HARRIS, Ne,.,spaper Agent, I, Blacktriars - Nad , London, S . , Prussia was the first to signify her acceptance of the proposed Congress, which is considered a fa vourable sign of her intentions, and it certainly appears to be so in some measure. The truth is that that wily nation seems likely in some respects to get the best of it in this Assembly, as has so often happened before. Austria has not shown anything like readiness to join the other Powers, and has distinctly declared that the Venetia ques tion shall not be discussed ; and indeed the official Gazette of Vienna confirms the statement by saying that Austria has "positively refused" to entertain any project for the cession of Venetia, and also asserts that the Conference • is incom petent to discuss the affairs of the German Confede ration, thus absolutely leaving nothing to occupy the attention of the assembled representative s at Paris but the Schleswig-Holstein question, and even that it seems she would prefer leaving to the settle nent of the estates of those Duchies.

There will be little sympathy felt in this country for the discomfiture of the Spaniards in the Pacific. An unjust and aggressive war, begun on the most frivolous pretexts, has been prosecuted in a manner which has called down the unanimous reprobation of all neutral Powers. At the very outset public favour naturally inclined to the side of the gallant little Republics, who had so hardly achieved their independence against heavy odds, and whose liberties were threatened on no better ground than le droit du plus fort. The resolute attitude at once assumed by Chili, and the unflinching deter mination maintained by her Government and people not to sheathe the sword until some guarantee were obtained for future tran quillity and independence excited still warmer interest in her fortunes. Peru had tried concession and conciliation to very little purpose. Chili, warned by her example, followed the natural inclination of her brave and high-spirited people, and met insult with dignity, attack with defence. After the first excitement of the struggle had a little abated, and when it h2d become clear that the great Powers intended to hold their hands and let Spain do all the mischief she would or could, a fresh movement on the part of the Spanish Commander again drew the attention of the English public to the coasts of the Pacific. The bombardment of a defenceless city, in which large quantities of neutral property were stored, created the deepest indignation among all civilised peoples. The remonstrances of the representatives of the different Powers proved entirely ineffectual, and as none of the naval com manders present were willing to go beyond words the ships opened fire, and in a very few hours Valparaiso was a heap of ruins. It was currently reported that amidst the consternation and sorrow of the inhabitants of Valparaiso, beside their smouldering homes, that Admiral NUNEZ had instructions to pursue the same plan all round the Chilian coast, and that Callao was to be the next victim. No doubt the Spanish officers, flushed by their inglori ous triumph over a defenceless city, anticpated a brilliant series of similar successes ; but the Chilians, recovered from their shock were not to be taken unawares again. They had learned by a bitter lesson how much to trust in the humanity of their adversaries or the courage of their allies, and they fell back upon their own resources as more hopeful than either. Callao was defended with such good effect that, on the 2d inst., after four hours' fighting the Spanish fleet was repulsed by the shore batteries, with the Admiral wounded, and two ironclads disabled. We may guess the energy and resolution with which the Chilians threw them selves into the struggle from the fact that the Secre tary of War was among the killed, but their efforts were successful, and the Spaniards had the mortifi cation of retreating, leaving Calao still in existence, with the prestige of their previous successes sadly deteriorated. There is one thing which cannot fail to strike the close observer on receiving this news from Callao. Why was no effort made to protect Valparaiso, when the Chilians have shown themselves fully capable of confronting, and even of defeating, their adversaries? We fear the answer is one that is extremely mor tifying and humiliating to this country. The Chilians did not attempt to defend their chief seaport, because they relied on the presence of their allies, especially of the English fleet, to pre vent such a barbarous act as the bombardment of a defenceless city. England, always ready with her cautious advice, had begged the Chilians not to affront or provoke the Spaniards by making any appearance of resistance, and the Chilians had care fully followed her instructions, never supposing that a fleet was kept in the Pacific for show. how cruelly the expectations of the people were disap pointed we all know, how ship after ship steamed out of the harbour so as not to intercept the work of destruction ; the city was laid waste, and the pro perty of English merchants destroyed by fife mil lion. If the fleets had just kept their places without firing a gun, does any one suppose that Admiral NUNEZ would have dared to involve his country in a war with England and America by opening fire on their ships ? But it is the fashion in these non intervention days to run away first and consider afterwards, by which wise and pacific policy we are rapidly succeeding in embroiling the whole of the civilised world. