GiThe Cambria will be due at this port to-morrow, with one week’s later intelligence from Ireland, and other parts of Europe. We may, however, receive her news to-day. The advices from Ire- jand are looked for with the greatest anxiety. The Presidential Election. The tables we published in the Herald of the 7th inst., showing the party estimates of the re- spective fends of Gen. Cass and Gen. Taylor, with regard to the prospects of each for the Presi- dency, will probably attract the” attention of poli- ticans, who are thus enabled to see, at a glance, the aspect of the Presidential chess-board. Inthe estimates given by us,we haveof course only taken into consideration the yiews entertained by sensible and shrewd calculators of the democratic and whig parties ; disregarding the opinions and assertions of silly and hair-brained politicians of either side,'who claim, for their respective candi- dates, the votes of whatever State they happen to reside in. Thus we see “free soil’ demo- erates claiming a majority of the electoral votes ef the whole Union fer Van Buren, when the strong probabilities are that he cannot earry a single State or electoral vote; and some of the Cass editors claiming Massachu- setts, Vermont, Connecticut, New Jersey, Ma- ryland and Tennessee—while a few of the over zealous Taylor whigs pretend to claim Maine, Virginia, South Caiolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Illinois and Michigan. Such calculations are unworthy the notice of men of common obser- vation, and should be considered either as the views of sanguine or uninformed politicians, or those of editors and other employées of party in the various States, whose interest lies in making a show of fight, whether with hopes or not, as they expect rewards, either in the shape of money from politi- cal friends, or the spoils of office, if they should happen to be among the v.ctors. | The statements we have given show that eighty- four of the electoral votes of the Union are con- ceded to Cass and Butler by the whigs, and that one hundred and ten electoral votes are generally conceded to Taylor and Fillmore by the demc- eratic friends of Cass and Butler—leaving ninety- six electoral votes contested, or claimed by both ot the leading parties The following are the States thus contested, or what may be considered the battle ground at the ensuing Presidential election, viz. :— Electoral votes. + 26 Wisconsin. To elect neral Cass, sixty-two of the above votes are required, besides those conceded to him by the whigs viz., eighty-four, according to our table, while General Taylor requires thirty-six, only, of the votes of the contested States, in ad- dition to the one hundred end ten conceded to him by the democrats—one hundred and forty-six votes being a majority of those of all the electoral col- Jeges. To enable our readers to form their own cal- culations as to probabilities, we present the fol- lowing statement of the popular vote of the con- tested States, at the last Presidential election :— Polk, Clay. Pennsylvania. .... 61 203 North Carolina. . 43,232 484.049 482,542 07 Dew. maj. in six State Abolition vote in Ohio. - Pennsylvania... Indiana... 6. eee eee Total ‘ «18,294 iowa and Wisconsin have been admitted into the Upien sipce 1844. Iowa gave a democratie majority for members of Congress laet year (1847) of 820; and Wisconsin, at the recent State elec_ tion, showed a democratic majonty of over 5,000, But the “free soil’ question is popular in both of these States, and it is supposed will divert many democratic votes from Cass and Butler. We shall follow up these statements, by giving an impartial view of the present state of public opinion in the contested States, and the probable influence of the “free soil” question upon those of them which are situated north of Mason & Dixon’s line. It may be well to remark here, that in both the whig and democratic calculations, we have put down South Carolina for General Cass, although it is a matter of extreme doubt how the State may go. There is no evidence, at present, that it will vote for either Cass or Taylor, and we should not be surprised if the former course, adopted in 1882 and 1836, of throwing the electoral vote awey on some person not a candidate, wa? again repeated ; say on Mr. Calhoun, this time | | Navat.—The U. 8. sloop of war Albany, was at Laguayra on the 24th of July—all well.

