THOMAS FRAscis MEAobER. We
had yesterday, the accidental pleasure
Of meeting the escaped Irish patriot, the
young and eloquent Meagher, The
personal description we published Of
him from our cotemporaries, day or
two since, WAS not correct one. He
is much younger looking than we had
supposed. His appearance would indi-
cate man about 25 years Of age, not
corpulent as has been stated, but OF
medium height, strong, compact frame,
large, well formed head, finely set, a
sparkling, mild eye, and n countenance
alternating in colors between the roy
and sun Drowned. In short man with
strong Hibernian bondy charac teristics,
though his features and voice are iar
less marked that way. His voice is soft
full, rather OF the tone called "afiected,"
though there is no aiIectation in Mr..
Meaghe,'s speech or manner. He
speaks with dellbera,ion, but clearly,
fluenlly and to the point.
MIR. NJ. is no egotist-vanity and con-
ceit have no part with him. He has es-
capped from bondage and is proud to
stand upon our free soil, under the folds
OF our starry flag, and the protection Of
our laws. He has come among us
from his captivity not beggar hut TO
dwell in our tents, 10 practice his pro-
iession, the Law in our midst, and to
share our independence and hospitality.
His father is man OF large wealth.
Mr.. Meagher married in Van DIE.
man Land, and his " iie will no doubt
soon rcjoin him here. He speaks high
ly of the soil and climate he has JUS,
lett, and expresses deep sympathy with
the free English colonists there. who,
he says, are full OF the spirit Of liberty,
preparing in due time to take their
place = among the nations"
A meeting is 10 be held at the Astor,
preparatory to apublic reception Of the
young patriot, That he will grace his
honors we have iull faith from what we
have seen Of him. He does not cx-
aggerate his position. When assured,
yesterday, that honors would be paid
To him and his compairiots he replied,
- would TO God we had done something
worthy Of il - He feels that idle show
and reclamation are not the true busi-
ness OF patriots.
In reference to Kossuth and others,
he expressed himself in sympathy with
all who struggle for liber'y-that he
deprecated dissension among men
battling in the same great and sacred
cause. Speaking Of patriotic associa-
tions among the CsIsnisis he had left
so abruI lly, he exclaimed, they, too
are atEirst for freedom, and thus, from
both poles rises the song Of libcrty--the
music ofhumanity." MIR. Meagher has
won his tame chiefly as an orator--as
the Emmett OF the last Irish struggle.

a New KIND Or BRicK.--A new spe-
Gle Of brick, called the Chicago bricks,
is about being introduced as building
material in the city oi New York. 1t is
OF a beautiful cream color, and it 10
said will retain its color as long as the
brick lasts. These bricks are made in
Milwaukee, sconsin, Gent to Chicago,
Illinois, and thence transported, princi-
palIy by railroad to New York. The
New York Journal Of Commerce says:
" They are very frequently ordered
for fine buildings in Buffalo, Chicago.
and other cities. Their color arises
from peculiarly Of the clay. They
ATE SO durable as to furnish an excellent
substitute for stone, where the latter
material is scarce, in laying foundations
for buildings"

The Money Market is assuming an

relation to the low prices OF money. All
uncertainty respecting the stability Of
the present abundance is fast vanishing
from the public mind. The position OF

OF England, as is exhibited by the las,

place for another of my recollections. which
may prove attractive to such of your rea-

and her fascinating novels for such they
were, in their day, though they might APP
pear otherwise to the utilitanan spirit OF
the present age. But there are many OF us
who can remember the Wild Irish Girl, the
Missionary, the Minstrel, and O'Donnell,
ofthis agreeable authoress, with pleasure;
If not for their literary merit, as recalling a

A HINT WORTH REMEMBERING.-We
find the following paragraph in the Daily
Sun, and, whether original or selected
there, transfer it to our columns, for the
benefit of all who need the advice =
"No man should be delicate about asking
for what is properly his due. If he neg
lects doing so, he is deficient in that spirit
of independence which he should observe
in all his actions. Rights are rights,and, if
not granted, should be demanded. The
selfish world is little Inclined to give one
his own, unless he have the manhness to
claim it. The lack of the proper fuldllment
of this principle has lost to many fortune,
fame, and reputation"
