Volunteer Mr. Meagher was received in the warmest manner, at the Musical Fund Hall, Philadel phia. Tiie audience was large, and among those in attendence were many of the most respect table citizens. The app!:tue at times was tru ly. enthusiastic. The sutject of the discourse was Henry Grattau and the Irish Volunteers of '8-. We have only room to notice a few of the prominent points. It was unnecessary, said Mr. M., to say much concerning the birth of Henry G rattan. He was not one of the petty princes of the earth, whose nobility depended upon the cradle in which they are rocked. The true king the legitimate ruler spoke onlv of one ancestor, the land that bore him ! Was proud or jealous only of one crest, the flag she stood by. Such a man was Henry Grattan the worthiest r.ranch of the old stock, which, deeply rooted in the Irish soil, has stood many a rude stroke, and is still firm and good. It might, however, he somewhat interesting to state that ids parentage furnished guarantees for the genius and the cournge which sustained him throughout his high career that is. if there be any virtue in what they call "blood," and the excellencies of our nature like an old castle, a stud of horses, or a suit of livery are, in a family way, transmissible. (Laughter.) He then gave u brief outline of the early life of Grattan. and of his residence in London. Lord Chatham was in the House of Lords, and Grattan, writing to n friend of his in Ire laud, speaks in rapturous effusions of this great Englishman; alludes to that "scowl of his which gave Sir Robert Wnlpole a pain the back;" Loud laughter : and then to that splendid el oquence which, even when its force abated, was like the spinning of a cannonball, alive with a fatal, unapproachable activity. M Ed mund Burke was iu the House of Commons, and Garrick. and Quin. and Mossop on the stage. With such temptations to lure him from the sombre precincts of the Temple, it was no won der he acquired a distaste for the legal profes sion. He hated it, in fact ; and, writing to his friend Broom a dashing young cornet of dra goons avows this hatred in the fiercest words. His client should be a nation. The charter of her freedom, the only brief from which he would condescend to speak. His fee and recompense, the glory which the recognition of that charter, upon himself and upon his clieut, would ettru- ally confer. Loud applause. This was the thought, the purpose, the ambi tion which filled his soul as with the melodv and mapic of a holy vision, and gave to his ! tongue so sublime an utterance. Hence, lie j shrank from the fashionable lounges of London. Hence, those wanderings of his, by night, throush Windsor Forest, amid the oaks, the deer, and j all those beauteous and luminous things of the earth and sky in the laud of the stranger," the master and the foe within call of the towers on which the English standard waved the young Irish law student, night after night, grew pale thinking of his country of what she was of what she might be until the glory of the ex panding vision descended on his features, and veiled them in its radiance. (Loud applause.) And then again, in his own land, by the clear, brown current of the Liffey through the groves of Swift and Vanessa was the same old theme thought of and the same old vision 3et more deeply contemplated. Grattan took his seat in the Irish Parliament about the time that George Washington took the command of the American army, under the elm tree on the Cambridge road. (Great applause.) The triumph of the one has been reversed. The triumph of the lat ter remains good, and Heaveu prant it shall so remain throughout all time. (Enthusiastic ap plause.) His first vote was against the 4,000 Irish troops, "with whom." as lie exclaimed in hisphillipic against Flood, "the English Minis ter proposed to ut the throats of the Ameri cans fighting for their freedom the only hope of Ireland the ouly refuge for the liberties of mankind." i After glancing at the condition of affairs in Great Britain and Ireland, and at the course of Grattan up to that time, Mr. Meagher s iid In the Spring of 1782. Lord North was turn ed out of office, amid loud cheers. The Whig" came in. Lord Shelboume and Charles Fox were appointed Secretaries of State, and the prospects of England seemed to brighten up as these gentlemen moved off from "the blank re gions of opposition" this was a saying of Sir Uobcrt Peel and took their seats on the right ' hand of the Speaker. They were very happy i of course, in the change. But a cloud soon ' deadened the sunshine of their smiling faces. Ireland was not down, but up. . The beggar was not in rags, but in uniform and crossbelts. Cheers. He had a Bill of Rights in one hand and a musket in the other. Continued cheers. . :no longer scrawled his dutilul submission upon foolscap, but cut a menace upon the breaching of his cannon. Immense applause. The vol unteers were 100,000 strong, the King's troops did not reach the figure of "000. An English regiment crossing Essex Bridge, halted to let a regiment of volunteers pass on the latter com ing up the Quay, having levelled bayonets to to dispute the pass. Fox saw clearly there was nothing to be done by force the force was all on one side this time, and ou the right for a wonder. He thought it better to try a little diplomacy. 