Colonel MAMMA. followed Lord MASSY, but his re-
marks, with those of the other speakers, we must neces-
sarily, at this late hour, reserve to our next. •
Every Resolution was carried without a, single dis-
sentient voice.
Before • the Committee separated, upwards of 200
guineas subscription were paid down in the sroom.
After the several resolutions had been put and car-
ried, thanks returned to thelloble Chairman, and that
the Meeting was declared dissolved, Mr. Steele, the
'Agitator, pressed into the room, with his coat buttoned
up, concealing his green ribbon of the Order of Libe-
rators; but as soots as that was discovered, it is only
necessary to say that he was decently termed oat, as unfit
to associate with itch' an assemblage of rank and re-
spectability, who would not sanction such unlawful
exhibitions. After he was obliged to retreat be betook
himself to one of the corn carts, which blocked up the
street, and having mounted it, he took of his hat, dis-
played his green ribbon, dashed about his hands, and
stamped like a maniac. He was then addressing a
mob that had collected, upon which the Mayor of Li-
merick immediately went to the car and pulled him
down, declaring he was a violator of the peace, and as
such would hold him a prisoper. The police quickly
dispersed the mob, under the directions of his Worship.
At this late hour we cannot say more upon the sub-
ject of his arrest; and what the ultimate result may be
it is not our province to state—but clearly, from what
we have heard, he has committed himself; and if the
Government desire an example to be made of an agi-
tating demagogue, they have now the materiel for doing
so—and with theta we leave the mater.—Lissereck

Mem, Oct. EL
The Irish Government has now an opportunity, as
our contemporary, the Limerick Chroorick, very pro.'
party remarks, of showing its power, and roving the'
:efficiency of the laws, as they stand, for the preserva-'
tion of the public peace. Several letters have reached!
us this morning, detailing the transaction, which is
briefly noticed in the foregoing report.
The following are estracts:
" After the proceedings. of the Brunswick Club had
terminated, Mr. Steele, who had earned some notoriety
during the Clareeleition, rushed into the room, accom-
panied by some half dozen persons, Mr. Steele dia.]
played his green sash of the Order of Liberators, and
insisted on addreseing the Meeting. In vain did the
Noble Chairmar. (Lord Massy) inform him that the
meeting bad concluded its business and was dissolved.'
Mr. S eele became outrageous, and a mob began to col.
leer outside the place of meeting. The Noble Chairman
informed him that he m•ist nut create an opt oitr, and,
that it he did not take off his unlawful green badge that
he should leave the room; all remonstrance was in vain,
and he was then informed that he would be put out it
he did not retire. He then became very violent, and
endeavoured to create a riot in the room, when the
Mayor of Limerick'ordered him to be put out by force.
The order was no sooner given than executed, and in
one minute, both he and his associates were landed in
the street. Mr. Steele immediately got -upon a car,
Surrounded by many hundreds of an infuriated rabble,
outside the door of the house of meeting, and began to
address the mob thus.—' By the allegiance you owe'
the Catholic Association, whose representative 1I am,'
at the same time throwing open his coat, and displaying
his green sash—when the Mayor of Limerick rushed
into the multitude, and thus addressed. Mr. Steele—'
am surprised that you will wear that unlawful badge
in defiance of the 'Lord Lieutenant's Proclamation, and
ita the face of an timed multitude. I direct you, Sir,
to take it off.' This Mr. Steele refused. The Mayor
then seized him and pulled him down from the car, and
warned bier from collecting wcrowd, or appearing in
the streets with this tday/tut badge, for if he did he
would commit him. He was then conveyed by the mob
to an hotel in the city, in the rooms of which he has
been all day. The Government are, I hear by this post,
informed of the transaction, and the Protestants of
Limerick look with an eager eye to see if the Govern-'
meat will prosecute this man."
In the tome of the evening, Mr. Steele issued the
following inflammatory Proclamation, hundreds t f
which were disseminated throughout the city, which is
represented to as to be in a state of the greatest pogibk

" To the Catholics of Ireland. '
44 My Brothers-4 have been this day treated with outrage and
Milady personal violence, by the Brunswick Club of this City,
particularly by the Mayor of Limerick, Mr. Jervis.
" The very drat words I uttered when I addressed the crowd
of people iu the street. after having been assailed with personal
violence by several members of tie Club, particularly the Mayor,
were these:
" By Tose end's life, and by the ditty you owe your country,

" My Catholic Brothers, the noble -Odeon of limerick, those
trelypstrintic and enlightened men, obeyed the woke of their

The Mayor of Limerick is entitled to the greatest
praise for his manly and intrepid conduct upon the
occasion —Dublin Evening Mail.
