The deatii of MX Collins has aroused the Irish nfction to fierce anger. Although Mr. MulcaEy desires toi continue Mr. Collins's policy of clemency, the people are already pressing the Government to adopt severe reprisal measure^ against the murderers. Mr. Collins did more than anyone to save the rebels from themselves, insisting on leniency jin ocder that when victory wa3 obtained it would not leave the seeds of bitterness; but the people are already threatening to take the law into their own hands. It is reported that an infuriated crowd in Cork attempted, to storm the .gaol with the object of lynching Jfce rebel- p^rison,ers. It is certain thatlihe death of Mr.' Collins will result in a vigorous round-up of the rebels, who are merely scattered bands preying on the countryside.
