LONDON, Oct. 27.-A dispatch from Cora
| says that the scenes in the streets last
| night were most exciting. At nearly every
| corner Parnellites and anti -Parnellites were
| engaged in dispute, and would sometimes
| draw and hit each other resounding blows.
| Then the disputants would clinch and their
| friends on either side would come on, and
the battle would rage until broken up by
the police. To-day the city is again very
much excited. O'Mahoney is virtually
leader of the anti-Parnellite forces, and is
getting to be known as the fighting priest.
He can WELD bludgeon with the best. and
during the ARRAY at Black Rock he more
than once rallied his followers to attack on
the firm front of the Parnellites. Over
twenty Black Rock people are laid up in
their beds from the effects of Monday
nights ARRAY. During the struggle the
Parnellites tore the long tails off the coats
of their opponents.

and especially in this city, by the recent
political and factional sayings and d0ings, is
very bitter and threatens to result in Sc
rious conflicts between the McCarthyites

ARRAYS here yesterday evening at the close
of the various political meetings. Sticks
and stones were freely used by both par

A sermon preached last Sunday at Kill
kenney by Father Fideles of the Order OF
st. Francis is much commented upon here
and elsewhere. Father Fideles, upon that
occasion, bitterly denounced the late
Charles Stewart Parnell, saying that the
most depraved monster who ever lived was
now swept off the face of the earth. The
reverend gentleman said that those support
ing him were limbs of the devil, and that
the local workingmen's union was syna-
gogue of hell.
AS procession passed through the street
there was considerable kissing and hooting,
and several stones crashed through the
large portrait of Mr.. O'Brien, which was
carried in the parade. Upon arriving at
the assembly rooms Messrs. Dillon and
O'Brien were given an enthusiastic recep-
