Why the meeting, from all I could gather, was one To decide on the merits of MOSES and SON. The excellent Chairman, Sound Judgment, Esquire, Having said a few words with regard to attire, Mr. Shoulders, a man of respectable note, 'Wished to make a remark on his WAISTCOAT AND COAT. " I think," said the speaker, " you all ought to view My Waistcoat, my' Coat. &ail at; Overcoat. too. I ought to speak IVairraly of MOSES," said he, " When I see the warm garments they've Runt:shed to me." With this Mr. Legs, arose on his pegs, And declared he considered himself the mere dregs. " My subject," said he, " you're aware, is my TROWSERS, Bat, alas! as to speaking, I cannot tell how, Slrs ; For the speaker's so bad, and the Trowsers' so good, That I cannot praise MOSES and SON as I would." Mr. Head next arose from the place where he sat, • And delivered an eloquent speeoh on his HAT. "I am sure, Mr Chairman." said he, " that I'm right, In pronouncing it stylish, elastic, and light. To the Hat-mart of MOSES and SON I'll adhere As staunchly as ever I" (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") This speaker was fell wed by one Mr. Foot, Who rose with a dignified stamp on his BOOT. I am certain," said he, that I'm true in declaring The Boots made by MOSES unequalled for wearing ; 'They are matchless in quarters, in sole, and in vamp." And here Mr. Foot gave another loud stamp. Then the Chairman arose, and was happy to find The whole of the speakers so much of a mind. "And" said he, "on behalf of the ladies, good Sirs, I feel it my duty to speak of the FURS. . If I did not pronounce them the best you could wear, I consider I should not be fit for the chair ; And remember the very low prices you pay, For these, and for all that you've mentioned to-day. I trust that the whole of the journals, as one, Will rep •rt what we've said of E. MOSES and SON." " Hear, hear," said the whsle of the gentlemen there, And the business was enned with thanks to the chair. E.

V: C ELIBACY.—Singleness is not always the nor- N.../ sequence of disinclination, disappointed affection, or a dim ' cult,' in Meeting with a fit helpmate. Thousands of the unmarried Would with joy embrace the sacred conditions of Matrimony, did they feel themselves equal to its obligations; and the chequered Page of life reveals innumerable • instances where, under that blighting consciousness, man has permitted the most ardent &fee ' tioa to consume him to the grave, rather than consign its object to that•life of Immitigable anguish and fettered solitariness into which his affianced wculd be plunged if he married. Some are, however, Wilful enough to gain the affections of the other sex under these C ircumstances; and, though not so villanous as to proceed to the altar, will make such excuses for procrastination as contribute to his Selfish desire of exclusively enjoying her society, by precluding her from accepting other offers. There is scarcely a street where this histery is not enacted ; and yet with the exercise of common foresight, its frequency might be so lessened as to rm . ler an instance rare throughout the entire kingdom. The disqualifications for Marriage have mere than one primary source ; the__ chief of whi c h i s I mpu i ssance, arising from four causes :.—namely, . t !atural Deficiency ; the Prostration produced by Early 'debits ; the Weakening effects of Later Excesses ; and Nervousness of Tempera ; the next sources of importance are hereditary and acquired disease ; and, lastly, men are prevented from marrying by the effects of disease —which, when ill-cured, leaves traces that forbid all im- Po towards wedlock. In each of these instances it is unhappily too common for the sufferer to consider his case beyond remedy, and fails to cons u lt even hi s own me di ca l a tt en d an t. Such will find all ob stacles removed by reference to a valuable Manual on Nervous Debility and Generative diseases, the thirty-seventh thousand of which has just teen published by its Authors, J. L. CURTIS and CO., .•Consulting Sergeons, 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London, entitled .„I,AreNellOOD the Causes of its Premature Decline, with Plain us for Perfect Restoration, &c., &c.

