IRISH RRrEAL IN The UNITED STATES.-Slnce the
reception in this country of the Eews of Mr.. O'Con-
nells arreEt, and OF the dispersion OF the Clontar;
Meeting, there have been held several meetings 10
consider the subject, in Boston, New York, Albany
Philadelphia, Newark, and few other places.
The meeting in this city was fair sample OF the
others about 1900 were present, almost exclusively
OF the lower classes of the lrsh attracted thilher
more from curiosity than from enthusiasm, or even
ympahy.
The burden offeeling expressed at these meetings
has been the continued wrongs OF Ireland, her right
" sell government, and the oppression of the British
Ministry.
The interest in the Repeal question is on the de-.
cline, and will shortly come TO a close. O'Connell's
bottoms upon slavery will kill the movement Alto
Sether In the southern States and there is too much
sisaclty and sound policy among leading men Of
character at the North 10 raise an issue upon the
subject here.
But check, if not final seal, has been put upon
these movements by the new American Repubi
can party that has lately sprung up here like
Minerva from the head OF Jupiter, in full growth
and complete panoply. The strongest vote ever
thrown by the Irish. even when led on by Bishop
Hughes upon The School question, was about 5000
But this new and anti Irish party have, at the cleo
ZION that has taken place here since the arrival of
the late news from England, thrown nearly 5000
votes; and they will control the city at the next
charter election. The history of Repeal in the
United States, may be read in the history of Troy
-FMt iGum.
TROUBLE AMONG THE SAILORS AeAN.-Troubles
aever cease among this hardy race. They are
knocked about like so many empty wooden buck
ttson the Atlantic in a gale OF wind. We were
called upon Yesterday by a dozen Of them,
including the member from Clare" who
had been thrown penness and breechesess upon
shore BY the destruction Of the steam frigate Mis-
souri,. Some Of these left their names, winch we
give:-
Geo W. Thompson. quarter gunner; Matthew Lawson,
frederick Park do Charles Hart coal hrav John
man. fireman; and John STAIN the Member from Clare"
chie' boatswain's mate.
These sailors called upon us to state that they, in
common with all the seamen attached to the Mis-.
sour when she was burne |, were treated badly,
and were not sent home as they should have been.
They stated that the clothes purchased were sold to
them at exhorbant prices that they were peli ct.
ly useless, having been made of such poor materi-
al that many lost coats and pants in every gale Of
wind; that they were made TO pay ST. for misera.
bic blue flannel shirts, 81 so for as bad pea
coats, and 81 so TO 81 80 Tor worse breeches -
A these things were worth about one half what
they had to pay for them, and what the wind did not
blew away they threw away on their arrival here
They also stated that their passage here in the
kdjah. so many were hu1dled together, that they
were compelled TO sleep on the bare deck, with
heaven for coverlid and boards for mattrass,
and that two months grog money was stopped by
The purser's clerk, whose name we have forgotten.
These statements were given to US by the above
named seamen for facts. They said they would
back them up with their affidavits This being the
case we publish them without comment
