The press of Dublin are unanimous in their expressions of indignation at the sentiments of decided hostility to the Home rnle movement recently avowed by the Marquis of Hartington, Chief Secretary for Ireland. One of the leading journals stigmatises him as a stranger, ruling the Irish people from a back street in the Capitol of a strange city. The feeling in journalistic circles generally is very bitter against this conduct of .the Chief Secretary. At New York, on 17th December, the parade of the Internationalists proved a great success. A large number of spectators were attracted to the vicinity of Cooper Institute, where the procession formed. The procession was arranged about half-past two, Hawkins* Zouaves' Band played a dirge, and leading the column, followed by a platoon of the Skidmore Guard (colored); next came Messrs Banks and Fleuraux, then a number of women on foot, amongst them Tennie O. Claffin and Mrs Woodhull, the former carrying a red flog inscribed "Social and political Equality for both Sexes." Then came the Cuban League; another crowd of females and males, and a catafalque carrying three coffins and drawn by six horses. Next came the Bricklayers' Union and Cabinetmaker^ Union. Among the notabilities in the procession were General Ryan, the Cuban patriot O'Donovan llosaa, Mrs Francis Kose M'Kinley. There was a profusion of red flags, banners, rosettes, and scarfs. The banner captured by the police latt Sunday was one of the most noticeable. It bore the following inscription : " The Commune expands as the axe of its executioner falls upon the necks of its martyr* 1 On another was, " Tho world is out country; ko do good our religion." uA?fZ?™ - C followin 8 : "And they bad all things m common." The line of procession was dowu the Bowory to Great Jones street, to Broadway; across Broadway to Waverley place, to Fifth avemui • tip Fifth avonue to Thirty-fourth street, to Sixth avenue, down to Sourtecutlj street, to the Lincoln monument in Union square, around which the procession marched and then dispersed.
