Z , i, tr tninA LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1848. There are many reasons why the strong and unani mous recommendation of the jury who so nobly and conscienticusly discharged the duty they owed to their country, in the recent trial at Clonmel, should receive the attentive consideration it so fully merits, and why the prayer thereof should forthwith be con sidered by those entrusted with the administration of justice in Ireland the responsible advisers of her Most Gracious MAJESTY. We have 'al ready set forth public grounds why mercy should be extended to the unfortunate gentleman who, whatever may have been his errors, ever maintained an irreproachable character, and in all the relations of private life merited the admiration and respect of all his acquaintances, and of those in any manner connected with him by the ties of friendship or con sanguinity, These grounds may be shortly set forth as follows : First, it is neither just nor expedient, wise or politic, to inflict capital punishment for a merely poli tical offence, more especially when that offence has been unattended with any aggravating circumstances of plunder or bloodshed. 2dly, That the difference of the law in England and Ireland, by which parties accused of high treason in the latter country are de prived of advantages to which they would be entitled in England, and which are here considered to be es sential to their defence, should prevent the extreme penalty from being carried into execution ; and that, if so, it might be asserted with truth that the same protection and justice is not afforded to the Irish people that may be claimed by every English citizen. The sufferer would be regarded as the victim of partial and unequal laws, and a new and powerful argument would be given to all classes of Repealers, via., that the fundamental provisions of the Act of Union had been violated and set aside, and that in a point in volving the life or death, the liberty and property of an Irish gentleman, many years the representative of an important constituency in the Imperial Parliament. There are, however, additional grounds why mercy should be extended, founded upon every circumstance of the entire career of Mr. SMITH O'I3aIEN, before as well as subsequently to the period when, through a combination of untoward circumstances, he was hur ried into acts of open hostility to the constituted authorities of the country. Previously to the actual outbreak Mr. O'BRIEN at all times repudiated the extremities to which his more dangerous associates were inclined to proceed. While Mercuen professed Republicanism, and de sired a total separation between the countries, SMITH O'BRIeN only asked for what he believed to be a re storation of the Irish nationality, the repeal of the Legislative Union between Great Britain and Ire land. Every sentiment he uttered bore the character of affectionate loyalty to his SOVEREIGN, and even his worst enemy never imputed to him the slightest hypo crisy, or a concealment of his inmost thought,- It was clearly and distinctly proved that he repu diated the violence of MITCHEL, and the revolutionary opinions to which he gave utterance, and that he re fused to remain a member of the Irish Confederation unless MITCHEL sent in his resignation, which was accordingly done. He was an ardent and enthusi astic Repealer, but although we differ toto collo from his opinions on that subject, and as strenuously sup- Port the Act of Union as hie was conscienti- ously opposed thereto, it cannot for a mo ment be asserted that any agitation for that purpose, so long as it was restricted within constitu tional limits, amounted to a crime. Unfortunately, he transgressed the bounds within which he should have remained; but his end and object was not malum in se. The only point that could justly be objected to was the mode by which he endeavoured to attain his desire. Mr. O'BRIEN never uttered truculent and sanguinary speeches, such as some of those ascribed to others of the confederates. He never instructed his hearers in the most approved art of bloodshed, in the best mode of killing, burning, or destroying the opposing forces. On the contrary, at every period he depre cated the atrocities suggested by others, and even dur ing the last acts that brought him within the meshes of the law, he refrained from injuring, in any man ner, the constabulary that were within his power, or the property which a word from him would have con two gunners to each gun, " while the Field Artil 14Yy- remains to be manned, and the various ssinrnumeraries, non-commissioned officers, &c., to be Kliewise accounted for, altogether requiring a propor tion of ten men to a gun !! I" Well may the writer en.►hasis his deduction with three notes of admira signed to the flames. It is by no means impossible that he never con templated actual violence, but that his intent was to intimidate the Government into a compro mise. It is manifest that when he left Dublin on the 22d of July, to visit Mr. AlAnna, a gentleman of unimpeachable loyalty, in pursuance of a long sent invitation, he had not the slightest intention of ton. And in speaking of the disorganized condition of the artillery ha expresses himself in this forcible cat -1 sarcastic language : The Moniteur likewise publishes an official contra.- diction of the report that the authorities at Stras burgh had delivered up certain German refugees.

