any parson calling together such meeting, or publishing any such notice concerning it ia liable to six months' imprisonment. A troop of hussars, a detachment of artillery, and a large force of police arrived at Mitcbelfltown on Sept. 22. Magistrate Eaton ;i3stted a proclamation prohibiting the holding of any public meeting dur ing the sitting of the Police Court, stating that any meetings held in violation of this prohibition will be forcibly dispersed. Copies of the proclamation were served on tfohn Dillon, M.P., and Thomas P. Condon, M.P., both of whom were in Mitchelstown. Dillon declared his willingness to address a meeting arid to repeat O'Brien's conduct in spite of the Government. A;public meet ing was being arranged, and a conflict was feared,, till Dilloft and H&Mrigton, estimating more fully the gravity of the situation, gave pledges thab no demonstration should be made in Sfitchelstown during the present trial. Editor O'Brien has declared his intention, if convicted, to resist to the death being rednee*d to the grade of an ordinary criminal and the wearing of the prison garb. THE CASE OF EDITOR O'BRIEN. ;; THe pith of O'Brien's lecture on " Lost Opportunities of Irish Landlords," de livered in Dublin, September Bth, was that by rejecting the bills introduced by Glad stone, they closed the avenues to honour and power, and emote the hand that ex tended to them these benefits. O'Brien did not Appear before the Court of Mitchels town, when cited, and. accordingly arrested on September 11th by a detective, while he was bidding Labouohere adieu on the Dublin etunaer. On the 12th, escorted by police and military, he' was taken to Mitchelstown, and arraigned. Subsequently he was remanded to prison. His friends colnplain that the Cell in which he is incarcerated at Cork is but nine feeb long Irnid four feet wide, badly lighted, and little better than a black hole. In the house of Commons, on thd 13th, John Phillip #6lan. referring to O'Brien's case, expressed a hope tHAt the Government would relax the prison rules applicable to political offenders in; Ireland, and especially urged a modification of the degrading duties enforced oh common criminals. Balfour was unable to conceive how the Irish members could hope to make any difference between prison people and per sons under arrest for inciting the people to crime and outrages. O'Brien had only him self to thank for b'ein? in custody. THE ENNIS MEETING. Despite the Government Proclamation; ihd National League meeting at Enriisy County Clare, v/nk held on Sbptelttber 6jbH. Ten thousand persons assembled. .The. police had tyken possession of the hilt afc Ba'llycoree, tbe announced place of meeting, and the multitude.'Halted in an }adjacent field, where {Suttivan; Stanhope, and O'Brien niade speeches from their carriage!. The fft-dcessibri which" included MessrsT. Sullivan: Dillon, Cox, Sheehy. W.m. O'Brien,, and Philip Stanhope, ail members of tha House of Commons, and several priests, moved from Ennis towards! ,^ 6 2 P- m *' the approaches to 'which , wera guarded by soldiers and police. A troop of hussars was present under command of Col. who orderel tfie meeting to ; disperse, within flye minutes. Stanhope hand 6s ' .*«? Colditel a cop* Of fe"s6lutioris adopted ljry, the meeting i claiming" .Home .RJ»ltf. declaring their adheletfcef to Pairnell,' thAiik in& the Liberal party,; plying SWIF&J the proclamation of the; League and ifoun-eing landgrabbihg. Stanhope declared tjie proceedings of ihe tneetirJg \eg£\j and if a collision occurred, he would hold C6l- Saei Turner responsible. Turner re plied that he wafs bound td execute his or ders. The procession to Enni?, and O'Brien addressed the crowd in O'Connell s square. The soldiers and police again appearing, the procession passed on to a ho|el", which the leaders entered,,and then followers quietly dispersed. The I^ 00 piesfs' differ in commenting on the aflair; The "Post" regards it with the liyehebt satisfaction. The " News " says t •_* It is to the good sense of th 6 Irish pedplS and their ieAd«rd that credit for the peaceful issue pi the 1 day is due. Both, parties did their duty and both ma>claim tbe victory; '^ly.the , authors of the proclamation are defeated and rendered ridiculous. The .Standard reminds fussy people like Hon. Philip Stanhope, M.P.,tbatwhatevertheir position is inside the House of Commons, outside they ar6 simply citizens subject to law. It says the Ennis affair wae a humbug, and wonders that anybody was so seriously concerned about it The Liberal leaders in the have decided to challenge the legality 6f the .prbclairiation of this and other taeotitfgs. Sir \\~. H; Haicdiift moved a vole of censure ftgawet the Govornmont on September 12th.