Arvains in Ingrano.—The last steamer brough; If the contederates were ever sincere in bringing matters to an issue, the blow has been struck before now | In the Herald of Tuesday of last week, we antici. pated nearly al! that had happened up to the sailing of the steamer. We stated that the bill brought in by Lord John Russell would bring on the crisis ; that it would be in efiect a suspension of the writ of ahbeas corpus ; that the Lord Lieutenant would have the power under it of arresting every person—whether frend or enemy—and keeping him in prison until the act expired, and that the leaders of the clubs would be the first victims ; but it seems these gen- tlemen also anticipated what was to happen, and they very prudently, in our opinion, absqua. tulated ; for we cannot agree with the writers in the English papers, that they have shown the white feather—that they have been guilty of an act of cowardice—because they have not waited until the Lord Lieutenant put a grain of salt on their tals and landed them quietly, in Newgate. But be this asit may, according to the accounts inthe Ynglish papers the government are fully aware that Smith O’Brien, Meagher, and the other leaders, are at Carrick-on-Suir, sur. rounded by the peasantry of Tipperary.; Now, Carrick-on-Suir is the centre of a circle —the cireuit of which is fifty miles. Within, or on the line of this circle, at different points, namely, Clonmel, Waterford, Kilkenny, Cahir, and Cashel, —all military stations—there are from eight to ten regiments of the line, which might be marched from the several points on Carrick-on--uir at a few hours’ notice. With these facilities,and know- ing, as the goverment did, where these men were to be found, it is exceedingly strange that they would incur the expense and trouble of offering a reward of £500 for the apprehension of Mr. Smith O’Brien, and £300 for the arrest of each of the others. These facts, in connection with the tremendous preparations making by the British government, in lreland, to sustain it against some desperate medi- tated attack, or a protracted guerilla warfare, lead | : us to think that matters are not quite so smooth as the English papers would have us believe. It would not at all surprise us if the confederate chiefs, having, as it now seems, the uncontrolled command of the rural districts of [ipperary—the most disaffected of any in Ireland—organized a council there, and kept up a communication with the counties of Southmeath, Westmeath, on the northwest, with Kildare, Wicklow, and the Kings county on the southeast, and with Waterford and ‘Wextord on the south, nor if they raised an army of 100,000 men, divided into two divisions, and made a simultaneous attack on Dublin—one divi- sion, to be composed of the men of Meath, South and Westmeath, to attack the city on the north ; the other division, to be composed of the men of Kildare, Wicklow, Wexford, Xc., to attack it on the south, and that these attacks should be sup- ported by the clubs and the citizens. Should they adopt this plan, the Lord Lieutenant will be placed in a very akward positien; he will, to say the least of it, have hot work on his hands, and per- haps run tke risk of being,Burgoyned, into,the bar- gain. If the next steamer does not bring news of the capture of the confederates, we will conclude that some plan of this kind is contemplated. Tite Acapia’s Maits.—We have received a communication from the special agent of the Post Office Department, on the subject of the provokiag delay in the receipt of the Acadia’s mails. We are satisfied, from this and other evidence in our possession, that Cave Johnson is all right in this instance. We insert a portion of the statement of the agent, who it appears was on beard the Acadia. Dean S1x:—I notice a disposition, in some quarters; to censure the United States Post Office Department, on account of the unusual delay in forwarding to New York the foreign mails brought by the steamer Acadia. I feel it my duty to state that our department are en- tirely free from all blamejor responsibility in the matter. ‘A special express had been arranged by authority of the Postmaster General, to convey the mails to your city in case the steamer should arrive on Saturday night or Sunday; but although the Acadia came to anchor within ten miles of Boston, at an early hour on Sunday, her captain refused every opportunity to send the mails up to the city, till about five o'clock Monday morning. The regular mail line vie New Ha- ven, leaves Boston at seven o’clock, A.M., and thus lit- tle or no time was afforded to assort and stamp the let- ters at the Boston office, and prepare them for New York and the South. The writer of this wason board the Acadia during her detention, and is of theopinion that the mails might have been sent up to the city with perfect safety, at any time during the day, in which case the New York and Southern matter would have been promptly despatched by special express, under the jorder of the Postmaster General, at the expense of the Post Office Department. This fair and plain statement of facts which | throws the whole responsibility of the delay in for- warding the Acadia’s mails on the steamship company or their agents. According to the sys- | tem adopted by the Admiralty agent who has | charge of these mails, he deposits them in the American post offices, and takes a receipt for them. Then, ard not till _then have, our Post- | masters any control over them. It will be seen, therefore, that our post offices are not culpa. ble in the least for the vexatious delay, but, rather, are entitled to much praise, for the arrangements | that were made to send the mails by special ex. press. What was there to prevent the Admiralty agent from getting on board the Boston steamboat | that hailed the Acadia early on Sunday morning, | and taking the mails with him to the city ? Nothing that we can conceive; and if he is not aware of the ‘importance of despatch in such mat, | ters, we think his place ought to be filled by some person more competent to transact its duties. The incident connected with the delivery of newspapers from the Acadia to the steamboat, calls for some remarks irom the press. When the captain of the latter asked for some late news- papers, two or three were thrown to him, which, fortunately for the community throughout the whole country, got into the hands of the press in | Boston, and the agents of the New York press. | They contained intelligence of unfavorable har- vest weather in England, and a consequent rise in the prices of grain. Now, there are many men engaged in produce speculation in Boston, who would have willingly given a large sum for this piece of news; for, by telegraphing it to New York, and thence South, they woyld have been enabled to operate in the grain and corn markets a full day in advance of every one else, and have had an unfair advantage over all competitors This was one of the possibilities of the delay im | landing the mails. The passengers, it appears, were not allowed to leave the Acadia, and proceed to Boston, which was only ten miles distant, in the Nahant boat ; and the excuse given for this refusal, we learn, is, that there is a law of Congress forbidding it. such law exists. A law, however, is in force, for- bidding captains arriving here to allow passengers and their baggage to leave their vessels, for this ob- vious reason, that their baggage has to be inspect- ed regularly, by custom house officers, in order to prevent or detect smuggling ; but there is no pro- hibition against passengers landing without their | prisoner;” which was done accordingly, although | as quick as possible. | 1:19.

