Baron’ of the Exchequer, made the speech of the evening, in| which he openly told the people to arm, and be prepare for any emergencies which should arise. ing. Considerable gnxiety had been manifested to learn the effect the prosecutions would have produced on the leaders of that body. The rooms were crowded almost to suffocation; and the surmise that the steps taken would only add to the warmth of the popular fee]- ing was fully realised. The chairman, M. Barry, gaid— 1 tell Lord Clarendon that, if he is disposed to go to law with this nation, he must prepare a thousand additional jails; for if O’Brien, Meagher, and Mitchell areto be imprisoned for speaking and writing the truth, we are all prepared, one by one, to repeat what they have already spoken, and a great deal more. 0 God’s sake, and mind their families and business, if they have any, and leave this struggle im our hands, who neither love, nor respect, nor fear the law. Mr. Duffy, editor of the /Vation, was no less plain in his observations. He said— We do not promise to outmanwuvre them in the Court of Queen’s Bench. We cannot undertake to drive a coach and ix through their prosecution ; but we will drive through it the green banners of a hundred thousand national guards. Mr. Mitchell, however, out-topped allthe speakers— He urged every man to get arms, and provide ammunition. A rifle could be had for three pounds. Speeches and resolu- tions would never avail them unless they were al! armed and ready toturn out. (Vociferous cheering, and cries of « Pikes, pikes!” Whatever he had writen, spoken, or published he would stand by; and he now informed the gentleman who was taking notes for the Government, that it was he who print- ed and published the seditious libels. He meant to cail on them torise up atan early day, oranearly night,and smash through the Castle of Dablin, and tear it down. (‘I'remendous applause.) At this meeting several! magistrates, professional men, and students of Trinity College, were admitted mem- bers, amongst whom were Mr. Maher, deputy-lieutenant for Wexford, who contributed 50/ tothe defence fund; Mr. Barnewail, J. P., nephew to Lord Trimleston, &c. Mr. Doheny set off next day for Tipperary, to embody the national guard there. Extensive importations of pikes have taken place from Birmingham, two consignments alone amounting to thirty thousand. ‘These are sold only to persons who can give a certain pass-word. One man, named Coogan, in the county of Meath, has at present a contract to sup- ply ash saplings, eleven feet long, for 100,000 men. One club alone in Dublin possesses 1600 pikes. Some parties have been arrested in Tipperary for manufactur- ing these weapons. Light brass guns, from seven to fourteen pounders, are said to havearrived in Dublin. A man named Kirwan, taken up by the repeal special constables in Dublin, for ordering pikes, has turned out to be a Government spy,empioyed by the commissioner of] {n fine, there is only M. Arago, who seems formed of Police. The discovery has given cause of great dis- satisfaction, and the press of all parties loudly reprobate the transaction. The troops and constabulary also are said to be dis- affected. Several soldiers of the 83rd have been sent to head quarters to be tried by court-martial for join- ing with the people at their bonfires, and the autho- ries have found it necessary to give a complete “ weeding,” as it is termed, to the police force, rermov- ing from the body every member supposed to be tainted with the popular feeling, The disaffection principally exists in Limerick and Kilkenny. Certainly, as mat- ters now stand, the repealers calculate on the symnpa- thy of both the army and police. In the meantime, the middle classes, terrified at the approach of disturbances, are withdrawing their depo- sits from the savings banks, the run on the Limerick and Drogheda banks being unusually large. Much reliance has been placed by the Government. on the exertions of the Roman Catholic priesthood to preserve peace. This prop is being also cut from un- der their feet; and in some diocesses—Cork for in- stance—the clergy have unanimously opened a sub- scription list towards the defencefund. The Limerick clergy have had a meeting on important business with the repeal wardens. All the movements we have narrated, however, sink into insignificance when compared with one which has taken place arnongst the Protestant section of the com- munity,and which, not having arrived at a stage suf- ficiently matured to be published, is thus glanced at by the correspondent of the London Times— : There is just now in course of signature a “ declaration” ad- dressed to the Earl of Clarendon, which from the high respect- ability ofthe premoters, and the numberof influential names already appended to it, must be regarded as a portentous sign of those eventful times. | am not at liberty to mention the gentle- men who have been instrumental in the movement, but it has the sanction of some of the leading men of the learned profes-| sions, and that afellow ef Trinity College, 2 conservative, js one of its warmest supporters.

The parallel in the present move- ment and that of 1798, cannot fail to strike any one con- versant with the Irish history. The Presbyterian por- tion of the United Irishmen precipitated the struggle, whilst the Roman Catholic section held back. ‘To the want of co-operation in the time appointed for commen- cing the movement may be in some measure attributed its complete and signal failure.

People of Lombardy and Ven- ice !—The destinies of Italy are maturing; a happier fate awaits the intrepid defenders of inculcated rights. From affinity of race, from intelligence of the age, from com- ‘munity of feeling, we, the first, have joined in that una-. ‘nimous admiration that Italy shews towarda you. People of Lombardy and Venice ! Ourarms, which were already concentrated on your frontier when you anticipated the ‘liberation of glorious Milan, now come to offer you in 'your further trials that aid which a brother expects from a brother--a friend from a friend. We will second your just desires, confiding in the aid of that God who is vis- ibly with us—of that God who has given to Italy a Pius IX—of that God, who, by such wonderful impulse, has ‘given to Italy the power of acting alone. And that the |sentiment of the Italian union may be further demon- ‘strated, we command that our troops, on entering the 'territory of Lombardy and Venice, shall bear the escut- ‘cheon of Savoy on the tri-coloured flag of Italy.
