gestive of pain conld afford, the touchin
appeal of Madame Ia Comptesse de PREF t
che benevolent ladies of Ireland in you
issue of last evening. Knowing the pa
triotic and accomplished countess a goo,
many years, take the liberty of recon
mending her appeal to the hearts of he
faho my country women. She herself is O
tne real old Irish stock-''racy of the soil
any trlfie from every Irishwoman, no mat
cer OF what rank, would be but fair re-
qultai OF the sympathy bestowed ON thu
notners, and wives. and daughters of Ire
land by their French sisters during the ter
rible famine. 1t would be even something
more.a frmer cementing Of.that brotherly
ana slsterly feeling which has for ages sub.
sisted between the sons and daughters Of
france and Ireland. Finally, the conscious
ness OF having contributed any share, nc
matter how small, to the alieviaJion of that
wholesale bodily suffering which is sure to
follow In the wake of this gigantic wal
VIII De OF itself reward to the benevolent
contributors. 1t may not be out of place
1or me to repeat here my already and ex-
pressed conviction that France could not
"lthout dlshonOr and humiliation, and con-
sequent national detriment, avoid the
struggle. Brandenberg was aiming at
supremacy in the. fields and councils of
western Europe to be consummated by the
e :: mischievous machinery of dynas-
Ec family compacts. This was smenace
-: 10 france in particular, who, therefore, in
It's self-defence was obliged to accept the
challenge first stealthily prepared, and
lastly rudely flung in her face. May God
oeIend the right. Yours, truly,

The Late Strikes in Cork.-Twelve of the
prisoners convicted of riot and assaultipg
the policeman, and wrecking houses during
the disturbance connected with the Cork
tallors' strike, were sentenced by Mr. JUS
tice KeOgh to twelve months imprisonment
with hard labor. Two ringleaders in the
attack on the police got eighteen months
each, and several others six months. Two
were convicted of brutal assaults upon the
tallors who withdrew from the strike, and
were sentenced to eighteen months. Mr..
. ustlce keogh strongly censured the mac
tivity OF the local magistrates and the
mayor during the disturbances, and said
that much mischief might have been pre-
vented had proper measures been taken,
and he considered there were too mapy
magistrates, and the responsibility too
much divided. On the following day JAS.
OConnor and Michael Belcher, journeymen
tallors, convicted of conspiracy and intimi-
dalton in connection with the tailors' strike,
were sentenced, the former to two years.
and the latter to eighteen
months, Judge keogh remarking that he
looked on O'Connor as the head and front
OF the movement, which had produced so
much trouble, disturbance and loss in the
city.
The forthcoming Orange Demonstrations.
In the House of Commons on Monday,
when replying to a question put by Col.
Knox, who said he had addressed Mr..
Dowse especially, because he claimed to be
the representative of the Roman Catholics
Of the north of Ireland. The Solicitor
General said that he had never claimed to
be the representative of the Roman Catlo-
lies of the north of Ireland, and that SO far
rs the advertisement was concerned, call
ing upon the Catholics of Derry to sup
press the annual demonstration on the l2t h
Of August. His attention had been called
70 it, and all he could say was, that the |
Government would do all in their power to |
maintain the law and to preserve peace.
He added, that he hoped Col. Knox and his
trends would assist in this object, and he
the honorable and gallant gentle
men that the Government would use every
necessary measure to protect all the inlab-
tants of Derry, and he believed all to be
oval subjects of the Queen.