Annexed is the disposition of the contracts tor cleaning the streets :— The first district, consisting of the 1st, 2d and 3d wards, was taken by Thomas Butler... . . $10,600 Second district, 3d, 5th and 8th wards, John Maasai ais, ata apablaacnost sida ateniaines SA ‘Third district, th, 7th and 10th wards, Thomas Butler. .... Fourth district, DUBTO. ooo ce eesseeessceceeree Fifth district, 14th, 15th and 17th wards, by wards, viz :-— Fourteenth, Geo Gallagher 0 Fifteenth, Geo. Riley. . 13,190 Seventeenth, Geo, Schwartz ........ 3890 Sixth district, 9th, 16th and 18th wards, was also taken by wards, viz:— Ninth ward, Jas W. Bush. Sixteenth ward, John Brady... Eighteenth ward, Smith & Miilike: lith and 13th wards, Anthony taken Only sixty-seven thousand dollars for cleaning the entire city for one year! We say only, be- cause, compared with the cost of previous years, itisa small sum. We can see the difference in favor of the contract system in the following brief statement :— Amount expended in 1847. . « «$180,059 58 Lees for eale of manure. . . seeceees 20,687 69 Actual cost of cleaning streets last year.. . $150,371 89 Cost from Aug. 10, 1848, to Aug. 10, 1849, per comtract......eceeeee+ ee ++ 67,000 00 Amount saved by contract........... $88,281 89 ‘There is some hope, whilst saving this aniount in oneyear. But it is not the saving alone that we gain by this new system; we are to havea clean city also, Streets are not to be swept twice a year, but twice a week; and if the contraetor do not fulfil his part of the bargain, he forfeits his contract, his manure, his $0000, and something else. The Alderman and Assistant Alderman of each ward are to see that the work is well done, or the contractor gets no pay; and if the Alder- men neglect their duty, the people can take care of them, by a short walk to the ballot box in the next street. This contract system will work well. We have faith in it. The contractors are to have the $67,090, all the manure, the silver spoons that the servants may throw into the streets with their garbage, for keeping the city cleanfor one year. We believe that if they are good men, and understand their business, they will be glad to do the work for $60,000 inanother year, and perhaps for less, rather than to lose the job. We are on the right track now, and the public are indebted to Assistant Alder- man Webb, of the Sixteenth ward, and one or two others on the contract committee, for their exertions in getting this system adopted. The streets are to be swept twice a week; let the public bear this in mind. Justice 1x New Orteans.—In November last, we had perpetrated, in one of our streets, a bloody murder, in which a man by the name of Andrew Meehan was the unfortunate sufferer, the facts of which were published at the time. Subsequent disclosures fastened the crime on a young man by the name of William Donaldson ; the conse- quence was, that a bill of indictment was found, charging Donaldson with the murder. The cor- poration offered a reward of $200 for the apprehene sion of the murderer. Donaldson fled from the ety ; and, in order to Theatriest and Mustcal. Bowsny Tumatis.—A very large audience attended at this favorite placé of amusement last night, and the manner in which the applause was bestowed upon the performances, gave sufficient evidence that the labors of the proprietor, in catering for the amusement of the people, are appreciated. The beautiful opera of “ Cin- derelia. or ‘The Queen of the Fairies,” was repeated, in which Miss Mary ‘'aylor again showed her great pene as an actrers, in the character of Cinderella. ith every repetition, it meets with renewed favor, and the approbation of the merits of those engaged in it, by the audienee, is but the just reward of talent, Miss Julia Turnbull then appeared, for the first time, a+ La Fleur de Champ, in the beautiful ballet of that Dame, and was received with the deafening cheers of the audience,most plainly indicating the great favor in which she is held. The part is beautiful one, and was perfermed with such graceand ease ax to bring down the involuntary applause of the whole house during the entire performances, The * Pas de Nayades,” as ex- eouted by her, was most beautiful, and gained a greater degree of favor than any of her former e forts. Mr. G. W. Swith,as Rudolph, was admirably performed, and won for him the lasting favor of the wudience.’ The several passes which he performed with Miss Turnbull re really graceful. and beautifully accomplished. The piece went off with great eclat, and deserved! too, for it is on» of the most chaste and beautiful bal- Jets which has been presented. The laughable comedy of “Crimson Crimes” wound up the in which Mr. Winans, as Funk, kept th. yuleed with laughter. He has a style peculiar to himself, and his mere appearance upon the boards fills every one present with delight, especially those who may have been suffering under melancholy feel- ings. Go to-night; a first rate bill is offered, and one which cannot but be received with the same spirit which pervades the house every evening. Niaxo’s.—The continued indisposition of Mr. Ham~ mond prevented his appearance at this house, last evening, and the comedy of the ‘‘Honey Moon” was played, instead of the piece in which Mr. H. was to have taken a part. We regret that Mr. H. should be so unfortunate as to fall sick at this time. The few evenings on which he played, he made a very fa- yorable impression, though even then he was far from well ; however, we trust that he will, ere long, recover entirely, and we are sure that he will be heartily re- ceived, as becomes his merits. Mr Vandenhoff took the part of Duke Aranza last night. Every one will admit that he isa most admirable reader ani elocu- tionist ; indeed, few actors enunciate so clearly, and accompany their words with such appropriate action ; but with all that, he might be a little more spirited and energetic. It appears to us, that this is the only thi lacking in Mr. V., to entitle him to the highest ran! n actor. Mias Rose Telbin performed the part of Juliana. This charmiag young actress niversal favorite, and, what is more, isan excellent performer. There is so much grace and elegancein her mode of rendering the parts she is cast in, that she invests the most trifling scene with interest.’ John Sefton, Daw- son, and the rest of the company, are all excellent in thelr various styles of acting. To-night,#Mr. Hackett will appear in his favorite and original part of Nimrod Wildare, in the “Kentuckian.” This is one of the parts that gave Mr. Hackett so much reputation in years gone by. He still, however, is a8 gay and eccen- trie a Kentuckian as ever, and as able to do full jus- tice to the oddities of our southwestern friends. He will likewise appear as O'Callaghan, in the farce of “ His Last Legs,” a part in which he has gained much reputation. The farce of “A Kiss in the Dark” will commence the entertainments. Benron’s Tueatre. — There was a crowded and fashionable audience at this theatre last night, to witness the choice and beautiful performances which are there presented. “Dombey and Son,” was first played, in which Mr. Burton sustained the character of Captain Cuttle, an old mariner, and his personation of the character was in perfect keeping with his general performance: It was received throughout with thunders of applause, especially in that where his kindly feelings are enlisted in beh: Walter Gay, by Mrs. Grace, in which all the tri character of the honest tar is most beautifully pou: trayed. Mr. Brougham performed the character of Major Joe Bagstook and Jack Bunsby, and his opinion in nautical matters,in the estimation of Captain Cuttle, was considersd superior to that of the world. His parts were admirably played. Mr. Nickinson, as Dombey, most faithfully portrayed the character of the aristocratic and brutal husband and father; while bis graceful and talented daughter, as Florence Dombey, was excellent. Mrs Knight, as Edith, the victimized wife of the hero, was received with delight by the audience, for the able manner in which she personated the character. Mrs. Vernon, as Mrs. Skewton, a dear, good, but fashion loving mother, who is willing to destroy the happiness of ber child for the sake of wealth, performed the part with great effect; while Mr. a as Toots, made another most effectual hit. x. Fredericks and Miss Walters appeared in a beautiful “Pas de Deux.” The per- of arrest his flight, messages were despatched to almost every city in the Union, with a request to arrest him immediately. Among other efforts made, officer A. M. C. Smith forwarded a copy of the indictment to an officer in New Orleans, where Donaldson was supposed to have fled. This proved formance concluded with a repetition of that popular burlesque * Lucy did Sham-Amour,”” which was re- ceived with redoubled applause. Mr. Burton is con- stantly bringing forward such popular pieces that the house is crowded every night; and with his pre- sent company it is impossible to fail. Go to see him night, and ycu will be satisfied that the entertain- ments are equal, if not superior, to any place in the city, to be correct, as Donaldson was arrested on the 11th of June, and detained 1n prison, on the copy of this indictment. Information of the arrest was forthwith sent to officer Smith, who, without de- lay, procured a requisition from Governor Young, for the removal of the accused to this State, fot trial. This document was obtained, and officer Smith left this city, on the Ist of July, in the steamer Crescent City, with all the necessary pa- pers for Donaldson’s removal to this State. | On the arrival of Mr. Smith at New Orleans, on the 10th of July, he was intormed by the authonities who had Donaldson in custody, that the prisoner had been discharged by Judge McHenry, one of the district judges, on the 3d instant, on a writ of habeas corpus; the judge setting forth, “that as no requisition was shown, he should discharge the the copy of the indictment was proved, and in- formation given, that a requisition was coming on The conduct of this judge is beyond comment, in allowing a man charged with a capital offence, | toescape punishment. If judges are to take this | high-handed measure in discharging criminals, | the sooner our laws are abolished the better. We | understand that a woman of all-fame, keeper of a | house of prostitution in New Orleans, paid Donald- son’s counsel $700 to procure his release. | Take the proceedings altogether, they were an | outrage on public justice, and the sooner, we | think, s uch judges resign, the better it will be for the admtnistratuion of criminal law, and the safe- guard of the community. | Sporting Intelligence. Usron Course, L. I.—The trotting and pacing con teats at this course, yesterday, afforded great delight to all who witnessed them. There was a good attend. ance ; the number would have been doubled but for the accident that oceurred on the Long Island Rail, Toad the day previous, rendering it impossible, from the destruction of the engines, for the company to send up trains to the track. The first engagement was a pacing contest fora purse, between b. m. Cayuga Maid, and g.g, Moun- taincer, mile heats, best in five, under the saddle. First Heat.—Cayuga Maid drew the track. The start was even ; round the upper turn they kept head to head, and passed the quarter pole in 4034 seconds. They were locked down the back stretch until near the half mile pole, where the mare broke, and tl Mountaineer gained a length or so. ‘Time of balf mi and, the grey breaking up, she went in front, which she held to the score, winning by two lengths, in 2:37. Second Heat—They got off finely together, and from the beginning to the end of the mile. there was nct apparently the difference of a foot between them. It was decided a dead heat. Time, first quarter, 30 7 Third Heat—Another even sta round the upper turn side and si: pole, tho grey broke up, passing the baif in 1-1 score, ween by.

They were locked down the back stretch, neither being able to beat the other an Inch, and they passed the half in1:20. ‘They clung together round the lower turn and up the home stretch, until within twenty feet of the score, when Mountaineer broke up, and Cayuga Maid won by half # length, in 2:38. ‘This was one of the finest and most closely contested pacing races ever witnessed, The following is the summary :— James Whe)pley entered b. m.

