PUBLIC MEETING IN CARDIFF. On Thursday evening a public meeting waa held in the Crown Court of the Town.w.u., Cardiff, for the purpose of raieing aubacriptiona for the relief of the diatresa in Ireland. The Mayor of Cardiff (Mr. J. M Connochie) preaided. and amongst thaae proseDt were the Rev. C. J. Thompson, the Rev. G. A. Jonea, the Rev. Father Kiohardaon, the R-jV. Father HMriaoa, the Rev. Father M'Cormiok, Alderman Lewis, Councillor D. Jonea, Councillor T. Evana, Councillor G. A. Stooe, CouuoHlor Treaeder. the Town.cieik (Mr. Whoatley), aleaara. J. A.

Langhland. E. Grogac, W. Jones, L. Tyior, D. W. Thomaa, T. P.W. Carey. J. Waring, W. F. Scephenaon, W. R. Smith, and othere. The MAYOR, in opening the meeting, aaid the aubjeot which had brought tham there that night waa one of painful importance. No man deserving of the name could hear the cry o! the atarvmg women and children without feeling that he mnat do aomething to allevittta the dlMt There could, he thought, be no doubt that aome parte of Ireland were in a terrible state, and that no single district waa free from hunger. Mr. Simpeon, a. town councillor of Liverpool, who lately viaited Ireland, had atated that he found the people living upon aeaweed aud a kind of ahell 6th found upon the rocka, which waa gathered by them. It waa absolntely necessary, he said, that relief ahould be aent at once to prevent atarvatian, which, in hia view, waa imminent. The Duohesa of Marlborough had aent ooc vision to every heart by her womanly appeal, and she aaid that ao great waa the want and suffering that, aniesa apecial and extensive enbrta were made, thousands of our Iriah fellow aubjecta would jhave to go through a!Ij) the horrorst of & famine before the year waa over. The newspapera teemed with atoriee of sunering perfectly appalling in them. selves, aad a description given by the tpcoial correspondent of the TeLegraph of two soenea he witnessed, were truly he<u't- Mnding. Could Engliahmen Mid Welshmen who gloriec in the saying that according to the English law no man could atarve—couid they ait with their arms folded while thouaanda were by inches, aa the laying waa? Aeaurejiy not. (Applauae ) The appeal they were making that bad nothing to do with politico or religion; it began with humanity, and it ended with humanity, and he knew his Cardiff townsmen too well to fear for a moment that they would not do their duty. The aad state of Ireland had only to be known to touch all hearta. He had jast made an appeal in favour of the Rowland Hill Memorial Fucd, which he hoped would be responded to; but the claima of atarving men, women, aud children were, he admitted, a; hundredfold creater The value of a popular aubaoription waa that aH ahonid give little, and he was coBndent that no one would refuse to give. 'Applause.) In conclusion the mayor called upon Mr. Burns to propose the nrat resolution. ;fir. J BURNS said that in considering the dia. tre.iB'ia ireland, it waaadviaabia that theyahoald limit themeeivea entirely to the social side of the Queaticc, and have noting to do whatever with pciitica or religion. Therefore, he aaked what waa the preaent atato of Ireland, and how ooutd the wanta cf the IrL-h people be beat supplied? He found in aome quu- tera doubta were entertained aa to whether the destitution waa so eericua a. Wig '!eJ)rel!t-r.d, and he would try to show by eX!Mtø the newspapers, that the statement < which had been made ere oorr.Mt.

There could be no doubt deep toiaery and distress prevailed in Ireland, eapec.aLy ou the Western Coaat, and one of the preaaiag problJ,ma of the litre wap, how wad too diatrood in Ireland to be dealt with? He believed that aomo notion wculo havf to be taken by Government, and when Parliament assembled he exoeoted that the subject would receive full consideration. The best way to provide relief would bo t-, promote such induatriea aa would enable tha peasantry of Ireland to help themaalvea, and ho was pleaded to obaervo that several practi.l suggestions had already been In the meanwhile, however, something muat be don, and he waa !?lad those meetings were bein held; at the same time he thougit they shoun give some expression of opinion on the point to which he had referred. In con. elusion Mr. Williams intimated that Mr. John Cory, who had ben unable to attend, had sent a subscription of .620—(applause) —and that a friend whom ho had met whilst coming to tha meeting. Mr. J. Howell, had wished him to add .E5 5a en hi? beh&lf. (Applause.) He (Mr. Lewia Williams) would have great pleasure in subscri- bing a like amount, and he hoped they would all ccBtributo to the fund irrespective of creed or party. (Renewed applause.) The motion was carried new dis. Captain COPPER then moved "That the mer. chants, gentlemen, and tradesmen of Cardiff and the neighbourhood be invited to oontribate tow&rda relieving the diatresa in Ireland, and that the several banks in the town be requested to receive fubsoriptiona to bo placed to the credit of the feed He naid that they all ought to conio forward and to contribute to the rehef of thair own couiitryiBon—kith and kin, their fellow subjects of theQceeit, who were now anSering in Ho would be giad to subscribe .85 5 j. (Applause.) Counoiljor STONE seconded the motion. He said they had heard a great deal of the spirited foreign policy of the Government— The MAYOR No politiee.

