THE HORIZON AGAIN ovERCAsT

LONDON, April Ill.
The scenes at Lord Leitrim's funeral
in Dublin Yesterday, were very violent
and disgraceful. The mob that gath
cred in front of the church endeavored
to capture the hear-e, declaring their
intention to drag out the corpse. They
vituperated the late Earl as an old ruff
fan and hereto. They also climbed
the wall of the c~hurchyard, hustled
the mourners, and cheered, yelled and
Missed during the reading of the SER
vices. Several mourners were rough
ly handled while ~endeavoring to make
their way into the churchyard, and all
of them had to pass out by an unfre-
quented way in the rear of the church
t escape violence. Fifty constables
were present, but were wholly INSULT
cient to cope with The mob, many OF
whom were armed.

A st. Petersburg correspondent tel
egraphs as follows: The horizon is
again overcast. The change is attrib-
uted to the speeches made in the Brit.
ish Parliament, to the consequent Al
teration of the Austrian cabinet, and

act as a mediator. 1t is believed in

an intention of goingto war.