New Natiowat Tuetre.—This beautiful place, the re-embellishment of which reflects so much credit upon Mr. Chanfrau, its able manager, was crowded last evening, in spite of the hot weather. It was the fourth night of the engagement of Mr. J. R. Scott, the popular tragedian, who has so many friends in our city, that whenever he appears he is sure to draw a full house. The entertainment began with the laughable farce of the “ Spectre Bridegroom,” which was played With a great deal of mirt! id histrionic ability. Miss Carline, a very deserving little danseuse, ap- peared in @ pas from “ La Fille du Danube,” which was encored a8 usual. Then came the drama of the “ Adopted Child,” in which Mr. Scott personated the character of Michael, with that verve of action and speech which is so peculiar to that talentedactor, Mrs. McLean, a very splendid woman and an excellent actress, performed the part of Nell with, skill and per- fect ease. This lady walks the stage and reads her part. with a characteristic power, aad is, undoubtedly, one of the best artists in her profession. The whole con- cluded with the farce of “ Ole Bull,” which elicited great applause. The bill for this evening will consist of the comedietta of “Swiss Cottage,” followed by the ce- lebrated drama of “Don Cesur de Bazan,” in which Mr. Scott will personate the hero. Miss Carline will dance two pas, and the performance will conclude with the petite comedy of “Nature and Philosophy” Warm or not, Mr. Chanfrau will have another full house. Castie Ganvex.—This evening, the programme of entertainment is very attractive, containing several beautiful airs.

Tue Raver Famiy—These celebrated acrobates, who met with such success throughout the United ota well as in South America, are now perform- ing at Havre, France, at the great theatre of that city. Vhey began their engagement onthe 26th July, and gave the following features well known to our readers: “ Exercices Aeriens,” by Messrs. Léon Javelli, Frau- gois Ravel, and Mme. Martin; “Bolero Espagnol,” a dance by Mme. Léon Javelli and M. Henri Wells; “Les Trois Gladiateurs,” by Messrs. Léon Javelli, Francois Ravel, and Philippe; Vol-au-Vent,” a comic ballet in one act, from the * Meuniers.”” As the names of Gabriel, Antoine, and Jerome Ravel, are not in the preceding cast, it is probable that they are still living at their country residence at Toulouse. Very likely the company now in Havre will soon return to ork, Resi@Nation or tHe Treasurer ov Kewrecky. —Komorgp Deratcation.—Col. James Davidson has resigned the office ot Treasurer of State. In- disposition is assigned as the reason for this couree, and we regret to say the gentleman 1s ex- tremely ill. Rumor assigns other causes for the resignation. The letter to the Governor asks the pointment of commissioners to settle the late reasurer’s accounts, and his friends will be gra- tified if they shall be found near correct, as the lnyestigation, so far, by the Auditor of the State, itis understood, shows a defalcation of forty or fifty thousand dollars. It 1s proper to say that a supposed error in the ‘Treasurer's favor is found, which will reduce the deficit about $3000. The Treasurer’s official boad has not been renewed since 1840, the reason for which will doubtless be explained by the Executive. We understand the law directs no special place ofdeposit for the bond; and as the Treasurer regulary presented the names of his sureties to the Governor, it was supposed the bond was executed with them on it. mt soon as the Governor learned the facts stated, he issued an order, that until every thing was put to rights, the Auditors\were no longer to recognise Colonel Davidson as Treasurer, We learn that Colonel Peter Dudley has ee appointed to fill the va- packag, ‘Tremendous and Enthusiastic Meeting In favor of Ireland. One of the largest and most enthusiastic meetings that ever was held in New York, was convened at Vauxhall Garden, lastevening It was an adjourned meeting of the friends of Ireland; and, although there was little or no preliminary notice, thousands, and tens of thousands, of the devoted sons of Erin a-sem- bled therefor the purpose of giving their mites, and breathing a prayer for the success of the struggle in which the people of Ireland are, perhaps, at the pre- sent time engaged—a struggle which will either rivet Stronger the chains which bind her, or make that icle, what it ought to be, free and independent of foreign domination. It was in vain that the assembled thou- fands sought to obtain an entrance to the spacious hall of Vauxhali—it was densely filled within ten mi- putes after the meeting was called to order, andin five minutes more, it was so crammed, that it could not postibly holdanother person. Such being the state of matters, and thousands remaining outeide, it was pro- jored that an organization should take place inthe Tiree arden attached to the establishment, which was deena done. The enthusiasm manifested at this meeting was beyond description, The sons of Ireland, and others, actuaily climbed over eaeh other's backs and shoulders. with the view of showing their enthu- tiasm inthe cause. and their pocket-sympathy with the Irish in the flict in which they are now, and will soon, be engaged. The meeting was composed rincipally of mechanics and laboring men, who have Ty eae thee daily bread by the sweat ot their brow, apd who, perhaps, are not worth fifty dollars in the world; yet, so great was their enthusiasm, that five, ‘and ’te 4 a hundred dol- lare, which, perhaps, w wings of weeks or months and years of hard labor, were handed in most willingly. Indeed, as regards numbers and enthu- siasm, we question if the meeting last night, has ever been equalled in this city. Mr, James W, Wirrrr was appointed chairman; and, on taking his seat, said that it was not necessary, nor indeed was it proper, that he should detain the meet- ing with any lengthy address on the subject which had called them together. It is gratifying to witaess the spirit which animates the people of New York on the subject of Jreland’s circumstances, and her