The principles of the Hygelan theory are contained in the follow lug propositions :- 1. The ♦ital principle is contained in the blood. 2. Everything in the body is derived from the blood. S. All constitutions are radically the same. 4. All diseases arise from the impurity of the blood, or, in other words, from acrimonious humours lodged in the body. 5. This humour, which degenerates the blood, has three sources —the maternine, the contagious, and the personal. 6. Disease and pain have the same origin, and may therefore be considered synonymous terms. 7. Purgation by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effectual mode of eradicating disease. S. Experience of upwards of twenty years has amply proved MO RISON'S VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINE to be such proper vegetable purgative. 9. From the intimate connexion subsisting b e tween the mind and body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the other. BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMAT I C PILLS. Copy of a letter from Mr. J.

" SlR.,—llaving suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benttit from this best medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Fills. When i commenced taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, aid awoke in the morning comparatively free from pain ; and before I had finished the box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely removed the gout, but have also ♦ery much improved my general health I have since recommended them to four individuals, who have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and ti . ey all speak highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully. " J. J. WILSON."

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, kc. Marriage reqaires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused . the prolific source of riischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, en the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the tellies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequenceis, unwisely entertains a tear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneoasly entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of iisease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the .tiedical man who can show by his posse:eon of the requisite legal qualifications that he is eatitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'StERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, at the King's Arms, on the banks of the Surrey-canal, Camberwell, on the body of a female child, which had no doubt, been murdered and thrown into the canal. A lad, named Wengrove, sated that on Wednesday last, about dinner time, he was passing along the banks of the Surrey Canal, near the bridge, when he observed a large bundle floating on the water. lie had a dog with him, which he sent in, and the animal swam with it to the shore. Be could then see the head of a child in it, and being alarmed, called to a woman, who opened it, and discovered it contained the body of a child, which was taken to the above house. The jury returned a verdict " that the child was found dead, but that they had no evidence to show whether it was born alive or not." Dr. Hampden, Bishop of Hereford, has appointed the Rev. William Hayward Cox, 8.D., Rector of St. Martin's, Oxford, and Vice-President of St. Mary's Hall, in the University of Oxford, and the Rev. George Clark, M.A., Vicar of Cantley, Yorkshire, to be his Lordship's Examining Chaplains. Nature does not stop to lament over any single victim of human society. When misery is the deepest, there is something awful in this perpetual and smiling round of natural movements. It teaches profoundly the insignificance of the atoms of creation, THE STATE TRIALS• TRIAL OF MESSRS. WM. S. O'BRIEN, M.P., T. F. MEAGHER, AND JOHN MITCHELL, FOR SEDITION. Dinauti, SATURDAY.—This being the first day of Easter term, and the opening of the State prosecution against Messrs. O'Brien, Mitchell, and Meagher, con siderable excitement prevailed in the ball of the Four Courts, and the immediate locality of the courts, for some time before the ordinary period for commencing business. In a few minutes after the door of the Queen's Bench was opened, the junior b%r, the solicitors' and reporters' seats, and the parts of the building appropriated to the public, were completely occupied. At twelve o'clock the lion. Justice Crampton entered the court, and the grand jury was sworn. Mr. Justice CRAMPTON proceeded to address them in the following terms:—Mr. Foreman and Gentlemen of the Grand Jury of the city of Dublin, —The recu rrence of the presenting term has once more assemble d y ou in that box, and devolved on yo u th e very i m portant office of grand jurors. You are aware, gentlem en, that your duties aro of a twofold character — civ il and criminal. In the discharg e of your civil duties you have to make pre se ntment for the various public establishments of the city w hi c h are sup ported by grand jury cess—to superintend a c h e ck the expenditure of the public money, and to disc har g e the various other