The FaniAn Denomination In Dublin,
The great funeral procession in memory of
Allen, Larkin, and Gould, took place in Dublin
on Sunday, the 9Th of Decem ber. The Chairman
of The Demonstrat1ve Committee was John
Martin, who in 1S48 was sentenced to ten years
penal servitude for "trea on felony" AT the
heed of the procession there were 200 men
viking eight abreast, then band OF music, and
behind that several thousands of boys and girls
then came three hearses, and then about 5000
women, and behind them q large army of men,
Varlously estimated at from 5000 to 10000.
Several bands we're inteTspersed in tne pro-
cession, and nearly every participant wore Grape
and green favors, the day was very wet but
several thousands of spectators lined the streets
alongg which the procession passed, a large
number of whom wore sympathizing colors.
The bands played THE Dead March," "Adiste
Fideles,n "Savourneen Dheeish," and other
tunes. When passing the spot where Emmett
was hanged, in Thomas street, the processionists
lifted their hats and cheered. When the process.
sion arrived at Glasnevln Cemetery, John
Martin addressed the immense audience who
''closed in" around him. He denounced the
malignant policy" Of England, and said that
the men whose memory they were met to honor
were not murdeTeTs, but pious and vrtuous men,
who feared God and loved their country. For
that love they were doomed to death at the
hands of the British hangman.
The death of those men was legal murder-the
act OF English policy, which, through jealousy
and hatred of their nationality, had by fraud
and force destroyed their indr rpendence. They
had since endured sIxty-seven years of insult and
robbery, of impoverishment, determination,
and suffering, beyond what any other people
had ever endured from foreign MASTER vast

.1sh rule had for bade 10 live in their own coun-
try had in America learned to become soldiers
and resolved to make war on England. She was
m panic in consequence, ard hoped to strike
terror into Irishmen by legal murder. Mr.
Martin made long and eloquent speech, which
was listened to in perfect silence and with great
attention.
This speech was made at the grave of Terence
Bellew McManus, the leader of I848, who was
taken over from the United States and buried
there. Each OF the bands of music halted and
played at thegrave during the march round the
cemetery.
Mr., Martins speech when he referred to the
innocent lives which bad been takenn was
received with shouts of "Well strike terror into
them" Cheers were given for the Irish repub-
lie, and groans for the present rulers of
Apart from this demonstration the utmost
order was observed, and no excuse was given
TO the police to make any charges that the peace
OF the city hadlbeen disturbed.
"A procession took place at Limerick on the
same day, and the proceedings were likewise

counties. Father Quad delivered the address,
and at his request all knelt and said prayer
for the souls of the men executed at Manchester.
The people then rose and cheered for Father
Quaid and the Irish republic.
The Dublin dec. y correspondence of the
London Times gives the following particulars
of the programme as it was arranged
The topic of absorbing interest at present is
the funeral procession which is announced for
tomorrow. There can be little doubt that if
such demonstration be permitted to take place
in this metropolis it will imperl the tranquility
of the country. A feeling OF deep concern per-
vades all loyal classes, irrespective Of creed, at
the prospect OF Fenanism receiving fresh lite
from such proceedings.

While hostile press is impregnating the
minds of the lower classes with the virus of dis
affection, such assemblages may become espe-
clally dangerous in themselves, apart alto
gether from any fear Of collision between fac-
tions such as they have already produced. The
people become familartzed with the display of
organized power which they know to be capable
at.any convenient moment of being directed to
revolutionary objects, lfnot nowyactually aimed
at them. Under the shelter of an organization

Fenianism may recruit ane consolidate any fresh
strength it may acquire; and the knowledge
that popular agitation IS charged with the eX-

A formidable obstacle win be raised "a the

with tomorrow. Now we have II proclaimed in
the most Ostentatious manner, and If the result
correspond with the expectations of its pro-
moters, it will be on greater scale than any
which we have yet seen.
The order of ceremonial observed in Cork will
