The scene vas full Of interest. We regret
that we have not room for the spirited and ad
mirable addresses of the evening. Mr.. X. G.

the meeting to carry out the true American
| spirit which was ever alive TO the movements Tor
freedom in the old world, and 10 give substan
tial evidence Of our sympathy for gallant Ire
land, many Of whose sons had illustrated the page
OF our own history TIE next steamer he trusted
would bring brighter prospect for Irish liberty.
Mr.. w. F. Watson gave a very inerestn g
and impressive sketch Of the grieyous wrongs
under which Ireland labored; and hi, glowing
picture Of the natural sympathy between tho
Irish and American heart was warmly received.
MIR j. Fl Gilmer made brief but eloquent
address. He regarded the result Of the meeting
as a certain sign that the cause in which we
were engaged was righteous and holy one !.
Mr.. A. J. Crane, in introducing his beautiful
