[Prom to-day'a N. Y. Herald.] Central Organizer James Stephens, of the coming Irish republic, a genteel, bald man, had been in this country but a few hours last week when the grand public demon stration which came off in his honor at Jones' Wood yesterday was concocted by the distracted circles of the. F. B. in New York. Notwithstanding this there was a crush ing turnout, and the gates at Jones' Wood were besieged long before the hour ap pointedlor the meeting. Sixty-sixth street, from Second avenue to .the wood, was thronged before ten o'clock. At ten o'clock the gates 'were opened and the crowd outside began to diminish. They went in under the green trees and lounged about the sward in groups, talking about "ould Ireland" and the prospects of the Brotherhood, since the advent of Stephens, in whom all expressed the utmost confi dence. While the assembled Fenians were wait ing for the appearance of the Central Or ganizer an open barouche, drawn by two milk-white steeds, came rapidly down the mall towards the Executive Committee rooms, in the tavern, but stopped short just opposite the stand. General Joe Hooker and Brigadier-General George D. Ruggles, the latter of the Atlantic Department staff, were the occupants,and their arrival created considerable commotion. Men and women clattered across the main stand, where they had before been comfortably seated, and crowded about the barouche to get a glimpse of the great Stephens. When it was discover ed that it was not Stephens there were many loud surmises as to who the distinguished gentleman was. Killickri, the Eastport gene ral, was suggested; but the majority of those present knew him too well, and they laughed at the name. Soon it passed from ear to ear that "Fighting Joe" was among them, and a loud cheer went up. The Gene ral passed on to the committee rooms, and was assisted up to the reception room, where he was received by John Rafferty, Chairman of the Executive Committee. Although the visit of General Hooker was purely one of pleasure, and accidental, he was forced to remain and shake hands with a multitude of his admirers who flocked in to see him. The General has been confined to his room for along time with an ailment the doctors term paralysis, and he was called upon to explain to every comer. The greetings he underwent while waiting for Stephens were amusing. Some were glad to see him so hearty, others pained to find him so miserable. The General quieted all their anxious inquiries with the assurance that he would be sound again in less than a month from the new treatment he is under going. Among those presented to General Hooker were M. J. Hefferman, Secretary of Civil Affairs F. 8.; Judge Connolly, Colonel Mulcahey, General Wm. Halpine, and many who served with him in the war. Probably not less than fifteen thousand enrolled Fenians were present at the hour appointed for the commencement of the de monstration. If all the Manhattan circles had sent full delegations there would have been more than thirty thousand true Irishmen to welcome Stephens. As it was, delegations were present from the following circles: Hamilton Rowan Club, Brian Bora. Malachi. Mc- Hale. Benburb, Red Hand Wolf Tone Cadets. Davis, Fontenoy Cadets, Corcoran, Brother Shears, Lavine, Ciontarf, O'Mahony, Tara, Faugh a-ballagh. James Stephens, Garryowen. Long Island, Connaught Ran gers, sarstield (of Factoryville).

At half-past one the' carriage which had been sent down to the Metropolitan for the Central Organizer appeared before the main gate to the wood, bearilg its illustrious freight. The several bands, which_ had been duped many times during the morn ing by the appearance of swift moving barouehes, strack up . "Hail to the Chief" with commendable vigor. Mr. Stephens was driven rapidly down the. Mall to head quarters between long lines of shouting and cheering Fenians, male and female, young and old, lifting his hat often from his bald head and bowing his pale face to the de lighted multitude. He was seated in an open carriage with Captain Morgan Doheny and was received at the hotel by Col. Kelly, Mr. Rafferty and Mr. Sutton. On entering the reception room all arose with heads uncovered, and cheered. Stephens was first introduced to Major General Hooker and Brigadier General Ruggles, of General Meade's staff, afterwards to Judge Connolly and Denis j. Gaffney; of Albany, who studied law with Thomas Addis Em met. Among those present were Colonel P. J. Downing, Ninety-ninth regiment; John 3.

