FOR THE TfMHst
MEAGHER, THE IRISH PATRIOT.
When thine eye is gladly beaming,
And thy lips doth wear smile
Say, doth thy heart not wander often,
Unto Erins Emerald Isle?
And turn with earnest longing,
To tread again her shore,
And wander mid the wildwoods
Of thy chadh0od's haunts once more?
know not, lonely Exile.
What thoughts rose in thy heart,
When from the land thou lowest.
Thou vert rudely forced to part
And cross the bi.lowy ocean,
To far and foreign land,
Where neither friend nor brother,
Perchance might clasp thy hand.
But, still brightly in the future,
The star Of hope doth burn,
And thther, Irish Patriot,
Let thine eye delight to turn
Let no cloud obscure its brightness.
Nor daunt thy heart so brave,
For the flag Of freedom yet shall float
Ger thy home beyond tho wave.

A Coalition MEETING BROKEN up.-A ludi-
crous scene occurred in Manchester, Mass last
evening, which quite eclipsed some of the scenes
in Dickens Barnaby Rudge A meeting OF
Democrats and Free Sellers was held at the
house of Captain ST. and Mr.. F. was called to
the chair. Among the speakers was Mr.. S.,
red hot "Anti Whig," who zeaIously urged
the importance of overhauing the Constitution.
When the speaker paused to take breath after
one ofhis flights of fancy, shri derisve whis-
tie was heard behind him. The orator turned an
inquiring look to the chairman, on whose face
urked smile. He proceeded with his remarks
but at the first pause, whistle was again heard
in the direction ofthe chairman, whose face was
stretched with broad grin. The speaker
frowned haughtiy and proceeded, but was again
interrupted with viii site peculiarly derisve
that his outraged feelings could stand it no
longer.
Turning to the chairman whose sides were
shaken with laughter he fercey shook his fist
in bis face, and exclaimed, ..Sir I did not come
here to be insuted If you was down to my
house. would throw you through the side Of
the house," Mr.. s.. having thus vented his in
dgnation, made his exit, followed by shrill
aohe,o! from Parrot, whose cage hung over the
head of the chairman. 1t is hardly necessary to
add that the meeting was broken up in confusion

HON. WILLARD FILLMORE

n.
On the evening of the Inauguration. n latter
numerously and exclusively signed by citizens of
Washington, was handed Mr.. Fillmore, exnres.
sing desire on the part of the citizens, to wait
upon him at the point of his departure from the
city, Tor the purpose of expressing their admira.
ton Tor him as man, aud their sense of his pub
tic services. To this letter Mr.. Fillmore rs
turned suitable reply, and upon his departure
South the wharves of Washington will present n
scene which has rarely. if ever been euualled in
this country. We regret to learn, as we do from
the lntelligencer' that the indisposition of a
memberof his family has thus far prevented the
ex-Presdent's departure. We trust, however.
this cause will not operate to procrastinate his
departure beyond o-day or tomorrow, at far
hest.
The Committees appointed respectively by the
City Council and the citizens, net yesterday and
made the necessary preparations to tender the
inequalities of the city to Mr.. Fillmore and
suite. They determined to meet the ex-Presi-
dent at Acquia Creek and escort him to the CITY,
Upon arriving here, he will be conducted to the
Exchange Hotel where ample apartments have
been engaged On the following day, process.
sion. to be composed of citizens societies and the
military, will form at 10 o'clock in front of the
Exchange Hotel, for the purpose of escorting
Mr.. Fillmore to the CAPITOL where he will BIO
formally received aud welcomed to the city by
MIR. VIM. H. Macfarane. During the process
sion, the r. F. Artillery will fire salute of
twenty one guns. After the reception the ex-
President will be escorted back to the Fl otel and
during the evening the Committee of Reception
will be in attendance at the Exchange for the
purpose of presenting such of their fellow citi-
zens to Mr.. Fillmore as may desire to pay their
respects to him. We requested especially
to invite the ladies' of Richmond to be present on
this interesting OCCASION Their presence and
smiIes,-always desirable, always delightful
will add lustre and brilliancy to the presenta--
ton.
The departure of MIR. Fillmore from Wash
ton will be telegraphed to this city, and will be
marked here by the display of flags flom the
prominent public buildings. Ar extra train of
cars, containing the committees, will instantly
lenve for Acqua Creek; and it is hoped every
member of the joint committee will find it con-
vouient to be in place. The President of the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad,
has in this, in every other instance, manifes-
ted the most enlarged liberality, and has
spared no effort to grant every facility and accom-
mediation in his power.
P. 5. Since tho above was in type, we learn
that letter has been received by citizen of
Richmond, from Mr.. Fillmore. in which he states
that he hopes to be able to leave Washington to-
morrow Saturday Tor this city. Should this
information prove correct he will reach here
Saturday evening about O'Clock, and will be for
mally received on Monday.

DR.. Baird's lecture on Tuesday night was
replete with useful and interesting information,
anecdotes, &C., about Russia and the Scandina-
Wan countries, viz. Sweden, Norway, Denmark
and Finland. These lectures are excellent po-
puar lectures and deserve encouragement. In
no other way can praiseworthy thirst for know

fled, as by hearing DR.. Baird. He pours out in
full tide his abu ndant stores of facts and anec-
dotes about the countries, cities, people, govern
ment, manners and customs of the nations of Eu-
rope, in an easy, coloquial style, and in grace
fol and gentlemany manner.
His next lecture is this evening, when he will
finish off with Scandinavia and carry us to Ger

The EMPEROR OF A UsTRIA.-A London cor
respondent of the New York Commercial gives
some further particulars in relation to the recent
attempt to assassnate the Emperor of Austria
According to the first account. pistol was the
weapon used, but it has been subsequently, stated
to have been poinard. A wound was inflicted
at the head which appears to have been regarded
as i'll no degree dan gerous-an impression which
seems still to be entertained, although the latest
accounts speak of some slight symptoms of fever.
The assassin is described to be young man, for
merry a soldier but now a tailor; and the blow
which he aimed at the centre of the Emperor's
throat. appears to have been diverted by move
ment of his victims arm, which caused it to fall
below the nape of the neck. The affair took
place on the rampar's of Vienna, the chief pub>
lie promenade, and the would be murderer, who
must have prepared himself for the consequences,
was instantly cut down by an aid de ca mp, and
was supposed to have been killed. He still lives,
however, and is now n prison.
