Lonpon, Dee. 14.

| Meetings were held in various parts of London yesterday in support of the move- ment to procure a respite for O’Donnell,

At aconference held by St. Bridget’s Club in Holborn, the following resolution was passed: ;

‘We having heard O’Donnell’s statement te his brother made last Thursday, earnestly urge the Home Secretary to obtain a respite for O'Donnell on account of what we are firmly convinced was a miscarriege of justice for daring to defen’ himself against a murder- ous attack made by one who has been fitly described as the most infamous criminal of modern times.”

A copy of the resolution was sent to Gladstone. ©’Donnell’s statement to his brother yesterday is substantially the same as that qnoted by Mr. Russell at the trial. O'Donnell adds, ‘‘I never said to Cabitt, the witness for the prosecution, what he swore about my having threatened to take Carey's life. Idon’t intend to make any further statements.”’

WhoxnIrec is in a state of excitement over the strike of drivers and firemen on the Canadian Pacific Railway. The wages were recently reduced and accepted by all except the engineers and firemen- whose monthly bonuses had been reduced from $12 to $7 per month respectively, to half thoee figures. On the 12th inst., a deputation waited on Sunt. Eyan and presented a schedule of wages whieh they said they were willing to accept. He ssid the schedule asked for greater wazes than before the monthly bonus had been reduced; however, he would forward their demand to General Manager Van Horne, and it would be about ten days before an answer could be got. The delegates said they would not? wait that lovg and would only give the company twenty- four hours to decide, after which the wlole matter would be referred to Mr. Arthur, president of the brotherhood of locomotive engineers of the United States, On Mr, Egan refusing to have anything to do with Arthur, he ins'ructed the master mechanics to issue the following order for all the men t> sign: ‘‘We hereby agree to accept employ- ment from the Canadian Pacific company at the rate of wages offered by the company in our present capacity.” Mr. Egan said if they did not wish to sign they might leave work. Che engineers and firemen refuzed to sign, and but a single train left Winnipeg on Tuesday last, it being in charge of master-mechanic Reid as engineer, and Superintendent Egan as fireman.

Tuz Ovpest Prrest.—The Calais Times says:—‘'Rev. James Quinn, of Milltown, N. B., is the oldest Catholic clergyman in the Maritime Provinces. He has reached the age of seventy-six years, and neorly fifty years of this long li‘e has been spent in the mine istry.”

The 7imes is mistaken, as Rev. Michael Egan, of Nelson, is an older priest than the venerable Father Quinn. On 19th June, 1879, the fiftieth anniversary of Father Egan's oidination to the priesthood was celebrated. Io point of age and service in the misistry he is, thereforo, the senior of Father Quinn.—