" With the exception of the horse artillery, every Le.illery soldier may be, and generally is, required to e-form the various duties of a field, and the more va ions duties of a heavy artilleryman. His meta rphose from a gunner into a driver, or fimin a driver into a gunner, is nothing to t.b..1 changes he undergoes. With FALSTAFF, he m°y say, I would to GOD my name were t so terrible to the enemy as it is ; I were better to be eaten to death with rust than to be sc mired to nothing:with perpetual motion.' Ile is at one time in the laboratory making rockets, then :mounting a gun on a devil-carriage, then diimount ie3 himself from a battery nag; here on the arsenal kound, there sweeping the parade; in the morning al mortar practice, in the afternoon at infantry drill ! ! Eh; existence is delightfully Protean, though, per haps, it claims a stronger resemblance to that of ti ose bustling spirits who abortively crowd the bank of the Styx, or employ themselves, like &sir rlus and others, in doing what leads to no p; ofitable result. We have always thought tLe dress of an artilleryman very significant; the caours of the rainbow, carefully graduated, from the v'olet of his trousers to the orange of his collar, pPrfectly symbolize the prismatic variety of his duties, a .1d :adapt themselves, picturesquely enough, to the gimental motto of Übique." With this preposterous diversity of employments, it. is manifest that no great excellence can be ever acquired in any one of the manifold departments of Ae profession. And coupling the incessant and de sultory occupation of the men with their paucity of numbers, it is obvious that the whole service :ants an infusion of strength and a general re-organi zation. It is peculiarly creditable to the intelligence of Dolman's Magazine that this enormous exigency in the public service should have been so very elearly xposed through the medium of its pages, and that the voice of this monthly organ, in particular, should e amongst the foremost and the most audible in de '..ianding a complete and searching investigation. an immediate insurrection. His engagements were made for the following day to visit Wexford harbour, and to meet a party at dinner. When DmoN and MEAGHER arrived the next morning with the intelligence of the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, and of a warrant being issued for his arrest, his statement to his host was to the effect, " that he did not come to disturb the peace of the house, but would go to Kilkenny to consult some friends. As Mr. WrinEsumt so clearly proved in his magnificent oration, all .through his ruling object appeared to be to avoid arrest; but, along with that there was also the general object of effecting a change in the constitution of the country, which brought him within the scope of the law—in fact, he intended to make a demon stration of strength that might lead the Government to succumb to his views and wishes. Of the three overt acts at Mullinahone, Killenaule, and Ballin garry, the two first were wholly unattended with violence. He asked the six policemen, completely powerless, and without available means of ,defencet to surrender their arms; they most properly refused, and he did not suffer their arms to be taken by force, as could easily have been done,lbut drew off his men; so that the police were enabled to pack up their goods and with draw without disturbance or opposition. At Nil. lenaule a barricade was erected, but that was imme diately cast down and a clear road made for the military when the party were assured that there was , no intention to attempt the capture of SMITE O'BRIEN. Every article of provision or other. wise that was taken, every accommodation received, was scrupulously paid for, even to the last farthing; no force was used towards any person who, however defenceless, refused to comply with the requests of Mr.O'Baresr, and, although there was an attack made upon the police at Boulagh-common, there is reason to suppose that it was wholly without the assent of Mr. O'Baias, who interposed as a mediator between the hostile ranks, at the imminent risk of his life, his undefended bosom being within a few inches of the police bayonets, a slight movement of which would have rendered this protracted trial wholly unneces sary. Indeed, the Lord chief Justice, in his able and lucid charge, wholly acquitted Mr. O'BRIEN o having stimulated the party to attack the police, cr of having uttered the words laid to his charge. Here, then, we see that, although he unhappily participated in the outbreak so as to subject himself to the penal ties of the law, he moderated the passions of his associates, and that we are in a great degree indebted to him for the preservation of life and pro perty in the disturbed districts. These, then, we submit, aff)rd ample and sufficient reasons why the Government should comply with the recommen dations:of the jury, and extend mercy to one who, although in error, has hi vrary in.tkm , o anted in A manner becoming a high-minded and honourable tention. The - necessity of iiiftoitig- a better sys tem of education into the barrack, and of organizing somewhat more efficiently th e arrangements of the dockyard, has at length been recognised. As yet, however, there has not been any perceptible move ment towards the improvement and re-organization