The Derby day is ove;:and, of course, You'll look for something on the winning horse. It was a glorious meeting—Epsom Downs Seemed literally paved with human crowns. Wtousands were there to witness the display, And mark the winner of the Derby day. IMI many an eye looked bright, and many a heart Beat with excitement at the eventful start. Then came the cry, " They're off and with a bound Away they gallop, darting round and round. •Thile eagerly the thousand heads were thrust, 'To see which lucky horse would come in " fast ; And lo ! a few brief seconds end the whole, The winning horse has cleared the envied goal. And now another theme employs my pen, For bets and odds I leave to sporting men. /they better can discuss " fair play," or " chouse," While business call' me to THE WINNING HOUSE. Ah ! Messrs. MOSES, when the horse came In, I thought of you, and how you daily win. Your winning house is ever first in trade, And none like that of MOSES is displayed. : MOSES and 80N, thought I, have lung held up The rightful claim to Fashion's golden cup. Their winning house, as multitudes confess, Is winning thousands with i:s winning dress. Their winning Coats and Trousers are the first, and widely o' er th e ki ng d om are disperse d . The winning Vests of MOSES are displayed As first and foremost in the " course" of trade. And rest assured that MOSES never chouse 119 winning profits at the Winning House. LIST OF PRICEIS. ILIAD"!

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—INDIGESTION AND BILIOUS COMPLAINT OF THREE YEARS' STANDING CURED BY HOLLOWAY ' S PILLS.—Mr. C. Williams, of Dungannon, had been suffering for three years with a severe bilious complaint, accompanied with bad digestion, and a con stant expectoration of phlegm. His afflictions from these disorders were so great, that for nights together it was impossible for him to lie on a bed. All the me dicine he had taken failed to give him relief, he there fore determined on giving Holloway's Pills a trial, and he was soon gratified with the result, for this valuable Medicine speedily improved his powers of digestion, re moved the excess of bile, and re-established him in per fect:health.

DUBLIN, Mil' 27.—Before their Lordships (Baron Lefroy and Justice Moore) took their seats on the bench, the Crown Counsel, the Attorney-General, Mr. White side, Q.C., Mr. Henn, Q.C., the Hon. ➢lr. Plunkett, end Mr. Baldwin, entered court, and ranged themselves in the place always occupied by them immediately beneath the bench. Mr. Holmes, Sir Colman Oioghlen, Mr. Pigot, Mr. O'Hagan, and Mr. Dillon, counsel for the prisoner, occu pied the seats opposite. The other seats were occupied by members of the bar. The body of the court and the galleries were filled by the public generally. There was no pressure, no excitement, no commotion in the court, and though the crowd was excessive outs:de of the doors there was little or no con tusion, owing to the strong body of police, foot and tnoutitt d, that were in attendance. The prisoner having been arraigned and given in charge as on the former day, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL rose to state the case against the prisoner on the part of the Crown. The Learned Gentleman said—Gentlemen of the jury, in this case Mr. Mitchel stands before you charged with the commission of an offence of a very serious character; it is, gentlemen, no less an offence than that of felony. It is a felony, however, riot involving the loss of life of the accused, but certainly, gentlemen, involving his li berty to a very considerable extent, because the punish ment assigned by the law for the offence of which he is assused is either imprisonment for a considerable period or transportation, as the Court may consider fit. There fore, gentlemen, I am quite sure, when I inform you of the very important consequence that may result to Mr. Mitchel from your verdict in this case, that I need not bespeak your most serious attention to the evidence which we will offer to you, and to the observations which shall be made, so far as you shall consider them pertinent to that evidence. It is, gentlemen, I am sure, almost unnecessary on my part to beg of you, in the discharge of the solemn duty that is imposed upon you, to discard from your mind any feel ings or opinions that you may entertain—if possible you have already entertained an opinion in this case—and to form your opinion, as the law renders it necessary that you should, from the evidence that shall be adduced before you. The offence with which Mr. Mitchel stands charged is one which, until a very recent period, if com mitted in England, would be considered as treason. From the earliest periods of our law the highest offence of which a subject can be guilty is the crime of treason. That was the case, gentlemen, partly in consequence perhaps of the reverence that is always bestowed by the law of England on the person of the Sovereign, and partly in consequence of the dreadful mischief and the numerous persons involved in a crime of that descripe tion. Previous to the month of April, you are aware of the state in which this country was placed, and of the political associations which were formed through the country ; and of the objects professed and avowed, of those several associations. The object that was avowed by some of those associations, up to that period, was to procure a repeal of the legislative union. That, gentlemen, was a legitimate object. The legislative union is the effect of an Act of Parliament ; and there is no illegality, nor is there anything wrong in any person (who supposes that a repeal of that Act of Parliament would be beneficial to his country), en deavouring to obtain that repeal by legal and constitu tional means. Accordingly, gentlemen, some of the associations which were formed in this country professed, as I have no reason to doubt, that their object was to obtain a repeal of the legislative union by legal and constitutional means—as they said by the force of public opinion—by bringing public opinion to bear upon the question—by raising a party in the country favourable to it—and by satisfying the Legislature that the true in terests of the country required that such an alteration in the constitution was necessary. Therefore, there was nothing wrong, nor was there anything ile legal in such proceedings. But a party se parated from that body, and the professed ob• eect of that party, so far as we can judge from their publications —some of which will be laid before you— was this, to obtain that repeal of the union, not by legal or constitutional means, but by having recourse to force and violence. In this state of things it became necessary to pass the Act of Parliament on which the present prosecution is founded. Previous to the passing of that Act Mr. Mitchel was, and is still, the proprietor of a newspaper entitled the United Irishman. From the publication of the very first number of that paper the articles published in it were of a tendency