THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 19, 1863,

THE IRISH « NATIONALISTS."

(From the Dublin Express.)
A monster meeting of Irish "Nationalists" was
convened on Saturday, on the heights of Slievena-
mon Mountain in the county of Tipperary, a loca-
lity rendered historical during the Repeal agitation
of 1848. On the highest point of the mountain is
a rock which, ever since that period, has been known
by the name of " Meagher's Rock," and this, it was
determined, should be the rallying point. The un-
favourable character of the weather prevented large
numbers who would otherwise have attended ; but
about 700 were present, principally of the labouring
class. On the topmost pinnacle of the mountain
was a flag of red, white, and green, on which an
Irish harp without the crown was depicted.
At about four o'clock Charles J. Kirkham, Esq.,
of Mullinehone, was called on to preside.
Tee CilefemeN rose amid loud applause. He said
that the object of the meeting was, in the first place,
to renew their vows never to cease until they gad
achieved the independence of Ireland. (Great
cheers.) In the mean time, the nationalists or Tip-
perary were ready to give aid to any non-parlia-
mentary movement which was likely to do good to
the poor, oppressed, and down-trodden tenants-at-
will of Ireland. (Hear, hear.) He did not believe
that the cause of Irish nationality could be served
much by speech-making. if Irishmen would serve
their country, they must earn for themselves a very
eifferent character. They must copy the examples
set by other oppressed people, and begin in earnest
to woo the goddess Freedom in the only way in
which she ever would be won.
A Volcg—Hurrah for the Poles, as an example !
(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN continued—He would be told
that this was dangerous, but the goal could never be
won without danger, sacrifice, and suffering. He
solemnly declared and believed the dungeon and the
scaffold were mercies compared with the cup of gall
and wormwood which the Irish patriot was forced
to drain, and the bitterest drops in which were
poured by hands which his heart told him ought to
be the first stretched out to aid his efforts and to
bless them. Let us learn to look our situation
steadily in the face_ The Irish race is strong in
America' in the Colonies of England, and in the
heart of England itself. Let us be in earnest, and
we shall be as strong at home. The chairman then
referred to the names of the men of 1848—to
Michael Doheny—may his memory be ever
green among us ! for a braver Irishman Tip-
perary never nursed, and a nobler heart than his
never crumbled into dust—(cheers)—to the gifted
young tribune, Thomas F. Meagher, and to the
descendant of the ancient Feenian chiefs, the gallant
O'Maheny ; and he hoped that ere long the modern
Feenians would assemble in their might with the
tried and trustedOeMahony at their head. (Cheers.)
Mr. GILL, of the Tipperary Advocate, proposed
the following resolution—" Resolved, That Parlia-
mentary agitation in this country be discouraged
and discountenanced, inasmuch as all hopes of re-
dressing the wrongs of Ireland and saving her
from utter ruin through the agency of the London
Parliament are now and for evermore senseless
and illusory. By all true Irishmen these wrongs
are felt more keenly than words can describe,
though means of redressing them for the pre-
sent we have not in our hands; but we watch
and wait for their coming with eager hope, resolved,
as God may aid us, to grasp them when within our
reach, and to use them as the means of our salva-
tion." Did they demand anything unreasonable ?
No. They merely demanded what was given to
every English colony—self-government, self-legis-
lation. Yet they were denied it—(hear)—and lately
Lord Palmerston said in his place in the House of
Commons, that he would not interfere between
Irishmen, but would let them fight their battles out
between landlord and tenant. (Hear.) No; Eng-
land carei nothing for Ireland, and the British
Minister did not care if 20 lanalords were shot a
day, if 50 peasants were hanged for every one of
them.

