THE IRISH "TRAIroRs. The Meeting
at Faneuil Hall, Boston, on Monday evening, is
described as very large, respectable enthusiastic and
unanimous.
Gov. Boutwell, on taking the Char, addressed he
meeting as follows:
GENTLEMEN Having been invited by the Com
mlttee of Arrangements TO preside al TINS meeting,
and having sympathized with the views OF those no
sought the liberation of Ireland l have not felt al
liberty 10 decline the position so generously ten
dered to me. The object of this meeting, as under
stand It, is not only proper, but within the line OF ma
tional precedens, and, moreover, does no violence
TO the principle which should regulate the inter-
course of Independent nations
It is not necessary to aHagn the conduct oil Great
Britain. But rs propeTo say, that she has conhned
IN australia as prisoners Gish parrots ge 9u ot no
ueIter institutions, and improved form OF go,on-
ment And We may further say, that Great Britain,
in resisting proper changes, has depressed rather
than developed tie Irish character that her poiicy
tends to the depopulaon of Ireland, and that, under
the pressure of that policy, emigration has reached
the point when the further loss Of laborers will d.
mipish the resources Of the British empire. Nor do
need to forget that by nature Ireland Is alghy
favored country Her agricultural resources would
support IN comfort population oil elght or Ten NIL
lions Her water power alone rs sufficient for hall
the machinery Of England, While she has untold
wealth in her mines of iron and coal We cannot
therefore, escape the conclusion that brush poucy
has been high degree preJudcial to the interests
of Ireland.
But the purpose of this meeting is TO solicit the good
Offices of our own Government with that OF Great BILt
ain in behalf of the Irish prisoners IN Australia we
ask the release OF these men, because they nave SUI
fered enough whatever view may be taken OF their OF
tense we ask ii because Great Britain can grant the
request with entire safety to her own interests and
power we ask ii because she has herself partci-
pated in a similar movement IN Oenalf OF hossuth
and the Hungarian patriots confined IN Turkey we
might ask 1t in behalf OF England herself who will
need the synpathies and services OF the IRISH people
when she arrays her power against that Of Russlafor
the protection and Liberties OF Western Europe and
finally. We NAV ask it IN the name OF the American
people who desire to receive with equal hospitality
he exlled patriots of Ireland and OF Hungary
The meeting completely organized the city, so as
to procure the signatures OF all the citizens to the
memorial demanding the interference OF the l. :.
Government IN favor OF the exlled lrlsh cnIels

A Drunkard.

4 correspondent has addressed us letter
on the subject of Temperance III Connecticut
containing history of painful interest and most
useful warning. We would willingly publish
the letter. if It were confined to this story, Its
substance is this Early IN life the writer leif
Connecticut, leaving to an elderbrother th2 sup
port of their aged parents and young family.
By slow degrees that brother became I'D
dcted to drink. The rum.seller OF the village
where he lived was merchant and Justice or
the Peace ard we dare say a politician. From
being drinker he became drunkard, and from
that a sot. Parents and wife applied to the JUS
tice and besought him to refuse the young man
drink They begged in vain. Fortune ana nap
piness left their abode Most of the little faml-
ly circle was scattered, and its head and support
was an outcast. Nothing renamed 70 the pa
rental hearth but tears and ashes. Years pass
ed, and when the ruin OF the family was COM
plete the outcast drunkard took the temperance
pledge. Under its benign influence peace and
happiness descended on the old home, and the
family were restored, save the old couple, whom
weighty sorrows brought to the grave. The
Justice rum. seller
Had his own poisoned challce commended TO MS
lips
and he, too. had passed away. The writer says
he visited the patemal roof, and found quiet,
harmony, happiness and comfort there disturbed
only by the wfes fears that a groggery intro
duced recently to the nearest, Railroad depot
would once more bring desolation upon her
home and hopes Is there any appeal to the hui
mainly of the Legislators OF Connecticut more
irresistible than this woman's holy fears

LOLA MoxIxz-HER COMING DE. ATT M Two
OnAnAoszns.-Lela Montss Tr.skss her Debut. a
ths Broadway theatre, Oh .donday evening next Al
ready, many Of the best seats are engaged and the
highest prices are offered for those that rem ain; but
the shrewd manager has refused to let any more by
private sale, and on Saturday they will be sold by
auction to the highest bidder. We know not who
the parties are who show sueh an anxiety 10 see
the Bavaran Countess, but it is very probable they
will turn out to be the Goldfish arstocracy It would
not be bad speculation for Genin to purchase the
first choice seat, in despite Of the supper ten" It
might prove as good q speculation as the s225 he
paid for the FIRST Jenny Lind ticket or the frst sub.
scription of 81 900 to Louis Kossuth.
We publish, to-day, the first Of series (night
the frst) Of three papers, headed Three Evenings
with Lola Montez," which will no doubt give
fresh whet and keeuer edge to the desire of the
fashionable uptown ooteries to see her legs and
feet, which, We are informed, are "of an Anda-
lusian dminutveness and beauty, with the high
Arabian instep, betokening blood" and all the
other particulars of her person, described by some
genius, whose lucubrations, though very silly, are
very amusing to read-senseless productions being
often very interesting and very funny, like N. P.
Willis's descriptions of Lady Bessington and her
IatnlOnaDle cOterles.
The appearance Of Lola Montez at the Broadway
theatre, as dansetse, will create a sensation of
some kind-we know not what it is till the night
comes. But she is about to make another appear
ance, and in another character, which will
cause a still greater excitement MIR. Roux,
of whose contract with her in Paris our readers are
already aware, is about to bring an actisn against
her for breach of it, and meditates the seizure of
her funds. But he has come into the wrong coun-