Norton, Seventy-seventh regiment; Captain Walsh, • Ninety-ninth regiment, Captain Dunne. Corcoran Le glen. Mr. Stephens discoursed freely for about fifteen minutes, after which he retired with the committee for nearly an hour, • Mr. Stephen's Address. After order and silence were to some ex tent obtained, Mr, Stephens proceeded to address the assemblage as follows: Friends of /reland—Towards the close of December, 1857, a young Irishman:called at my residence in Dublin, bilnging me let ters from Colonel O'Mahony and from the late Colonel Michael Doheny. He had also an oral communication to make him self; but all was to the effect that an organi zation had been established in America, of which-Colonel Doheny was appointed the chief, and I was requested to commence an organization and to direct it in Ireland. At • OUR 'WHOLE 130171Mtir. PHILADELPHLI, WEDNESDAY, MAY 16,1866. that time the cause of Ireland was so low at home as well as abroad—in fact, throughout the world—that few men of any brains or position could be got-to take part in it. They did not know the people. The Irish people were then, as ever, sound. [Cheers. A Voice—" Three cheers for the Irish people," and cries of "They will remain so."] 'Yes, their hearts were in the right place, and they only re iquired to be shown what to do that they might do it. [Cheers, and a Voice—" Yes, and they found a man to do it." Continued cheering.] On my return to Ireland after seven years exile, the first thing I did was to travel through the • country in every direction to derive a thorough knowledge of the people, and to see what could be done. 1 devoted a whole year to that, during which time I traveled three thou sand miles on foot. [A Voice—" Were you ever in Tipperary?" Cheers.] Yes, often. There is not a spot from Slievenamon to Ballinderry that I don't know. [Great cheering.] You know the words of Thomas Davis. From Carrick-on-Suir to Galtamore, From Silevenamon to Ballinderry. [Great cheering.] You see I know it. [Continued cheering.] With this knowledge of the people I con scientiously answered the letters of my friends in America, anzin certain condi tions I undertook to organize a force of ten thousand men in three months in Ireland. I undertook to do no more at that time. [A. Voice—"Och l thin, it was enough; glory to your soul." Laughter and cheers.] The conditions I exacted were twofold. First, that I should have absolute direction and control of the organization. I believe that you know this wawa conspiracy,. and is a conspiracy in Ireland against British rule. And I believe it utterly impossible for any oppressed nationality to organize such a power as could effect its hidependence with out a conspiracy, and without one man having the supreme control in that con spiracy. [Cheers.] For that reason, and - for that alone, in the interest of the move ment I undertook to unite, I deemed it ne cessary to make that first condition—that I should have supreme control of the or ganization. The second condition was that I should be supplied with certain sums of money per month. I asked for the small sum of irom .£BO to £lOO a month for the first three months. After this time, having organized ten thousand men, I meant to have made other proposals. I sent a trusted friend, who has since been in an Irish prison, to America, on that occa sion, with my answer. On the 17th March, 1858, he returned; he had found no organ ization in America, only a few devoted men, at the head of which was Mr. Doheny—(A voice.—“ Poor fellow,l knew him well !") who had held together against all circum stances in America, and who were then en deavoring to keep the Irish feeling alive and make it a power there. But he found no or ganization. There was but this nucleus of twenty or thirty men. They accepted my conditions and Bent me a paper enclorEdng, so far as they could endorse it, my action in Ireland. On the 17th of March, then, 1858 I began the organwation in Ireland. As I told you, it was a conspiracy. [Cheers.] To become a member of this conspiracy it was necessary to take an oath; ' You have heard a good deal on the subject of thia oath, but per haps you have not heard my real reason for making it an essential condition of membership. I had been in the movement in HA with Smith O'Brien, and we found when we bad a hundred, or two or three non dred men around us, if we happened to meet in any place where the clergyman ha,ppened to be against the movement, they invariably spoke against It, and they were able to scatter our force, such rie it was. This was because the people had not been trained; they nail not got tt e necessary training, and it was necessary to get the people, in my mind, to distinguish between the two fold character of the priest—the clergymen of all classes—to distinguish between their temporal and spiritual character. We have invariably inculcated upon oar friends the duty of giving obedience and sub mining in all devotion to their clergy in their spiritual character, but that in their temporal character they were simply to