sql.gor boom* daily more apparent, sines then the violence of Bowe f a pewee was exerted without limit to meats through out this country the worst opinion of my go vernment and myself. Fint, M. Sartorius, in an official paper, set forth that the late military move ment was the work of foreign gold; then the articles in the government pests, the other pipers now having ceased to so rter, accused in pretty broad terms the Boglish government . of having most prodigally given the gold; I snrell of bemg an amain ; in short, no tale km been too ridiculous or too =oestrous not to be circulated. Still I have kept on my own way. avoiding every cause for quarrel or direuaaion, with a moderation even perhaps beyond my duty. First, I bought a conversation with the Duke of Sotomayor, and having ex changed very fair and satisfactory verbal explanations wii h him, I med. him a private but written communication, on • Dort of understaoding that the same might be laid before the cabinet, and thus produce a good effect Unfortunately, my friendly cute met with a discourteous and unexpected reply, while the daily publications get even yet mote turiwusly abusive. I answered, uotwithatanding, thi List discourtesy with calmness; and 1 referred ell subjects of c Anplaint You. Our closing extract from these papers is the following most extraordinary letter, ordering the British envoy to de part Madrid, May 17, 1848.—Sir,—Consideratione of the highest importance impose on me the painful duty of ad ds sling mysilt to you, with the object of communicating to you a determination of the government of her Majesty, a dopted with as much reluctance u it is prompted by the purest (*snags of loyalty. You are well aware how public opiiii tttt in this country has pronounced itself through the press, and in every possible wa), against your person, with r sped to n cent evoi.ts. The effort/of the gevernment would not be sufficient to restrain the deep resentment which the worthy inhabitants of the city and its loyal garrison enter tain; and her Majesty's irivernment his serious •pprehen done for the safety of the person of the representative of Ore -t Britain at Madrid, if unfortunately the woes which twice have filled with tribulation this pacific capital should be repeated. Your conduct, in the execution of your important mission. has been r probated by public opinion in England. ensured by the British press, and condemned in the Br fish pnrttemrnt. liar catholic Majesty's govern meet cannot defend it, when that of her Britannic Majesty has net done so. In this state of things, your remaining at Madrid iv considered in this country, doubtlessly without foundation, as a proof of the weakness of the government, and if this opinion should gain strength, it might occasion some conflict, wnicn it is indispensable to avoid at any cost. For these reasons, which the loyalty 01 the British people and of its government, cannot otherwise than appreciate at their true value, her Majesty's government has resolved to put an end to all these fatal contingencies by trausmitting you your passports, and re questing you within the term of 48 hours, or sooner if pos sible, to quit this capital, for circumstances are urgent, and there would be much to lament if this took place too late. On fulfilling the painful duty of making so disagreeable a communication to you, I must declare to you with all sin eerily that her Majesty's government does not, with this step. pretend to wound in the slightest degree the dignity of the British government nor of the British nation, and, on the contrary, it considers it proper to state to you, upon this tic onion, that not only it does not conceive that your deem ture can b- a motive which way weskeu the relations of good friends!) o and harmony which exist between Spain and England, an intimacy which no one apple. Mates more than the Spatiah government ; on the contrary, it conceives that this step may greatly contribute to draw them still cheer, as the ethical circumstances of Europe. and as the advantage of the two nations would indi este. Use Majesty's government flatten itself that the go vernment of her Britannic fdsjesty will do justice to the loyalty of its intentions, particularly when it has made the proper explanation which would satisfy the delicacy of the court of St. James's. I have, consequently, the honour of inclosirg herewith the proper passport for yourself and the person. who may accompany you, and the necessary license for post horses on the road.—l avail, ftc.—(Signed)—Et Dl:taLli DR SOTOlittott.

THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 29, 1848. FREE LABOUR IN THE BRITISH COLONIES. PUBLIC MEETING. Oa Saturday, a public meeting of " all persons deaireus of upholding the apts.' of freelabour in the British °Anna' porres.ions, And of preventing this country from be coming dependent for its supp'y of sugar and coffee upon the extension of cultivation by means of slavery and the slave trade," was held in the great room at the London Tavern, and was numeromy attended by the leading City commer cial men of all ahMets of political opinions. The retail we. crowdsti in every pert. On the motion of Mr. Samuel Gur ney, seconded by Mr. William Cotton (late governor of the Bank of England), Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P., was called to the chair, amidst loud chef re. The CllAtallate said that the commercial community of the City of Looduo was not often in the habit of meeting on the subject of policy, or for the discussion of poFtical subject. ; indeed, they had often been accused by the . youdger and more active membe rs of the commerce' body. of neing passive, dilatory. sod slavish in respect to such mut ters. He (the chairman) for one we, very glad that such wee the case because he believed that each of them better promoted his own interests, and better performed his duty to his country by acting in his own particular sphere for the e,neral welfare, in such a way as to increase that welfare by attention to bu.iness id times of national prosperity and by struggling against national adversity wben adversity at tacked the national body. (Caeca.) rejoiced to hear that sentiment so responded to by his fellow citizens, and he trusted it would always remain a characteristic of the com mercial community of the City of London that they wise not friends to political ag ta inn (Applause) At the same time, however, events and circumstance, might arise, in ankh it might become the duty of the commercial body to express an opinion, and .specially when they saw the pros perity and :Mance of any portion of her Majesty's domi nions, or of any portion of their fellow-subjects, threatened with ruin and annihilation in consequence of a course of great national policy which had been deliberately adopted by the country