The Queen will stay two days at Dublin, when she will be entertained by the Lord Lieutenant. The Countess of St. tier mans and the lion. Mary Eliot have arrived in Dub lin for the ptuposo of making the necessary arrange ments. THE REPRESENTATION OF TRALEE would appear to be all settled, a meeting convened by the Cham ber of Commerce, and which comprised a very large proportion of the electors, having been unanimous in their choice of Mr. Daniel O'Connell. It is very probable there will be no contest in that borough. Is CLARE the latest accounts represent the can vassing as having been carried on with the utmost energy. Everything hitherto has, however, proceeded: peaceably. A REQUISITION has been presented to the Lord Mayor of Dublin, calling on him to convene a public meeting " for the purpose of considering the best means of rendering a tribute of respect and gratitude to Wil liam Dugan, for his unparalleled exertions, which, under the blessing of Almighty tied, have so signally tended to benefit our country, by developing her re sources, and directing the industry of her people." All parties have joined in this preliminary step to the ex pression of a great and national feeling of gratitude. The requisition presents the signatures of forty Irish peers, and forty- seven Irish members of the House of Commons, without distinction of politics. It has also been signed by the Archbishops of Armagh and Dublin, the Bishops of Deny and Raphoe, Down and Connor, Meath and Limerick, by fifteen Roman Catholic prelates, several of the judges, a host of other dignitaries and official persons representing the professions, the press, the municipalities, and the people of the country, and comprising in all con siderably over two thousand names. The meeting will be held in the Rotunda, and has been fixed by the Lord Mayor for Thursday, the 14th July. AN IMPORTANT TRW. was concluded in the Dublin Court of Common Pleas on Wednesday. The action was brought against the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company for damages for the loss of the husband of the plaintiff by the shipwreck of the Queen Victoria steamer at the Baily Lighthouse. The jury gave 6001. damages against the company, 400/. being for the widow and 2001. for the mother of the deceased. This, it is expected, is only the beginning of a series of actions of the same nature. alti anb Witt. PERJURIES perpetrated before the election com mittees have formed the ground of three actions tried on Monday and Tuesday last by the Court of Queen's Bench. One Motet had sworn, when ex amined relative to the Chatham election, that he saw Sir F. Smith meet Bradshaw, a voter; heard him promising that if Bradshaw would give him his vote ho would get him into the " college"—meaning Greenwich Hospital—and find a place for his son ; that be saw Sir F. Smith take his hand out of his trousers pocket and give Bradshaw money; and that he met Bradshaw afterwards, who showed him three sovereigns, hinting that lie had got theory or his vote, and saying, " This is better than a look." Upon all these statements Mount stood now charged with perjury, the prosecution against him being con- 201 ducted by order of the House of Commons. Sir F. Smith, on examination, stated that Bradshaw met him early in the progress of his canvass and ten dered him his vote. lie shook hands with him thou and afterwards when they happened to meet, but gave him neither money nor premises, nor was any thing said about the " college," or a place for his bon. lie could not have taken his hand out of his pocket while talking with Mount, because the trousers he then wont haul none. Mount subse• quently came to a meeting of his friends at the Sun, anti having stated his desire of getting into the hew pital—which, as he had a pension alr e ady, wo uld have been a saving to the public—he (Sir F. Smith) made some inquiries on his behalf at the Admi ralty, but found that he had not served long enough at sea to be eligible. Bradahaw himself' declared that he had promised his vote voluntarily to Sir F. Smith, had asked no favour of hint then, nor spoken to hint in Mounts presence at any time. The prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced by Lord Campbell to six months imprisonment in the House of Correction. —Martin had deposed before the committee on the Southampton election that he had seen, on the morning of the 'tolling-day, Mr. Andrews, then Mayor of Southampton put his band upon the shoulder of a man named O akley and ask him to vote for the Liberals, telling hint that he should lose nothing, for he had made it all right. This assertion was de clared a fabrication, and the deponent thereto prow • clued for the perjury. Mr. Andrews, besides denying the action and words imputed to him is tote, corro borated the denial by various ciremnstanetst. lie had no doubt said and done many things on the election day, and seen half Southampton, probably ; but as regarded Oakley, he observed that the 'lolling pl ac e situated nearest his residence was one which he (Andrews) had visited last in order, while O a kl e y h a ul registered his vote by half-past eight. Oakley confirmed this denial, and. though other menu - hem of the Oakley family deposed to having seen Andrews in the neighbotultootl, anal to having be lieved that he had canvassed their relative at a very early hour on the morning in question, the jury found a verdict of guilty, and Lord Campbell pro nounced a sentence of two years' imprisonment.-- Before the sante committee George Warren swore that Sir A. Cockburn had Willed hint with money, and one of the candidate's party— . lanes Sharpe---had promised to get him a licence to sell beer. Being charged with perjury us regarded both assertions, it was shown, with respect to the money part of the affair, that Sir A. Cockburn, having come canvassing with his friends, gave the defendant. half *crown for three glasses of porter worth 4 ad., and told him to keep the change, because he sold his beer too cheap. The committee had ruled that this was not bribery, but the Court of Queen's Bench seemed of opinion that the defendant, in terming it so, was nut guilty of perjury. Respecting the licence, it was stated on his behalf, and admitted lay Sir A. Cockburn on his personal examination, that a great deal of talk, familiar anti jocose in character, took place on the occasion. As to the exact tenor of what passed the revolleetion of the various witnesses was very imperfect. It appeared, however, that Sharpe, who was a lawyer, and had previonsly ipposed the defendant's application fair a licence, then excused himself as having done so only professionally, and either he or Poceek, another of the canvassing party, alluding to the licence, haul 'glinted te the candidate and said, "You know who can get it for you." 1.0r.1 CAM Nab' It 154,111.1 certainly 44plwair tllNt the ex• prettelona whi c h 1144 been elated by the defendant had nut been Wien, but there had been a great deal of Etinvertiation, and the defentbutt, might well base iutagetedl that wiVI friendly feerleirdel lint, and Illtleirilll , l I.l' lintettring A There awl nothing in the *halm of bribe or prt ;;;; ass a mistake. Verdict, not guilty. A BRUTAL STASI:SIMI CASE was investigated on Tuesday at the Westminster Police Court. Two excavators, named Page and Derr►ck, who had worked together for several months at the new Crystal Palace, went to a tavern at Chelsea and quarrelled over their cups. After a hot scuttle Der rick found himself stabbed in six places. Page escaped at the tune, but was arrested in a day or two. Before the magistrate he testified much com punction for the unmanly act, and said " he wished to suffer for it." Ile was committed for trial. 3ttibtnts anti Mutts.