look upon Intim as citizens. tVociferous sheering.] Without this training you never could have a iorce in Irelane on whom you could rely We then made the oath u condition of membership, and we have continued to make it so. It shall not be changed. [Cries of "Good."] The first In. si ailment of he money sent to me from Americatf,m; I received on the 17th of March, la% The mecond in stallment was to have reached me a month from that; but the months of April, May and June went by with out my receiving anything. Then tne second time I had to send out my trusted friend to America to state the case. The report he brought back from Newyork was favorably received, but as there was no organiza tion in America at the time, he found it very difficult to get the necessary funds. 'These came to me in email installments. I continued to work, however, drawing on the resources of ray friends at home in Ireland; fur I want to make you understand that for every dollar contributed in this country, men at home have con tributed ten. [Great cheering.] Finding, about the month of September, that the promises made to me remained unfulfilled, and knowing that I had organ. Lzta more than top times the force I had undertaken to organize. I fellfahe necessity of coming to America to lay the foundation of our work here. In September, 1858, I arrived in New York, and had .a great many difficulties - to contend with here. But of these difficul ties Ido not care to speak at length now, though, if necessary, I shall make them all known to you, but not now. I have too many other points to touch upcn. At length, however, I was allowed to go to work in America. and the first man.' enlisted in the organisation, or one of the first, was General Corcoran. [Cheer.] At teat Lime the organization in America wait a secret society, as it was in Ireland. It has been found right to change it in that regard since; it has been changed—but wnether for the better or not, the future only can tell I tra veled through the States and laid the foundation of this organization. On my return to New York a docu ment was drawn up conferring upon me the supreme control of this organization, at home and abroad— [cheera]—in America, as well as In Ireland and Eng land, and in A ustralia—everywhere oar race can be found—rcheersi—trom that day out. It was only alter a residence of from two to tour months in the States f was allowed to go to work, and,as they were impatient for me to return to Ireland, I had only a month to de vote to the work of organization in this city, and I had no time at all to collect any amount of funds or arms, or what we needed in Ireland; but all these things were promised to me. However, they did not come. I believe this Is one of the points upon which you want information—the amount of supportwe in Ireland have received from here.from the beginning of the organization. [Cheering.] Well then, to be brief, during the first six years of the or ganization in America we in Ireland received from you about onethonsand five hundred pounds. I have „come to America, to establishh armony in this organi zation, and woe to the man who says or does anything to prevent that. [Great cheering.] Let there be no cries againstDoran Killian or John O'Mahony, against General Sweeney or Colonel Roberts; let there be no cries here to-day against any man. If you have come in a spirit of brotherhood, well, if not. woe to you and woe to Ireland. [Sensation.] Let every man who has come here to-day, if such be here, for the purpose of creating dissension and discord in our ranks—to widen the breach unhappily existing—let that man go from here—let him Bo home. (Cheering.] This no place for hire; let him go to England, that is the place for him- [cheers]—let him go to the British Ambassador; there he will be received; but let him not stand here with Irishmen who have sworn to free their land or die, [Great cheering.] I, for my single self, have had ray troubles. 1 have been in nitely more tried by my friends than by my toes. The men who used to call themselves my friends and the friends of Ireland have proved deadlier enemies to Ireland and me than British tyranny could ever do. [Cheering ] But I must not anticipate. I speak to you in a spirit of brotherhood. I want to have you united. I _want to have all our race Mime into toe work, like brother Irishmen and patriots, and any man or body of men who prevents union, I here to day, in the face of you all, and in the name of Ire land brand them as traitors to Ireland and enemies to our race. [Tremendous cheering.] Our motto to-day shall be union. [Continued chewing 1 Every mao among eta must give up selfishness and short sighted opinions and come into the great brotherhood. Yon can all do it. [Cheering.] You are the