certainly cal culated to excite the attention of the Government and of those having regard to the preservation of the public peace and tranquillity of this country. Though it might, perhaps, be strictly legal, I do not mean to offer in evi• cience to you any articles published prior to the Act of Parliament receiving the Royal assent under which this prosecution is brought. It is enough for me to say of the articles previous to that period, that it appears from the publication itself which is now the subject-matter for your consid, ration, that those publications had been made prior to the publication of the articles with which the gentleman is now accused, and that they have been made, and are still the subject-matter of pro secution and pending against him in the Court of Queen's Bench; that is all I shall say in relation to them. The Act of Parliament which I hold in my hand received the Royal assent on the 22d of April, and the charge which we bring forward against Mr. Mitchel on the present occasion is this, that he did, since the passing of it, compass, imagine, invent, devise, and in tend to deprive and depose the Queen of the style, honf,ur, and royal name of the Imperial Crown of the Uni ed Kingdom; and that he did also compass, imagine, invent, devise, and intend to levy war against her Ma jesty, within the United Kingdom, in order, by force and constraint, to compel her to change her measures and councils; and that such his intention he did express and declare by publications in the newspaper of which he is the editor, publisher, and proprietor. I mentioned, gentle men, to you, that prosecutions aro pending against Mr. Mitchel in the Court of Queen's Bench fur articles published by him. It also appears, and will appear in evidence before you, from the documents published by Mr. Mitchel himself, that there was also pending, at the same time prosecutions in the Court of Queen's Bench against Mr. Smith O'Brien and Mr. Meagher, who are also members of the Irish Confederation. Those prose cutions were instituted at the same time, and were car ried on simultaneously [against those three gentlemen. It appears, gentlemen, that in consequence of those pro secutions that were pending, it was considered advisable by persons entertaining the same religious opinions in the city of Limerick, to get up a meeting, or give an entertainment to those three persons who were prose cuted ; and accordingly a meeting was held in Limerick, described as a " soiree to the persecuted patriots." That meeting was held on Saturday, the 30th April, and at that meeting Mr. Mitchel, Mr. S. O'Brien, and Mr. Meagher attended as the guests, I believe, to whom the entert driment was given. In the course of that evening Mr. Mitchel delivered a speech, the publication of which, in his own newspaper, on Saturday, the 7th of May, is one of the articles upon which we rely as a printing published by him, within the words of the Act of Par liament, expressing and declaring a certain compassing, imagination, invention, devise, and intention. And I believe the only question that will be left to you by the Court will be this—whether, in point of fact, those articles, and that in the other paper to which I shall call your attention just now, does not clearly express and declare the intention of Mr. Mitchel—that intention being the deposition of her Majesty the Queen from the style, honour, and royal name of the Imperial Crown of the United Kingdom, or the levying war against her Majesty, in order by force to cause her to change her measures and councils. You will not, gentle men, on this trial have to determine on the credit that is to be given to witnesses. Your opinion will not be required on any fact on which there will be contradictory evidence before. Your opinion will be merely required on the mewling, and :intention, and construction of those articles, written and published by Mr. Mitchel in this paper, of which he is the pro prietor. The first, gentlemen, of these articles is the re port of a speech delivered by him at the meeting in Li merick, on this occasion to which I have referred. In that speech Mr. Mitchel says—" Can I repudiate the last speech of Mr. O'Brien in the British Parliament— one of the noblest, clearest statements of Ireland's case the very haughtiest, grandest defiance flung in the face of Ireland's enemies that ever yet fell from the lips of man ? Or can I condemn the alternative put by Mr. Meagher, who says, when the last constitutional appeal shall be made, and shall fail—' Then up with the bar ricades, and invoke the God of battles !' " That, gen tlemen, Mr. Mitchel says, is the sentiments of Mr. Meagher, a n d w h a t i s t h a t sen ti men t ? Wh y this— that when th e l ast const i tut i ona l appea l s h a ll h ave b een ah m pia ad eec e a , cal appeals e h aln e r nrene now says— seios u — erl ue w es ,e h d o e x againsto h e o p l t d — t w h a hu t es u, constitutional means, and the pl uc k to d o i t — t h e b arr i cades and the God of battles.' orueudgpiiiaowtseiinrtt,ohh, the barricades, and invok e t h e God,of battles." May I ask, respectfully, my very able and respected friend who is to follow me, as Counsel for Mr. Mitchel, —may I ask him to inform yon, gentlemen, what con struction can be put on that paragraph, save the one I take the liberty of suggesting; and it is that, when the, last constitutional appeal shall have been made, they were to erect the barricades and invoke the God of battles. Mr. Mitchel states his opinion to be, that the time for all constitutional appeals has passed—and that the only resource left was to erect barricades, and invoke the God of battles. You, gentlemen, no doubt recollect that portion of the history of the world that this allusion to barricades was brought from; it is taken from the re volution which has been recently effected in France. Ile says— No; all the seditions and treasons of th ese gentle men I a dopt and accept, and I ask for more.—(guar, hear.) Whatever has been done or said by the most disaffected person in all Ireland, against the existence of the party which calls itself the Government—nothi ng , n go too lar Wi;att %or pablid tieetun. ti4ere are in this land, Ihavestomach fur them all.