LIVERPOOL, November GA meet
ing, the attendance at which is esti-
mated at $4,000 persons, was held oppo-
site st. Georges Hall to-day. Parnell
fully endorsed the speeches for which
the recent arrests were made. lie
stronly denounced the action OF the gov.
ernment, which, he predicted, would
utterly fail in its object, for the agitation
against landlordism, he said, would be
continued. The resolutions offered
by Parnell, and carried with enthusi-
asm, are to the effect thatthe arrests are
arbitrary, unconstitutional, and calcula-
ted TO wreck the confidence of the people
of Ireland in the impartialty OF the
law, and that the government which
squanders the blood and treasure OF the
people in unjust wars abroad, while
misery and famine are unreminded at
home, stands condemned in the eyes of
all right-minded and thoughtful men.
Mr.. Finnegan (Obstructionist), men,
Der of Parliament for Eunis, spoke
strongly in denunciation OF the Govern
ment.
There was no disturbance. The au-
thorities had taken great precautions.
The committee at prior meeting had
issued an appeal TO the Irish 10 main
tain firm but peaceful attitude.
There was torch light procession,
composed of four thousand persons, at
Kilrush, County Clare, Ireland, last
evening, which was Witnessed by an
immense crowd, who cheered for the
prisoners and O'Donovan Rossa. A
demonstration by unemployed laborers
has taken place at Ballna, County Mayo.
The Hyde Park Meeting.
LONDON, November 30.-The gather
ing in Hyde Park to-day, in response to
the call for an organized demonstration
i'm favor of the Irish agitators, consisted
of an immense mob. A fair sprinkling
OF green favors was observed, but by far
the greater number Of persons seemed
to be attracted more by curiosity than
sympathy. 4 good number of bands
enlivened the march from Trafalgar
Square, and many banners were display
ed, but not all OF these belonged TO
Home Rule associations. The process
sion was swollen by the Tichborne Re-
lief Association, the Democratic Work
ingmens' Club and similar bodies, not
in any manner connected with Ireland
or Irish agitation. Orators of these out
side the associations addressed separ-
ate groups while the main meeting was
in progress in the Park. One of the
principal speakeas OF the Irish sympathy
meeting proper was VIM. Archer Red
mond, Home Rule member of Parlia-
ment Tor Wexford. The speakers here
were surrounded by dense thrOng,
which cheered so enthusiastically as to
render the speeches utterly inaudible,
except, perhaps, to those on the
stand. The resolutions protesting against
the recent arrests OF Irish patriots, and
iavoring peace and prosperity in Ire.
land, were carried by acCIamatiOn. The
less noted speakers, particularly those
at the side meeting, used the most sedi-
tious language, and their utterances
seemed to create much amusement. The
authorities had apparently taken
no precautions whatever for the
maintenance of order. Only about
three policemen were in the vicinity Of
the meeting. When dark came on the
crowd dispersed and the delegations
marched to theirrespectiye headquarters
with bands playing various Irish airs.
