Ninety thousand men marched in tho col- amn of procession. * a Parniomo ovrnonsr. The demonstration wa: of an enthusiastic | and intensely patriotic character. Thousands of people from the neighboring cities and irom England and Scotland were | present. THE sPiLiT oF Before tho procession got under way fears were entertained that, from the strong faction spirit which had been evinced all along, there might be trouble ahead. THE MUSTER, At an early hour this morning the people who were to take part in the monster demon- siration, commenced to gather in the neigh- borhood of the starting point. Good dis- eipline prevailed. THE STAR. At cleven o'clock the monster phalanx of patriotic Irishmen and lovers of the memory of O'Connell began their march. GREAT ENTHUSIASM prevailed. The green flag of Erin was seen hanging from the housetops, and with it, in many places, the Stars and Stripes floated side by side. HOW IT WAS COMPOSED. ‘The great corps was composed as follows: — FACTION. Sixty thousand representatives were press | ent from the leading trades societies and workingmen’s unions in Dublin and other Trish cities, COMPRATEENITIES. ‘There were also 25,000 members of various social, religious and benevolent socictics, THE FRIENDS OF AMNESTY. The various ‘‘eircles” or societies of the Amnesty Association turned out to the num- ber of fully 10,000 ren. demands of the British government the re- lease from imprisodment of the Fenians now in detention in the jails and penitentiarics of Great Brit A BELLICOSE MOVE. The Amnesty Brotherhood made it a point to get to College Greon before the procession formed, LOUDLY CHEERED. As they passed slovg the other waiting tanks Of processionists the men of the trades socictios raised thei: hats and saluted them, showing a mutual understanding and good will eristing between both divisions of mea ae Isieh patriots. A YERST SKIRMISH. The Amnesty Byotherivod wore londly This organization | | keep at the bead of the procession, which they | succeeded in doing. | One dispute with them on this account came near leading to a serious shedding of blood, A CONFLICT. They had held their position with great tenacity and vehemence, and showed a dis- | position not to yield a foot of their position. | But about this time matters began to wear a somewhat serious look and a battle appeared inevitable, WIGS UPON THE GREEN. _ Upon te arrival of the procession at the 1 Hoyal Barracks the Amnesty Association was met by 150 coal porters, wearing green sashes and mounted on powerful horses. THR COMMANDER, The assailants were headed by Mr. J. P. Smythe, the Member of Parliament for West- | meath, 4 CHARGE UNDEB COVER OF THE STARS AND STRIPES, Among the coal porters was a man carrying the Stars and Stripes. The coal porters attacked the Amnesty | Brotherhood, and a fierce encounter between | both sides ensued, the result of which was that the frontrauks of the amnesty pedple were broken and the head of the column thrown into disorder. a “nucrion.”” The mélée was one of the genuine Irish kind. | Wists and sticks were frecly used, while the air rang with imprecations. Bruised and broken heads were the order of the day, but fortunately nobody was killed. ORDER RE-ESTABLISHED. After order had been re-established the | Procession got under way again, and soon | reached Sackville street, where it was received with loud and deafening cheers. A RACE FOR YHE POINT OF HONOR, The procession arrived at Sackville street | about two o’clock. r | Meantime the coal porters, who were or- | ganized as a workingmen’s society and were carrying little American flags to the number of a hundred orso, made a diversion and got the head of the column, thereby putting the amuesty and home rule party in the second | place, A BLACK BANNER, The amnesty men displayed a big black banner at the head of their line and carried small banners of the same color, each in- seribed in white— | ‘Remember the Prisoners in Chains.” | A struggle again took place for precedence | as the column neared the end of the route. The amnesty men, with their huge black | banner, pushed forward with the intention of being the first upon the platform. i GrNxrna rvusn. The general mob made a rush at the same | time, and a sceno of great confusion and ex- citement ensued. The amnesty men climbed | up one side of the platform just as the coal | porters ascended the other, so that both got on together. ON A COMMON PLATFORM, Each party seemed satisfied with the vic- tory thus achieved, and while affairs looked very threatening fora few minutes no blows were interchanged. CITIZEN FEARS OF FRESH TROUBLE. It is the opinion of many of the old resi- | dents in this city, expressed to your corre- | spondent, that the day will not terminate with- out some trouble or serious encounter taking place. | | la BLOODLESS, DAY—DBUT A DAY OF XOITE MENT. [SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THZ HERALD BY CABLE. ] Dusim, August 6—Evening. Contrary to the predictions which were made in the morning, the O'Connell Cente- nary Celswration day passed without blood- | Shed. THE COAL PoRTERS’ RoW. The only row which occurred was caused by a body of Dublin coal porters forcing their | way to the head of the line of the street pro- | cession, and, at a Jater hour of the day, cut- ting the traces of the carriage which bore the | banner of the Amnesty Association. MEN IN THE Gap, | Men were immediately substituted in place | of the horses, which were thus let free from | the vebicle, und they drew the carriage through the streets all along the remainder of the route. TROURLE AT THE PLATronat. The amnesty men performed their duty in | | peace until they reached the platform from which the oration was to be read, when o struggle was commenced for the purpose of obtaining possession of the speaker's stand. THE AMNESTY MEN TRIUMPH OVER THE CLERI- CALs, The struggle resulted successfully for the members of the Amnesty Association, despite a protest by 300 priests. O'HAGAN’S ADDRESS NOT READ. | The Right Honorable the Lord Mayor at- tempted to read Lord O’Hagan’s address on the lite and services of O'Connell, but the in- terruption was so great he could not proceed, and simply announced to the multitude that the address would be published and circu- lated, ISAAC BUTT, M.