How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the felfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourabierrtiitl It is the effect of consc ience. The Lover, by enervation of earl y habits, or the results o f secret disease, knows himself to h. disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine La w for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplora bl e ! Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappoint ments on the object of his choice, and u pon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possessi on o f na tural attributes would cha n g e the scene, and yield to both a li fe of una ll o y e d happiness. The subjec t is interesting, and deserves attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the tallest and most satisfac tor y information in the little work entitled SELF-PRES ERVATION, illustrated by forty coloured e n g ravings on the anatomy, ,physiology, and diseases of the reproductive organs; with practical observa tions on the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, excesses, o: infection. By SAMUEL LA.'MERT, M.D., Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &o. This treatise is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and muck neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob tained the lli4hest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat ment of these diseases. REVIEW OF THE WORK. La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.--" There are scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy th e mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf into which such scenes must plunge him 1 In the book before us such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the erring, without impairing ens idea that can vitiate a mind not al- ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally, upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and lety A father may trust it in the hands of his boy.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em titter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net bo the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or seglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

[PRICE SD. wore very voluminous, in which Michael Moran, John Joseph Moran, and John M'Cormick, were charged with the offdnce he had • stated, and if the' jury were satisfied of their identity they would have little lifficulty in. finding - true bills. lle had but one „only thservation more to make with reference to the . cases on the part of the Crown. The law officers of the Crown were, in another place, discharging their public duty' and it might happen at a future time, during the sitting of the commission, they (the grand jury) might be called upon to receive from the Court such instructions as the law officers of the Crown shonld think proper to Submit; but, unless such a circumstance should arise; they would proceed in the ordinary way to consider the eases that would be brought before them. The Learned JUDGE, in addressing the county grand' jury, merely referred to the closing observations he had _addressed to the city grand jury, and, concluded by stating that some bills would be sent up to them against persons charged with having arms in their pos session without license, and they would consider in how far the charges against these persons came under the provisions of the Act. The Court, shertly after, proceeded with the trial of prisoners. Until - the arrival of the Attorney-General from Clonmel, the trials of Mr. Gavan Duffy and the other parties charged with felony will not:take place. Nothing in the shape of public interest was mani fested.respecting the proceedings at this commission, although it was known that the prosecutions against Messrs. Duffy, Williams, andO'Doherty.were pending. As stated by Mr. Justice Torrens, the bills for felony against those persods were found at the last commis ' sion' 'so that the CroW n can procee d at once w i th the trials, without the intervention of the:present grand jury. It is quite possible, however, that the Attorney- General (who is . expected in town from Clonmel on Aloriday) may send up fresh bills of indictment in the case lir Mr. Duffy; but at present the orily:charge against him is founded upon the indictment under the Treason Felony Act. falsehood never existed, nor outside " Bias" did they ever hear the history of such a man, who, on every occa sion, and in every employment;seeined to have delighted in acting the character of a spy, and inventing the basest falsehoods. They. would recollect that he swore, on the first trial, that Mr. Meagher was present at the recetieg on-the 19th of July. On the. present cccarion he con tradicted himself, and as to the " Red-hand Club," of which they bad heard so much, he would produce a wit ness who would prove ho never knew such a man as 'Dobbin was elected a representative to the council, al though. ho was present every evening. Suppose the thirty men, to whom he alluded, and whose- fate de pended on the present trial, were going to be hanged, and they said, " Pray, Mr. Attorney : General, what ' have we done?" Oh, he should reply, " You were levy ing war against the Queen." " Levying war against the Queen; why, •we were poking our parlOur fire in Dublin." Yes; but certain persons were levying war. down in Tipp, rary, and you were constructively guilty of the same act, would be the reply. Well, then, the thirty unfortunate men might properly say, " If we are found guilty of constructive treason, let us be construc tively hanged."