important functions connected with that part of your duty. Into the details of those matters I will not go. Your experience as grand juror s, and the ed addresses 3ou have often heard from my venerated pre decessor, render it quite unnecessary that I should do so. Should any legal difficulty arise, however, in the discharge of your duties, the Court will be ready to afford you every assistance in its power. One general observation I may make upon this part of your duty. While you will liberally provide for the proper main tenance of the various establishments, you will also, as guardians of the public purse, wisely economise the funds entrusted to your administration. Gentlemen, another and not less important province of your duty will be the consideration of such bills of indictment as shall be submitted to you by the Clerk of the Crown ; and as this part of your duty is not very frequently—as you are not very frequently called upon to discharge this :part of your duty in this court, it may not be unseasonable for me to make some suggestions as to the manner in which this part of your duty should be discharged. lam informed that it is intended on the part of the Crown to prefer bills of indictment against certain parties who are charged with seditious practices, tending to disturb the public peace. If this be so, gentlemen, it will be your duty to give your calmest consideration to such bills; and if you are satisfied by the evidence laid before you that they are true bills, you will find them so to be; but if you are not satisfied with the evidence you will say "No bill." Gentlemen, I cannot enter into any detail of the particular cases that may be submitted to you. I have neither the wish nor the materials to enable me to do so. But I shall state to you generally, for your guidance, the nature of the charges likely to be preferred—the law applicable to them—and the proofs necessary to sustain them. The bills of indictment likely to be submitted to you, will, I understand, contain certain charges for the publication of seditious libels, and the speaking of seditious words. I refer here not to mere private libels or slanders upon individuals. These, though they may be the subject of criminal prosecution or action, are looked upon more in the light of private injury than of a public offence. But the matters to be brought before you involve a grave offence—an offence against the State—an offence that comes under the general head of sedition. The term sedition is a comprehensive term, and it serves to include all those attempts to disturb the public peace which come short of high treason, but the natural tendency of which is to incite to insurrection and rebellion against the Crown and Government. From the earliest period of our law sedition has been held to include high treason ; but though often closely allied to that highest of crimes, and always tending towards it, sedition is now held only as a misdemeanour, and punishable only with fine and im prisonment. It is a high misdemeanour, a grave offence— tor its tendency and object are to incite opposition to the law and Government—to bring the administration of justice and the sovereign authority into con tempt—to excite discontent and disaffection among the people—to create public disturbance, tumult, and civil war, with all their pernicious consequences. In short, sedition is disloyalty in action—a species of civil mutiny, or rising up against the sovereign power and the state. Gentlemen, you are aware there can be no indictment for sedition in the abstract, any more than for high treason or misdemeanour generally. For the purpose of the charge a seditious spirit must be evidenced by overt acts, by doings, by writings, or by words. I will not here speak of seditious doings as contradistin. guished from seditious writings or speakings, because it is probable your consideration will be confined to sedi tious writings and speakings ; and though these may appear to terminate in words they are often more dan gerous than the musket or the sword. For an armed indidual can do but individual injury, but a seditious speech, and, above all, a seditious pre ss, may stir up thousands and tens of thou san d s to combine for the destruction of property. In such writings and speeches liberty is; made the pretext, and the weak-minded and ignorant are deluded to believe that they are the slaves of a foreign power, and that their freedom can be achieved only by trampli ng upon th e law of the land , and subverting the Gov ernment o f t h e country. These preachers of sedition forget that there is no part of the world—l say it emphatically—there is no part of the world in which civil liberty exists to the same degree as under the shelter of the British monarchy; that in no other country would such writings and speeches be tolerated as remain u n p un i s h e d w i t h us. The subjects of the British empire, all submitting to the sovereignty of the law, are free rom individual dominion. Liberty of speech and writing, and liberty of action, are the birthright equally of every subject of the Un ited King dom; but the liberty, as secured to us by