GEN. GRANT IN IRELAND.
An Enthusiastic Reception at Belfast.

New YORK, January 3. A Belfast despatch
says that at Coleraine, as Grant entered the
depot, he received an address, to which he
responded.
At Belfast his reception was extraordinary.
Mills stopped work and the workmen stood
out in the rain by thousands. The Mayor
and Council welcomed Gen. Grant, and public
luncheon was served, at which the Roman
Catholic Bishop of the diocese was given the
post of honor.
Gen. Grant goes direct to London, to await
the arrival of the steamer Richmond.
His visit to Ireland has aroused party and
religious feeling. One infiammatory appeal
calls upon Irishnen to welcome Gen. Grant
as the great Orange republican, who had shot
dead sixty Papists who attempted to stop an

lieved that if he had gone to Cork riot
would have occurred.

of the Mayor, who represented the city, an
Agent was appointed, who, however, is not to
be commissioned to perform any duties until
after the first day Of September next. Pre-
vious to that time the city will have complet-
ed the job and opened the road to public
travel. Hon. Joseph Baker, who represented
the petitioners for an agent, consented to the
suggestion of the Mayor. Among the several
candidates proposed for agent, Mr.. Sullivan
Kilbreth of Manchester, was selected. The
postponement of the appointment of an agent
was urged before the board solely on the
ground that the city intended to build the road
and in fact had put the granite work under
contract.

the Selectmen be committee to ascertain the

steps toward ample protection. In this mat
