+ in Polgnd. THE NEW YORK HERAL are . NO. 5173. Invailon of the Danubian Provinces by Russia. The Paris papers are much occupied with what call the invasion of the Danubian provinces ussia. Some of them speculate on the inva- ‘sion of aeeennce as a settled point, and ring -the alarm bell. e select an article from the Siecle on this subject, as tak: and moderate view of Nicholas. ing the most rational of the designs of the Emperor The subject is truly ene of great in- terest. The Siecle says :— Russia, profiting by the embarrassed state of Europe, and the irremediabie weakness of the Porte, is about to take beayia possession of the Danubian provinces, which are on the road to Constantinople. We cannot, however, ree in this movement the signal of a general conflagration. By the treaties of Jassy and Adrian- ople, the Czar had the right of intervening in those Provinces for the preservation of order. Europe did not protest against thore trentics, because in 1812 Germany and England were of opinion that it w: most advantageous te turn their attention to ch the triumphant progress of Napoleon, and in 1828, be- cause England feared. by placing herself in opposition to Russia. she would bring about an alliance between ‘the Czar and the Bourbons of the elder branch, in the pop of carrying back the frontiers of France to the left bank of the Khine, Those treaties. were conse- quently recogniard, and, above all, as they were more advanta; ‘than otherwise to’the Danubian pro- vinges, thelr being carried into execution could not be made a casus belli against Russia, as long as that ‘power was on a friendly footing with Constantinople. The consent given by Turkey to the entrance of Russian troops into those provinces, is not of a nature | to disarm the watchfulness of France and of Ger- | ek. No one is ignorant that Turkey is in the hi of @ government whose weakness ‘or passi will lead to sn inevitable cat Since the | death of Selim ill., the Ottoman. ers, without | ex lon, have always an inclination to place | their confidence in R nd in England, the only } two powers who may one i ¢ come to an understand- fog as to the partition of Turkey, the one taking Constantinople, and the other Egypt and Syria. atever counsels may have been given to them, the statesmen of Turkey have always lent an ear to those who flattered their national vanity at the expense of the interests of Turkey This fatality tends to com- icato the question raised by the intervention of the ussians inthe Danubian provinces, and may, at some distant period, light up a territorial war in Europe. The ambitious projects of England and of Russle may, however, find an obstacle in the govern- mentai unity which has been brought about in Ger- many. It is impossible that Germany. haying at her head an Austrian prince, could fail to comprehend that her interests would be compromised by allowing Ruseia to gain possession of the lower Danube. ‘The Danube is to Germany the road to the East; she holds the head of it, and she will not deliver up its ap- proaches to an enemy. for as such must Russia be re- garded by her. Whatever, then, may bo the audacity of Russia, she will not dare to provoke at the same time Germany and France, for in this point of view their interests are similar. The question, "then, in our opinion, is to know whether Franc any may Ie agreed in calling the Danubian provinces into an independent existence. The affirmative does mot ar to us doubtful ; the dangers which Russia ur are so evident that she will quick) apply weaken an influence, the excess of whicl would cause the destruction of hopes she has so long and dearly cherished. Those who see a prospect of a speedy war because the Czar is about to occupy Moldo- Wallachia, forget, in our opinion, that the Caar | ean no longer reckon on the false terrora of Germany. ‘There are, doubtless, princes on the other side of the | Rhine, who, to save some of their historical rights, will psce themgel ves at the mercy of the Emperor Nicho- ; but, behind those governments, there is a people amounting to forty miliions. speaking in the voice of ‘one member of the National Assembly, when. on the th of this month, on the system of the defence of the empire being brought forward, M. Wierner raid ‘We have a right to count on Hungary, and a war with France is not to be feared; far from it, everything juduces us to accept an alliance offered by France, for France and Germany united may defy the whole world, either in peace or in war.” ‘The following account of the Russian army sta- tioned on the frontiers, communicated by an individual from Warsaw, intimately acquainted with some of the princi al staff officers of the Im- perial army, will be read with interest :— ‘The forces of the Russian Empire, at present available, consist of 600,600 men. The varlous an- nouncements put forth that Kussia has not a suffi- cient stock of war materials are groundless. Uniforms, arms, horses, aud harness are all in excellent order, and provisions abound ‘The maintenance of the troops costs comparatively little, andjthe treasury of the emperor, as is well known, is far from being empty. The preparations throughout the whole empire are carried on, with great energy; yet it is not true that 300,000 men” aro ready to act In the who.e of Russian Poland there are corps, cach consisting of 50,000 men, It is truethat Warsaw is strongly. occupied, but there ate only 12,000 men in garrison. Towards the frontiers of Silesia only one battalion has been