LONDON CLUBS AND SOCIETY.
LONDON CLUBS AND SOCIETY. (FBOM OUB OWN CORRESPONDENT.) After the luncheon with the Lord M. or Mr. Gladstone looked into the exhibition of turnery at the Mansion House. For a man who is supposed by some people to be consumed with revengeful satisfaction over the incarceration of Mr. Parnell, he shewed a surprising interest in comparatively unimportant objects. Mr. Glad- stone is a member of the Turners' Company, and has reason to pride himself on his knowledge of wood. He critically examined the exhibits, and was much amused to find that one of the articles had been manufactured from a piece of wood taken from a tree he had himself cut down at Hawarden. The great gale was the most extraordinary that the majority of Londoners can remember. In the road in which I live a huge tree was broken off close to the roots, and fell with a terrific crash upon the roof of a house on tl e other side of the way. On the whole, the chimney pots manfully did their duty. Thete was a great panic in the Strand, however, when one of them fell upon the head of an unfor- tunate gentleman who, unconscious of his doom, was talking with some friends. After this every- body was afraid to remain stationary for a moment. The Metropolitan Railwav Company are laud- ably anxious to use the electric light in all their itations. They have come to the conclusion that two engines will be sufficient, the one to supply the light between Aldgate and Gower-street, and the other to illuminate the stations from Gower-street to Bishop's-road. It is no doubt a feasible project, but the experiments made the other evening had an unfortunate termination. One engine was prepared for use, the fire waa lighted, and everything went well till there was a sudden crash in th, boiler. Then it was dis- covered that there was no water in it! The Electrical Exhibition that is to be opened at the Crystal Palace in December as the second of the series of international exhibitions inau- gurated by the Duke of Connaught, will practically be the same aa that now being held in Paris. It is at least in- tended that the larger part of the Paris exhibits, or duplicates of them, shall be brought over here, and thus we shall have some opportunity of judging for ourselves as to the truth of the astonishing stories we have heard as to the telephoning of musical perform- ances and the illuminatory power of electricity. Mr. Oscar Wilde is the object of some rather cruel compliments on the part of his old Dublin tutor, Professor Mahaffy. The Pro- fessor is naturally anxious to have his share ot the credit for the fame of the bard, and de- scribes the latter as an illustration of the proposi- tion that a stupid boy is benefited more than a clever boy by a University training. If the Professor had not taken young Wilde in hand and advised him to go to Oxford, society would not now be dazzled by the genius whose poems have gone through three editions. The sup- position that a poet is born not made is a mistake. He is made by a professor. It may not be generally known that Miss Marion Hood, who some two years ago came into such prominence on the London stage by her successful appearance in The Pirates of Penzance," and who is now attracting considerable attention by her singing and acting in Claude Duval," is the Miss Marion Isaacs, who many years ago was well known on the music-hall boards. She sud- denly dropped out of notice, the fact being that while fulfilling an engagement at the Alhambra at Hull, she captivated one of the proprietors, Mr. Charles H. Hunt, and became his wife. She then retired into prirate life, but cultivated singing, both theoretically and practically, with such suc- cess that she soon became one of the best sought- after amateurs in Hull and the neighbour- hood. Her husband died nearly three years ago, bin after a brief widowhood Mrs. Hunt again married, taking to herself the name of Hessel- tine. It was almost simultaneously with this that she came out in The Pirates." Her ap- pearance was described as the first on any stage, and critics who knew nothing of her previous history naturally wondered at the self-possession and executive skill she displayed. In the cognomen of Marion Hood she still retains the first part of the name by which in her earlier professional days she was known. Theatrical enterprise is conducted on so large a scale in these days that one is not surprised to learn that in those theatres which yiel4 the largest profits, principles of economy are rigidly observed. At Drnry Lane, where the drama of Youth is nightly drawing crowded audi- ences, the receipts are said to be averaging jMOO a night, with an additional JB200 for the morning performance on Saturday. Mr. Harris has obtained a considerable repu- tation