Railway S Jure: were dull, and rather lower. The letters from the manufacturing district. Complain loudly of the almost indifferent manner of Lord Palmerston in his reply to Mr. Disraeli ou the River Plate question, and they go on to say that the error of one Administration ought not to be an excuse for the miserable diplomacy of another, for his Lordship had sufficient material in the Foreign -office left by his predecessor, to point out to him the only course likely to effect a settlement ; and it is much to be regretted that Lord Aberdeen was re moved from office just at the time when he would have followed up the efforts he had commenced to remedy the great error he committed in the original intervention. Aa the French Government seems desirous of acting with England in its foreign policy, a favourable opportu nity will arise for Lord Palmerston to endeavour to pre vail on the French to withdraw from the intervention in the River Plate, and this will be the only chance of re storing our trade in that quarter of the world. The continental advices appear to be of rather a favourable character today, and but for the gloomy and wet weather would have exercised a very favourable in fluence upon opinion generally in the City. The armis tice between the Austrians and Italians, and the proba bility of negotiations being renewed with Denmark, have been commented upon with expressions of high satisfaction, as being calculated to remove almost the only present danger of an European war. The state of Germany is perhups more a source of uneasiness to those who look beyond the present time, than that of any other foreign state. The accounts from abroad do not advert generally to unfavourable appearances for the harvest. In the district of Arlon, Belgium, the crops were never more abundant, and the potatoes promised well. Within the last ten years, as is stated, the growth of grain, has been tripled, and the barns this season will scarcely suffice to contain the yield. The Corn Market has advanced this morning, but there is less excitement among the dealers than, from the state of the weather, some had anticipated. The Funds bad a slightly rising tendency upon the foreign news, but the weather was sufficient to induce renewed sales, and the market is kept, as it were, in abeyance, though it is firm under circumstances. Con sols have been 851 to 861 for transfer, and 84 to 8611 for September. Exchequer-bills of June have been 255. to 28s. premium, and East India Bonds 255. to 265. premium. Bank Stock has been 198 to 199. The New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 861- and since 87. The Three per Cents are 85i to SG,{. The Foreign Stock market has been very quiet again.

IVIA-RKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) - 3% 17 346 CORN EXCHAN G During last week, up to Satur y E — ev lVl eni O ng lST , Y d. arri v als of English Wheat in t he p ort of London were seasonably the extensive. Of all other art icles of home pro du ce d imports were libera l, any grain reached us, but the forei g n re ceipts were small. From Ireland and Scotian scarcely 0 ditto o 26,182 ditto of Oats; 813 ditto of Beans; 4,7. 9 viz., 17,959 quarters of Wh eat ; 9,439 ditto of Barley ; ditto of Rapeseed; Mustard-seed ; 50 ditto Peas; 70 ditto of tares; 13,327 ditto of Linseed; 169 37 ditto of of sundry Seeds; 1,050 barrels, and 192 sacks of Flour. From Essex and Kent rather an extensive quantity of Wheat came fresh to hand this morning, coastwise as well as by land carriage; and the show of samples of both Red and White was seasonably large. The continuance, however, of heavy rains, which are calculated to inflect serious injury to the crops, and the largo attendance of both town and country millers, produced some excitement in the trade. We, therefore, have to report an advance in the quotations of 'Monday last of from 26 to fully 3s per quarter, and nearly the whole of the sam ples were taken at an early hour. There were about 200 quarters of new Wheat iu the market, 100 quarters being from Essx, the remainder from Kent; and which sold at prices varying from 55s to 60s per quarter. The quality was very indifferent. The quantity of Fo reign Wheat on show was . by no means large, and the holders demanded extravagant rates for it. The price must be called 2s to 3s per quarter higher than on this day week. Floating cargoes of Foreign W heat were taken at 44s to 46s per quarter for Polish Odessa. In Corn under lock only a moderate business was doing. Barley was in good request at an improvement in value of from Is to 2s per quarter. The transactions in foreign qualities wore large. There was a better sale for Malt, at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond. last week's currencies. The quantity ready for delivery was trilling. Selected samples of Oats were Is, other kinds 6d p er quarter dearer, with a firm demand. In Beans comparatively l i ttle was doing, but prices were well supported. Peas moved off readily at Is to 2s per quarter more money. Indian Corn and Meal were held at higher figures. Town-made Flour rose 2s per sack, and foreign parcels Is to 2s per barrel.