so verei g n law, is regulated by the same l aws, an d has its necessary limits. In our free country no censors hip on the press or on the tongue exi s t s . E very m an is free t o write and free to speak as h e i s f ree to act; b u t ho is as respon sible to the laws for w h at h e wr i tes an d speaks as he is for what he does. Il e i s f ree, b ut h o must not use h i s, liberty as a cloak for se di t i on. H e s h a ll not, under the pretext of exercising his own rights, violate th e le g al rights of others. Ab ove a ll , h e must not presume to insult the Sovereign or her Goverrment, under the security of that constitution which is the protector of his, own person and of his own property. If he does so,' gentlemen, he is a traitor to the law, and he must answer it. Gentlemen, private libels are redressed by private remedies. Political libels are those which form the sub ject-matter of that sedition I have spoken of ; and, gentlemen, while political writings or speeches are con fined within their legal limits, they are not only allow able, they are not only justifiable, but they are e ntitled to respect and praise. A man may lawfully and bene ficially discuss and criticise the measures adopted by the Queen and her Ministers, provided he does so fairly, temperately, and with respect, without imputing to them corrupt or improper motives ; within the same limit a man may lawfully comment on the laws and constitution. of the realm, the acts and proceedings of the Houses of Parliament, of the courts of justice, and the a drninistra- . tion of the laws, and this he may do in our free country' freely and boldly. Our law will not permit any narrow or strained construction to be put on his writings or words, nor hold him accountable for hasty or intemperate ex pressions. In these discussions, or the ability of his own eloquence, the utmost lattitude is allowed him to exercise his judgment; but if he advisedly pass the limits of free discussion—if he wilfully. trespass beyond the bounds, then it is the seditious spirit is manifested; and thus it is, gentlemen, and this is the material subject for your consideration—if, from the whole scope and tenor of these speeches and writings—if, from the whole scope and tenor it appears that their object and tendency are to alienate the affection of the people from the Sovereign or the Government—to teach them that they are en slaved or oppressed by England, or the English Govern ment—to sow dissension between different portions or classes of the Queen's subjects —to bring the adminis tration of justice into disrepute —to stimulate the people e in the or d d i e o r aff t e o ete i d nti t m o i p d a r o t e . to procure by force of arms changes in the law and government of the country— tamper the . fidelity aid of foreign powers spins the lawful authority of of the Queen's peace-officers country—to soldiers --to invoke the the State—to encourage multitudinous meetings for the Government — cure arms, and practise the use of arms, for the civil war against the Government, or t o purpose of the display of phytosiceaolcofourretieg excite to tumult or rebellion —all and every such speeches are clearly sedition; all and every such writings are clearly seditious libels; they come immediately within the category of sedition, and are closely allied to high treason. Gentlemen, I do not mean here to enumerate all the clauses of such words or writings which may be used for the purpose I have stated; but I have mentioned enough to describe their general character, an d to w i t h the which will be made the subject of your inquiry . I enable you to deal w bills.k now, gentlemen, ,there are some who disapprove of all the prosecutions, and espe cially of what are called state prosecutions; that there are some who exhibit a morbid feeling towards offenders and are comparatively careless about the saf e ty o f in dividuals or the public, and that such persons are dis posed to look with an especially indulgent eye upon what are called polit ical offences, as if an offenc e or crime lost its effect by having the whole public for its object. But I own I cannot sympa thise with such phi lanthro p ists, as th ey may call themselves. I cann ot but view hi gh treason as the greatest and most da n g erous of all offences that can be committed against humanlaws, as laws, involving , it does, every other crime connected with violence and blood. I cannot but view also seditious atte mpts to stimulate the multitude into in surrection as a n offence of the gravest character. The motive for such offences my not be traitorous; it may be merel y selfish; it may ma e y a desire for low popularity, or a love of notoriety, at the expense of deg radation. The sedition even uttered i may be but the effusion of a heated imagination effects of a mischievous restlessness of mind ; but or The what ever the motive, be it more or less culpable, the dangers to the community from such practices are exactly the same. The principles which such would inculcate are inconsistent with all government. They are as hostile t: the spirit of the British constitution as they are at HERTS.

