St may be said with uccuracy” that tho Irish Jand-refcrm *boom " s mukig rapid headway {n hioago. und bus been already productive of 0 6 extriordinary developments. The Execu- tive Committee nppointed by the preliminary Hteting held at Burke's Hotel tast Sunday e ed on Muyor Harrison in his officiul sanctutn yesterday morning with the object of inviting him to preside at the mass-mecting of Americin Sitizens 0 be held in McCormick Hall, 'tho owners of which dorated it for the object of the Qemonetration next Mouday cvening. i Tleut.-Col. W. P. ltend, of the Second Regi- ment. Chairman of the Committce, stated the Shjoct of the meeting 10 Mayor .Harrison, and Seked bim to preside as representing the city. Mir. Harrison happened to be in’ one of his servous moods, and, instead of frankly accopt- {he the invitation, commenced to_philosophize. Wit a solemn shake of the head, he said fo the ittee: OO s & question whether 1. as Mayor of the ¢ty ougbt to preside at such a.meetng, favoly- fne b question 01 lnw as between Greut Britnin and Irplgad. Lam not read up on Irish affairs, and 1do not fecl ik acting o5 an-ollicial, or i ticinl eapacity.” A mber of o Committee sugzested it was sbout time thu&‘-lnyar beganto read the papers - and keep pasted. e Hatsicon aid: “Ab, ves: veally I have giver no attention to the question atall. How Wouid Aiericans like to have the Mayor :of Mauchester preside_over o meeting intaiical 1o ‘american fnterests?_ Weli, I don't see how 1 enn preside over a gathering which calls in question plish luw.” = B ieoman—*Mr. Harrison, we don't want you to act if yon have any English scru- emember, however, that we do not ask ou to preside over a mectiug of lrishmen., but ver a meeting of American citizens, of every creed and voice, who Wwill express sympathy with Ihc opprested tenant farmers of lreland in their ronstitutiopal effurt to break up the feudal s; tem and establish them freebolders on their own goil. - We do not press you to act, howeve, 3fr. Harrison—* Ah, "that is ail very well, but the principle is stiil under discussion, and it s a question of law a8 To whethor England hus the right. A Committeeman—* In order to end your em- parrassment, Mr. Harrison, perhaps you had better consult the Corporation Counsel.” | or smiled skeletonically at this, and gaid: ** Ab, fndbed! Well, L cannot nct as Mayor of Chicago *—t this point the Committec unan- imously turned their buckson Mr. Harrison and marched out. B Carter shouted after them, * Tllact a8 an fn- dividuat.” The Committee did not take Mr. Harrison a3 « gn individual * into consideration, and paid no attentlon to his offer. _All ngreed that be had accomplished a feat of crowning inconsistency, Subsequently the Committee united on the Hon. Thomas Hoyne,—their origtnal choice, which was only overridden by a_desire to re: £pcct the city throuck Mr. Harrison,—and that sentleman, with grent cordiality, expressed bis willingness to_serve s Chairman, saying the Inisn Land Reform causc. o far as ho_nad read about it, was deserving the sympatny of civil- ized mankind, and should have hiS heartiest, support. > - 'Gov. Cullom bappendd to be in town, 20d was waited upon by the Committec at tho Grand Pa- cltic Hotel. The Governor received the deputa- tion cordiaily. The Chalrman invited him to speak at the mass-mesting, the object of which Gov. Cuflom said hesaw no_possible "objec- tion to_speaking at a demonstration of that nature.” The Irish people, 5o far as be could ob- serve, were engaged in a perfectly lezitimate struggle to obtain thelr just rights.” If he could possibly get away from Springfield be would be most bappy 1o address the meetin; and, if he' shouid be £o unforlunate 1s notto be able to come, he would send a letter-of sympathy for the occasion. In conelnsion, Gor. Cullom said: +In any .sensible, practical movement for the Dettering of the condition of the Irish people, I think every true American is with you.” - Lieut.-Gov. Bhuman: was next waited upon, and expressed his willingness to speak at the mass-meeting. : The Hon. ard Ewett also” signified his willmeness, He. thousht the objeot a very worthy one, and deserving the support of all who loved justiee and humanity. Among the prominent citizens whq have con~ gented tofct us Vice-Presidents are Postmaster F.W. Palmer, Judge Otix. Col. Pierce, A. B. Pull~ man, John B. Drake, Col. George R. Davis, Gen. Martiz Beem, and many others.- Mayor Harrison .was the only gentleman in- Yited who made theslizhtest objection to acting, and nis conduct §s_severely commented upon even by his very best frieads throughout the city. If he had been nsked to preside at a meet- ing called for the -purpcse of making war on Great Dritain, they say. his besitation could bo understood, but to refuso to act as Chairman of & legal demonstration to_express sympathy with :! ‘x‘-l!gjegfifnmpm jsregnrded by,the Irish pcople 5.