for managerial shrewdness, and is now shewing himself to be a business man of n" mean capacity. The smallest items of expendi- ture come under his notice, and there is not a farthing spent in the theatre without his know- ledge. He buys his own canvas for the scene-painter, and his own wood for the car- penter, and if at the end of the week the accounts are out of balance by the amount of a sixpence, they are overhauled until the aaiesing coin is found. An old actor of repute, whose theatrical experiences extend over ha f a century, says, when speaking of the jr.sent enormous returns, Sir, I have p'nyed in that house, with good actors, to about JE16 The appendix to the eighth report of the Royal Commission on Ancient Manuscripts con- tains some papers relating to Ireland hich are of special interest at the present time as shewing how the Irish were regarded and treated by the English in the reign of James I. The epithets commonly applied to them are "the barbarous Irish and "the natives." The process to which their land was subjected is de- scribed as "plautation," or "thorough planta- tion," and eeems, to use the words < f the com- missioners themselves, who have performed their work with singular candour, to hav.. been identical with that of the foundation of colo- nies in another hemisphere. In one letter, it appears that a priest was violently thrust out of his church while in the act of performing service, and in other letters we learn that the natives were discontented with the mode of plantation." Some light is thrown on mis- management, judicial, financial, and military. The army, in particular, was in a miserable plight, with its pay greatly in arrear. These manuscripts altogether are not pleasant reading. They shew that the English were not good planters," just as present events shew that the crop is something worse than wild oats. A new steamship enterprise is projected for the discomfort of the British farmer. It is proposed that a line of steamers shall he built to establish communication between Liverpool and Churchill Harbour in Hudson's Bay. The route is 114 miles shorter than that from Liver- pool to New York, and 64 miles shorter than the voyage from the Mersey to Montreal. It is part of the scheme that a railway should be constructed from Churchill Harbour to the great wheat centres of Manitoba and Dakota. The project looks well on paper, but it is doubtful whether it will attract any large amount of capital. The navigation between Liverpool and Hudson's Bay is not such as experienced seamen can regard with confidence, ■and the faot that the Bay is closed seven months In the year by the ice will scarcely facilitate the operations of the oompany. The new omnibuses are a great success—so great that the London Road Car Company have invited tenders for stables to accommodate a thousand horses. At present their vehicles have only one route, but it is evident that the company are prepared to compete with their rivals all over the Metropolis. th.ir omnibuses are always full, for they are in every way m re Mmfortable than the stuffy old contrivances nhich have so long afflicted us.

BWRDD Y GOL. PLANT FEL GWEITHWYR TAN- DDAEAROL. Mawr yw y cynwrf yn yr ardal yma gyda golwg ar fechgyn yn gweithio tan y ddaear. Cafodd rhifedi mawr o'r rhai hyn eu troi o'r gwaith ar orchyrnyn yr Inspector Rees, am na buasent wedi pasio y fifth standard. Sylfaen yr Inspector i wneyd hyn meddir oedd geiriad Bye-laws y School Board. Diau fod yr Inspector ei hun wedi gwneyd famsyniad pwysig. Ac nad oedd yn deall Bye. laivs Llanwonno, nac y chwaith yn deall Deddf Addysg fel y nae yn bresenol. Ymddengys i ni mai y pwnc mawt a .phwysig yn y ddadl hon yw gyda golwg ar blant rhwng 13 a 14 oed. Mae yn ymddangos fod Inspector Rees yn cymwyso deddf a fwriadai y Board at blant rhwng deg a thairarddeg at rai uwchlaw tairarddeg. Y peth a ddywed y Bye-law yw fod unrhyw blentyn rhwng 10 a 13 oed yn rhydd o rwym- edigaeth i fyned i'r ysgol os bydd wedi cyrhaedd y fifth standard. Ond i blant sydd heb fod yn 13 oed y perthyn hyn ac iddynt hwy yn unig. Mae pob un sydd dros 13 oed yn hollol rydd oddiwrth y Bue-law hon. Nid yw Deddf Addysg yn rboddi awdurdod i wneyd Bye-laws gyda golwg ar rai ydynt wedi cyrhaedd 13 oed, rhaid i'r rhai hyny gael eu llywodraethu, nid gan y Bye-law, ond gan Ddpdf Addysg. A darpariaeth hono yw hyn-bod i'r rhai sydd rhwng 13 a 14 oed i basio y fourth standard cyn y gellir eu cyflogi. Dyma yw y gyfraith yn 1881. A thruenf fod llywyddion y Coedcae a'r Great Western wedi gwrando ar yr Inspector yn lie chwylio beth yw y gyfraith ar y pwnc. Terfynau awdurdod y bwrdd i wneyd I' Bye-laiv yw dim dan bum mlwydd oed na thros dairarddeg oed. Gallant hwy wneyd Bye-laws rhwng y ddau derfyn yna ond dim pellach.