strug- gle for liberty. The large assembl: hich is here this evening,proves that jthe [pirit corresponds with the spirit that is up and doing on the other side of the water ; and shows that while the people there are, perhape, this moment engaged in deadly con- flict for i with the arbitrary government that has so long oppressed them, we here, on this side, a: equally anxious to aid them to the fullest extent our power, Gentlemen, we have commenced the good work with them, and we persevere in it with them, until Ireland be either further enslaved, which Goad forbid, or until she be>finally victorious and in- dependent, (Applause) We have enlisted for the ed ded by impressing upon the friends of Ireland the necesrity of immediate section. ‘Three hearty groans baving been given for Lord John Russell, the reeretaries announced that they were ready to receive further sunseriptions, when the came in most plentifully; and it is impossible lescribe the intense feelings of hatred which each donor breathed against Epginud as he handed in his money. We never witnes:ed such @ scene of enthu- siasm, and fromIthe avowed intentions of numbers in the assembly, we apprehend that the sooner the Bri- tish soldiers in Canuda are reinforced from the mother country, the longer is that colony likely to remain under the sway of the British crown. We understand that a large Irish force is shortly to invade Canada; and however we, as American citizens, may deprecate this event, we believe that to such an extent have the Plans been matured, it will be whoily impossible for our government, however amicable our relutioas with Great Britain, to prevent it.} x Dr. Ryax wes the next epeaker, He did not intend. to occupy their time very long. It was not words which ere wanted now, but deeds. (Cheers.) Under these circumstances, therefore, he would be very brief, as their time would be much better oecupied in getting money than hearing speeches. ‘hey were met there for s great object—tor a glorious purpose—to emanci- pate that glorious island, which suffered so long the despotism of Great Britain, and to raise her up to the dignity of an independent nation. (Cheers.) This was a great work, and was tl any one there who would refuse to contribute his aid to effect it? (Cheers.). ‘Was there any one in that assembly content to see the lofty mountains and the fertile valleys of: that beautiful country trodden any longer oy slaves ¢ (Loud cries of “No, no!) Where, e ask, was there a place on the glo! ‘possesses of such » position, and such resources; and where again could be found @ spot, where the acts of man had so perverted the decrees of heaven? (Cheers.) He earnestly hoped that the dark days of ireland had assed, and that a brighter horizon would shortly ghten the firmament of that unhappy country. Cheers.) But how was that wished for day to (oeaee ‘about? Was it by vacilating from their pur- pose, and receding from their resolves! (Cries no, no.) No, he was satisfied that their exertions should be untiring, and their zeal unbounded, until they could safely say that they hud done their part in ac- complishing this noble work of humanity. (Cheers.) He concluded by makinga strong appeal to the assem plage to help forward the good work ; and he hoped that no Irishman on this side of the Atlantic, would: hesitate to renderall the assistance tn his power to aid his country in her present emergency. (Loud chee: . Th aE again came in by handfuls, amid the greatest cotienent and enthusiasm. ‘The war polic; ‘was the only thing talked of—one dollar for a pike an fi 8, and bullets, and dollars, ‘ange confu- m at every success: e men employed in Sherwood and Fisher’s, corner ot Broad- way and Walker street, gave sixteen dollars to raise’ a barricade, which was received with loud cheers. Mr. Rosixson here announced that the Waterfor® Barricade Club would make their report on the next war with them, and not until a glorious peace shall have been concluded, shall we cease. (Cheers) Day and night will we struggle with them, and we shall use every means in our power towards their liberation. Gentlemen, I need hardly tell you, that we have met here for business Perrone and it would not be preper ‘and appro) that I should take up your time by speech-making. You will, no doubt, be addressed by men capable of enlisting and calling forth your sym- pathies in aid of the movement in which we are en- gaged. (Applause ) lessrs. Richard Emmett and Charles Shea,were then appointed secretaries. Cuaries O'Connor, Esq., thenread a sypnopsis of @ report of the proceeedings of the Irish directory since the last meeting, from whieh we gleaned that the friends of Ireland in Pottsville, Pennsylvania had con- tributed $600; the Repeal Confederation of Washing- ton $600; Mr. William Fitzpatrick $20; the Thomas F. Meagher Club $260; the Mitchel Club $31 60; the friends of Ireland in jimore $1046 69; the frien: of Ireland in Syracuse $700; Mr. John Colum, a pa. triot of 1792 and 1798§$100; the Emmett Club of Car- bondale, Pennsylvania $100; Silas Harris $5, and the $500? of the Friends of Ireland in Utica tated that the directory had letters from y places, stating that the friends of Ireland the: e neany, to act; that they were in receipt of funds, and asking what should be done with them. Of course all such replies are an- swered in the address to the friends of Ireland in the United States, recently issued. ~The collection of contributions being in order, sums varying from one dollar to one hundred, poured in as fast as the treasurer could receive them. While this was going on, Mr. Jonn 1, Envis, the bearer of the subscription of six hundred dollars from the Repeal Confederation of Washington, was introduced to the meeting, and to the tune of liberty and independence for Ireland, addressed the meeting ina short and pitby speech. Friends and fellow countrymen, said he, | can assure you that when I entered this room, { had not the eee idea that I would bave been so much honored as I have been in being called upon to address such a meeting as this. I came here merely for the purpose