THE WINNING HORSE and the WINNING HOUSE. The Derby day is over—and, of coarse, You'll look for something on the winning horse. It was a glorious me.ting—Epsom I)(oµ'ns Seemed literally paved with human crowns. Thousands were there to witness the display, And m irk the winner of the Derby day. Full many an eye looked bright, and many a heart Seat with excitement at the eventful start. Then came the cry, " They're off!" and with a bound Away they gallop, darting round and round. While 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 di.cuss " fair play," or " clionSe," While business call , me to TILE WINNING HOUSE. Ah! Messrs. MOSES, when the horse came in, I thought of you, and how you daily win. 'TPur winning house is ever first in trade. And none like that of HOSES hi displayed. MOI.ES and SON, thought I, hive lung held up The rightful claim to Fa,bion's golden cup. Their winning house, as multitudes confess, winning thousands with i s winning dress. Their winning Coats and Trousers are tile first. And widely o'er the kingdom are dist coed. The whin lig Vests of MOSES ate displayed As first and foremost in the " course" ot trade. And rest assured that MOSES never choose Whuliog profits at the Winning House. kdivl PlaCta. &BILDT MADE. neater Tagllenl ....... ...... .............fto . rn ZO 9 0 Chesterfield and Codrington's, anti every description of Over-coat, handsomely The path trimmed.. ••• • • • ••••••"•• • • • • • • • • • 1 1 8 5 0 0 ,_ _ a Coat .... ••••••"••• • • • • • • • • • . .... d. _e Iltilimer. especially adapted for snowy an 1 0 0 ~.wel. waather.. • .... 0 15 0 I ttirs SVlrder .

Marriage reattires the fulalinetit of several conditions, in order tkat it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin or 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 teed 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 conscouence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human [mute, hen 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 attentien and study, for what subject can of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. it unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired n early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so requently, 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 causes of tiseace, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelltaent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by 1114 posse sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes 'lona' pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'M E KT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas ertify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a fuari.ntee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

There are a host of equestrians, and a splendid stud of horses. Messrs. Moseley and irallett, from the United States, and M. Gauthier, riding-master to the King of the Belgians, will have the arrangement of this part of t'he entertainments. Bands of instru mental performers have been engaged, and a number of old and new favourites, singers and pantomimists and others, for the minor accessaries of amusement. The fireworks and illuminations will be on the usual scale of brilliancy and good taa'e. [ADVERTISEMENT. 3—INDIGESTION AND BILIOUS COMPLAINT of THREE YEARS' STANDING CURED BY IhiLOWAY'S PILLS.—Mr. C.

IRELAN D. THE STATE PROSECUTIONS. THE QUEEN V. JOHN MITCHEL. DUBLIN, MAY 27.--8,-fore their Lordship (Baron Lefroy and Justice Moore) took their scats on the btlieb, the Crown Counsel, the Attorney-General, Mr. White side, Q.C., Mr. Henn, Q.C., the Hon. Mr. Plunkett, and Mr. Baldwin, entered court, and ranged themselves in the place always occupied by them immediately beneath the bench. Mr. Holmes, Sir Colman Ologhlen, Mr. Pigot, Mr. O'llagan, 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 thegalleries were filled by the public generally. There was no pressure, no excitement, no commotion in the - court, and though the crowd W as exePsstwe ()Lys de of the doors there was little or no cor.- fusion, owing to the strong body' of police, foot and mount d, that vi ere in attendance. The pri‘oher 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 Sir. Mitchel stands before you charged with the commission of an offence of a very serious character; it. is, gentlemen, no less an °fleece than that of felony. It is a felony, however, not 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 a isused is either imprisonment for a considerable period or transportation, as the Court may consider fit. There-' tore, gentlemen, I am quite Sure, when I inform 3ou of the v. ry 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 obs. rvations which shall be made, so tar as you shall consider them pertinent to that evidence. It is, gentlemen, I urn sure, almost unnecessary on my part to beg of you, in the discharge of the solemn duty that is imposed upon yeti, 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 Tenders 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 Ettglaud, 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 ErgLnd on the person of the Sovereign, and partly in consequence of the dreadful mischief and the numerous persons involved in a crime of that descrip tion. irevious 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 obji ct. 