THE RHONDDA VALLEY AND PONTYPRIDD…
THE RHONDDA VALLEY AND PONTYPRIDD LIBERAL ASSOCIA- TION. j MEETING AT TREFOREST. Gn Friday evening a meeting was held at the Oddfellows' Hall, Treforest for the purpose of < rga ising the Treforest branch of the Association. The chair was occupied by F. R. Crawshay, Esq. The chairman in opening the meeting said he was glad to be present on that occasion as he always felt a deep interest in Liberal movements and had always believed that Liberal pi iuciples were the best to adopt in promot.ng the welfare "f the conntry and certainly were the principles that recIgniesetJ the claims and served the interest of the wurkiug men. lie had been asked th .t day by a friend what we wanted witn Liberal rueetings. we being all Liberals in the d strict P But his reply was: That if that was the case it was certainly neo ssary we should be oigaiiiaed so that the claims of all Liberals t-hould be placed on the register, and thus secure un opportunity for such perSODS to exercise their rights ben the time came to vote, f r if this was neglected the fact < f our District being tull of persons possessing Liberal feelings would not be of much servie, to the Liberal party. It is necessary in oi der to make any movements of this kiud a success to have perfect unanimity amongst us and then there was no fear we should be able to accomplish any object we might have in view. This District wa- composed chiefly of working men and he was gLd to see that they took an interest in the matter It was for the interest of both masters and men that a go< d feeling should subs st between them-and he. had no doubt that the oftener they were brought together in meetings of this kind the more it would tend to inspire and preserve that g od feeling. He was of opinion that a great deal could yet be done by the legislature, to improve the status of the working men and they may depend upon it that no persons but Liberals would do that, and in conclusion the Chan man said, I hope this association will prosper, and that we shall be found to a man working for the Liberal cause when an election takes place," and be called upon Mr Waiter Morgan the Honorary Secretary of the Association to explain the objects of the meeting. Mr Walter Morgan stated it had ah eady been decided by them to extend the Rhondda Valley Association to Pontypn.d and Trefor. st and there- fore th. re was no occasion for him to reptat the objects of the Association and the benefits to be derived therefrom. There were numerous advan- tages in addition to the imputations already stated by their Chairman and it was certainly t me that the Districts of Pontypridd and the Rhondda should have some representative body to watch their interest. They were all.no doubt aware, for it had been prominently brought to notice > by the local press, that in a recent Parliamentary Keturn, it was shown that the Ystrad District was the fourth larg st Urban district not represented i.) Par iament, and treating Pontypr dd and Ystrad as ore we were the third larg"ft District not r. preserited. It was therefore evident that if we exerted ourselves the time was not far distant betore we should have this 11 district formed into a Parliamentary Borough. He had not a word to say ag-iinst our County Menibers, but we certainly felt that we were entitled to have a member to represent this District alone and IF the members of this Association wouid work in harmony together there was every probability that our object would soon be secured. He then expl ined the manner in which committee-men and officers were to be appointed. Mr James Richards, Treforest, made a few remarks to the effect that we Want some means of training—we want a society of this kind to unite the people so that they may work together. We are backward in this neighbourhood, not for any want of tact, but for want of order. Mr James Hoberts, Taff Vale House, said that since he is in Treforest he felt like a fish out of water for want of some political organization. Before he came to this place he lived where there were two members of Parliament. But here said he we have no one to look up to. After a few remarks by Mr Hill, a committee -as formed. E. R. Crawsbay, E-q., was elected chairman of the committee, and Mr McCorn y, secretary. A General committee composed of a number of influential gentlemen in the district, out of these influential gentlemen in the district, out of these an executive committee was formed, the members being Mr Roberts, aft Vale House; Mr Moses Cule Mr James Owen; nnd WrThomag Thomas. The meeting was then brought to a close.

