turned recent public proceedings Of = SIMILAR
kind into shows Of political pantomime, I'M
douetsdly the most striking feature in the
NIFTY with which the speakers, one and all, de-
olared for native rule. Dean Durcan, in pro-
posing Mr.. Browne, said " it was impossible

until the country was under the benefcent in

Castle, proposed Father Lavelle in language of
the warmest compliment, and the proposal be-
came before the electors and delivered forci-
BILE and remarkable address-the pith and mar
row of it being that "our country ought to
can govern another SO wel as 1 this other caS
rule herself; and that " the right of Ireland to
conduct her own affairs is indestructible." We
need scarcely say that the reverend patriot
was heard from first to last with irrepressible
enthusiasm, which truly burst all limits when
he asked why Ireland should not, like Belgium
and Portugal and the Swiss Confederation
(surronnded by ambitious monarchies), be in
dependent, self-ruling and freef He cited tho
case of degenerate Hungary as one to point his
moral: "Anstria in her weakness was proud
to grant to Hungary what in her strength and
confidence she had long refused Let st. Ste
phen's be to us an English Reichsrath. Let on
English Sadowa arrive and then the English
own affairs"
The Banquet.-In the evening Mr.. Browne
presided at q banquet to his friends, and pro-
posed the health of the Archbishop of Tuam-
'.the great Archbishop who through the sun
shine and sorrow of long and illustrious
career, had struggled for his country and his
deacon Browne said "that no man living, cler-
gyman or layman, deserves the gratitude of
the Irish nation more truly than DIR. McHale."
and added; that to the heart of the venerable
prelate in his present deep beI eavement for the
loss of one whose death was q heavy loss to
Ireland, the news Of the peaceful triumph in
Mayo that day would bring delight and pride.
Dean Durcan, in proposing the health of Mr..
Browne, expressed the hope that he would re-
present them not alone in the English House
Of Commons but in the Irish Parliament in
himself, that Irish Constituencies will not
henceforth send man to Parliament who won't
demand from English Ministers the Repeal of
the Union" This was the tone of all the
speeches, which were brimful of argument as
well as fire, and were just such utterances as
may prove even to those who are no lovers of
the Celt that Irshmen can as clearly prove
their right as they can passionately desire it.
ANOTHER TRIAL OF PETER BARRETT-Last
week we noticed an application made by Mr..
Monahan, in the Court of Queens Bench, to
llOorate Peter Barrett on MS own recOgnlZanca,
the trials of his case in Dublin and Galway
having proved abortive through Disagreement
of the juries. On Friday Sergeant Armstrong,
for the Crown the in
prisoner put again upon his trial at the next
after-sittings, and formally applied to have
emo rule" marked upon the motion. The
court accsded, az a matter of course, and Peter
Barrett is to be thus held in custody for a
third arraignment and trial.
"RoRYIsM."-A curious case was heard the
1&r
Petty Sessions. A man .esed DwXer was
charged with having obstructed Mr.. Hall
upon the public road, and used violent and
e ssss Il asRs sae Of
spondentg OF Dponn papers and ne ne Irish cor
set down one of genuine "Roryism," and it
was stated circnmstantially for the public eye
soap and blacking were found upon his person
when arrested. In evidence the facts turned
ont to he that Dryer had never seen Mr.. Hall
before the day OF the offence a that he nsed the
right in thu middle Of the village, and that at
| the time Of using it he was much under the
influence of drink: As to the grand sensation
touch about the blaokened face, it was mat
ter # common knowledge that the counten-
aree of Dwyer was usually seen to be of q
sable hue, since his calling is that of 2 chin
ney-sweep, whioh he had followed in that To- |
cality for more than dozen years.
THE CASE OF STEPHEN MEAGHER.-Tbe con-
viction of Stephen Meagher at the last Clon-
mel Asszes on the charge of having sent q |
threatening letter was this week reviewed in |
the Court for Cases Reserved, and quashed. |
The Lord Chief Justice, in giving the judg-
ment of the Court, declared that the circum- |
stantal evidence upon which the conviction |
had been based was wholly unsatisfactory" |
An official of the Inland Revenue had sworn |
that the stamp on the threatening letter, to- |
gether with a stamp put on a letter to- Mrs. |
Pennefather, and four others found in the |
possession of the prisoner, would all form q |
batch of ak, joined together on the same sheet.
The court held that whatever suspicion there |
might be, there was not any evidence, and SO
guments of counsel most undgnitied "row" |
arose between Chief Justice Whiteside and |
Justice Morris. The Chief having said he |
could not the force of the poiLt about the |
stamps, Judge Morris tartly remarked that he |
could, and il people did not understand argu-
ments he could not help it. Retort and rapar- |
the followed quick upon each other, the senior |
judge charging his junior brother with having |
made an -" un warrantable observation" and |
the latter insisting with characteristic vigor
that he would not be "put down. If
the bad temper of Judge Morris arose from
the fact that he was the judge who had tried
the case at Clonmel, the self assertion which
was 80 nearly touched by the dissent of one
learned brother, must have been sorely exer-
cised by the decision of the Court reversing
the conviction.