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 tion:,) means. Accordingly, gentlemen, some of the associatioos;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 il legal in such proceedings. But a party se parated from that body, and the professed ob• sect of that party, so far as we can judge from their publications—smile of which will be lard before you— was this, to obtain that repeal of the union, not by legal or constitutional means, but by having recourse to force and violettce. 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 it newspaper entitled the United hislonan. 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 preervation of the public peace and tranquillity of This country. Though it might, perhaps, be strictly legal, I do not mean to offer in vi• itenee to you any articles publish,il prior to the Act of Parliament r,ceiving the lt,yal assent under which this prosecution is - broug , ,t. 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 arid pending against Lim in the Court of Quern's Benbh; that is all I shall say in !elation to teem. The Act of Parliament which I hold in me hand received the Royal assent on the 22d of April, and the charge which we bring forward against Mr. Mitch. en the present occasion is this, that he did, since the passing of it, cornouss, imagine, invent, devise, and in tend to deprive and depose the Queen of the style, honour. end royal name of the Imperial Crown of the United Kingdom; and that lie 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 alai declare by publications in the newspaper of which heis the editor, publisher, end proprietor. I mentioned, gentle - men, to you, that prosecutions are 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 thu Court of Queen's Bencl. tgainst Mr. Smith O'Brien and Mt. Meagher, who are also members of the Irish Confederation. Tnese prose- Collette were instituted at the same time, and were ear tied on simultaneously ;,against those three gentlemen. It appears, gentlemen, that in consequence of those prc 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 se 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. Dileagher attended as the guests, I believe, to whom the entert inment 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 ore 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, genrk - 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 tact on which there will be contradictory evidence before. Your opinion will be merely required on the m ening, and :intentien, and construction of those articles, writttn and published by Mr. Mitchel in this paper, of which he is the pro prietor. The lirstegentlemen ' 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, arid shall fail—' Then up with the bar ricades, and invoke the God of battles I' " That, gen tlemen, Mr. Mitchel says, is the sentiments of Mr. Meagher, and what is that sentiment? Why this— that when the last constitutional appeal shall have been made, then " up with the barricades, and invoke the Goireif baffles." He says— " Can I repudiate this—who hol.l that constitutional appeals are long since closed against us, and that we have even now no resource, except—when we have the mear:s, and the pluck to do it—the barricades and the God of battles: May I ask, respectfully, my very able and respected friend who is to follow me, as Coutssi.l for Mr. Mitchel, —way I ask him to inform von, gentlemen, what con struction call 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 iteubt recollect that portion of ike history of the world that this allusion to barricades was brought from: it is taken from the re volution which ha! been recently effected in France. He say • " No; all the seditions and treasons of these gentle men I adopt and accept, and I ask for more.—(H ear, hear.) Whatever hiss been done or said 'by the most disaffected person in . all Ireland, against the existence of the party. which calls itself the Government—nothi4g can go too tar for me. Whatever public treasons there are in - thisland; Iharesteinadh for thud all.:—(Cheers.)". The Learned Attorney-General coutUmed to rend 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 allud e d t o to b e u sed? Is it pos sible that they were intend e d f or an y o ther purpose than that which I have tak e n th e lib erty of suggesting? But if lam wrong—it they w ere to b o used for any other purpose, I ask my Lear ne d F r i en d w ho is to follow me to state what purpose th a t i s ? M r . Mitchel then goes on and puts very clearly whit 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 her o i nes who held t he breach against liii,g William; and they will underst and me when I say that no Irishwo man oug ht so much as to speak to a man who h as nu t Provided himself with arms." Mey I ask for what purpose wereahose 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 Goiernment of the country, the public enemies of the country? He goes on— " No lady is too delicate f or th e c ulinary opera tion 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 Linierick, male and female, will not disgrace their paternal and maternal 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 Britis h Governtnent? 