Lord Stanley says, to submit the Alabama and other
claims to arbitration, and believe that they would be
forever Of this cksh subject dangerous precedent

whore il did before these dispatches published.
Englishmen talk Of them with shrug Of the shoulders
Whenever Brother Jonathan really wants the cash down
for the damages he has only to suggest arbitrator,
and John Bull will meet him more than half way
Having demonstrated to their own satisfaction that
tho immense American guns are not so dangerous TO
ron-cads they had been led suppose the English
are now agitated concerning new gun said to have
been invented by the Emperor Napoleon, ana capable
OF pouring out steady stream of balls and destroying
whole regiment in ten minutes The accounts published
here Of the secresy observed in regard to this
extraordinary. The papers have 1t that the workmen
locked up by the Emperor and fed pats d. Joe
gra and that the guns taken to Chaons in leather
cases. and the artillery men TO silence Also that
Prussian spies have been discovered about Chaons
dcavorng bdbe the French soldiers to show them tho
weapon. 1t would not at all surprise me to find that
this mysterious machine the revolving cannon, in

remember that this gun tested in Now York, but
that it not adopted by the War Department. The
HERALD published an account Of s trial one Of the

Europe and sold it 10 Napoleon
