The meeting at Drc

lieda. on Monday, turns the in

preparations of the Worse Guards into a comedy, and the
ma,gisterial proceedings of Chancery into a farce. Neither
the marching order nor the supersedeas has had the blight est
effect upon the a
:itation, saving to add to the audacity of the

leaders, and to increase the income of the revolutionary ex
chequer. We must resort to our usual method of summary•

THE LINE OP MARCH.—Grand marshal of the day ; body
of horse; Navan band; labourer's banner, followed by the
Nobber band ; Kells band; trades' marshal ; four bodies of
trades, each preceded by its appropriate banner; Colton
band, similarly followed 23albrixgfur band. similarly fol-
lowed ; Dunleer hand, similarly followed ; Trim band, simi-
larly followed ; Kells hand. body of horsemen ; officers of

corporation in carriages! [their first appearanee ] ; mem-
hers of town-council, and aldermen in carriages : [their first
appearance] ; the liberator's carriage.

THE CONQUERING HERO

After about twenty minutes' delay the liberator, and the
gentlemen who acco►npanied him, proceeded to the platform,
where he was receive►i with the most enthusiastic cheers.

PHYSICAL FORCE—FORMING INTO SOLID SQUARE.
" The sight at this time was most imposing. The mall,
in front of the platform, and on either side, was crowded by
150,000 persons—beyond them the shipping lay witl► flags
and streamers flying, the trades' banners interspersed the
vast crowd, and at the various ends the several bands. whose
lofty notes were drowned in the shouts of the multitude."
This estimate of numbers \which is taken from the Dro-
gheda Aryus) falls 20,000 short of the Freemarex calculation,
which states the numbers at 170,000. We may as well
despatch the raw material at once, by stating THE RENT
received at £l5O and upwards ; and forth apply ourselves to
those cooked and dressed up for THE DINN Ea, at which the
purple marksmen, each with his titular prefixed, were there
in the spirit only. Letters of apology were read from five
right reverends ; and a letter apologetic from the private
secretary and domestic chaplain of that right rev. marksman
Doctor HlGGlNS—excused his absence in the body.
Sir Wm. Somerville, M.P., declined by letter the honour
of sharing in either the ante or post-prandial disaffeclion of
the day ; but his absence was compensated for by the bodily
presence of the county member for Meath—Mr. Henry Grat-
tan—not the immortal—from whose speech we extract the
following bit of Hannibalism :
"What have our tethers done, that we should be treated
with such indifference, and despised and insulted as we are ?
Is it because that they had the manliness to strike off those
fetters which degraded them ?—(hear.) There is the• rub. Our
fathers would not submit to remain in slavery, and we are to
be oppressed in consequence. I beg to tell Englishmen (if
there be any of them here)-1 pledge my word, and that of
my children, and the word of my friends—and they are nu-
merous—and the words of their children—that we will never
submit to what we are enduring, and what they have in store
for us—(tremendous cheers.) What they want is war; yes,
I repeat it, and I trust the press will take it down, that the
English want nothing hot war with us. I have the letter at
home in my desk which was written to me from the House of
Commons ; ves, they want to let loose the troops upon us,
and to send over the marines to slaughter or to put us down
from meeting as we do—(hear. hear.)"
We therefore conic to Mr. TOM Steele's harangue,
