DUBLIN, August THE most intense
excitement prevails this morning over
the events Of last night. The author
tiles had a sufficient force on duty all
night to prevent a recurrence OF the
disturbances. A larger number of those
present at the disturbance were injured
than was at first supposed. Previous to
being dispersed by the police, the en-
ragged mob visited the pottery establish
ment OF Mr.. Kerr, in Capel street, which
had been visited and inspected on the
previous day by the royal party. Here
tbev showed their wrath against the
proprietor for entertaining English Roy
alty by throwing volley after volley of
stones and other missiles at the build
ing, breaking almost all the windows
fronting on the street. Fortunately no
persons were injured. Mr.. Sullivan,
editor of the National, one Of those who
assisted in organizing the meeting In
Phoenix Park, aud who, along with
Messrs. Smith and Nolan, rode at the
head OF the procession, was seriously
injured, and his death is probable. The
authorities are confident Of being able
to keep the rioters in check should fur
,her disturbances be attempted. Every
exerton will be made tc suppress secta-
rianism during the stay OF the ROYALTY
in this city.
The eRiot-Excitement In London.
LONDON, August Much commo-
lion became visible in this city last
night on the receipt of the intelligence
ofthe disturbances in Dublin. Great
apprehension is felt for the safety OF the
Royal Family, and it was feared at one

the resistance Of the authorities and the
most serious consequences ensue. The
people here felt much relieved on re,
ceiyiag information of the disturbance
having been suppressed by the vigilant
action of the authorities. The excite,
meut, however, still continues this
morning, though in less degree; The
disturbance of last night is much CEN
sured and commented upon by the
morning papers. 1t is understood that
the Government will adopt the most
revere and stringent measures IN
dealing with the rioters who have been
arrested.