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVEINING, JUNE 2, 1866, long as they do not affect international relations." All that we can say is, that it has not been made very plain to us that the Germans can settle these matters in a manner_either satisfactory to others or creditable to themselves, and nothing but the inter position they now object to has prevented the out break of war before this. At the first things cer tainly went against Prussia, and the Austrian representative had the best of it. It is the I more unfortunate for the Berlin Government that this expression of opinion should have taken place before the meeting of the Conference, because it puts them in an awkward position, and certainly seems to make out that their plans and projects have been running counter to the popular feeling of Germany and offended the taste and just feelings of the nations of Europe collectively. Au interesting feature in this pro tracted dispute on Continental matters is, the effort made by the royal ladies to preserve peace. Three out of the five whose good offices effected so much at Gastein are now busily engaged in their pacific task. The three sisters who held the respective positions of Queen Dowager of Prussia, Archduchess of Austria, and Queen of Saxony, are engaged in this work with heart and mind, and the good wishes of many will go with them, although we cannot see how their efforts can attain more than a temporary success. One of the chief obstacles in the way of the mediating Powers may be found in the fact that they have none of them, either individually or collectively, much influence with the dispu tants ; and another evil is that the three armed Powers are most vexatiously, each of them bent on some perversely selfish and aggressive course, however suicidal it may appear to those who look on from a distance. Thus Prussia will do all she can to get possession of the Duchies of the Elbe, and Austria seems infatuated with respect to the tenure of Venetia. Italy, with no such plausible reason for dispute as either of the two great German Powers ; has made up a bete noire for herself, and insists on picking a quarrel with Austria coute qui coute. We are not quite sure if this dilemma will not prove the worst of the whole in the end, for nothing is more difficult than to appease these angry feelings. It seems most inconsistent that nearly all other diplomatic business should be put on one side, as it were, in order that proper attention may be paid to these Powers who threaten to set Europe in a blaze for no definite object at all that we can see ; but such is the consequence of having given in too much to the inordinate ambi tion of Prussia, and leaving her to pursue her un scrupulous course. Sir HUGH CAIRNS is a formidable opponent for any measure, and a much less abused bill than the Ministerial Reform Bill would fare badly if he chose to subject it to his searching analysis and vigorous attack. The re-opening of the debate last evening was delayed by Mr. WHALLEY, who deter mined to render himself and his motion remarkable by obstructing the road of the Reform Bill. The unconcealed impatience of the members pro duced no more effect on the placid immo bility of Mr. WHALLEY " than a flake fall ing on the glaciers of the high Alps," until the House wearying of the prospect of hearing nothing but WHALLEY on Fenianism, instead of CAIRNS on Reform attempted desperate measures which were eventually so far successful that they brought up the Speaker himself, whose remonstrances at last prevailed upon Mr. WHALLEY to subside into his native insignificance. The speech of Sir HUGH CAIRNS was the speech of the evening, though a host of lesser members followed from all parts of the House, the one prevailing idea being to speak on the subject. Lord ELciro's very singu lar proposal to Mr. GLADSTONE received the answer it deserved, since the Government would lose less by a decisive defeat than by such shuffling and deceitful conduct. One more evening will bring the final test, and the Government have been singularly unfortunate in their opponents. The speeches of Sir JOHN PAKINGTON, Mr. LowE, and Sir HUGH CAIRNS, following in quick succession have told heavily against them, and they have done little to confront the enemy. Either from their fault or their misfortune the speakers on the Ministerial side have been mostly tame and unimportant, those who have been animated have wanted weight, those who have had influence and position have disap pointed their hearers. An advocate like Sir HUGH CAIRNS would have stood them in good stead, but at present his powerful and brilliant address remains unanswered. The rejection by the House of Lords last night of the Hawking Goods on Sunday Bill is very for tunate, and will afford general satisfaction to the public. It is always a pity when a subject of this kind is brought forward in either House of the Legislature, because it calls up angry feelings, and gives rise to discussions which are calculated to pro duce much mischief, and cannot possibly do any good at all. There was no end to the incon veniences . that would infallibly have arisen had this bill passed into law. The inter ference of the police, to begin with, would have been most insupportable ; and, as the Lord Chancellor last night asserted, he bad heard from Sir H. MAYNE that it was quite out