On the Grand Jury being sworn, Mr. Justice DALY Ckargea them is a very few words, observing, that the intimate knowledge they possessed of the various duties attaching to the im- portant trust with which they were just invested, from the circumstance of many of them having be fore been Members of the Grand Inquests of their county, coupled with their high and independent characters, rendered it unnecessary for him to address them at any length. His Lordship then referred to the Calendar before him, and the Grand Jury re tired, taking with them the several Bills of Indict ment presented. Within a qua; ter of three o'clock, MICHAEL OWENS, DANIEL WARINIC 6 aIId DOROTHEA REYNOLDS. were sworn in Court, in order to be examined before the Grand Jury as witnesses against Mr. O'Coastott. The Bills being found, At half-past four o'clock, Mr. O'Commit was con ducted from the gaol to the Court, by the High She riff; Sir FRANCIS &WHITT, and Mr. O'Comion's eldest son, walking arm in arm with him. Mr. O'CoNziott was put into the dock, and immediately went up to the Bar. Sir FRANCIS Buntinv and Mr. O'Coxson's son sat at the Traverser's bar, in front of the dock, it being cleared for them by the High Sheriff ; the Court was crowded to excess ; and from the moment Mr. O'Comma made his appearance, until he withdrew, the most respectful silence pre vailed. He was dressed in blue, and looked ex tremely well ; his deportment was dignified, he bad I a smile on his.coantenance daring the entire time, , and from the bar saluted some Gentlemen in Court. MARTIN WKNON, an accomplice in the alledged felony, was also placed in the Dock. The indict ments were not ready ; and after Mr. O'Coation had stood for upwards of half an hour at the bar, the Sub-Sheriff handed a chair the Dock, when Mr. O'CONNoR sat down at 10 minutes past 5 o'clock. Mr. OeCosima and MARTIN M'KEON were called to the bar, when Mr. RICKEY, Clerk of the Crown, read the Indict alents, which were to the following effect FIRST INDICTMENT. That Richard Waring, or Warren, robbed the Mail on the 2d VIP day of October, 1812, ..t Capiagh Hill, In the County Kildare, ai.d the Prisoners received it, knowing it to be robbed. :second Count as•tbe first, st.ting the Mail to be from Dublin Clohard. SECOND INDICTMENT, States the Robbery of the Mail by Richard Waring, or War n°, and that the Prisoner did, at Dangsn, in the county Meath, feloniously incite, move, procure and assist, counsel, hire and command said Richard Waring, or Warren, to do and commit said felony and rokbery. Second Count stating the Mail to bl from Dublin to Clonard. THIRD INDICTMENT.

Second Count as the first, stating the goods ,to be Kr) value The indictment being read, Mr. RICKEY, the Clerk of the Crown, asked the prisoners individually, whe ther be was guilty or not ? Mr. O'CONNOR emphatically replied, " I am not, Sir." M 4 l{Eow answered, not guilty. They were then asked if they were ready for their trial? and answering in the affirmative, it was fixed, by consent of both parties, for nine o'clock to-morrow morning (Tuesday). Previously to Mr. O'Confron's retiring from Court, Mr. BENNEIT, a. one of his Counsel, after a few mo• rents conversation with him, addressed the Learned Judge to the following effects' " My Lord, from my knowledge of your Lord ship's character, and the characters of my Learned Brethren opposed to me, I can well anticipate a perfect acquiescence in the application which I now beg leave to snake to your Lordship. I have to en treat your Lordship's permission that Mr. O'Connor may be allowed to take a seat amongst his Counsel and friends. My Lord, I make this application upon two grounds ; the first, the presence of a distin guished stranger, who attends this most extraordi nary trial, and who is desirous, during its confirm- anci., to be in communication with Mr. O'Connor. —The next ground upon which I would claim this indulgence of your Lordship, arises from the circum stance of the extreme fatigue of standing to Mr. O'Connor, weakened by confinement, during the proceedings, 'which are not likely to be closed for a considerable time. Your Lordship might have per &vet!, chit when your Lordship was pleased to di rect a chair to be placed in the dock, Mr. O'Connor could not be seen by either your Lordship or- his Counsel, nor could he, without rising, and great in convenience, communicate with them. Mr. O'Con nor's defence, my Lord, will be, as I apprehend, of considerable length ; and if your Lordship should not accord him this indulgence, he must, on sitting in the dock, from excessive weakneu pod fatigue during the trial, become invisible to the Court and to the' Jury's and, I submit it to your Lordship, it is fitting he should be seen by them, and have himself the ad vantage of seeing both."