 LONDON, Feb. 13.-Dillon and O'Brien, accompanied by several Scotland Yard detectives, left here this morning for Ireland, and the two eXiles will soon be behind :he bars in Clonmel jail, serving their six months sentence.
 At half-past six last night the Folkestone train, by which Messrs. Dill lon and O'Brien were travelling under an escort of police, arrived at Charing Cross Railway station. Col. John F. Nolan, M. P; John O'Connor, M. F., and a crowd of friends who had been noti- fled of the arrest were waiting at the station, and as the train came to a standstill at the platform they besieged the carriage which contained the two Members of Parliament who were in custody. The most cordial greetings were exchanged between the prisoners and their friends, all parties being cour, teously treated by the police. Inspector Littlechild, of Scotland Yard, who was in charge of tine police escort, after pause sufficient to allow Messrs Dillon and O'Brien to receive the greetings of their friends, escorted his prisoners to q carriage which was in waiting near the platform, and they were driven to Scotland Yard.

Hannibal Hamblin Delivers mn Address
 in New York.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 13. The fifth an nual dinner of the Republican Club, com memorative of of the sgd anniversary of Abraham Lincoln, at Delmonico's last night, was held in some sense under a shadow, as it was feared the festivities might at any moment be terminated by the announcement of the death of Gen. Sherman. Those in charge were kept informed of his condition and it had been arranged that a speech would be made in his honor in case of death and the proceedings end.
 The speech of the evening was that of Hannibal Hamlin to the second toast, '"The Surviving Standard Bearer of 1S6O." He received an enthusiastic re- ception.
 He said he cams Go do homage to one of the greatest men the world had ever known, leaving his home at the hazard of his health. He came to pay a tribute to Abraham Lincoln. He was not an educated but a learned man. The world was the school from which he graduated; his professors, the men he met and from whom he learned his made at Gettysburg will stand as a rich product in literature for all time.
 The speaker continuing, said: II am young in Republican1sm, though old in years, but am grieved at the action of some of our Congressmen. They cast a shadow over my later days. am grieved at the dishonesty and degrada- tion of some of our Senators. He hoped the club would cooperate with him to secure the passage of a law to make the birthday of Lincoln a national holiday similar to that oi Washington. In low voice he con- | cluded:
 Remember, can see the boys in blue as they march in their solitary beats in eternal camping ground, and can hear their voices telling us to do by Lincoln l as they would do had God changed, in His inscrutable wisdom, our relativ ( positions"
 Congressman Mason, of Illinois, who | sat next to Mir. Hamlin, said that he anG Senator Higgins, of Delaware, who was also present, had decided to introduce { bill in Congress at once to make Lin coln's birthday a national holiday.

 NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-Daybreak brought a decided change for the worse in Gen. Sherman's condition.
 For three hours after midnight the loving keepers of the dreary vigil had noticed that the pulsations of the heart had gradually grown weaker and the patient had sunk into a lethargy from which nothing could arouse him. His vitality seemed about exhausted, and lis life apparently was oozing away.
 Later new danger was made mani fest. Mucous collected upon the lungs, power to relieve himself of, and there was danger of his choking to death. At times he started up and tried to rise, but his limbs refused their office. The physicians sought in every way to re- lieve him. but 1t seemed in vain, and matters were at a desperate stage. Before the House.
 Without the house a solitary police man paced up and down, telling each inquirer that hope had almost fed. Sturdy working men withl their tin buckets paused to ask after the General, and ladies and gentlemen in fine car riages rode up to the curb and sent in their cards or went in themselves to ask personally how went the tide of battle. Two Sisters of Charity entered the house and remained there long, praying for the dying chieftain and administer ing to his sorrowing daughters. Many of those who came out of the house brought eyes that were red with weep ing.

doctors said. All hope was gone. He had been unconscious some time. His lungs were full His face was purple. His breath came in short, quick gasps. Mucous rattled in his throat. The dew of death gathered on his wrinkled fore- head as fast as it could be wiped away. Finis seemed written on the scanned face. Only the will remained uncon quered.
 The weeping family gathered about the bedside. The gentle Rachel had her arms about her father. The Senator stood leaning on the head board looking into the face of his elder brother. Young Mir. Barrett, the private secretary, who had been hastily summoned from his vacation, and the !""izzled friend, Gen. Tom Ewing, were N> eping little apart. Doctors Janeway and Green bent over the knotted form fighting stubbornly for Time.
 A messenger had been despatched post haste for one of the two priests at the nearby church of the Blessed Sacrament, and Father Byrnes responded And then before this little company the most solemn service of the Church of Rome was administered, and Gen. Sherman was annointed with the holy oil. But the old soldier had not yet sur rendered. Again he rallied his forces mlSuLtIy, duu In6 IOFtuueS OL war were again in his favor.
 A sudden fit of coughing freed his lungs of large quantity of mucus. He | was given some whisky and milk, fol lowed by distilled water, and the effect was astonishing. The doctors who had sent out bulletins to the effect that he could not live another hour are now put ting forth promising bulletins. | Dr. Janeway, when he left the house, said that nothing but the marvellous vitality of Gen. Sherman kept him alive. It was will power.
 | In answer to the question of a reporter the Doctor said: "There is no material | change in the condition of Gen. Sher- man. There is no improvement and he may be said to be holding his own. That he is not better was to be expected; that he is not worse gives room for hope. | "Gtve Me Hand, Tom."
 At 10 o'clock last night the General recovered from semi-delirium and in. sisted upon rising from his bed. He seemed to know those about him, and tc Gen. Ewiwg he hoarsely whispered:
 "Give me hand, Tom, and put me II my feet"
 It was thought best to humor him and he was supported in his walk across tn sick chamber to his easy chair. He could hOS up1 Ao"0fcEy anu was uEouSut back to bed.

 At the same time General McClernand arrived to take command of the expedi- tion by order of President Lincoln and
 the army of the Tennessee was reorgan.
 ized into the 18th, 18th, 18th and 17th corps, of which Sherman had command
 of the 10th. Sherman bore a conspicu. ous part in the campaign which followed
 and in the siege operations which re- suited in the surrender of Vicksburg on
 July 4, 1868. Sherman was at once or dered to pursue Johnston, who retreated hastily from position near the Big
 Black on receiving the news of the sur | render.
 Johnston escaped and Sherman, after | destroying the railroads in all directions,
 fell back to the west of the Big Black, | where he lay until summoned on Sept.

 army at Chattanooga. Meanwhile he | had been made brigadier-general in the | regular army, to take effect from July 4.
