 Populace Hooting the soldiery-A Col Ifsion Imminent.
 DUBLIN, Nov. 1.-The tenants of Long. l ford county, in the province of Leinster, have l threatened the landlords and their agents with l death if they are required to pay rents above Griffith's valuation.
 The peasantry are gathering in great num- bers at Ballinrobe. The Monaghan and Clones contingents of the expedition which is proceeding to the relief of Baycott at Lough Mask have formed junction and will proceed immediately to Claremorris. The force of 15O infantry with two rifed guns and l5o of the royal Irish constabulary to es- cort the Orangemen arrived at C1aremorris this afternoon, and proceeded to march to Baycott's residence at Lough Mask. A large detachment of police had been previously de- tailed to protect the road for a distance of twenty miles, which was to be tramped by the troops. The officers under the direction of the government had tried in vain to pro- cure conveyances to save the men the long and wearisome march, but all the car owners refused positively all inducements ts hire out their vehicles, saying it would be as much as their live 0ere worth to assist the govern ment in any way. The Eighty-eighth regi- ment and a detachment of cavalry are ex- pected to join the army of protection at Holly Mount on the Claremorris road. The local officials are busily engaged to-day in prepar- ing the workhouse as an lnhrmary for the re- ception of the wounded, but the government has strictly cautioned the troops to exercise the greatest possible forbearance and not by any means to fire upon the people except un- der the most critical circumstances.
 When the troops and police left Castlebar to-day to reinforce the Claremorris contin- gent great excitement prevailed among the multitude which had assembled to witness their departure. The inhabitants booted at the soldiery and police, and seeing some Orangemen among them they shouted "Down with the Orangemen. It was only by the strenuous exertion of the officers in command hastening the movement of the troops that serious collision was prevented. Owing to the great excitement and the departure of thousands of peasantry for Caremorris the Nationalists have issued notices urging the people to remain at home and let the govern ment display its despotism unheeded. More than 6,000 troops and police are now stationed to protect the road between Ballinrobe and Claremorris. The fear is indulged in Dublin that the agra rian troubles have only begun.
 After long argument the Court of Queens Bench to-day granted the application of the ticulars of the acts alleged to have been con- mitted by the traversers. These particulars will be furnished on Monday.
 The action of the government in aiding the Baycott agent of Lord Erne against the Land Leaguers and their sympathizers has still further embittered the quarrel between him and them, and it is said that some of the more violent or thoughtless of the peasantry openly threaten that Baycott will not live until spring. Instructions have been given to the commanders of the forces which are now passing into Ireland, that if the people resort to arms the military are to act as if in actual warfare. This adds to the bitterness of the people, who remember the terrible in- depreciation that former English generals gave to similar orders. It is hoped that no collision will occur between the people and the military sent to protect Baycott but if the Orangemen who have volunteered to as- sist him are permitted to interfere 1t is scarce ly possible that bloodshed will be avoided.
 There was 6 great demonstration of Or angemen in Belfast last night. The meeting passed off quietly.
 The excitement throughout Ireland is in tense and it Is feared bloodshed is inevitable Over 1000 troops are now in the west.
 Orange LabOrers at Ba1IInrobe.
 BALLINRoBE, Nov. 11.-Over thirty Orange laborers arrived here this evening escorted by large bodies of infantry and cavalry. Thou sands of people collected and booted and ieered them. They will commence the gath ering of Mir. Baycott's crops Friday. The Orangemen of Dublin will send detachment to form commissary department for labor CTS who are lodging in tents. The weather is very inclement. A small detachment of artillery with two guns have also arrived here.
 There are now sixty Orangemen here. Their march from Claremorris was unmolest- ed. Each Orangeman carried a revolver in his pocket, but otherwise they were unarmed except with their spades, etc., to be used in their work at Baycott's farm. The military behaved very well. AS they marched along cries were raised by the crowd at different rlaces, 'They will never come back.' The whole railway route is patrolled by the police and military.
 Leo's Sympathy With the People.
 ROME, Nov. 1.-The Pope receiving the Irish bishops to-day said he sympathized with and praised Ireland's fidelity to the Ro- man church. He asked the priests and the people to act unitedly to avoid revolution. One of the bishops told the Pope that the present movement was not revolutionary that Irishmen were loyal and were merely fighting out the great question constitutionally.