—Mr. Bennet concluded by observing that this accommodation had, on a variety of occasions, been granted on state and other trials in England and in this country. His Lordship was pleased to grant the request. Serjeant Jens would not, of course, oppose it. Owens, one of the witnesses, was under sentenceof death in Kilmainhkm. Wiring is an approver, whose brother was hanged for the mail coach robbery ; and Dorothea Reynolds was to servant to Mr. O'Connos. • SIR FRANCIS BURDETT. TRIM, TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 5. At half-past five o'clock on the evening of Friday last, Sir FRANCIS Buitnirrr, accompanied by Cap• tain BUTLER, of the 35th Regiment, arrived at Trim, in a post-chaise and four, attended by two servants. Immediately alighting at the prison, they were shewn to the apartment in which Mr. O'Colmost had been lodged a short time previous, and which was prepared, with much good feeling and consideration, for his reception. A crowd of persons collected round the entrance to the gaol on the quality of the visitors being ascertained, and ih a few minutes the news of the arrival of these distinguished persons spread, with more than ordinary rapidity, and drew into the town a vast concourse of people, anxious for a view of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT. The interview between this celebrated personage and Mr. O'Conwon, was transient to the observation of our correspondents ; but we learn it was such, as, from the intimacy of the friends, we may suppose it to have been. Sir FRANCIS continued for a conside rable time with Mr. O'Cormost, and near to twilight walked for a few moments through the town, and again returned to the prison. He bleeps at the inn, but breakfasts and dines with Mr. O'Consort. On Saturday and Sunday the town was completely inandated by arrivals, from Dublin and the sur rounding counties, many of them personages of distinction and political notoriety. Sir FRAI4C23 BURDETT, from the anxiety which was/manifested in all to see him, seemed to be as much the object of attraction, as the trial of Mr. O'CouNoll. The charges for accommodation, from the continued in gress of visitors, at length became so extravagantly high, that two guineas were, in some cases, consi dered comparatively reasonable terms for a bed.— The Gentlemen's seats contiguous to Trim were occupied by crowds of friends; and, from the most splendid mansion to the humblest hut, so great was the pre.occtipation, that scarcely bed or board was to be had. Mr. O'CoNsow's spirits do not appear to be much affected by the painfulness of his situation. He has a crowd of friends about him, and his son, a verb young mail; resides with him in the prison. At wren o'clock this morning (Tuesday) Si► FRANCIS BURDErt was already in the apittinent.ol Mr. O'Cortmon, in the pesm. 411.,LT51 Tleis day her MAJF 1V and the Prime's ELIZ cork an airing 11 , Frog 'helm Yt stet d ty Mr. and Lilly CioAeci.ovre Wve.:Ne: left the Castle tnr Ilaphot to visit elle Duchess of GcoucesrEtt.

Count MUNSTER had an audience of the PRINCE ith.GENT, yesterday, at Carlton Houce. The Earl aod Countess of LoNsnALE, Lord Li W- TilElt, and Sir GILBERT HEATIICOTE, were to leave Paris in the couts... 01 this wLek for London. Mr. BrcKETT. Under Secretary ot State and his Lady, have left Switzerland on a tour through Italy. A Florence Paper, of the of July, contains an article dated Rome, July 16, in which it stated, that her Royal Highness the Princess of WALFS had just given a magnificent Fete, equally remarkable for the bti!liancy ot the illuminations, the sumptuousness of the tefresliments, and the charms of the best selected music, vocal and instrumental. Many of the must distinguished of t! .. .e Roman and Foreign Nobles were present. From the Ist of May last to the 30th of June, 1030 English families embarked at Brighton for France ; and k is not from that port alone that the Engl.sh set sal. Mr. Moottn, our English Anacreon, and Sir Joon Srrv►.xsoN, equally celebrated for his musical com position, are both new at Paris. Mr. It A MON n is now actively employed in making arrangements for the opening 4/1 Drury-lane Theatre, the ensuing month, with much riuselty both of Pieces .and Performers. ENGLISH 01'1.11A. —Midas was repeated at this Theatre last night. CHATTERLEY, a very amusing general Comedian, was Mau, and so far as diligent burlesque could succeed. he WAS successful. Miss KLLILVS Nyta, a pin too trivial for this intelligent actress's powers, was, of course, in the best style of shrewish coquetry. Daphne, the stricken damsel, was personated by Miss STEVENSIN with great natu ral feeling, and with a voice which seems to want only strength and practice to impart to its sweetness no common degree of fascination. PEAR lAN'S dpoi/ was the divinity of a singer, and his songs were un doubtedly given with much skill. The celebrated Pray Geod . !, was encored, and deserved the distinction. The audience was both numerous and fashionable. VAUXIIALL Gatti:mos.—This dazzling place is far more entitled to be called Les Champ Awes. than the celebrated spot so named in the vicinity of Paris. On Wednesday evening the Gardens were illuminated with their wonted lustre; and the nume rous elegant and distinguished visitors, who were attracted by the fineness of the evening, added the most delightful grace and splendour to the scene.