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 -mv object is to raise a hasty and immature insurrection ; 651 . 1 want to plunder houses, to rub banks, to break into shops, and stores. Need I refute this outrageous ca lumn y ? Who ever heard me stimulate my countrymen to civil war against their own flesh and blood? My friends , -ereetrir no enemies here save the British d ove rnment and their abettors." Who tho enemies are who were denou nced all throu g h this speech it will be fur your consideration, gentlemen, to determine. Mr. Mitchell concluded his address by aying— •• A war, of assassination - and - plupder . 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 his enemies, and yours—to sus tain him, nut 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 be 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 Le• 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 arid 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 ? It a provisional government is to' be formed, is it for the purpose of continuing her Majesty as Queen of ' the United Kingdom. The two proposi tions are 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 charge 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 aict. 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 bad availed themselves of an Act of Parliament immediate!) alter its passing, in order to proseeute-Mr. ?Michel.. At that very moment, gentlemen, that Mr. Mitchel was publishing this article, Mr. Mitchel wee aware that he himself was prosecuted—that , a prosecution was pending against him fur articles of a similar character and ten dency in earlier numbers of the same piper. Ido not mean, gentlemen of the jury—as I trust I never shall, appeal to the passions of a jury in a criminal case ; I snail, however, appeal if I can to your judgment and to your reason. appeal to that judgment, and ask what is the meaning of th at - speec h an d its tendency ? I I appeal to that judgment, and I ask—was 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 iu such a publication as I have just submitted to you? If that article stood alone, I do not anticipate any doubt could ba entertained with regard to the feel ings, opinions, and int ui ti on; of Mr. Mitchel. But, gentlemen, in order to remove all doubt, in order should suppose, to leave' no alternative to any Govern ment, or to any officer balding the pc” Won I do, not to appeal to the laws of the country, Mr. Mitchel, in the very next succeeding number of his pap , r, published two Mier articles, in which the invention of establishing an Irish Republic, the time ut its being eet...blished, the node of its establishment, is in express terms stated. Phis, gentlemen, is not mer e ly a publication in the newspaper of air. btitChel—it is not merely an article, perhaps %rived by another—it is a letter purporting to pre written by himself, and addressed " to the Protestant armors, labourers, and art i sans of t h e North of Ireland." fhe letter is a long one ; I shall read it for you , as I am mxious that you sho u ld h ave t h e w h o le publication be yoy. It was p u bli s h e d i n t h e n ewspaper of the arisoner on the 13th May, and I think, from some por tions of it, that Mr. 'Mitchel himself is front the North af Ireland. (Tne At . orney-General then read the letter.) Now, gentlemen, I come to th a t portion of this letter which really a n d plainly expresses the obj: cts and inten tions of the prisoner throughout the entire of these pubb cations. I theught it nec e ssary to read the preceding part of this letter, le s t it s h ou ld b e s upposed, because emitted it, that there was anything contained in it cal culated to lessen its effect, or give a different meaning to the remainder which I am now about to read. In 'teed, I think that the part I have already read, plainly -hows that there is no advantage to be derived from " our foreign connexion. " tueannig, " the lady or wife of Prince Albert." The letter then proceeds us follows: " I tell you, frankly, that I, for one, an? not' loyal.' I am not wedded to the Queen of England, 'nor un alterably- attached to the Ho use o f Brunswick. . Its fact, I love my own barn better than I love that house. The 'line is long past when Jehovah anointed Kings. The thing has long since grown a mo..strous imposture, an d has been already in some civiliseci, countries, detected us such, and drummed out accordingly.. A modern king, my friends, is no more like au ancient anointed Shep herd of the people, than an Archbishop's apron is like