people, you are the pelves; you can makethemen,you can direct the men,youcanforcethem into the right wayand prevent then going astray from It. [Cheers.) The duty's upon you to-day, and you most dolt. [Cheers and cries of ' , We will."] To come back to My narrative—for it is merely a narrative, and I mean it to be so, rather than a speech—for the first six years after this organi zation, se I said, we in Ireland received in all about £1,500.' We were driven almost back upon our re sonrces, and I am sorry 'to day that we did not trus to our own resources alone—that we ever looked PI America for anything whatever. For, from the spirt of dissension that sprung up, the amount of calumny misrepresentation, bad feeling, bad blood and acanda that was indulged in in this organization, shame wa brought npon us all Oyer the world, andlt [Cheers be blotted out by Me redemption of Ireland. A voice—' That isgood.a] About the year 1863 I found there remained to me three courses to pursue. I had re most despaired of getting anything done from th , a side, and it seemed to me at home that we were bouna to make another effort. We bed then true of :' ' the best men the people knew in Ire land. I sent him out here with a statement of affairs. That man has since been condemned to twenty years Going servitude; he is now "felon," felon's seethes Going felon's work,oblig t o to associate with with theaasasin, - the burglar, the scoundrel, with the scum of the earth and placed by Bri Eh law on the Prune level with these, criminals. He was my trusted friend, a trusted Irish man in the cause or Ireland—learned, patriotic, and aceomplished. He was of a trusting nature, and be lieved the representations made to him here in Ame rica. He wrote home In great heart to his friends, all of whom his letter cheered except myself. His letter brought no cheer to me, for from what I had already heard t knew his missionewould be a failure. I knee , that from his first letter to me. That was the first course open to me—to send this man to America upon the people's work. His mission was a failure. The next course Open to me was to estab lish a newapaper in Ireland. and get for it as wide a circulation as possible, and devote its Prla ceedit to the organization. Yeumust know that greater difecaltles seise in raising money In Ireland than in that country. I will not give the poverty of the people as a ressomfor this. Poor as the people of Ireland are to day, if I could have one month's tour there, as could in these States, ' I would raise as much money as would free Ireland. But I was not free to move about Ireland. It was necessary for erne, as head, of this or ganizatiOn, to travel with citation, audit was because I did so I was able to escape from arrest so long. But in a short time I received sufficient money to estab Eh the Irish Pecpie of which you have heard a great deal. Toware a the establishment of that paper I got no as sistance whatever, as every obstacle was put in the way of its circulation; and it became dangerous for a seller to sell it or a purchaser to buy It; for the govern ment were watching the sale of the paper. The land lords and employers,baving a large number of people as their dependents, brought their influence to bear, and I am sorry to add that the c ergy set theirfaces against the paper, so that it was difficult to e ff ect a large circa 'salon. The Chicago fair was announced, and shortly after an Iriabman who did good service to the cause of Ireland was deputed to go from Chicago to Ireland to represent the state of affairs to us. Ostensibly he went to buy goods for the fair and receive what we contri buted, but in reality he came and represented that nothing could save the organization from ruin but my presence in America, and the committee in Chicago were anxieus that I should come, else the organiza tion would fall to the ground. In this narrative I am omitting many details, because I wish to speak In a spirit of conciliation, and I do not wish to let one word fail from my lips to hurt any man. If any word of mine she uld beat him by chance. I b his pardon be forehand and say that I did not mea nt. I came to the States. The gentleman alluded to is Mr. Henry Clarence McCarthy. I asked him, among other things, itthe entire proceeds of the fair would be placed in my hands, tor service in the cause of Ireland, and on his representations and promises I came a second time to the States. I promised my friends in Ireland, on my arrival in New York, to send them ilea on my arrival in Chicago another ilae and hi a week after my ar rival in Chicago £i.teQ. The £lOO was sent from New York, according to promise; then another £lOO and ei,ooa from Chicago. For a considerable time I could receive no more money. There was a