Liberator" The Irish delegates from London came
prepared rather for fight than national festival
They came armed with revolvers instead of common
sense and in the barracks waited the troops, and an
order had been issued that the firing OF the first shot
the military would have arrested every amnesty in
the procession and all who we're found with arms in
their hands would have been summarily dealt with.
CARDINAL cULLEN's '.NFoRMATToN"
Tonight was have the conclusion of the fest
va-a display of fireworks in the Phoenix Park but the
Lord Mayor dreading further disturbances has just
issued proclamation postponing the exhibition
count of the weather Fortunately it has been raining
and the weather furnishes good preext for the pro-
hibton of the fireworks But the real reason happen
to know, is this:--Some one well informed com
muncated to Cardinal Cullen the fact that the
darkness OF tonight would be used to pre-
cipitate disturbance The secret armed men were
ready for bloody work and intended to have it, The
good Cardinal deemed it his duty to convey this nfor
nation to the Lord Mayor Accordingly His Eminence
was found coseted with the Lord Mayor early in the
day, and the result has been a postponement The
fireworks will not go Off Let hope also, that the
passions of the hour will be held check and that the
next great gatherng-to or Monday-will not
prove that the storm has only been postponed

affair as could have wished, notwithstanding the
fact that it bore too decided religious tinge hardly
need discuss the question as to whether or not the Lord
Mayor had the right in his official capacity TO propose
the toast of His Holiness the Pope before that of Queen
Victoria The result, however, say, that all
persons connected with the government kept away from
the banquet, and that the Lord Mayor brought upon