First, the publication or speaking of the seditious writings or words charged the indictment, and the motives and intentions of in f the pa rties accused. Secondly, the criminal character or otherwise of the writ in g s or words so set out in the bill of indictment. The first inquiry is a mere matter of fact, and its result will depend upon the testimony of the witnesses whose names will be endors e d on the back of the bill. These only you will examine. The second inquiry involves a question of law—that is as to the character of the writings. Such questions are usually for the consideration of the Court ; but in libel cases the law has devolved upon juries the determination of the legal question also. It is no doubt the right of the jury ; and it is the duty of the Court to give them its advice and assistance, as I have endeavoured to do on the present occasion ; bat the determination and decision of the guilt of the party accused rests in your bands. If you are satisfied by the evidence laid before you.that the writings or words charged in the indictment were pub lished or spoken by the parties charged, and with the view and motives imputed in the indictment ; and if you are also satisfied that they are according to the views which I have taken the liberty to suggest—libellous and seditious in their character—you will find the bills to be proven. But if, on the other hand, you are not satisfied on these points, then you will find no bills. The Foreman asked if the bills of indictment would be sent up to-day. Mr. Bourne, Clerk of the Crown—Yes ; here they are. Two large rolls of parchment were then handed up to the foreman, and the jury retired to their room. The county grand panel having been called over, The Hon. A. Southwell addressed the Court, and stated that his name had not been called, though he had received a summons, and had always served on the grand jury. He had received a summons, but yesterday he got a note from the Sheriff, stating that the summons had been sent him by mistake, He was not aware what mistake there could be in it. He was there to answer his name, like any other juror, and could produce the summons he received. COURT—You are quite right in appearing. The Hon. Mr. Southwell trusted that he would be placed in his proper position on the panel. He did not think these were times in which a man ' coming forward to discharge his duty should be rejected, or treated with discourtesy or unfairness. COURT—We are all here in the discharge of a duty; and know of no place on the panel but according to the Act of Parliament. Hon. Mr. Southwell—Will the Sheriff be directed to put my name on the list in its proper position? CoURT—We cannot interfere with the Sheriff. Hon. Mr. Southwell—l have always discharged my duty as a good juror, and in other places, and I see no reason why my name is not on the panel, after I got a summons. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

The re port would be read to them, but in the balance-sheet there were unquestionably several errors—mistakes to the extent of 2,0001. or 3,0001. Ile should, therefore, recommend that the meeting be adjourned until some future day. In the meantime, if the meeting wished, of position uo u nTsmii tthmiyeoenocr f . : i f oabs theire ry course they would read the directors' report. At the request of a proprietor the secretary rend the report, which described the difficulties the company had to encounter through the carelessness of their engineer, who at first (in 1845) informed them that the length of the main line was 131/1 miles, and the branch to Tralee 14 miles, for the execution of which an adequate capi tal was then subscribed; but it was subsequently found that the length of the main line was 179 miles, and the branch to Tralee 19} miles, being an increase of 53 miles, and requiring an additional capital of above alahatnaidocs oppor tunity ogedrnh 600,000/. For this large increase of capital the directors bad in January, 1846, to provide above 62,000/. to de posit with the Accountant-General. Owing to some informality in lodging this money, the Bill was thrown out on standing orders. The whole of the expenses of this gigantic project fell upon the present undertaking, which received the Royal assent on the 25th of June, 1847, for a line from Killarney to Valencia, 31f miles in length. The shares were thus reduced from 251. to 101. each, and their capital to 300,0001. The directors bad ris b eo e racm e (e n ieiv i pe n adr c :re munitation with the Government respecting the advantages of the harbour of Valencia as a packet et s h t o a eru tion, with a view to obtain aid in carrying out the completedtptGhar rieone3j scheme, tc c tr hhet Southern i lor" : tt countenance begeucruonnaott recommended ree a akt n t dnh. i ad o i tns n hcT s iecstho, h eemaa a s npt d pdedaoir rnrbaetyeci assistanceß e ot h n noaari do ,are enteredtryhe declined inolf im i ncnoepadtparooi shouldreni ):::0i doing carrying ghe any thing the neho ybbua eitt sA s no h inro ,0t5c.0 saidmoGb l ur d opini rd b tegs e eo m th u i d n ,sm g , f ol o i:oo r e: th i e h p o re a s c ent, or until their line shall have been , on this a o d w distance ee showed subject. bhj th ae ass assurance a 6 n ,933/. el neY h d put the shareholders vanced by ea as soon a . s ex p p o e s n si d b e le d , , extending from Kil- Pinrgoptehrati'haendh he would take :h . c tb e e l that gentleman's this purpose they et e o t4f.4s i, undertaking, hR7m eiucilrase Russell ep.lreport r For and ae t yr h r sea report neo a rdpt call ot,Nsh , possession ei o se f sh ilo/hn. remainder a p od e f r jt shareuh sejust aca t beent actual a e el payable pro in leaving a balance had received from Mr. J. directors a n b a i l lities of arbour of Valentia Rs a packet harbour on the western opinion personal eeras capabilities that it was beyond expression the e as b t of Ireland, and packet station to America.

