 DUBLIN, Aug 15.-The celebration of the centenary of Irish legislative independence, the unveiling of the O'Connen national me- morial and the opening of the national exhi bition commenced this morning with the mastering of the grand procession in Ste- phen's Green. The trades of Dublin and the country deputations mustered forty thousand strong, and with bands and banners they marched from the Mansion House in Dawson street through Dame street, down Parliament street, over the river by Grattan bridge, through the northern portion of the city and down Sackville street to the O'Connell mon- ument, where the first imposing ceremony was to be performed at two o'clock by the Lord Mayor, namely the unveiling of the statue of O'Connell The morning dawned amid heavy showers of rain, but before ten o'clock the sun was shining bright. Under the genial influence Of the fine weather the national enthusiasm ran very high. The whole route taken by the procession was lined by thousands of spectators all wearing national emblems and preserving the best of order. The streets were spanned by arches and green medallions of O'Connell met the eye at every corner In the display of flags and banners the uni versal stars and stripes and the tricolor rival the green flag with its crowuless harp, while the Union Jack and English flags are con- spicuous by their absence. The Land League offices on Sackville street are the center of attraction. flag from one window bears the legend, ''Remember the Boers." A large scroll along the front of the building shows the lines "Cowards' hearts are self subdu- ing, fetters lost by slaves renewing" Not a single flag was displayed on the public build ings The demonstration is entirely confined to the national section of the people. AL though the wet morning kept thousands home, it is estimated that at least one hun drsd thousand persons were assembled around OConnells monument in Sackville street awaiting the unveiling ceremony. Hardly policeman was to be seen in the streets. The troops were confined to their barracks, and the public houses were closed. The enthusiasm so far has been unmarred by single untoward &C., cident. The muster of the Irish members of Parliament, headed by Parnell and the Catholic hierarchies and priests and repre- sentatives of the municipal bodies, was very strong. prominent feature of the process sion was the triumphal car in which O'Con nell rode through Dublin on the occasion of his release from Richmond prison after the State trial of 1S46.
 At ten minutes to one o'clock the Lord Mayor amid tremendous outburst of cheer- ing raising of handkerchiefs and clash of ! bands unveiled the statue. The cheering 1oot oto1S 1yr1iu ha d. ed, the high sheriff, MT. Gray, M. F., read 1 an address handing over the monumens to ! the municipality of Dublin, which concluded with the following words:
 "Let us trust distant date this monument will look down pon 8 scene of triumph and rejoo- before which the popular pageant of to-day will lighted thousanhs around this monumsnt and when
 G @ Isa se sns eS umphed at last and that Irish parliament will ! again reassemble in tho Irish capital"
 Unfortunately at this moment the rain ! again began to fall heavily and continued during the Lord Mayors address, which was ! heard only by those on the platform. His ! Lordship referred in terms of reverence and gratitude to the services rendered to his
 co religionists in Ireland, and com
 pared the work of the committee O'Connell himself. He added that no one
 could deny that Brock had realized in ths l work the ideal of his great master. The
 work of Ireland is not yet done. Her lant
 reform is not yet complete and Is still re
 stricted, industries are yet lapGuid and ths
 national Legislature is still absent. All thes
