almost every street were of the procession.  Cabs filled with ladies and gentlemen remained at the waysides all day watching the march.  The horses’ heads were gaily decorated with green ribbons, while every Jehu in the city wore a rosette or a crape band.  Nothing of special note occurred until the procession turned into Dame-street.  The appearance of the demonstration was here far greater than at any other portion of the city.  Both sides of the street, and as far as Carlisle-bridge, were lined with cabs and carriages filled with spectators who were prevented by the bitter inclemency of the day from taking an active part in the proceedings.  The procession was here grandly imposing, and after Larkin’s hearse were no less than nine carriages, and several cabs.  It is stated that Mrs. Luby and Miss Mulcahy occupied one of the vehicles, and relatives of others now in confinement were alleged to have been present.  One circumstance, which was generally remarked as having great significance, was the presence in one line of ten soldiers of the 86th Regiment.  They were dressed in their great overcoats, which they wore open so as to show the scarlet tunic.  These men may have been on leave, inasmuch as the great military force were confined to barracks, and kept under arms from six o’clock, a.m.  The cavalry were in readiness for action, if necessary.  Mounted military and police orderlies were stationed at various points of the city to convey any requisite intelligence to the authorities, and the constabulary at the depot, Phoenix Park, were also prepared, if their services should be required.  At the police stations throughout the city large numbers of men were kept all day under arms.  It is pleasant to state that no interference was necessary, as the great demonstration terminated without the slightest disturbance.  The public houses generally remained closed until five o’clock, and the sobriety of the crowds was the subject of the general comment.

From an early hour in the morning every possible position along the quays that afforded a good view of the procession was taken advantage of, and, despite the inclemency of the weather, the parapets of the various bridges, commencing at Capel-street, were crowded with adventurous youths, who seemed to think nothing of the risks they ran in comparison with the opportunities they had of seeing the great sight in all its splendour.  From eleven until twelve o’clock the greatest efforts were made to secure good places The side walks were crowded and impassable.  The lower windows of the houses were made the most of by men who clutched the shutters and bars, whilst the upper windows were, as a general rule, filled with the fair sex, and it is almost unnecessary to add that almost every man, woman, and child displayed some emblem suitable to the occasion.  Indeed, the originality of the designs was a striking feature.  The women wore green ribbons and veils, and many entire dresses of the favourite colour.  The numerous windows