TERRIBLE GALE. ----
TERRIBLE GALE. GREAT LOSS OF LIFE. A severe gale, snch as is not often experienced, Yfcited this country on the 13th and 14th insts. Tele- graphic communication throughout the kingdom was seriously interrupted, and from all parts accounts have been received of damage to property and ION of life. In London a cabman standing on the rank opposite the George Inn, Haverstock-hill, was killnl by a tall tree being suddenly Mown down upon him, a policeman on duty and other eabmen having a narrow eecape.-A signal post was blown across the raits at the H'm<ey-r<ad Station of the Tottenham and Hempstead Rail- way just as a through Great Eastern train from St. Pancrae was approaching. The engine and leading carriages cut through the iretbut beyond giving some of the passengers a shaking DO injury vw sus- waed. The line was blocked for some tfme.-At Trowbridge station, as a faot troiti from Bristol to Salisbury was coming, a PMir "f trucks suddenly diMtppeareet. The wind was »o strong that it blew the trucks off the metals, but fortunately, with considerable effort, the driver of the engine was able to pull up in time to prevent what would have been a serious socidont.-As the Great Eastern op-express from Cambridge approached Bh'lford the driver saw a large tree blown down and fat! across the line. Every effort was made to •top the train, but without success, until the engine and several carriages had eat through the obstacle. Happily the train did not leave the HDe. The pas- sengers alighted and helped te clear away the obstacle. -Shortly after morning service in St. Peter Church, Bournemouth, the weather vane and cross on the epire were Mown off, and fell in a perpendieulu position on the roof a little to the eastward of the tower, penetrating through the roof, damaging the rafts re, and sending slates down so forcibly that some of them penetrated to the depth of an inch and a-half into the benches.—At Deepfields. near Wolvernampton, the roof of the railway goods ar.d passenger station was Mown off, and the father of a Wolverhampton town councillor, named Cousins, was re«»oved to the hospital coffering from injuries received through the roof of ids house coming inne he was sitting down to breakfast.—At SagleHcliffe, now Darlington, ive men were killed and about a doeen injured by the blowing down of a foundry.—At Little Dean, Gloucestershire, a boy named Rowdier was standing at his fathsr's door, when the wind blew the door with violence, and the boy's head being eeaghtby it, he was killed on the spot.—Two pet sons were killed in Liverpool on the 14th.. A chimney pot fell on the head of a man named Jones, a joiner. He was taken to the Royal iatrmarv, where be died. The ether esse was that of Mary Jones, a domestic servant, who, whtle walking along the road, was thrown down 811 her face with such violence that she died next day In the intnnMy.—Pert of the Wall. send SHpway Engine Works extension were blown down, and five workmen were buried in the ruins. Two were severely injured, and two, Charles Green, of Willington, ana Richard Pickleaver, of .Newcastle, were killed.—fatal accidents from the gale are also reported from LeagMnteteB, Wetherby,Burnley, and ot; ar plam: Even more terrible Is the record ef disaster at sea occasioned by the gale. The steamer Cyprian, of Liverpool, for Genoa, endeavoured on the night of the 14th to get into Portdinllaen Bay on the Carnarvon* shire Coast, bnt was unable to get har anchors to hold, and the drifted on to the recks 8I1«1t broke up. She had a crew of 37 men, ef whom only eight were saved, in. eluding the second officer end the engineer. The captain was among the drowned.—The Ganges, from Middlesbrough to Calcutta, stranded on the Good. win Sands, and four men were drowned; a schooner h ashore at Dunbar, a total wreck, and it is sup- posed her crew are all lost; the Ada Maria, wheat laden, stranded at Avonmouth, and one man was drowned; a pilot coble at South Shields eapsised and three men were lest; a small schooner sank off Puffin's Island, with all hands. Of some 200 Berwick fishermen who were oat on the 14th, it is known that were drowned, and grave fears are entertained for the remainder. At Eyemouth, again, it is stated that at least TO to 80 fishermen haveneen drowned.

EPITOME OF NEWS. On Saturday evening a man named Richard Cotter was taken to the Merthyr pol;ce.statioft on a charge of causing the death of his father, living at Tnysowen, by striking him on the hear with a brick. On Sunday morning two constables entered the house, and saw the deceased lying dead in the frout of the fire. On Saturday evening the body of John Davies, an engine driver on the Great Western Railway, was fonnd lying accross the line, opposite the Steel Works, Swansea, with his skull cut open, hip right leg cut off, and his left arm. It is supposed that as he was walking down the line home and was run over and killed by a passing engine. A largely attened meeting of the local colliery owners was held at Cardiff on Saturday, to consider the prohibition of gnnpowder in mines. It %as felt that the proposed restriction would have a most prejudicial effic. on the coal trade. A collier named Francis Moore, 50, Treharris was brought up at the Merthyr police-court or Saturday, charged with attempting to eommii suicide on Thursday. Prisoner, in a fit of jealousy, tied a handkerchief lound his neck, with a decla- ration that he would strangle himself, but was prevented. Prisoner, who was now sorry for bit. rash and foolish act, was remanded. On the following Monday prisoner was attain brought before the magistrates, and was discharged with a caution. On Friday afternoon, when the severe storm was passing'away, Mr top hen Vivian found in a pool near the Mynydd Iron Works, Llantrisant, a etormy petrel, or mother Carey's chicken, in a condition of almost complete exhaustion. It afterwards came into the possession of Mr Evan John, Llan- trisant, who, by carefnl treatment, is able to keep the bird alive. In all probability it had been carried 200 miles by the wind, against which it failed to make headway, and expended all its strength in endeavouring to do no. It is a bird about the size of a swallow, and, like our summer visitor, is swift on the wing. On Saturday morning the funeral of Mr Henry Took, a retired builder and contractor, residing in Brooke-road, Stoke Newington, London, was stopped by the coroner's Officer, for. Hackney, acting under the order of the Treasury, so that an inquest might be held, as foul play is snspecte- Mr Took's intemperate habits led to frequent quarrels with members of his family, he had been complaining to some friends that he had been most brutally ill-treated by some of the members of his family. It is announced that Messrs Henry Richard and Cha". H.

