DRESSES.
The Irish Land and Industrial League of New,
York. which was organized at q convention heId
last week, gave reception YESTERDAY fror
Ireland Tuesday last. The reception look piaIo
Jones's Wood, and was attended by upwards OF
1000 people On the platform beside the PeddS%Sns
chael Davitt, John Dillon, Mrs. PaTnell ana MISS
Anna PaInell aud Mr. Redpath. Dr. wallace;
President of the New-York branch OF the lrsn LAM
League, was called upon to preside. This ne SalI
was national reception to one whom they nlgnO
look upon as the voice of Ireland. LOud applause;
which followed by cheers for Mrs. ParneiL anu
Mr. Redpathl The chairman then read resolution
of the New-York Land League, welcoming NIL
Dayitt as the father of that great mOyenenI nov
on foot iu Ireland for the complete
that country" Mr.. Rowe next presented an auoIesS
from the Robert Emmett Celtic Society. ,, A.
MIR Dayitt then came forward and addresseu tne
crowd. He speaks easily and graceiuny anu LII Of
fresh earnest thoughts to illustrate his SUBJECT ne
Drefaced his remarks by saying that loii0 ,"
closely the footsteps of Mr.. Parneli, he had TO DC
careful not to go over the same ground and also ne
had to cope with another difficulty. He missed from
the scene the mudwalled cabins OF the west OF ire
land the men in rags and the children IN tatteis;
be missed the hills and plains aud streams that IN
spire man in his own country. without TINS IN
SEPARATION he feared that he could not do justice 10
his mission. He then told the origin or the move
ment and its present position, and pointed out how
nnsectarian and broad it was i'll its principle SO
much so that all might join in 1t. Not one penny
would be used for any other purpose than to reform
the land laws of the land but at the same time ne
lid not give up the hope of lrelands ultimate sell,
government and independence. Loud appause'I
Ono party in Ireland vas insufficient to
carry forward this work. The landlords had the
wealth of Ireland at their back and the soldeTy ana
cOnstabulary TO carry out their will; they had q
government the most unscrupulOus in the world 10
back them up lHsses.l The speaker then re-
feTred to several cruel evctons which Mr.; hedpath
had witnessed when in his company IN Ireland. ana
remarked parentheticay that Mr.. Redpath's letters
to The TRIBUNE had been Of immense service TO
Ireland, and had made the writer the most popular
American that was known in ireland. On behalf of
the rescued people he returned thanks for the gen.
erosity of tho American public. .
mentary addresses wero made to Mr.. Davitt and
the NEE ting then adjourned.

TRYING TO RECLAIM CRIMINALS.

meeting in aid of the Gospel Mission to the
Tombs was held last evening in the Brick ChurGh,
at Fiftli-ave. and Thrty-seventh-st. The Rev. Dr.
s. NJ Hamilton presided. Addresses were made by
the Rev s. G.. Low, chaplain Of the Mission. and b.
l.. Lentilhon, the secretary. and by the Rev. Drs;
s. /. Prime and Arthur Brooks. Mr.. Lentllhon salu
that since December last only 5000 had been re-
ceived in support of the Mission, or $500 less than
the sum given last year. The public is asked to
give 81 800 u year, but the receipts have never
exceeded 81 400. In addition to the sum necessary
for the support of the chaplain money is needed to
assist released prisoners who find themselves
destitute and temporarily without employ
ment. The Rev. Mr.. Low narrated his ex,,
perience with criminals, many of whom had
reformed and are now useful citizens. He said that
the prisoners were always glad to hear him. and
that only once had he been repulsed. Among the
$4,000 prisoners who were annually registered at
the TOmbs there were many to whom religious mes:
sages come with sOftenng influence as memories OF
the past while to some they were entirely novel.
The Rev. DR.. Prime read his personal remlnis-
cences of the TOmbs with which he had been IA
mlar for forty ye,Ts. lie gave an account OF
visit paid thirty-sx years ago to the pirate Babe"
who was then under sentence of death. but who was
pardoned by the President OF the United States, 1t
was supposed, through the influence of prominent
family of New-York, of which the pirate was an
nnacknowled member. The Rev. DIR. Brooks
said lie favored the work of the Mission because 1t
recommended itself to his economic theories by
seeking TO prevent the loss of so much power Of
manhood through vice and crime.