o' a service of quite as much, if not of a still greater im portance—we mean, of course, the service of our Artillery. While the current number of the Quar terly Review contains an intelligent article upon the subject of "Military Education," we observe with pleasure in the number of Dolman's Magazine for October an admirable paper upon the inefficiency at " Our Artillery." The extraordinary evils whid. must inevitably result from a persistence in our pre. sent conduct towards this branch of the public service impels us to enforce the arguments of the last men tioned writer, by analysing and epitomising hie statements, and by accompanying that analysis and epitome with our own commentaries. Before the exigencies of our position, in as far aL the inefficiency of the artillery service is concerned, can be recognised and appreciated, it will be necese sary to give our readers, in as brief a manner a:t possible, some notion of the rudiments of this scientific portion of the Unnatural Philosophy of offensive anti defensive warfare. A glance over the historic:, of the European races will reveal the won derful progress which has been made le the science of artillery since the monk SCUIYART:', first contrived a projectile discharged by the detona tion of gunpowder. And the substitution of this ter rible instrument of destruction for the old and clumsy appointments of the bowyers and galeators—to wit the trebuchets, the robinets, the onagers, and the aspringals—will be found to have led to Ow establishment of the Ordnance office in Great Brasil. as early as the Protectorate of RICHARD the cele brated Duke of Gloucester and afterwards King England. To detail the, progressive advance ment of the institution from the appoint ment of RAUF BIGOD as Master. General in 1483, to that of DUDLEY in 1587, to that of ESSEX in 1596, to that of SCHOMDERG in 1689, to that of MARLBOROUGH . in 1714, to that of LIGONIER in 175'7, and so downwards to our own times, through KE3II-T, ANGLESEY, VIVIAN, MURRAY, and WELLINGTON, would be apart altogether from our immediate object, and would be liable rather to confuse the bearing of our remarks than to afford any important illustration to our arguments. It would, in like manner, be superfluous in this place to enter upon any technical definition of the differences existing be. tween howitzers and carronades, between mortars anti: rockets, between congreve rockets and shell rockets, between shot rockets and carcass rockets. Such in formation may be gleaned from elementary works like the Artillerist's Manual, or in fact from thc dry details of the most superficial encyclopmdiu More to our purpose is it to define the distribution of the artillery service into two great division s . namely, the Field Artillery and th e Garrison divisions, Siege Artillery—divisions which are felicitously de scribed by the writer in Dolman as " the poles of th e , magnet, the one representative of defensive, the otho , of offensive war ; the first of resistance, the last of attack." From the pamphlet of Sir ROBERT GAR. DINER there are some most instructing and copioue extracts illustrative of the precise number of g uns and gunners in our different insular garrisons.

The report of the defeat of JELLACEIICH by tho Hungarians is confirmed. The Austrian Lloyds Gazette gives the following account of the battle:— " On the 29th September, at a quarter to eleven o'clock in the morning, Jellachich, at the head of his army, issued forth from the gates of Stuhlweissen burg, his picked troops in the van. He attacked the right wing of the Hungarian army with his main body. Two companies of National Guards were the first attacked, and fell back in disorder; but rallying, advanced steadily with fixed bayonets, and drove the Croatians back with slaughter. Jellachich then issued orders to his Cuirassiers to charge, and, placing himself at the head of them, advanced at full speed on the Hungarian infantry. The Hun garian cavalry were drawn up in battle array in beautiful order. As the Cuirassiers came rush ing on, a masked battery of the Hungarian Land wehr, stationed on a hill-side, and supported by a body of infantry, sent a murderous volley of bullets into the close set ranks of the horsemen, who retired in disorder. The Hungarian Hussars charged in their turn, and a hand to hand melee ensued, which lasted from eleven in the morning till five in the after noon. General Mogg, who commanded the Hunga rians, displayed the greatest skill and coolness. At six o'clock the artillery ceased playing, and the Croa tian army withdrew slowly in an easterly direction. A. council of war was immediately held in the Hungarian camp, fearing that the enemy should at tack their flank at Chalvar, Bia, and Bieske, and attack Ofen on another point ; they resolved, conse quently, to withdraw to Markonvasar, to protect the city against a coup de main. The field of battle was left in possession of the Hungarians, who have to de -1 plore the loss of Ivanka, one of their leaders, who was made a prisoner." JELLACHICH has, it is said, fallen back in disorder behind the Platter See. The Hungarians took Count ZICHY prisoner, and upon him were found some letters from the Baron, in which the latter invites him to enlist the Hungarian soldiers. The universal cry of " Death to the traitor" arose, and