NEw YoRK, July l0.-There was an ex-
cited meeting of the Irish Confederation in |
Avenue A. yesterday afternoon, and reso
luton depressing any attempt to obstruct
or prevent the Orange procession was voted
down. The disposition of the ma ority was
IN favor of violence.
At meeting at Hibernisn Hall, O'Don-
ovSn Rosa was assaulted and hustled from
.he speakers stand, while making sn appeal
Tor peace and order.
It is stated that q delegation from the
aiberniAn society left last night to wait upon
Gen. Grant and request him to interpose
the authority of the Government to prevent
q breach Of the peace which is represented
as certain to occur should the procession
take place.
The appeal to the Governor for the com
mutation of the sentence Of the murderer,
Foster, has been postponed. pending the
result of the argument to be had before the
court at the October term, on exceptions
,aken by the prisoners counsel during the
| trial.
There is reason to believe that the much
| dreaded riot, consequent on the Orange pHN
| rAde projected for next Wednesday will not
.Ake place. Superintendent heiso has this
| evening issued sn order forbiddiEg both the
! Orange procession and target excursion Of
the Ancient Order of HiDerniHus. The
parties com prising the target companies
rspresent that portion of the Irish Catholic
element which expresses it's determination
to oppose the Orange display. Superintend-
snt Kelso, II his order, says be was applied
to by the Grand Master Lodge Of Masons to
give the police to guard the procession
| through the priaeip pal streets and avenues OF
New York on the 25th inst, 10 honor Of the
battle of Boyne end Its surrender. National
difficulties hsve been engeDdered which hsve
descended from generation TO generation
with increasing scrimony, and large bodies
Of citizens participating in these feelings
form part Of our community.
This evening, before it wes known thai
Superintendent Kelso had issued his orders
there we're largely attended meetings of th'
Ancient Order of Hibernians of this city
BROOKLYN and Jersey City. Delegates OF the
Irish societies held secret meetings at Hl
Dernian Hall in this city, and large crowd
we're collected outside discussing the pRrsd