of being @ witness of the enthusiasm which i have read so much of in the papers of your city, but it seems to me that cold would be the heart of any man that would not be animated by the enthusiasm andthe spirit of emotion to fatherland, which is presented here to-night. (Applause) I have been honored, snfficiently honored, as being made the agent of the friends of Ireland in Washington, to bear their con- tributions to you, and did not contemplate in being further honored in being called upon to address you. This subscription, however, is: but the first from Washington. The Irish people there do not unfortu- nately constitute a wealthy, portion of thelcommunity. The sum of six hundred dollars was, notwithstand- ing, collected at one mecting, (applause,) and the as- remblage by which it was contributed, was presided over by one of the most illustrious of our countrymen, one in whose veins flows the blood of George Washington, (Tremendous applause.) one who, for the last twenty years, has been ever ready to respond to the call of Ireland, to assist them in eve- Ty way; one who has never deserted the cause, and one who has frequently said, that if you wish to do anything with the Britiah lion, it is of no use to catch him by the mane and pat him, but you must hold him, and prick him with the pike. (A deafening outburst of applause tollowed this remark) That man is George Washington P. Custis. (Tremendous applause.) But his efforts in aid of the cause of Ireland were not con- fined to words ; for on the following day. without an: solicitation, and although he is not possessed of mue! of the good things of this world, we received from him a letter, enclosing the sum of twenty dollars, (great applause.) to aid the people of Ireland in their struggle for freedom. But, gentlemen and frieuds, although we have given this sum of six hundred dollars, permit me to say, on behalf of the friends of Ireland in Washing- ton, that when the General Taylor of Ireland in New York (applause) calls on us, we shall be ready to give a little more grape (tremendous applause) to the direc- tory of New York, who, I may add, have the entire con- fidence of the people of Washington, (applause ;) and that we shall continue to do so, until rele nd shall be victorious and independent. Permit me to make an- other remark. There is another name in that list of contributors which must recall to Ireland some of the saddest, as well as some of the most pleasant rentinis- cences in the history of Ireland. There is one name there, which I am sure must stir up the hearts of free. men. We have, gentlemen, received a noble contribu- tion from the widow of the nted Wolfe Tone. (Con- tinued applause ). Yes, we have in that list the names of the most glorious men of America and of Ireland. They have both given their sanction to the cause in which Ireland is engaged, if, indeed, any sanction Were necessary. I shail not detain you any longer. I am proud of being in this position in the emporium of the western world, and proud, as the son of an Irish- man, of being present at such a meeting as this. Iam proud of being the son of a Wexford man. (*‘ Three cheers forjVinegar Hill!” Hurrah! Hurrah ! F urrab Yes, you may well cheer for Vinegar Hill, and I hope shail have the pleasure of soon mingling my enthust- night of meeting, and he ventured to say that it would be worthy of themselves and of the cause. (Cheers.) Mr. Baker next addressed the meeting, but his in- troductory observations were greatly interrupted by the cheers of the immense assembly outside, whe were evincing their feelings to another orator, He called upon them torender to Ireland all the aid it was pos- sible for them to bestow, fer now was her hour of dif- ficulty and danger. She was at present engaged in a struggle with that inhuman beast that had so long outraged humanity by the barbarous and cruel suffer- ings she had inflicted upon her. Having addressed several assemblies during the week, his voice wes too impaired to enable him to do justice to any observa- tions he might feel inclined to make. He believed that the time had arrived when patience was a vice, and when vengeance, red vengeance, was a virtue. (Loud and prolonged cheers.) ' Some think this language intemperate ; but he believed that it was the lan; miante to the occasion. ‘This was not meeting to investigate philosophical problems—a nice question of inction, It was a meeting to investigate whether portion of God's. creatures should be abandoned to the tender mercies. of armed ruffians and a ruthless soldi (Cheers.) This was a war meeting, and, therefore, he would nog apologise for the language he used; but, on the con- trary, should endeavour to rouse every energy, 60 a3 to induce them to fight as ifthey had feasted on lions? marrow. (Cheers.) Adopting the language of Henry the 4th, he would call upom them to behave themselves Ritaply wate at peace, but when the blast of war rang: upon their ears, to be as tigers in their fierce deport~ ment. (Loud cheers.) This demeanor in them was what had pleased him most. (Unanimous cheers.) Babectietpne were again received, and several hand- ed In their third subreription. Mr. Divver then addressed the audience in » straim of impassioned elequence, and expressed ye that half # million of skiiful riflemen would sho: bein readin jo accomplish any design which the to ry might lay before them. He believed t?, . break in Ireland was confine io the metropolis ela re ~—s of barricades, it might possibly be suppress- ed; buts. it was wide-epread over the whole country, lio was of opinion that there would be six or even: twelve months’ hard fightin f before any thing decisive was accomplished. Their duty under these circum- stances was to take the most effective and practical measures to concentrate the vast wheiyer of this Un- jota in tl Pittsburg, down the Ohio to the valley of the Mississippi, the friends of freedom and humanity throughout this great continent—should be all appealed to, that the iron rod of th pot might be breken, and the vie- tim of his opp: set free. (Cheers.) After a