elate. conven tion held in Chicago at that time, and Mr O'Mahony tame& d it, as well as the centres of the Western States. Mr. Calitaheny on beineecalled on to say - what was the strength oftheFenian lirotherhood at that time in America, stated that he could not claim more than ten thousand in it. as my object,iacomltgtothestates was to collectmoney and receive arms, in order to bring the movement to a close as soon as possiole, I feltthat with so small a Oasis. I could not effect my propose. I felt thatin Chicago on that night, and I conarined to feel it :or eight or ten days. as I went through the States—through towns of Illinois—and it was only when I got to St. Louis that I began to see my way, and felt that If put in proper working order the organi zation would realize all my expectations In a short time. And here I may say, that we never required much. Those people who told you that I came over for two hundred thousand, or fifty thousand, or twenty thousand men, or one-half that number, knew very little about me, and still less about Ire- land. [Cheers.] At that time' we would have been perfectly eatisned with a few men. All we then wanted was war material. On my return to New York I had certain changes to propose, which were In my opinion, essential to succeas. Fizse ho l deemed i on , n that Mr: 01:ebony s have a deputy Head Centre, an able business man,who could make good certain defects in Mr. Oletationy. the Mr. Oeittediony was always op posed to making direct appeals far money, and it was absolute's , necessary that these appeals aboaid be made. He was also not disposed to ge to strange parts of this continent when invitations were not Berth coming. Invitations did not come. Certain other changes I deemed neeessary, and these changesef fected an extraordinary improvement, which very soon became visible In the orieurization. That wake had real effect on Ii e people of this continent was, I believe, the stammer:lcl made to them in ISM -That statement was to the effect that the organized force at that time in Ireland was sixty thousand men, ust six times the strength of your legal, open organization in America; and I made the engagement that if Eng-- land went to war tbatyear on the Danish question we should take the field; but that whether England went to war or not, we should take the field in teas. What the reople wanted here as well as in Ireland was a fixed time for action, and not to be dragged on, as they had been for years. without knowing when the time for action would come. To the statement then made much of the progress made Is to be attributed. On my return to Ireland I found that the work was in a very good state. and the report that I brought back from America set the people to work still harder. Bat still the war did not take place. England fought shy, as she has often since the establishment of our organi zation. Sbe did not go to war on the Danish question, and 'we bad then one year more to wive You held your Cincinnati convention, and about that time I wrote, stating the requirements of Ireland, and asking for the months of January. February and March, I'l,ooo. I stated I would require for the month of April Lie 00 alone and for the months of May, June, July and August about £2,:eo per month. The money for January, February and March was sent to me— about .f..1,0ev. Another al,a 0 was sent to me in April, but I did not get the second instalment till the middle of May, and of the money for May. Jane, July and .Au F ast I got none. Instead of getting the money asked ear, and which would have enabled us to take the field last year, two gentlemen were appointed here to go to Ireland to investimue our work. They were perfectly satisfied with the state of Madre in Ireland. They sent over a very far. rable report, and asked for money to be sent back to us. It was agreed on at that time that the beside of the Irish republic should be Issued upon their return. It was calculated we should have all that wait requisite by Use dose of the year. It so happened that one of the delegates, while in Ireland, lost certain documents. This was blr Meehan. [There was some hissing when Mr. Meeban's name was mentioned,] Now, I don't wish to say one word disparagingly or him today; neither do 1 wish that any irlenct of mine abeuld do so; but, while desirous of not saying any thing against him, it la necessary that the fact snocad be known that the loss of those documents was the immediate occasion of the arrests in Ireland. [Groan log.] I have myself written against him, and it I hare wronged him I would be very happy to make ample reparation if he will only favor me with a visit. [Cheers.] I have sent invitations to all these gentle. men—G -neral Sweeny, Ur, Roberts and Mr. Meehan— to ail those