---(A laugh.) The :statute of Edward 111. enacted, in as plain words as could be, that levying •of war should be actual, and open in the field. But words were made eonstructive treason by bad decisions ' which e h i gi whispering •C t a r and . corrupt judges. It was done in the reign of that most pure, virtuous, patriotic, high-minded Sove isomethingCharles presentl . ii ( o L .r t a do u go g e h ht tiheeerfr), Justice—fbo r+ formed a do l dozengonl s.England conspiracy, told who resolved that a fees+ men getting' into a corner and f and was to be held as high treason, e That was a law 'a jury they should rather perish -in . the box than act , upon it, and so he•(Mr. Whiteside) would also say, that if he were on that jury he would rather perish than find the prieoner at the bar. guilty of high treason under such Circumstances. The Learned Counsel_ next referrer' - to • the' evidEnce - of the ''policemen who deposed .to the speeches made at Enniscorthy on the 24th of July. • By the Treason Felony Act the exact words spoken must be deposed to by two witnesses, but in that of high treason, as in the present' case, the evidence of policemen was given, who reported .words and speeches, arid the jury were to convict his client upon such- testimony. If there were to be any safety for life—it there be any good ex pected fOr their country—let them not. believe such evi dence—let 'them not convict a young and ardent man for-high treason because in a moment of excitement he made speeches on which he never intended to act. What 'said Lord Erskine—the brightest ornament of th e English Bar, and a man when on the Bench who left an example to those who follow him in the•judgment-seat —what said he of that description of evidence ? " But let us first examine," he said in the celebrated case of Horiie Tooke, "in what manner this.matter, such 'as it is, was recorded: He preferred to speak from notes, yet I observed him frequently looking UP to the ceiling whilst he was speaking., when I said to him • Are you now speaking from a note ; have you got any note of 'what you are now saying?' He answered—Oh ! no, this is from recollection. Good God Almighty recollection mixing itself with notes in a case of high treason. He did net even take down the words ; nor, to do the man justice, he did not affect to have taken the words—but only the substance, as he himself expressed it. aOh ! excellent evidence. The substance of words taken. down by a spy, and supplied when defective from his memory ?" They then pursued his unfortunate client from Enniscorthy to Graig, and so on to Callan, Nine-mile House, and on to Carrick. There they had witnesses deposing to such language ai, the" grass rising in one rapid sway."—(A laugh.) One man sunk the fire-ship, and another brought it up from the depths of the sea—(Laughter)—fur the purposes of that prosecution. The Learned Counsel next proceeded to comment on the evidence of the police who deposed to the speeches, and continued—that was the evidence of the Crown on that part of the case. His Learned Friend the Solicitor General was a man of honour and a gentle man, and he would watch to see it he would ask them for a verdict on such testimony. He knew he would not ; for nothing worse was done in the worst days of the Stuarts,• nor in that fearful record of crime— the State Trials of England. Were they to send a young than to the scaffold on such reports of speeches as were given in evidence? It was in the power of the jury, no doubt, to do so—the prisoner at the bar was in their power, but if they convicted him they would shed innocent blood. For his own part, a worse case than the present he had never heard of or read, even in the . worst days elf the state trials. He contended that had his client been tried by twelve Englishmen , in England, his acquittal was certain. He (Mr. Whiteside) never felt so much . pain in his life as when he heard from a member of this •bar," much his senior,•that had Arthur O'Connor been tried in Ireland, instead of England, he must* have been convicted.. tie would have been overwhelmed,' he said, in Ireland by a load of prejudice, which the sober, good sense of England would have rejected, and found guilty' of high treason.' A priest named Quigly was, feuud in his company, with whom treasonable papers were got, but an English jury refused to convict him, ' because•they held he was not responsible for the acts and conduct of another. The principal evidence in the present case was that of spies; and what said their brilliant countryman (Burke) on that description of per sons,—" A mercenary informer knows no distinction. 'Under such a system the obnoxious people are slaves, not only to the Government, but they live at the mercy of every individual—they are at once the slaves of the whole community, and of every part of it, and the worst* and most unmerciful men aro those on whose 'goodness they most depend. Ia this situation men not may shrink from the frowns of a stern magis trate, but are obliged to fly from their very species. The seeds of destruction are sown in civil intercourse and in social habitudes. The blood of wholesome kindred is infected—the tables and beds are surrounded with snares.. All the means given by Providence to make life safe and comfortable are perverted into instruments of terror and torment. This species of universal subserviency, that makei the very servant who waits behind your chair the arbiter of your life and for tune, has such a tendency to degrade and, abuse man kind, and to deprive them of that assured and liberal state of mind which alone can make us what we ought to . be, that I vow to God I Would sooner bring myself to put a man to immediate death for opinions I disliked, and so ' to get rid of the man and his opinions at once, than to fret him with a feverish being, tainted with the gaol -distemper of a - contagious servitude to keep him above ground, an- animated mass of putrefaction, corrupted himself and corrupting all about. him." The Learned Gentleman next referred to the transactions at Ballingarry, and thus