Tlie contest between the Chicago & Iowa and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St, Paul Rail- roads for fhe possession of the Chicago, Rockford & Northern Rallroad soems io have ended in a vietory for the Chicago & Igwa_, or, rather, the Ilinckley party. Judge Eustis, of Dixon, yesterday morning issued 2 wrjt of assistance dirceting the Sheriffs ot Ogle and Winnebago Counties to assist Re- ceiver Holeomb, who Lad been appointed by Judge Eustis, by every means at their com- mand to maintain possession of the road. Inorder to avoid a conflict of authority Judzes Eustis and Brown (the latter had ap- vointed Mr. Jones Receiver in the interest of the Milwaukee & St. Paul) held a confer- ence during the afternoon, and Judge Brown agreed to withdraw hiz’ order directing Alr, Joues to take possession, This will cornerof Adams streetand Michigan avenue, leave Mr. Holeomb master- of the situation and in possession of the property.

E. Hinckley. The capital stock is $100.000, of which the Chieago & lowa R: pany owns $50,000 and _the other pally owned by Mr. R 2, Hinckley. LastyearMr. Tinker got unction restraining the voting of the E sued to Mr. Hinekley as Trustee for the Chicago & Iowa Railroad, but before the service of the injunetion Mr. Hinckley de- | Company, to the fuliest extent practicable, the livered the_stock to Recciver lHoleomb. Thereupon Judge Drummond enjoined Mr. Iloleomb from voting the stock until further arders. The Tinker party” then elected Board of Directors, whereupon the Iiinckley party instituted quo warranto proeeedings, and, after a_year's pleading and litigation, Judzment of ouster was rendered agai of the Tinker party, Mr. Holcomb .was aft- erwards discharged as Receiver, which gave him the rightto vote the stock. At the an- nual mecting Mareh 7, 1881, the 1linckley stockholders got an injunction restrainini the ‘Tinker party from voting, and then pro- ceeded to elect a Board of Directors, of which F. E. Hinckley was eleeted President March 7, 185l. While the Ilinckley party were holding the annual meeting the Tinker party came into the room and_ pretended to organize a stockholders’ meeting, and in di- reet violation of the injunction pretended to elect a Board of Directors. Mr. Holcomb, holding one-half of the stock, and others who held small amounts of stock that was not enjoined,demanded theright to vote, and were refused.” Then the minority of the stock, all of which was enjoined, pretended_to elect a Board of Directors, of which J. D. Ilarvey pretended to be President}end,junder the au- thority of this illezal Board, it is claimed that a lease was made to the Milwaukee & St. Paul Company, . About two_years ago Judge Drummond appointed O. 1. Glover Receiver, who never took possession, and the Hinckley party, be- Ing satistied that the suiton which Mr. Glover wis appointed Receiver would be dismissed, went into the Ogle County Cireuit Court, and, on the 23d of Qctober last, C. F. Hol- conib was reappointed Receiver. The Tinker party, not knowing of this action, went into the Winnebago County. Circuit Court last February, and Mr. C. C. Jones was appointed Recelver. March 20 Jude Drummond dis- missed the case from the Federal Court, ‘and immediately the Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail- road attempted totake possession. Receiver Ilolcomb, claiming the road and maintaini his position, refused to recognize the Mil- wankee & St Paul, Thercupou the Mil- waukee & St. Paul went before Judge Brown, who had appointed Jones Receiver, and represented to him thai Receiver Hol- comb was destroying the property of the Company, and stated $30,000 worth of prop- erty had been destroyed. Judge Brown then directed Mr., Jones to take possession. This “State of affairs being brought to the notice of Judge Eustis yesterday, he issued the writ of assistance to help Mr. Ilolcomb to main- tain possession of the road, as stated be- ore. Mr. Holcomb states that the entire damage done to the property by overzealous em- ployés does not exceed $100. EAST-BOUND FREIGIT SHIPMENTS. During tie week just passed freight ship- ments to the East increased very heavily. This increase is not due to a revival of busi- ness, but to the fact that the snow-storms the week before had prevented the roads from doing mueh business for the first three days of the week, and much of