the Count ZICHY was hung. JELLACHICII has been appointed by the EMPEROR Commander-in-Chief of the Austrian troops in Hun gary. The spirit of the Hungarian troops is excellent. The llungarian troops cantoned out of the country are also animated by unequivocal feelings of patriot ism. Three hundred Hungarian infantry have, of their own accord, marched from Gallicia to join in the combat, and the 12th Regiment of Hussars have also deserted in companies to come to the assistance of their country. It is the same in Italy. It is stated :from good authority that RADETZKY has written to the Austrian Ministry to have done with the Hungarians, for that he cannot keep them in his army. Sixteen Hungarian soldiers were shot on the very day that RADETZKY sent off his dispatch to Vienna. EURBAN, who had come from Bohemia at the head of some hundreds of students, to raise the Sclaves of the north against the Hungarians, has been defeated by the National Guard, and his band completely dis persed. The Augsburg Gazette of the sth October pub mujeLthe bead Vienna, Oct. 2 : tical Association was to be suppressed during the sitting of the Diet, and that a new law for the press was to be promulgated, under the protection of the bayonet.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday closed firmly. Sales 5,000 bales, including 500 of American for export ; American realised :std. to sd. per lb. For scares the market was gloomy, and considerably lower. There are various ship arrivals to-day, but the ac counts generally are not of later date. The American advices notice less doing in grain and cotton, but this was the result as much of a temporary, or presumed temporary stringency in the money market, as of any other cause. In reference to public stocks, &c., at New York, it is stated that " Government and State securities have been in very moderate demand during the past few weeks, and the prospect at present is, that a decline in prices, to a cer• tain extent, will soon be realised. We base this opinion upon the fact, that money is becoming scarcer every day, and it 4 value daily increasing. The amount of Govern ment stock upon the market is more than it can bear, and unless it is relieved it will be impossible to sustain prices. The advices received by the last steamer from London, relative to the negotiation of a loan upon the hypothecation of United States Six per Cent. Stock, have not had a very favourable influence upon these securities, and it is the universal im pression in the street, that in the event of the required loan not being made, Treasury notes will sink below par. If the loan is obtained, money will be plentier, and the market relieved, and if it is not ob tained, Treasury notes will, without doubt, fall below par, and the market be relieved by arresting the drain of specie to pay into the independeut treasury, as these notes will be purchased for payment into the Custom house, and take the place of the precious metals. There is, therefore, a probability of improvement in the Money-market." The Canadian accounts are interesting. The Quebec Gazette, in reply to some remarks that have appeared under this head, and were furnished by a corre spondent, denies that there is any French Canadian Go vernment in existence, or that any French party is in power. When Mr. Lafontaine came into power it was through election by a constituency of Bri tish birth or descent in Upper Canada, where very few French are to be found, and he has ever since, says the Quebec Gazette, adhered to Mr. Baldwin and his political party. At the last gene ral election, Mr. Lafontaine was returned by a combined vote of the British and French electors of the capital city of the province. If there existed a French party in the Government, it could only be a small minority, and there are but four of French origin in the present Administra tion, while eight are British, and with respect to Lord Elgin's being so much controlled as to be unable to in vite to his table any one who might be objectionable to the French Canadians, the editor of the Gazette says (which, by the bye, is not a denial) that he never heard any instance of the kind. The Government, it is added, is simply unpopular with some of the papers, and its financial :difficulties were bequeathed to it by its pre• decessors. The Toronto Globe considers the issue of debentures to have succeeded well, but the Gazette admits that upon this subject opinions in the province were divided. By an arrival from New Zealand we have dates of April 19, from Wellington, and April 8, from Nelson. The arrangements were in active progress for settling the Otakon district, and its colonization was expected to be of great service to the southern parts. At Wellington, the exchange on London was 2 per cent. premium, and freight was 61. There was a re-selection of town acres going on at Nelson under the last arrangement between the Nor; Zealand Company and their purchasers. From Auckland the dates are April 9. The mur derers of Lieutenant Snow and family were still unclip covered. The English Funds have further declined to-day, and, after the long pause, there is more activity, with an ap parent inclination to press sales. There are various reasons assigned. Foremost is the railway panic which compels, it is contended, the realization of assets by certain