The numbers of home-fed Beasts were less than those exhibited on Monday last ; but there was a slight improvement in their general quality. Notwith standing the prevailing wet weather, the beef trade, as the attendance of both town and country buyers was good, was somewhat brisk, at an advance in the quota tions of fully 2d per 8133. A few very prime Scots sold at 4s 4d ; but the general top figure for beef was 4s 2d per 81bs. Previous to the close of the market nearly the whole of the Beasts had been disposed of. Although the supply of Sheep was on the decline, the sale for that description of stock was in a very sluggish state, and last week's prices were with difficulty supported. The best old Downs, which were scarce, sold at from 45 10d to 5s per 8 lbs. The Lamb trade was very heavy at Fri day's decline in value of from 4d to 6d per 8 lbs. The best Down Lambs real.sed only from 4s 10dto bs per 8 lbs. The "season" i l s now fast drawing to a close. Calves, the supply of which was limited, moved off steadily at late rates. There was scarcely any inquiry fOr Pigs, in the prices, of which, however, we have no change to notice. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 750 Scots and Short horns ; from the northern districts, 400 Short-horns ; from the western and midland counties, 800 Herefords, fonts, Devons, &c. ; and from Scotland 280 horned and polled Scots.

The prisoners were conveyed to Dublin by Special train from Thurles at half-past six, and conducted under an escort of 20 of the Thurles police to the Royal barracks. Captain Mackenzie, having seen them safely deposited in the Royal barracks, imme diately proceeded with dispatches from General Mac donald to the Vice-Regal Lodge. By the few provincial journals which reached Dublin this morning ail would appear to be per fectly tranquil in the south. There is a close chase after O'Gorman, but his capture is not likely to be effected without giving the authorities some further trouble. It would appear by the latest accounts from Lime rick and Clare that O'Gorman has not succeeded in effecting his escape. ARRESTS IN DUNDALK. The Newry Examiner of Saturday gives the fol lowing account of arrests in Dundalk : " At about half-past ten o'clock on yesterday morning Edward Mill, Esq., Sub-Inspector of Constabulary, with about eight or ten police of this town, proceeded to the Dundalk Patriot office, in Clanbrasffl-street, and imme diately after arrested the registered proprietor, Mr. James Raleigh Baxter, on a charge of High Treason,' by vir tue of a warrant from the Lord-Lieutenant which ar rived that morning, authorising Mr. Baxter's capture. Mr. Baxter happened to be in the office at the time, and being informed of the object of the police, immediately surrendered himself to Mr. Hill, and was placed in the charge of one of the constables. The police then com menced searching for papers, and after occupying them selves in this manner for about an hour and a half, conducted Mr. Baxter to the county gaol, where he now lies." _ " ARREST OF WELLINGTON SIIEGOG, ESQ.—We have been intormed on good authority that Wellington She• gog,, Esq., solicitor, of Ardee, was arrested yesterday morning at an early hour. Mr. Shegog, we believe, was a Conservative until within the last few months ; ho was in the habit of receiving the proclamations and addresses from the Repeal Association in Dublin, and having them posted up in Ardee. We have not learned the charge on which ho was arrested. " We understand that two or three persons who came over here in the steamer with Mr. Ranson (whose arrest we mentioned) were also arrested by policemen in co loured clothes, as soon as they arrived at our quay on yesterday morning."

SAGACITY OF THE 1313FRAL0.—The following in stance of courage, sagacity, and attachment in the buf falo rivals what we read in the pages which Mr. Jesse, Captain Brown, and other enthusiastic natu ralists, devote to holding up the canine species to our admiration :—ln the month of March an occurrence took place in the division Alodjokerto (residence of Sourabaya) which deserves to be brought to general notice, as a new and striking proof of the at tachment of animals towards their purveyors. The local authorities of the division have inquired into the truth of the facts mentioned below; there cannot, therefore, be the least doubt about the matter. On the 14th of March a boy eight years of age, in the Dessa Gilang, was herding some buffaloes in a wood of f e c a t e n l o y i s s h e i u z e t t d o r a e n d d b d y r a t g h g o e b d o a y w t a w y o b yo buffaloes not very distant from th e v ill age, w h en h e was unex gloeers. iAmtmtehdeiactreielys came running up, one of which attacked the tiger with such success that he released the boy and seized the buffalo above the knee joint ; on which a short fight ensued between the buffalo and the tiger, which ended in the flight of the latter. In the meantime the other buffalo had placed himself above the body of the boy, which was lying on the .ground, in such a way as to cover it entirely and to protect it against a second attack of the tiger. The people of the neigh bouring Dessa had in the meantime armed them selves and pursued and killed the tiger. The life of the boy, although he was severely wounded, by the tiger on the right thigh bone, is not yet despaired of. The peculiar attachment which the two buffaloes in this case showed towards their herd is ex plained by the circums tance that for the most part the young D atives, who take care of the pasturage of these an imals, bestow extraor dinar y attention on one or more of their flock, that they generally remain in their vi cinity, and sometimes pass a large portion of the day on their backs.—Siegapore Free Press, April 13. A COINCIDENCE. — Si nce 1789 , all the revolutions in France have taken place under Popes of the name of Pius. Louis .X.VI was dethroned under Pius VI. ; the Directory was over tur ned under Pius VI. ; Napoleon fell under Pius VII. ; Charles X. under Pius VIII. ; and Louis Philippe under Pius LX.—John Bull. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. He who would attempt once more to criticise La Fiylia del Reggimento, performed on Saturday, would most probably but reiterate what he said before. Mdlle. Lind, however, does not " repeat herself ;" transient as the changes are with which she varies the music, the dramatic interpretation, and the fioritute, they are con stant and palpable to every constant observer, and the impression they produce on the audience most striking. Hence does it ari=e that an hour before the theatre opens, at this advanced season of the year, we behold a crowd of expectant auditors stretching across the street. On Saturday particularly the concourse was immense. Such a state of things, on the -12th of August, is unprecedented in the annals of the opera, the scene of excitement being. a curiosity in itself most interesting to witness. The smallest and best portion of Online, with the Pas de Ware, was re vived for the triumph of Cerito ; whilst, for that of Rosati, the Pas de Thies was given between the acts of the opera. Thus was the quintessence, of amusement offered to the audience, and all was over at half-pest 11 ; whilst formerly to fill the House, in the best of times, it was necessary to superadd opera to opera, divertissement to ballet, forming an endless and heavy bill of fare, which surfeited and tired out all persons of taste. The troupe of her Majesty's Theatre will be dispersed in a few days. Lablaclie goes to the Festival!, Gardoni and Coletti to St. Petersburgh, where they aro engaged fur the Imperial Theatre. Jenny Lind will cross over to Dublin, with the strongest company that ever went on a tournee. She will be accompanied by Belletti, Roger, F. Leblache ; by Balfe, Piaui, Lavigne, Zeis, Remusat, Langlois, Nadaud, with a chosen chorus, &c. llis Royal Highness Prince Leopold of Naples honoured the per formances with his presence. The Queen's box was occupied by Miss Lascclles, Miss Henrietta Lascelles, and the Hon. Miss Ellis, Mr. Lascelles, Mr. Claude Las cellos, and the Hon. Mr. Ellis. The Duke of Welling ton, the Marchioness of Douro, Lord and Lady Charles Wellesley, and Lord Burghersh, were also present. Among the audience we observed his Excellency the Russian Minister, the Baroness de Brunnow, and Mdlle. Olga de Lechner ; his Excellency the Hanoverian Minister, his Excellency the Swedish Minister, the Duke of Newcastle and party, the Marquis of Donegal!, the Earl and Countess of Jersey and Lady Cleruentina Vil liers, the Countess of Tankerville, the Earl of Cardigan, Lord Ward, Lord Foley, Lord Willoughby de Eresby, Lord and Lady Carington and the Hon.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. sustainedegs G Another of the great works promised in the pro gramme was performed on Saturday night, though we regret s o h e s a m y o w s i t t h e I n ith o o r v a e t r e y m an d a r t k h e e d m s o u s e t e ug o li p e/ e nt ra o of the fecund and brilliant Rossini, but though much that it contains entitles him to rank with the foremost writers of the lyrical drama, its great length and want of domestic individual interest render it somewhat heavy and lugubrious ; and yet it is studded with charming and original melody, the use of the choral and instrumental forces are dramatically effective and mu sically skilful, and the eouleur locale with which it is in stinct proves the hand of a great master in his art. As is the case with Meyerbeer's opera of Les Huguenots, the excellence lies in the dexterous management of the. orchestra and chorus—the•masses of harmonic sounds are made to reflect the several interests and passions of multitudes in political antagonism, each expressing in antiphonal grandeur their conflicting emotions. It is difficult to excite the interest of a large auditory by the exhibition of acts of patriotic heroism rendered lyrically. Such subjects rather befit the province of lofty tragedy, or the pen of the historian. The peculiar event which gives immortality to the hero may be ex pressed by a single line of poetry, or conveyed by a felicitous turn of the historian; but the musical com poser is forced to colour and elaborate, and during this process the power and the moral value of the deed or deeds evaporate. The principal defect in tlae libretto is the utter absence of female interest, and it may be ob served, en passant, that no work written for the stage, whether dramatioal or lyrical, whatever its other merit, has ever achieved an abiding popularity when this inte rest has been wanting. Guglielmo Tell is, as we have stated above, the greatest work of Rossini; in this he has laboured conscientiously; there are no puerilities; the poetic sentiment is exquisitely reflected in the music, and all the manifold powers of science are united with his melodic atiluenee. The entire second act is of the highest genius; it is full of admirable . variety. There are passion, power, invention, and learning. We have the huntsmen'a chorus, and the shepherd's lay, the charming song of Matilde, " Selva opaca, deserta brughiera," the beautiful duet for Arnold and Matilde, Rtedi al campo della gloria," the world-famous trio, " La gloria inflammo e nostri petti," and, finally, the overwhelming meeting of the cantons, a scene unpa ralleled for dramatic truthfulness, and lyrical power. The closing movement of this was encored with enthu siasm, and was the single instance of a redemand in the entire opera. M. Roger, who enacted Arnold°, seemed to labour under considerable vocal debility:although his acting evinced no lack of energy. The " Suivez-moi," in which Duprey was wont to electrify his audience, failed from the want at the necessary physical power. Madame Castellan's Matilde was charmingly sung and gently acted. Tamburini, as the Swiss Patriot, failed utterly to convey, either vocally or dramatically, the faintest idea of the character. His voice was lamentably weak, and his acting iu the groat scene in which occurs the shooting the apple from the head of his child had neither passion, pathos, nor intensity. Mdlle. Corbari, as Jenny, sang nicely, but her embonpoint destroyed the requisite illusion. The choruses were vigorously given, but wanted light and shade. The mist en scene, though upon the broadest scale of liberality, required artistic care in the groupings —the melees between the troops of Gesler and the mountain peasantry were sadly gro tesque. The overture was encored, and M. Roger and Madame Castellan were called before the curtain at the termination of the opera. Beethoven's mighty opera of Fiddle will be forthwith produced, with Madame Pauline Viardot in the character of Leonore. Her Majesty's box was occupied by the Earl and Countess Fortescue, Lord and Lady Wharncliffa, Sir Thomas Marrable, Miss Geale, Miss Mackenzie, and Mr. Rich.

