Reception Of ROchefort in Ireland.
NEW YORK, June 3O.-The London cores
ponnent of the Tribune says that extreme suf-
terlng by seasickness was the cause of Roche
forts landing at Queenstown His arrival was
unexpected, but a ferocious crowd gathered
quickly around him. There was plenty of
yelling and hooting, and would have been vio-
lence but for the police. As the opponent of
priests and McMahon, Rochefort would natur-
ally be disliked by such Roman Catholic Irish
as might happen to have heard of him. but the
immediate cause of the mob is probably to be
found in the Reuter- despatch from New York
alleging that ROchefort had published a letter
approving of the murder of the Archbishop of
Paris, calumny which can hardly he excused.
He was followed from the pier to his hotel and
again to the railway station, from which hap
pily the mob was SHUT out. He passed through
the day he drove about the neighborhood of
Dublin with his friend Oliver Pain. On the
evening of Wednesday he left for London via
Holyhead. All Irishmen are not alike. The
nationalist of Droghea have named commit
tee to ask Rochefort to lecture there, with
promise of warm reception, but he is on his
way to Rotterdam.