concluded : To sum up my argument, let me ask - fearlessly, has the Crown established to a demonstration that the prisoner levied war against the Queen? Directly he did not. From a participation in each - and all of the overt acts laid in the indictment he is free as the child unborn. This the Learned Counsel for the Crown confesses. The ad mission ought to startle the jury into the most watchful attention to. each step in the process by which the pri soner is argued into' the crimo of treasot. Mr. Smith O'Brien and others levied a constructive war against the Queen, and the prisoner is asserted to have been constructively present at the levying of constructive war. The prisoner, through the agency of several per sons whom he did not see; with whom he did not speak, nor corresponded, from Monday to Friday evening, was all the while levying war against her Majesty, and by construction is present, although physically and men tally absent. You are to find, by your verdict, he was constructively present, aiding those who were construc tively levying war against the Queen. He is to suffer a most horrid death, on the ground of the ,acts of, others with whom he was neither directly or indirectly con nected. This was the doctrine which b2flll-xl the com prehension of ordinary mindsp the lawyer establishes by vague words a tissue of assumptions. Compelled to adinit words are not treason, nor overt acts of levying -war, he converts the speeches into acts, and says the prisoner is guilty, not by words, but words which he calls acts. This is a grand step in the process of making out a constructive crime, evading or misstating the whole of the law of treason. The framers of the statute of Edward would stand aghast at this demolition of their glorious work. Moreover, these guilty words are to be received as evidence which would scarcely be' listened to in a common action for slander. 'This constructive levying of constructive' war is proved by cumulative, evidence of equivocal speeche3, .and which, though deemed sufficient in cases of life and death, would not he .received in cases of felony under the statute of Victoria: TES is the perfection of reason —a leaser degree of evidence required in the more serious case. Assume there was a council of war, next assume that thi, implied an intention to levy a.particu lar war in a particular place, neither being named or specified, and nothing speeifie being mentioned as to time or place, wherever or whenever the outbreak may happen, those ignorant of the time, place, circumstances, and actors, who never instigated the perpetration of any of the acts charged, are said to be rebels—are guilty, not merely of the *conspiracy, but ' of the fact of levying war in the open field. This makes our law of treason an abominable imposture, for it enables a prosecutor to pretermit the charge which . might be sustained for conspiracy, and to charge a man with the doing of a number of facts, of any ono of which he is wholly innocent. The rational view of the matter. would be, to consider the man who conspired to levy war guilty of the conspiracy when indicted for that crime, and when his guilt was established by two witnesses•to that crime, and to con sider those who levied war ,guilty of that fact when shown that they did actually levy war in the field. The course taken here is, to confound the distinction between armies, and reason and justice alike. A plain violation of the statute of Edward the Third this is, and the vio lation is justified on most suspicious authority. Accord ing to the construction we contend for, every man is guilty of this offence who, in the words of the old statutes, levies war, or who incites others or a multi tude, to do the treasonable acts of which he is accused. This is sensible. The opposite view is a contrivance to sacrifice human life on a quibble. But, at all events, the foundation of the accusation is, that some conspiracy or other to levy war has been proved. It is really the sub stance of the charge, and without clear proof .to demon stration of this conspiracy the acts of strangers would not bind the prisouer. Now, the case should be re garded by the jury as if the prisoner was actually n dicted for the conspiracy, his real crime, if any ; or,- if he were so indicted, two witnesses would be essential to I convict him.

The extreme depression which_ has lately affected the whole of the railway property of the kingdom has set the directors of the various companies at work in pre paring statements of their affairs, to prove to their shareholders and the public that there is no real ground existing for the depression. The directors of the Brigh ton Company have been 'the first to issue their state 'went, i❑ which they say:— " In the present depressed state of railway property, it appears to the directors to be a duty towards the pro prietors to adopt any legitimate means of restoring con fidence. For this purpose, they believe that a perfect understanding of the actual state of the company's af fairs is the first requisite. " The total capital authorised to be raised by the Acts of the Brighton Railway Company is 7,490,805/. " The total amount of capital raised up to the Ist Jan. 1849, will be, as nearly as possible 6,955,000/., Consisting of 1. Loan capital (1,631,2981., at date of last half-yearly report, since reduced by the proceeds of the Six per Cent. Stock ap plied in extinction of debt) ... 1,303,000 2. Preference share capital, viz.:— Five per Cents. ... ... 644,000 Six per Cents ... 393,000 3. Ordinary share capital ... 4,615,000 £6.955,000 " The future expenditure requisite to close the capital account, by the completion of the different works in progress is so limited, and most of the contracts are so tar advanced, that the following estimate is given with a high degree of certainty that it will not be exceeded, unless the increase of traffic should be so considerable as to require an amount of accommodation not at present foreseen. 