THE LATE RIOT IN DUBLIN,
LONDON, August 8.-A dispatch from
Dublin says the city is quiet, but that the
excitement OF the popuace has not sub-
sided. It is generally thought that the sym.
pathisers in favor of the Fenian prisoners
have not given up the idea of holding ano-
ther meeting in spite of the prohibition OF
authorities. -...,.
The sentiment of a majority of the peo.
pie is in favor Of granting amnestylto all
Fenian prisoners; but violent opposition to
the authorities Is generally deprecated
The belief was that tue royal visit would be
made an opportunity blythe Cover iiment
for the release of imprisoned Fenians. The
populace are very bitter against the Prince
of Wales because he has not intcrceded for
amnesty.
The whole police force is still on the
alert, and the military consigned to the bar
racks to be ready, if called upon, to aid the
police.
Thus far no deaths are reported, but it i:
thought that five or ten persons will die Of
injuries received in the riot.
Superintendent OF Police Howe is in ;
critical condition, but hopes are entertain
ed for his recovery. - ....
It Is yet uncertain whether the Govern
ment can legally prosecute Mr.. Smyth an(
other leaders of the demonstration.