He said that he had not been invited by obedionee to the repeated calls of the assems blage, he would make a brief speech. Ho counselled peace and moderation. O'CONNOR POWER'S SPEECH. Mr. O'Connor Power, M. P., followed after Professor Butt. He said he had been invited to participate in the speechmaking on the platform, but he declined for the reason that a whig pen- sioner of England—Lord O’ Hagan—had been selected as the spokesman of the Irish nation. He had come forward now, because the | conspirators who attempted to strike a blow against the cause of Irish nationality | ists must find full expression. O'Connell repelled with scorn the Chancellorship bribe which was offered him by the British govern- ment. It was an insult to his memory to nominate a whig pensioner of the same gov- ernment to stand forth as the representative of tho Liberator’s principles. HURRAH FOR THE INDEPENDENTS. The remarks of Mr. Butt and Mr. Power were greeted with great applause by the mul- titude, AN AMNESTY MEETING. An amnesty meeting was subsequently held in the hall of the Mechanics’ Institute. A DEMAND FOR EXPLANATION. It was resolved to summon Mr. Smythe, M. P., to explain his very extraordinary con- duct in ordermg the traces of the amnesty banner carriage to be cut. THE BANQUET—A BUTI-AND-DUFFY UPROAR. There was a centenary banquet in the Ex- hibition Palace to-night. Six hundred per- sons were present. It was an exceedingly ex- cited gathering from the beginning. INDEPENDENCE—BUT NO CONTROL. ‘This culminated in a scone of complete up- roar and disorder, THE REASON WHY. The toast ‘‘The Legislative Independence of Ireland” was given. The Lord Mayor of Dublin, who presided, called on Sir Charles Gavan Duffy to respond. This caused a tremendous uproar, and loud cries for Mr. Butt. MR. DUFFY UNABLE TO PROCHED. Sir Charles Gavan Duffy was not allowed to speak, THZ LORD MAYOR RETIRES. Upon this the Lord Mayor vacated his seat as president of the assemblage and took his departure trom the building. TERRIBLE EXCITEMENT—AND ALL IN THE DARE. Great excitement followed. The lights were extinguished, and the banquet fete ended in confusion. THE TRADES AT DINNER. There was another disorderly scene at a centenary banquet of the trades people. This took place in the large room of the Rotunda, and terminated in scenes of dread- ful confusion, uproar and general disorder. A COUNTER DEMONSTRATION OF THE HOME RULERS. A meeting will be held to-morrow as a counter demonstration to the proceedings of the Lord Mayor. ° Twenty-four home rule members of Par- liament have pledged themselves to attend. PUBLIO COMMENT ON THE CENTENARY SERMON. Dus, August 6, 1875. The sermon delivered by Dr. Croke, yester- day, is much admired for its eloquence, but is svarply criticised by liberal Catholics for | drawing anew an ultramontane line which virtually excludes liberals from the Church. The Dublin Evening Mail says nine parts of the discourse were devoted to the Church and one to O’Oonnell. THR O'CONNELL IN MEMORIAM IN ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND. Lonxvox, August 6, 1875.
