Theru appears to be considerable ex citement in Ireland growing out of the arrests of agitators upon warrants charging them with making seditious speeches about Irish tenant right. The Homo Rule executive committee in Loudon has made vigorous protests against the arrests, and started u sub scription to promote the defense of the prisoners. Public meetings are to be held, and the excitement will probably grow to be much more intense than it now is. Meantime it is rumored that further arrests will be made, and the announcement comes from London that the important garrisons in Ireland wi'l ‘mmediately be reintorced and strength ened. The tenant right agitation in its present shape is as much the product ol the agricultural distresses of Ireland as of auy other cause. But underlying it, directing it and profiting by it is a much more serious movement—thut for home rule, which is now assuming a definite direction, such as will give unity to its purposes and its supporters in the determination to hold a general Irish convention in 1882, then and there to present Ireland’s grievances, and to demand local self government as the only effective means of redress. The date proposed for the convention sug gested itself to the Irish National Com mittee because it will bo the centennial of the so-called Irish convention of 1782, by means of which the repeal of Poyn- ing’s law was secured. That law, which dated back to the reign of Henry VII., practically put the Irish Parliament under the complete control of the Brit ish Privy Council, and indeed forbade even its sessions without the King’s ap proval. In 1780, when England was in volved deepest in the war w.th the United States and France, Henry Grat tan began the agitation for the repeal of Poyning’s law in the British Parliament. The Irish volunteers, organized at the openiug of the war in 1/76, and at this time u well drilled and well armed force of seventy-five thousand, rallied in sup port of Grattan’s motion to a man. The “Irish convention" was called to gether, and two hundred delegates met on February 15, 1782, at the Protestant church in Duncunnnn, guarded by a host of volunteers under arms. The convention indorsed Grattan’s motion and denounced Poyning’s law with em phasis. In less than two months after the adjournment of the convention the British Parliament repealed Poyning’s law and restored independence to the Irish Parliament. Eighteen years later tho Irish Parliament itself disappear ed in the act of union—an act which, it is claimed, whs procured by the grosstst and most flagrant corruption, and which Plunkett, Grattan, Curran, O’Connell, and their successors have denounce with sav- O’Connell’s long fight for "repeal” resulted in obtaining tho concession of Catholic emancipa tion. The Home Rulers of to-day have called the national convention with the direct object in view of pro curing the restora’ion of the Irish Par liament, without which, they claim, they are less free than they were when they had the Parliament, even with Poyning’s law to handicap it. They declare that an Irish Legislature alone has the right to legislate for Ireland, and that in this respect Ireland has less uutonomy than Canada, or Austra lia, or New Zealand. Mr. Parnell, al ready a leader, although he is but twenty-eight years old, started the idea of a national convention', and he wanted one consisting of three hundred dele gates, to be called to meet at Duncaunon immediately. A committee of Home Rulers, however to whom the matter was submitted, have arranged a more elaborate plan, and one which will per mit of greater deliberation. They pro pose that the convention of three hun dred members, shall meet in Dublin in April, 1882, and that the membership and qualifications shall be upon the basis of the plan of O’Connell for the reconstruction of the Irish Parliament, and it is probable that their decision will be abided by. In the meantime the Euglisb hostility to the project for a hvr tho know!* Tho Land Agitation in Ireland. ^ Kw York, Dec. 1.—A speecial from Dublin dated last night says that tho flame of agitation burns brightly. A grea Bensmiou has been created in Ire* land by Gladstone’s references, in a re cent speech, to the Irish church, which are thought to afford encouragement to the agitators. The next threo or four weeks will probably witness a great de velopment of the agitation. It is re ported that secret organized drilling is going on in the west of Ireland con stantly. It is now stated that Mr. Par nell will not go to America on account of recent arreBts and forthcoming trials. London, Dec. 1.—Tho gathering in Hyde Park to day in response to a call for a demonstration in favor of tho Irish agitators was nothing moro than an immense mob largely composed of persons attracted by curiosity. The speakers were surrounded hy a dense throng which cheered so enthusiastical ly as to render the speeches for the most part inaudible. Resolutions protesting egainst tho recent arrests and favoring peasant proprietary in Ireland were adopted by acclamation. Some of the speakers used most seditious language. Agitation and sympathy meetings were held all over the county of Mayo, Ireland, to-day. The principal one was at Ballaghoderin, at which Mr. James Daly was present. He was re ceived and escorted to the stand by- hundreds of men urrned with pikes. Several Catholic clergymen were pres ent. Daly was enthusiastically greet ed. Three Government reporters were present taking notes. The gathering numbered about 10,000 persons.

Curod tbo in Iieiand was read in all the Catholic churches in the metropolis- yesterday. It is stated that in west Ireland such hunger, poverty and want is now to bs seen as never has been known since the great Irish famine. A general collec tion for this purpose was appointed for next Sunday. The home rule sympathizers of Glas gow held a meeting yesterday and pass ed a resolution condemning the action of the Government.

Sandy Hook, November 30.—Some of the crew of the Life Saving Station No. 1 this afternoon, saw a commotion in the water at about 400 yards distance from the shore, which was at first thought to be c rosed by a school of por poises. A minute later a monstrous black form arose out of the foaming water. The monster was seen by all the mem bers of the crew, who ran along the beach and kept it in view as long as po.-sible. It finally disappeard iu a southerly direction, going toward Long Branch. It kept at a distance of 1.200 feet from the shore, increasing its speed a little while before it wap lost sighi of. The possibility that this might have been the whale whose tail Capt. Foster sav ‘ says his steamboat’s bow almost shaved iu passing on Thursday at first sugges ted itself, but the life saving men’s de scription of the monster seen by them bean little resemblance to that of the whale. Capt. Foster thought the whale he saw must have been 80 feet long, and some of the passengers estimated its length at 150 feet. But the life station men assert that tho creature they saw was fully 300 feet long. That the mon ster with which the William Fletcher narrowly escaped a collision was really a whale was shown by tho fact of its having been seen to spout. But the monster seen off the coast to day did not spout, and the manner in which the men sasy it handled its long body was very unlike a whale’s motions.
