very violent. Some policemen who re-
msined on duty on College street station
were brought out in a body, but were
obliged to retire before the mob. Additional

here as special constables. At a hastily
summoned meeting this afternoon, at which
strong anti-e Government speeches were de-

tween the Metropolitan police and the gov
ernment authorities has led to the with
drawal Of large number of police from the
protection OF the city. 1t is therefore my
duty to impress upon every citizen who Is
anxious for the safety of the city to per-
sonally cooperate for the preservation.
of peace and order. Self control and peace
ful demeaBor were never more necessary
than now, and l rely upon my fellow citi-
Zens to display these qualities. l am con-
fident that you will join with me in main
tanning order and tranquility.
Up to late hour tonight no overt act Of
violence had been committed, although the
streets are densely crowded. No police are
visible. A body of one hundred and sixty
Of the discharged police went to Queens
land emigration officers this afternoon,
and inquired II five hundred men
could be taken TO Queensland at
once. The suburbs OF Dublin will be
guarded by the constsbulary two hundred
and fifty OF whom have been ordered from
the department for the purpose. The gates
OF Dublin Castle were locked at five O'Clock
this afternoon. They are doubly guarded.

have taken no part in the strike up to the
present. At meeting of the corporation
this evening the Lord Mayor submitted q
series of resolutions expressing the anxiety
of the council at the difference existing
between the police and the executive, re-
GREETING that the same harmonious relations
prevailing between the police and municipal
councils OF England and Scotland do not

quence the corporation could take no Off