— Madame Snoia's performance and grand ascent were particularly applauded, and the whole of the En tertainments excited the most unqualified pleasure. The oat harvest has commenced in Kent, with every promise of a most abundant crop. Sonic samples were shewn at Canterbury market on Satur day last, which produced two pounds per quarter. All the plans are ready for the improvements at St. James's Palace ; and they will be carried into execution forthwith. Thursday se'nnight, about 50 feet of the battle ment and two arches of o'l3fien's bridge on the Shannon, fell in—fortunately no lives were lost. The symptoms of an unusual fever contagion in Tralee have almost disappeared. By letters received from Martinique, we learn that the Yellow Fever rages there, which, it is feared, has been communicated to some of our Island.. A ship from Jamaica, in the River. was immediately put under quarantine. A malignant Fever rages in Enniskillen Gaol ; seventeen persons confined there have died within a short time. There are but few in the town who have caught the contagion ; but it is said that seve ral person's, who have gone to see their friends in the gaol, and who came from the country for that purpose, have carried the fever to their homes and families. • Tuesday night the Mary.l4-Bonne Officers obsery ed no less than SO pickpockets employed in their vo cation, at a Mountebank Exhibition, in Harpers. fields, Edgeware.road. Two of them were particu larly active, and on searching their hats they found upwards of a dozen handkerchiefs. They took them into custody; but as they were bringing them along the Edgeware-road, they were attacked by the whole gang with sticks, and the prisoners were rescued. One of the Officers received a wound on the back part of the head from some sharp instrument. They succeeded, however, in apprehending two of the gang, who have since been committed under the Police Act. A gang of desperate villains, mounted and armed, nightly plunder houses, gardens, and fields, in the vicinity of Bristol. It is not long since they burnt the corn-nets, barns, lc:. of Mr. Annorr. Thursday night they inhumanely houghed and mangled a cow and a horse belonging to a constable of Bitton parish; and on Friday night, about eleven o'clock, he was alarmed by his clog, when he saw the villains from the windows, and fired on them, which they imme diately returned, and broke the windows. An old man, named James. Cale, we's last week ap prehended at Bristol, with a bag of stolen lead, which he said he had obtained from a boy in the street. He was asked if he could find the boy ? when he went out and returned with a lad named Charles Stocker, about 13 years of age, well known to the police by the nickname of &in:Tarte, and who had been some time ago confined in Newgate. The old man then said he could give information of the whole gang, adding, is And, your Worship, 1 can tell yen, that your premises were broken open too.—The Mayor And • perhaps you were present ?"- " Yes, your Worship." The Mayoi—is Ard how did the beef eat Very good." The informa tion given by this old !man has led to the discovery of gang of upwards of 3.1 boys, who have for some time .übsisted entirely by thieving, and whose general ren dezvous was at the Glass-house, Limekiln-lane. They begged by day, and plundered by night; and it is a fact, that in one wank they stripped nearly all the ardets in Belk-rut of their provisions. miv.a 1,17.z.7.1.1(;11VCE.

THUNDER STonms.—Tuesday sennight, about two o'clock, while Mr. D. SMITH, farmer at Denside. in the pans!' of Montkie, was sitting in his patlour at dinner, along with Mts. Stu ill, he suddenly heard an explosion and a shriek from the kitchen, in whi:a were Miss Salem, two servant girls, and a servant man. On hurrying to the kitchen, he found it fi'led with smoke, which soon cleared away, and discl.med his daughter and three servants in a :.tote of stupor, several pieces of the pavement of the riaor turn up and shattered ; that en which st,,otl the chair vsherst two of the servants were sitting, together wish the chair, shivered to atoms, .tll the panes dashed out ut the kitchen window, and the cielteg pet rotated to the extent of six feet by three. Two large holes were also made in the inner wall of the chimney, and the chim ney-stalk was rent in pieces. Tnis was all occasioned by the stroke of lightning ; and what la most remark :dale, is, that three rustics (two of allow were sitting on one chair), though struck to the groond, escaped with very little injury from th t trerne:.doub power by . which the solid earth under them was tent, mid:heir seat literally annihilated. Thursday se'nnight, soon after ten o'clock, Man chester and its neighbournood were visitesi by a eery serious and violent thunder storm, le companied wiiis a descent of hailstones ot an arii.ex,iig s.ze. The errs tric fluid has left awlol impressiers t f its elesote:!ive power ; at Pendleton, two men, or the names or Jcha Armitage and John itoyle, were struck dead selidst making hay, ar.d several others were mach stunned, and nerrowly escaped. Mr. GOMIS, bleacher, wis knocked down in the same direction. In Silver street (Newton-street), the gable-end of a house was . completely arite.-n down ; and in the vicinity of Ker sal four men sevrrc'y felt the effects of the tremen dous tnock. INQuElT.—Yesterday a Coroner's lnquest WAS held at a public house, in the Cut win toad, Shored.tch, on Mrs. Hannah Smith, of Luke-street.
