| (NIr Porter was ready to receive them. Mr.. Mea-
| CHER then rendered as bail, Arthur James Ireland
and William O'EIara, as his recognizances.
The parties then retired from the police office, the
cheering and the accumulation OF the people being
| in very great degree increased. They proceeded
to the councilroom of the confederation in D'Oer
street, opposite the Dublin Library. From the
windows of those confederation rooms, Mr. 0 Brien
addressed the assembled multitude. His harangue
was however, all recOmmendatory of the fOrgetful-
ness of all differences among repeaears and the
necessity of union and determination. His allu-
sion to the offer of Messrs OConnell to be of his
bail were loudly applauded.
Mr.. Mitchell then presented himself at the win
dow: but so eager were the crowd to hear him,
that mot adopting the safer movement of Mr..
O'Bren, who put one leg through the window,
holding with his hand,) he compelled to
stand outside on the ledge under the window, being
held from within by the skirts of the coat. He was
received with deafening cheer. He commenced
by telling the people that the affair of that day had
not frightened him in the least. He had been held
to bail for writing certain ~seditous articles He
would inform the English authorities that he would
do again. He had been accused of exciting
'discontent against the English enemy. To be
sure-and he would do SO again and again. If to
speak the minds of the Irish people seditious,
there should be plenty of i-and stronger speaking,
too, it might be, than they dream of. But the peo
pie should stand by them. If they did, they were
invulnerabe. He, and those who acted with him,
demanded that support, which they would neither
ask nor deserve if they were capable of fnching.
Cheering If the people saw the slightest ten
dency In them to shrink, let them hurl them from
their poslton-drive them forever from the path of
citizenship. Let the people all ue-all unite
all stand closely up at the back of the movement,
and they would succeed in banishing from Ireland
the English Government, which usurped the rule Of
this country Mr.. Mitchell Withdrew amidst tre-
mendous cheering. All the time he had been speak
ing thick rain was descending, but not one ofthe
multitude stirred.
Mr.. Meagher then presented himself, and was
received with immense acclamatlons He, also,
got out the ledge beneath the window, and
spoke for few moments bareheaded but the rain
descended so heavily that he was requested to put
his hat. He expressed himself as not by any
means inundated or annoyed by the occurrence
that day in the English Governments office in
Dame street. He was ready to meet them in the
Queens Bench, or in still wider field. Loud
cheering. There would i'll these state trials be
of the attributes of former ones-no shrinking
or attempts to render the accusation less heavy or
the responsibility more light. No, all would be
enunciated in the teeth of Judge and jury, and to
the very beard of the English viceroy, If they
willed. But the people should stand by them.
[Cries of "we will--we will, - and loud cheer
ing.I Let them who hold their monster meetings
beneath the bright eye of heaven now recollect
their pledge, and never more render such assem-
blages abortive. See what had been done in Vien-
ma, as brought by that mornings mail. An unarmed
people precipated themselves on the bayonets, and
into the yawning muzze of the tyrants artillery.
One yoley-the people lall-some two hundreds are
wounded some twenty Killed. rush, and the day
is won! Vienna is now in the hands of the people.
Immense cheering After some other remarks,
Mr.. Meagher withdrew, amidst repeated plaudits.
Mr.. Richard German, Jr., addressed the people,
telling them there should be shrinking for that,
though the prison and the scaffold should be
the lot of some, others there were, full many, to
occupy their place. Mr.. German concluded by
requesting the vast assemblage to retire in peace
and order to their houses.
Mr.. Doheny next addressed the meeting. He
told them of the great assembage he had attended
in Manchester, and assured them that not drop
of blood would be shed in Ireland which would not
be revenged in England. He called upon all Irish
men 10 unite-for by union, fraternity and courage,
they would prevail and overthrow their oppressors.
The assemblage shortly afterwards separated,
the rain still continuing.