1. Arrears of accounts for works, land, &c., on lines already opened ... £63,300 2. Further expenditure to complete lines and works in progress, viz.:— The Hailshata and Eastbourne and Thames Junction Branch, the Brick layers' Arms and Portsmouth Stations, and materials ordered (turn-tables, cranes, sleepers, &c.) 68.000_ 3. Engines ordered, , seise 4.- —"Piano sheds, improvement of Brighton sti tion, &a. ... 70,000 £202,100 Or say, including all contingencies, 240,0001. The only remaining item is the enlargement of the London-bridge station, the amount of which cannot be precisely ascertained, but it is confidently believed that in any event the estimate of 150,000 L, given by the com mittee of investigation in May last, will not be exceeded. Taking it at this figure, the extreme limit of further capital required to close the capital account will be 390,000 L, against which must be set about 145,0001. of available assets, consisting of 60,000 L to be paid by the South-Western Railway Company for the purchase of a joint interest in the line into Portsmouth; 15,0001. due from the steam packet company; 32,000/. of calls in arrears, surplus land, engines to be resold, atmospheric materials, &c. This leaves 245,0004 of additional capital, which will be required during the next two years. As the existing shares of the company are all fully called up (with the exception of a final call of 1L on the six per cent. preference shares, appropriated to paying off loans), this additional capital must be raised, either by the creation of fresh shares or by loan, for both of which sufficient powers are contained in the company's Acts. The directors fully expect to be able to raiso the requi site amount without the necessity of creating fresh shares. In this case the final capital of the company will consist of 7,200,0001., viz:— 1. Loan capital £1,548,000 2. Share capital entitled to preferential di ". 1,037,000 vidend 3. Ordinary share c a p ital ... 4,615,000 £7,200,000 The other sources to the 14th of c 1 , 8 7 81 were 194,805/. ; from the first of July ee e a r c e t e u e a l e f receipts rev October, they hare been 168,350/. ; and for the whole ht ti u of for th e the company first half-year a fromlf -ye a t r r 'L OP of the year 1848, they may be estimated, with a slight margin for the contingencies of traffic during the next two months, at 450,000/. The expenses of every sort for the first half-year amounted to 90,2261. The ex penses for the present half-year will not , a s far as the directors are able at present to ascertain , m uch exceed those of the first half-year, notwithstanding the larger amount of traffic ; and on the whole they feel confident that the total expenditure of the year 1848 will not exceed 190,000/. This would leave a nett income of about 260,0001., being equivalent to a nett return of nearly 4 per cent. on the whole productive capital which has earned revenue, or of about 3/. 10s. per cent. per annum on the ordinary share capital, after providing for interest and preferential dividend. With re gard to the probable future return, when the whole ca pital of 7,200,000/. is expended, it is thought better not to go into any speculative estimate. Some of the pro prietors may have seen an estimate lately given in the London Weehly Railway Share List, published under the authority of the Committee of the Stock Exchange, by which it is made to appear that a gross annual traffic of 609,3401, or at the rate of 11,718/. per week, would be required to pay a dividend of 4 per cent on the share capital. This estimate is altogether erroneous, for the following reasons:— " 1. The working expenses are assumed to amount to 274,'2031 per annum, whereas the actual working ex penses for the year 184 - 8 will be under 190,000/. The mistake arises from assuming that the ratio of ex penditure to receipt will be the same as it was for the first half-year of 1848, or 45 per cent.; while, in point of fact, the high ratio of expenditure to receipt for the first half-year, when the traffic is small, is counterbalanced by the lower ratio of the second half-year, when the traffic is large; and the general average of the year will only be about 41 per cent. Any estimate of expenditure by per tentage is, however, quite fallacious, since by far the greater part of the expenses are fixed, and do not increase in propor tion with an increase in traffic, as is shown by the fact above stated, that the ratio of expenditure to receipt on an average traffic of 7,500/. per week, during the first half-year, is 45 per cent., while on an average traffic of 10,000/. per week, during the second half year, the ratio is only übout 38 per cent. A traffic of 11,7001. per week might be carried on with ease by ten trains daily each way between Brighton and London in summer, and eight in the winter (the number now running), and, therefore, the additional expenditure would be compara tively small. "2. The tot al ultimate capital is assumed tobe 7;440,9301. being 240,0001. in access of what has been already given as the real amount ; and the present amount of loan and preferential capital is stated as 2,737,4541., instead of 2 ,340,0001., which is the actual figure, from overlook ing the facts that only 393,0001. of guaranteed 6 per cent, stock has been issued instead of 461,8551., and that this amount is not a creation of new capital, but in substitution for an equal amount of loan capital. " 3. The rate of interest on the whole of the loan ca pital is assumed to be 5i per cent. This appears un reasonable, looking at the fact that the present average rate of interest paid by the company is only about 4i per cent., and that only 125,0001. of the debt falls due up to the beginni ng o f 1 8 5 0. , ' Irrespective, however, of any question as to the rate of interest, which may be a matter of opinion, the positive erro rs un d er the f i rst two heads would di minish the net sum available for dividend by an amount which may be safely stated as at least equ'va- IRELAND. THE, SPECIAL COMMISSIONS. DUBLIN, SATUBDLY.