see. At eleven o'clock We took Il tug and
allied up the river to CorL. very beautiful
trip OF an hour and "A half. At Cork, We
took carriage and drove out to Barney
castle, fine old ruin, formerly owned by a
lord OF the same name. Kissed the Oarney
stone, and have felt very glib since. The
castle Is covered with ivy, and, IN iact,
nearly all the ruins we have seen III this
country are grown with beautiful IVY.
Vt six O'Clock III the evening, we took the
cars for Killarney, where we arrived at
nine, and stopped at the road hotel, about
two miles from the lake. Wepassed Sunday
quietly, and on Monday morning early took
awagonett Qike iaunting car, only the seats
turn inward instead of oct, and drove to the
entrance of Dunloc Gap. There we took
ponies four mile1 through wild gap, with
little river running all the way AT the foot
OF the gap. The road wound along the sides
of a mountain, then We gradually came into
the valley aud down to the margin OF the
Lake Killarney, where row-boat was ready
for us.
The sail was delightful. We caught
spcckIed and salmon trout, and alterWard
landed on a beautiful island, where our
guide prepared our lunch, and cooked the
trout on arbutus wood. After lunch We
started for the middle and lower lakes.

scenery of these lakes. The old Weir bridge
stands between the ~ ddlc and lower lakes.

pass in the row boat through this bridge, as
we were carried Along by the rapids The

! A meeting was held yesterday in the
round room of the Mansion house, for the
| purpose of adopting 1 memorial to the cX-
| ccutive government or to her majesty inn
! ploring that her royal ClemenCy may be
exercised in favor Of the Fenian prisoners
! condemned to death.
The lord mayor presided. In his Tewarks
on assuming the chair that officer said: 81
| think the memorial will mud an echo in
/ every part Of Ireland | know it has in
! England, and that some of the most dis
| tnguished members Of the commons house
of parliament have taken precedence of US

| ishment. On the grounds of policy, hui
manitv and true craftsmanship, hope that
/ the noble lord, her maiesty's representative,
and the Government, will be induced to
advise her majesty TO do away with that
| penalty which | refer to.
81 think the great majority of the Irish
| people are loyal to the teachings OF the
! clergy OF all denominations, Of obedience
| to the laws of the country"
! The Rev. Canon Pope said: 1--WE are con-

m roy rather than Justice Is the parent Of
! love aud loyalty. We believe that Clemency
| will prove a stronger tie to bind the hearts
| of her maicsty's Irish subjects in attachment
| to her august person. to her throne, and
/ the constitution of those realms than
the inhiction of extreme and revolving nun
| ishments.Y ourmcmorialists are still further
! encouraged 10 hope that our earnest aud
! humble PRAYER will be conceded from the
/ significant prscedent afforded in the recent
| exercise of the ROYAL clemcncv under similar

condemned IN her maiesty's Canadian pos.

The Reverend DR.. Pratt read the follow

not failed to warn our people against the

pointed out to them the dangers to which
