| meeting was nelQ to-day az AgnaQOufrs near
Castle Bar, County Mayo; ten thousand peo-
pie were present..
Monroe, in opening the case for prosecution,
pointed out that sedition meant not only open 9
violence but anything calculated to incite
disafection or to set one class against another.
He then proceeded to call evidence. Rea,
Solicitor Of Belfast, and himself at one time
political prisoner, defended Killen. The
prisoners all looked we'll and chatted uncon- 5
cernedly. The court room was crowded al
though tickets were necessary to secure adj
mission. The London councillor for DAILY
applied for copy of the notes which the
government short hand writer had taken at
the meeting. The application was granted,
SLIGO, Nov. PA number of police were.
examined TO prove the general character Of the.
Guerton meeting and the incendiary words on
which the indictments against the prisoners
are founded. In consequence of the mag
| istrates leaving the bench during a short
pause caused by indisposition of witness
Linden applied for the release of the prison
oners as the magistrate left the bench without
adjourning court OF remanding the prisoners.
The application was overruled.
Monroe, in describing the character of the
meeting at Gulton alluded to the illegal use
of infammatory language and to the presence
of men armed with imitation pixies and carry
ing banners inscribed with dsloyal notices.
After the policemen present at the meeting had
been examined, Mr.. Monroe applied for the
committal of Daily, who was accordingly COM
mitted for trial, bail being accepted. T.
Killen and Davitt were remanded for fur
ther examination. On the news of Days
liberation reaching Castle Bar there was great
rejoicing; illuminations were prepared to
celebrate his arrival; Mayo will insist upon
his being its popular representative in Parlia-
ment.
DUBLIN, Nov. 25.-The government engi-
neer has surveyed the districts bordering ON
the Shannon river with a view to the COM
mencement by the government of the scheme
for their drainage which is to cost
twenty thousand pounds. The prospect of
, employment for laborers in these districts IS
!, regarded with great satisfaction. London
, dispatch from Dublin to the Times says =
While the Irish agitatOrs tell the public they
are engaged in a legal and constitutional agi-
, tation and ostensibly advise the people to
keep within the law, the country abounds
with evidence that different Interpretation
has been put upon their language. Threat
e ening notes and acts of violence are practical
I comments upon their words These are evil
|, omens for winter which is beginning to be
e felt.
t A correspondent of the Times calls atten-
ton to the brisk trade doing at the Irish fairs

Ill that future prospects are jeOpardized by the
he badness of seed wheat, really good samples OF
IS which are exceedingly scarce. Operations in
Scotland are more backward, but if the wealth