gentlemen to come and see me; but eery few of them have come, . I am sorry to say The fault, however, has not been mine. I have made all the advances compatible with my sense of duty and of dignity. Well, the arrests were made, and the Govern ment said, triumphantly, that all was ever in Ireland. But so far from it, never was harder work and more work done in Ireland than imme diately after the arrests. I was free myself, and while free I am not used to be idle [Great cheering.] Immediately afterwards the govern ment saw the necessity of °reclaiming every comity in Ireland, one after the other, because they felt that the work was going on stronger than ever, and that the only thing we wanted was arms and munitions of war, and these were coming into tae country and they could not prevent their Deming in. They saw that the men who were serving the cause of Ireland were able to baffle them, and that the men got in what they re alreWh they were able to do then, they are be to do now. Don't allow yourselves to be blinded upon that subject, nor let yourselves be per suaded by any one that we can't get the means into the country. It has been all a question of money. With the requisite funds we can get in whates er materials we wish, and and men too, if we require them. My opinion on this subject ought to be more than the opinions of people who nave not seen Deland since the greenness of their youth, and who know next to nothing of Ireland. [Cheers.] My friends were arrested, and you know how they have - conducted themselves. The bearing of those prisoners has not been surpassed by the bearing of any men in history, under similar circumstances. And they bore all this because they still had faith—Mk in the organ ization which they knew to be so powerful at home, and also faith that the promises so often made to them, an aso solemnly made upon. this side, would be kept. When the counties had, been preclaimed, the British press—and how am I to ,designate that press? I believe it to he the v.l-st in the wet ld,unless it be that foul press of Ireland which may be fairly designated the journalistic excrements of England—that vile press than began to boast that the organizetion was suppressed In Ireland. Bat only a few weeks afterwards the Lord Lieutenant wrote the precious letter which you must have all read, calling on the government to suspend the Habeas Corpus act. You know the wholesale arrests that were made atter the suspension of the Habeas Corpus. They thought to make the - world believe that we were suppressed than at lease and that was their third attempt. Bat I can tell you now that the organization in Ireland today is stronger than it ever had been,. in num-, tiers, discipline and in all the requirements of an army, save - only in war material. - The organization in Ireland towards the close of last year numbered two hundred thousand men, and of that force, fifty thousand were thoroughly drilled with a large proportion of men who had seen war and smelt powder on the battle field—a large proportion of veterans, m short fifty thousand. were partly drilled m B n e t n iOng f a t n h d er t e h b e e oth a ma er hundredth w o u ns w an ho d t g ri u m ite ks un nia dr t ill th e or d a thousand Irishmen thoroughly drllied,with fifty thou sand others partly drilled would not make a force sufficient to meet anything that England could bring against us, then indeed he is won:illy ignorant of the reseurees ofEnglancL What army could be brought agains Ireland by England ?- What is the military force of England at present ? There are some 20,000 English troops in Ireland at present, and it weald take England front thirty to 'forty days kiconcentrat a force of thirty to forty thou Sand men in Ireland It would take her three months at least to concentrate a force of seventy - thousand, and it is not likely she would ever be.able to concentrate a larger force. Of our Loma we could , concentrate in Ireland, at fonror five - given points, one hundred thousand men ire twenty-four hours. remendons cheering.]'i All We wanted in Ireland from the middle of September to the end of December was arms to pus into the hands of our . men. The men were there, and only wanted the arms. Rut in the very hour of our strength, there came to Ireland the melancholy news of your disruption here. Still we held on. We did not think it possible that any body of men on this continent could be found that wouldwithheld from Ireland in that supreme hour of her need, the succorwhich they had promised to give us; and it was because I could not bring myself to be lieve this that I had made op my mind to get myself arrested, even if the English authorities had not suc ceeded in doing so: for I felt myself bound to action laat year I" de , to d .l 