The Lord Mayor of Dublin.

NEW YORK, September 3O.-The
Lord Mayor of Dublin and Lord Nav
Dress and suites are creating pleasant
excitement in our city. They are very
much sought after, so much SO in fact
that managers find it pays to present
them with box, and then advertise
that the distinguished party will honor
their theatre by their presence On
certain evening. Of course the house
was crowded, the orchestra performs
Irish airs, the actors do their best, and
the entertainment is a success. The
Lord Mayor thinks our theatres and
hotels are the finest in the world. He
is staying with his suite at the Wind
sor, so he has fine opportunity to judge
OF first-class American hotel. Mr..
Gilmore, who is an Irishman, took his
band up to the Windsor the other
night. and serenaded his disti n guished
countrymen, which little attention was
highly appreciated The Irish ladies
were very much interested in the IH-
ternational Rife match, AMI are great
ly surprised that the American ladies
did not take more interest in the con-
test, The Lord Mayor and the Lady
Mayoress and their suites were all on
the ground at Creedmoor on Saturday,
and their presence Was one Of the fea-
lures OF the day. The betting was
two to one on the Irish team, and the
greatest surprise was expressed at the
victory OF the Americans. The Irish
team had had SO much practice in heavy
trigger, long range sho hooting, that their
success seemed almost certain. Ameri-
cans are the best shots in the world with
hair triggers, and at short distances.
They think nothing of driving in nail
at thirty PAGES, or hitting a moving
object at one hundred and fifty PAGES.

lowing:
Henry Ward Beecher was before
the Brooklyn Grand Jury to-day, and
listened to the draft of an indictment,
reclting that Theodore Tilton wickedly
and maliciously, and with intent to in
jure and scandalize the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher in his good name, fame
and character, subjecting him to con-
tempt and disgrace, and to provoke
him and his friends to commit breach
Of the peace, published, on or about

Brooklyn and elsewhere, false, scan-
dulous and malicious libel concerning
him." The part of the article referred
to was the alleged commission of adult
cry, in October, 1868, with Mrs. Til
ton, and an assertion as to the doubtful
paternity Of her child, which was born
the following year.
The Grand Jury also read to Beech
er second indictment against Frank
D. Noulton, which is worded similarly
to that found against Tilton, charging
him with libeling Beecher by causing
the publication of false, malicious and
saaderous reports in the Daily Graph,
&C.
After Mr.. Beecheer left, the Grand
Jury presented the indictment to the
Court of Sessions, and were discharged
by Judge Moore, who thanked them
for their services.
Counsel for the Brooklyn Eagle this
morning appeared before Judge Nelson
and asked that the two suits for libel
brought against his clients by Henry
G. Bowen, be consolidated. The de-
clson was reserved.