the business that should have gone then wassent forward dur- ing the past week. Besides, shipments are always heavier for tne fast week of the -montb, as all contracts have to be setiled on the last day of the month, and consequently the roads were crowded during the last few days to their full capacity. ‘The railroad wen all agree in saying that business is dull and that shippers are not at all anxious to ship at vresent, there being littie demand for grain either at the East or in England. The prices here are higher than the Eastern and foreign people want to pay, and the dealers here rather hold on be- cause they expect better prices later. The weather seems to have the same effect on the prices of grain that it has on the mercury. If the sun comes out andthe prospects point to a cessation of hostilities on the part of the weather clerk the prices go down, and when the sun becomes obscured azain by clouds and a few tlakes of snow begin to fall, prices go upagain inanticipation of con- tinued cold and unfavorable weather and a probable failure of the crops this summer. As long as the unsettled condition of affairs continues the railroads carnot hope to do a very Jarge business. The reluctance of ship- pers to make shipments East at present is * traing. ‘may bave on hand, forwarding a statement of 'Association, and that their inteiligent settiement on, and Re- | the entire stock, It was voted to increase of every description, that your Directors several st all | camo.wns authorized Hid thore days from date of purchase, and to be valid for & Charlotte Alr-Line, for injunction to pre- passage only in tho lowest-grade,cars of express | vent the Directors of that line from leasing *M accordance with nbove ngteament, you | the property to the Richmond & Danvilte, will, at the close of this montb, please returi to | which . was “granted. in _Chambers of the: this olfice, by gxpross, ull. emigrant or third- | Sypreme Gourt of New York Friday, Col. class tickets or ol samo by train or mail, rs of this Company” that you | fiajeqtt, General Manager of the Richinond & Danviile, now.in Atlanta, says that the ap- “ Limited second-class tickets (or orders for | plication was made tov late;and that the lease same) will be supplied you in time 1o place them on snle,—ls:mrrox.‘-and rates and-time limits ) I wilf be quoted in tarils taking effect samc date.” had . been perfected before the application had been filed. .

Lower Broadway was crowded with drays, 'buses, and vehicles of every des€ription, drivers were shonting at ‘each other, and there was a seene of great em!{usion. People stoud upon the sidewalks waiting in the rain for an opportunity to cross the street, and among the impatient throng was an elderly-lovking Ixxrl)‘fl{wnrcnt— Iy much troubled by the situation, who, uiier watehing in vain for a policeman, finally made an effort to_cross the street, but re- treated in alurm. Just then a portly middle- aged’ gentleman of benign ~countenance stepped up and tonched the lady on the shoulder. ‘It is useless for you to wait or to look for a poficeman.” hie ‘said. “It is a thy that an old Jady like yoursclt should be kept ‘standing in this crowd, so if you will take my arm I will cross”—here he “paused, for the face of the lady was turned toward toward him, and he beheld the round, rosy countenance of a young lady just out of her teens, Ier bright black eyes spoke volumes tonishment and indignation, and with an additional upward turn to her naturally retrousse nose she mockingly replied: “Old lady, indeed !” and picking” up her dainty skirts she made a lvely runacross the street, gaining the opposit side in safety, and was quickly out of sight. The polite but dazed Samaritan stood still for u moment in sileut wonder, and then walled slowly away, whistling softly to himself. The.secrer of the blunder was simply this: The young Lady was cownpletely enveloped in an antigue Mother Hubbard’s eloak, whose heavy folds hung straightdown from its wide, old-fash- ioned yoke. Upon her head was an immense coal-scuttle scoop bonnet, the overarching brim covering her face and head and the sides of the bonnetwere held down by broad strings, hid in an_immense bow at one side. A largre Mother J{ubbard baz of black satin hung from her arm, and with her back to the crowd she looked as it shemight be her own great-grandmother.

