GREAT MEETING IN BOSTON.

By the following paragraphs, which we copy from the Boston Morning Post, we are gratified to perceive that the people in Boston have aroused from their lethargy, and boldly stood forth in defence of their rights against the encroachments of the Bank aristocracy. It appears also that a few minions of an infuriated faction, attempted to interrupt the proceedings of the meeting—but they received a severe and merited drubbing, and were kicked out of the Hall.

THE PEOPLE AROUSED!

The Temple, last evening, was so densely filled, immediately after the doors were opened, that it was almost impossible to organize the meeting. This, however, was finally effected by calling the Hon. William Foster to the Chair, and electing Samuel Dexter, Jr. Esq, Dr. Charles Douglas, William Andrews and Charles Ewer, Esqs, Secretaries. Upon taking the Chair, Mr. Foster addressed the meeting at considerable length, with great force and animation, but was repeatedly interrupted by calls for an adjournment to Faneuil Hall. Mr. J. W. James, after Mr. Foster had finished his remarks, rose and offered the annexed Resolutions, which were received with the most enthusiastic approbation, and ordered to be printed. During the reading of the Resolutions, it was estimated that one thousand people attempted to gain admittance into the Temple, who were unable to effect their purpose, the Hall being so completely filled previously—there were at least two thousand persons within its walls. After the Resolutions had been read, the call for an adjournment to Faneuil Hall was universal, and a motion to that effect was carried by acclamation, and the meeting was adjourned accordingly, to meet at Faneuil Hall, tomorrow evening.

From the same—March 15.

IMMENSE MEETING.

The meeting of the PEOPLE last evening at the OLD CRADLE OF LIBERTY, was as large as the size of the Hall would admit; not less than six thousand individuals were present. For some time after the meeting was organized, its proceedings were disturbed by a large number of Bank men and boys; but they met with a New Orleans defeat—were thrust out of the Hall, neck and heels, and quietness thereby restored. A large number of gentlemen addressed the vast multitude assembled, whose remarks were received with the warmest manifestations of approbation, and the following Resolutions [introduced at the previous meeting] were unanimously adopted. Among the gentlemen who addressed the meeting were Messrs. Chase, James, C. G. Greene, Thomas, Luther, Howard, O'Brien, and Douglas. The whole proceedings were concluded by twelve cheers for the General Government. The OLD CRADLE never rocked a worthier child—nor ever sent back the echo of more patriotic resolutions. It was a proud spectacle for the democracy of the city—and an humiliating one for the panders of the Bank.

[We find it impossible to give these patriotic resolutions a place in this day's paper.—Ed. Herald]