being virtually if not openly reversed and changed. It was impossible for the mord cursory observer of passing events or the most superfi cial reader of the statements made before the select com mittee of the House of Commons on the subject of colonial agriculture—it was impossible for any man who mixed in any society whatever—not to be aware that at the present moment the interests of the British colonies were in a state of most critical danger. (Hear, hear) When he used the term "Interests," he begged not to be supposed to allude merely to those in the colonies who hitherto had been tee powwows of property there, but also to the labouring population ; be cause in no country could property be ruined without injury to poverty. You could not render a man, hitherto wealthy, a pauper, without reducing the labourer to the condition of a beggar, and in the colonies the course of the legislature had not only destroyed the value of property, but had seriously affected the progress of civilisation, by disturbing the whole social system, to which alone they could look fur gradual Improvement and advencement in well-being, morals, energy and activity, which, under the blessing of Providence, could only be promoted by the in dustrious habits of a population newly emancipated and be coming happy labourers. (Cheers.) At present they were ha this position: the colonies had not only, by bad legislation, become valueless and discontented, but also most expensive appendage, to the mother country. (Cheers.) It wee ha. pusible that the colonies could contribute to the mainte nance of their own defence, to the expenses of their own go vernment, or to the suatentation of peace and tranquillity, li when property in them had been annihilated and all the sources of revenue drained and exhausted He had men it stated that when the colonies became useless and unproduc tive this country could turn them adri ft . Wnat, were the colonies to be allowed the management of their own finances, when this country had mired their power of producing any revenue ? This would be on the principle of telling a man whose pockets you had emptied that it would be un just to interfere with hie disposal of his own moneys. (t. Hear," and a laugh.) But England could not adopt such a course so long as any portion of the dominions of the crown clung to the mother country with feelings of loyalty and na.ional devotion and sympathy —no English minister—no member of the British public would, fur the mere purposes of economy, tell the British eolonists that they should neither have the support, maintenance, nor protection which, as British subject', be longed to them. (Loud cheers.) This question was one of pounds, shillings, and pace—not simply a question of one penny per pound protection on sugar, but involving an ex penditure of millions on millions to maintain colonies which this country bad herself ruined. (Hear, hear.) Then arose mother consideration. If this country destroyed gradually hut rapidly the cultivation of the produce of those colonies which hitherto had mainly furnished -upplies to this market, was it not evident that perhaps for a time, but per tops permanently, the price and cost of the commo dity would be enhanced? You could nut diminish the supply of 260,000 toes of colonial sugar without knowing that the result would be to raise the price to the consumer for a time until the supply of production had re gained the power to meet increased consumption, and thus came the last question, viz., how was the increased !supply to be produced when they had swept away the production, by free labour, of 2.50,000 tom per annum? Why, it was mani fest this increased supply could only be obtained from those countries which cultivated their produce by slave labour to create that increased supply those countries must obtain an increase of the number of their labourers, and that increased number of labourers could only be secured by a great and vast extension of the slave trade. (Loud cheers) II some yeah ago he had ventured to say that an Englishman grudged a little addi'ion to the cost of his sugar in order to psevent the eatestshmt 01 slavery and the perpetuation of the slave trade he should have been told that he much under-rated the philanthropy of nation— he should have been told that it was not cheap sugar but philanthropy that guided and dictate. the policy of the legislature. But he must say, without im pugning the motives which actuated all the exertions made for the abolition of slavery by the great men who had been the leaders of that movement, and who had no ether feeling than that of the most unalloyed philanthropy, that if those exertions had been known to lead to the annihilation of the property of their fellow-subjects in the colonies, and to the consequent ruin of the colonies themselves., and to establish that for the future Great Britain wu only to look for a sapply from slave-growing countries, then this nation must be stamped by posterity as • nation of hypocrites and • nation of fools. (Loud cheers.) Looking at the present meeting and those who were around him, he felt it would he impertinent if he presumed to offer to them atly recommendation. This wee not a party meeting—in fact in these days he hardly knew what and where party was; but this he did know, that if ever there had been a cause victimised by party struggles and by party feeling, it wu the cause of the British colonies. The colonies had the strongest grounds for complaint against all parties, for when the present government introduced the measure of 1848, that hill wee supported by Sir R .hert Peel, although everybody knew that if the right hon. baronet had offered one suggestion or word of advert) the government would have been induced to make a considerable modifica tine in that bill. (Hear, hear.) This question, therefore, was wholly distinct from all party considerations ; but a call was made by the colonists, and by those who were opposed to a dependence for • supply of sugar from slave-producing countries, upon all parties to unite in saving the colonies from annihiladon, and the policy of this cogntry from stultification and contempt. (Cheers) He said thus much because he should be sorry to take any part with the intention of embarrassing her Majesty's government; and on the other band he would not have taken the chair at any meeting declaring itaelf an anti-free-trade meeting ; for he believed theft. was not a free-trader, however firm and sturdy in his principles, who, looking at the state of the question, would not say at once that it wee taken out of the category to which the prin ciples of free trade ought to be applied. (Hear, hear.) He should not trouble the meeting any further—he had already trespassed too long. (" No, no.") The question upon which they had been called together