moved forward, and ono. small corps towards the frontiers of Cracow. Onthe side of the Grand Duchy of Posen along the whole extent of the frontier, there are only 25,000 men posted. This, therefore, is the formidable power of which co much has been said. True, however, it is that | only two army fresh troops are daily rent forward as reinforcements, | s0 that by the end of Septembe , there will bea force ‘of 300,000 men at least ready for any operations in the kingdom of Poland. Only a single spark is required to awaken the whole of the population of Poland ; but at the present moment all remains as quiet as the grave, | Doth in that country and in Gallicia, as any insurrec- tion would be hopeless, ‘The motive ofthe Emperor in cullecting the army in such force is a secret to the highest military authorities. There does not appear any object for the concentration of this enormous force, beyond the fear of an invasion of German revolu- tionary principles. But, even if this arm gen were intended for any offensive operations, there Is not so much to fearfrom its power as is supposed : for 100,000 at least must remain within the kingdom ; jcasus asmany more to watch the © ber to pire | against Tur ey n equal portion to remain in the interior of itu so that only a dis- posable force of 200,000 men would remain forany in- Wasion, if contemplated This is certainly s formida- dle army, but it could hardly overpower any part of Germany.” Paris In a State of Siege. THE NATIONAL FRENCH ASSEMBLY | cessary to consult the Assembly on the 76 | abolition bas revived | bly to remember thatthe government has only acted of 600,000 | imilar num- | assent) When the government should be armel aguinst the hostility of a part of the press, with cer- tuin bills, which should beiore long be brought before the ry, overnment would not hesitate, even whilst maint: mane the state of siege, to restore to the press the utmost liberty. (Hear, hear ) M. Banaup Laniniere wished to direct the attention of the Assembly to the present condition«f the press, relative to the caution-momey. A decree of the pro- visional government had abrogated the law of 1835, But, in the Moniteur of that morning, there had been ublished another decree, declaring that, though the | laws of September were no longer in force, still the ad must consider itself under the jurisdiction of the passed in December, 1830, which required the cau- tion-money to be deposited. He wished to know, as |. the bill of 1885 was abrogated, what was the object of | placing the press under th» provisions of 1820, when ae bad been annulled by the biil of 1835. | _ The Presipent or tur Counes.—I have said that, | when we shall be sufficiently armed against the abuses | of the press, we aball restore to it all its liberty. The | Parisian press, however, is not that which appears to | us the most dangerous st presont ; it isthe depazt- | mental press. which publishes facts, and draws infer- ences from them without their meeting with any con- tradiction, This has rendered it necessary for us to direct cur attention to the means of defence @ such a state of things, It has not appeared to me ne- e to be impored on the press during the continuance of the state of siege ; nor even on the temporary re-establish- ment of the caution-money, for, in fact, the govern- ment has not occupied itself with that question. Never- theless, it cannot remain without defence in the pre- sence of danger. The provisional government abolished the laws of September, and it appearsto us that that law of 1880 I beg the Assem- in presence of an absolute necessity, which will every Guy lose its rigor, and restore, as soon as circumstances will permit ; for the press, as for every thing else, all thore liberties of which we are, (you and myself), the firmest guardians. (Loud approbation.) The Assenibly rose at seven o'clock. THE OPINION oF M. DE LAMARTINE. The Bien Public (Lamartine organ) has the fol- lowing on the state of the siege :— “Paris is still in a state of siege, and according to the recent declaration of General Cavaignac in the tribune of the National Assembly, it will be so for a long time to come. We could feel that after a commo- tion so violent as that of the events of June. it was ne- ry to concentrate power, to arm the republic, to protect it after its victory, and to make it an invinci- ble rampart ef bayonets and swords. We were conse- quently not afraid to see the government transformed nto a camp, for we kneW that the camp was an asylum for liberty. But we never thought, and no ene ever could think, that the state of siege, voted amidst the roar of the fusillade, at an hour at which blood was flowing, would be indefinitely prolon, ‘The excep- tional régime is to last as long as the danger of the country. It is an eclipse of liberty. Once the danger yanithed. liberty will resume its righte, and tho dic- tatorship will have to stand respectfully aside to ren- der to the republic the independence and grandeur of its sovereignty. We desire to exaggerate nothing. We take pleasure in recognising the toleration and mode~ ration which General Cavaignac brings to the practice of the dictatorial régime confided to him by the Na- tional Asrem| janks to his liberal sentiments, the state of siege has never been a tyranny, and it now cecasions scarcely any trouble at all to the inha- bitants at large. But it does not the less exist as a sort of menace. It is a sword at present in the sheath, Nothing could prevent its being drawn, and the point placed on the heart of the republic. We know that nothing of the kind necd be feared; but, however great may be the security with which the character and opinions of General Cavaignac inspire us, we say that the best guarantee is that of institutions.