—(Cheers.)" The Learned Attorney-General continued to read many more passages from the same speech. He then con tinued—Now, may I ask, gentlemen, what meaning was intended to be conveyed by this statement? For what purpose were arms alluded to to be used? Is it pos sible that they were intended for any other purpose than that which I have taken the liberty of suggesting? But if lam wrong—it they were to be used for any other purpose, I ask my Learned Friend who is to follow me to state what purpose that is? Mr. Mitchel then goes on and puts very clearly what his intentions are. He says— " May I presume to address the women of Limerick? It is the first time I have ever been in the presence of the daughters of those heroines who held the breach against King William; and they will understand me when I say that no Irishwoman ought so much as to speak to a man who has not provided himself with arms." May I ask for what purpose were those arms to be pro vided? Does he not state in a previous part of his address that those arms were to be used against the Government of the country, the public enemies of the country? He goes (se— No lady is too delicate for the culinary operation of casting bullets. No hand is too white to make up car tridges. And I hope if it be needful to come to the last resort, that the citizens of Limerick, male and female, will not disgrace th e ir p a t erna l and matern al ancestors." For what purpose were the ladies of Limerick to make up cartridges and cast bullets, but to be used as arms against the enemies of the country—namely, the British Government? He adds— " Before sitting down, now, I wish to contradict one calumny. It has been said of me—Lord Clarendon has had it posted up over Dublin--that I have been inciting the people to plunder and massacre ; that my object is to raise a hasty and immature insurrection ; that I want to plunder houses, to rob banks, to break into shops, and stores. Need I refute this outrageous calumny ? Who ever heard me stimulate my countrymen to civil war against their own flesh and blood? My friends, we have no enemies here save the British Government and their abettors." Who the enemies are who were denounced all through this speech it will be for your consideratio n, g entlemen, to determine. Mr. Mitchell concluded his addr ess b y saying— "A war of assassination and plunder against our countrymen would be a wound to our own vitals. — (Hear and cheers.) I shall say no more of this; but again heartily thanking you for your kindness, I con clude by urging you once more to stand by and sustain smith O'Brien against hia enemies, and yours—to sus tain him, not for his sake, but for your own. If yet you are not lost to common sense, Assist your patriot in your own defence ; The foolish cant, he went too far—despise. And know that to bo brave is to be wise.'' I will not trespass on your attention, gentlemen, by going over this speech, which I have read for you. I shall only very shortly remind you that in an early part of this document the prisoner said that he would prefer a provisional government, constituted of the mob that hooted him in the morning—that were hooting him at that moment—rather than endure for another year the British Government. I will merely call your attention to that passage in his speech, in which he says that all the treason that had been spoken should be approved of, and that be had stomach for it all ; and that he did not repudiate the statement of Mr. Meagher, who said that when all constitutional efforts had failed, they should erect the barricades, and invoke the God of battles. /He stated that he did not attend at that meeting in the character of a Republican, though he was a Republican in prin ciple. I ask you, therefore, gentlemen, when consi dering this publication in your jury box, to ask your selves calmly and deliberately what other object or in tention he could have had in view than this, "to deprive the Queen of her style and royal name of the imperial crown of the United Kindom, and to levy war against her Majesty within the United Kingdom, in order, by force and constraint, to compel her to change her measures and counsels ?" Gentlemen, if a provi sional government were to be formed, what was to become of her ? If a provisional government is to be formed, is it for the purpose of continuing her Majesty as Queen of t the United Kingdom. The two proposi tions aro ut erly and altogether incompatible. If it were not the intention to establish a republic, it must, at all events, have been to levy war against the Go vernment, in order, by armed force, to compel a change in the constitution. Gentlemen of the jury, I have now stated to you the nature of the publication in the first paper upon which we call for your ver dict. That publication was published on the 6th of May last. It cannot be said that it was an unadvised pub lication—it cannot be urged that the Government took Mr. Mitchel by surprise—that the Government had tolerated the seditious publications of Mr. Mitchel too long, and without notice and intimation to him had availed themselves of an Act of Parliament immediately after its passing, in order to prosecute Mr. Mitchel. At that very moment, gentlemen, that Mr. Mitchel was publishing this article, Mr. Mitchel was aware that he himself was prosecuted—that a prosecution was pending against him for articles of a similar character and ten dency in earlier numbers of the same paper. Ido not mean, gentlemen of the jury —a s I trust I never shall, appeal to the passions of a jury i n a c riminal case ; I shall, however, appeal if I can to your judgment and to your reason. I appeal to th at j u d gment , a nd ask what is the meaning of that s p eec h an d i ts t e ndency ? I appeal to that judgment, an d I as k— w as it right or was it proper, Pending an appeal to the laws of the country for the publication of a similar charac ter—was it right that Mr. Mitchel should indulge in such a publication as I haveust submitted to I you? If that article st oo d a l one, do not anticipate any doubt could be entertained with regard to the feel ings, opinions, and intentions of Mr. Mitchel. But, gentlemen, in order to remove all doubt, in order I should suppose, to leave no alternative to any Govern ment, or to any officer holding the position I do, not to appeal to the laws of the country, Mr. Mitchel, in the r • se t i t u s l e u s c , c i e u e d w i n h g i n h um theb e i ru invention o s a p a u p f e r e s s pd ta u b b i l i i s s h h i e ng t n o other next Irish Republic, the time of its being established, the mode of its establishment, is in express terms stated. This, gentlemen, is not merely a publication in the newspaper of Mr. Mitchel —it is not merely an article, perhaps writted by another —it is a letter purporting to be written by himself, and addressed " to the Protestant farmers, labourers, and artisans of the North of Ireland." Ilse letter is a long one; I shall read it for you, as I am anxious that you should have the whole publication be fore you. It was published in the newspaper of the prisoner on the 13th May, and I think, from some por tions of it, that Mr. Mitchel himself is from the North of Ireland. (Tne Attorney-General then read the letter.) Now, gentlemen, I com e t o t h at port i on of this letter ' which really and plainly expresses the objects and inten tions of the prisoner thr oug h out the ent i re of these publi cations. I thought it n ecessary to rea d the preceding part of this letter, lest it should be supposed, because I omitted it, that there was anything contained in it cal culuted to lessen its effect, or give a different meaning to the remainder which I am now about to read. In deed, I think that the part I have already