parties who have made advances upon shares. We shall not feed the morbid taste for excitement which points invidiously first at one individual or company, and then at another, as being "in difficulties," simply because such notices can do no good, and must do much harm. A fall of i t or 1 per cent. in these times can readily be explained on tangible grounds, without mere speculators inventing causes, or magnifying sales made in the way of business into embarrassment felt by any insti tution. The knowledge that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has stock to sell, that the election for President in France will solve a mo mentous problem, and that the pacification of Italy has yet to be accomplished, are all accessory, if not prime causes that weigh heavily against the abundance of money in the bankers' bands (never great probably), and against the comparatively satisfactory revenue re turn promised this evening.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday There were various rumours current on Sunday as o the course of conduct which General Ca valGNac and his colleagues were supposed to be about to adopt n consequence of the vote of the Assembly on the °ubject of President. On this subject we find the following article in the Presse:— " It was rumoured yesterday that General Cavaig nac and all the Ministry had formed the design of sending in their resignation en masse, in order to alarm the majority, and force it to go back, this day ;Monday), on its vote of Saturday, by means of some -ildirect amendment—some desperate subterfuge. TA is possible that the National may still deceive itself such a point as to suppose that no other Govern , -nent is possible but the African arbitrary rule which has been in force since the 25th of June last; the National may imagine that the majority, forced to ;he wall by the resignation of General Cavaignac, could not find means of replacing him. If he National thinks so, it is strangely mis ;aken. Ministers of the ability of MM. Senard, Goudchaux, &c., &c., are not difficult to find ; -t is not necessary to stop in order to choose them ; all that is required is to stuop down and pick them up. A head of the executive power, a sorb of 3ey of France Algerised, is a personage that can .!asily be done without ; it suffices to have at the head of the war department a sword, whose experience, firmness, and sincerity give all kinds of guarantees; sut General de Lamorici6re withdrawing, has not the majority General Changarnier left ? It cannot be said of him that he has ever been undecided or doubt- Ail, and that in order to expose his person, and at last ieclare for one particular side, he waited until there was neither peril nor merit. The 14th of April is there to answer for his firmness and sincerity. As to the head of the new Cabinet, he is quite naturally pointed out by the vote of Saturday. Is it not M. Dufaure, who supported the views of the committee, and achieved their triumph, when M. Marrast t the lo nothing better than name M. Dufaure President of th lthBe e Council, 31ci‘olua.ncnce and confide to him th e t as k o f corn nosingMinistry, ialwsi amnidr iei M rniies rt ,erw . oo D uf Dufaure, the f a h ualrvnee,t Interior, ios Pr r advantage, President dwe was s in that he would give all the guarantees possible to the candidates for the office of President of the Republic. With M. Dufaure there would be a certainty that the sincerity of election would be scrupulously respected, that no intimidation would be exercised, no fraud re main unpunished With M. Dufaure, France would. at last return to the reign of legality, without which ,here can be neither security, nor confidence, nor credit, nor work—four links of the same chain. The majority will have so much the more reason to choose M. Dufaure for President of the Council, that he has not the slightest pretension to the Presidentship of the Republic. Charged to form a cabinet, M. Dufaure would not experience the slightest difficulty in doing so. The Natioswl, therefore, will act wisely not to depend too much on the embarrassment of the majo rity, for that journal, by an imprudent counsel, may AhG v e iae r avn y ye e wlnaslet the acen e expose A p m J o se s us n e entme General ayi Thomas, E , gut other h g de e u n l y e dpi afftarektreennt Cavaignac heaienntboet not between wa con sideration. etonof " Anger is a bad councillor, and the wrath of EMILE DE GIRARDIN bath here overcome his pru lence. The object of the Judases of the Republic is now avowed—it is to make M. DI:FAURE President cf the Council of Ministers, because he has not the slightest pretension to the Presidentship of the Republic. Undoubtedly he has not : with M. Dneaune as Pre sident and General CHANGARNIER as Commander-in- Chief, it would not be their fault if there were no Republic to have a President. M. DUFAURE, one of the old Ministers of the corrupt court of Lours Purraprz sighs for the restoration of the " good things" which then fell to the lot of a dynastic Minister; and CHA GARNIER, the personal friend and the ready flat terer of the ORLEANS dynasty, would fain play the part BUGEAUD in Algeria. That they would succeed in - wentually restoring the " dynasty " we do not for a moment believe. It fell rotten from its own cor ruption—it fell because it was an organized