THE STATE TRIALS. DUBLIN COMMISSION COURT.—FRIDAY, Arc. 11. THE QUEEN V. O'DORERTY. The Court sat at ten o'clock. Tho names of the jurors were called over. The prisoner, Kevin Izod O'Doherty was placed at the bar, and his trial was resumed. Mr. Burr, on the part of the prisonor, called the attention of the:Court to the fact that two distinct offences were charged in the indictment, expressed in separate sets of counts, and submitted that the Crown should make its election as to which of the charges they should proceed upon. The ATTORNEY •GENERAL — The application is one that was discussed on a former occasion, and the answer then given was, that although it was perfectly plain that two different intents were charged, yet the act growing 1318. out of the intents is the same. The Court ruled in favour of the Crown. Mr. BUTT then proceeded to address the jury on the part of the prisoner. Having reminded them of the momentous duty they had to perform, he begged to call their attention to the precise offence they had to try. Unless they could, upon their oaths, beyond a reason able doubt, say that the prisoner at the bar was guilty of the precise offence in the indictment, they could not find a verdict to that effect. Ile could not say those writings were not seditious, and if the Attorney-General bad instituted a prosecution against the prisoner at the bar for sedition, and if the jury believed him to be the writer or publisher of the articles read to them, he admitted they ought to find him guilty. But this was not a prosecution for sedition, this was a prosecution under a penal Act of Parliament. It was not, however, an Act for making sedition felony, though it was an Act which, in the bands of a weak jury, might be made the instrument of grievous op pression ; but with fair and intelligent jurors to administer it, there was nothing in the Act to which the most ardent lover of liberty could object. lie called attention to the charges in the indict ment, and the evidence offered in support of them, which was to be drawn from the publications themselves. But even if the jury believed he wrote all those articles without having in his mind the settled treasonable mo tives imputed to him, they could not find him guilty. Let them look to the evidence adduced to sustain the charge against the prisoner, and what did it show? It merely uppeared that those writings were published in a news paper of which the prisoner was proprietor, but did it appear that they were written by him, or that he ex pressed his own intections, or uttered them in that pub lication ? It was true the publication of the writings of another, if those writings were seditious, would be also sedition, but could they draw from the fact that he pub lished the writings of another the inference beyond rea sona,de doubt that he expressed, uttered, and declared an intention existing in his own mind. Was there, he asked, a particle of evidence offered to the jury to show them that this gentleman ever took part in the publica tion of the Tribune, except the part he was bound to take as its proprietor. In fact, ho was surprised that the Crown had closed their evidence without going further. On a former trial they had produced the manuscripts. ATTORNEY-GENERAL—No, that is not the case. Mr. Burr—ln the former case to which he referred, the prisoner (Mr. Mitchel) was prosecuted for a letter signed " John Mitchel," and a speech made by him, and they produced a witness to prove he made the speech. And what was peculiar in this case was, that all the manu scripts in the Tribune office were seized by the Crown; they had given notice to the Crown Solicitor to produce those manuscripts on the trial, and if they were produced the jury would find them varying in handwriting, and differing in style; and he defied the Attorney-General to prove that they were in the handwriting of his client. Let the Solicitor-General in reply deal with the case as he would, no argument or assertion could change this broad and staring fact, that they were called upon to find his client guilty on this indictment merely because he was the proprietor of a newspaper. He admitted that the object of the articles was to familiarize the Irish people with the use of arms, but it went no further, and when, by a former Administration an attempt was made to prevent the Irish people from having the indiscrimi nate use of arms, did they recollect the indignant elo quence that rolled from the Whig benches against the, proposition, and did t h ey remem b er that it was sa id b y a * member of the party at present in power, that it was their right to possess arms; but now, an attempt was made to brand his client with the name of felon, because he expressed a similar opinion. No evidence was given for the prisoner. The SOLICITOR-GENERLL replied on the part of the Crown. With respect to the able address of the counsel for the prisoner, he would say that, with very few ex ceptions, there was very little difference between them respecting the construction of the Act of Parliament and the application of the evidence to sustain the charge con tained in the indictment. It was charged in the indict ment that it was the intent of the prisoner to depose the Queen from the style, title, and royal name of the Impe rial Crown ; bat it does not necessarily follow that his intention was to depose the Queen from her throne. The intent was to separate one part of the empire from the rest, and detach it from the Crown; and if it appeared to the jury that it was the intention of the prisoner to alter the government of this portion of the empire, or to sever it from the rest of the empire, they should find him guilty of the offence charged by the indictment. Then what was the second charge which his Learned Friend, in defence of his client, had to a certain degree attempted to mystify ? The second charge was that ho compassed, intended, imagined, and contemplated the levying of war within this portion of the realm, with a view to compel the Sovereign to change her measures and councils. The intention of levying war could not be denied; and he asked the jury for what, purpose war was to be levied? Was it to compel the Queen to persevere in her mea• sures and