RoyE, March 7.—Following the example of muany tourists in Italy, I managed to arrive in this city in time for the Carnival, and. there- fore, had departed from Naples before the tercible disaster in Ischia occurred, the news of which has been heralded far and near. And yetthis news, so heartrending, docs not portray all tho suffering, as coutinued jnvestigations prove that the loss of life is far greater than ‘was flrst supposed, while the condition of the surviving victims of this cruel dispensation is searcely more enviable than that of those who were thus suddenly snatcbed away. The greater portion of the surface of the island s safd to be entircly chunged,and it I8 not probavle that the luxuriant vegetn- tion that here ereated a perfect Garden of Eden will ever revive sufficiently to cover the wide- spread desolation, or disguise the durk chasms plowed by the hand of the fell destroyer. To the historian, the traveler, and the nrcheologist this locality Is full of interest; while the artist here Ouds subjects for his pencil thatarc seldom elsewhere rivaled, even in Italy. The principal town of Ischia is built ona rock of basalt 200 metres high; but it Is only tho shadow of the Jschia of the Middle Ages, which was destroyed in 1302 by an eruption of Mt. Epomé. . This eruption Wwas 50 terrible that for two or three mouths the whole island seemed to be on firo. The first.inhabitunts of Ischin, the Erythréens, were obliged to abandon it on account of CONTINUAL VOLCANIC ERUPTION, and it remained deserted until about 430 years before Christ. It was af:erwards setiled by tho Romans, who yiclded it tothe Neapolituns in ex- chango for Capr, and conscyuontiy wus exposed | 10 all'the vicisitudes of the metropolls, Tho volcano, Mt, Epomée, or St. Nicolus as it is called to-day, is the most remarkuble of all those on the islund, and, uitbougn very ditficult of asceat, this Inbor Is fully requited by tho en- chooting ' view whi is* : beheld from the suwmit. Here tbere Is u hermiw uge where one can repose after the laborfous Jouroey, and which is worthy of inspection on fecount of its primitive surroundings, which for centuries have remained vochanged. These cousist of u habitation formed by excavations in the rocks, aud a chupel whose fagade only is of masonry, wherein devout pilgrims are cou- stuntly "performing their devations. The sub- terranesn fire with which this Island is under- Inid. communicates extraordinary activity to vegetation, and gives great curative powers to the thermal waters which abound here: but, alas? this fire has destroyed the foundation of the beuutiful valley in which Cassamiceiola is situated, and spread deatn and destruction on every band, ‘Tho King and the inister of the Interior for- warded large sums tor the relief of the suffor- | crs linmediately nfter the disuster, when severul Roya! steamers were also dispatched trom Na- ples, with & lurge force of oflicers and phy- sicians, whose speedy arrival was the meaus of alleviating much of the distress resultur from such u calamity.

The Chamber of Deputics is now con- sidering the subject, and no doubt a large amount will be voted for the relief of the home- less inbabitants of Ischia, many of whom have sought ghelter in the {stand of Procida. Tradi- tlon states that the latter was once a portion of Ischia, from which it was torn asunder by an carthquake; aod here Homer REPRESENTED TYPI(US AS SLEEPING. ‘This monster of the primitive world is described sometimes as u fearful DUFricANe, und v Uthors asa fire-breathing giunt, who was concealed in Isehia (tho Iuarimeo of the Latlu poets), on waich account Jupiter leshed the country with bis lightning. **"yphacus bad 100 hends, fearful eyes, und terribie voices.