0.1 thought you wired feel bound to is here, if Vted myself so far as to accept a prison voluntarily, and that by going into prison you on this side would be driven to give us what we wanted. However, before thealme I had decided forputting it Into execution I heard nothing favorable from this side, and the government found eat my residence and I was arrested. I suppose you would all like to . know how . I got out of prisi n. [Tremendous enthln - slam.] Weil, it did net require any extraordinary -.effort on my pars, for, with -the force of true hearts that were around that prison in Dublin, it would not have been possible nor the government, though the walls had been of adamant, and though is bad regiments stationed within those walle,to keep me there [Great cheering.] To my friends is Dahlia. then, I refer you for the manner in which I effected' my escape. That was the time of our greatest power in Ireland, and if, at any time between the 24th of No vt mber and the end of December, you had sent to Ire land a small force, or only a few superior talkers with the a. ecessary war material, I do believe as firmly as= In my own existence, that Ireland would be an inde pendent country to-day. But you know what took place. However, my mind was made up not to leave Ireland, and so I remained for nearly four months in Dublin city alter my escape from prison. At length I bad an invitation from Mr. Olfahony and others to come to this country for the organization, it was said, required my presence here. A Voice—So it did. aln.Srnerivxs—The evening after the receipt of this invitation I caled some of my most trusted friends grown , me. to hold a council, and see if, before I do:ear n:lll3dd on starting tor America, something might not be done at home, even without your assistance. It was de:ermined on that night, even without asking for my voice, to defer action yet a while. It was then and then only, that I determined on coming to the States. Once d- termined on I set about its execution, orratber my friends set about its ex cuti .0, for I was in their hands, and Indeed it is to them and not to any effort of my own that ev' rything is clue. This departure fro , n Deland was much more difficult and much more fall of incident than the escape from prison. But I do not care to dwell on St now. I want to come to the object of my mission to America. 'You know by this time that it is to .reconcile the parties here and to effect a union—such a union as would givens very awe:. ily all that we want for the freedom of our land. I found the organization here torn asunder. and. as already said. all sorts of bad feel ing among the members. But I still believe that from whim the people have shown to me since my arrival in tbeSiau-s, 1 can effect enough for all our purposes. [Cheers.] It will give me the greanst possible pllea sure, andit will give Irela.no great pleasure, and the men who are now pin tng in prison, and the men who arestandlogin ine face of all difficulties at home; it will give them infinite pleasure to see the heads of the factions-coming into this organization united once more. As already said, I have made advances for that purpose, and as far as I recollect L have not as yet let fall one single word that could fairly hurt any of those gentlemen. I did expect that Mr. Roberts would have acted like Mr. O'llationy. I believe it was pa triotic and wise of Mr. O'Mationy to have given in his resignation, and I believe it would be patriotic and wise of Mr. Roberts to do the same; and if iMr. Rob erts and Mr. 0' fd aliony passed on this platform to day, forgiving one another, torgetting the past, stretching forth the band of brotherhood one to the other, and calling on the men to work together—if they had been here to endorse me, I be love that the rganiaation would have in a single month ten times the power it ever had, and that the liberty of Ireland would be a certain thin. Voices—Down with them; pitch them overboard! Mr. Stephens [emphatic ly}—l have already called on you not to say a word Isurtfal to any one. I here a great respect for Mr. Robe rte and Mr. CEMahony, and -for every marital he is proved to be dishonest,end,once proved to be dishonest. I am then done with him for ever. But nothing of the kind has been proved against any of th r ee gentlemenao yon have no right to hoot at them, no ma ter who may have set you on. Here, pub lfry and before the Irish people, I once more in a friendly and fraternal spirit invite these gentlemen— the heads Wall parties—to come to me while I remain in Liew Y ork,and endeavor to come to an understand ing. I call on the Irish people bete and throughout the world—for I believe the a - o rdsl:pronounce,ho wever simply spoken, will be read wherever our race can be found—l