the Urim and Thunitnim. There is no divine right now but 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 rare consuming us like a plague, degrading us to paupers in mind. body, and estate —y es , making our very souls beggarly and ;cowardly. Th ey are a failure and a frauJ, these institutions—from the you, will Court you put u topmost 'crown. j ew el to the me anes t detective's note. book, there is no soundn ess in them. God and man are weary of them. Their la st hour is at hand ; and I thank this God that I live in th e da y s when I shall witness the utter downfal, and trample u p on the g rave of the most portentous, the grandest , m eanest, and cruell est tyranny that ever deformed this world. meaning,W po h n at that g to your jury-box ? lie says, " he that "h he is not loyal," e is not wedded to the Q ueen of England, nor unalterably attached to the House of Brunswick." Doe s that mean that if he is able be w ill ge t rid of the paragraph, e n tI e alwehnt:n m ay you I retireasfrom Queen of England and the House of Brunswick ? He also says, " that the time is long since past since Jehovah anointed kings —the thing has long since grown a monstrous i mposture, and has been already, in s ome 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 Wes 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 weaning 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 inunfination when I ask you not to put any forced construe ion on his language, but to translate and receive it litendly as it is written? He says—" Not tending to a local ltgislatute—not to a return to our ancient constitution—not a golden link, or a patchwork Parliament, or a College_.treen chapel of ease to St. Stephen's ; 'but an Irisle republic, one and i n di v i s ibl e ." 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 r public 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; m y arms. Thus, and not otherwise, have ever nations of men sprung to liberty and power, Etc. &c." Mr. Mitchel avows for his object an Irish republic, one and indivisible'; he has avowed hii means For' procu ring 1 that republiC, by " appearing in arum ., He has also - Or•'• ( ,c -- . , • ~ 2- • .

The Clerk oL Crown, then Je, stated that the 'jury were to try whether John Mitchel was guilty or not guilty of the charge on which he was put forward, and that the verdict was guilty. Baron LEFROY then looked over the indictment, and said—We have called on this case first this morning in order to give time if there should be, either on the part of the prisoner or of the Crown, any application to be made to the Court relating to it. It is, therefore, that we have had the case called on first, and we shall 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 ernuaoelled even according to the law of England. I bare been found guilty by a packed jury obtained by a juggle—a jury nut empanelled by a sheriff, but by a juggler. The Ilion SHERIFF—My Lord, I claim the protection of the Court. Mr. Mitchel —That is the reason I object to sentence being passed on me. &trim LEFROY—That impuation upon the conduct of the sheriff I miot pronounce to be most unwarranted and unfounded. I state this, not on my own opinion alone, but on the opinion o f two i n d ifferent gentlemen on their oaths, who were chosen and appointed to exa mine into the matter, and who have declared shut the panel was au impartial panel, fairly obtained and formed. On their oaths they have found it to be sp. Therefore the sheriff, far from being subject to the im putation cast upou 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 iu by nay urother Judge—that a person of your condition should stand at the ear under the circumstances you do. You have been found g - ,•;lty on the indictment charging you with feloniously- c....npassing, 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 oy publishing certain writings in a public newspaper, published by y ou, and called the United Irishman. There are other counts on which you have been also found guilty. You have been found guilty of the felo nious intent and purpose of iutendiug to levy war against the Queen, tor the purpose of compelling her by force and constraint to change her measures stud councils; and that those felonious intents and purposes were mani tesied in publications put forward iu yoot own name 411 the same newspaper. These are the charges for which you were put. on your trial, and for which yoqhsve been found The evidence was furnished by yourself is pub ltcattuns coining out of your own hands, deliberate liod//.. lications, issued at intervals of time which gave you ull leisure . and opportunity to consider what you were about, and to reflect upon what might be the conse quence of your acts. The case turned upon the meaning iud interpretation of those publications. The meaning and intention was clearly furnishal by yourself, an I came from yourself, just as the publications themselv The meaning and intent was collected from the langua ge of the publications themselves, not