Now Mr. President and iellow citizens, if we could bring these people here befere us— if we could make our people realize this utter and com- plete destitution of the Irish nation, and appeal to their feelings and sympathies for relief, we know what their nse would be. But it is difficult to make our people realise it. Here we do not know what famine is. But let ns reflecta little.

Why, the Queen, I under- stand, appropriates more than seven times that sum an- nually to her stables; and yet abe is lauded for giving to seven millions of her poor starving a this pitiful donation, Nevertheless, there is a noble libarality dis- played in England towards the sufferers of Ireland. The riends, or Quakers, have contriouted £20,000, or $100,- 000; and what is more, with their characteristic good sense and practical charity, they bave sent suitable per- sons to see that it is properly distributed. The Friends are Jaca one of th roalfost Teligious denominations in England; should the Episcopalians, Presbyterians, In- ndents, Baptists, Methodists, Unitarians, and other jects, contribute in proportion to their numbers and ; wealth, the sufferings of Ireland would materially if not entirely relieved. mmbled here, Mr. President, to or have left undone ; but to di to re! the unparalle! ‘e | that thousands, and even millions of our fellow men are | in a state of starvation, and many of them dying hourly for the want of a little food to preserve them in exist: | ence. This isa fact which no one will deny. Letters | from gentlemen with whom many of us are acquainted, | describe their condition as truly appalling, and the mag- | nitude of the evil is calculated to paralyze the efforts of the most benevolent minds. We are ready to say, what | can we do; when so much is required to be done? In their distress, they appeal, not merely to our liberality, but toour bowels of compenien, that, if we have but one loaf, we would share with our starving brother.

My object in rising, esident, was not to ap- = to the liberality of tb! ing, or to the citizens of | ww York, in bi if fering ireland, because thi has been done ina power of eloquence avd Vagd which I lay no claim ; but my object isto direct tention of the donors to the manner in which their charity should be distributed ‘Io accomplish tne dessired ob. fect, it should be faithfully, impartially and judiciousl: distributed among the sufferers, without regard to poll tics or religion ; and to accomplish this, I know of no better examble to follow than that which has been set us by the Society of Friends.

Before iaking the question, Cuauu»s Kina, Esq, was loudly celled for, and next addressed the meeting. He | exhorted those present to come forward, and without dis. | tinction of sect or party toaid in the cause of suffering humanity. They would pot only be contributing to the happiness of otaers, but the very cause of charity which they had met to advance, would promote the joterests of their own trade. (Applause.) The distresses of the #fflicted poor of [reland were truly heartrending and in the it of their sfilictions, the poor exhibited traits ig which were highly creditable to them. Lord Carew had stated, that in the county of Meath poor had im their miseries att: ed ‘gage train which was loaded with provisions, ch poer creature after filling his bag was d, and said to the cartmen, ‘We beg of you to proceed, there are others more wretched than we are.

(Applause) He was proud to suy | that New York had ly subscribed over $20,000.— (Loud cheering) And no matter whether the subsc tions be in one or two or ten shillings, would save thousands and thousands of famishing poor; and charity ‘* blesseth him that gives, aod him that re- ceives.” (Applause) Mr. K., alvor further briefly ex- the meeting to liberally contribute in the cause ot bary, concluded.

Dunham aod Michael Trapple, jr. on 8 warrant issued by Justice Drinker, wherein they stand charged with conspiring together to ‘credit. Dunham. It appears that Dunham kept a boot and tore, No. 194 Sixth Avenue, and his stock of goods estimated at about $800; but he was largely in- to Bi also Mr. Knapp and Mr. his notes for goods purchared. Dunham’s salesman, Walter Roe, meade an effida vit at the police office, fe thet his weiere echam) stated to ter to sign over his property, to defraud his crodi- tors; and on last Thorsday morn‘ng he made a sham sale ofthe property to his brother-in-law, Michael Trapple, jr ,of Brooklyn; he also made a sham deliveryjend a sham contract, by which Dunham was to act as an agent for Trapple in the business. Trapple then left the premises, not having been before to the store, nor has he been that arrangement. Dunham then told Roe that ry thing was fixed. and none of his creditors could get anything. Upon this statement, of facts, the magi strate issued 4 warrant, the parties were both held to bail in $800, to ans it court.

Stealing Hove Pipe—An old small potato thief, called Bill Broom, was ‘‘ pulled” yesterday by a policeman of the 10th ward, on a charge ef stealing a lot of hose pipe belonging to engine No. 41, and was caught in the act of attempting to sell the same to Edward Morgan, No. 244 Stanton street; likewise to John Clastator, residing at 41 Attorney street.
