In common with the rest of London I went yester- day to see che long talked of demonstration in favor of the Fenian prisoners, which took placoin Hydo ark, Twas present at the meeting and arranging of the procession in Trafalgar square; I saw it marched off to its destination; I accompanied it along Pall Mall, ep Waterloo place into Regent street, thence from the Oxford circus the length of Oxtord street to the marbie arch into Hyde Park; I heard the speeches, or at jeast many of them, that were delivered; I noted the numbers of “sympa- tuzers” who wore green scarfs or bands or rosettes; 1 witnessed the great multitude that had come out on that dark, fogzy Sunday afternoon to see what there was to be seen; I saw the procession of the vartous Irish lodges, socteties or districts marshalled again togetuer to take their departure; I saw them move off to the north, south, east and west; and my verdict upon the whole affair ts that a greater fail- ure, as @ political mecting or demonstration, never took place tu England, at any rate notin my expe- rigace, which exteads over rather more than a quar ter of a century ‘The point of rendezvous for those who were to take part in the procession was Trafalgar square, Here, about one o'clock, the “demonstracurs” began to assemble, Every “lodge” or district was headed by a banner, on each of which there was an inscrip- ton, suitable or otherwise. On One of these banners wero the words “Justice to Ireland,” on another Release of the Captives,” on @ third “ Rebellion Agoust Despots isa Duty to God,” and so forth, One—nay, two—of the standards seemed to havo come to early grief, They were green, with inscrip- tions in large gold letters. On these nad, I presume, originally been, on tho one flag, “Vor Popult Vou Dei; but either the wind bad illtreated the handl- work of tie patriots, or else a want of funds had prevented the makers from completing the order, As if was the words, from want of certain letters, stood thus:—"Oe Fop ox.” The over tnyured ban- her Was also green, and the inscription was also in jarge golden letters, I noticed it in the commence- ment of the day and saw that it bore the very ap- propriate words, “freedom for the Captives;” but erther the wind or the damp air or @ proper want of strength in the fintsh*of the fag had injured this standard also, and many persons were very much puzzied to read upon It, long ere the meeting was oyer, the mysterious announcement, “D— the Captives.” As the line marched through the streets to Kyde Pack {t was headed by what had been called ‘ihe ladies’ procession."’ ‘This consisted of about 400 young woiren, all, I should say, of the laboring class, or of the poorer kind of shop girls. They wero all very respectably clad, All wore some arti- cle of dress that was greon, and many of thom were ciad in green from head to foot. Besides these 400 young persons there were about 100 “ladies’’ of the class that sell chestnuts oe apples atthe corners of the streets, and ail rather above than under sixty years of age. I confess this somewhat injured the general appearance of the procession, and had not a litte chilling eifect upon those who wave an ap- preciative eye for a pretty woman. When the ladies Nad ilied past four deep the “gon- tlemen” who composed the procession fo.iowed, also marching four deep. Now here occurs a dificuity Which i had better face at once and get ever as quickly as 1 can. No man living respects tue work- ing classes more than I do, and J am iree to acknow- jedge that I have met in ail quarters sons of toll who in every feclng of the heart and mind would de uonor to any ciass in life, The procession yesterday Waa composed exclusively of laboring men, with a suht sprinkling of petty shopkeepers aud a lew still rarer samples of tae better-class mechanics, There are in London and suburbs of London rather mere than 200,000 trish men and women of tae laboring classes. Of these there actually walked in the procession yesterday about 600 “ladies,” and— put them down at the very outside figures, and aiter comparing notes with four or five irlends who were present—uot more, DOL & man More, than 6,000 “gontiemen.” Judge, then, Whether the “domonstra- tion’ was not, even So far as tue Irish themscives are concerned, @ failure, Butit was more, | have not the slightest hesitation in saying that the elect of tae proceedings in Hyde Park yesterday Will be to keep the doors of tucir prison shut for at least an additional year upon tie Feniaus, That Me. Gladatone will eventualiy pur- doa them there can be, and there 1s, no reasonable doubs. But that he, or auy other Miaister of any country, could do 80 at present is utteriy 1mpossivie. ‘Yo begin with, as the Weekly Despatch (whica Is the most radical paper in England) said vae day before yesterday, the platform whica the Fenians and their sympathizers stand upon at present is this:—“Kroo our hands, unchain our limbs, open our prison doors and then we will attack you again—let us loose and We will fight you once more.” ‘There 19 no jour- nal in tis country that has such an im- Menge amount of irifluence among tie work- ingmen as the Despatch, It is very significant thatthe organ should deprecate in the strongest terms that pardon should pe granted to the Fenians at present, whatever may be done pre- sently. Ia America you certamly have pardoned tho Southern Coniederates and their offences, Bus they came Lo you as suppliants, asking ior mercy, not as dictators, tureateniag todo more aud to