Nobody adopted Miss Annw Paruell's suggestion that the Irish should dip their sprigs of green in i surround them with black in token of mourning; and Mr, John Parnell, who was recently elected City Marshal of Dublin in honour of his brother's memory repudiated his sister's advice and counselled his countrymen not ely to give 1a hearty welcome to the Queen on her approaching visit, but to rejoice in her recognition of the shamrock and all it implies, Every thing betokens a most and affectionate greeting for the Queen Ireland. Yesterday her Majesty journeyed t" Woolwich and drove a couple of miles through the streets from the Dockyard to the Herbert Military Hospital, where she visited the wounded soldiers from South Africa.

The new mode of demonstration which has just come into vogue, the carry-ug and waving of Cuion Jacks and Royal Standards and of flags bearing the armorial devices of Scotland or Ireland, was more general than ever.
