AFFAIRS IN IRELAND.

. 4, [redtek's telegrams— copyright.] London, September 25. Mr Arthur O'Conner, member for East Donegal, and Sir H. S. Esmonde, Bart., member for Dublin County, have sailed for Africa to lecture m that country regarding Ireland. Shortly after his release from prison on bail, O'Brien, who was closely watched by the authorities, succeeded by a series of elaborate ruses m evad ing the police, and at once proceeded to address a meeting of the National League which the Government had proclaimed, which took place outside Mitcheltown. In his speech O'Brien defied the Government; Dr Tanner, M.P. for County Cork (Mid.), addressed a meeting of Nationalists yesterday at Fermny, County Cork. In endeavouring to disperse the gathering a severe conflict took place between the police and the people, £the former freely using their batons. Fifteen of the crowd were severely injured. The mob retaliated by stoning the police. [SPECIAL TO PKES9 ASSOCIATION] London, September 25. During' the trial of O'Brien, Dr Tanner, wilhin the precincts of the Court, called the counsel for the Crown a ruffianly coward, and hoped he would be vilely injured before leavirg Mitchellstown. The Bench offered to order his arrest if counsel pressed the matter. The crowd, who were indul ging m rccnaces after O'Brien's release, were dispersed by the police, priests assising the latter. Lord R. Churchill, speaking at Whitby, "was jubilant that the cause of vi iomsm, law, and order was already won. Mr Gladstone, he said, was responsible for the obstruction of the past session. He condemned the ex | travagant pension list, on which no less • than six millions appeared. He de i precated any early attempt to buy out the Irish landlords, which he considered would be certain to wreck the Unionists. At a meeting m Dublin, the Lord | Mayor, Mr E. D. Gray, and others > defied the Government to suppress , the League. Rioting has taken place , at Fermoy. The police were stoned m an attempt to disperse a meeting, and had to use their batons.

MOTHEK SEiaEL'S OPERATING PILLS, For Constipation, Sluggish Liver, &c. TTNLIKE many kinds of cathartic U medicines, do not make you feel worse before you feel better. Their operation is gentle, but thorough, and unattended with disagreable effects, such as nausea, griping pains, &c. Seigel's Operating Pills we the best family physic that has ever been discovered. They cleanse the bowels from all irritating substances, and leave them m a healthy condition. The best remedy extant for the bane of our lives — constipation and sluggish liver. These Pills prevent fevers and all kinds of sickness by removing all poisonous matter from the bowels. They operate briskly, yet mildly, with- out any pain. If you take a severe cold, and are threatened with a fever, with pains m the head, back, and limbs, one or two doses of Seigel's Operating Pills will break un the cold and prevent the fever. A coated tongue, with a brackish taste, is caused by foul matter m the stomach. A few doses of Seigel's Operating PillS will cleanse the tomach, remove the bad taste, and re- store the appetite, and with it bring good health. Oftentimes disease, or partially de- cayed food, causes sickness, nausea and diarrhoea. If the bowels are cleansed from this impurity with a dose of Seigel's Operating Pills these disagreeable effects will vanish, and good health will result, Seigel's Operating Pills prevent ill-effects from excess m eating or drinking. A good dose at bedtime renders a person fit for business m the morning. i These Pills, being sugar-coated, are pleasant to take. The disagreeable taste common to most pills is obviated .
