THE IRISH AGITATORS.

On Satarday last, a •Meeting of Roman Catho-
lics, few in number, was held at Mr. Fitzpatrick's,
Capel-street. There were none of those vigorous
effusions of lungs and. declamation exhibited -on
this occasion, that rendered those Meetitigs,' un-
der abother designation, so celebrated anti so ob-
noxious. None of the Noblemen, aml Gentle-
men, tvho had abjured the clamour, intemperance,
and folly, of. the Old " Board,," anti who have
been termed " Seceders," were present on this
.occakion. Lord Fingal declined attending—so did
Sir Edward Bellew—and all those, whose rank
and consideration would have made the meeting
respectable, parstied,the same conduct —all sheaved
. their dislike to this •new organization of Orators,
and Speech-makers. The Chair was take's, how-
ever—..some business introduced, and Resolutions
passed, to call an Aggregate Meeting; the day for
which was not specified. A Committee was then
nominated to forward the objects of rite kssembiy,
on which were -placed, we understand, the Haines
of Mr.. Findlay and Mr. Phillips—an honour which
even those Gentlemen declined. After the Geae-
rat affairs of the-Meertng bad been discusazd and
disposed of, a Gentleman, Mr. Lithe, as the pub-
lic reports of the proceedings state, Offered him-
self to their notice, for the purpose of adverting
,to the publication, which had first appeared its
the Corr.espondent, respecting the late Roman
Catholic Board, which had beets ascribed to a
learned and very distinguished character, and
which, from' the singular aptitude-and felicity of
its composition, had received universal eirculatioa.
This production, he assured the Meeting, did not
proceed from Mr. Curran, the eminent personage
_to whom it had been attributed, but was, as far
as his name was involved, a fabrication. lie,
however, observed, that lie was in possession of a
letter from Mr. Curran, on the same subject,
which, with the eennissicm of the Meeting, he
would read. Consent having beets given, Mr.
Lube read the letter, which was in all the forcible,
fanciful, and energetic imagery and colintring of
its author, and not more sparing in reprobatiou of
that extraordinary Convention, the late Roman
Catholic Board, than that which Mr. Labe called
the fabricated letter, but less pointed in person-
ality. The auditors, according to our infortufl-
tibn„were inflamed with indignation at this second
delineation, as happy as the former in general pre-
cision of the Body, of which some of them had
been the most conspicuous Members. The Chief
of the Orators denounced Mr. Curran as having
last the confidence of the Ronan Catholics, of
Ireland, of whose disapprobation he undertook to
be the representative, and great bustle, and great
resentment, were manifested. Except this ebnli-
tion.of spirit, the meeting was remarkable for no-
thing of former dash and-turbulence. Theßeso-
lutious were passed, with an interdiction as to
their receiving public notoriety, and the Meeting,
with the usual compliment to the Chairman's
zeal, propriety, and soforth adjourned.—(Dublin

The Emperor ALEXANDER constantly walks out
at Vienna.—A few days ago, while abroad like a •
private individual, he tell in with a woman, who
was employed in cutting Wood, and asked her
how much she earned per day " Three florins,"
answered the woman, who did not know him.
" Well," said the EMPEROR, " that is enough
to live upon." " Yes,'' replied 6h e, "if the
great Lords and • Sovereigns who are of here
would go away ; but their long stay increases the
price of every thing." " Never mind," said th.:
EMPEROR, laughing, " they will go soon ;" and
taking out his purse, he gave bet a piece of gold.
