A mass meeting was held on the weat side last night, presided over by the Mayor of the city at which the following preamble and resolutions were passed :—

loyalty to the faith preached by St. Paul}

and St Patrick and devoted attachment to their sogyarth areon are the distinguising characteristics of the Irish Celtic

wherever they are to be fonnd. s

The the Celta in the and in E gl and and Scotl snd, to refuge in the mountain fastoesses of | Wales and the Highlands «f Scotland during all the changes and turmoils, was a vigorous branch of the old Celtic Race who had remained in possession of a green and emerald isle to the extceme west of Eu- rope, which they had occupied for thousands of years—a sacred soil which since the landing of the Milesians, 1234 years before Christ, had never been profaned with im yunity by a foreign fue. True, Ireland wes} ected by the Danes fortwo centuries; but at last they were driven into the sea by the great Brian B_ru in 1014, while a few who remained settled down and became | decent Irishmen Ireland was never in- vaded by the Romans, althongh they cast longing eyes upon her, 80 that when in the fifth century, Christian Rome extended her spiritual sceptre over the isle, there was found a system of civilization wneqalied by that of any heathen nation. Six hundred years before Christ she bore the title of the Holy Isle, and it was spoken of then as an old title. Foreign navigators who had explored every corner of the then known world could find no more apt expression to describe her than to say that it was ‘‘a holy spot, a fair green island,” as her own children fondly call her. to-day, ** the emerald gem of the western sea.” After the Anglo-Norman invasion, backed by the English, they again made war upon the ancient civilization of Ireland for 400 years without success, until atlast they found themselves transformed into Irishmen, in fact more Irish than the Irish themselves. With the Reformation epoch,a new element entered into the conflict. England, now Protestant, attempted to overcome Irish rsistency in the Ancient Faith by penal etadien. After the cruel invasion by Cromwell, the Island was left without de- fenders and almost depopulated. Her soldiers had been compelled to accept voluntary’ exile, and her children sold as slaves to the tobacco plantations. Only about half a million of Irish remained in the Island. The merciful provisions of the Act of Settlement were referred to, which meant nothing leas then the proscription and extermination of the whole Irish race, as well as of such unfortunate Protestants as had not abandoned the Stuart cause. But the Irish not only refusedfto perish, but have gone on steadily increasing until to- day ,they are found on every island and con- tinent. The vast emigration enforced and volustary, which has taken p’ace at varieus periods was referred to. In all about one million men left Ireland to take service under the banners of the Catholic sovereign of Europe. Allusion was also made to the record they had left on the page of history, in all honorable professions, in the Church, in the Army, in business, they had dis tinguished themselves. Whenever the interesta of the Catholic religion were at stake, the Irish displ:yed a most uncom- promi-ing spirit. Whie it must be ad- mitted that Irelandghas had, and stil! hae; many grievances to be redressed, the general policy of the British Government has too often been to attempt a cure by the appli- cation of coersion, much as a quack would apply Radway’s Ready R-lief for the healing of all diseases Judging of the Irish nation as repres:ned in Parliament and the Army, we are forced to a conclusion that sheds honor and lustre on them asa nation. In support of this, the lecturer referred to the action of the Irish members in Parliament in May last, whose votes and voices were mainly instru

banquet in Dublin, wherein he said that having been educated to believe | in the superiority of Irishmen,

that they were cleverer, abler, and better than any other people in the world, after a long experience of them, having seen much of the world. Taking a clear view ofall he had seen and gone through, he had _ heard and seen nothing to make him waver in his faith. Every page of the military history of Great Britain bears record to the valor of Irish soldiers

In concluding his lecture the Rev. Dr exhorted his heares not only to remember with pride the glories of Burke, Curran, Shiel, Grattan and O’Connell, but also those prelates who have spoken to them the

word of God, their Patrick’s, Oolumbas’ O’Haurleys’, Plunkets’, Malachys’ and Lawrence O'Toole, their McHales,

Narrow Escape.

rERRIELE EXPERIENCE OF A PLEASURE PARTY ON THE CHESAPEAKE BAY.

Intelligenca was received at Baltimore, December 5th, of the narrow escape of a) pleasure party during the gale Monday in the bay. The party comprised Cartain| Hugh L. Crockett, bia young wife and two | little children. The captain attempted to | cross the bay in a row boat, and in a few! moments encountered a hurricane. For some time the boat was kept afloat, but! midway iu the bay she was struck by a| squall and capsized. The occupants were soon struggling in the water. Capt. Crockett was the first to rise, and he seized his wife and children as they rose to the| surface. Thus burdened, he managed to swim to the boat, which was bottom up- wards, and in an almost superhuman effort placed the wife and little ones upon it aud clamtered up himself. He was unable to right the buat, and his only hope was that he would be discovered by a passing boat. For two hours the party clung to the boat, which was tossed about like a cuckle shel’, They were nearly frozen to death. At one time the wind blew with such violence that ove of the children was swept from its mother’s arms, but the father plunged after it, and returned safely to the boat. The signal of distress was at last seen and a boat came to the assistance of the sufferers, were more dead than alive. The act of Captain Crockett is spoken of by seafaring men as the boldest and most heroic that ever occurred on the Chesapeake.

Curious Coincidence.

A very curious coincidence has recently been noticed in New York. It has for some time been the custom in the police depart- ment to grant only partial pay to members of the foree who were incapacitated from duty by sickness, and during the fiscal year of 1882 the amount paid for ‘‘sick time lost” was $20,101. Some time ago, however, an ocfiicer who had lost considerable time by illness, sued for full pay, and the court before which the case was brought decided that he had a right to it, and it had to be paid. Immediately thereupon the health of the force began to fail in a remarkable degree, and the records of the present year show payments on sick time of $56,665. I1t is always interesting to notice the coin- cidence of fortuitous circumstances, but seldom is amere marked case presented than that describad above,