was one of grave mi. perforce, owl would be treated upon by gentlemen of far greater abilities and knowledge of the subject than be pos se.sed. His aberrations had been dictated by the selfish wish of setting himself right for having taken the chair ; and he believed that if this meeting carried up its opinions to the government, it would not offend a prime minister who, in the most sincere and emphatic manner, bad lately declared that if it were the pleasure of this country to separate from or injure the colonies, he would nut be the instru ment to effect such a purpose, because he recognised those colonies as part of the dominions of the crown ; and looking at their extent of territory, their fertility, natural resources, and power, he felt that they were closely connected in the promotion of the glory and prosperity of the mother country. (Loud cheers.) Mr. S. Gvasiav proposed the first resolution, se follows : That this meeting, consisting of merchants, bankers, and others, of the City of London, assembled without regard to the political mews or private interests of any elate of ber ifajwitylit subjects, is of opinion, that, while it is an object of great importance to the people of this nountry too italn an aoundant and cheap supply of sugar and coffee, it is no Its desirable to combine with that object the maintenance of the system of free labour which has been established at so great • sect - Mee in the British colonial possessions. It was satisfactory to his mind that in all its bearings he could recommend the resolution te the unanimous adoption of the meeting. It was practical, and based upon sound policy and wisdom. Mr. F. HUSH seconded the resolution, which wu carried. Mr. W. Cortex proposed the secoad resolution IRELAND. - - That it appears bons the evklence taken before the select coin , mince on sugar and coffee yilanting appointed by the House of Corn mono In Pe bat, and from the published &witches of the go. terrors of her y's tropical possessions, that the competition itonsequent upon the ad of INS between the Awed and unrequited ' Lebow of slaw in Cuba and Brazil and the paid labour of our eman cipated perces, hes already brought the British oolonios, which had been previously straggling with the difficulties of their new vaition, to the brink of ruin, end endengered the existence of those civil and religious Institutions on which the future welfare and progress of their Inhabitants depend. Mr. M. T. Stara, M.P., seconded the resolution, which was then agreed to. Mr. C. !Ciao proposed the third resolution That the inhuman traffic in Mares, which, in the years 1544 and 1543, had been more alketuall chocked than at any antecedent period, Ina, according to the er given before the oosarnittee by Lord Palmerston, her Majesty's Secretary of State for PoreignAffinrst actually doubted in amount during the last two years. Mr. Gnomon Hatmos seconded the resolution, which was agreed to. Sir E. N. BUXTON, M.P. in moving the fourth resolu tion, said he was a sincere Partisan of Lord John Russell, and he would do that minister the justice to say, that it he had viewed the question as it was regarded by the merchants of London, he was the last man who, for the mere purposes of political advancement, would adhere to the mistaken policy which dictated the act of 1846. He begged to move the resolution u follows : That to stimulate on the one hand the demand for slaves in Cuba and Bradt, by enhancing the value of the products of their Lbout and on the other hand to make a show of checking the supply of Warn from Africa to those countries by armed haterrentioo, is an in.

Mr. BALMS seconded the resolution. Mr. RateaT, M.P. said he did not think the real= of the mating had been correctly set forth In the He conceived that the real object was, by the °ultimo* oral foreign sugar—(N.., no)—well, then, at least of all foreign. slave-grown been —to give protection to the West India planters, by enhancing the price of sugar in the rime mar. list. (No, no.) It was clearly the purpose with each of the speakers who had precede.. him to enlist the apt:patties a the meeting is favour of the West India interest, in their sow depressed condition, and to suggest that the application et free-trade principles to the article of sugar bad town the emu of the misfortunes of this interest If the West India isterest had never complained until 1847 or 1848, he might bum thought that probably there was some ground for im latiat distress to the act of '46 ; but the journals of par t showed that from time to time, for much more than the lut half century, the same complaints though not, certainly, to the same extent, had been, made by the same parties. Fifty years ago they petitioned parliament to enact that no rum should be consumed in the 11n i-h army or navy, except what was produced in the Bri tish West Indies. Of the large sum given by this country to the West India planters, a very large proportion bad gone to the honest and meritorious purism, of paying off incum. brances on their estates, which fact in itself showed that their difficulties were of somewhat later date than was suggested by the present speakers. He (Mr. Bright) was there to deny that the distresses of our West India colonies were at trioutable to the act of '46, and to deny that the modification nor repeal of that act would, in any degree, serve permanently to raise the price of sugar for the West India planters. There was a time, and no distant one, when the British Meet India planters were almost the sole producers of sugar for Europe, with a strict monopoly of the home market, and a very large shire in the supply of the continent. In 1828, when the produce of sugar to our West I oodia colonies was 224,000 tons, the prodtice of Cuba, Porto Rico, Brasil, and Jam, and of the rest of the world, was only 108,000 tons, lees than one half. In that year, Cuba, Brasil and Porto M , co sent large quantity of their sugar to the United States., Louisiana then producing scarcely any of the article. Of the Jun sugar, a great proportion went to Holland, so that the conti nental states generally bed to look to our planters for their sugar; and, of West India sugars, consumed 64,000 tons per annum. In the isms year, from our possessions east of the Cape, we had 25,000 tons, whereas in 1847. those possessions sent us no less than 135,000 tons; while Jays ' which, in 1828, sent us only 15,000 tons, in 1847 sc u t us 105,000 tons. On the other hand, Cuba and Porto Rico, which, in 1828, exported 65,000 tons, exported in 1847, 305,000 tons wid Bras.l, which, in 1828, exported 28,000 tons, exported in 1847, 112.000. In Louisiana, where, in 1828, so little eager was grown, that no return existed en the sub' net, it was, ex pected that this year 80,000 tons I would be produced, all slave grown sugar. In