CRISIS IN IRELAND.
CRISIS IN IRELAND. ARREST OF MR. PARNELL. At a Cabinet Council held in London on Wednes- day the question of Ireland was discussed, and it was decided that a more vigorous enforcement of the laws should be insisted upon, and the powers con- ferred by the Coercion Acts used to auppresa dis- affection. The Ministers were unanimous that the Land Bill should have a fair trial, and that all illegal impediment in the way thereof should be at once removed. In accordance with this rssolution the immediate arrest of Mr. Parnell was determined on. Mr. Forster,wbo was present at the Council, arrived in Dublin early on the following morning, and imme- diately drove to the Castle, where he signed the warrants for Mr. Parnell's arrut-one charging Mr. Parnell with inciting the people to intimidate others from paying just rent, and the other for intimi- dating tenants from taking benefits under the new Land Aet. At SO minutes put 8 o'clock the documents were handed to Superintendent Mallon, Chief of the Dublin Detective Department, and he atonoe proceeded on foot to Morrison's Hotfl un- accompanied by any one, but he was joined at Nas«au-street by Detective-officer Sheridan. On arriving at the hotel Mr. Mallon asked one of the waiters whether Mr. Parnell was staying in the house, and receiving a reply in the affirmative, said he wished to send In his card to Mr, Parnell, who hAd not yet risen from his bed. Mr. Parnell sent a reply that he would see Mr. Mallon in a few minutes. When he, after a brief delay, opened hi* chamber dot r, the superintendent, who was standing ont-iile, advanced apace, bowed his recognition, and hand.d Mr. Parnell copies of the warrants, at the same time informing him that he was arreozte i. Mr. PameU, who was en deihaUlle, did not betray the least symptom of surprise. His manner was ex- tremely courteous, and when Mr. Mallon expie—e 1 his anxiety to leave the hotel without any demon- stration taking place, Mr. Parnell proposed that a cab should be brought round to the back entrance of the house, so that he might quietly tilce his departure without affording the possibility of any demonstration of public feeling. Having hastily made his toilette, and rapidly packed some wear- ing apparel and other necessaries in his portmanteau, the president of the League rang the bell and ordered a cup of coffee, which he drank before he left his room. He then walked down the xtair- case accompanied by Mr. Mallon, and took his feat in a eab which was in waiting at the front door. Mr. Mallon and Mr. Sheridan also entered 'he call, which was quickly driven in the direction of Kil- mainham GaoL When the cab was paesine Collpge Green it was joined by an escort of eight p< >li. e, who followed on two ears. There was n:,t the slightest demonitration along the whole way; indeed, n< ne suspected who nad been arrested. The gate of the gaol was opened the instant the cab drove up. The police sprang from the cars, and Mr. Parnell, in custody of Superintendent Mallon and Detective- offieer Sheridan, alighted, and was handed over to Captain Minhear, the governor of the gaol, who stood waiting in the vestibule. The Chief Secretary's warrants were then given by Mr. Mallon to the a' governor, and as soon as Mr. Parnell had oroseed the threshold the gates of the prison were locked, and he waa conducted to his celL No extra precau- tions in the way of protection for the gaol have been deemed necessary. Tbe authorities had, how- ever, made arrangements for quelling any disorder, and at College-street polioe-station,tbe nearest station to Morrison's Hotel, 50 men were held in ftaii- ness to turn out on a minute's notice, but for. tunately no necessity arose for their services. In the afternoon the Privy Council held a meeting in Dublin Castle, the result of which was that the Castle yard was made for the time a quasi-mili- tary Opposite the main entrance to the Lord Lieutenant's quarters two Armstrong guns were planted, while in the Lower-yard a company of infantry, a troop of hone, and a detachment of Royal Horse Artillery were stationed. The guards all over the city were trebled, the police patrols doubled, and dragoon videttes rode through the streets in all directions. Mr. Parnell was on Saturday served in gaol with a further warrant charging him with being "rea- sonably suspected of having since the 30th September 1880, been guilty as principal of treasonable prao- tices." A special meetinf of the executive of the Central Land League waa held in the offices in Sack- ville street, Dublin, on the evening of the 13th, Mr. John Dillon presiding. In his opening addrens be said that this was the most trying and critical moment that had occurred in the history of their eountij and people during the past century. The nrst of the warrants on which Mr. Parnell had been arreated charged him with having incited others to intimidate others and prevent them from doing what they were legally entitled to do, namely, to pay tbeir rents; and the second warrant charged him with inciting men to intimidate other men and prevent them from going into the court" of law. Both thoee statements were false. He defied any man to put hb finger on any single