of the question that the police should be called upon to interfere. It was proposed at once to strike out the clause, but notwithstanding this too many evils abound to allow of the passing of the measure. Lord ABINGDON made some very sensible remarks on the subject, and asked very properly " Why the poor should be prevented from doing what their lordships and their servants did of a Sunday ? If he entered the house of any of their lordships on a Sunday forenoon, would he not find them at breakfast, eating their cooked fish and cutlets, and reading the Sunday Gazette and Observer ? Why should a poor man be deprived of the pri vilege of purchasing a newspaper ? They heard a great deal about the danger of an extension of the franchise, but there was much more danger in this class legislation." These remarks are exceedingly appropriate, and exactly describe the state of the case ; indeed it seems almost incredible that people should persuade themselves that such a measure could be desirable or profitable in any respect. The Marquis of BATH mentioned another evil result of this bill: it would prevent the poor people 3l nf l el c eo l iowtb i l n hvleeefrrl t o l te l ihr e nlaae ir mstst c he i rh i seu n ale n ayao e fu rs tle to be baked on a Sun day,Adwahnyti and t e a h r s proper tri. nm mentionedoaci afternoon e p o l tr i h ; t i h n ee av e d e te a s n yti at hn ega h , s o t a l ni Sun day de.. never in the morning. Altogether we must con gratulate their lordships on having thrown out this hill 7 and thus having shown to the people, whom it old have affected by its vexatious restrictions, Ibitt a majority of their house has decided in favour tithe populwhich long ago mad e k nown ;4 h . a arinterferingopinion, and restrictive atte m pt s at .tt these legislation will never be tolerated by the commu nity, for they are inimical to that general freedom of action so much to be desired. Lord Dufferin has appointed Mr. F. W. R. Gor don to be his private secretary. Lord De Grey has ap pointed Mr. Sidney ciodolphiu Osborne to be his private secretary. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Friday Evening. Several of the Paris papers to-day express their fears that in spite of the consent of Austria to the Conference her intention, or at all events her desire, is for war. The Austrian papers also argue in this spirit, and sneer and deride the idea of a Con ference, as a project - which only delays a war for which preparation has been made by expensive and extensive armaments. Some treat the Conference as a dangerous expedient, the only result of which will be to delay for a few days a war which will then become general throughout the whole of Europe. The Moniteur has no news or information about the Congress or the affairs of Germany. It an nounces the receipt of despatches for Mexico, dated April 28, and from Vera Cruz of the Ist of May. Nothing of importance had taken place since the last accounts. The military information is that the movements of the troops were not directed to any hostile attack or defence, but merely with the view of maintaining the tranquillity of the country and augmenting the confidence of the population. From the further inquiries respecting the terrible accident at the private manufactory at La Villette, it appears that the number of dead is twenty-nine. Many of those persons expired at the hospital after horrible suffering. More workmen have received injuries, and thus it is feared that there will be an addition to the list of the dead. The proprietor, M. Aubin, is generally at the manufactory during the whole day, but, led by a happy circumstance, he was absent at the time of the accident. Seven mem bers of his family, however, are among the victims. Crinoline has much to answer for, but according to the account in La Liberte, a woman was saved by it. The steel band around her paralysed the action of the explosion. Only a few days ago there were houses close to the manufactory, where at least a hundred persons lived, but they had just been pulled down to complete improvements in progress. Had it not been so the force of the explosion would no doubt have scattered those houses and all within them into the air. A correspondent of the Siecle at Dresden gives an account of an interview he has had with M. Beust, which deserves some attention. M. Beust said, un reservedly, to this gentleman, " The idea of a Ger man Triad is not so foolish as has been supposed. There are only three things possible for Germany, dualism, unity, or the triad. Prussia and Austria lived invariably side by side till 1848, but since that period, and particularly of late, you know what dualism has produced. Prussia wishes to take the first rank in Germany, and Austria will not allow her to do so. The question of the Duchies of the Elbe has arisen like an apple of discord. I declared myself in favour of the independence of Schleswig- Elolstein with the Prince of Augustenburg, or any other potentate, because sensible logic proved to me that it was only by this mode that there would be an escape from great complications. I said both at Vienna and at Berlin that by this plan each of the great Powers might, in concert with the Ger manic Confederation, arrange for itself a just por tion of interest and influence in the Duchies by avoiding dangerous competition. For the rest, during fifteen years,:whenever I have proposed any thing, the very contrary has been adopted at Berlin. I