LORD RIPON AND MR. MORLEY’S VISIT TO DUBLIN., THE PROPOSED BANQUET ABANDONED.The Dublin Express to-day announces, in connection with the visit ofLord Ripon and Mr. Morley to Dublin, that the proposed banquet has beenabandoned and a conversazione will be held in its place. The explanationof this is given by the Express as follows: — A difficulty arose with respect to the proposed banquet, which after full consideration was found to ;be^ insuperable. A banquet could not be givenwithpyfa, list of toasts, andthe, first; which is proposed in festive assemblies. pf Englishmen is the -Queen. i But to propose such a toast to :a, companj^bf Irish Nationalists, brought together from all parts of the country., to .^present the enthusiasm of the people of Ireland, would be . simply ijinpbfejble. The thing could not be attempted. It would spoil the 'whole demonstration, and instead of a blessed union of English and Irish patriots joining haadls/ the odds would be loo to i. that the name of her Majesty would bereceivectiwth indignant hisses, and those who ventured to join in the toast would be “bflibed” at, buffeted, and boycotted. __THE IMPRISONMENT OF MR. BLUNT.* «Mr, Shaw-Lefevre, in sending ,£25 to the Freeman's Journal Blunt Defence Fund, writes:—1 II need not enlarge upon the importance of pressing forward the civil actions against the Chief Secretary and Mr. Byrne. They will raise the issue as to the right of public meeting in a far more favourable form than the criminal trial has done. The .questions of lawa will be decided a by a judge of the Supreme Court, with an appeal to a higher tribunal. The questions of fact will go to a jury, instead of being dealt with.by a single prejudiced person. If the trial in the civil cases should result in a verdict favourable to Mr. Blunt, it would be quite unprofitable for the Government to retain him m prison. We should be fighting for the release of Mr. Blunt as well as for the assertion of a great principle. _• -THE CORK SCANDALS.newspapers, one I conduct of certainappeared in two 1 alleged immoralstated on excellent authority that Major Roberts, the governor Gaol, has commenced legal proceedings against the proprietors with the object oT vindicating his character.