a word, while the consumers in this period had only increased 30 or 40 per cent., the growth of sager had increased ' 300 per cent. He pointed out to the meeting, that how ever so disposed, parliament could not take steps in various directions contemplated by the meeting and the provisions of existing treaties. To receive the free labour sugar of Java and Manilla, involved us in the necessity, pursuant to a treaty with the United States, of receiving on the same terms the slave-grown sugar of Louisiana, and receiving this we must, pursuant to a treaty with Spain, receive on the same terms the lave-grown sugar of Cuba. The average exports from our West India colonies to this country for many years past bad been about five millions per annum. Calculating the profits upon these exports at 16 per cent., he would say that, at 6 per cent., the sixteen and a half millions which had been paid to them for their slaves, would be more then equivalent, for ever, to this 15 per cant. There was no complaint en the part of the 924 per cent. of the West India population other than white, calling for the inter position of the meeting, and let the meeting beware, lest in their anxiety for .he 74 per cent., representing the white population, they did not wholly dstroy the interest of the 024 per cent. Mr. 0. AIJIMANDER, as an amendment more calculated in his ooinioa an promote the object of the meeting, moved : That in the judgment of the meeting the law of 1816 ought to be repealed, so far as itedrnitted slaw-grown sugar Into the country, free grown foreign sugar being Admitted on equal terms with the sugar of our own colonial pomeenona. He quoted, in support of his amendment, the following evidence of Mr. Deacon Hume before the committee of 1840 • Chairman Do you consider that the madam of our British role. Wes should be protected in our markets, tbs reentotions and Imps& meats which nuw exist in the colonies are seitreasowed I lam strongly of opinion that all our colonies would be abie to am with the world snot to become exceedingly prosperone,if they thereaelm had him trade off,red to than ; end, haring granted that boon to tthlteaeq, I think It would be wholly unnecemary to support them by any peateetYa MIMI, oomio.oditics in this country. At the same time, I must be ailmissil that they must be colooka that are placed in all respects spa ea 'pill footing with these remarks which produce shinier Um 1 came* conceive that having thirty years ago Wolin' the sane trade, and now abolished slavery itself, any question it has trade cm an,. between Jamaica and Cuba Cuba, with stealers et doh and fresh soi:, not only having the advantage of erapioylair slaves whatever that may be, but notoriously Unwed Um enennons amount of 40,0 8 0 or 10,000 slaves every par, ham, % hat, the sine trade, and slavery, and as the laws of dais country hue deprived the planter in Jamaica of that enema of miring hie madame, l woody* that this is a gusistlon like amend others, that am taken entirely eat vf Ilsewa re trade. Mr. Alexander, in conclusion, expressed his opinion, that Mr. Cobden and the free traders generally, did not concur with Mr. Bright on this subject. Cipt. ACititttLitT shouted out from the lower end of the room " I beg to second the amendment." (Loud cries of " No, nor- put tine original motion.") Mr. B:GURNET and Sir E. N. BURTON both urged the importance of perfect unanimity on this occasion, and strongly pressed the withdrawal of the amendment. Mr. 0. W. Al,axaguag eventually acquiesced, and the original motion .tea., after a few words from Mr. Scobell, put and unanimously mgr. ed to. Mr. R. D. MANGLES, M.P., in moving the sixth resoln non, expreosed his conviction that the West India colonies had been treated by this country with gems and cruel in justice. Reparation was due to them; at the same time he did not think the act of 1846 was the primary cause of the mischief; on the contrary, the great cause of all was the utter ineftt iency of the department known as the Colonial-office, which had always been a sort of national drag chain. (Hear, hear.) It was the duty of the Colonial ottice directly the Emancipation Act passed, to have taken energetic measures to furnish free labour to the colonies. This had, however, been neglected, end hence the present deplorable state of things. The hon. member concluded by moving : That the interests and the honour of the British empire see MOM eoseerned, in averting the destruction of the agriculture and trade d the colonies, and In securing the full suorens of the great experiment ofemancipation, the failure of which would indefinitely postpone the abolition of slavery throughout the world. Mr. HENRY TUITION briefly seconded the motion, which passed without a dissentient voice. Mr. Jostle GURNEY HOARE defended the anti-slavery party for the course they had taken throughout their labo rious exertions, sod moved the next resolution : That this meeting, while it would most strongly deprecate enrrisamP tem of Immigration which might lead to a renewal ef the A slave trade, by a payment in money or otherwise for a supply of la bowers from that country, and while it would be opposed to any enactment.. in th e colonies which may be incompatible with (red= and the Act of Ems cipation, is, nevertheien, of opinion that, la order to enable the liritoth colonies to competesucoessfully with slave trading counteise, It is highly desirable that her Maj. sty's govern ment should give prompt encouragement to the introduction of writable free labourers under proper supervision; that just relations should be maintained between employer sad labourer, to score to both the beoeflrs of Ireedom and industry, and that every local improve. merit which can tend to reduce the coot of production should be pro moted by generous; assistance on the part of the mother country. Mr. t;HAELIts BARCLAY briefly seconded the reeteution, which was supported by Mr. Rae, and carried unanimously. Mr. J. MASTattleaW, M.P., moved : That until them objects can be fairly accomplialsed, and the cotooles placed in a pootios to encounter a competition which must, ander the most favourable circumstances, prove formidable, they have a claim to slush support as.; alto I at them upon a footing of virtual equality in respect to Use coat of labour, with th es e countries in which alwery still exists. Sir C. Pawn, Bart., in seconding the resolution, said he WAS es free a trader as Mr. Bright, but he was convinced that the subtext which was ander discussion had nothing in common with free trade. The resolution was then agreed to. Mr. J. BAOSHLW, rd. P., proposed the 9th resolution : That the chairman be requested to oommunicate the foregoing resointions, in such manner as he Env deem proper, to the First Lord of the Treasury and Ire' Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonial Department. Mr. M. Winitiot having seconded the resolution, it was put and carried. A vote of thanks, proposed by Mr. RUSSELL Emaca to the chairman, was received with acclamation and passed unanimously. TRIALOF MR.MI rcHEL-VERDICT. DUBLIN, Faiosr, MAT 26. At a few minutes put ten the judges took their seats, and were received by a very crowded bar.