am treated as an enemy, but I am no more the adversary of Prussia than I am the partisan of Aus tria. We were the first to agree to a treaty of commerce with Italy. This is no sign of a very strong tie with Austria. The sympathy of Saxony with Austria has no reference to the policy of the country, and there is no truth in the report of a treaty of alliance. We have our hands equally free in regard to Austria and Prussia. The attitude we have assumed is not one of hostility, as has been said at Berlin, but simply an act of independence, and a good example for the middle and small States." After some further observations, M. Beust said, " I hope that war may be avoided." Fabrications are rife nowadays, but I believe there is full reason to rely upon the truth of this conversation. The Siecle has a larger circulation and greater influence among the masses than any other Paris paper. The papers are so crowded with the discussions in the Legislative Body relative to the law of extradi tion that they have no room for miscellaneous news, if there were any. The Moniteur has only about twenty lines of faits divers, or general news. The speeches on the subject of extradition have some in terest, but I reserve an analysis of the points en forced until they assume a more complete and tangible shape. The Journal des Debats has no news to-day about the war, but merely observes that Austria and Prussia are engaged in mutual accusations against each other. We had another little storm of thunder and light ning yesterday evening, but it was not violent. Rain fell in abundance. To-day it has been showery, but in the intervals of rain the sun shone brightly and the heat was intense. LA TEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE WAR CRISIS. BERLIN, JUNE 2. The Austrian Government has justified the arma ments of the States of the Germanic Confederation to the representatives of the Great Powers, on the ground that those States have to take into consi deration the possibility of Federal execution against Prussia, as the latter questions the right of the Federal Diet to settle the differences respecting the succession to the Elbe Duchies. VIENNA, JUNE 2. The Prince Archbishop of Brixen has addressed a pastoral to the clergy of his see, declaring the highest interests of the Catholic Church to be in volved in the impending conflict. A semi-official article says—" Great importance is attached to the obstacles which exist in the way of a settlement of the questions to be dis cussed by the Conference." As regards Venetia it is considered that it will be most difficult to find the means of compensating Austria for the cession of that province, even should Austria be willing to entertain the idea of compen sation. MUNICH, JUNE 2. Several officers of high rank have arrived here from Wurtemburg, Electoral Hesse, Baden, and Nassau, in order to be present at the deliberations to be held at the residence of the Minister of War. CARLSRUUE, JUNE 2. The Grand Duke of Baden left here to-day for Palnitz, where, by mutual desire, a meeting will take place between his highness and the King of Saxony. The official Carlsruhe Zeitung states that the motives of the meeting are the threatening po sition of affairs in Germany, and the wish expressed on all sides for a peaceful settlement of pending difficulties by means of Federal reform.

Without forgetting the serious difficulties and the unforeseen incidents which may arise, we place the greatest hopes in the sincere efforts of the different Governments assembled in Congress to give satis faction to the manifest wants and wishes of the populations."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—Misstatements having appeared that the safe opened at the Manchester Stamp-office " was a new Milner's safe," and also that the safe had about 12 months ago been sent to the makers to be made thief-proof, we shall feel obliged if you will allow us, through your valuable columns, to contradict these statements. The safe was an old one, sold in 1858, the same year as the safe was sold in that was opened at the Cornhi]l robbery last year by the novel and before unheard-of process so clearly de scribed by the convict Casely on the trial, " Walker v.Milner," by which means any safe made before 1865 may be forced open. The robbery was effected in both cases between Saturday and Monday, embrac ing from 36 to 40 hours. Since the robbery in Corn hill we have effectually prevented the successful application of the same method. By inserting this note, and so allaying the un necessary alarm of those who have purchased our modern safes of lists 3,4, or 5, you will oblige.— Your obedient servants, JNO. MILNER AND ►SON.

The will of the Right Hon. Georgiana Lady Raglan was proved in the London Court by her husband, the Right Hon. Richard Henry Fitzroy Somerset, Baron Raglan, only surviving son of the late Field Mar shal Lord Raglan. The grant of probate is limited to the effects which her ladyship became possessed of under the will of her father, the late Earl Beauchamp, consisting, amongst other things, of a sum of £lO,OOO, and Over which she had the power of appointment, and di'sposes thereof in favour of her husband, who is also entitled to the family estate of Cefutilla, in Monmouthshire, appointing as trustees the Most Noble Charles Gordon, Duke of Richmond, and her brother, the Hon. Frederick Lygon. Her ladyship died at the early age of 33, leaving issue four sons.

