ON by number Of the leading citizens and
several clergymen. Bishop Ryan, the
Catholic Bishop of Buffalo. and Mr.. Cronin,
editor of the Catholic Union, were among the
callers and had pleasant interview. The
General then drove to the warehouses of
factories and shipyards. At the immense
shipyard where the White Star steamers
were built the workmen, numbering 1000,
gathered around Grants carriage and
cheered as they ran alongside. The public
buildings and many of the shops were
decorated. The weather was clear and
cold.
STARTING FOR DUBLIN.
At three o'clock in the afternoon the
General left for Dublin. Immense crowds
had gathered at the hotel and at the rail-
way station. The Mayor, with Sir John
Preston and the American Consul, James
M. Donnan, accompanied the General to the
depot. AS the train moved off the crowd
gave tremendous cheers, the Mayor taking
the initiative. One Irishman in an i'd
| vanced stage of enthusiasm called out,
"Three cheers for Oliver Cromwell Grant r
To this there was only a faint response.
CHEERS AND GOOD WISHES.
At Portadown. Dundalk, Drogheda and
the populations apparently turning out en-
n.asse. Grant was loudly cheered and
thousands surrounded the car with the
hope of being able to shake the General by
the hand, all wishing him safe journey.
One little girl created considerable
merriment by asking the General to
| give her love to her aunt in
America. All the Belfast journals, in more
or less acrimonious terms, denounce the
| action of the Council of Cork. At Dun
dalk the brother of Robert Nugent, who
was lieutenant colonel Of the Sixty-ninth
New York regiment in 1861 and afterward
commander of brigade in the Second
corps. Army of the Potomac, said he was

LOOKING ron FENIAN EMIssARIEs.
When the steamer was about to start the
Inspector of Detectives inquired infinitely
of the HERALp representative concerning
each member Of the Grant party then on
board, apparently to satisfy himself that
they were exactly the same gentlemen who
landed here five days ago, and that none
who came were disguised Fenian emissaries
masquerading as American generals, and
who had remained behind while allowing
some of their accomplices to get away under
| the same disguise