— In revolutionary times men pass away quickly; and the government may fall into hands less pure, less libe- ral, than those of the present chief of the government. France must not become aceustomed to dictatorship, and an ambitious man must not find her flexible, and dsciplined for despotism; monarchies require only courtiers, but republics only live the life of liberty. ‘The indefinite prolongation of the state of siege would have another inconvenience—that of keeping up dis- quietude in the midst of thecountry. We always per- ceive tho fear of a battle in this organization of the government ona war footing. Each day appears the eve of an émeute. Men of order believe themselves threatened—men of disorder believe themselves dread- ed. Itresults that confidence cannot retura ina com- plete manner. We tremble under the protection of yoncts, It isasort of bivousc between two tcom- Daigle is not peace which arises from the harmony of Interests, the seourity of the publfe mind, the ac- tivity of labor, the welfare of the masses, the emula- tion of patriotism. Liberty, regulated and placed relation with the wants of the country, the progress of morals, the spirit of democracy—that {s what France wants! The state of siege was salvation of the | Fepublio during the struggie—it would be a danger du- ring peace. The republic cannot live in p; itis the government of the nation, and the nation is at once its heart and its arm,‘its rampsrt and its army.” (From Galignani’s Messenger, July 10.] One ot the usual, and as has been hitherto con- sidered inevitable, consequences of a state of siege, viz:—the total suppression of the liberty of the press, cannot be said to exist at this moment. To read the articles in the ultra republican journals, from the Reformé to the Representant du Peuple, one would scarcely believe that any fetters has been put on public liberty. | M.de Lamartine on the Liberty of the Press. |. The Bien Public, which is generally regarded as i he organ of M. de Lamartine, says, on the | 12thu ‘The liberty of the press, like all liberties, would be lost by its excesfes. We honor it too much in its mis- sion not to desire that it may be placed, by laws at once | wise and liberal, in conditions of independence and dignity. Independence is not the impunity of licen- | tiousness ; it is the right to say all that conscience and reason authorize to be said. Dignity is not the privi- lege of insolence—it is the respect of oneself, the re- | sponsibility of one’s acts and words seriously accepted in presence of opinion and of thelaw. What should | be for the press, the form and limit of this responsibi- lity? Itis here that the principle of the deposit of the | caution money appears. In the state of our political manners, we hesitate not to recognize that this prin- ciple eek but itmust not beexaggerated. The that was too much. SITTING OF JULY 7. Everything was perfectly tranquil about the Assem- bly. The troops remain strongly posted in the garden and court-yards. Two pieces of cannon still face the bridge.

As to the proposition demanding a credit for the exe- cution ot works at Cherburg, no doubt that important seaport would not be omitted in a general bill, whieh it ‘was intended to bring forward.

Im the 12th bureau, the question of a single Chamber was discussed at length, and finally approved of. M. Detours, in reference tothe mode of electing the President. thought that the right of nominating ought to rest with the National Assom- bly ; whilst M, de Remusat supported the system of universal suffrage, as recommended by the committee : this latter system prevailed, New Schemes of Conquest and Annexation of Territory, (From the National Intelligencer, sty 7 every one must have foreseen the dan- ger to be apprehended from the idle swords and evil examples which are the residnary conse- quences of the Texan-Mexican war, the public is not, we believe, aware how near at hand 1s the moment when those swords are to find employ- ment ; and the example offfirst seizing territories of Mexico by an armed force, and then“ annex- ae them to the United States, is to be exactly followed out. 2 Near at hand, did we say? The moment has already arrived !_ We give notice of 1t to Congress, who are kept in ignorance of it, and to the people of the United States, whe are not dreaming of it, except the few, very few, we trust, in proportion to the whole, who are in the secret of this conspi- Tacy bo rear the peace, the honor, and te reputa- tion of our country—not to speak of possible con- sequences more appalling than the loss of all these. which have been already sufficiently compromised by the wilful and wanton national war, just brought to a close, with results any thing but aus- picious to the public weal. Without further preface, we place before our readers, in the precise language of our authority, information upon which we place entire reliance : “The arrangements are nearly completed for the contemplated new republic, to consist of the Mexican provinces on the Rio Grande, with San Luis as the capital, and Tampico and Matamouos as the seaports, General Shields is at the head of the movement, and ie Hoy prebealy at San Luis, in general council, to make the final arrangements.