read, plainly shows that there is no advantage to be derived from " our foreign connexion," meaning, " the lady or wife of Prince Albert." The l e tt er then proceeds as follows: " I tell you, frankly, that I, fo r on e, a m not 'loyal.' I am not wedded to the Queen of England, nor un alterably attached to the House of Brunswick. In fact, I love my own barn better than I lore that house. The time is long past when Jehovah anointed Kings. The thing has long since grown a monstrous imposture, and has been already in some civilised countries, detected as such, and drummed out accordingly. A modern king, my friends, is no more like an ancient anoin ted Shop . herd of the people, than an Archbishop's apron is like the Urim and Thummim. There is no divine right now bat in the sovereign people. " And for the institutions of the country,' I loathe and despise them ; we are sickening and dying of these institutions fast ; they !are consuming us like a plague, degrading us to paupers in mind, body, and estate—yes, making our very souls beggarly and cowardly. They are a failure and a fraud, these institutions—from the topmost crown-jewel to the meanest detective's note book, there is no soundness in them. God and man aro when I hand; shall witness the and cruellest tyranny weary of them. Their last hour is at I thank the grave of the most utter God tdhuawtulfttLiveauidn trample daysupon ple "he is not loyal," that " h that deformed the grandest,this What meaning, gentlemen, m ay I ask you, will you put upon that paragraph, when you retire from this Court to your jury is not wedded to the Queen of England, nor unalterably w m or e l a d n ; st, e attached to the House of Brunswick." Does that mean that if he is able be will get rid of the Queen of England and the House of Brunswick ? Ile also says, " that the • box ? He says, time is long since past since Jehovah anointed kings—the thing has long since grown a monstrous imposture, and has been already, in some civilised countries, detected as such, and drummed out accordingly. Even gentlemen, if this article stopped there, you could entertain no doubt— bearing in mind the time the article was published, namely, at a period when Europe had scarcely time to reflect upon the revolution which had just then been ef fected in France—as to what the meaning and object of the prisoner was. But, Gentlemen, the matter did not rest there. for he then goes further. May I ask, Gentle men, am I drawing on imagination when I ask you not to put any forced const r uction on his language, bat to translate and receive it literally as it is written? He says—" Not tending to a local legislature —not to a return to our ancient constitution —not a golden link, or a patchwork Parliament, or a College-green chapel of ease to St. Stephen's ; but an Irish republic, o ne an d indivisible." Was that language consistent with the sovereignty of the Queen? Was it consistent with her Majesty remaining Queen of the United Kingdom to establish an Irish republic one and indivisible? How was this republic to be established? His avowed object is an Irish republic. The mode by which it was to be obtained was by himself and his countrymen meeting in arms. He goes on to say— " And how are we to meet that day? In arms, my countrymen, my arms. Thus, and not otherwise, have ever nations of men sprung to liberty and power, &c. Mr. Metebel l e.ows :or his object an Iris republic, one and indivisible ; he has avowed his means for pro cur i ng I that republic, by " appearing in arms , " li e h as also By F. B.

Marriage requires the fidfilment of several conditions. in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which movers 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 mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consenuence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, han 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 •f 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 n early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so trequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the canoes of lisease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intellisent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his posse . sion of the requisite legal malifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes ,ional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended.

I think, Gentlem en , per h aps that those words were not k suffi ciently plain, and accor di ng l y h e sa y s , speak more will sp more plainly :" " There i s now growing on the so il o f I re l an d a wealth of gr a i n , and roots, and cattle, f ar more t h an enough to sust a i n i n li fe and in comfort a ll the inhabi tants of the i s l an d . That wealth must not l eave us another year, not until every grain of it i s foug h t f or in every stage, from the tying of the sheaf to the load ing of the ship. And the effort necessary for that simple act of sell-preservation will at one and the same blow prostrate British dominion, and landlordism toge ther. 'Tie but the one act of volition; if we resolve but to live, we make our country a free and sovereign state." What, gentlemen, is a free and sovereign state, accord ing to Mr. Mitchel, but this ideal republic? Might I ask you, in sober earnestness, as rational men, if Mr. Holmes, who is to follow me, can put any meaning on this language except that it was a piece of advice to the farmers, who are to reap the forthcoming harvest, that they should rise up in arms, possess themselves of the property of the country, establish a republic, and make Ireland a free and sovereign state? The letter is then concluded as follows: " Will you not gird up your loins for this great na tional struggle, and stand with your countrymen for life and land? Will you, the sons of a warlike race, the in heritors of conquering memories —with the arms of free men in all your homes, and relics of the gallant Republi cans of '93 for ever before your eyes —will you stand fold ing your hands in helpless loyalty,' and while every na tion in Christendom is seizing on its birthright with armed hands, will you take patiently with your rations of yellow meal, and your inevitable portion of eternal con tempt? "If this be your determination, Protestants of Ulster, then make haste, sign addresses of loyalty and confidence in Lord Clarendon, and protest, with that other Lord, your unalterable attachment to our ve nerable institutions.' " JOHN MITCHEL." After some further remarks, the Learned Gentleman proceeded to say—This, gentlemen, is not a trial of mere larceny, where the question is—did a particular person steal this or that thing? It is a trial for a political of fence. The only instruction given by the Crown to their officer, the Crown Solicitor, was upon no account, and under no circumstances, to exclude a maa for his religion. No matter what religion he professed, it was his duty to exclude from the jury-box men, no matter what their religion may be, who