The handiest edition ever yet published of this brilliant series of fictions, is the one just now be gining to be issued from the press by the Messrs. Frederick Warne and Company, of Covent Garden. And not only is it the handiest edition, but it is the cheapest also, and the prettiest—printed, as it is, upon really beautiful paper, in the clearest and handsomest type. It signalises in a remarkable manner the conspicuous, or rather, let us ray, the ex ceptional, manner in which the author of these popu lar works stands forth among his contemporaries in the enjoyment of two distinct reputations—his repu tation in politics and his reputation in literature. As a Novelist he floated into popularity, one might say, upon the surface of the creme de la creme. As a Statesman he has won his way (in the teeth of a very formidable opposition) twice to power, and perma manently, so long at least as he shall remain in the House of Commons, to his present lofty position as the Leader of the Country Party, as the Leader of the country gentlemen of England, or, as Mr. Gladstone remarked the other day, with such an ineffable sneer (a sneer of both look and voice so intense in its acrimony as almost to have the aspect of malignity)—as " Leader of the Tory Party, forsooth !" Mr. Disraeli's twofold reputation—here as Novelist, there as Statesman— being perfectly distinct the one from the other : though brought into harmony somehow (when he was just: in mid-career, as one may say) by the drift and purport of the two best and ablest among all his novels, namely his literary master piece " Coningsby," and the next best among his fictions, " Sybil, or the Two Nations." Only that his otherwise widely contrasting re pute as a Novelist and Politician are in this manner linked together by the inner significance of " Sybil" and " Coningsby"—his career in Parlia ment, and his career out of it, stand entirely apart the one from the other. Turn to the first volume of this new and popular edition of the well-known fictions written years and years ago by the now leader of her Majesty's Opposition—turn to this newly issued cheap edition of " The Young Duke " and open it anywhere you please, with a view to illustrate the accuracy or the inaccuracy of the re marks we have just now jotted down, namely as to the perfectly distinct footing upon which his repute rests, here as Novelist there as Politician—meaning, in his instance, in the latter capacity, as both Orator and Statesman. Opening " The Young Duke" say at p. 215—it happens to bo at the Fifth Chapter of the Fourth Book—we read, after a casual remark to the effect that " there are some things which your miserable moderate incomes cannot command, and which one might like to have—for instance, a band !"—we read this exquisite piece of almost im pertinence, we might call it, in the way of a refined aspiration —" A complete, a consummate band in uni forms of uncut white velvet, with a highly wrought gold button just tipped with a single pink topaz, seems to me the 7-6 KaX6v. When we die, Band' will be found impressed upon our heart, like Frigate' on the core of Nelson ['s]. The negroes should have their noses bored as well as their ears, and hung with rings of rubies. The kettle drums should be of silver." And so on ! Fancy this—[though certainly it was in his hot youth when George the Fourth was king]—from the for midable and authoritative Leader nowadays of Her Majesty's Opposition, or, again to quote Mr. Gladstone's incomprehensible sneer, the Leader "of the Tory party, forsooth!" In other words, from one who is now about the weightiest speaker in the House of Commons, and who has during this present session been virtually so far the Leader of the House, that he has, time and again been the regulator or arbiter in regard to its proceedings, in the way of extracting those proceedings from the jumble into which they have been brought by the petulance or perversity of—at the very least it must be said by the glaring want of tact and of discretion manifested by--tne nominal or official Leader of the House, the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The author of The Young Duke, of Henrietta Temple, of Vivian Grey, of Contarini Fleming, seems to us a totally different man, somehow, from the weighty, authori tative, deliberate leader of the Conservatives, the formidable analyst of the policy of the Govern ment-that-is, the probable leader in the House of Commons for a third time, before very much longer, of the Government-that-is-to-be—and that not so very remotely 1 There is the same difference in the character of the two men (as they actually seem to be)—one is almost induced to believe-- as between that charmingly pencilled head by Chalon, comely, poetic, ringletted, and the thought ful, inscrutible countenance of the same man, as ho sits there nightly in the house of Commons at the centre of the front bench of the Opposition.