—The Attorney • General rose and commenced with an exposition of the old law, involving the compassing of the Queen's death and levying of war. These offences were formerly punishable with death, if accompanied with overt acts; but, by the recent change in the law, these provisions were milicated, and the offence, ins tead of death, is now punishable with traneportatioa. The Attorney-General then referred at considerable length to the origin and pri mes of the United Irishman—the immediate attention it excited on the part of the government, and the influence it exercised on the order and tranquillity of the country. Government, however, did not interfere, and it wu not until Mr. Mitchel arrived at the subversion of all authority in his speech in Limerick, that government re• solved to vindicate tree law, and to question the right of any subject of the crown to promulgate avowed republicanism. This portion of the address was listened to with much atten tion by the jury. The " Barricade and Lord of Battle's" sentiment of Mr. Meagher wax repeated with milked em phasis, and leaning to Mr. Holmes, who sat opposite the At torney-General, observed, " I ask the able counsel, who will speak for the traverser in this cue, to tell you and the court hia sincere opinion of this language, uttered by Mr. Meagher anal confirmed by Mr. Mitchel " Mr. HoLmea (in a low voice)—" Wait awhile and you sisal! hear." The ATTORNEY GENERAL then turned to the article in the United iris/sown, aditres-ed to the protestant farmers of Ireland, on the 13th of May, in which he lays down the republican constitution only shadowed torch in Limarick. The bold words, "And how are we to meet that day? in $tW, my w 7 rla crass!" the Astorae7•peaseal dwelt upon forcibly and parmonately, and the jurors for the first time began to whisper with each other. The isoensaie• don of insurrection on the aiming harvest was also the subject of sharp comment. The third and last article on whicli the Attorney-General commented was Vie reply in the United Irishman to a violent tirade in the Times on Mr. Mitchell and the "battle of Limerick " The reading of the Timm Isadore:cited some amusement from i attempt at humour and foolish exaggeration. None felt more smutted than Mr. Mit chel himself, whe relaxed his habitual seriousness and smiled et the de-cription of the rerest from the Limerick barn. Mr. Monahan now approached the close of his addr se. Hav ing placed the facts Cully sod fairly before the jury, he touched on the cheep of picking the jury, brought against the government and himself. He denied alma, ther, on the pert oldie government and himself, any such foul design. Could he. a Roman Catholic him-elf, from conviction, feeling, and educiition, object to a Roman catholic juror, on the mere ground of his rel glen. It was a calumny on that government who had raised himself to the highest law Aloe in the gift of the crown. In this part of his speech the Attorney General's feelings appeared, during this portion of his address, to be much excited. "No man," said he, "was set @side who was not known to entertain similar po litical sentiments with the traverser. It was the injunction of the government to set aside no man on account of his religion. The instruction was, "obtain a fair, honourable, impartial jury, and object to uone solely on account of hie religion." The only evidence adduced was respecting the publication of the United frisAmein, and the identity of Mr. Mitchel with the utterance of the Limerick speech. This did not occupy more than a quarter of an hour, after which Mr. Houses addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner. After a few words on the character of Mr. Mitchel, he took up the statements of the Attorney-General, relative to the instructions in striking the jury. Mr. Holmes was bent upon severity, when the Attorney-General interrupted Mr Holmes, and remarked that the instructions did not emanate from the governm• rat hut from himself. The court con firmed this view, and Mr. Holmes turned to the challenge to the array. " The erywn struck off 39 Roman catholic—jury men—rake that will you, aid call the selection a fair and im partial jury." Toe 'Treason Felony Act was vigorously ex posed, Mr. Holmes discovered in its obscurity and antiquity what meant deposing the Queen from the honours and dignity of the imperial crown. Mr. Mitchel, said his counsel, neither sought to depose nor levy veer on his sove reign. He asked the court to state their opinion before he proceeded further. THE COURT refused, and Mr. Hotline proceeded, and in appealing to the feelings of the jury as Irishmen, he entered into a history of Ireland, when The Comm' interposed, and requested Mr. Holmes to limit his observations to matter pertinent to the defence. Mr. HolAnta, however, renewed the same line of obser vation, when the galleries bunt into applause. Mr. Holmes was commenting on the means whereby the union was carried, and pledging his character as a man and a lawyer that the people were justified in seeking the resumption of their parliament, if nt mammy, by force of arms. The Collar again interposed, and objected to such a mode of defence. _ _ Mr. HouxEs concluded with a peroration which produced s marked effect on the jury and the auditors in court. One cireunistance arrested the attention, that Mr. Holmes did not say a single word in defence oe the publications—but still his oration—tor an oration it was—was well calculated to affect the jury. Mr. HENN having replied, Judge Mooaa charged the jury. lie said the prisoner is charted with a very heinous offence. if be be innocent of it, it is of coarse of deep importance that he should not be found guilty or subjected to the consequences which are at tached to that crime. But, gentlemen, on the other hand, if he be guilty, it appears to me to be of deep importance to the law, to the administration of justice, and to the peace, tranquillity, and well-being of this country, that the man who has deliberately violated the law (if he has done so), should be made to undergo the punishment attached to that offence. This case will depend upon the construction that is to be given to the documents laid before you in evidence, and it is my duty to tell you, that the law leaves the construction of documents exclusively with you. But before I call your attention to the act of parliament on which this preeecutien is tonoded, I think it right to advert to some