FENIAN ANNIVERSARY.  Sunday being the anniversary of the execution of Allen, Larkin, and O'Brien, hailed in Manchester in 1817, for the shooting of Police-sergeant Brett, several thousands of people, who walked in military array, with bands, proceeded to Glasnevin Cemetery in Dublin, and there visited the monuments erected for the three men, and the monument to O'Donnell hanged • couple of years ago for shooting the informer James Carey. The monuments were draped in black, and all the bandsmen and many of the procesaionists wore crape. Mr. Michael Davitt delivered an address, in the course of which he said the same Tory party who 20 years ago murdered Allen, Larkin, and O'Brien, ware now trying to break up the present national movement. The memory of these martyrs was now sending terror into the hearts of the Government. Mr. X. O'Brien, M.P., who was introduced as a Fenian who was condemned to be hanged, drawn, and quartered in 1867, also spoke.  A mitrrrin was held on Sunday in the proathedral at Queenstown, under the auspices of the National League, the object being specially to hear an address from the English delegates now in Ireland. Resolutions were passed condemning the arrest and trial of Mr. Wm. O'Brien and the treatment of political prisoners in Tullamore Gaol, and denouncing the entire policy of the Government in Ireland. It was further resolved to stop all hunting in the district, at least during Mr. O'Brien's imprisonment.
