J. W. BOURKE, AND JOAN O'BRIEN.
" We have only time to announce that the above

admitted to bail. The greatest excitement prevails.

THE IRISH 1110VEAlk,NT IN
AMERICA.
PHILADELPHIA, JULY 5.--Another Irish sympathy
meeting was held a few evenings since in this city. It
was called to order by Robert Tyler—Francis Tiernan,
chairman; W. H. Dunn and J. B. Colabel], secretaries.
But few speeches were made, as the object of theink
was simply simply to receive contributions.
On Monday there was a second meeting on Bergen
South Brooklyn, the " Irish Brigade" attending,
Mr. Develin, of Montreal, Canada, presided. lie said,
" in Canada, our (Irish) argument henceforth must be
the cannon, the musket, and the pike. (Cheers,
cries of " The pike," " The pike.") Mr. Mooney anal
Mr. O'Connor spoke. A number of children vvert
brought forward, whu contributed, and the rneetin '.
went in procession to the Astor House, wt
York, where, it was understood, the brother of
Mitchel, who had been transported to the Ber-
mudas, had arrived, in the royal
Britannia. On the same evening a meeting of the Brook-
mail l'tealtor,
'pi Republican Society of the Friends of Ireland met at
Freeman's Hall; but it was not large, dart ss

that should induce her to quit her native land" On
the following night another meeting of the same body
took place at Brooklyn. Mr. Develin, of Mon trtl, said that
the Irish in Canada were determined to throw off' British
tyranny as well as to succour Ireland. Mr. O'Connor
said that some of the Irish Brigade had gone to Ire-
land already, and that more would follow. " Thep
were ready to go and fight the battles of Ireland."
He was himself about to start through the linion,
and also to Canada, to see what could he done
for Ireland. It was stated at this meeting that Mr.
Mitchel's brother (now at the Astor-house, New York)
would not make his appearance in public for some dsye.
There was also a meeting at the same time, in the upper
part of the:city of New York. We observe that at a recent
Irish meeting in Now Orleans, 540 dollars were collected.
With regard to the Irish brigade, we presume that the
following brief paragraph from the New York Sam of
Wednesday last, alludes to the leaving of some of the
" New York Irish Brigade" for Ireland, es mentioned
in the speech of Mr. O'Connor. But really, the
extreme smallness of the number appears rather
farcical
Irian BRIGADE. - A delegation of fifteen
members of the Irish Brigade sailed a few (lays since for
Ireland, and will be followed on Friday next by fifteen
others, who are to leave in the ship John R. Skiddy."
We clip the following extract from the New York *-
respondence of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, of Thurs-
day, the 29th ult.:—
.

"An Irish sympathy meeting was held at the Shea-
pere Hotel last evening, and more money collected.
fly the way, it is as great a mystery what becomes of
this money, as it is what becomes of the flies. For what
object is it collected ? Is it to rescue Mr. Mitchel from
the Gibraltar of the western hemisphere—Bermuda ? I
much fear there is roguery as well as sympathy in these
meetings, and that our honest, warm-hearted Irish popu-
lation are the dupes of demagogues and swindlers—Irish
and American.
"Mr. William Mitchel, brother of the exiled patriot, is
at the Astor House, and, if I am not mistaken, hears a
great many fine promises, which will never be realized,
from gentlemen, who every time they go to the bar to
liquor take Bermuda—in a horn."
A meeting of the New York Irish Republicans assem-
bled at the Shakspere, on Wednesday evening last; but
the Sue says, that as the weather was unfavourable, the
attendance was small. The Irish Brigade visited the
meeting, and were loudly cheered. We have thus briefly
condensed all the leading meetings and incidents
that have transpired in relation to Ireland, since
the last steamer sailed, and would remark that, "as the
" Irish brigade" is now represented as leaving for Ire-
laud in small parties, it may be fairly inferred that there
is no longer any intention of getting up an expedition
against the Bermudas. The New Yorkers describe Mr.
Mitchel's brother as an amiable young man, and some of
the papers say that he visits this country on• important
business connected with Ireland, the promulgation of
which is not at present advisable." But others say, and
declare that they say so on good authority, that be means
to buy a farm for his brother John Mitchel, whom (they
add) the British Government will release from Bermuda,
on condition that he will remain permanently in the
United States, and agree not to return to Irelael
Luch arc the on dits of the day. We merely give them as
such, and no more.
" A Society of the Friends of Ireland" was formed at
Reading. Pennsylvania, a few evenings since. Most of
the speakers at the meeting, convened for the purpose,
were from Philadelphia. The New York Express, of
Thursday, copies the paragraph from the New York Sue,
in relation to the sailing of a portion of the Irish Brigade
for Ireland, and appends the following
" The delegation first mentioned did not sail as above
stated, in consequence of certain pecuniary difficulties in
relation to a draft for 2001. which they had received: but
will soon go. It may be possible that each fifteen com-
prises an officer, two non-commissioned officers, and
twelve privates, to which twelve undrilled Irishmen being
added, as chance may dictate, in Ireland, the number is
then raised to twenty-seven, just a good-siied platoon,
three of which will make a company of eighty-one men.
Thus, thirty of these platoons of fifteen, making a ske-
leton regiment of 450 men, sent all in small detachments
to Ireland, can be increased there to 810 men. At all
vents, whether they go thither as a military body or
not, they run the risk of arrest by the British Govern-
ment the instant of their arrival there. The British
Consul, beyond all doubt, has his eye upon these move-
ments. and keeps his Government well informed. What
fools!"

