Quies Restored-ExPected Deaths
efrom InJuries-Bitt< Feeling
against the Prince of Wales.
LONDON, Aug. IA dispatch from
Dublin to day says the city is quiet, but
the excitement of the populace is not yet
subsidized. 1t is generally thought that
the sympathisers of the Fenian prisoners
have not yet given up the idea of holding
another meeting in spite of the strict pro-
hibition of the authorities. The majority
OF the people favor granting an amnesty
to all Fenian prisoners, but violent oppo-
sition TO the authorities is generally depre-
Gated. The belief was that the royal
visit would be made an opportunity by
the government for the release of the
imprisoned Fenians. The populace is
very bitter against the Prince of Wa'es,
because he has not interceded for amnesty.
Several places which were visited
by the royal party were Quilted by mob
on Sunday. The whole police force are
still on the alert. The military have been
consigned to the barracks to be ready if
called upon to aid the police. Most of
the wounded are expected to recover.
Thus far no deaths are reported, but il is
thought from five to ten persons will die
from the injuries. How, Superintendent
of the police is in a critical condition,
but hopes are entertained for his recovery.
1t is yet uncertain whether the govern
ment will or can legally prosecute
Smythe, member of Parliament, and
other leaders of the demonstration.
Letter from Smythe, VI. p.
DUBLIN, August S.-The city is quiet.
All persons arrested for obstructing the
thoroughfares ON Sunday were fined
small amounts and discharged from Gus
tOdy on payment. Sam1 Smythe, men,
Der of Parliament, who was instrumental
in getting up the amnesty demonstration,
and who was among those beaten by the
police, has written letters to the authori-
ties demanding immediate inquiries into
the facts of the case.

Money Order Treaty with Germany
A letter was received to-day at the
Postotfice department from DIR. Melon
aid, at Berlin, Prussia, stating that he has
negotiated convention with the govern
ment of Germany for the interchange of
postal money-orders between that Empire
and the United States. The treaty will
not take effect until October l, 1872,
owing to the fact that the German author
tiles are rsqired to give one years notice
to the North German Lloyd's Steamship
Company.

DIsraelI VS.. Gladstone-A Scene in

DIsraelI VS.. Gladstone-A Scene in
the Commons.
LONDON, Aug. 8.-The House of Com
mons was to-day the scene of q severe
encounter between the leaders of the
Tory and Liberal parties.
Disraeli savagely charged Gladstone
with bad leadership both in the House
and in his party; with wasting many
weeks on a subject subsequently sban-
doned; with needlessly invoking the ex-
ercise of the Royal prerogative, and with
postponlng important and even vital
legislation.
Gladstone retorted that Disraeli's So
called facts were but the offspring of his
imaginative and hngusl powers, and that
the lost time of which Disrsei complain
ed was due to the resistance made by the
Tories to electoral reform.
The Riotous Dublin Police.
Sir Jno. Gray, NJ. P. for Kilkenny

Mr.. Gladstone implored the House to
pass the ballot bill forthwith. A violent
personal and partisan debate followed,
after which Mr.. Forster summed up for
the bill as one demanded by the people.

The Bitterness of Prussian OccuPa-


tiOns
NEW YORK, August 8-The Her
aid correspondent writing from Roueen
says: "The Prussian occupation of
Face is every day rendering the sit
uation more unpleasant. Strife and
bloodshed between the small number of
German and French people are frequent,
and the murders of Prussian private SOL
diers which have taken place, render Prus-
sian soldiers more harsh with enbiltered
feeling. The French Government are
said to have sent word of this to Bis
msrck, Won Molike and Danelt, upon the
possibility of restraining the population
unduly oppressed and tyrannically treated.
Some Prussisn commanders, drunk to
excess, encouraged the conduct of the
men in using firearms on so small pro-
vocation, and that if more OF these trOub-
les continue, the settlement of the war
indemnity question would be difficult.
The Prussian officer in command said the
French people should be more coDcilia-
ted and all Southern Germany feel an ex-
asperating policy would threaten danger
to lhe new Empire.