—The Clon me l Ch ron i c l e o f Friday says-- "The Special. Commission at Clonmel will not close till all the political prisoners shall have been tried. The Attorney-General leaves town to-morrow night for Dublin, to conduct the prosecution against Duffy and the other State prisoners fur trial there. Crown summonses were served here this morning and yesterday, upon per. sons required to give evidence against Duffy. The Soli citor-General will conduct the prosecution for the Crown,. in the cases of the State prisoners for trial in Clonmel.." MAIL COMMUNICATION WITH ENGLAND. A correspondence is in progress between the Dublin Chamber of Commerce and the Postmaster- General, respecting the inconvenience of the present snail communication between Dublin and England, via Holyhead and Liverpool. The Chamber of Com merce object particularly to the departure of the Liverpool mail at so early an hour in the afternoon as four o'clock, and they also draw attention to the in convenience of the Holyhead route, the mail steamer being dispatched from Kingstown at half-past eleven - A.M., only three hours after the departure of the steamer belonging to the. Chester and Holyhead Com pany. The Mercantile Advertiser contains the last letter from the Chamber •of Commerce to the Post- - master-General, dated October 13, which concludes as follows : " On the strong objections which exist to the present arrangement your Lordship has been informed. " Your Lordship has been apprised that all the banks, the custom-house, and nearly all the public offices, close at three o'clock, rendering the previous hours amongst the busiest of the day, and rendering it extremely diffi cult, and in some cases impossible, to make that business the subject of letters which are now required to be posted at the receiving-houses throughout the city before three o'clock, and at the General Post. office befure half past three, or until forty minutes past three, on pay ment of a fee of sixpence in addition to the postage on each letter. "Your Lordship has also been informed that the mail for Liverpool is not required solely for correspondence with London, but is at present essential to the impor tant communication with. the manufacturing districts of Saglapd, and ,tiv.s-41tia mitorreepowciance Is , seriously im- Peded Isy the entlitsing regulation., " That the letters, for Belfast, which do not ar rive in Dublin until a quarter before five o'clock, and which were formally forwarded via Liverpool when that mail was dispatched at half-past six, are now wholly excluded from a mail dispatched at half-past four. " That the letters from Cork, which do not arrive - in- Dublin -until twenty minutes past three, cannot, as for merly, be delivered in time to permit of any communica tion arising out of them being made via Liverpool, &c., although Cork being the port of call' for vessels arriving for orders, it is. highly important that such communica tion should not be delayed. " The Chamber of Commerce refrain from trespassing on your Lordship'& attention by a detail of minor incon veniences; nor need they refer to transactions which occurred in 1846, except to point out to your Lordship than wh6n an alteration in the dispatch of the Liverpool mail, similar to that now complained of, was made in a similar manner, that is, made by the anthorities in London, without any communication whatsoever with those locally formed in Dublin, it was found necessary almost immediately to annul that arrangement, and to adopt the regulation which has since existed. "Your Lordship is possibly not aware that the recent alteration in the dispatch of the Liverpool mail was not made at the request or on the suggestion of the bankers, merchants, or traders of Dublin, or, so far as can be ascertained, on that of any portion of the community interested in the postal communication between Great Britain and Ireland; that no effort appears to have been made by the Post -office authorities to consult the wishes or elicit the Opinion of those whose interests and con venience were most likely to be affected; nor was any intimation whatsoever given of the arrangement until the Post-office authorities in London notified, by public ad vertisement, that it was completed, and it would be car ried into effect at an early and specified day. This course of proceeding, with reference to the interests of the citi zens of Dublin, the Chamber of Commerce deeply regret; they are led to believe that it is not in accordance with the course usually adopted, where the similar interests of important towns in Great Britain are affected, and must have been adopted in forgetfulness of the assurance contained in the Postmaster-General's letter of the 25th March last, that in consequence of a letter which his Lordship had then recently received from the Secretary of the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company, he was unable to afford any - definite information as to the course be would be prepared to pursue (when the Holyhead line would be opened), but that he would not fail to communicate further with the Chamber of Commerce upon the subject as soon as his arrangements were finally decided. Hoping-for your Lordship's favourable consi deration of the suggestions offered and relief from the i nconv enience consequent on the too early di spatch of the Liverpool mail, I have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's most obedient servant, " CHARLES lIALIDAY, Hon. Sec. " To