few observations from Mr. O’Conor, it was announced that a meeting cf a similar kind would be held to-morrow night, in the 18th ward, at Constitu- tion Hall, when a large att»ndance is expected. The meeting then separated, giving three tremendous cheers for old Ireland, and the speedy annihilation of the bloody old British empire. THE SECOND MEETING. In consequence of the vast assem! of nes who had gathered round the main stand in the hall, many found it difficult to make their way to the vi- piled se ad yes to a in their pene aaa and accordingly @ large crowd adjourned to the garden, where a platform was erected for the occasion, and & second meeting was organized. Horace Greeley, Esq., was unanimously called to the cheir, and Charles M Carthy Delany and R. Emmett oyle, were appointed to act as secre’ 5 he Cuarrmax, on taking the chair, exhorted the many friends of ireland who surrounded him to come forward and contribute in every possible manner to thi id of the Irish byind in their present struggle. ey should cut off the price of their tea and tobacco, and of everything they ured as the necessaries of life, in order to enable themselves to forward, by pecuniary aid, the present struggle in which their countrymen were engaged. There were but three thousand miles between them, and the humbier classes in particular were bound to contribute, as this was a struggle car- ried on for the poor against the rich, not oaly in Ire. land, but in Scotland, England, and everywhere. He exhorted the poor, therefore, to make their little clubs, and contribute. m one dollar each, as the Irish wanted powder and muskets. (Applause) They were about to go with the pike alone against cavalvy—(cheers)—and had gotto do every thing, as far as they had gone, almost with the vol and they now wanted money, (“They shall ave it.”) They had nothing as yet but the pike amongetthem. (Cheers.) To be sure, the pi e was a glorious instrument, when it was within range—(cen- tinued cheering)—but it required to be supperted by another arm of the military service. After briefly ex- Plaining the necessity for immediate action in the cause of Ireland, the chairman concluded, when seve- ral subscriptions were handed in, through the active #gency of Mr. Walsh, and other gentlemen upon the platform. Mr. Anprew Farrow next addressed the meeting. He proceeded to show that England had tyrannized asm with yours. All I can say is, persevere to the end in this cause. There is 'y reason for you to shout for for Vinegar Hill. We can’t assist those whoare about to fight the battle of Vinegar Hill over again by going over there. A large number of us, as Hannegan says, can- not go in companies; but we can go by twos, and threes, and form our compsnies t! after our arrival, Ane ise and three cheers for Han: Gentlemen, will , in conclusion, persevere in the good a good one, and I firmly believe that it e blessing of Providence. I firmly believe that the cause of Ireland is as worthy, and as noble a one, as any ever undertaken by human means. There is, in this country, where, happily, no such tyranny ex- ists as does in Ireland, a strong feeling of attachment to that country. It is a good cause, and I believe it will prosper; and I will conclude by saying, that it is my fondest hope, that if ever | should meet you again, I will be able to mingle my congratulations with yours over the independence of old and suffering Ireland. Mr. Ennis sat down, and wa: uch applauded.— Contributions were handed in again in large sums. A e containing one hundred and ten dollar, was received from the Sarsficld Club of Staten Island, a hundred dollars from John Many,and various amounts, varying from one to twenty dollars, in addition, from those present. The mouncement of each sum re- d, Was respon to with vociferous applause. Mr. Witsiam E. Ronixson was the next spe. ker, who. after being rej eatedly called upon to address the mi cting,said that it was felony, or equally as bad, to call upon, him to delivei on this occasion, | am, said he, tired, ex! nd worn out; but, althou.h | have lost my voice, thank God I bave rot lost my beart in the cause, (Applause) ‘The Inet night l appeared here, I pledged the meeting then assembled that 1 was going on a mission, and in- tended to do something. Since then | have beén on thet mission, and | have done something, and the marke of the decay and dissolution of that mission are before you, (Applause and laughter.) I am, in fact, used wp; but, although my voice is damaged, I feel as if I can still fight. (Laughter) On Friday cancy.— Frankfort, Yeoman, Aug. 11th. Destructive Fine in Srovenrox—Tie Town liovse Burnt.—About half-past 2 o'clock yester- day afternoon, a fire commenced in the stable of Mr. Capen, at Stoughton, in the rear of the hotel kept by him. The stable and contents, of hay and grein, were consumed, The fire then communi- cated to the new and elegant town house, and thence to a dwelling house, consisting of two tenements, all of which were destroyed.

(Applause ) Although there was not as much done in Buffalo as we expected there would be, yet | have no doubt that that place will give a good account of herself, On the next night we were at Rochester, where we had one of the greatest meetings ever held in that city. It wus presided over by the mayor, who handed in his subscription of one hundred dollars. and four hundred dollars in addition wero collected there, We then took the boat and went to Syracuse which place, you may be assured, will give @ good account of her- Felf.

(Cheers) They were determined to aid tie people from Ireland in America; and he trusted and oped that that people would be sustained. (Jhoors,) A good deal of talk had been raised by eo-ne person: about Ireland's recent movements, and the nations were aroused on the subject. (Hear, hear) But when the perilous condition of the people was takem into consideration, it was not to be wondered at that the people should stand forward and assect their liberty. (Cheers.) Glorious America would aid them in the struggle. (Cheers ) Messrs. Isaac Jonson. Covany, and W. BE.
