by the Voce seems to be one-eyed maiden seeing
naught but what is specially pleasing to the Caria and
the Vatican. Anyhow, in its issue of August H. it

(''The Disturbances in Dubn'Y, an absurd article,
which is thus translated by the Dublin Nation of this
morning.
AN uLrRAMoNrASE VIEW
II was impossible that the European liberals who
still dcvourod with rage account Of the imposing and
magnificent festival of the centenary of OConnel,
should abstain from sending to the Irish liberals
to disturb in some way or another that festival And,
matter Of fact somc disturbances did in Dub
lin. But however the liberal newspapers may
endeavor cXaegcrae those disturbances they
deprive the festivities OF their spendOr and their
pOrtance
atng those disturbances was the selection OF the excel
lent Lord O'Hagan to deliver the panegyric Of OCon-

liberals educated and wcll-bred there everywhere

This language of the Butts, the Suvans the Powers,
show to what scum of the cdndiiie the hssers be-
longed who were employed to disturb the national
Catholic festival of Ireland

held But the Lord Mayor with spirit which does
him honor, withdrew together with the guests, allow

upon Mr Butt began to address them. But the Lord
Mayor caused the gas be first lowered and then
tinguished, leaving in darkness the children of dark
ness
The disturbance however, continued outside the
hail. along the streets of the city; whereupon the po
lice ntcrfered to compel the dsturbers to keep the
peace.
1t must be admitted that the liberals of Europe who
first inspired and uncourteously applaud the
dsturbers of the O'Connel festival, have been badly
served That Fenan, anti Catholic, liberal demonstra-
ton very wretched affair and proved only one
thing-the cowardy and abect spirit and tho anti
tional and ibera views OF the liberals OF all coun-
tries.
PErRUCELLI AND soNzoGNo

ber that Petrucei della Gatnan is of the polti-
clans of tho most advanced school from the Romagna