Our government [the Executive] were consulted; but they said that they would neither aid nor oppose it. ‘They will aid it, not- withstanding their declaration. ‘They can leave arms, ammunition, &c.. at Tampico and on the Rio Grande, and let the invading force take them.

We have only taken the first draught of the bitter cup, to the extent of the loss of twenty thousand lives and the expenditure of two hundred millions of dollars. Would to God that that were all that the affair is to cost us! It is, however, only the beginning. This new republic is to be the seaond act in the drama; but which God in his mercy defeat !”? Our own warnings and protestations against the combination of speculators and politicians to bring Texas into the Umon, and against the rapacious purposes of the authors of the late war with Mexi- co, proved unavailing. Onward they marched to the completion of their designs, trampling down August 1.] way. May this warning not be disregarded by either Congress or the people, but means be taken effectually to put a stop to this projected violation of our national faith, this scheme of national dishonor ! ‘What! after a ruthless invasion, a bloody con- quest, a prescription of the terms upon which we would renew relations of peace with Mexico, will this nation, before yet three moons have filled their horns since peace hasbeen sworn between us, con- nive at expeditions from the United States to in- vade the remaining territories of Mexico, with | arms of the Unsted States m their hands ?

It appeared that plaintiff, in 1843, lodged the stock, as a collateral security for notes dis- counted by the defendants. giving to the latter an op- tion to tell the stock within or at the end of a week, if the notes were not redeemed. ‘The plaintiff alleges the stock was not sold within the time limited: by the first agreement ; and that afterwards a new arrange- ment was entered into between the parties, which en- titied the plaintiff to mctice before the stock was sold. The stock was afterwards sold, without notice ; and the plaintiff now seeks to recover the value of it, at the bighest price between the day of conversion and | the bringing of the suit. ‘The defendants eet up three defences : First. that the agreement by which the stock was deposited was equivalent to a mort- Gage ; and, therefore, they were not bound to give notice of sale. Secondly, that there was an absolute | sale of it. And thirdly, if these two defences fail, that the value of the stock is to be calculated at the price at which it was sold on the day of conversion. It would seem that the main question is. as to the rule by which the value of the stock is to be ascertained. | Judgment reserved. | Marine Court, August 3,—Before Judge Smyth.— | Lockwood vs. Isaacs.—This was an action for work and | labor.

The caution money of one hundred thousand francs did not prevent newspapers from being started under the reign of Louis Philippe; under the republic, which 80 magnificently incre: the influence of the press, an idea really useful and generous will not die for want of money.

Liberty of the press, guarantied by laws which repress the excesses of it, without over restraining its rights—that is what the interest of the republic demands! Thus organized, thus protected by the law, and covered by its own re- sponsibility, the press will escape artitrary treatment, suspensions, and all the preventive measures which in Case or H. J.

In August last, not long before the failure of the firm, the defendant called upon several of the houses who appear rgainst him, and exhibited a written statement to the following effect : debts due, which he considered good, $85,000; doubtful, $10.00, and a stock in trade which cost 35,000; that the firm owed $85,000, but that the ordi- nary contingencies of trade could not reduce the pro- perty of the firm below $25,000; that they sold goods only to New England traders, and that they never gave credit to any one individual for a greater sum ordinary times and regular sitvations, would be a mon- strous abuse and a reminiscence of the worst days of despoticm. The press has been the arm of democracy —it ought, hencetorth, to be its shield and its voice. After having joverthrown thrones, it remains to it to conciliate jes, to unite mations.

The friends of Ireland in New York, consisting of all the associate repeal bodies and citizens ge- nerally, without distinction of party, assembled in mass meeting last evening, in Vauxhall Garden, for the purpose of taking measures to sustain the people of Ireland, through the crisis in which she will shortly be engaged, in the struggle for free- dom.