falsehood —it fell because there was no truth in it. Never theless, any attempt to restore it, although unsuc cessful, would be attended with much bloodshed and much confusion ; to avoid the chance of which it is above all things necessary that the corrupt agents of the corrupt monarchy should be kept altogether aloof from power in the Republic. The Patrie says— " It is almost unanimously agreed in the two prin cipal clubs of representatives to endeavour to induce the National Assembly to declare that the election of the President of the Republic shall take place imme iiately after the section of the Constitution relative 'o the Executive Power has been voted. The club of the Rue Taithout, or the Montague, does not reject this opinion. The club of the Palais National and the friends of the Government are alone in favour of deferring the election of the President until after the organic laws are passed." The first portion of the colonists for Algeria, 643 in number, left the Quai de Bercy yesterday morning in six large boats, fitted up with every regard to their proceed in these boats as f ar as )ha c omfort.on a n d They fromwill t thence in steamers to the coast. The Minister of War and several high military and livid officers were present at the embarkation, and took great interest in the arrangements. General AE LAMORICIERE addressed them in a speech of en couragement, and promising that they should inces santly be the objects of the solicitude of the Govern ment. After his speech, which was received with :oud cries of " Viva la Republique ! Vive l'Algerie Vive la France ! and Vive LAMORICIERE I" M. Du- Fault; in the name of the National Assembly, and TRELAT, as President of the Committee on Agri cultural Colonies, also addressed the colonists in a "eeling manner. Before the departure the Cu/4 of Bercy pronounced a benediction on the flag hoisted by the colonists, and addressed to them a few words of ,ncouragement and consolation. The illoniteur contains the following :—" Alma nal announces, on the faith of a London paper, that the Duchess of BERRY recently passed several days Total mounted garrison guns ... 4,812 r n Paris, and that the police, informed of her place of For the service of this gross aggregate of cannon our residence, was content with watching her movements. artillery returns yield only the comparatively insig- 'The first part of this news is false—the second is nificant number of 9,000 gunners—being scarcely Lbsurd." present purpose, however, will be sufficiently satisfied by conveying the condensed result of many diffused calculations.

The Breslau Gazette of the sth, under the head of Lemberg, Oct. 1, has the following:— " For several days past great excitement has pre vailed in the garrison of our town. The Hungarian Regiment (Grand Duke Michael) desired to set out for Hungary ; he was even on the point of doing so, when he heard that the Poles of Lemberg proposed to go to the assistance of the Hungarians. The com mander appeased the soldiers by promising that he would set out on the 6th. Th e agitation, however, still continued, and a similar enthusiasm for the Hun garian cause was manifested by the Hussars." FRANKFORT. The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, of the sth instant, makes the following announcement :-- " M. Carnphausen, the Plenipotentiary of Prussia to the Central Power, yesterday informed the Mi nister of the Empire that the Chamberlain de Retz, who had been sent by Denmark to Berlin, had made in the name of his Government a declaiation to the following effect :--` That the Provisional Govern ment of the two duchies shall be chosen from the persons named in the list communicated by the Plenipotentiary of the Central Power, and in con formity with the paragraph relative to it in the ar mistice.' " PRUSSIA. The Burgher Guard law was publicly burned by the people of Berlin on the sth of October. Several speeches were made on the occasion. One of them terminated in these words :—" The Burgher Guard law was conceived in the name of absolutism and re action : let it perish in the name of liberty and the people's rights." ITALY. PIEDMON T. It is said General CUBIERES, who was made the scape-goat in the Teste affair, and in consequence dismissed from the French army, will take the com mand of the army of CHARLES ALBERT• TUSCANY. The Corriere Mercantile, of Oct. 4, says, news from Leghorn, of Oct. 1, has been received, to the effect that on the previous day there was a meeting in the cathedral of a large number of the citizens, the clergy, and of the municipality and the Cham• her of Commerce, when the following wish was ex pressed : "The inhabitants of Leghorn wish to remain, as they have always remained, united to the Tuscan nation and faithful to their c onstitutional Prince. " They desire to obtain from the executive power an amnesty for all, whether military or c ivil. " The Ministry should resign their exceptional powers, and exercise those only which were conferred by the constitution. "A deputation shall be sent to Florence with these propositions, protesting that if they are not accepted, the inhabitants will act as in conscience and right they are entitled to do, and, should they deem it ad visable, will send a manifesto, which will contain an account of all that has passed, to all the Courts of Europe.