topics which have been advanced both on behalf of the prosecution and of the prisoner, which appear to me to be extraneous and irrelevant to the questions you have to try. The Attorney-General called your attention to the work of the formation of the jury. My learned brother (Lefroy) and myself would have felt it our duty to have pre vented any recu.venoe to such a topic by the Attorney• G eneral, if it were not that he himself was in some degree per sonally implicated in the formation of that jury, and we thought it but just and righ t that a man on whom a personal imputation h been cast should be afforded the opportunity of vindicating himself. Under that feeling alone we permitted him to refer to the mode in which the jury was formed. lam bound to tell you that topic should be entirely dismissed from your considera tion—it cannot form any ingredient whatever in the mode in which you are to arrive at a determination in this case. There is another topic to which the Attorney-General alluded, and fromiwhich, gentlemen. I would rather he had abstained, and that is what he celled the notorious efforts to intithdate the jury. No evidence to that effect has been given. If any such efforts have been made to intimidate the jury, and if the Attorney-General thought it was important to give evidence of that circumstance, he was at liberty to do so; but I trust that topic also you will dismiss from your consideration. If any such effort were made, come from what quarter it might, I am sure you will treat it with he scorn and contempt it month, end perform your duty uprightly sad honestly. The counsel for the prisoner had also introduced to you some ii relevant matters. He began oy expressing his opinion of the h meaty and sincerity of hi. client. lam sure he would not have pledged his word to any such opinion did he not entertain it; but, gentlemen, let Mr. Mitchel be honest, let him be sincere, and let him out forward these publications with the utmost honesty and sincerity of intention, all you have to say is—whether yen think the publication of these documents to be a violation of the provisions of a certain act of parliament. It is a prin ciple which never can be laid down in a court of justice that a prisoner is entitled to say, " True, I violate an act of parliament; I have committed a crime, and I am subject to the consequences attached to that ffence ; but in the opinion of my counsel lam an honest man. I put for ward what I am accused of with the utmost sincerity, and therefore I should be acquitted." That topic, although put forward by so able and amiable a man as Mr. 11 , Imes, and standing so high as he has ever done in public estimation, you are bound to disregard and dismiss from your considera tion. Mr. Holmes has also adverted to another extraneous and irrelevant matter ; indeed I cannot find any great fault with him for doing so, for it sprung out of the concluding observations of the Attorney. General. He has adverted to the feet that the =VII set aside no less than thirty-nine in. dividuaLs of thaw on the panel, and has made that a subject of imputation on some of the parties—l know not on whom connected with the crown. I am bound to tell you, that that topic, also, you are bound to dismiss from your coo sideration. The law has given certain privileges to the accused, and also to the accuser. The accused is allowed the privilege of challenging peremptorily twenty persons; he is not bound to assign any reason for it, and nothing could be more monstrously unjust than if counsel for the crown stood up, and said to a jury, " Oh, so doubtful was the prisoner of his case, that '3O exercised his privilege, and challenged 20 persons." I do not believe there I. a counsel in the land who, were he capable of laying down such a doctrine, would not be at once scouted out of court. The law has given the crown a corresponding privilege of striking persons off until the panel is exhausted. This right has been exercised ; and I do not see why that should be ma le a topic of comment to the jury. I should have been very glad that the vary able and learned counsel for the pri soner had not been guilty of any greater irrelevancy than this to which I have adverted ; but I regret to say that he has, in my judgment, and I believe I may add in the opinion of my brother judge, introduced a great' variety of topics perfectly foreign to the question you have to de cide, and many of them topics that is no court of justice ought to have been allowed to be used. He told you that Ireland is an enslaved country ; he has gone into a his tory of the union, and a history of the country before the union. He him denied the competency of the Irish parliament to pus an act for the carrying of the union. Let me ask, what have these topics ti do with the question you are sworn to decide, and to which I shall presently call your attention—that single question being, whether the prisoner at the bar is guilty of violating the provisions of a particular act of parliament ? Let the union be good or let it be bad. let the means by which it was putted be right or wrong, it was under that act you have been placed in the jury-box to decide this case. I trust you will dismiss every one of the topics I have mentioned from your consideration, as they are irrelevant to the question you have to decide. Gentlemen of the jury, I have already toll. you that the construction of the documents given in evidence is entirely and exclusively for you. The prisoner at the bar is indicted for the viola , tion of the provisions of en set of parliament Apt has bet very recently come into operation, That act received the royal assent on the 22nd of Anvil, 1848. If the import of the o b servations made by the aide counsel for the prisoner was, that they ought not to pay attention to that act of parliament, because it was passed by the imperial legislature, they should not accept that construction, but should understand from him (the learned judge) that it was a valid and competent act of parliament. The simple ques tion for the jury to decide in this case was, whether the act of parliament, which was unquestionably and beyond all doubt the law of the land, was violated by Mr. Mitchel. It was entitled an "Act for the Security of the Crown and Government of the United Kingdom,' and by the third section it was enacted that if any person should compass, imagine, design, or desire to depose her Majesty from the style, honour, and royal name of her imperial crown, and should express such compassing' or intentions by publications in print, or writing, or by open and advised speaking, he would be guilty of felony according to the provisioini of the statute. There was enothe- portion of the act which stated that if any man should compass to levy war against her Ma• iesty, in order by force or