the Most Noble the Marquis of Clanricarde, Postmaster-General, &c. ttc., London." OPENING OF THE DUBLIN COMMISSION. The commission was opened at the Court-house, Green-street, this day. The presiding judges were Mr. Justice Torrens and Mr. Justice Crampton, who were accompanied by the Lord Mayor an d ot h er cor• porate officers. The grand juries for the county and city having been sworn, _ Judge TORBENS, in.addre sing the city g ran d j ury, said it became his duty to call their attentio n t o t h e du ties they were imperatively called upon to perform, and to instruct them as, to the state of the calendar, and make such observations as he might deem just in the performance of his duty. In the first place, he had to tell them that, notwithstanding the calendar pre sented crimes affecting the state of society, yet, in consequence of proceedings which had taken place at the last commission, they would not be called upon to ex amine into evidence affecting those serious cases. He spoke from the records o f the city, in whi c h h e found that at the last. commission there were four persons charged with the serious offences to which he alluded. Three of those four persons were Charles Gavan Duffy, Richard D. Williams, Kevin Izod O'Doherty, who were charged with felony for publishing certain s e di t i ous writings in the Nation and, Tribune newspapers. One of those persons was tried at the last commission, under bills of indict ment found by their predecessors, and on that subject any further explanations which the Court could give would be quite unnecessary. Bills of indictment. having been found by a former grand jury against those persons, it was not necessary that new bills sh ou ld b e sent up on the present occasion in the cases of Williams and O'Doherty. The third case was that of Charles Gavan Duffy, against whom bills had been already found, for the publication of certain seditious writings in the Nation newspaper; and upon being arraigned, and called u p on t o plead, he put in a plea, in which th e C rown joined issue, so that, bills having been found by their predeces sors, the present grand jury were relieved from the con sideration of those three serious cases. Respecting the other cases on the calendar, with the exception of one, he found them of the ordinary nature which frequently occur in the metropolis, and being su c h h e found it un necessary to draw their attention to any but the one he had alluded to. That case , too, WAS connecte d w i t h political subjects, which had been before the Court, and which, in another place, was now under inquiry. The case to which he alluded had reference to the po liceman, with i ntent. to kill and wounding of a murder.. Ho •had looked- into the- informations, which THE LORD LIEUTENANT. Saunders' News Letter says :--- " We understand that his. Excellency the Earl of Clarendon, on' his visit to London, will receive at the hands of her MajestY the ribbon of the Order of the Garter, vacant by the death of the late Earl of Carlisle, fiis Excellency's stay in England . will not extend be yond a .few. days." It is stated very confidently here that the Earl of Clarendon is to be raised to the dignity of a Marquis THE SPECIAL COMMISSION; TRIAL OF MR. MEAGHER. ' CLONMEL, OCT. 20.—At the sitting of the. Court this morning Mr. Whiteside resumed his brilliant and powerful speech on behalf of the:prisoner. It was a splendid piece ofeloquence, especially towards the close,:and.created a great sensation in court. The Learned Geneleman commenced by saying that on the previous evening he had referred to the charge made against his client, for sympathising with the French revolution.. Now what was the fact ? That in England, after the first French revolution, meeting on meeting was got up, addresses adopted and presented to the people of that country, some of which contained expressions of a most objec tionable nature, and yet a jury refused to convict pri soners charged with high treason. He should next call their attention to the evidence of Dobbin. They must, .however, bear in mind that, bad Mr. Meagher been indicted for a conspiracy, two witnesses were necessary, and yet, in every instance, where an important fact was to be proved in this case, there was only one witness. Let them compare the statements made now with those of that man on a former occasion. . 'Let them examine how far he was corrobo rated by circumstances ; and after doing so, their duty will be to decide as their own fate shall be adjudged in mother world. He saide the jury should recollect that he never spoke at any of their meetings—that they used to meet in a small room on Constitution-hill to read - newspapers. The Learned. Counsel then proceeded to read the evidence of Dobbin, and continued:—He had thus given them a faithful transcript of his evidence, and they would see the additions he made to his testimony formerly given. In the first place, he never said a word about the Convention Act; he did not say a syllable of the arrangement that three should be a quorum; and other things, of which they had not heard a word on the former trials. They would bear in mind _that the lives of thirty persons were at stake on the evidence of such a man who had so con ducted himself. What was the meaning of the oath a man took when examined in a court of justice? He swears to tell the whole truth; and yet, in this instance, this man not only gives a totally different version of it, hat adds circumstances of which they never heard, and substitutes names and persons at his pleasure. The whole thirty men who acted at the council forfeited their lives according to the arguinent of the Attorney-General; but he (Mr. Whiteside) would ask the jury, did they ever see treason so slovenly committed as it was by them, - according to the testimony of that man? What