On taking the chair, Mr. Exmmerr said that the presence of such a numerous assemblage, and the envbusiasm with which it had convened, was full compensation to him for the uneasiness, the trouble, and the difficulty with which he managed to get to the Place of mecting—being as he as:ured them, fitter to bein bed than attending a public mecting. He felt bound to say this, because he was not present at the last meeting, which he could not possibly attend, and his absence, therefore, having called forth marks, it was stated as he zeason for his abs that he was unwell. He would confirm the truth of that. He was really unwell at the time cf that meeting, and was yet indispored; but if he hud but one leg he would not fail to be present at a mectirg called for the purposes for which this has been convened, He must be excu- sed from making a speech this evening, for hw would assure the mecting, that it was with dificulty he could stand up to transact the business, which came within his duty as chairman He woald, however, take great pleasure in making known to the audience that the meeting was convened for' the purpose of a fraterniza- tion of all parties of Irishmen tm this city. (A Voice— “Three cheers for that.”’ “Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah.) It is not necessary to go into details at present. You all know, said Mr Emmett,that wa have been agitated for some time b:; with matters not of mugh impor- tance of themselves, but which. if they bad not been brought to's proper, understanding, inust havo im- peded the object which all of them had in view, (Ap- plause.) He was happy to say, thot the termg of an arrangements, satisfactory to all partivr. had been entered into that day—an arrangement by which, they might take his word, were all one body of brothers in this matter, (Applaute.) And it i#proposed that a meeting shall be held on Monday evening next, for the purpose of celebrating this nization. and | carrying out the objects in view. (Applause.) At that time all the details and the termo-of this frater- nization shall be given at full. length. For the present, he was sure there was no man present who would not take his word that there is not a single clement of discord among the friends of Ireland. (Tremendous ap- plaure.) He need not tell the meeting what the object tor which they were convened this evening was. [t was not tomake speeches. It was too iate to do this, ‘Too much time has already been wasted, that might have been occupied more profitably, than-in the mere ure of words, orin muking addresses. Thy objeet of the present meeting was to do something in the way of aiding Ireland, and there is but one way. of doing that. and that is by furnishing pecuniary aid to her in her present crisis. (App'ause.) We, in the city of New York, are the firet to hear the cry of agony from our native country, and we are the first thut should respond to it. It is from usin New York-that the re- sponce should first come—that the assistance, the sym- pathy, the comfort, the subscriptions should emanate. (Applause.) We aro the universal point of centraliaa- tion for all the friends of Ireland in the United States. Let us not be behind hand in our efforts. Let there be as much rivalry as possible. Let us receive all pos- sible aid from distant parts of the country, but ot the same time, let the friends of Ireland in New York, be foremost in their efforts. (Applause.) Let us prove that we are not neglectful of our duty. Late- ly, in the cit; Apr a meeting was held, of the triends of Ireland, at which the sum of one thousand dollars was collected, which was transmitted to, and duly received by the Irish provisional committee of New York. (Applause.) And at the same time that that handsome sum was remitted, they told us that it was but a tithe of what they will do whencalled upon —that that sum was a mere drop in the lacket. Now, gentlemen. said Mr. E., it gives mo great pl ture to tell you this. lam for giving honor whereve: honcr is due, and it pleasesme to say that. our coun- trymen of Albony, and I don’t wish to disparage others who took part in that movement who were not Irishmen, for many of them, | am proud to say, were Americans. but I say we ought to mark that act of lib- érality from that iown. If Albany has sent us one thousand dollars collected at one meeting, what, I ask you, ought to be done here in New York, where there fre ten times as many Irishmen ? ly we ought to do something equally as handsome in proportion to our numbers. sary to wake any appeal to you on this subject. You have feelings of Irishmen, and you are sensible of what ia due to Irishmen. Our own knowledge of what Ire- Ibnd is suffering under—owr own recollections of Ire- | land~-our own feelings fer the land of our birth, are the best incentives that can be brought before us.