After some discussion, the recommendation of the Chairman was adopted, and the report was received; but the statement of accounts was agreed to be referred to a future meeting, and a resolution was ultimately drawn up, adjourning the meeting to the 11th of May, at the same place, at the same hour, the secretary in the meantime preparing a balance-sheet, which should be ready on the 4th of May, and to lie at the offices of the company from that date up to the holding of the meeting for inspection. The meeting then broke up. _ Masters' Assistants—P. P. Parks, to the San Josef ; Charles May, to the Hastings. Naval Cadets—Charles F. Hill, to the Prince Regent ; James J. Barlow, Martin Tracey, and J. T. P r in g l e , to_ the Hastings ; f. W. Mist, to the Gorgon ; R. W. Heathcote, to the Prince Regent. The Cabinet Ministers proceeded from London by special train, at a quarter to nine o'clock on Saturday morning, for Gosport, where they arrived at half-past eleven, and were received by the naval officers pf Ports mouth, &c. Their Lordships proceeded to Osborne in her Majesty's steam vessel Fire Queen, which brought them back to Gosport at four p.m. The special train was in waiting in the Clarence yard, whence their Lord. ships took their departure for London at a few minutes past four. • The Jackal and Fan tome arc ordered to be paid off at Portsmouth. A COAL DEPOT FOR SPITHEAD.—The Dee, steam: transport, Master Commander G. Filmer, which ar rived from Woolwich, was paid advance wages on Saturday. On Wednesday, after lying five days at Spithead, it was discovered that she required a few tons of coal, and as there is no coal depot at Spithead, she was ordered into harbour to receive them, whereby the fuel will cost the Government full 2/. the ton. Many persons have said, " Why not have a coal depot at Spithead in these days of steam ? " We will tell them. The Government harbour pilots oppose the scheme, on account of the profits they derive from the pilotage fees, and say that steamers cannot lie along. side a coal depOt at Spithead without damaging their paddle-boxes. This is mere moonshine. There can be no danger unless in a complete gale, in which case no officer of judgment would attempt such a thing. Gene rally there i 3 no difficulty whatever, and we are quite sure hundreds of pounds might be saved by such an establishment in a twelvemonth. The Admiralty have only to order an addition to the salary of each of; he harbour pilots in lieu of all pilotage fees, and the oppo sition of those parties will speedily evaporate. At present they rule the Master Attendant's opinion, his, in like manner, influences that of the Admiral Superintendent...• and, through him, the Admiralty. The Dee is to pro ceed to Cork and the Cape of Good Hope, whence she sailed yesterday.—Hampshire Advertiser. PLYMOUTH, APRIL 14.—The Agincourt, 72, was com pleted yesterday. By an order from the Admiltry the ships in the har bour are to have a guard by night. WOOLWICH, APRIL 15.—ROYAL MARINES.--Three sergeants, three corporals, two drummers, and 120 pri vates of the Woolwich division left head-quarters this morning for Portsmouth, to servo on board the Hastings, 72 guns, commissioned by Captain W. Morgan, to be employed on . the Cape of Good Hope and East India station. The Han. Gentleman's name was then put on the panel, immediately after that qf,.the foreman. Two indictments were then handed to the grand jury, who retired to their room. At a quarter before three o'clock the grand jury returned into court. EDINBURGH AND NORTIIERN.*:4. A special meeting of this company was held on Wednesday at Edinburgh, Mr. J. Balfour in the chair. Three Bills were submitted and approved—viz., for making a railway from North Queensferry to Dunferm line, with branches to Inverkeithing harbour, and the East Pier at Queensferry; for branches to Roscobie, Kiltyhead, and Glencraig; and for improving the harbour of Burntisland . The CHAIRMAN stated that it was the opinion of counsel that the Act of Amalgamation superseded the Act of Agreement with the Edinburgh, Leith, and Granton Company, and that the latter was not compelled to complete their works for 310,0001.; they were entitled to expend the full amount under the Act, 344,0004, and the expense of completing the Granton line must be now considered a debt due by the amalgamated company, without any claim upon the former company. A resolution was passed adopting the opinion of counsel, and authorising the directors to abandon further proceedings, and settle the matter in dispute between the two companies. Thanks were voted to the chairman, and the meeting separated. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTEMOUTII.—The Albion, 92, is again ready for commission at Devonport, and we hope soon to see the pennant flying on board of her. Her being so speedily brought forward for re-commission is the best refutation of those numerous and malignant statements which have been made to the prejudice of the ship and her designer by certain parties. The Indefatigable, 50, on the plan of W. Edye, Esq., Master Shipwright of Devonport Dockyard, will be launched in June next, when the Phoebe, 50, a sister ship, will be commenced on the same slip. The steam•sloop to be built at Devonport, and ordered to be called the Audacious, is to be named the James Watt. The Algiers, 90, ordered to be built at Pembroke, is ordered to be built on the slip from which the Aboukir was lately launched at Devonport. The Arrogant screw frigate, newly built, is in dock at Portsmouth, being jury-rigged to be navigated to the East India Docks, to ship her engines. ADVANCED STEAM SQUARON. — The Sphynx, Rattler, and Driver, first-class sloops, are ordered from the River to this port, to complete the required squadron to the number resolved upon—twelve.

Skead, to the Dee s e visitors at t d h u a s t k tme , g or a d n e d r al d p v r e e rf ee is n er t s itis open from eight TRIM BILLS AGAINST MR. MITCHELL. The Foreman announced that they had found true bills on the indictments sent up. The Clerk of the Crown asked were they found against John Mitchell? The Foreman—Yes; against John Mitchell. We have found on all the counts in the two bills of indict ment against John Mitchell. The Clerk of the Crown, at the suggestion of the At torney-General, was about handing up two other bills, when Sir E. Borowes intimated the wish of the grand jury to defer the consideration of those bills until Monday. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL , observed that both bills were very short, and as it might save trouble to all par ties concerned, he suggested they should be considered. There were only a few witnesses to be examined. Mr. Smith O'Brien said, as far as he was concerned, he was quite ready to go on. It was then decided the bills should go up. The CLERK of the Citowx observed, that the certifi cate on the bills was not properly drawn up, whereupon the Grand Jury were recalled. Sir Edward Borowes said he had signed the certificate " a true bill—for self and fellows," which he presumed was correct. Mr. Mitchell.—MY Lords, I do not think that is correct. Mr. Justice CRAMPTON told the Grand Jury they should state in the certificate the name of the individual and the offence with which he was charged. The CHIEF JUSTICE (to Sir Edward Borowes)—You are called upon to state the offence. Sir Edward—For seditious language. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—For seditious publications, you mean. Sir Edward—Yes, seditious publications in the United Irishman. The required certificate was thon appended to each bill. Mr. Mitchell was then called in due form, and ap peared. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that Mr. Mitchell having appeared, he moved that he be required to plead in four days, in pursuance of the statute in such case provided. This was the course pursued at the late State trial in this Court. Mr. Mitchell was entitled to a copy of the indictment. The motion being granted, a similar rule was made on the second bill. Copies of the indictments were banded to Mr. Mit chell. Mr. DILLON applied to the Court, on behalf of Mr. Mitchell, for liberty to appear henceforth by attorney in stead of in person. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected, as it would be opposed to the rules of the court, and no grounds had been offered in support of the motion. Mr. Justice Cnesirrox observed that the court could grant the motion if it saw sufficient grounds. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL admitted this; and On the suggestion of the CHIEF JUSTICE the matter was allowed to stand over to Monday. TRUE BILLS AGAINST MESSRS. O'BRIEN AND MEAGHER. Shortly after four o'clock the grand jury appeared in court, when Sir Edward Rot:owes announced that they had found true bills against Mr. Thomas Meagher for uttering a seditious speech en the 15th March last; and also true bills against Mr. William Smith O'Brien for uttering a seditious speech on the same day. "We find ,(said the foreman) true bills on all the counts." The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then made a similar motion to plead in four days to that in the case of Mr. Mitchell. Mr. DILLore said he intended to move that Messrs. O'Brien and Meagher be allowed to appear by attorney. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL observed that he did not desire to give the traversers unnecessary annoyance, and if he could accede to the motion he would. The CHIEF JUSTICE said the case could stand over to Tuesday, when the like rule would be made in all three. The Court then adjourned. The Traversers, Messrs. O'Brien, Mitchell, and Meagher, walked from the rooms of the Irish Confede ration to the courts, accompanied by Messrs. O'Gorman, sen., Devin Reilly, and several other prominent members of that body. They were loudly cheered by the crowd assembled outside the court. THE DEFENCE. In reply to a question from Mr. Smith O'Brien, who said he intended to address the jury himself, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated that he thought he might hare the assistance of counsel in all legal matters. But he recommended the lion. Gentleman to take the adrice of counsel on the subject. Howerer, he thought there could be nn objection. THE INDICTMENTS. There are two indictments against Mr. Mitchell. One is grounded on the article entitled " Striking terror," which relates entirely to the late special commissions, and may be considered as an attack upon Chief Justice Black burne as one of the presiding judges at them. The se cond indictment is on the letter to Lord Clarendon, who is charged therein as " the general butcher of Ireland, ' and another article entitled "French Fashion.' THE SOUTH DEVON RAILWAT.—We are informed that in consequence of what took place at the general meeting of the shareholders of this company last week, the directors have determined not to complete the arrangements for a luggage station at the Laira, the carrying out of which would cost probably about 2,0001., and the line will be therefore only used as a passenger line till it is brought to Millbay.—Plymouth and Devonport Jou, nal.

DEATH OF MAJOR BARNETT .—Died, at his residence at Southsea, deeply regretted, aged 73, Major John Barnett, et and actively eng age d i n no l ess t h an s i x t een o f the principal battles.

He was also present at the battle of Water loo, where he was again wounded. He afterwards served with his regiment many years in the East Indies, when, in consequence of the severe nature of his wounds and the state of his health, ho was obliged to retire from active service. We are enabled to state, authoritatively, that the circular to half pay officers, which raised so much curiosity some time since, was not issued with a view to the organization of an army of reserve (we never said it was, by the way), but in order to enable the Government to ascertain who would be available for increasing the number of officers in the local pensioner force, in case it was deemed expedient to call them out for more perma nent duty.—United Service Gazette.

(Owner) 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... 4 ... 5 TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin i —England having hitherto been in advance:of the other kingdoms of Europe, as respects the freedom of her political institutions, it seems highly desirable that she should still continue to maintain that vantage-ground. Unless, however, some measure should speedily be intro duced for an extension of the franchise, she will shortly be found to be lagging behind Prussia and Belgium, as well as other nations of the continent in that respect. This fruitful source of discontent should immediately be met by :an extension of the franchise to IL house holders—by a repeal of the tax and rate-paying clauses of the Reform Bill—by the Vote by Ballot—Triennial Parliaments ; and, as a further means of preventing corruption, by a declaration by all Members, before their taking their seats in the House, that they had not practised bribery, either directly or indirectly. Such a measure would satisfy all reasonable-minded persons, and give a death-blow to Chartism and discon tent. If to this were added an amelioration of the game laws, a reduction of the duties on tea and tobacco, and in lieu of them the imposition of the same probate duty on real property that is now paid on personal, there is much reason to believe that our population would again become happy and well-affected. Approving on principle of a limitation of the fran chise, I humbly conceive that the standard should be fixed so low, that no industrious, well-conducted ope rative need d erpa i r of attaining it, thus holding out to all an object o f am bi t i on, and a stimulus to exertion.