sentence of Mr. Parnell's which wasan incitement, directly or indirectly, to prevent anybody from doing what he was legally entitled to do. Every < ns who had carefully watched the course of events in this country and in England during the past fort- night would understand that this arrext was due, in n great measure, if not entirely, to the private malice and spite of a certain Minister. The arrest was preceded immediately by an outburst of pas«ion which astonished and diflruatecl even the warmest friends of Mr. Gladstone in Ireland. The real truth was that Mr. Gladstone was a man of extra- ordinary vanity, and when he found his Land Bill rejected, he was carried away by ungovernable ■ passion. He complained bitterly of the indifference and almost hostility of Mr., Bsrnell and his followers to the bill, and be (Mr. Dillon) would like to know If it had come to tbla-that a national representa- tive had no right to offer an opinion on a bill for the Irish people. Mr. Gladstone, in his Guildhall speeeh, insinuated that the power which came between the people and the law" was that of Mr. Parnell, but' ne (Mr. Dillon) would remind him that that power was the convention admitted by all the London Prees to have been the most representative of all Irish gatherings that ever assembled. It was ths dutv of the Irish people to deal with the situation with coolness and calculation. Tbe arrest of Mr. Parnell was aa outrage on the dignity of the law, and the most needful weapon they had left to carry en their movement and revenge the outrage was (o carry on their movement on exactly the same lines and force the Government to perpetrate outrage after outrage.—A resolution, moved by Mr. Sexton, was passed denouncing the arrest of Mr. Parnell, and expressing the intention of the meeting to main- tain the principles of the organisation. FURTHER IMPORTANT ARRESTS. Mr. Thomas Sexton, M.P., who when Mr. Dillon waa arreated some months since was chosen to fill his place as the organising manager of the Land League, was arrested on Friday, the 14th inst4 under the Coercion Act, charged with being suspected of treaaonabls practices and inciting others to intimidate tenants not to pay rent. When arrested he was III in bed he war asked by the officer if he thought his removal would endanger his health, but he replied that he would make no statement in regard to his health, and he was thereupon removed to KU- mainham in a cab. He rose from his bed on the Thursday night to attend the meeting IIf the League held to discuss Mr. Parnell's arrest. P. J. Quinn, secretary to the Land League since the incarcerati n of Mr. Brennan, was also arrested on Friday and taken to Kilmainham. Mr. Quinn never ma ie any speeches either in the country or at its weekly meeting In Dublin; his dutiea were entirely of a secretarial character. On Saturday morning Mr. James O'Kelly, M.P., was arrssted at the Imperial Hotel, Dublin. Later in the day Mr. John Dillion M.P., was re- arrested on a warrant charging him with being reasonably suspected of having, since the 30th Septem- ber, 1880, been guilty oftreaaonabte practices." Mr. WiUiam O'Brien, editor of tbe Land League organ Untied IrtUtmd, was also arrested. A warrant had been issued for the arrest of Mr. Healy, M P, who had lift London on Thursday evening f <r Dublin. bat a messenger from the Land League met him at Holyhead on Friday morning and induced him to remain on the eaatern side of the Chann I. Detectives went to the Imperial Hotel to arrest Mr. Arthur O'Connor, M.P., but he was not to be found. It is stated that while the waiters kept the police par- leying in the entrance Mr. O'Connor walked out of the hotel to the Land League rooms, and having arranged his books there, proceeded on foot to the railway station took train to Belfast, stored at the residence of a well known Land Leaguer there tiU 4 o'clock on Saturday evening, and then left by Northern Counties line fur Scotland. Mr. John R. Hefferman, a prominent member of the Cosk Land League executive, who was discharged six weeks before from Kilmainham, wa* re-arrested on Sunday, charged with inciting tenants by intimidation not to pay fust rent*, and wad eenveyed to Limerick Gaol. The above list of arrests under the Coercion Act WBM soon swelled by the addition of the following James Lynham, poor law guardian, Tullamoi-e Union, organiser of tbe Lsnd League for the King' Que-n's, and West Meath counties; P. J. Wbite, secreUry of the ClaTa Branch; Henry Ewan, secretary of the Tullamore Branch: Jamea Puwer. secretary uf the Middleton (co. Cork) Land League; Dannie M'Cartby, poor law guardian William Abraham, treasurer of the Limerick Land League W. Murphy, chairman of the Maryborough Town Commission' r-; Mr. Lennun, one of the bon secretaries of the Tu low (co. Carlow) branch of the Land League, and Mi. Gerard OToole. SERIOUS RIOTING. A serious riut took place in Dublin on Saturday sight. About the time of Mr. Dillon's arrest a lat gd fees* of pedes was staitoned is front ef tbe Impcdal j !.