call, then, on our whole race to rise up against the man or body of men who would stand between Ireland and this essential union to day. I appeal to you by all you hold dear. by the memory of the , land so fair, so lull of sorrows, and vet so steadfast, so reso lute. to pure and enlightened as It to-day. Per I claim for Ireland at this hour mere true republican principles and lights than are to be found in the same number of people in any country on earth. [Cheers.] And if there be more anywhere else it must be on this republican continent But certainly. I do say this, and I say it denberately—for I know that these words will be read in France and in other lands that are also very dear to me,for France ISo love. [Prolonged and enthusiastic cheering.] A Voice— rive fa Nance! [Renewed cheering.] Mr. Stephens—l:ay that not even there nor in any other isnd in Europa is there so much republican in tellect as in Ireland. I say that we ere well worthy of liberty, ann that we are able to win it, if you do not de ceive, or rather if you do not disappoint us in any way. In fact I might let the first word stand, for indeed if you disappoint us then you will truly betray us. You must difappoint and betray us if you are not united. This unity erection is the grand essential today; you must labor fOr that, think of nothing else butthat, and don't rest till you have effected it. f Cheers]. t ountry. men and friends of -Ireland, for very important reasons I shall not extend n.y address to. you to-day, but through the press and elsewhere you will hear of me again. The last words I shall say to you now will be but a repetition of what I have already said, Without unity we cannot have what we require, and you cannot fulfil your promises to Ireland; the Irish people are sure to he disheartened and dispirited, the orgaresetion is sure to be broken up, and an eternal stain will, rest upon our character, but, worst of all, the whole Disci race is sure to be exterminated. [No, no.] It is certain that the Irish people will be dt Sven from the soil of Ireland if you do not free her. If there is not union I believe the whole movement will end in failure,aad then the doom of ..y our race will be sealed. Believing, then, that union is the great want of the present time, I have in many ways cut short this address to avoid any remark that might be considered fairly hurtful to any man. Once more. I repeat, I stretch forth my hand to any man who may come to effect this union: and I call on you now, in the mime of Ireland, to allow no man to stand in the way of this unity. [Cheers.] Effect it, and as sure as I address you here to-day we shall take the field in Ireland this very year. and by effecting it we will have a free land. Brothers, as my object to-day is to endeavor to effect this unity, I deem it wise that no other gentleman should address you on this occasion. Mr. Stephens then retired from the front of the plat form amid deafening cheers and waving of flags and banners. Speeches were made by various other parties subsea quently, including Dr. Moriarty. of Philadelphia. A VOLCANO AT VENICE.—The Venice journals contain accounts of a singular phe nomena which has just taken place in that city. Works had been for some time past going ott,in the garden adjoining the St. Ag nes() Church, for boring an Artesian well, and a depth of one hundred and sixty feet had been reached, when one afternoon a rumbling noise was heard underground, and almost immediately after a column of water of the diameter of the well spouted forth to the height of the neighboring houses. The liquid was accompanied with smoking masses of slimy matter and ashes, which emitted a suffocating smell of gas. Engi neers at once commenced works to make a channel for the water, as the ground had become saturated, and the walla of the churches and houses around were beginning to crack. The latter were evacuated by their inhabitants. The eruption continued until midnight, but in the meantime about one hundred tons of sand and other earthy matter had been thrown up. The lights in the neighborhood were ordered to be extin guished, and no smokers were allowed to apnroach the spot, for fear of an explosion. The cause of the occurrence is believed to be the expansion of gas compressed in the layers of earth, which found an outlet in the orifice made by boring the well. Tim estate of M. D. Potter, the lately de ceased proprietor of the Cincinnati Commer cial, proves to be much more valuable than was supposed. Mr. John A. Pomeroy was appointed administrator, the widow waiv ing her right to administer. The value of the personal estate was stated to be 5350,000, and the real estate $150,000. The adminis.. trator's bond was fixed at $700,000, and the stamp on the letters was $225.