do worse U—anod then they were set freo, Taere is anotuer view to be iaken of thia question, We all know the great dificnities Mr. Gladstone had to contend with in passing the Irish Churca bil, We «now also that he wil! have far greater dimicultics to coutend with m getting @ really gvod land bill tarough Paritament. But if he was to pardon tae Fenian prisoners at present (1 lay stress upon these inst two words, for 1 still hold and beiteve chat they will be pardoued in good time) would not evory enemy, and not a few friends, that the present Mivistry has say tiat the pardon had beon got out of them by fear? And Would not tis, ina great wea- sure, hinder and preyent any land bil being passed? You Americans are & proud peopie, and wo ave much the same. Would you have hiked any ad- nuaistration to pardon the Southern ex-Confeaerates through fear of What those Confederates threatened ? Most certainly you would not. ‘Yo pardon these Fenian prisoner at present would really be to hinder any {nriher measure of justice to the Irish nation, and this Mr. Gladstone ba’ peither tue sight uor the wish to do. Once more I say, put yourselves in our place. Suppose that a year or two ago the ex-Confederate Souvherners had held a demonstration in New York to obtain the pardon of those wio had rebeticad against tne United Staves governmens What would you have said if the procession had besn headed by @ Britisn lag? Yet this was what the Fenian sympa- Uuzers did yesterday. In my admiration for wat great republic of Watch the banner 13 the glorious “stars aud Stripes,’ | am second to no man in the World—not even to any American. But! think—end every sensible man in the Staves will egree with me—that the Union Jack would not have been more ontof pince nor more lnstiting to the American na- tion if cgrried at the head of an ex-Confecorate pro- ceasion 1a Broadway, New York, tian the Stars and Stripes were yeaverday, whe curried at the Lead of tue Amnesty procession. In citiior case itamounted or would huyo amounted to much the same thing; it was or would have becu as much as to say, “We demand what we want, and If you, the goverament of this conatry, do not give us what we require we will go elwewhere and force you to do 60.” This levter bas aiready so much exce nary limits that Ihave no spaco left to mention o1 or two little facts connected with tlis “demonstra- During the greater part of the afternoon that I spent ta the lark my compa: gentleman, Wo Was not a litue aiuged as the sorry, sad, “one horse coaca’’ Jook of tte procession and those who composed lt, Among other banners and emblems carried by some of the pairiots were two very greasy red niguteaps, stuck upon stunted po!

The hreaking up of the great coloual empire of England would, in my Opinion, be a calamity to the coloni to this country auu to tue world; and I cannet doud' that vouare rigutia believing this to be the result Wuich must be looked for from the policy distinculy ceclared by her Majesty's government. In urder to avert the threatened misiortune | do not see what more judicious step could Lave been taken tian that Whiciit you have adopted in soggesting to the gov: eraments of our most importaul colonies that the: slould send representatives to meet in London b February tor (ue purpose of considering tie present State of the relations between tus country and ita colonies, with the view of recommending to ter Majesty’s governments measures for placing unose relauons on a better looting, But | would taxe the liberty o1 polnting out to you tuatin the fetter you have addressed to the colonial governments you have omitted to advert to some of the considera. tions which seem to ine especially to reguire therr attention if they wish Lo preserve areal and living connection between the coonies and the British empire. The fact ought not to be overicoked that the policy to Which you justly object as tending directly vo tue severance of this conuevtion, has not been taken up only of late by the prestut Ministers of the Crown. It may, pertiaps, have been wore distiactly avewed by them tian it had been previously; but ‘or somo years ib had been practically actod upon by their predecessors, ana 13 no dondt 1a avcordance with what 1s now the prevailing opinion in Parliament, ‘The adoption of this policy (wien I consider to be one of seltisnness quite unwortiay of a great nation) aud the prevatence of the opinioa waich nas given rise to it, must be regarded as thedirect and natural consequence of the claim put iorward o/ lae years on bekatf of tho colomes to be free trom all control or the exercise Of any Suusiaatial authority over them by the imperial governinent, Tere is ao one who has always been more opposed than myself to meddilng aud vexatious interierence on the part of tia governinent in the purely local and tnverpal auairs of colomes of which the inhaottants are ea- vabie of proporiy managing these attaurs for them- selves.

Lam bo.nd to gay that, for my own part, much as I deplore wuatd reward as tue virtual dissolution of our colonial empire by the adoption of the policy in question, Ido not think that It Ought Co be abandoned excep! on the condi tion I have mentioned, 1 will not now trouble you with any statement of my OWN Views as Lo the priu- cipies on which the limits should be determined; on the ono hand, of the claims or the colonies ou the imperial goverament for protection and assisianco; and on the other, of the authority they ought to acknowledge a3 belonging toil.