There is more gallantry in the United States than
in all the nations Of Europe put together, where a

vocase, without the assistance of any attorney or

devil of woman-pleading her own cause, and by
her tact and adroitness beating the whole of the
lawyers of the other SEX employed both sides in
the Forrest case She will quote "4th WENDELL
much bette: than John Van Buren, and the new
Code be tier than OConor. The case will probably
come before Judge Oakley, who has o clear head,
and most discriminating judgment and capacity
in deciding in al cases where beautiful woman is on
the taps.
The charming Lola will make her debut in the
Brosdway theatre on Monday; but her debut in
court will net take place before another week.
Meantime, those who want to see her first appear
anoe as o daase1sse, had better look out for the
ticket auction on Saturday It will be q rare
scene.

Musical MATTERS IN NEW YoRK- CArHExINs D
HAYES AND JNNy LINN. Tho two principsy
musical artists in concert now both in the city
Catherine Hayes and Jenny Linds In Phllsdebs,
pkis there was great rivalry between them, and
according to the newspapers Of that city, Mis-
Hayes brought larger houses than the other vocal
ist. IT is said the contest between tAem has
had its effect upon the temper of both. IN point
OF beauty and temper, however, the Irish Swan,
as she s called, has the advantage of the Nightn.
gale, though the latter, in garnums opinion, has
higher reputation as an angel. The rivalry at:
Philadsphia will be continued here, and both voa.
caliss like pair Of canary BIRDS will do their ut
most to excel eaeh other in popular favor. We
hope they will not sing themselves to death. After
Catherine Hayes concludes her three nights, Jenny
Lind comes on, and in six concerts will close her
campaign in this country, and then take her fight
to Europe, leaving the Swan behind, to enjoy q
monopoly of the American musical world till some
other bright, particular star" from the East
rises in Western hems phere, and either ecpse
the Irish vocalist or divides the glory with her..
1t is believed that the present mana gers of Cathe
rine Hayes and Jenny Lind's concerts are not by
any means such Napoleons as Barnum, the former
manager of Jenny Lind. Notwithstanding all his
humbug, he was a very efficient man of busi-
ness, and worth all the managers Of the pre-.
sent day, put together in bunch And this Is
the opinion of Catherine Hayes herself, who is a
very sensible, good natared lady, and shinks Bar
mum the greatest manager of the age-a man who
knows how to fill house and draw high prices
better than the whole batch of bungling managers
with whom it has been her misfortune to be entan-
ged AID fettered, ever since she set her foot upon

stay in tie mines was sufficient to satisfy
them with labor. and a rush was made TO
trade. The consequence has been what
might have reasonably been anticipated.
Too many engaging in any pursuit must

TIE TRUR lssUE--LET NO FRIEND OF
NlFoRM MISTAKE IT.---Te Sandusk,
Mirror, is raising the Democratic State
ticket 10 the hend Of its columns, nnC
makes the following just remarks on Inc
great issue now before the people o.
Ohio:
"The Democratic State Convention o
the 9Th inst, have nominated series o
candidates all Of whom supported The
New Constitution, and are faithful to the
reforms embodied in that instrument
They present claim TO our supper,
which we recognize by inserting the
ticket in our columns. From the mo
ment that The Whghs, by their choice &c
candidates, exhibited determination tc
place the first execution OF the consti-
tuition in the hands, of men, who had
been most embittered in their hostility to
its .adoption,we have entertained and
expressed the desire that the Democra.
tic party would accept the issue, and no,
embauass,by erroneous and inconsideraie
positions upon national policy, the vote
which is now 10 be taken upon the final
adoption ofthe Constitution"
The Mirror is correct-the vote oI
the people on the 2nd Tuesday of DC.
tober next, is the test vote on The "fnal
adoption" Of the New Constitution
Place that instrument in the hands ol
the enemies Of reform, and it viii be a
virtual rejection Of the instrumen, itself.
The opponents of the New Constitution
understand this will, and hence they are
striving, with vigor deserving better
cause, 10 fill every important post in the
State with those who have fought every
inch of ground against lis adoption -
This, is their last dying effort 10 oppose
the people in their efforts at reformation.
AS they have been heretofore, they must
now be met at every point, by the friends
ofthe New Consttution--by the friends
Of equal taxafion-by tho friends of true
equality of rights--by the masses, fight.
ing against monopolies, and the victory
is complete. III & Il.
No friend of the reforms OF the New
Constitution, can look idly on, in such a
contest, or cast his vote at random. -