co incided with the prisoner in his political opinions. May I ask you, gentlemen, if men were biassed in their judgments, would they be proper persons to be put upon a jury? The only instruction that was given was this— " Obtain an honest, fair, and impartial jury. Any man who, from your information, you believe not to be a man who will give an impartial verdict between the Crown and the subject—that man, and that man alone, without reference to his religion, you are to exclude from the panel;" and that Mr. Kemmis has, according , to the best of his judgment, exercised that right, I en tertain no doubt; also you will recollect that efforts have been made to intimidate jurors. You, I hope, Gentlemen, are above all such feelings. I trust you are men, and that is all that is required by the Crown, who will discard from your minds anything that you may have heard of Mr. Mitchel, or the publications in his paper, before you entered the jury box. I trust you are men who, having regard to the obligation of the oath you have taken, will honestly and fairly give a verdict which, laying your hand upon your heart, you can say is consistent with the duty which you owe to your country upon the one hand, and the prisoner upon the other. I trust that you are men who will honestly and fairly discharge the very important duty which you have been empanneled to discharge. Mr. HoLmEs rose to address the jury for the defence at a quarter past twelve o'clock. He said—May it please your Lordships, and Gentlemen, I am counsel for the prisoner, John Mitchel ; and I am well aware of the important duty which devolves on me this day, as coun sel for that gentleman, and also of my inadequacy to dis charge that duty ; but I will avow that I feel pride at being selected on this occasion by Mr. Mitchel, because I believe in my heart that he is an honest man, sincerely attached to the principles he avows—and no doubt which he avows boldly—and although the Government of this country may fear him, or hate him, they cannot despise him. Gentlemen, having thus said a word respecting the prisoner as to character, I shall now proceed with his case. The Attorney-General has fairly stated the case on behalf of the Crown, and has read very fairly all the publications respecting which Mr. Mitchel stands indicted ; and there is only a part, and one part only of the Attorney-General's statement to complain of, and that is the conclusion. Ido not think he was war ranted in stating in this court what instructions he, or those connected with hire, received from the Chief Governor of this country with respect to the striking of the Jury ; I think the Crown should never know anything of striking juries—not a word .—or give any instructions on the subject; for, if the Crown can do it, with respect to giving fair instruc tions, it— The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—What I said was, that the instructions I gave to the Crown Solicitor were as I stated. Mr. HOLMES—I may be mistaken, and would be very sorry to misinterpret anything said; but I misunder• stood that you intimated y our instructions from the Lord Lieutenant. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL — Most certainly not. Mr. HOLMES —Then I am mistaken. That is quite sufficient. Baron LEFBOY-If the Attorney-General's statement on this point had not been with a view to vindicate himself personally from charges made against him, I would have felt it my duty to have interrupted him. It was with that view alone that we allowed him to proceed. Mr. HoLmes—Well, my Lords and Gentlemen, I may be mistaken in that, but there is yet something in the Attorney-General's concluding statement I cannot be mistaken in, and which I find fault with. There was, as you are aware, a challenge to the array in this case on the part of the accused, in consequence of information he had received to the effect, that those whose duty it was to empanel an impartial jury, had not in all instances done so, particularly with respect to Ro man Catholics. That issue was raised and ques tioned, and the triers found on their oaths that the panel was a fair and impartial one; but what do I find them? I find that, of this fair and impartial jury —found to be so by two respectable citizens—the Crown strikes off no less than thirty men, eighteen of them Roman Catholics. There can be no doubt on that sub ject, therefore I will at once di sm i ss i t. I n this case, gentlemen, the prisoner, John Mit c h e l, stan d s charged with two distinct offences —and it is somewhat remark able that, in support of th ose two d i stinct offences —the same identical evidence is given to support both. The Attorney-General will be very well satisfied, no doubt, if you give your verdict on both or either charges, or for anything, like the foreman of the grand jury who found the bills. The foreman of the grand jury, gentlemen, having been asked if the jury had found bills against the prisoner, replied, " Oh, yes ; we find him gui lty o f se d it i on. " " Gentlemen," said the officer of the court, "h e i s not indicted for sedition." " Well," said the foreman, " we find him guilty of trea son." But, .gentlemen, again interrupted the officer, " the charge against Mr. Mitchel is for felony." " 06, no matter t o us," said th e f oreman, " sed i t i on, treason, or felony, it is all the same to us," and so with the Attorney- General, if you convict the prisoner, that is all that he wants. G en tl emen, as the Court' will tell you, the question in this case is not whether Mr. Mitchel may have committed in these publications other offences; if you think him guilty of high treason, you ought not to find him so, for you must believe him guilty of one or both of the charges made against him, or find a verdict of acquittal. The first charge is, " that he compassed, imagined, invented, devised, or intended to deprive, or depose, our most gracious Sovereign the Queen from the style, honour, or Royal name of the. Imperial Crown of the United Kingdom," and that this was evidenced by overt acts of his, namely, the publication of the different arti cles in the newspapers that were read for you. Now, really, I may be very dull, but I do not rightly compre head this part of the Act of Parliament, or meaning of the words, " to depose the Queen from the style, honour, or royal name of the Imperial Crown of the United King dom." I can understand deposing the Queen from the throne perfectly well. I can understand an attempt made on the life of the Queen perfectly well, or expelling her from her dominions; but I do not, for the life of me, know what it is to depose her "from the style, honour, or Royal name of the Imperial Crown of the United King dons." If Mr. Mitchell was indicted upon another section of this statute, for " intimidating both or either Ho uses of Parliament," I could understand the evidence here as applicable perhaps, if it were alleged that by so doing he got them to pass an Act to increase the Irish repre sentatives from