'Tis always the way with that English Whiggery. When Samson is strong Delilah is instructed to inveigle and reduce him. When Sams-m is sliorn of his strength, the Philistines put out his eyes, and send him to grind in the prison house. Grattan loved Charlemont loved him for the sweetness of his nature, the grace which nil his actions wore, his spotless honor, and the order of his mind. He loved him tenderly and in tensely, so that every word coming from "tin good and gracious nobleman" as he styled him, seldom failed to work upon his mind the most serious impression. Fox knew this, and sent Lord Charlemont to Grattan. with a request that the Declaration of Rights should be held ovti tor a short time. Grattan lay sick in bed. when Charlemont called upon him; his lank features were pah with exhaustion. his bony fingers chilled tht feat! -of his friend and patron Mhs'toocbocI tiem with gentle fondness. He listened tran jiiilly at first, to the proposal turning his worn, ace and gazing with mournful wilderness upon his visiter, but by quick degrees his eye filled with a wild light the blue veins along his long mi 1 wit In red arms'swelled with a sudden rush of blood ; he sprang upward in his bed, and shak ing his clenched hatid, cried out "No time, no tim; the question is public property ; it can not, shall not be postponed." Immense ap plause. Mr. Meagher then gave a very graphic and brilliant description of the mustering of the Volunteers iu Dublin ou the lGth of April, 1782. Of the Dubliu Volunteers planted round the statue of William III., iu College Green, with the Duke of Leinster Lord Ed ward's Uncle at their head. There upon the left the Dunlavan Light Dragoons, and lower down in Dame street, j in close column, the Dunmore Rangers, and their Colouel, Sir Robert Staples, exchanging! sly glances with the ladies iu the balcony of . Daly's Coffee House, opposite. Loud laugh- ! ter. Then the Merchants' Corps and the Mer- ' chants' Artillery, with their six-pounders and howitzers, and old Napper Tandy at theii head ; J and then the crowd of glad citizens bending down with their heaving weight the iron gate : works of the Castle ; and up the whole of Graf- j ton street to College Green, and inside the rail- I ings of the C dlege, and crossed upon the walls ' fronting the Provost House, and down College street,, and the streets that opetrinto it and up -, and down an I all over the leads and parapets of the houses, as far as eye can see are hundreds and thousands of glad citizens, with eyes strain ing with excitiment with delight, and pride, and hope, and exstacy waving their hats wa ving greeu flags and branches and filling the air with their wild hurrahs for Henry Gratt.in and the Volunteers. He then went on to de scribe the scene within and around the Senate House. How under a gallery supported by pillars of a massive mould four hundred la dies, the fairest daughters of the land are seat ed their white arms bound with chains wrought iu crusted gold, and stones of crimson, violet, . and green their brows shadowed with the soft clu.-terings of flowers and feathers, tributes to a higher beauty from the gay and beautiful crea tures of the earth and sky below these, the soldiers, and the statesmen the chivalry and the genius of the island. Mr. Meagher contin ued his vivid and life-like description of the : pageantry of that day amid the continued ap- '. plause of his delighted auditory. , In the fullest and broadest significarce of the phrase it was a great occasion, and in Henry (rattan there was a man equal to that occasion. Then, as now, the example of America quick- ened the pu'se, confirmed the resolves, deepen- pd the confidence of the wronged, the armed, the aspiring communities of Europe. j To this example did old Grattan on that glo rious day appeal, when he said "Before you de- . c-iue on the practHsabrlity of being slaves for ever, look to America. Whatever is bold and disconsolate sullen virtue and wounded pride all, all to that point will precipitate, and what you trample on in Europe will stin&r you in Amer ica. When America sends forth her ambassa dors to the different Kings in Europe, and man ifests to the world her independence and power, do you imagine yon will persuade Ireland to be satisfied with an English Parliament making laws for her satisfied with a refusal to her loy- i alty. of those privileges which were .offered to J the arms of America ?". j It was done.

