THOMAS r.. MEAGHER.

Below We publish an extract from lhe
speech Of Thomas F. Meagher, the ir''h ra-
iriot Exile, who recently escaped from Van
Dieman's Land, in reply 10 the Comm'''ee OF
the New York Common Counril, tending him
the hospitali,ies Of the city which he modest.
Iv declined. The extract is tribute TO our ]
beloved country:
aThe moment we set our foot upon her
shore we behold the offspring Of Freedom
ihs energy, the thrift, the opulence to which
che has given birlh--and at a glance, we
comprehend her fruitfulness, utility, and
splendor We behold the wonders she has
wroueh,-ihe de(ormed transformed-ihe
crippled Colony sprineing into the robust pro.
portions of an Empire which Alexander
nigh, well have sighed TO conquer-,he ad.
venturous spiri, Of her sons compensa'ing 10y
lis rapidiiy. in little more than a half centn-
~, for the thousands Of years in which the
land lay s,ill in the shadow Of the ancient
foiests-wc behold all this, and the worship
Of our youth becomes more impassioned and
profound. To this land ] came, as an out
law TO claim The protection of flag that is
inviolab!e. By one of the wisest and mild
est Of the ancient Legislators il was dccreed,
that all those who were driven from their
own country, should be admitted into the
citizenship of Athens. On the same ground,
in virtue Of the sense Of perpetual bani-h-
ment which excludes me from my native
land, | sought the quiet sanctuary in the
home of WASHINGTON To no other land
could the heart which has felt the rude hand
of tyranny, so confidently turn for serene
repose. Long may she prosper-con'inuing
faithful to The inheritance left her by The IA.
theirs of the republic. Long may she pros
per-galhering into the bosom of her grea
family the children Of all nalions-adding t'
her territory, not by the swo'd of the soldier
or the subl,eiy OF the statesman, but by the
diffusion of her principles, and the conso
nance of her simple laws and institutions
with the good sense and purer aspiration
Of mankind. Long may she prosper-eacl
year adding 10 her stock of strength and hisl
above her countless fleets and cities, even I,
the last generation, may the monument o
her liberty be deserted In the darkes
storms which shakes the thrones and dynas
Ties of The old world, may it stand unscalhed
In the darkest night which falls upon tn
arms OF struggling people, may it shin
forth like the cross in the wilderness and b
TO them an emblem Of The hope and sigma
of salvation"

DREADFUL CAsUALlry.-A man named
Aaron Banta was killed on the Ramapo
Railroad, near Sandy Hill, on Friday, and
the people OF Patterson, N. j., are much
excited about the manner of his death.
Banta and his wife were in the cars, and he
either refused entirely to pay his fare
claiming free passage because he had for
mery worked on the road, or he had not
sufficient money to pay. The conductor,
therefore, turned him out, and as il is stated,
while the cars were in motion, so that
Banta was severely bruised. He lay on until
the next train came, and ii passed over him,
cutting of both legs at thighs, so that he
died Immediately. On the return of the
train, the conductor was arrested and i'm
prisoned. Another report, however, says
that he has absconded.- -.Newark .Adp.

was perpelraied in this county, al Ki,,anning
Point, OH Sunday night. A shoemaker ma.
med James Robinson, having LOST his wife,
made preparations to leave for New York
on Monday. But on Sunday night, himself
and lille son, aged three years were cruelly
murdered, while asleep in bed. A man
named William Tracy, had purchased his
.hanty and was sleeping mp stairs. The
coroner's inquest found that the axe iha, had
struck the fatal blow, was afterwards used
to batter the door and windows. Altogether,
Tracy's evidence was so vague and contra
iictory that he was arrested and committed.
Appearances are very strong against him
Robinson was known TO possess some four
hundred dollars, and to wrest this pallry sum
from him, himself and poor little innocen,
con were usheTed into eternity. J.J.

FrREs.-No less than three alarms of fire

FIREs.--No less than three alarms of fire
were sounded in the city yesterday afternoon:
The first was occasioned by the burning of
a chimney attached to dwelling house near
the western termination of Grace street-no
damage sustained.
The second, which occurred abouthalf past
six O'Clock, was caused by an incendiary, who
fired a stable belonging to Mrs. hutchinson
situated on 2nd, between Main and Franklin
streets. The brilding sustained some injury but
the Firemen succeeded in arresting the flames
before they obtained the mastery, combustlble
as were the materials on fire.
The third alarm, which followed closed up
on the heels of the second was produced by the
destruction of building on Richmond Hill,
believed to be beyond the limits of the corpora