(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE MILLER. The bankrupt had carried on business as a grocer, &c., Commercial-place, Kentisla-town, and came up to pass his last examination. Mr. Cooke, Mr. Sturgeon, and Mr. Jervis, solicitors, opposed on behalf of the assignees and creditors. It appeared, after a lengthened examination, that the bankrupt had got rid of the whole of his property to family creditors, and less than 10/. had been got in for the general body. His HONOUR said it was a very suspicious case, but he did not think he ought to commit the bankrupt, but he should adjourn the examination sine die, leaving the bankrupt to come up at his own expense, when he could produce satisfactory accounts. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) Charles Mallet, a pugilist, was placed before Mr. Bingham, charged with having picked the pocket of John Donovan, a stone mason, residing in Eccleston street, Pimlico, under the following circumstances:— The prosecutor stated that on the previous evening he went into Ben Caunt's, the Coach and Horses, St. Martin's-lane, and after partaking of something to drink he fell asleep in the parlour. After remaining for some time in that state he was awoke by some person in the room, who told him that the prisoner had picked his (prosecutor's) pocket. Witness then put his hand into his trousers pocket and missed about 95. 6d. in silver, which he had safe in his pocket previous to falling asleep. He was rather the worse for liquor, but knew perfectly well what he was about. Mr. John Waters, a gentleman residing at No. I. Kensington-street, Knightsbridge, said he was in the parlour at Ben Caunt's last night, and observed the pro• secutor lying with his head on the table fast asleep.

THIRD COURT FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE.—At the last Court of Common Council the report on the reference to consider of providing in creased accommodation at the Sessions House for the administration of justice, and for providing a third court at an expense of 1,5001., was agreed to and or dered to be carried into execution. The additional court is to be formed on the principal story, and will oc cupy, the portion of the building on the west side of the New Court, at present used as the Indictment-office, with entrance for the judge from the judge's lobby; the remaining accesses being from the present staircase and lobbies on; the north and south sides of the court. The Indictment-office is to be formed on the ground-floor in the space at present appropriated for the culinary de partment, which will be entirely removed to the upper floor contiguous to the dining-room, thereby obviating the great inconvenience at present arising from the dis tance between this department and the dining-room. By this arrangement, which has been most skilfully made, upon very contracted groundwork, by Mr. Bun ning, the city architect, the offices of Mr. Clark, the clerk of the arraigns, will be rendered more convenient than they are at present, and additional light is proposed to be given to the space on the ground floor for the wit nesses in waiting. A separate waiting-room is also to be formed for female witnesses.

TRENCH BELLEW APMANUS.—Mr. MILIEUS (who is about to take is trial for high treason) is not, as has been stated in some of the journals, a native of Bel fast—he is a native of the county of Fermanagh, near the town of Tempo, where his ancestors have been located for the list century. His father, Philip M‘Manus, who died about the year 1830, in Monaghan, was respectable, and for many years was land-agent over the property of the late Constantine Maguire of Fermanagh, and seneschal under that gentleman of the manor of Inchlouggesh, in said county, the duties of which office he discharged with credit to himself and satisfaction to the public. Some years ago Mr. M.Manus went to reside in Liverpool, where he commenced the business of a forwarding agent and general broker, and was very much esteemed, doing a very extensive business, so much so that the profits of his business amounted, latterly, to 2,0001. per annum. He is about thirty-eight years of age, and of very prepossessing manners and ap pearance.—Liverpool Mail.