— You all know what was done for Ireland during the raging of the famine by America. Why, the nation wus aroused from one extremity to the other, and an amonnt cf money in contributions was sent them for the relief of the famishing and starving, of which the history of the world does not sfford a parallel. But that was merely relief for Ireland while she was suffer- ing froma famine. How is it now? The cause that state of things may lead to @ repetition of neation.) The axe must be laid at the root of evil. (Applause.) ‘The cause of that evil must be removed, (Chocrs.) At this moment that cause exists as vigorously as ever. Tho absence of any equitable tenant right—the process of ejectment—and he would mention one singleinstanoe of the effect of this evii.that will satisfy you of the extent to which it prevails. In one rounty alone, recently six hundred persons have been. ejected from their homes and thrown on the world,and if this cecurs in but one county, how much of it is there throughout Ireland? ‘This is but one instance of the mirgovernment of Ireland. But we need not ge into details—it is enough for us to know that a struggle to remove those evils is impending, that the peopte are endeavoring to get rid of those incubi; and, in order to enable them to do so successfully, it is necessary for us toaid them. Trusting that I have said enough, said Mr. Emmett. I am satisfied that you willrespond to the call by liberal ecllections, even’ on this occasion this evening Mr. Emmett then sat down. amid much cheeringand | applause, but rore immediately again and informed the aeeting that he had been told that the John Mitchell Club was in attendance—(applause)—and he would invite them to step forward and take their places on the platform. (Applause.) The members accordingly did as desired, and Mr. Jonn O'Rovrxe, on behalf of the Club, said that the meeting was informed that the John Mitchell Club | Was present. ‘That body, he said, was a military one, and the young men composing it are engaged in pre- paring themselves with the necessary information to be of service in any cxpacity in which they may be en- gaged. The majority of those composing it do not pos- sess long purses, but they have sound hearts and strong arms; and those arms are ready, and their hearts’ blood is at the call of their country: (Applause ) One of the provisional committee gave a statement of what had been done in the cause since the last meeting. We have, he said, received information di- ect from Ireland, and have teen brought into direct communication with partics there. We have become convinced that the most prompt action is necessary ; if we want to do something for Ireland, not a day is to be lost. (Sensation.) Impressed with this trath, the provisional committee engaged in the undertak- ing of collecting moncy, for the purpose of carryin out the objects which we have in view, have presente the foliowing list of subscriptions received, which he | would read :— | Robert Emmett, $500; J. Ingoldsby, | $500 5H. Greeley, $5004R. Hogan, $600; P. A. Keane, $200; | C.M. Connolly, $500; John J. Healy, $100 ; T. Don: | nelly, $600; a@ friend, $500; W. McArthur. $200; Jobn T. Doyle, $50 ; J.

Roach, $25 ; Martin Walters, The yesriaitnal committee transmitted the sum of twenty-five hundred dollars, yesterday, to Ireland, which was the amount for which they were called upon; and the rest of the funds in their hands shall be duly appropriated. Now, said he, you will per- ceive, from the readiness which these genilemen have exhibited, that something must be done for Ireland, and the time has come when every man must do all he means to do for Ireland. (Applause.) He as- sured them that there were but a few days,more within which to act ; and not a moment is to ost by them in giving what they mean to give towards the libera- tion ‘of Ireland, ‘This was a business meeting | 6 meeting for carrying out those objects. The people of Ireland call upon us to do at once what we intend to do; and he hoped that all who felt disposed, would come forth and give his mite this evenin; Mr. Waite then moved that a committee of three be ree! ited to take the names and addresges of those parties in the room who were willing to subscribe, but who might not have any money with them, which was unanimously carried Dr, Hogan moved that a committee of the same number be appointed to go for the same purpose, among the thousands outside of the building who were unable to obtain admission; which was also passed. Mesers. Eugene Casserley, J. J, Doyle, and Andrew Fallon. were then nominated as the inside committes; and Mesers, Robert Hogan. Jas. Malone, and J. P. bb the committee to take up the collection out of joors, A considerable time was now occupied in receiving the money, and taking the names and addresses of those who had como unprepared. It was astomishing to ree the enthusiasm with which the dollars were handed in. Nuzmbers were upable tu control their emotion, and manifested by curses loud and deep against the Britivh governinent, the {ntensity of the feelings which burned within them. One man, a me- cbhanic, declared as he banded tn his dollar that on the intelligence of Ure firet blow being eirvek. he would cordially give $100, aud gave bis name aod addres: Re would givé them more then, he ewid, but be wishe to see if the aleh people had revily ecme te the com- | every other country in the world; and the more hu- | | | | clusion that the time to strike had arrived. After the lapse of a short time, Mr. Horace Gueerey, in compliance with a call nade upon him, then