councils? Was it to co-operate with the Queen and the Government of Ireland to carry out the mea sures of the Queen, or of her Viceroy in this portion of the realm? lie called attention to the articles published by the prisoner, and particularly to a passage to the effect that the leaders of the Confederation were standing by with folded arms, in deference to the imbecile cowards on Burgh-quay. These persons in their closets, where those articles were written, and by the writing of which they earned a livelihood, were safe from the perils they provoked others to encounter, and would escape the consequences, if they were not liable to punishment for writing or publishing those articles. Of the two, he considered the man who, from his place of safety, incited and encouraged others to engage in perilous and criminal enterprises, encountering all the dangers of civil war, was more culpable and deserving of punishment than the unfortunate man who, yielding to exciting stimulants to take the field, exposed his life either in battle or on the scaffold. But this was all an affair of the 'ocket. The object was to procure an extended circulation for his paper, and no matter how brutalising those articles might be, they were issued from the press, and it was left to the good taste or good feeling of the law to sup press such publications. Baron PENNEFITIIER charged the jury. He called attention to a statement made by prisoner's Counsel — that they had served notice on the Crown to produce the manuscripts found in the Tribune-office, and re marked that no evidence was given of the service of that notice, nor had any call been made in Court to produce the manuscript, for the purpose of showing that the pri sonerd was not the author of those publications. lie thatid not understand the Counsel of the prisoner to a h r e gue the prisoner had not a criminal intent, but under stood him to say that ho had not the intent the indictment; he agreed with the Learnedviet theprisoner the prisoner that the jury could noethcsodn Counsel charged furn that intent, and unless it appeared to them that h It appeared to him expressed it by this publication. that the publications in some degrseeaeadt the maintenance of' both intenti9n ,lethasetrewfoernet, to was fit for him to mention the intentios chargei to the jury, and then refer to the publications to enable them to form anfoninion as to what intention this person had. If they considered the prisoner's object seas-to excite rebellion and war, they would see if they could draw from those publications what the object or objects of that war must have been. ,Was it in , tended by' that war to dissolve the union with Great Britain ? to take. from the Queen her royal style and name of Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland ? Was it to erect Ireland into a separate and independent state, unconnected with any other in the world ? If such were the intention he was bound to tell them it was un intention within the purvivu of the Act of Parliament. With respect to the intention of levying war, if that war were levied to prevent the ex port of provisions from this country, could that object be attained without an alteration of the measures of the Sovereign ? If that alteration was to be obtained by force or war, it would fall within the charge in the in dictment. With respect to levying war against the Queen for the purpo•e of forcing her to change her measures, it was totally itninwerial in the consideration of the question whether war ensued or not, or even that the attempt was wade and proved abortive, if the intention was conceived by the prisoner, and if he manifested that intention by the publications given in evidence. They had heard of the insurrection that had taken place, and of the manner in which it terminated. They heard of the misery that would en sue if it proceeded further, and of the certain portion of misery that did ensue in consequence of its being car - ried fo far ; but all these were mutters entirely beside tie question they had to try. They had merely to con sider whether the prisoner had the intentions alleged, and whether he had declared and published them in the paper in question. The jury would read those papers dispassionately, and form their opinion upon them calmly, justly, and deliberately—Fiat justitia ruat calm. Mr. BUTT—I understood you to say, my Lord, that I admitted the prisoner had the intent imputed ; but I merely meant the articles. Baron PENNEFATIIER—You are quite right, and I never intended to convey anything else. FOREMAN—Can we get the Act of Parliament. Baron PENNEFATITER—No, in a case before Lord Tenterden it was ruled, that it was not proper to send up an Act of Parliament to a jury, but the court would state the substance of it to them. Mr. LONGLEY (Crown Council)—They have the in dictment, my Lord, and the very words are in it. The jury retired at a quarter-past three o'clock, and at four o'clock they again appeared in the jury-box. FOREMAN —The jury are anxious to inquire if the publishing of the articles in the paper would render the prisoner guilty under the Felony Act, just as much as if ho had written the articles himself ? Baron PENNEIATHER —The fact of his being regis tered proprietor is primti facie evidence against him; it may be rebutted, but in this case it has not been re butted. The jury again retired. At half-past five oclock, the jury again came into Court. Clerk of the CROWN—Have you agreed to your ver dict? Foreman—No. I don't think there is the slightest chance of our agreeing. Some of the gentlemen seem to have a difficulty about primii facie evidence. They don't seem to understand what your Lordship said about it. Baron PENNEFA'THER.