MATZRIALS FOR AN IRISH SPEECH.—" Saxon—
oppression—moral force—dagger—forefathers—revenge
—first gem of the sea—trampled upon—oh !—finest
peasantry—Cromwell—slaughter— Erin's daughters—
blood boil—ah !—cruelty—debt of 80,000,0001.—robbery
—sacrilege for 500 years—tyranny—be Irishmen—assert
yourselves—pikes—iron bars on the railways—moral
force—be patient—repeal —hereditary bondsmen—would
you be free ?—pay in your subscriptions."—(Tremendous
cheering.) By filling in any ordinary words to make a
kind of grammatical sense of the above (though that is
not absolutely necessary), an excellent Conciliation-hall
speech, or a monster-meeting harangue inculcating
peace, quiet, and content, in the true Irish incendiary
fashion, may be produced during any month of the
year, but if it is in the depth of the winter, the effect,
of course, is considerably stronger. N.B.—Patriot's
materials made up in the same way, on the shortest

TA KING IT COOLLY !—On Thursday a man, having
the appearance of a tradesman, was observed by several
individuals in the act of removing the bells from the
stair of a newly-finished building in Buccleuch-street.
On being interrogated, he said that he was in the em-
ployment of a respectable bell-hanger, whom he named,
and that he had been sent to remove the bells for the
purpose of fitting them up with new springs. This
story being doubted, inquiry was privately made at the
bell-hanger, who had been named, but he knew nothing
of the man. Upon this discovery, the man, who gave
his name as Macdonald, was immediately taken into
custody. The attempt was all the more daring, as it
took place in broad daylight, and while a number of
workmen were engaged in the inside of the building.—
