ANOTHER ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING.
Contributions Pouring In.
&c. &c. &c.

Pursuant TO notice, the friends of human free
dom held another meeting, at Vauxhall Garden, in
this city, last evening, for the purpose of collecting
money, for the assistance of the people of Ireland
IN their struggle with the naughty, insolent, and
upstart monarchic arstocracy Of England. 1t was
not expected that the assembage would be so large
as others that have convened there on similar oc-
caslons, on account of the lack of confederation of
the exciting news which was recently published in
this country, announcing that a serious conflict
had taken place between the Irish people and the
English troops, in which the former were trium-
plant; still The large room of Vauxhall was crowd
ed to overlooking, and spirit that could not or
would not comprehend the possibility Of an Irish de-
feat animated the assemblage The contributions
sir the meeting Monday last, together with the
Of the evening" amounted to the large
sum Of four thousand dollars and upwards, consider
able portion Of which transmitted from distant
places. few minutes after the time appointed, Is
o'clock) the meeting was called to erder JAMES w.
WHITE, Esq, was appointed Chairman, and Messrs.
RICHARD 5. EMMETT, c. A. SHEA, G. DAVIS, and A.
CLARK, Secretaries.
On taking the chair, Mr.. WHITE said that he would
state to all who engaged in this, which he hoped
will be successful cause that there very intense
interest attached to it at the present time. The
movement for Irish independence has we know, COM
mepced. We have received many accounts which
conflict in a most extraordinary manner to the
circumstances that had taken place the other side
of the water previous the sailing of the last steam
ship and he hoped and believed that they will be
satisfactorily cleared up We shall very soon have in
tellgence, which will afford us indications as to the
true condition OF matters there 1t is very difficult,
yea it is almost impossible, in the present state OF
matters in Misunderstanding into consideration the
means employed by government to keep us and the
Ireland, to keep the people Of part Of Ireland
in ignorance of what occurs in another part is al
impossible to ascertain what Is the true and
tual state of affairs in country. We have had
counts from there, which, If could place reliance
on them, are OF most cheering character; and, on
the other hand We have had accounts emanating
from Englishmen, and from paid agents OF the English
government in which the grossest Misrepresentation,
and the most insulting and ridiculous statements
have been made respecting the conduct Of the Irish
people These latter accounts bear on their face in
dubitabe evidence of falsehood; and although the
Irish directory cannot spy, and never have said,
that full reliance 'be placed the IA
vorable accounts which have been received, aud
which calculated to cheer the hopes of the friends
Of Ireland, yet do say that there is strong ground
for hoping that they have foundation in fact and
that the spirit Of resistance to oppression has been
successful in conaict with the forces Of the govern
ment Much appause) A great deal has been said
in the newspaper press, of character hostile to our
cause and hostile to the progress of free principles
but the character OF the Intelligence received is favor
able to our hopes for Ireland. (Cheers) In some
of those statements imputatons thrown out that
the etter published in the Tribune was manufactured
here ia New York for but he the speaker
had seen that etterthe Irish directory had examined
carefully and 1t does implicitly believe that it was
genuine letter. (Great a7plause) He would far
Their say on the part OF the directory on this
there can be no doub, as to the genuineness of that
letter. STILL the details could be more than rumors
which were ahoat in Dublin among the people there,
at the time when it written and that the reports
which it contains found believers among the people
there. (Applause) We have never said more than
this-hat the prevalence OF such reports was encour
nuin md hah had hnn hat fharo
would bring to us cheering intelligence that the peo
pie up and in conflict with the government
forces, and that the contest in which they
gagged would be successful. At all events, shall
soon be informed as to the truth Of those reports
For self cannot help entertaining the conviction,
after careful examination OF all the crcuni TIA noes,
and all the intelligence that has to hand, that
that the people Of Ireland resisting the
and that they making attempt to achieve the
indepe ndence of their native land. Great pp,ause)
The accounts from the other side contain mach as
induces to believe they gross msreprese
The English newspapers filed with accounts that
sub-inspector Trant and forty policemen have sup
pressed the rebellion Ind yet the very latest accounts
by electric telegraph show that large bodies Of troops
were moving from one point to another-that they
were cut up with fatigue-that they obliged to
sleep on their arms; and yet they would have be-
lieve that the attempt of the people of nd to
achieve their indepe had been suppressed in
this manner Taking all those circumstances into
consideration. and another which ind stated in the
that the barrack Of Cashe had been taken by the peo
ple and large number of the police killed II say,
taking all tAosc circumstances in connection, we
have Inducements from all sides to believe
that the people have taken the stand, which, |
as patriotic people they ought to take under the
Gil circumstances in which they are placed. We have
hope and place full faith in the success of the
exertons which the people Of Ireland ,king and
trust that the intege nee which we shall soon re.
ceive, will Justify those hopes and that the of
the cause OF Ireland and Of liberty will be ndubi-
tally proved as to render it impossible to damp the
al dor Of their friends here.I
