We have received the following special
despatch from the HERALD correspondent at
the Irish capital
DUBLIN Sept 3, 1871.
A monster demonstration for che release of
the Fenian prisoners was held to-day in this
city. At an early hour this morning vast pro-
cessions were organized and marched by diff
ferent routes toward Phoenix Park.
CROWDS FLooKINs TO THE PARK.
Banners, inscribed with notices expressive
of the object of the meeting, were carried by
the processionsts.
In the principal streets traffic was COM
pletely obstructed. At the same time the
people focked in large crowds to the Park
until about one hundred thousand people
were present, when the meeting was opened.
SPEECHES AT THE MEETING.
Mr.. Smyth, the Member Of Parliament and
principal officer of the Amnesty Association,
addressed the vast crowd. He began by CEN
suring the conduct of the police, whom he
charged with having wantonly provoked the
recent Phoenix Park riot
THE FENIANs POLITICAL PRISONERS.
He then demanded, in the name of the peo-
pie, the release of the captive Fenians,
whose offences he characterized as purely
political. He expressed his belief that the
energetic action of the Amnesty Association
and the people of Dublin would force the gov
ernment to release the Fenan prisoners.
RESOLUTIONS AND EXPLANATIONS.
Mr.. Nolan, the editor of the Dublin Nation,
Mr.. Butts and others spoke to the same effect.
During the speeches the crowd uttered loud
and angry ordinations against the govern
ment, and resolutions demanding the imme-
diate release of the Fenian prisoners were
unanimously adopted.
The resolutions are couched in defiant
language, aud will be presented tomorrow to
Earl Spencer, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.
The crowd separated, with the determination
to meet again if this demonstration should not
effect their purpose.
THE POLICE.
A large force of police was present, but it
kept at respectful distance while the meet
ing lasted. As the people were returning
home many of them taunted the police with
cowardice, threats and other insults
FIGHT AND ARRESTS
Several collisions ensued The police
officers drew their slaves, while the people,
who had collected in small crowds, used sticks
and stones. The fight was very hot, but of
short duration, for the police mustered in large
force and, after many wounded on both sides,
eventually dispersed the hostile mobs, taking
many prisoners.