•••» I SH JJtti» _I JTnteT where be bad been a short time before. This w s reaiij a division so as to enable the arrest of Mr. Dillon at his residence to be effected without d isturbance. After the arrest tbe police in front of the hotel w»-re joined by a small body of mounted police, who had been keeping piard in the neighbourhood of Mr. DillonV resi- dence. The crowd already outside the hotel grew denser as the evenirg wore on, especially near the b -tft and Nelxon's pillar. Reinforcements of police were marched to the scene. Hootirg, which had been g ing on for t-ome time, was renewed with deafening shouts of Buckshot," To hell with Buckshot," Cite rs for Parnell, Dillon, and the Land League, and groans for the police. A scene then occurred which almost baffles description. Appa- rently those who were in authority over the police, of j which there was altogether a force of about 400 on the spot, lost control over the men to a considerable de- gree. The police commenced a series of charges on the }>eople. Carlisle Bridge was several times swept by arge bodies of constabulary, who had drawn their batons and used them without mercy or regard to persons, In Sackville-street similar charges were made. The people were struck down indiscriminately by the police, and many when they fell to the ground were kicked and again struck. The police seem to have lost all self-command, and several times their officers endea- voured to restrain them without effect. Many per- sons were subsequently taken to the hospital seri- ously injured. A meeting to express sympathy with Mr. Parnell having been summoned in the city of Limerick for Sunday, Government proclamations were posted up prohibiting it, but these were immediately pulled down. The ground designated for the meeting was occupied by a squadron of Dragoons, Scots Greys, and about two hundred of the Royal Iri-h constabulary, under command of Major Rolleston, R.M. Thousands of people flocked into the city to be present at the meeting, and by I p m. the streets were crowded with an excited mob. Shortly after 4 o'clock the troops and police began to move off from Bank-place. Stones were immediately thrown in vast quantities at the police. The latter fixed bayonets and charged, partially clearing the street. They charged a second time, and were then ordered to load and having done so they again ad- vanced against the people, scattering them in various directions, only, however, to see them gather together and renew the disturbance. The police made similar charges with drawn swords, but at length, worn out, they made a rush for their barrack! into which they retired, the mob gathering round, storming the buildings and breaking the windows. The Scots Greys twice charged the mob under showers of stones. Later a party of con- stabu ary, under the command of Major Rolleston, fired on a mob in Denmark-Street. One man was wounded by a bullet in the side. Several charges of the constabulary were subsequently made, and over 20 rioters arrested. Slates were thrown on the police from the roofs of houses. Several of the constabulary were wounded, but none severely. Many houses were wrecked and the windows of the club-house were broken. The mob also quenched all the lamps in the city,leaving it in total darkness. At 10 o'clock, however, the city was quiet. A serious riot occurred in Mallow on Saturday night in connection with an unsuccessful attempt to rescue Mr. Hefferman. A large crowd, accompanied by a band and torch bearers, stoned the police, seriously wounding the head con- stable. The sub-inspector was also kicked and the sword of a policeman carried away. The prisoner, however, was got off in the train, after which the mob wrecked the refreshment rooms, and on their re- turn to town and attacked and damaged the houses of those who did not close in consequence of Mr. Par- nell's arrest or illuminate on Father Sheehy's release. Rioting was re-umed in Dublin on Sunday and Monday nights. On Monday night a mob of about 1,500 persons drove the police over Carlisle Bridge with showers of stones. Proceeding along the southern quays, they broke the windows of every house in which they saw a light. The windows of the Irish Mail office were also smashed. At last the police advanced again in a compact body and disported the mob.—Mr. Abrahams' arrest at Limerick, on Monday night, gave occasion for re- newed disturbances. As the police were returning from the gaol volleys of stones were thrown at them by the crowd. The police charged the mob several times, and fired one shot, which unfortunately wounded a woman, who wit. standing inside a shop, in the arm. DEPUTATION TO MR. FORSTER. On Monday a deputation of the Dublin Town Council, headed by the Lord Mayor, and including Messrs. Gray,M.P., Dawson, M.P., Brooks, M.P., Gill, M.P., and other Liberal members of the Corporation, waited on Mr. Forster at the Castle, to complain of the unnecessary violence on the part of the police in the streets of that city on Saturday and Sunday nights, and ask that the people should not be irritated by so large a display of force in the future. In reply, the Chief Secretary said the police, in clearing Sack- ville-street, acted upon instructions which were given in consequence of information be had received to the effect that the mob intended to take possession of that street. He regretted that any