—If the indictment was for publishing this newspaper I would be bound to tell you that the declaration reade by the prisoner in the Stamp office on the 15th of June was conclusive evidence of his being the proprietor and publisher of that paper. But the indictment is not per se for publishing this newspaper. It charges him with making the publication with the intention of deposing the Queen from her royal style of Queen of the United Kingdom. So to find out his intention you must be of opinion that ho knew the contents of the papers published, and he had an oppor tunity of showing his innocence. Ile is conclusively shown to be proprietor and publisher, but the ques tion is whether he knew the contents of what was published. That is necessary to fasten upon him an intention to depose the Queen and deprive her of her royal name. A juror—Some of the jurors not knowing the mean ing of prima facie, wish to know whether your Lordship meant to convey that prima facie evidence was suffi cient to convict the party under the Felony Act. There is a difference of opinio❑ amongst us on that point. Some of the jurors hold that your Lordship stated that if there was prime► facie evidence of the prisoner's guilt, we should at once find him guilty; others attach a different meaning to the phrase, and we wish to have your Lordship's opinion. Baron PENNEFATDER—I did not mean, gentlemen, to direct you, or to tell you, that in point of law, because he was proprietor and publisher of the paper, he neces sarily knew its contents. But I told you it was evidence that he did know the contents, and thatyou were to form your judgment on the whole of the case, reading the documents and the other evidence, namely, his signing this document in the stamp-office; and you are to see whether you are satisfied that he was not only the pro • prietor and publisher, but that he knew the contents. The knowledge of the contents is necessary, as appears to me, to enable you to form an opinion as to whether he did intend to deprive the Sovereign of her style and dignity. A consultation took place between the jury in their jury -box, and it was again announced by a juror that they could not agree. Baron PENNEFATRER—You must retire, gentleman. I cannot discharge you at present. A juror—There is no chance of agreeing. The jury retired, and bailiff's were placed over them. At ten o'clock the jury were again called in. Clerk of the Court—Gentlemen, have you agreed ? Foreman—No, and there is not the slightest chance of our agreeing. The jury were then locked up for the night. Dennis Hoban, printer of the Tribune, was arraigned for printing certain seditious articles in that paper. The prisoner submitted and handed in an affidavit in mitigation. Testimony was produced as to his character, and it was stated that his politics differed from the views advocated in the Tribune, and that he merely undertook to print the paper as a matter of business. The Arroateuv-GENERAL left the matter to the Court. Ile would not say a word which could lead to the sup position that any excuse would tend to mitigate the charge made against the prisoner. Baron PRNNEFITHER—Our feeling is, that we cannot hold that a person who, even incautiously, allows his name to bo made use of for such a purpose, is entirely free from blame. The COURT promised to consider the matter. MORE BILLS. ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I have to apply to your lord ships not to dischare the city grand jury to-day. I have a few other bills to send up. SATURDAY. The Court eat at half-past ten o'clock. At a quarter to eleven o'clock the jury appeared in their box. Clerk of the Crown—Have you agreed to your verdict? Foreman—No; nor is there the least chance of it. Baron PENNEFATHER—Under tho circumstances, Mr. Attorney, it does not appear to the Court that we should endanger the lives or health of the jurors by keeping them any longer. ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I haven° possible desire that they should be kept any longer than is necessary. Baron PENNEFATHER—The jury cannot endure this kind of ordeal beyond a certain time, and we cannot subject gentlemen who have come here to discharge an onerous duty to dangers affecting their lives or health. ATTORNEY-GENERAL—One of the gentlemen does really appear ill. Juror—l am about sixty years of age, and I might ex pect to be allowed to retire. The ju•y was then discharged, on the grounds as set forth on the record, "That further confinement would be dangerous to their health and lives." The prisoner was conveyed back to Newgate.l THE QUEEN V. THOMAS DE lIRTLX.Y. Clerk of the Crown—Crier, call Thomas Deein Reilly. The Crier called Mr. O'Reilly, and repeated the call outside the court; but there was no answer. Charles Henry West and Michael O'Reilly (Thomas 1). Reilly's bail) wore called upon to produce his body, or forfeit their recognizances. Sir CoLmax O'LoommEN—lt was impossible for Mr. West to take any stops to bring in the body of Thomas Devin Reilly, because Le is in custody himself under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act, and cannot take him into custody. Baron PENNEFATITER — But the party has been dis• shied by his own act. THE QUEEN V. J. P. TITZPITRICK. The defendant was charged with carrying a pike be tween two and three o'clock in the morning, and after wards denying he had it. The party , did not attend; his recognizances were entreated, and a Bench warrant issued for his apprehension. Some persons charged with having arms in their pos session, submitted, and were sentenced to a day's impri soement. TRUE BILLS AGAINST THE PRINTER OF THE " FELON" NEWSPAPER. True bills were found against Mr. Shaw, the printer of the Felon newspaper. Foreman of the Grand Jury—We have disposed of all the bills before us, and perhaps you will dis charge us ? CHIEF BARON—For this day, gentlemen, you may retire, but we require your attendance on Monday. Baron PENNEFA.THER—We hope to discharge you on Monday. , m -----.=-- -- The mercantile letters from Hamburgh received this morning express a strong conviction that the blockade of the Elbe, alt h oug h a nnounced for the 15 th , will not take place. A report was current that on the sth inst. two couriers from Frankfort had passed through the city, one to General Wrangel with orders to sign the armistice, and one to Copenhagen to inform the Ministry with the fact of such instructions having been given ; and this having met with credence, the funds have been steadily improving for two or three days. The quantity of bills upon London received from Vienna, and the quent ten. in crease of those drawn against corn in consequence of the rainy weather, had driven the rate of exchange down to Hugh Cone, 13.6 i for three months' paper.