One of the New York papers "states that a deputation
from the Irish Republican Union of New York sailed
from Boston for Ireland in the steam ship," ou Wed-
nesday last. Doubtful! A portrait of John Mitchel
is about to be published under the supervision of a com-
mittee.

On Friday last the New York Express published an
editorial article, nearly a column in length, on the sub-
ject of the " Irish Brigade," in which it is stated that
portions of the Irish Brigade are going forward, and the
interposition of the United States Government is called
for, as being actually necessary under the circumstances.
This article has excited much attention, especially as it
points to the danger and humiliation of becoming in-
volved in difficulty and war with England, on a question
not American; and not by Americans, but by foreigners.
The writer strongly denounces the making of mischief
" between ourselves and a nation with whom wa are now
on the closest terms of friendship;" and adverts also to
the national honour in observing treaties. The Express,
both politically and commercially, is a journal i.f the
highest resrt etability, and doubtless foresees the peril of
these movements to peace and commercial confidence.
Still, we cannot help thinking that the entire matter
(.oretings and brigade included) had been magnified into
Jo. undue importance.
A meet in of quite a'different character was held in
this city on 64 turav eveuimr. at the Chinese :Museum;
te•it e• convened for the put pose of encouraging the
Chat Lists of Great Britain to achieve the liberties of the .
British peoph. Robert Tyler was called to the chair.
The ,tt,.,,,h,ne, was rot very large, and the speakers
and fliers were mostly Americans. Various resolu-
tions were ',greed to in conformity with the object of tho
nutting. It was then resolved to publish the proceed-
ings, and forward them to the "Chartist Executive Com-
mittee" in E,,gland.

POSTCIZIPT.
Another Irish meeting was held at the largo spec©
near Broadway, New York, which was formally Niblo's
garden.

JULY 5. ,
The meeting was very numerously attended-41
Irishmen, or nearly so. Robert Emmett was chairman,:
and the speakers were himself, Mr. Mitchel (brother of
John Mitchel, now ut Bermuda), Mr. Robinson, Mr.
Mooney, and others. The only points of novelty were
in the speech of Mr. Mitchel. Ile said, " the freedom of
Ireland is as inevitable as the next equinox." Also,
" the freedom of Ireland will be obtained soon after the
next harvest !" And he added, that although parties in
Ire!and were divided between moral and physical force
men, yet that both were agreed and unanimous in their
intentions to strike a blow for Ireland.

The object stated in the " call " for the meeting was
to collect a fund for Mrs. Mitchel, but the staging and
platform for the speakers '',ave way twice, which, having
created some confusion, the contributions were postponed
0, a future cceasion. Happily, no ono was hurt by tho
crash, or rather crashes of the staging. The attendance
of Americans was but small, the avemblage being
chiefly natives of Ireland.—Chronicle.

lIANOVER-SQURE ROOMS.

London (including Mesdames Dorus Gras and Anna
Thillon, and Signori Gardoni, Belletti, Colletti, ard
Sins Reeves), Ty ill have the honour of appearing, is

known in musical circles, whose knowledge and love of
art are only equalled by his kindness to artistes. In the
course of the morning two new ballads, from the elegant
Fen of Mrs. H. J. St. Leger, are to be sung for the first
time, one by Madame Anna Thillon, the other by Mr.
Sims Reeves.

interfered, and they were separated. :awn ever, a few
minutes had scarcely elapsed, when Scott had occasion to
leave the room, and while he was standing outside the

large clasp knife, inflicting a most serious wound in the
abdomen. A stream of blend immediately followed the
injury, and the poor man fell to the ground apparently
lifeless. In the meantime, Greenhill had effected his
escape, but an alarm being made the police were soon on
the spot, and in a short space of time succeeded in arrest-
ing him. The injured man was at once carried to the