A. VOlCE—There would want to be more of them
shot. (Hear, hear.)
Another VOICE—So there will. (Cheers, and cries
of " Down with the landlords.")
Mr. GILL—And the proof that they do not want
to prevent them is, that they never would have
supplied the police with swords, belts, and long
rifles if they wanted them to catch thieves. No;
they want the police for the purpose of shooting
down the remnant of the Irish population. (Hear,
and yells.) That is what the police wear the rifles
and swords for, and not to detect the murderer and
the assassin. The speaker then referred to the
Irish aristocracy, whom he characterised as a set of
bloodthirsty hounds, the meanest creatures in the
form of bipeds on the face of creation, having no idea
of freedom or fatherland. But, thank God, there
was hope for Ireland still. He saw a thousand honest
hearts at that meeting, with the representatives of
50,000 more. He called upon them to counsel
their comrades and brothers to stay at home, and
not by flying to Ameeica.
A VOICE : They will come back. (Hear.)
Mr. GILL : They will come back with a vengeance.
He concluded amid loud applause.
The resolution was seconded by Mr. RODERICK
KICKHAM.

Mr. FINNERTY, a young Nationalist, who stated
he had come from the north riding of Tipperary,
next addressed the meeting in a vehement speech,
and called on Irishmen to imitate the example of
Poland. Mr. Gill had denounced the Irish aristo•

crats. They did not want such men. They wanted
meu whose hands were hardened by manly labour,
whose hearts were stout and brave, and whose hands
would not be blistered by the pike-handle,
(Cheers.) He. was not there to counsel the Irish

people to rush into a senseless resolution, or follow a
wild goose chase, but Irishmen should remember

that no nation ever earned independence without
spilling more or less blood. (Great cheering.) If
after years of petitioning the British Parliament—.
if after years of sending repres3ntatives and misre-
presentatives to Parliament, they had won nothing,
how was it, to be won ?

A VOICE—By the pike.
Mr. FINNERTY—We are unarmed, but scythes
can be turned to some use if they provoke us too
far. (Hear.) The speaker concluded by calling on
nationalists to rally round the green flag till they
planted it for ever above the red on the highest
parapets of Dublin.

The resolution, having been put by the chairman
was carried by acclamation.

Desperate Encounter with a Burglar.

Early on Monday morning Mr. J. Brass, shoe-
maker, of the London-road, Worcester, was aroused
by a noise in the lower part of his house; and hav-
ing a suspicion that some one bad broken into his
premises, he got up and dressed himself, and, armed
with a stick baying a knot at its end, left his bed-
room to search the house. He had not gone far,
however, before he saw a man in the lower floor,
with a lighted candle in his hand. Thenoise made
by Mr. Brass had attracted the thief's attention, and
seeing that he was observed, he knocked out the light
and made for the window to effect his escape. Mr.
Brass was, however, too quick for him; and as the
man was getting out of the window dealt him a heavy
blow on the back with the weapon with which
he had armed himself. This brought the vagabond
to the ground, and then Mr. Brass seized him. A
frightful struggle ensued, the burglar grasping Mr.
Brass by the throat and endeavouring to overcome
IS,rtAtertheless, by dint of courageous and
steady perseverance Mr. Brass succeeded in keeping
the upper hend, and in self defence gave the fellow
a tremendous thrashing, in spite of his cads for his
Pal" to come to his assistance. The encounter
continued until the arrival of Police-sergean:.
Holmes and a city constable, into whose custody
Mr. Brass delivered his antagonist, and went with
them to the station-house. Another struggle was,
however, yet in store for him, for as they passed
through the London-road turnpike the man darted
frontin of his custodians and was making off. Again
Mr. Brass pursued him, and in a few strides was
sufficiently near to arrest his progress by another
blow, and he was ultimately secured and handed
over to Superintendent Philips, the burglary
having been committed outside the city boundary.
For some time the fellow refused to give his name,
but ultimately said ha was John Brown, of Thomas-
street, Worcester. On Monday he was brought
before Mr. H. B. Tymbs, at the office of the county
magistrates' clerk. He presented a very sorry
figure, one eye being entirely closed, and his face
exhibiting signs of the effectiveness of Mr, Brass's
blows. The case was merely opened, and prisoner
rernandedtill Friday. He had effected an entrance
to the premises by-removing a pane of glass from
the kitchen window, and cutting through the shut- ,
teas with a sharp chisel. Having succeeded thus
far he got in, and in mounting a table which stool
under the window, he knocked something o 1
which, falling to the ground, broke a plate, and oc-
casioned the noise that awoke Mr. Brass. lie was
also prepared with a sharp knife.