constraint to compel her to change her council or measures, and should expn es that intention by any publication or speech, that man was guilty of the offence ' provided for by the sot. In order to constitute an offence under the act two things should be proved. There first of all should be a compassing of one of the things prohibited by the statute. It was not sufficient that there should be merely such a oonspaa,ing in the mind of the prisoner- but he should have gone further, and expressed such compassing or intent by print or writing, or by open and advised speaking. It was perfectly plain that the first thing which the ury would have to in ' quire into was, had there been a pub lication by the prisoner at the bar; because if there was no publication, or that he was not the person connected wits those documents which had been given in evidence, they could not be brought in any wa to bear against him. It appeared, however, from the , that he wee proprietor of the publication called the touted freshman ; and, indeed, his counsel had net raised say question whatever upon that point. There still remained the more important, or rather equally important, and somewhat, perhaps, more difficult question (if there was any difficulty in the case at alit—namely, what wu the intention to be drawn or deduced from the publication in question. If they (the jury) were satisfied that the pri soner at the bar intended either to deprive the Queen of her royal title, or to levy war against her to compel her to change her councils, it was perfectly competent for them to find the prisoner guilty on both or either of them charges. If, on the contrary, they were satisfied that he enter tained no such intention, then, of course, it would be their duty to acquit him. The only means they had of moat taioing these intentions was by the publications them selves, which they should take with them Into the jury-room, and read with the strictest attention. They would not give a strained or forced meaning to any _part of them to the benefit or prejudice of the prisoner. They would not, of cotum,perrnit any passage to do him mischief; neither would these d t pri. Pt private document. t m e: •ny passage fy , and not in : were i r ty h is s b i r id7i : T et . h themyrhweoy, nw oul dy their whatroew was the impression which they fairly and honestly made on their minds. They would bring to the consideration of them their best judgment; and, having done so, they would be calls , upon to declare whether the crown had not put a right interpretation upon them. It was a very remarkable circumstance that counsel for . the prisoner had never once adverted to those publications, or made a single observation for the purpose of showing that the Attorney-General in hie oag s tha an ui r th t m t h ret e t oma n re t be to r h k re ad t i I f e p en u th f t taco i s a tth w w b.e ss r : po n r a r g eei t d nt i e rm i rP n .o r i ta h th i ti c ße San ri e itli ti : a l ert n °s o g e ugt eu h Pa t u yt rd hnad n4 og o4 to determine this, or in any way to influence the m inds of the jury. Counsel for the prisoner had taken the course which he thought most beneficial to hie client; and if he had abstained from adverting to the purport or meaning of wasm .meaning reaso n fixed uponw h y them t h were b t h y e t h do c uments too o c crownut l e e n w ro u r granted the e g t u n iethate meaning . the . But, before you come to any conclusion as to the interpreta tion you will put on these passages, you will aced) , your selves what is the interpretation which ought fairly and justly to be placed upon them. It is, however, my duty to draw your attention to those passages in the publieations re ferred to which are relied on by the crown to sustain the charges against the prisoner set out is the indictment. The fist charge is that accusing the prisoner of an intent to de prive her Majesty of the style, honour, and name of the im perial crown, and. I will call your attention to the passages in those publiations which appear to bear upon that part of the indictment. In the beginning of the speech made by Mr. Mitchel he asserts " that mob law is better than government law ;" and says, " rather than endure one other year of British dominion, I would take a provisional government *cleated out of the men that are bellowing there in the street." That the expression of the prisoner's opinion of British ' dominion, a dominion constituted of the Queen, Lords, and Commons, and he states in direct and unmistakeatile terms, that sooner than endure another year of the dominion of that Queen, Lords, and Commons, he would take a proviaional government from the mob that we. howling is the street. Now what is the meaning—the ordinary natural meaning of the words—a provisional government? Can you understand the existence of a provisional government in the sense it appears to have been used here with the existence of the sovereign of the United Kingdom? Can any one doubt—urs ine he shuts his earn to everything going on is the world— that this expression of the prisoner with referenc, to a pro visional government alluded to what has recently taken place in another country, where a provisional government was created ? And you, gentlemen, need not be told that the proceedings which have occurred in that country were at tended with the destruction of the monarchy of that country —the abolition of the existing government, end the deposi tion from the throne and kingdom of the monarch ; and it will be for you to say if the passage I have cited advocates the establishment of • similar provisional government. you. are to say if the man who openly avows has hatred of British dominion, meaning thereby the present government,. end states that sooner than endure one year of that dom inion he would take a provisional government from the mob— you are to say if ho does not contemplate events from which such a provisional government might be established. The next plume to which I will draw your attention one contained in the tome speech. He says : " I cannot condemn the alternative put by Mr. Meagher, who says when the hut constitutional appeal shall be made, and shal fail, then up with the barri cades and invoke the God of Battles." Now, gentle men, what was Mr. Meagher's opinion ? Not that the barricades shall be put up at once, but that a coustitutional appeal should still be tried—and if every coustitutional means should fail, then, and not till then, were the barri cades to be erected and the God of Battles invoked. But let us see if Mr. Mitchel is satisfied with that. He says, " Can I repudiate this, who hold that constitutional appeals are long since closed against us—that we have even new no re: mune except when we have the means or the pluck to do it —the barricades and the God of Battles." Thus, gentle. men, you