RrooxLry.-An immense meeting was held
n the open air in Brooklyn on Wednesday.
>peeches were made by O'MAHoSY, GAL
,.auER, MrLCAHEY, RoBISsoS, and others.
Mr.. GALLAGHER was chairman. He urged the
sending Of men and money 10 Ireland. " The
dag of Erin was unfurled, and before 1t would
lie taken down, England would be made to

Mr.. MrLcAHEY played upon the same harp
that, during the war, had a thousand strings;
Int which is now as mute as " the harp that
once through Tara's halls the soul OF music
she'd" MrLcAHEY said: A." During the rebellion,
n sea of Irish blood has been shed, that the
Union might live Would it, therefore, be an
inpropriety tor Irishmen TO call upon Amerl-
cans 10 give their aid in this conflict with the

this was approved with loud "cheers." This
is. indeed calling spirits from the vastly deep.

Mr.. MrLcAHEY was followed by Mr. ROBIN
son, who was practical and fanciful. There
were men enough there, he said, had they
arms, TO overturn the British Government!
He wanted material aid-subscription TO the
fuu Of Fenians, and "they would make old
Ireland ball ROOM and dance to the music OF
Erin Go Bragh" Alas, there may be more
melancholy dance than that
Colonel O'MAHoyY, the famous, followed.
The audience "cheered' his jublations for
the Fenians, and "groaned' his allusions 10

The Ocean Steamship fireman's Associa-

General SwEEHE7 Indignantly denies thathe
had abandoned the idea Of attacking England
through Canada. He only wants "a soil that

FROM ENGLAND.
First lei Us refer TO the London Times on the
movement.
The Times defends the Government for Its
rigorous measures, on the ground that the
danger 10 the country warranted them. Inc
Fenians, il contends, are more than rebels
they are actual invaders, who have cast OH
their allegiance TO their country, "or sworn

OF the design, and still more the perfect secu-

The Times further says:

Extensive preparations had been made Tor
strengthening the forces in Ireland, where, by
the measures Of the government, the fenians
have been taken by surprise. Regulars, OF
picked commands, including part OF the
coldstream Guards and Horse Guards, had
been dispatched TO Ireland, and their places
were 10 be filed by r0lpttteefs.