This is perhaps the most interesting numbet r of . 7",7; t 77„:2 - 7:.;;•V Bentley that has yet appeared. It c on t a i ns th e m ce mencement of "El Buscapie," a long lost work Cervantes, the manuscript of which has been recently discovered in Cadiz, under circumstances which leave no doubt as to its genuineness. Indeed, it is impos- • ' sible to read half a page of the admirable transl a ti on . ,IN:41"4. by Miss Thomasina Ross without at once recognising the style, and manner,and satire of Cervantes. There is. another paper also of melancholy interest, viz., a post humous unfinished work by poor T. 11. Sealy, the most pleasant of magazine writers, on whom the mantle of Charles Lamb seemed to have fallen. We regret to hear that he died in a state bordering on destitution, and that he has left three young children doubly orphaned (their mother died some short time before their father) to struggle as they may with the world ; the eldest is only nine years of age. Surely this is a case calling for a public subscription, if ever there was such a case in the world. Among the new contributions to Bentley we notice what we imagine to be the commencement of a series, entitled " Way side Pictures through France, Belgium, and Ger many." The sketcher is a master of his craft, and dashes off his sketches with infinite spirit. Take, as an example, the following sketch of Havre : " Havre has a terrible air of business. You feel this at once. -The moment you land you are coiled up in ropes and casks and mucks and porters and cranes nd the hustle of the Custom-house. The life of Havre is on its quays and its docks. There is no relief or es cape from the din and clatter. If you attempt to get into the streets, it is still the same thing. Thu Custom? house and the port pursue you wherever you move. The docks stretch up into the centre of the whole, to the re: sidences, and even to the country-houses of the mer chants, whose affairs are thus brought literally to their very doors. This eternal presence of the machinery of business thrust into the windows of domestic life cannot make a trade, but what wonderful facilities it offers to a trade in progress, or already made. " There never was anything so preposterous as to build fortified walls round such a town, which is not only a sea-pert of great traffic, but the greatest sea-port—the Liverpool—of France. The error has been gradually rectifying itself, as might have been expected, practical necessity rebuking the short-sightedness of old theoriei. As the population increased, and encamped in the open country, carrying out the town beyond its prescribed limits, the walls have been taken down, and the enclo sure enlarged. Brit the new walls are as great an impe diment as the old, and have been again in the same manner out-grown by the population. Here, then, is a great commercial city, with its heart shut in by a waste circumjacent ring, irhilst its members are cast sprawling outside. To build a wall round a place of business, whose gates are jealously closed and sentinelled at a certain hour every night, and to say to commerce, Thus far shalt thou come, and no farther,' might have answered the purpose in an age when storehouses were little better than depots for stolen goods ; but in this age, when we are loosening the totters of industry, and cultivating freedom of intercourse over the cisilized world, such a restriction is not only absurd but must uls timately prove to be impracticable. These fortifications and the mercantile spirit they enclose are antagonist principles, and cannot subsist together. The Govern ment of France might. as well issue an edict to stop all the clocks and watches in the kingdom at a particular moment every day for the purpose of regulating the sun as build fortifications to restrain the free action sof indua try. All such hindrances must vanish as knowledge makes head against ignorance, and discovers to us surer safeguards than bastions or dykes. The passport sys tem is a similar contradiction to the spirit of the age, and cannot, even as a source of revenue, continue to co exist with railroads and steam•packets." The other articles are admirable, and as illustrations we have portraits of Sir E. Bulwer Lytton and of Chateaubriand, and a quaint sketch of Leech, illus trating a quaint story by Horace Mayhew concerning "a most unfeeling and cowardly assault." FRASEI?. Under the head of "Republican Literature" we find in the Ftaser of this month a masterly analysis of the correspondence of Louis Philippe and M. Guizot on the affair of the Spanish marriages, and, as might have been expected, complete proofs of the guilt of Louis Philippe and of M. Guizot in counselling and advising, and of Christina and of Bresson, in employing violence to force the unfortunate young Queen Isabella to a marriage that was hateful to her, with a man of whom M. Bresson himself says, in his correspond ence with M. Guizot, "qu'il etait douteux si le jeune mart fut hotnnze." The reports of the scenes of violence which took place in the Palace of Madrid to coerce the Queen, reports at the time indignantly contradicted by M. Guizot's scribes in the Journal' des De6ats, and by 11. Guizot himself in the tribune, were perfectly true. We have here the proofs under M. Bresson's own hand. He