We have received the most positive information that certain American sympathisers with the revolutionary movement in Cuba have loaded a steamer with munitions of war for the use of the insurgents; and these munitions are to be landed to-day at a spot known as Mulata Bay, a few miles to the westward of this port.
The Justice Room was thronged long before the Lord Mayor took his seat on the Bench, and all the approaches were crowded by anxious sympathisers. All the evidence was of a purely formal character.

'I heard they had a row over it. There were nine bonfires lighted in Kerry after I succeeded.
The Church of the Madeleine was filled with people of all kinds the diplomatic corps in uniform, a very large representation of senators and deputies.
