Cross-examined by Mr. CAM—Deceased said he had some Money sbodt him, and that he knew, witness advised him for his good, when he desired him not to go drink. litre Mr. BENNITT submitted to the Court that this was no► a cause of wilful and deliberate mur der. but merely a homicide committed in heat of blood; and if the Court were of that opinion, he need not go into any defence. The Court consulted for some time, after which Judge Barton addressed the Jury, and said that Lord Nurbury concurred with him in opinion that from the evidence this appeared to him to be a very aggravated case of manslaughter, and not of pre meditated murder, sod that they should therefore acquit him of murder, and find him guilty of man slaughter, and acquit Mary Kirwan on all the counts.

DUBLIN, SEPTEMBER 4. COUNTY CENTRAL COMMITTEE. [From the Cork Mercantile aroniele ] K r - The dinner which was to have taken piece at the Vice-regal Lodge on the 12th of August, in honour of our most gracious and beloved Sovereign', birth day, was unavoidably postponed, in consequence of the sudden and lamentable death of our late gallant and venerable Commander of the Forces, Sir Samuel Aachrauty. A must splendid entertainment was given by his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, at the Vice-regal Lodge, Phoenix Park, on Satur day last, the 31st of August, on which occasion was used his Excellency's superb and beautiful service of plate; also for the first lime, a complete new set of table linen, on which were most beautifully worked his Excellency's coronet, crests and supporters, the Collar and Star of the Order of the Garter, the Cul lar and Badge of the Order of St. Patrick, the Sham rock and the Harp of Erin, the Imperial and Royal Turkish and Persian Orders, with beautiful wreaths or flowers of She most exquisite taste and workman ship. A fter dinner, his Excellency gave The King, lorig life, health, happiness, Isolionr, awl glory to his Miesjesty," after which the usual loyal toasts were given, and appropriate sirs played hv the excellent band of the 7th hnssars. The following distin guished personages were present on the occasion Right How. the Lord Mayor, Duke of leinster, Arch bishop of Dublin Earl of Moab, Earl Of liatelaff, Lord Viseouot Allen ' Lord Killeen, Right lion. the Bishop of Kildare, Right Mc hfr.Gutaibure, Right Hon, the Attorney • 4 1i 40064. Ok The Commission of Oyer and Terminer for the county and city of Dahlia closed ate sittings yes terday. The holiness was unusually light. There were altogether but six trials, two only of those were of • serious nature, and not one of • description to affect in the least degree the peaceful character of the metropolis or the country which surrounds it. ARRESTS FOR HIGH TREASON. The Proitiouers, whose names were given in The Freeman's Journal of Monday last, were discharged yesterday on the motion of Mr. Wallace, K.C. and Jr. Hamilton. Mr. Seely Townsend, who appeared for the Crown. required bail fur Carr, himself in 1001., and two sureties in 501. each. Bail was also re quired from the other prisoners, who were slated to be qf the very lowest class (one being a coal-porter, and another a discharged watchman), themselves in 50/., and two sureties of 25/. each. These unfortunate people hid been in confine ment, we believe, during a space of two months. We copy the following from the Has and Cry of last week. The transaction to which it alludes must have occurred within eight miles of the metro polis, yet we never heard of it before. Whatever wrong is done in Ireland by the constituted orbits rities is too frequently kept secret, and if at length the people, in despair of legal redress, take the law into their own hands, their crimes are attributed to innate depravity and incorrigible wickedness, and new laws are proposed fur their punishment. We shall make inquiry into the affair of Saggard, mod lay the result before our readers:— a COUNTY OF DUBLIN. " One Hundred Pounds Reward. "Whereas I have received information on oath, that on the night of the fair day of Saggsrd, the 6th of June last, between the hours of lea mid eleven o'clock, a party of police, horse and foot, did eater the village of Seggard, sad I. the houses thereof sod the roads adjoining, did with their swords cat and wound wryest persona :—and whereas Pa. trick Connolly has died of • wound inflicted, as be said, by a horse police man; being desirous therefore, as far as in me her, to bring to justice the slayer of the said Patrick Connolly, I heruby promise • reward of Ono Hundred Pounds to the person who will prosecute him to coavietioa ; and if the prosecutor be as accomplice, not having actually struck the fatal blow, I will recommend him to the merr y of his Excellency th e Marquis Wellealey. " Lyons, August 20,18t2. " CLONCURRY." Oil Monday night lost, between eleven and twelve o'clock, some person, at present, unknown, walked up to • sentinel doing duty at the Spa in the Phatiiix Park, and after a few words conversa tion, he gave the sentinel a blow of a stone, by which he fell to the ground, and while down the ruffian seized the fiteluck which fell from the sol dier's hands, and discharged its contents at him while lying on the ground ; the ball entered his shoulder, but lie is still alive. A man, servant to a person of rank, has been taken into custody on suspicion of being concerned in the abominable affair. as lie passed 'gear the sentinel about the time it occurred. The wounded auldiir is • private in the 86th regiment, now at Richmond Barracks— his name is David M'Caul. We regret to find, that about the hour of one o'clock on the morning of Friday last. a large range of offices belonging to Lieutenant-Gen. Saunders. at Golden Fort, County Wicklow, were maliciously set on fire, stud the entee with every thing in them, including • carriage, tilbnry, &c. &c. consumed. A meeting of Magistrates took place in conse quence, and a reward has been offered, which we hope will lead to the discovery of the offenders. The Leahy's and their accomplices, who were concerned iu the abduction of Miss Gould, and who were tried at our last Assizes, but owing to an irregularity in the proceedings were not finally dis posed of, will be tried again at the adjournment no the 4th of September.—( Limerick Tekgraph.) Since our last the list of ;trimmers for trial at the adjournment, independent of those for the abduc tion of Miss Gould, have increased to forty-three, forty.oue of whom are for capital oftences.—(/Lid.)