persons should have been hurt, but he reminded the deputation that several of the police were also injured, and that worse results must have ensued had the military been called out, as they would have been had the mob taken possession of Sackville-street. Should a like occasion arixe, Mr. Forster added, there would certainly be a similar dis- play of force. IMPORTANT PROCLAMATIONS. In a special Gazette published on Friday night ap- peared the following proclamation, signed by Mr. Fors- ter and the Lords Justices: "Whereas in many parts of Ireland an organised system of intimidation is prac- tised, whereby hundreds of her Majestj's subjects, under apprehension of violence to their persons or properties or deprivation of the necessaries of life, or loss of business, are coerced to give np their lawful employments, to abandon tbeir lawful occu- pations and pursuits, to abstain from the payment of rents lawfully due by them or the fulfilment of their lawful engagements, to become members of or subscribe to the funds of an association commonly known as the Land L» a^ue, or to abstain from doing what they have a, legal right to do, Now we do hereby warn all persona that all such practices of Intimidation are unlawful and criminal, and that any person engaging in any of such practices or ineiting thereto is liable to be arrested and imprisoned Seven proclamations have been published in a spe- cial supplement of the Dublin Gktzettt placing districts under the Coercion Act. The result of these procla- mations is that nearly all Ireland outside of the pro. vince of Ulster is now under the Coercion Act. THE LAND LEAGUE. The Central News is informed there is much rejoic- ing in Land League circles over the successful escape to England of Mr. Arthur O'Connor, M.P. It is claimed that by his eluding the vigilance of the Government all the arrests are rendered com- paratively worthless, inasmuch as it was only one week prior to his escape that all the threads of the Land League organisation were put into his hands, and arrangements made whereby he should exercise all the power and authority as to appointments, as well as make the official distribution of the funds; in short, he was, it is stated, entrusted with the power which Mr. Parnell himself had enjoyed. Mr. O'Connor, in like manner, intended to make provision for a series of delegates under himself, this being the course privately resolved upon since last March in the secret office of the Land League executive. As a matter of fact, however, Mr. Parnell's arrest, coming a few days sooner than anyone anticipated, found Mr. O'Connor's purpose unfulfilled; and if he had been arreeted on Friday there can be no question that the Government would have dealt a mortal blow at the organis- ation. So far from this being now the case, it is ascertained that Mr. O'Connor and Mr. Healy, taking up their permanent position at Holybead, will from thence direct all the movements of the League in Ireland. All branches of the League are already nnder instructions to obey implicitly such orders as they issue. It is contemplated that once a week re- Eresentativee from Dublin shall attend at the Holy- sad offices. Mr. Patrick Eg an, who is now staying in Paris, has been interviewed by a French journalist, to wh m he declared that the movement in Ireland was a struggle between the serf and his lord—in fact, a social revolution. The people would, he maintained, insist on Mr. Parnell's restoration to liberty. Were Mr. Dillon arrested or Mr. Parnell's imprisonment prolonged there would probably be a general rising. The Irish movement in America had so far contri- buted only money to the cause. It was henceforth to play an active part, and at the first signal it would be ready. In faot, an insurrection might suddenly break out everywhere at onoe. Mr. Egan concluded by as- suring his interlocutor that the Irish must be vic- torious in the long run. On Sunday and Monday, the lfth and 18th inct., orders were despatched to the 1st Battalion 13th Regiment, ttationed at Devonport, the let J: < Surrey Regiment (the tiat). stationed at Dover, < the 52nd Regiment, stationed at Chatham, to themselves in readiness to proceed to Ireland. A public meeting was held in the Rotunda at Dublin on Friday night to protest against Mr. Par- nell's arrest. Tbe ball was crowded, and folly 20,000 persons assembled outkide unable to gain aa- mittance. Sackville-street was patrolled by mounted police, and ? force of about 200 constables was sta- ti, ned clot" to the Rotunda. Mr. Dawson, M.P., pre. sided. Mr. Gray proposed a resolution condemning the ariest as one of the most arbitrary, lawless, and grannical acts that ever dugraoed the annals of litisb rule m Ireland. (Loud cheers and shouts for 1* Irish Republic," and "No Rent.") Mr. 0 Kelly, M.P., seconded the motion, which was suppurted b, Mr. Dillon, M.P., and was carried unanimously. Mi. T. D. Sullivan, M.P., then moved a resolution to i ledge the people of Ireland te act on the advice given by Mr. Parnell. Mr. Monk, M P., having t-econded, the resolution was passed. The mob in tbe street behaved in a tumultuous manner, and rry God Save Ireland." limy ww*. bowvrtr, itiijswjj the jx&m.
