Some of the Irish Liberal members, in
Guiding Mr.. Mcguire, Mr.. Callan, Mr.. Shaw,
DR.. Brady and others, had an interview
this evening with the Home Secretary, for
the purpose of urging upon him the issue
of an order to the Governor of Portland
Prison, directing that the remains of the
convict "Thompson (whose name, by the
way, is Darragh,) insight be given to his
friends for interment in the North of Ire
land, ofSwhich he is understood to be a ma
tive. Mr.. Hogan, of Birmingham, and some
other gentlemen who were well acquainted
with Darragh, and who believe thathe was
unjustly convicted of participating in the
Manchester Fenian riots, are doing every
thing in their power to induce the Home
Department to permit the removal of the
corpse, and the Secretary of State seems
rather disposed to meet their views, pro-
;yided he receives some we'll grounded as
surance that Darragh's funeral is not to be
made the occasion of Fenian demonstra-
tion.
Bigotry Rebaked-The Rev. DR.. Coils, a
pole@icai warfare are not tempered by
the smallest degree of tenderness for the
feelings or convictions of his neighbour; has
received a marked rebuke from the Chair
man of the East Riding, and the bench of
magistrates at the Fermoy Quarter ses-
Queenstown, but being connected by
property with Fermoy, he has thought
proper to take that town also under
his patronage for controversial purposes,
and for many years the ratings outside his
handsome residence have been decorated
by a series of placards containing texts of
Scripture, with comments supposed to have
q tendency to awaken Roman Catholics to
a sense of religious truth. In these po-
lemical banners on the doctors outer wall,
various tenets, sacred in the eyes of Roman
Catholics, have been coarsely and bitterly
has yet succeeded in awakening by his de-
monstration is one of the strongest indigna-
ton. Some time since a Roman Catholic
blacksmith took rather rough and ready
mode of entering his protest against the
doctors method of carrying on religious
warfare, and smashed a whole series of
placards with q sledge hammer. For this
he was prosecuted and fined at Petty Ses-
siOns, but the magistrates readily asented |
to an application to send the case to Quarter
Sessions for a higher opinion upon its legal
aspects. The matter was fully considered
last Thursday, and Mr.. Kane decided that
the defendant, in smashing the placards, had
been guilty of an illegal act, but he con-
demncd their exhibition in the most de- |
cisive language, and to mark his disap- |
prevail of the Rev. DR.. Collis's conduct, re-
daced the law penalty imposed by the |
magistrates to merely nominal fine. His |
worship further expressed a hope that the
bench would decline to assist Mr.. Coils to
persevere in the improper course he had |
hitherto chosen to parsue in defiance of the
opinion of Professionals as we'll as Catholics,
and advised them in case Of future Injury
to the placards to leave Mr.. Coils to his I
remedy by way of civil proceedings, con-
tenting themselves where a breach of the |
peace occurs with returning the case for |
trial at Quarter Sessions, where the circum-
stances Will receive wider publicity. The |
other magistrates concurred in Mr.. Kane's |
temperate, but unequivocal condemnation |
ofDr. Collis's proceedings. Cork Examiner.
Strike Of Laborers in Malloac.-The town |
is in rather an excited state this evening, |
owing to the fact that gangs of laboriE g |
men are marching idly about all day, they
having followed the example of their Cork |
confreres, and struck for higher wages. II
is reported that, owing to a letter received
at the Quartertown Mills, belonging to the |
frm of Messrs j. and r. Webb, from some |
of the Cork people, general strike and |
turn out of all hands was at once decided
on, unless they got two shillings a week |
advance of wages. On submitting their
claim to Mr.. Robert Webb, it is said that
he offered to raise their hire from eight to |
nine shillings per week, but the men not
agreeing to those terms. they left in body
and marched INTO Mallow, and at once pro-
ceeded to Mr.. Newinham's condensing milk
factory, and compelled all the persons en-
ployed there to leave off work also. They
then proceeded to Mr.. Haines' tan yard,
and carried out the same programme. Some
of Mr.. Webb's men have, it is said, returned
to their work, and a few others, who eluded
the body in their first efforts to get them to
turn out, are at work also, but SO appre-
hensiye are they and the proprietors that
they have asked for and received a guard
of constabulary to protect the concern
night and day.
There has been no attempt at rioting or
anything like open violence yet, but the
authorities are taking all the precautions