perceive he goes far beyond Mr. Me other ; he approves of what Mr. Meagher proposes, but he goes a great deal farther himself. He says, " here is no con stitutional sppesl for us, the time is gone by fur that ," and again, the sedition and treasons of these gentlemen I accept and adopt, and I ask for more whatever has been said or dose by the most disaffected person in all Ireland against the existence of the party which calls itself the government—nothing an go too far for ine." We know that there have been in Ireland disaffected men whose acts even brought them under the charge of treason, and yet Mr. Mitchel tells you un, quivocally and directly that nothing done or said by the most disaffected of all these that he is not prepared to go the full extent of. It is net the mi. nis'ry of the day who are meant by "government." What is meant by government is the Queen, Lords, and Commons of England, and nothing that men the most treasobable and cted have done or said against that governm, nt approved _of by Mr. Mitchel, but meets, his full concurrence end approbation. There isanother passage to which I beg to all attention. Mohlitebel says : " I am herenotes a Jacobin (which 1 am not)—nor as a communist (which I am not) — nor even as a republican (which I am)— but because I am a bitter and irreconcile.,ble enemy to the British government." Now, gentlemen. here he announces himself a republican and a bitter and irreconcilable enemy of the English govern. relent. He says, besides, he is prepared to go to any extent that the mast disaffected persons could go against that. government. It will be necessary that you should keep this in mind when we come to the portions of the second publi cation to which I will direct your attention, and which appear to bear even more directly on this part of tee charge. The learned judge then read and commented on the several passages from the writings of Mr. Mitchel in the Unitise' frialiman, which formed the subject of the indictment. I am now, said his lordship in continuation, going toll your attention to the passage that has reference to the charge of compassing and intending to levy war. The learned Limerick, here read the extract from Mr. Mitchel's speech at Limerick, where he called on the constituents of " My. Smith O'Brien to stand by him," and then ouatinuerl—So the, Mr. O'Brien having had charges brought against him, distinctly he says it is the duty of his constituent/ to prepare systematically to sustain him in arms. You, gen , lemen, will have to say whether, if a man tells an aseembled multitude, and who afterwards publishes it in a widely circulated paper, that it is the duty of the constituents of Mr. O'Brien to sustain him in his felony, and to sustain him with arms, it does or does not make out the all.gal ion that he did compass the levying of war. In order to constitute the crime it is not necessary there should be enythiug done ; the mere compassing and the expression of it by a publica tion is an offence which the act of paralamen• thought fit to provide against. He tells the women of Limerick that they should not even speak to a man who had not arms It is for you to say whether that was or not a direction and incite meet to every man to provide himself with arms for the purpose of sustaining Mr. O'Brien. New, in his commentary on the article from the Tinses, what was the meaning of " enforcing his argument gradually." That you will have to decide. Then we come to hie letter to the pi oti stant farmers of Ulster, and after that passage where he speaks of an Irish republic, one and indivisible, he says " how are we to meet on that day ? In arms, my countrymen, in arms." He here refers to the day, and says they are to meet on that day "in arms," and he repeats hat twice. Gentlemen, you will have to say is there anything in that langu ige to admit of a doubtful meaning or interpretation. It will lie for you to say whether, in any portion of the document, there is anything that could enable any man exercising honestly his judgment, to come to the conclusion that this was not • compassing and imagining the levying of war. Then, did he not say that every grain of food growing in the country was to be fought for? Why was it to be fought for ? or how ? or how is it perible for you to avoid an inference from language of that kind—teat he was compu.ing an appeal to arms Gentlemen, 1 have gone through the venous pa-ssges that bear upon the second branch of the case. I told you b Aore that you ought not to pay the slightest attention. to any opi nion I have expressed or intimated as to the natter 1 import and meaning of these passages, except so far at my opinion concurs with your own. I tell you eo again. it must be by your own deliberate judgment and the exercise of your own sense altogether that this verdict is to be pronounced. If you do after a careful revision and review of all these publications, cenacientiously come to the conclusion that Mr. Mitchel did not intend both or either of the intents attributed to bite , you ought, without hesitation, find him not guilty. If lou think the intents are not clear, that they are ambiguous, and that the espressions used are of a doubtful nature, you arc bound to give the prisoner the benefit of that doubt But if after a careful revision and review of them pes.sg.s, to which a meaning has been stashed by the cte wn, and no opposite meaning attempted to be assigned by counsel for the prisoner, if you come to the conclusion that they sustain the allegations in the indictment, and that as honest men you can lay your hands upon your butts and say that these intents charged in the indictment have been proved—l would not insult you for a moment by fancying that honest men like yen would hesitate in discharging the duty imposed upon you, and which you are bound to discharge under the solemn oblige ton of an oath. At the conclusion of the learned judge's charge, the fore man of he jury (Mr. Whitty) said that as anothrr question might aria., which might or might not be material, probably that was the proper time to bring it under toe notice of the court. It his memory served biro, the offence was laid in the indictment in the parish of St Thomas, whilst the evi dence that had been given preyed the publica.ion of the newspaper to have taken place in St. Andrew'. parish. Mr. ;Justice Moore said the evidence was, that ' the custom. house was situated in the parish of Bt. Thomas, ha; that the paper wu published in St. Andrew's parish. . . . - The jury then retired at a quarter -past four 0 consider their verdict, and the judges also left the court. 1/uriou their lengthened absence, the court still continued doled) crowded, every individual present being filled with iaten•s and absorb ing anxiety as to the result of this most exciting trial.