says, speaking of the young Queen, "it would not do to tighten the cord any longer, and run the risk of pushing her entirely into the arms of our adversaries, and my sulkiness, say rudeness, and my threats, had produced their proper effect, and I now returned to my natural character ;' and M. Guizot, with that coolness which nothing but long practice in the utterance of falsehood could give, actually in the tribune before the Peers and the Deputies of • France, ventured to state that those reports about the rudeness and threats , of M. Bresson were entirely without foundation, he haying in his possession this very letter from which we have quoted, and this is the man with whom the gentlemen of England think it no shame to associate, and whom the magnates of one of our universities would have appointed to indoctrinate the minds of the ingenuous youth of England with his own peculiar views of truth and falsehood as a Professor of History. The writer thus sums up the crimes of . Louis Philippe and his Minisber : " The lists of the persons on whore the secret-service was bestowed comprise names which it would be in vidious to quote, but the consequence of all this gaz pillage was the total sacrifice of the morale of the nation —the country lost all confidence in its public men; they possessed the notion that their own great interests was sacrificed to petty personal motives, to vain ambitions, and the most selfish egotism. How has this opinion been justified ? " It has been justified by the whole history of France si or n ie ce ha l n B d 3O ; laid fr u o p m on th th a e t C da h y w arte h r en and Lo t u h i e s o P t h h i e li r p u pe, pon w h it i h s heart, swore to maintain those liberties which he was the first to violate ; from that day when he read the abdication of Charles X., but suppressed the paragraph by which he declared that ho abdicated in favour of his grandson. It has 'been justified by the rotes of those Chambers wherein two-thirds were placemen ; by the mockery or a constitution which bestowed the elective franchise on 500,000 electors, while the patronage of the Crown numbered upwards of 700,000 places ; by the entire rupture of all union between the Church and the State, when the first act of the new Chamber in 1330 was to declare all religions to be equally good, and all equally worthy of State support. It has been justified by thu records of dark and tearful crimes, committed in high places and associated with families of the proudest illustration, justified by the names of Teste, Beauvalion, Praslin, and even of Lestard ; by the evidences of hor rible iniquities, which would make the basest turn pale; and if it be true—as indeed it must be—that the con sequences of our actions never die, what effect must this calendar of national guilt have had upon the masses of the people ? And, lastly, this want of confidence has been justified by the total abandonment of all those principles of public morality and political faith whioh brought men into power, and now justified more than ever by the conduct of the magnates, the great princes, the great nobles of this nation, who having accepted their master's bounty and broken bread at his table, were the first to desert him in the hour of tribulation and swear a fresh allegiance, imitating the degraded senate of Rome on the advent of Tiberius. 'At Rom* ruere in servitium, Consules, Patres, Eques. Quango quis inlustrior, tanto maxis falai ac festinantes.' Ann. i. 7.)" The amusing " Autobiography of the Young French Widow" is concluded, as are the amusing and instruc. tive papers of the " Naturalist in Norway." " Leaves from the Life of a Princess" is an Eastern tale of love, jealousy, and vengeance; we recommend it to the perusal of all those who like tales of horror. Lancelot Smith continues his " Yeast," and we have the usual chapters of contemporary history, besides reviews of Weld's "History of the Royal Society," and of a batch of religious _novels, .I.tomiinist, Puseyite, g and Evangelical. Lo; GAVARNI IN LONDON. " Marriage in High Life," " The Lounger in Regent•street," and " Greenwich Fair," are the sub jects of Part V. of Gavarni in Londot. They are all admirable, but of the three the last is the best. Albert Smith's pen-and-ink description of the fair is excellent. THE IRON TRADE.—DUDLEY, FRIDAY.--It will be recollected that in consequence of the reduction of the price of iron proposed at the preliminary meeting held at Stewponey, a reduction of the wages of the men to the amount of twenty per cent. was deemed ne cessary, In many instances this reduction was acceded to, in others it was opposed; but we are happy tolstate that a mutual consideration for each other's interests ap pears now to be the governing motive by which a 'great portion of both masters and men are influenced. In the district south of this town it is agreed, that in consequence of the improved state of the iron trade, the reduction of wages shall be only eight instead of twenty per cent. Yesterday her Majesty Queen Adelaide completed her 56th year, when the bells of the parish church of St. Martin's-in-the -Fields, and St. Margaret's Westminster, ushered in the morning with merry peallyand-displayed the royal stand ar d f rom th e i r s t ee ples in honour of the event.
