Ireland's Gratitude. - The following resolution was adopted unanimously, amid loud cheers, at a great public meeting, held in City Lecture Room, in Finsbury, London, on the 24th of March. Mr. Jones proposed, and Mr. Harrold seconded the resolution:
"That, overpowered with heartfelt gratitude at the prompt, decisive and energetic benevolence of the people of the United States of America, in their spontaneous and unsolicited aid to the poor peasantry of Ireland, we feel language to be inadequate to give expression to our gratitude to that noble and independent people; betokening, as it does, to the nations of the earth, whether afflicted by distress caused by providential calamities or internal im- policy, that there is a great and magnificent people on our globe, ever ready with hope, succor and consolation in the hour of need, calling forth the overjoyed thanks of this meeting, the lasting gratitude of Ireland, and the admiration of the world."
