TRAIN AT CORK-NEwMAN HALL AGAIN-THE
UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE "A CHALLENGE
FROM ANERICA-AN IDYLL FROM BUCK
INGHAMsHIRE-LITERARY MATTERS.
LONDON, February J. 1868.
If Train were a man who carried more guns or
even more ballast, ne might do not little mischief
in Ireland. 1t blunder to arrest him perhaps
it was equally bunder TO permit him to remain in
Ireland after he had become an object of attention
and sympathy. Mountebank as he is, be knows how
to reach certain level of Irish opinion. English
correspondents describe his audiences at Cork
as consisting of an "unwashed mob" but,
then. all the Fenians, and nearly all Irish
men. are considered by the same writers
10 belong to the class Beside there ladies
in the case and it is clearly mpote to call the ladies
mob. Trains lectures have been crowded and he
has been bold enough, OF, if you please impudent
enough to get himself arrested twice over. He
threatens war with America talks of Irelands oppOT
tunity, denounces English tyranny, all in style
which English tyranny is not just now IN the habit
of toleTating The babeas corpus is suspended, the
civil authorities not less vglant and austere than
the military. 1t is certain that Trains excesses
would be short but for the mistake of his first ar
rest and for the fear that he would be more
troublesome character in prison than out of it. How
20 deal seriously with a man who assumes TO speak
for the United States Government and who proposes
20 buy Ireland stock and lock for 600 in gold
1T is difficult" says the Cork correspondent of
Liberal paper in London TO exaggerate the mischief
which these haTangues are doing here. The persons
10 whom they addressed chiefly men and lads
of the lower classes those who form the back bone
of FenIansln who ueedily receive every statement
no matter how absurd 10 the deeadenoe Of En-
Rland entertain the widest hopes of succor from the
United States and cherish the most exaggerated
notions of the power OF the American Republic. To
these people Mr.. Train presents himself as an Ameri-
can politician in the confidence Of the American
cabinet and his undisguised assurances OF American
sympathy for Ireland are more calculated TO keep
alive disaffecton than all the writings Of The IRISH
saaH OF all the speeches of Mr. John Martini If all
this be true it VIII give Train at least as much gratf
cation as the addresses caps mot FOOLS caps ia shape
wreaths kisses aud garters which the young ladies
of Cork have presented him. e.. r..t...l u 80
The Rev Newman Hall seems to have q kind of
clumsy good will toward America which II is perhaps
ungTacjOus to crticse, but which leads him 10 make
<tatementS that are the reverse of tTe. He affirmed
" recent letter that the intelligent and cultivated
Slasses IN America were not those which CHERISHED

Dgutraty during The war. II is needless Tor me to