rose to addross the meeting amid loud cheers. He seid, that for the last year or two, all thore who bad manifested sympathy, or taken part ia meetings for the aid of Ireland, had been tauntingly asked, why they wero always talking and never acting —why they were continually geting money from the poor and simple and never applying it to any usefal purpore. Now, he hoped, the ‘proceedings of that evening would be a fitting reply to these taunts, (Cheers) He earnestly hoped that a sum of not less than one million of dollars would be subscribed in this country for the purpose of enabling the Irish to achieve their independence, (Cheers) It was necessary, also, that no time should be lost in doing so. lie | tructed that two weeks would not elapse before this sum would be received, Some might ask what they Intended to do with this money. For his part. be be- lieved they had nothing to do with its application. Tho Irich people, or their representatives, were the proper parties to have the disposal ¢f it, and to them wonid be committed that responsibility. (Loud cheers.) Let them call it patriotic scrip, or loan, or whatever else they pleased, he trusted that a grand effort would now be made to render assistance to Ireland, and that | no men who had the means would stand aloof feom'the struggle; but if he be net himself able to join init, that he will do alt he can to enable others. © (Cheers,) The Irish people were now about to follow the ex- ample of France, Italy, Sicily, Germany, and two- thirds of Enrope, and ‘they ‘deserved the sympathy und assistance of all the nations in the world. He trusted they would be abla, even yet, to procure all they wanted without bloodshed. Bat after the ovcur- | renees which Have lately taken place, he confessed he had but faint hopes that this would’ be the case. If, however, England should again take an aggressive po- sition, and resorting to the aword. seek to govern by the right of conquest, to the issue of the sword it must | come. In such an event, if the Irish people rose in | their strength. as in the time of the volunteers of '82, | he believed that all they wanted would be conceded to them, and vo bloodshed would take place. If one mil- lion of Irishmen stocd up on their own éoil, and de- manded their independence, he believed’ the lib- erty of Izeland ¥cald be accomplished, without a Blow being struck. (Cheers.) What the Ameri- cans wished to say was, that Ireland should not be trampled down because she might be in want of the sinews of war, If, therefore. screnuous exertions were now made, he believed that the Irish people would be disanthralled and liberated before the Ist of January next. (Loud cheers.) That was his belief. ‘Their cause was a good one, and had the sympathies of every republican and every friend of humanity throughout the werld. (Cheers.) The more strongly the people of Ireland now stood up for their rights, the more ald would they receive from this county and mane would be the contest, and the less blood would be spilt. (Cheers,) It was incumbent on them all, there- fore, to pull together in this cause. ‘There was not one at that meeting who bad not a friend in some part of the country; let that friend be written to without delay. and be asked forthe amount he was willing to give for aiding the Irish struggle (Cheers) [He was much struck by what he had heard from a man whom he raw ashe entered the room; this man was eagerly enquiring for the treasurer in order to hand him his subscription; and observed, thet he had from two to three hundred men under him on a railroad, at pre- rent constructing in the State, and that every man of them was willing to subseribe one month’s pay for Ireland, if the struggle was to take place. (Cheers ) The same epirit he believed pervaded the whole country, and if every one did notwish to give a month's pay, he was sure that no one would object to give a week's (Cheers.) If this plan were generally carried out, no oratory would be required—the thing would be done. Every exertion must now be made. Let any one who has a friend in Cincinnati, Louisvitle, Chieugo, or any where else, write to him forthwith for his first’ in ment, (Cheers) Now was the time for their energy and perseverance; and ho trusted the subscription would be again proceeded: with, and that every one would give with liberality, (Loud oheers ) Collections were again received, aud the money came pouring in like hail. After a brief interval, Grex. WaLLnRincs: was loudly ealled upon, and on presenting himeelf, waé received with loud cheers.

He said that, on wriving in the month of May last at his own home in Galway, he was astonished to find such a diminu- tionin the number of his acquaintances. and to see those who had been respectable persons before he left his home, obliged to go for their gallon of “ yallow” | meal to the workhouse or to the soup kitchen. “Hehad | only arrived im this country on the 18th of July last, in; | let the people hoist tireir tricolor fi e TWO CENTS. the felon flag of England wherever ft was planted; of ridding the world cf the nuirance; of restoring Ireland | to her place among the nationa, and of inscribing the | Unwritten epitaph of Robert Emmett.