one to two hundred, but I cannot under stand this charge, for notwithstanding that he did so, the Crown would not be affected in the least " in the style, honour, or Royal name of the Imperial Crown of the United Kingdom;" she would be still as she is, and have the same title. lam not accusing the Attorney- General of a blunder in drawing the indictment, for he has followed the Act, but we must have Acts of Parlia ment that we can understand, and I defy any man to understand what it is to deprive her Majesty of the style, honour, and Royal name of the Imperial Crown of the United Kingdom. The importance of this con sideration would appear from the first secti▪ on of the article, which declares—" that from the Ist of January, 1801, the kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland shall be for ever united by the name of the United King dom of Great Britain and Ireland, and that the Royal style and title appertaining to the Imperial Crown of the United Kingdom, and all the armorial bearings, &c., shall be such as his ▪ Majesty, by his royal proclamation, under the great seal shall appoint." Now, I can understand anything done to deprive the Queen of her title of Sovereign of the United Kingdom ; but, as I said before, I cannot under stand depriving her "of the style, honour, and royal name," as laid in this indictment. What the depriva tion is I cannot comprehend, therefore I cannot under stand this charge against the prisoner . What is the other charge ? It is " advising i orintending to levy war against her Majesty, her heirs or successors, living in any part of the United Kingdom, by force or con- [PRICE SD. straint, to compel her to change her measures OT coun cils." What measures ? What councils ? Is there the slightest evidence here as to what measures or councils these publications purported to change? Arc you, gentlemen, as a jury, to grope in the dark ? Are these publications calculated to force the Queen to alter her measures with France or America, or any other country on the face of the earth ? What the measures ere the prisoner wants to change I cannot understand ? What have been the measures of this session of Parliament for the improvement of Ireland ? The poor-law. That is the only measure I know of, and has Mr. Mitchel endeavoured to change it ? Not in the least; therefore I ask my Learned Friend, the Attorney-General, or the gentlemen who will follow me for the Crown, to tell you, on your oaths, what course or measure it is my client has endeavoured, "by advising the levy of war," to force the Queen to change. I would be glad to hear, even now, if the Attorney-General would condescend to inform me. I have no objection to le him mend his speech, if by doing so he can tell you any mea sure or council. Mr. Mitchel endeavoured to compel her Majesty to change by trying to levy war. Gentlemen, this is a criminal case, and it is incumbent on those who make the charge to prove it as clear as light—to prove a specific offence under the statute. The Crown, I admit, have done all they could—they have followed the Act of Parliament, but they have not proved that Mr. Mitchel has tried to levy war against the Queen—" to compel her by constraint to change her measur es or councils." I put it to your Lordships that, under this Act, unless the Crown prove a specific measure or council that the pri soner wanted to have changed by these publications, he m IS M r. ern. the t I I w o i arc which Learneds m, is entitled to an acquittal; and, therefore, I apply myself further to the case—l would wish to have your Lord ships' opinion on the subject as to what is to be left to which, if you co the jury.

Baron LEFROY said the Court were very reluctant to interpose, but the course pursued by Mr. Holmes was calculated to embarrass them in the situation they occu pied, by introducing objectionable matter, to which, if they did not express their dissent, it might make them liable to the imputation of having approved the line of argument advanced by Mr. Holmes. Mr. floe:Ares—l am the last man to press upon the Court that which I had not a right to do; and I think it impossible to do justice to my client without doing jus tice to Ireland also.—(Loud cheers.) Baron LEFROY called upon the Sheriff to give orders that persons who would again create disturbance in the Court, should be taken into custody. The Learned Baron commanded that the person who would commit such a breach of public decorum should be instantly reported to the Court, and it would be his duty to com mit him. , Mr. HOLMES —Th e Act of Parliament under which Mr. Mitchel stood at the bar does not prescribe one punishment—it might be for twojyears' imprisonment, or seven years' transportation, or transportation for life —and if there should be a verdict of conviction, it is not important to show all the circumstances of the case,and the provocations under which my client has acted in those publications. I think it quite essential to his case, and with that view the line I have prescribed for myself is quite necessary for his defence. My client may be guilty of felony, but I say it broadly and boldly, that England is the cause of the offence of which he is accused, and I will demonstrate it. I care not by what means you have been empanelled. I address you be cause I believe you to be honest men and faithful Irish men. Take nothing from me; I will state upon high au thority :—° What does the liberty of a people consist in: it consists in the right and power to make laws for its own government. Were an individual to make laws for another country, that person is a despot and the people aro slaves. When one country makes laws for another country (and _that England in making laws for Ireland, I will demon strate, by which Ireland is enslaved), the country which makes the laws is ab.polutely the sovereign coun try, and the country for which those laws are made, is in a state of slavery." I give that upon the authority of an Englishman—an honest man in his day—Black stone. And what does he say ? In constitutional questions he will not be suspected or accused of being too much in favour of popular rights, ho says :—" It follows from the nature and constitution of a dependent state, that England should make laws for Ireland"— (treating Ireland as a conquered country)—" conquered, planted, and governed by England, it might be neces sary that it should be subject to such laws as the su perior state thinks proper to prescribe." In speaking of this country, Ireland, he (Blackstone) maintains that because Ireland had been a conquered country in his days, Ireland of the present time, and for posterity for ever should be bound by such laws as the conquering state thinks proper to make for her. He called upon the jury, in conclusion, as they valued their oaths, and as they valued justice and public good, manly bearing, and personal honour, and as they loved the country of their birth, to find a verdict of acquittal. Mr. HENN replied on the part of the