Illustrated by a map of the battle-fields and by a double frontispiece, containing within it companion portraits of the two great Commanders-in-Chief-- the one of the North or Federals, the other of the South or Confederates, to wit, General Grant and General Lee—this admirably succinct and (so far as can, in reason, be expected from any one) dis passionate epitome of the leading events of one of the bloodiest wars upon record , will be found, upon the whole, to be so perfectly reliable in regard to its facts, and so admirably clear in regard to its de scriptions, that it not only takes its place at once upon our bookshelves as an authority upon the sub ject of which it treats, but appears to us to be tole rably secure of, being often and often co nsu lt e d , as such, as occasion may require. The author begins with the beginning and ends with end. He does not content himself and bewilder his readers by a succession of disjointed recollections. The narra tive is, from first to last, sequential and con secutive. He takes us with him from event to event, from incident to incident, chronologically . . He lays all the best historians of the great Civil War of which lie treats under contribution. Aud he does this avowedly and indiscriminately. Be ginning with what he speaks of as monstrum horren dum et ingens—adding, however, when he so speaks of it " indispensable to any historian of the war" ---"Putnam's Rebellion Record." Literally furnish ing (that Record) theraw materials of history—in the particulars of that hideous carnage, there stored up in eight ponderous volumes, numbering, each of them, seven hundred pages octavo. Better than Putnam's Record, however, though hardly more valuable as a repertory of facts, there have been at Mr. Stacke's command also for consultation— the Diary of Dr. Russell, the famous Times' correspondent —" Captain Pen," as we well remember to have dubbed him in The Sun during the Crimean war, when he was winning his spurs as a newspaper correspondent before Sebas topol—Pollard's " First and Third Year of the War"—Babney's " Life of Stonewall Jackson"— Chesney's " Campaigns of Maryland and Virginia" —Freemantle's " Gettysburg Campaign" —and so forth, through all that last voluminous addition to the annals of modern warfare. As givinc , us the epitome of all the more memorable events of the Great Four Years' Civil War in the United States so called, when those States were riven in twain—into North and South, into Federals and Confederates — the history of those terrible four years of that dreadful civil war, as it has here been penned by Henry Stacke, is as compact as Mignet's Annals of the great French Revolution, and in its way almost as enthralling. Beginning with the judicial mur der, shall we call it, of Old John Brown, it ends at a period almost immediately after the cruel assassi nation of Abraham Lincoln, that gaunt Rail split ter-turn ed President, w - -a7. Nero fin - idled while Rome was burning—was wont to crack his jokes imperturbably all through those ghastly four years of slaughter, of a slaughter so portentous in its magnitude, that it is hardly an exaggeration to speak of it as unparalleled.

IRELAND. DUBLIN, June 1 . There was some extraordinary evidence given a ; the trial of Sergeant M'Carthy by court-martia l yesterday. The Court resumed its sittings at halt" past 10 o'clock, when Constable Talbot, of t he detective department of the constabulary, was CO mined. He stated that he met the prisoner at 3 public-house on Ist of January, 1866, at Carrick' on-Suir, and that he then said his removal iron Clonmel was a great loss to the Fenian cause, as h e had the guns and all there ready to hand over the moment the work commenced ; that he had 0 false keys made for some military arms stores there , and could distribute them at any moment. He sai d that on his arrival at Carrick h e h a d l oo k e d a ge°l, deal into matters, and found there was too much talk ; to keep quiet and to keep silent, and victory was at the door. " You won't have much fighting to do, and we will do most of it for you." Belly was introduced by him as the soldier who h ad made the false keys for the military stores a‘ Clonmel. The prisoner stated that if he was long at Carrick he would have it in the same g° °d order. On the 6th of January the witness was at Clonmel with the prisoner, by appointment, with Morissy, a working " B, " and a person nam e , d Daniel, a sub-centre, and that there in Burkes publichouse in Clonmel, in company with Bomba r l dier Lowe, of the Artillery, he stated in LoWe'' presence, that here was the man who had enlist ed the 44 Fenians of whatever Artillery was then i n Clonmel ; he then invited Lowe to come some ( 131 to Carrick to see us, and Lowe promised to come ° I/ the following Wednesday. Lowe said he bad en; listed all the men he could i n th e b a tt ery , o r half battery, I think he called it, of Artillery in Clon mel, and that he could do no more. He said 41 ' he did not say for what purpose. The witness further stated that he had met the prisoner on several subsequent occasions at meetings of tb !
