The several secret meetings which have kept the
Fenans Of this city busy during the past found
some vent last night in an open gathering OF the
MoIlale Circle, at the Metropolitan Rooms, Hester
street. There was large attendance OF working
men, Several members OF the Legion Of st. Patrick
armed with rifles and in the uniform OF Meagher's
Irish Brigade gave slight military air TO the pro-
ceedings.
Mr.. JAMES MCMAHON called the meeting to order
and introduced Mr.. Joseph Fury 10 the audience as
zone Of Ireland's noblest sons"
Mr.. FURY stated that he had merely dropped in by
accident" but yet commenced in high note by
tracing Fenanism back to the days OF Finn McCool,
whom he placed the most ilustrous of kings on the
throne OF Ireland two thousand years ago. lie gave
an ingenious account OF how Agricola out OF lear
OF Finn's proves, declined TO measure the swords
Of his Roman legions with the original
Fenians. He then read huge indictment against
the British government charging them with
humanity The Irish famine, in which two millions
perlshed he laid to the door OF that 'damnable'
government, and made an earnest appeal TO those
present TO come forward and take up the cause OF
liberty for Ireland and vengeance upon her
The force OF Mr.. Fury's eoquence did not seem to
be felt by the audience. go the speaker launched out
into furious invective. He pronounced those who
were deaf to his elo9uence to have hearts deadencd
aud wlthered. He even ventured ON
series Of hnprecaiions on those who being
ss wSan to ne 0w Sad the
he had fred them. Then he invoked the genius OF
Wolfe Tone. lie apostrophized Tones departed
spirit and coolly inquired II he could look down on
such sluggish patriotism. This took effect. One
young man came up and booked himself. There was
a cheer and Mr.. Fury changed an indignant brow
for what he meant 10 be smile. He wanted one
more. Another came. Enthusiasm began 10 kndle.
The speaker waxed witty. There was luck Ia odd
numbers. VINO was to be the lucky volunteers This
was hit and there was rush to the table OF six or
seven staworth fellows. Now, Mr.. Fury, having got
an inch, demanded an ell. He wanted BAKERS

ing and curslng after fashion which
certainly might have shaken weak nerves.
But "the bakers dozen" had not come, so the
speaker or the evening tried the effect of statistics
He talked millions. There were three millions ser-
ling stolen from Ireland for cotton goods spun In
Manchester; two millions Tor pottery taken on to
Staffordshirc; six millions taken oy absentees
In all he ran mp an account or eighteen mi-

be made iat The motion was carried and the board
adjourned.
THE IMMEDIATE RESULT.
When the action OF the Gold Board became
known confidence set In and healthy atmosphere
spread around. The great depression which had up
to that moment prevailed in all directions was con.
siderably dspeed, while the general tone OF AFFAIRS
was changed for the better. In fact. the feeling
became cheerful and bright hopes began to be sub.
stltuted for the blank and unutterable dsmay which
mp to the present time had characterized the pro-
ceedings. The effect on the stock market was at
once evident. Half an hour before stocks tumbled
at headlong pace, but upon the announcement OF
the action OF the Gold Exchange the market eased
up and heavy business was In earnest anticipation.
feeling OF relief prevailed.
THE BANK OF NEW YORK.
Not long after the bank had undertaken the task
OF clearing rush was made towards IT, ana 1t was
hoped that the task was commenced in earnest.
Crowds gathered outside the door and the pros
poets were discussed with animation, nearly all
taking hopeful view, more or less, OF the situation.
Although it was expected that great deal would be
done none doubted that for O time matters would
remain much mixed, and especially in regard to all
involved with Belden Co. and such others as had
sought or threatened to invoke the nterp0sitl0n Of
the courts In the settlements OF disputed contracts;
but outside OF such, and as business was now partly
resumed the line Of demarcation, it was thought,
would be more and more tightly drawn. Indeed,
there was fair prospect Of clearing away much of
the suspicion and distrust that mad existed
on all sides since Friday, as there was.

Pursuant to special call the citizens COMMITTEES
and the joint committee Of the Common Council
having charge OF the Avondae subscriptions met

tary. The Mayor made few characteristic and
appropriate remarks eulogstlc or the prompt and
liberal manner In which the citizens OF New York
had responded to the call made on them, and then
requested Mr. Tooker to report briefly the result OF
his recent visit to AvOndale and his impression in
regard 10 the local committee
Marshal Tooker, in complying with the request OF
the Mayor gave the account of his visit manly it

hoped that they would be in by the lst proximo and
he moved that the subscription be closed by that
tlme The motion was adopted, as also p motion
made by Alderman Hardy that draft drawn by

to support the market until the present compica-
ton is completely unraveIled. A decline was also
exhibited IN State bonds, while railroad bonds were
extremely duh. On the whole the market was
extremely sensitive. The principal sales yesterday
were for cash.
BLIGHTED NOTES.-THE BANK OF NEW YORK GIVES
Up THE TASK OF CLEARING.
AS already mentioned. the great movement to settle
last Fridays transactions in gold attempted by the
Bank Of New YORK was hailed with general delight.
1t was generally anticipated That by gigantic effort
the true position Of those involved In the speculation
would be unveiled. In doing so relief would have
been impaired, even II it.should appear that the
solvency OF large firms OF high standing should be
Impaired. Altogether II was thought that the full
extent OF the crash would be known and the terrible
uncertainty that had hitherto surrounded the affair
would be removed Men became prepared for the
worst and were only anxious to ascertain the
limit OF the catastrophe. The labor was immense,
but the very fact OF the bank having
undertaken to clear it away Gained many troubled
mind. The bright hopes formed in the morning
however, were destined to be continued. Frightened,
perhaps, at the vastness OF the work the New York
Bank hesltated to proceed with the undertaking.

much as 1t would tend to embarrass the regular
operations Of the bank. The effect produced was
gloomy In the extreme. The panic which mad pre-
viously characterized the stock market was renewed
and the greatest confusion and disorder prevailed.
THE EVENING SESSION IN THE GOLD R0oM-DETER.
MINED ACTION.
The members of the Gold Board reassembled at
three O'Clock, in obedience to special call from the
President. There was very large attendance and
the proceedings were characterized by the greatest
excitement When order was partially restored the

THE FATE OF EsAU-7eras.-The is no greater
evidence of popular ignorance than blind loyalty, for
it involves an abect and slayish obedience to authority
which free and educated people always scrutnise and
whose acts they always question. All government was
instituted among men for their benefit, and, the
agent of the common veal should be strictly confined
to the objects of its creation When allowed to as
sumo powers not provided and to exercise authority
not delegated, it becomes the superior and not the
creature of the people. It rules simple tyrant,
with no limitation upon its powers and no law except
its own discretion And he who favors the authority
Of government against free inquiry he who would
shrine its acts in mysterious sovereignty beyond
the investigation of the people, is enemy to their
liberties So prone is power to usurpation and GER
tain is submission to invite oppression that it has been
we'll said the price of liberty is eternal vigilance.
If our neighbors of Texas should heed the advice of
their pronounced loyaliss and let slip the golden op
portunty of selecting representatives of their own to
their next Legislature preferng the foreigners sent
among thempreferring to carry out the requirements
of reconstruction to looking after their own terests,
preferling the State of Texas reconstructed Louis

administered by negroes and foreign adgenturers to
Texas restored by the hands of her ctzens-they
have the mind of Esau and should suffer his fate In
deed, they will barter their liberties for mess Of