(Tre- mendous cheering ) A call was made for the whole amount subscribed, when the President announced that the whole contri- butions amounted to nearly $7,000; when long and continued cheering followed, ‘Vhe meeting then adjourned’ with the utmost har- mony and good feeling, not the: slightest unpleasant- ness having occurred during the whole proceedings, the greatest enthusiasm prevailing. throughout every movement. S€COND MEETING. The vast crowds that had collected about nine o'clock soon jammed up every available place of accom- n, in the large hall, where the principal stand ted, and, accordingly, several were excluded, and many who had been among the: dense throng within. made their way to the opom air through the admirable exertions of the “ Irish Brigade,” who were actively on duty on the occasion and kept the avenues open. “A large platform was erected outside, in Vaux- hall Gardens, in the vicinity of the hall, and a few hearty cheers served as the signal for-a grand rally to the second meeting, which soon organized, On mo- tion of J. W. White, ki Honacr Guerrier, Keq , wasealledto the chair, and Mesers. P. Lynch and Andrew Clarke, were appointed Secretaries. On the platform were Messrs George Rogers, Charles Davies, and several active fclonds of the Irish cause. ‘There were general cries for Mr. Who came forward amid loud.and pro- longed applause. He suid—Fellow citizens, what can I do to contribute to your wishes? Your respected chairman, Mr. Greeley, has done much in the causo of popular freedom—doue much to crumble the despotic tyrannies of the old world, and to advance re- ublican freedom all over ‘the world. (Cheers.) ow is the time for us to act, (Cheers) We have now seen that the British government, by its bloated tyrar ny have destroyed the trial by jury in the face of God and of the conutry. (Groans for the British government.) We have seen now that they have destroyed that instrument trial, by jury, which is every thing that constitues human fiberty.— (Cheers.) They have, by this mock trial by jury, im- prisoned Jreland’s patriots; and shaved their heada and manacled their limbs, (Cries of “ shame, shame,” groans and hisses.) Because they loved the’ Goddess of Liberty; I love the Goddea of Liberty; 1 love her in my soul, and I would kiss cher to death. (Choers.) Andbf the people of Ireland appreciated her charms as much as the people of Asnerica, they would place a silken benuer fitatiog in the bieeze with the cagle of liberty proudly perched on it; and would march un- der that flag, which would, proudly wave over them as the signal for victory ar for death, (Tromendous cheering.) ‘The time has arrived when such must be her course, when patience has ceased to be a virtue, and when the Irirh peoplo are called upon by the na- tions of the earth to display their tri-color of green, orange and blue, (Tremendous cheering, and vo- ciferous applause.) Now is the time for the pecple of Ireland to give up their bickering about uther and Calvin aad Henry VIII. (Cheers.) Yes, , (cheering) and swear by the god of battles that they will measure swords with that tyrannical power that murdered 80 many victims among the people of ireland. (Cries of “give them the pike.”) The time and the occasion have arrived, my friends, when we are oalled upon to act — ‘The time for speeches has passed, We have all united and he was willing to go back again without deiay, to give his assistance for his country’s freedom. Mr. T. O'Connen, Esq., being repeatedly called for, Fellow citizens, 1 appear bofore you to- night as I never did before. I now come before you rose and said: with pleasure, because now there has been a fraterni- zation of Irishmen. I did not come here to spea! Jand; if it would, I should have spoken her free long ago. We have talked of arms and blood, but now we want money, and money we must have, whieh we can send to ou: brethren, and England shall not know what we are doing. Now is the time for every man to | thzow in his mite, that the cause of the freedom of Ire- Jand may press forward. There is now no barrier. The | humble and the rich meet together, which will be more | feared by England than all the gold that could be heaped up for Ireland. A union of the Irishmen is what bas long been desired; and now that glorious ob- ject is consummated, the result of which will be, there will be no backwardness on the part of the friends of our oppressed country to give liberally. This, my fel- low citizens, is no time for speaking; the call is to i mediate action. Theze are some of the presses of this country, which have ae of the discontent which | has heretofore existed in different parties of the friends of Ireland, but they will no more have cause to speak of th ‘We are inone bond of brotherhood. My countrymen, for two years past, you have hoard the cries of your mothers and sisters coming aeross the | Atlantic, while pestilence and famine have taken bold strides across our unhappy country. You have seen, } in days by-gone, the immense herd sof eattle driven over your native hills; the immense flocks of sheep leaving your country, and you could not procure @ morsel to eat. ‘They were diiven from you, to be feast- ed upon by the English nobility. Help now, and Ire- Jand will no more call upon you. You almost daily see the great mass of almost living death landing upon our shores; those who have boen driven from their own homes, because they could not obtain that upon which to support nature. That too will cease, and grateful Ireland will repay you with the rich productions of her | soil and ort; and will grow up great men to stand at the helin of state. We are now in one bond of union, as I before said; in that union let us go on, and though the place is warm, and my friend wishes to send the Eng- lish aristocrats to a warm climate, | would rather that the great object should be achieved without blood; but | if the oppressors of our country will not submit other- | wise, they must take the consequences. Come out on | Monday night, and let the news go by the steamer first leaving thereafter, to the people of Ireland, that we are doing more than we have ever done before. He sat | down amidst the deafening applause of the assembly Mr. Wittiam Rontnson was then called for, who very briefly stated some facts which he had t relative to the position of Canada, in th with a few remarks touching the’ present fairs im Ireland, and the necessity of p1 state of af- mpt action. He said:—My friends and fellow citizens—I have come here to-night, not for the purpose of speaking, but to and every man in.this city now, is. in favor of Ireland and freedom. (Cheering.)
