The adjourned meeting OF the Irish Repeal
AssOciation,' last evening, at Washington
HalI.-Less talking and more cash.
The muster, last evening, evidenced that good
deal of the steam had been let off by the previous
evenings proceedings AT the time the meeting
was organized, there were not as many hundreds
present as there were thousands on the previous
night. Their conduct was much cooleI-there
was not that anxiety to bring out the needtul.
In the musicians gallery, opposite the platform,
were seated some of Ems tair daughters, and
their friends evidently much pleased as TIE pro-
ceedlngs progressed. Aoouth hall past eight O'Clock
it was proposed that Gregory Dillon, ESD, lake
the chair, which was accordingly done. The
Secretary, Bartholomew O'CCnner, Esq, read the
minutes OF the eedngs Of the previous evenl 2,
together with the resolutions alluded 10 IN our pa
per OF yesterday, anu at the conclusion, annonhced
that the amouat subscribed, the previous evening,
was p ,O72 20. THIS announce ment Was received
with loud and continued cheering. The secretary
then read list OF subscriptions winch he had
received subsequently with Cheering III pr portion
to the sum subscribed. The "Ieceiver General"
Langton, then got on the platform, and called upon
all good friends to stand back. aud make room tor
all those who had any money to subscribe to APP
proach the platform, which was promptly obeyed
and as before, Fortunes purse might have been
again opened. Langlon said that he should begin
with ''the ladies tirst-God bless lhem," and pro-
ceeded accordingly TO read list OF such as had
handed their subscriptions to him, which were re-
ceved, II possible, with more enthusiasm than any
other. Then came forward numbers OF persons with
different sums many OF them apparently only la
bOreIs, presented at what they no doubt thought
the altar OF liberty, their five, and some ten, dol
lars each, when all the apparel their backs were
not worth the same amount, and many who had
subscribed the previous evening, repeated their
subscriptions on this occasion, aud some OF them
for the 4th, 5h 9th and 7th time. About nine
O'Clock the room was pretty we'll hlled, and the
cash to the cxchequer appeared to increase with
the attendance. A jolly Irish tar came forward
an nTpS "A he
could then afford, but In addition they should have
asong-a good old Irish song from good and true
freshman. To the song Just then there was some
objection, as the needu was flowing in, and II was
thought IL would be pity to stop the tide even for
music. The Jolly tar did not like this, and over
hauled his pockets and found therein solitary
cent, which he also presented, but still wanted 10
sing, and finding ne could not get the permission oil
the officer, proceeded TO sing the "Harp OF Erln,
lot in the most melodlous style, but the dc hcency
of sweetness was made up by strength OF lungs
The Chairman, alter some vain endeavors, stopped
the song but his tarship not then TO be sllenced
but held up his hand, and showed those around HIM
the mark at the back OF II OF shamrock stained III
the manner peculiar TO seamen, and called upon
those around to bow at this shrine. In the MEAN
while Langton pursued his avocations with the
greatest assidulty, and seemed to have enough 10
do for upwards Of an hour: person OF the name
OF Thomas Whelan came forward and presented a
sovereign, excalming, " Damn the tyrants-let us
pay them In their own coin" After an hour and
halt 8 amusement IN this way, slight pause took
place, and there were loud cries OF Wallace,
Wallace" but that gentleman was not present
The Secretary then said that the gentlemen on the
platform were more inclined TO work III receiving
| money, than to Ialk--the former was now more
essary and would tell more eiiectuGlly, than ali
the speaking than tongue could utter. Here the
tar again pressed forward and wished to sing his
song, saying he DESTROYS to go on board Of hls
ship, and could not wait. However, Jack was put
on one side and M b. OConuor, the Secretary,
proceeded TO address the meeting amid loud ano
long continued cheers.