corrobo-, ration was there that the council which he described was a war council? There was none, according to the state= went of the Attorney-General; and then - they had the evidence of a man like him on a charge which'should bring his client, if convicted, to the scaffold. The At, torney-General not only said that- his evidence could not be corroborated, but, in addition, that it was not in his power to do so. - Why not sum mon all the persons in the outer room, many of : whose names could be supplied by Dobbin? They could have been sworn on the table, and merely state, without convicting themselves, th a t D o bbi n was p resent on the 21st of July. Besides, every ono knew where the meeting was held ; waa notorious to all the citi zens of Dublin that the place was D'Olier-street ; and Why; he should ask, was not the detective produced, who was on the watch on that evening ? That they could have done so no man can doubt, for the attention of the Government was directed at this time to the clubs, and this council in particular, and every one knew that. Mr. Meagher's person was.well known to every detective in Dublin. No human being was summoned to prove that that meeting was held, and if it - had been held, there is no doubt whatever that every man who went there was watched by the police. What evidence had they that Dobbin himself was present but his ewa ? A policeman was produced to prove his having seen him go into the room occupied by the " Red Htad Club" on a particular evening, and yet there's no one to show that ho was in D'Olier-street on the 21st 'of July. Besides, what evidence had they that Mr. Meagher was present either, except of that man who was a notorious spy r Mr. Meagher was a publie man, his person was well known to the Government; he, an eloquent'speaker, in the habit of addressing the clubs, the Government were watching him, and yet not a human being is found to prove his presence at that meeting whose testimony would or could be believed by a jury. He remembered having read once that the only way to preserve the liberties of a country was for every man to look upon an aggression of another man's rights as if it were on his own, and that was the position in which the jury were placed in regard to Mr. Meagher. Would they like to have their lives placed at the mercy of a man who scrupled not to tell everything that came into his head, and was totally un corroborated by a single witness He should now come to the balloting papers found in the possession of Mr. Lalor. They would remember that those papers were kept since that time, not by his esteemed friend Mr. ICemmis, the Crown solicitor, but by Mr. Reding ton, the Under Secretary of State, who sent them to him on the evening previous to the opening of the Commis sion. Why was not Mr. Redington produced? Ho had the custody of those rapers since they were discovered, and would have explained to them if any alterations were made, but he was not brought forward. He was no doubt an Under Secretary of State, but in the eyo of the law not more than a police-constable —aye, not better than police-constable Prouder himself. What would the jury think it' those papers were to be kept in police conetable Prender's possession, the associate and companion of the immaculate Dobbin? On those papers the handwriting of Dobbin himself was no doubt proved by an attorney's clerk, but he was ' not corroborated in any other particular; nor did they ask Mr. O'Hara, when he was on the table for another purpose, if Mr. Dillon's handwriting was to a single paper. They called up a Mr. Sharman, also, a solicitor, who proved Ma'. Meagher's handwriting to a letter, and yet they did not ask him a word se to his writing on the balloting papers, although Dobbin proved that he (Meagher) was present, and voted. Dobbin swore also that no clergymen were to be on the council; he stated that they resolved not to do it before the election commenced, and yet these men, who were going steadily to overthrow the state, did that In one mo ment what they resolved on another not to do. Dobbin • • said that there was an equality of votes fo r Lal or and Reilly in the first instance, but a greater falsehood was never uttered in a court of justice. His story was, that two scrutineers were appointed; that, on examinin g the papers, there was an equality of vot es . But what was the fact? Reilly was elected b y a majority man and ten for another. Of course the jury would hear the explanation of that fact to be given by Mr. Solicitor- General, but in his opinion it was impossible to do so. Then let them look at the account Dobbin gave of him self. He began as a schoolmaster in Ballyshannon, but the school was soon shut up. Then he became a collec tar for a newspaper, and lost the subscriptions.—(,A as a Protestant, he feig ne d to b e a under what he calls a delusion.—( A l i a te u m gh a . l ) , C N a e tn x n t, lie, laugh.) Ho was under no delusion; be was a hypocrite of a worse charact er than even a s py. He said he was a Catholice t en f m o r e s the a n Orangemanpurpose when he a situati on , an d then bdelusion ceases— (A laugh)—or rather when ho cannot get a . sit uat i on . They next found him in the Cu , tom-house docks in Dublin, threatening to dismiss his employer for al lowing men to drink wine; and again, he was ele voted to the position of carrying a chain for a sur veyor.—(A laugh.) From that position he goes into Mr. Griffith's office, where the secret of a for gery was reposed in his immaculate breast—(A lough)—which he keeps for six mouths, although he knew his employer was robbed of 651. They next found hi m in England, and finally returned to this happy land, where many a man made his fortune as a spy, and is found in the Poor-law- office, telling a respectable gen tleman that b was abont to be assassinated!
