The Irish Troubles.
SLIGO, November pa A number of police
were examined to prove the general charac-
ter of the Gurteen meeting, and the incendi-
airy words on which indictments against the
prisoners were founded. In consequence of
magistrates leaving the bench during short
pause caused by the indisposition Of a wit
ness, Mr.. Lauden applied for the release of
the prisoners, as the magistrates left the
bench without adjourning the court or re-
handing the prisoners. The application was
over-ruled.
Later. Mr. Monroe, in describing the
character of the meeting at Gurteen, alluded
to the alleged use of infammatory language,
and to the presence of men armed with ini-
tatiOn pixies and carrying banners inscribed
with disloyal notices. After the policemen
who were present at the meeting had been
examined, Mr.. Monroe applied for the COM
initial of DAILY, who was accordingly COM
mitted for trial, bail being accepted. Killsn
and Davitt were remanded for further exami-
nation. On the news of Days liberation
reaching Castelar, there was great rejoicing.
Illuminations were prepared to celebrate his
arrival. The County of Mayo will insist
upon his being its future representative in
Parliament.
DAILY was required to give 500 pounds Sc
curity and find two sureties in 250 pounds
each to answer to charges against him at the
next Sligo asszes.
great demonstration took place at Dun
dee, Scotland, tonight, at which 5000 persons
were present. The resolutions condemned
the arrest of the Sligo prisoners.
The prominent home ruler whose presence
Beaconsfeld requested at his official resi-
dence Saturday, is Philip Callan, member of
Parliament for Dundalk. Callan laid before

ton in the northwest and western districts
of Ireland, which showed the farmers and
laborers in the remote mountainous districts
needed help, both food and fuel.

IRISH Gatherings.
There were gatherings of Irishmen yes
terday in various parts of London, to consider
preparations for demonstration at Hyde
Park, Sunday next. Provincial contingents
| are expected from Manchester, New Castle,
Liverpool, Bristol, Cardiff and Glasgow. The
meeting at Manchester, yesterday, was
| failure.
The Irish Political Arrests.
| Newspapers of opposite political views
agree that the arrests of Davitt, Killen and
DAILY had the effect of reducing anti-rent agi-
tation to the abandonment of incendiary
speeches. The News thinks agitation will
hencefOrth become more disciplined and Or
gained, while the Times anticipates it will
soon die out, as the audiences at the meet
ings soon tire of listening to dull speeches.
| The only disquieting circumstances concern
ing the meeting at Balla, Saturday, was the
military order and discipline observed by
provisionsts, which evidently was the result
of training.
| The pastoral Of Arch Bishop McCabe eof
Dublin was read in all the Catholic churches
Sunday, declaring that all must take part in
bearing the burden Of bad harvests in Ire
land, but they must take care not to drive
God from their side by violation of his law.
Unfortunately men proclaiming sympathy for
the people are disseminating doctrines which
if pushed to logical conclusion strike at the
root Of good faith and mutual confidence.