He would have much pleasure in adding his name to the list for £¿) 5a. The Rev. Father BicHARDSON supported the motion. He said had met to do something for poor Ireland, she was in distress, the tea: s were on her oheeka; she was sister, and as Christian men they wore trying to do their best to give her assistance. It was one of the beautiful characteristics of England that wherever there was want or distress her heart and money went to its alleviation; and he was proud to be amongat them. Mid to show hia approval of the effort they were now making. (Applause.) The resolution waa carried unanimously. Mr C. J. JACKSON remarked that a pennyworth of pity waa worth a pound of praiae, and those gentlemen who had come forward and had ao generously contributed to that great and good object wore deserving of every praise. He for one had given hia mite, but he would endeavour to do more, ho would raise hia aubaoription to j65 5a. (Applause). In conclusion, he proposed that the corporation of Cardiff be invited to co operate with the eorporationa of other towna in preaenting to Parliament, through the members of their several boroughs, a petition asking them tom*ko a grant of money, to bo devoted to the relief of the diatresa in Ireland. Mr Stone had referred to the spirited foreign policy of the Government; let them hope that the Government would show a spirited home policy, and adopt such measures aa would anord substantial aasiatanco to the people of Ireland in thia their time of need. The MAYOR: I think wo ahould aak the Govern- ment to do what they think right and proper when they meet. Mr. R.

A meeting of the unemployed labourers of Dublin, convened by circular, waa held on Thura. cay morning on Harold a uroas Green. About a thousand people were preaent. The black 1hg waa carried, and a loaf of bread upon a pole waa prominently displayed. A working man named Mooney took the chair and addressed the crowd. He said they had met to take counsel aa to the moat legal and judicioua method ot obtaining employment to keep themaolvea from atarvation ana the workhouse. They heard every day of large sums being aent to distant parta of the country to relieve distreaa there, but nothing had been done for the poor at home. C?J? ? ?*? ohMity, but if there waa charity, it should commence at home. (Cheers.) Te poor of J)ub, who were huddled together without food, nrmg, or even a bed to lie upou, had been too long neglected. They were wdling to work, and work tbeJ must ha.ve. (A, Voice- II Bread or work.") A labouring man named Murphy waa the next speaker. He aaid the labouring man wanted work from the opulent olaeaea of Ireland. They were not going to beg, but to aak for work. If auoh a atate ot poverty exiated m England aa in Ireland, what would be the consequence ? (A voice: Revolu- tion "—cheers.) AU Ireland waa in a atate of poverty, and the farmers could not get seed for thfir land. Be could not address a respectable but impoverished audience like that before him without mentioning the name of the noble Ducheaa of Marlborou<:h, who had the prayers and the bleaaing of the atarving working olaaae oi Ireland. (A cheer.) They wanted repro duotivo WOlke; they wanted the authoritioa to exert themselves on behalt of the well-intentioned but poor working olaaaea of the city. The Chairman (Mr. Mooney) again addressing the meeting, aaid they ahould act Srmly, but within the law. He called upon them to march with him through the atreeta of Dublin to ahow the people their condition. "Let them go to the Manaion Houae and represent their ciroumatanoeatotheLordMayor." (Cheera) The crowd then, forming into a prooeaaion, marched into Dublin with the. Mack nag at their head.

NIHILISM IN ST. PETERSBURG. THREATENING A PRIEST. DISCOVERY OF TREASONABLE LETTERS. According to the Moscow CazeMe, the foUowing curious incident occurred in St. Petersburg a few days ago :—Aa I have already informed your reader s, rigorous efforts are being made by tha Russian ecclesiastical authorities to counteract the spread of Nihilism. One of the priests attached to the Isaac Cathedral lately delivered a sermon in condemnation of the revolutionary propagandists, and a day or two after. wards he was surprised to receive at his house a visit from three young men, who ex. pressed a great desire to make hia personal acquaintance. As soon as they wore announeed by the eervaBt, the priest suspected there wu eomethiBg wrocg, and before asking them in the precaution of sending for an attendant to be present during the interview. In the preSen(H of this person the three men informed the pr'ee? that, in hia sermon delivered in the Isaac Ca.tne dral, he had insulted the better of the young generation," and that they had c 'me to ask him never to repeat anyth ng of the ki\1,t again. On the priest's replying that he always preach what hi9 duty and conso!eB09 rlio tated, one of the trio drew a revolver from hi- pocket, and levelled it at the priest. Fortunately the attendant, who had been called in, seizad the would-be assassin in time, wreMh,)d tho weapcriout of hia hand. T ho other two attempted a reeoue, but all the servants in the house making their appearance, the "better representittveaof the rieiBg generation were matched o2 M the police station. A Router's telegram, dated Sc. Petersburg, Thursday, says :—A trunk containing revolu- tionary pamphlets was ciaoovered on the lat inst iE a sailor's quarters of the Duke of marine corps at Nioolaieff.