Crown. Justice MoonE proceeded to charge the jury. The jury then, at a quarter past four o'clock, retired to their room, and their Lordships withdrew from the bench. At ten minutes after six o'clock they returned, and inquired of the High Sheriff if the jury had agreed? He replied in the negative, and by the direction of the Court proceeded to the jury-room and asked them if they had found a verdict? In a few moments he returned, and intimated to the Court that the jury had not agreed, but there was a probability that they would do so. Their LORDSHIPS expressed an intention of adjourn ing the court for an hour, and swore in special bailiffs to prevent any communication with the jury during the interval. Mr. FRENCH, the High Sheriff, intimated to their Lordships, as they were about to retire, that it would be necessary to swear ie two more policemen and another bailiff, in order to station one in a yard from which the jury might be co mmun i cated with, andthe:other two were required the b e t ter to guar d against the least probability of tampe r i ng w i th the jury. The additional sentinels were then sworn, and sta tioned by the Sheriff in the places in which their pre sence was necessary. The word ran abroad like wildfire that the jury had disagreed, and th e exc i tement in Green-street and the surrounding neighbourhood became intense, the populace cheering and rushing through Capel-street, communicat ing to others the supposed fact. Their Lordships remained upon the bench, and did not adjourn the Court as they had intended, and the seat immediately before the bar, upon which a number of Mr. Mitchel's friends were, was cleared by the police, and two of the body was stationed at either side of it. j h u o r r y t l y r e - afterward s e i ( r t en box.m i n T u h t e e s s t i o l e n s c e e v e a n t o t h ' c i l s ock), the B mo ment was profound. Every eye was turned towards the box, and when the foreman handed the issue paper and the indictment to the Clerk of the Crown the anxiety was excessive. Clerk of the Crown—hew say you, gentlemen, guilty or not guilty. Foreman —Guilty. Baron LEFROY (addressing the prisoner) said, " Stand by till to-morrow." Several of Mr. Mitchel's friends, some of whom are barristers, pressed forward to shake hands with him, and blocked up the bar, standing between the prisoner and the b enc h .

It is ri . , : .1 flit we have had the case cailed on first; . iulti•iv k li • Now proceed to dispose of the case. The Clerk of the Crown then asked Mr. Mitchel if he had anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon him? Mr. Mitchel—l have to say that I have been found guilty by a packed jury—by a jury of a partisan sheriff —by a jury not empanelled even according to the law of England. I have been found guilty by a packed jury obtained by a juggle—a jury not empanelled by a sheriff, but by a juggler. The Emu SHERIFF-My Lord, I claim the protection of the Court. Mr. Dlitchel—That is the reason I obiect to sentence being passed on me. Baron LEFROY—That impuation upon the conduct of the sheriff I must pronounce to be most unwarranted and unfounded. I state this, not on my own opinion. alone, but on the opinion of two indifferent gentlemen. on their oaths, who were chosen and appointed to exa mine into the matter, and who have declared that thee panel was an impartial panel, fairly obtained and formed. On their oaths they have found it to be so. Therefore the sheriff, far from being subject to the im putation cast upon him, has done his duty in the case. John Mitchel, I cannot at the outset but express my regret—regret that, I am sure, is shared in by my brother Judge—that a person of your condition should stand at the ear under the circumstances you do. You have been found ge,Qty on the indictment charging you with feloniously oempassing, imagining, and intending to deprive the Queen of the style, title, honour, and royal name of the Imperial Crown of the United King dom; and with having given publicity to that intention by publishing certain writings in a public newspaper, published by you, and called the United Irishman. There aro other counts on which you have been also found guilty. You have been found guilty of the felo nious intent and purpose of intending to levy war against the Queen, for the purpose of compelling her by force and constraint to change her measures egad councils; and that those felonious intents and purposes were mani fested in publications put forward in your own name in the same newspaper. These are the charges for which you were put on your trial, and for which you have been found guilty. The evidence was furnished by yourself in pub - lications coming out of your own hands, deliberate pub lications, issued at intervals of time which gave you l'ull leisure and opportunity to consider what you were about, and to reflect upon what might be the conse ouenc,e of your acts. The case turned upon the meaning and interpretation of those publications. The meaning and intention was clearly furnished by yourself, and came from yourself, just as the publications themselves. The meaningand intent was collected from the language of the publications themselves, not confined to one, but to be collected from the successive publications, so as to leave no doubt upon the words interpreted by yourself as to the meaning and intent of these publications. The very able counsel who defended you was not able to offer any other interpretation of their meaning than that which is assigned in the indictment. Upon this evi dence, therefore, thus furnished by yourself, the jury have found you guilty. With that verdict, therefore, however you may be advised, or think yourself justified in calling it the verdict of a packed jury, and thus im puting perjury to twelve of your countrymen, deliberate and wilful perjury— Mr. Mitchel—No, my Lord, I did not impute perjary to the jury. Baron LEFROY—I understood that you had stated in arrest of judgment that you had been found guilty by a packed jury. Mr. Mitchel—l did. Baron LEFROY—I shall make no further observation upon that, but I owe it to the jury to state, that upon the evidence furnished thus by yourself, no juror, who had the slightest regard t ; to the oath h e h a d ta k en , cou ld, by possibility, come a different conclusion. What ground of doubt was even suggested with re s p ec t to the by y effect of the publication ourself : or with respect to the interpr e t a ti on and mea r ning of these publi ca ti ons . As I observ e d, not even you own able cou nse l was a bl e to suggest a d ou b t or a meaning different from wh a t i s imputed to them. N o, not even to suggest u t any apolo g y which could be att en d e d to i n a courtjustice, but an apology amounti ng t o t hi s , that you had a right to vio late the law. Well, then, with the verdict establishing your guilt of the offen ce s t a t e d upon the face of this in dictmeut, even yourself cannot fairly quarrel ' • and now what is the nature of the offence