' The claim of England would cancelled on the spot, and the mighty Empire the Royal Elephant, with the spoils of India ou his back whose march is with the Sun gave in, was docile-aye, gentfe as a sucking dove, (laugh ter) went down upon the knees for once, to that poor stripling, who. in the language of the great or.itor of our race, went forth as it were, with nothing but a stone and a sling, and the favor of Heaven to ac nmplish its redemption. How the r'ory of that day was darkened ; how the volunteers disbandei'; how the Senate was dis missed; how a condition of society and governm't, meaner and more disistrous than before, was rigorously imposed, I have neither time nor heart to tell. Nor is it here required for the policy of our foes, which promulgates the less creditable chapters of our history, so that in our bad name among the strangers they may have an apology for the deeds they hare done and the mischief they would perpetuate this policy exhaustion in its cunning, as it is coii- scienceless in its daring has made known, in speech and pamphlet, the venality which under mine the fabric reared by Grattan. j That the Irish Parliament. wis an imperfect institution that it deserved the gr enter share of the distrust, the cennre. the aversion, the insubordination with which it was visited I am not here to deny, but to assert.

The following is the statement of Mr, Geo Walker, of Susciuchaiina county, wh took a several other competitors, but 9jf bushels to the acre, raised by John R- Bitzer, of Lancaster county, was the next highest, and 93, by John A. M'Rea, of W hite Marsh, Montgomery county, was the next. George Walker's mode of Cultivation . . He ploughed Jive acres of green sward, for corn, the begining of May, and hauled one hundred loads of manure on the same. After the manure was spread, the ground was well harrowed, and planted the last of May, iu rows 3 feet apart, running north and south, and 3 feet apart in the rows, ruuning east and west ; from three to five grains in the hill. Two bushels of lime, mixed with three bushels of plaster, was applied to 6aid five acres very soon after it came up. A plow did not enter the field after the com was planted. The ground was Kept loose anauienow. and the grass and weeds subdued by the use of the cultivator, making but little use of the hand hoe. A specimen of the corn was exhibited at the State Fair at Lancaster, in October, being of the white flint 6pecies. eight rowed, small cob and long ea. s more than one foot iu length. In add i turn to the enormous yield, onehundred and sixty bushels to the acre, of shelled corn, the same field, containing five acres, produced twen ty tons of superior pumpkins, some of which weighed more than 41 pounds. Said field is sit uated on one of the highest hills in Susquehanna county, being an Oak, Pine, Beech and Sugar Maple ridge 6oil a sandy loom, GEO. WALKER. October 20. 1852. This statement is accompanied by the certifi cates of Hon. Win. Jessup, Wm. D. Cope and A. Chamberlain, certifying that they measured the field, counted the rows and hills in each row, and husked twenty-six hills, being a fair average of the whole field, and that this made a yield equal to 1C0 bushels of shelled corn to the acre.

Tn Professor Goodrich's "Brit'sh E'oonence," we find the following pionnnt anecdote illustra tive of the ncerdcpcy of Ioid Chatham ("WiM iam Pitt) over the Duke of Newcastle. The for mer .was then prime minister, and the latterwas at the head of the freesury. Newcastle was a valetudinarian, and was so fearful of taking cold, especially, that be often ordered the win dows of the Hquse of Lords to he phut in the hottest weather, while the rast of the peers were suffering for want of breath. On one occasion he called upon Pitt, who was confined to his bed by the gout. Newcastle, on being led into the bed-chamber, found the room, to his 'dismay, without fire, in a cold wintry afternoon. He begged to have one kindled, but Pitt refused; it mitrht be iniurious to bis gout. Newcast'e . . drew his cloak around him. and submitted w the worst possible grace. The conference was a long one, and the discussion continued until the Duke was absolutely shivering with cold; when at last, seeing another bed in an opposite cor ner, he slipped in. and covered himself with the bed-clothes! A secretary coming in soon after, found the two ministers in this curious predica ment, with their faces ouly visible bandying the argument with great earnestness, from one bed side to the other!
