Correspondence of the New York Herald.]
DUBLIN, July 81, 1S74.-The great event
OF the week here has ueen the arrival of Mr..
John Mitchell, the distinguished Irish exile,
after IN absence Of twenty-six years from his
native land. The announcement in the. He
raid of bis departure from New York must
have been telegraphed to some OF his friends
in Ireland, for, when, with his daughter, he
resched Queenstown on the 26th instant in
the steamer Idaho, q number OF persons were
Assem- ,Ied to meet and cheer him. He SEEM
ed 10 be faligued after the voyage. On his
arrival at Cork he drove Immediately to the
Victoria Hotel, which was at once surround
cd by crowds of Nationalist, who IN the
most enthusiastic manner welcomed Dack
the exile. The people cheered and cheered
again, until they seemed to be able to ap-
pIaud no more. Bands paraded the streets,
aud, as soon as night fell, ! torchlight pro.
ces,ion was formed. 1t was supposed that
Dir. Mitchell would, at the hotel, address the
people, but the fatigue of the journey and
the present state of bis health prevented
this, and in the course of the evening he re-
tired to a suburb Of the city, called Sundays
Well, on a visit to friend. This fact be.
coming known to the people they proceeded
10 that place, preceded by bands and by
torchlight procession. Hating opposite the
house where Mr.. Mitchell was staying, the
band serepadcd him, and the crowds gave
utterance to vociferouS shouts OF applause.
A deputation presented him with an address,
as already stated, couched in words OF affec-
Tomato welcome. Mr.. Mitchell made brief
reply. The impression was that Mr.. mitchell
would leave Cork on the 9th OF July for
Dublin, but owing to continued fatigue be
was unable to do so.
THE METROPOLITAN GREETING.
Tn Dublin crowds of citizens assembled on
Monday at the railway station-hing's
Bridse-expecting that Mr.. Mitchell would
be A passenger by the train from Cork; but
they were disappointed. He did not come.
The people displayed the utmost good feel
ing and the best of order. They carried
several banners and flags, including the ma
tional flg of the great Republic of America.
On Tuesdar, the 2Stb, MIR. Mitchell, accom-
panied by his daughter and DR.. Carroll, OF
Philadelphia, left Cork by an early train Tor
Dublin. Only few friends were aware of
his departure, which was conducted in the
most private manner. At Inchicore-which
is station Oh the railroad about mile and
u half from Dublin-the party was met by
MIR. James Cantwe, an old frien3 and
political associate Of Mitchel's. They drove
at once to the Amiens-street terminus
of the Dublin and Belfast railroad, where
where Mr.. Mitchell, at 2 P. NJ, caught
THE TRAIN FOR NEWRY,
where he arrived at halfpast at the resi-
dence of his brother.in-law, Mr.. Hill Irvine,
Dromalane House. Mr.. Irvine is country
gentleman, holding Her Majesty's commits
sion of the peace. Mr.. Mitchell will also be
the guest of Mr. John Martin, III. P, also
his brother-in. law.
ssRENADED IN THE NORTH.
at night, in Newry, when it was known
that MIR. Mitchell had arrived, the people
Joined in public rejoicing, and torchlight
procession paraded through the principal
thoroughfares. From the facts above stated
it Is easy to see that for the present, at least,
MIR. Mitchell desires to avoid anything in the
shape of a public demonstration. He re.
uuires repose and rest. His health has not
been good, but there is every reason to hope
and believe that the air Of his native land,
which land he loves so well, will soon re!
store him to perfect consalescence.
TIE SOUTH RESPONDS.

| Nationalist of that city intend to invite Mr.
Mitchell to a splendid banquet to be given Of

dency of Mr.. William II. USulliyan, mem

PARLIAMENTARY HONOR.