of w h ic h you have been found guilty ? If not the greatest offence, it is near akin to the greatest offence which any subject can be guilty of towards his sovereign, or towards his country. By the law of England, up to a late period, the offence you have been found guilty of was high treason. At the present moment, both in England and Ireland, it is a treasonable felony ; and I cannot but hope that, not withstanding the deliberate perseverance in the course which unhappily you have been pursuing, that you may yourself one day or other be struck with the awful con sequences, the awful results to which that course must of necessity have led, if it had not been checked in its progress. Surely, a provisional government taken from a howling mob—Surely a practical enforcement of your arguments, enforced by a 100,000 pikes, must have been. attended with most desolating ruin to your country. Well, then, independently of the nature of this crime, look at the circumstances connected with it. I will not go into any extraneous circumstances, but look at the cir cumstances which were brought before the Court, and to which we could not shut our eves, connected with this offence. It originated in a speech. Well, great allow ance might be made fur a speech delivered under ex citement, and though the time and place were badly chosen, upon an occasion where excitement would do more mischief, perhaps, than upon a more sober occasion. If it even rested upon that, there might be great allow and great apology. But, after time for deliberation, you thought fit to publish that speech, so full of exciting and objectionable matter, so charged with these felonious compassings and intentions which are stated in the in dictment. You thought fit to publish it, to take away from it all apology of momentary excitement, to take away from it all apology of limited effect. You put it into a condition calculated to give it circulation through every corner of the land, to diffuse the poison through every excited mind in the whole country. The law makes, even upon the matter of high treason, a great distinction betweeu words spoken and published. You deprived yourself of every mitigation which the law allows, and of every favourable distinction it has established as be tween words spoken and published. You published deliberately the first article, upon which so I much has been lately said, that it is quite unnecessary for me to recall or reiterate the objec tionable passages it contains, to sustain both the one count and the other. Bat upon comparing the two pub lications—the first of the 6th of May, and the second of the 13th, this observation arises—that whatever pos sible mitigation might arise from the tenor of the first, or from anything on it, has been effectually withdrawn by you, and done away with in the second. The second publication, which was at the interval of another week, leaves it utterly impossible for the greatest stretch of ingenuity, or the greatest perversion of interpretation, to protect you. Upon the second the charge is—and we have it expressed by yourself—of an intention to overthrow the monarchy, and establish in its place a re public. To render distinct what was perhaps vaguely expressed in the first, you have published the second document for which you were indicted. The first contained matter which perhaps might have been, and would no doubt, if the case had rested on that alone, have been a circumstance of mitigation, or at least an apology for that publication. You have in it disclaimed the intention of a war of plunder and assassination; and it was a disclaimer which would have been to your credit and your advantage if you had left it to be made use of on your behalf. But what ap pears in the second publication from the man who dis claimed a war of plunder and assassination? You tell your countrymen in the second publication, after a pre face that you were going to speak plainly, " There is now growing on the soil of Ireland a wealth of grain, and roots, and cattle, far more than enough to sustain in life and comfort all the inhabitants of the island. That wealth must not leave us another year, nor until every grain of it is fought for in every stage , the tying of the sheaf to the loading of the ship. And the effort necessary to that simple act of self-preservation will at one and the same blow prostrate British domi nion and landlordism together." Now, how is it possible that advice could be acted upon without, of necessity, leading to plunder, to the violent taking away and withholding, by force and violence, the property justly belonging to others, or with holding it from them by force and violence, by the use of arms. Thus it is, then, that you appear from one stage to another to have advanced in a bold, and deliberate, and determined opposition to the law, in language more and more unmeasured, more and more mischievously exciting. I do not express myself --at least such is not my purpose—to hurt your feelings, but merely to discharge the duty which is now cast upon the Court to admeasure, in proportion to the nature of the crime, the punishment which it may be our duty to inflict. It is, therefore, that I have, of necessity, stated strongly these passages of that publication, and the manner of them, and the perseverance of them, and the deliberation of them, as the grounds by which we are bound to measure our judgment, and to discharge the solemn duty we owe to the law and the public, and the peace and welfare of the kingdom. But has there been in the course of this trial attempted any explanation, any interpretation, any apology for these publications, or anything tending to raise a doubt of their bearing the interpretation put upon them by the indictment ? In advert ing to the course taken for the delence, we desire—and I especially desire it to be understood—that the obser vations I am about to make, and in which I am follow ing up some of the observations in the charge of my Learned Brother, in every word of which I concur—in the observations that I am about to make on the line of defence that was adopted, I make them not to aggravate in the least the punishment which it may be my duty to impose, any more than it aggravated the case before the jury. But I make these observations respecting the line of defence that was taken, in order to mark its irrelevancy, and with a view that the Court may not appear to acquiesce in that line of defence. We felt it our duty not to put a stop to it, but to interpose with a view of reprobating and checking it, as a line of defence which, in our judgment, was not warranted by the pri vilege given to a prisoner for his defence, and which, as it was too plainly shown, was as injudicious as it was injurious to the prisoner. No interpretation offered— no meaning ascribed to these publications—no effort made to show that you were not guilty of the defence imputed to you by the indictment; but a line of defence t, was taken, which not only implicitly but expressly