Ltulso fmpresses us with the belief that o sfinflar calamity to that of the present . +ime oceurred when Typbaus and Juplter were -fighting for supremacy; which tradition, divest- ed of its exaggerated fancies and puetical em- bellishments, would probably rever have been handed down ta us. The Islund of Procidn, as stated above, was . parated from Tochia by a violent commotion - of the earth, and is well worthy of notice, as it posdesses magny antiquities and beautiful resi- dences, while numerous mementoes recall the memory of_the cruel Jean de Procida, ** Lord of the Isle,” and principal instigator of the famous massncre known under the titic of ** The Sicilinn Vespers.” The desire to reach Rome in timo for THE CARNIVAL prevented mo visiting Capri, which is one of the few places in the eavirons of Naples that [ crased from miy program in order to view Rome under another aspect than that of dreariness, its vast squares deserted, and Its mafestic.ruins Ivoming up in death-like solitude and silence. The Curnival changed ull this: but I will not de- scribe what has been 50 often penned, and what is repented yedr after year, with apparently the same enthusiasm as of old, although the spirit of the Carnival has_gune to itg long repose, never to revive, Thus I retiected as the horrid mi siles which were substituted for the azinty bon-bons _of ~ old 1 th a magnificent chariot _sppeared, heaped up with tliowers, that dispelled the idea that this was allag empty show. This car was white and gold, and surinounted by a figure vt Minerva, at whose feeta_youth, gorgeously nt- tired in the costume of the time of Charles 1X., waa holding o magnificent bouquet tied with the Italinn colors. The charivt, which was gigantic, was adorned in front with the arms of the Medieis,—six balls of red and one of azurcon & fleld of gold; and on. the back with those of France and Italy. Seated around the car, were seen the ciwhtcen pensioners of the French Acadewny of Art now studying fo Rome, who Were throwing lowers on the crowd, and fast getting rid of the 4,600 bouquets which 1 subsc- Quently learned were scattered on thelr route. “he youny artists were costumed ns mignons ot Charles IX., in white clothund satin pourpoints. similar to the one nbove named who wus seated at the foot of the golden statue of Jinerva, evi- dently guarding bis beautiful bodquet, so zayly adorned with ribbons. for a special occasion, and cnusing many a heart to flutter as it was whispered that beauty was to win tne prize. But tho chariot, with its freight of flornl boom, moved on until itneared the Palncé Flano, where THE QUEEN £ was seated on o balcony, apparently cujuf—imz tue sight of the pageantry as it passed on below,” when suddenly - sbe smiled as-ouly Queen Margharita can swmile, in_that bewitching man-~ ner which is renowned through -all Italy. She hai received the bouquet, which qmcclully and respectfully performed its mission, und her kindly recognition fully expressed the pleasure she experienced on recelving this expressive token of regard. : Another feature of the Caratval worthy of notice was the Oricntal caravan, with its gor- Ecous eostumes and characteristic splendor, ™ As this passed pear the balcony of Ismail Pasha,- ex-Khedive of Egypt, the dethroned monarch seemed oppressed with sud memories of tha past, and, contrary to cxpectation, this revival of reminisceuces of former glory was evidently anything but enjoyuble. His Highness has been passing the winter at Rome, where he rented tho mugnificent villy that King Victor Emmuanucl ot enllant memory had constructed for his morganatic wife, ' the Countess of - Mira- flore. Here Ismail bas been givinoz mag- nificeut entertainments to Minfsters and states- men, and to the élite of Roman society; but, notwithstanding these. cffurts to enliven . tho dullness which hus characterized the sociaf world of Rome this scason, 1t still remained the swme, nlthough an unusual number of Princes and Princesses, Dukes and Duchesses, and other titled personagws, buve chosen this for thelr ubidiny placo the present winter, « Tho Pope’s upathetic proclivities scem to bave been contaglous, us the successor of Plus LX. scknowledges that the A postolic Paluco was_too worldly ju its surroundings during the last Poutiticate; and that oven tho reception of plis cims were theatrical exhibitions, and only serv- fmz to couvert the sncred precincts’ joto an en- chunted scene for the performange of the great comedy of universal superatition. , e .

This vccurrence recently took place'in Bertolla, in the environs of Turin, where a petidon was drawn up to the Evangelical Church of the Iatter place, praying that a Protestant minister might be sent to ox- ‘plain to them the Word of God. . SMUGGLERS bave been actively at work in Rome,—the gigantic manner fn which their operations have been carried on almost exceeding the possibiiity of belief. For the success of this traudulent undertaking & tucnel . was constructed, and 2 railroan, furnished with lit- tle wugons, served to transport all kinds of merchgndise to its destination in the interior of the city.. When this discovery was made, the subtermnean passage contained 3 large amount of sugar, hogsheads of wine, and other sllYpllu. ‘which of course were sefzed: but no knowledge has becn obtained regarding the amonnt of £oods which had thus been sent to Rome trec of duty. The tunnel extended from a vineyard situated near the Gate Angelica, and opened within a short distance of & cavalry-bar- ricks on the domain of the Prince Torlonin, where the ingenious devices employed to con- ceal it rendered it javisible until accident re- vesled tho secret. A\ more pleasant discovery has been made in the envirens of Rome. at Frascati, where mag- niticent paintings of the school of Rapbael have recently been ‘brought to light in the Church Santa Marin del Vivarfo.
