MIA. The doors of the Town Hall having
been shut against the Orange leaders, the
crowd, or portion Of it, attempted to form
a procession. Its immense ajority were
composed of Bogside men, and a dreadful
| collision between the antagonstic elements
was imminent. At this critical moment
the police, foot and mounted, dashed upon
the concourse from front and rear, and a
wiid and alarming scene ensued. The
crowd were pressed and scattered. The
clviiian's and police became mixed, and
hand to hand struggles took place; bnt the
moo was dispersed, and fled in all direc-
ions. Messrs. Rea and johnson led the
attempted procession, and these gentlemen
were somewhat roughly handled in the
confusion. The mounted Constabulary
charged right through the mob, a solid
Ioiuihh OF foot taking them in the rear and
anu other badges were torn off the persons

people behaved with extraordinary for
oearance. Some twenty of the procession
forced their way through to the Cathedral,

and Johnston addressed the meeting,

and boys at the school in Pump street. At

IMMENSE MEETING IN GALWAY.
-, Galway has given back its answer. On
tuesday last II representative meeting of
the clergy and people, vast in its proper
tons and unanimous in it's spirit, assem-
oied IN Athenry, for the purpose, the re-
port mas 1t, OF giving practical effect to
me resolutions of the clergy of Tuam,
Clonfert, kilmacduagh, and Galway in ia
vor OF Captain NOlan's caudidature." The
meeting was held in the open air; the day
was cold and raw, the rain fell in chilling
showers, and sharp wind swept the space
III winch the people assembled. But the
enthusiasm of the Galway electors was
proof against the inclemency of the wealth
or, and Il vast multitude assembled to hear
the resolutions discussed and to support
them by their voices. The chair was taken
by the worthy parish priest of Athenry,
ana al letters, warmly recommending Captain
Nolan for adoption by the electors, were
read from the Archbishop of Tuam, the
Blshop of Galway, the Bishop elect ofClon-
1ert, and Mr.. Martin, NIP. DR.. MacIIale
describes the issue before the electors as
involving decision of the question whether
the electors hold the franchise in trust for
exclusive benefit of their enemies. Dr.
McEvilly, in an able letter, exposed the
real meaning of the delusive cries with
winch tine gentry ARE attempting to ill.,
ducc the people to abandon the path of
duty; while DR.. Duggan, i'll Il few stirring
sentences, declared In favor of the man
who, "by the Portacarron Award, has
given an examplc-by restoratlon-of the
only form Of reparation adequate to the
wrong inflicted by 'caprcious eviction.'n
MIR. Martin-in letter written in his usual
earnest and patriotic spirit-calls on Gal
way electors to "vote fearlessly "a their
conscience and their Judgment bids :" and
the same appeal rings out through most of
the addresses delivered by the speakers.
We cannot so through the resolutions and
speeches here but we cannot avoid direct
ing attention to the able, thoughtful and
manly address which proceeded from Cap
tain Nolan Himself. In that speech Cap
tain Nolan conclusively proved that he has
been no lnattentive observer of the course
OF Irish affairs, and Is no tyro in Irish
politics. He evidently brings to the con-
slderati"n of the National question a ma
tured judgment and Il cultured mind and
we look forward with anticipations of the
most measurable character to the effect of
his advocacy upon the progress of the Irish
cause in Parliament.
THE UNIVERSITY QUESTION.
The Saunders of Thursday had u COM
munication from its London CORRESPONDENT
to the effect that the Irish University
question has again been under the consid-
Grafton of the Cabinet, and that Its men,
beers find no little difficulty at arriving at
an agreement upon the subject. According
to the rumor, the Chancellor of the Exche.
quer has resolutely resisted all concession
whatever to the demands of the Roman
Catholic prelates, and some high worfs
have passed between him and Lord Halifax
and Mr.. Foltescue. Mr.. Lowe, however.
adhcrcs to his principle with great peril
nacity, aud has minated that, rather
than sanction any extension of the demon
national principle in Ireland, he will
resign.
rHINCELY GENEROSITY. ..,
Our readers must be pleased to hear that
Lord Waterford has inst given to the
world another instance of that charitable
generosity which has been ever IL distin-