confined to one, but to be collected from the succe,sive 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 justifttrd in calling it the verdict of a packed jury, and thus uu puling perjury to twelve of your countrymen, deliberate and wilful perjury— Mr. Mitchel—No, my Lord, I did not impute perjury 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 —I did. Pisron LEFROY—I shall make no further observation upon that, but I owe it to the . jury to state , . that upon the evid ence furnished thu t s he by yourself, juror, who had the s li g h test regard to e!, th he had ta ken, could, by possibil ity , come to a different conclusion. What ground of doubt was even suggested with respect to the effect of the publication by yourself, or with respect to the interpretation and meaning these publications. As I ob , .erved, not even your own able o Ise: was able to suggest a doubt er a meaning different from what is justice, e apology 3 imputed to them. No, not even to suggest which could be attended to in a court t apology amounting to this, that you had a right to vie! iate the g law. Well, then, w i t h t h e verdict establishin your guilt of the offence s t ate d upon t h e lace of this in dictment, even yourself cannot fairly quarrel ; and now what is the nature of the Aimee of which you have been :build guilty ? If not the greatest off'uce, it is near akin to the greatest offs nee which any subject can be guilty of towards his sovereign, or towards his country. By the law of lingllnti. up to a bite period, the offence you have been found guilty ut was high treason. At the present nionteitt, both in England anti Ireland, it is a treasonable felony ; and I cannot but hope that, not withstauding 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 s, quences, the awful results to wnich that course must :a necessity have led, ii it had nut been checked in its progress. Surely, apr ,visional gpvernineut taken front a howling 'non—:cutely a practical enforcement of your arguments, enforced byieLloo,oo pikes, must have been, ,treaded with ntetei. deeolating - J-util to your country: well, -- tben, independently of the nature of this crime, look at the circutestances connected with it. I will not, go into any extraneous eireumweners, but look at the ter cinustauces which were brought before the Court. and to which we cuu.d out shut our eyes, cenneciid with this offence. It originated in a speech. Well, great allow ance might be math, for a speech delivered under ex-. citement, and though the time and place were bad 4 chosen, upuu an occasion where excitement would do more mischief; perhspi, than upon a more sober occar.ion. If it even rested upon that, there might be great allow_ and great apology. But, after time for deliberation, you ,houghs fit to pub jsh that speech, so full of exciting and objectionable matter, so charged with these telouious cotnpassings and intentions which are stated in the in dictment. Yuu thought fit to publish it., to take away from it all apology ut momentary excitement, to take away from it all apology of limited effect. You put it itito 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 disiinction between 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 much has been lately sai i, 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 toe 6th of May, and the second of the 13th, this observation arises—that whatever pos sible mitieation might arise from the tenor of the first, ur 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 ts—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 bad 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 secund 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, th e property justly bt.longing to others, or wi t h• 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 —et 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 defence, we desire—aud I especially desire it to be understood—that the obser vations I am about to make, and in which lam folldw ing up some of the o'uservations in the charge of my ; , :::?; -4 -- Learned Brother, in every word of which I concur—=in -lw the observations that I am about to make on the ' ieof it defence that was adopted, I make them not to eg , sate in the least the punishment which it may be, _pjr, ikty to impose, any more than it aggravated the case bilore the jary. But I make these observations resikteting am line of defence that was taken, in order to mark its irrelevancy, and with a viewthat the Court may not appear to acquiesce in that line of defence. We felt it our duty not to put a stop to it, bat to interpose with a view of reprobating and checking it, as a lino of defence which, in oar 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 publication—no effort Made to show that you were not guilty of the defence imputed to you by the indictment; but a line of defence A wait taken, which not only implicitly but eirretaly S f , r.

And the effort necessary for that simple act of sel-preservation will at one and the same blow prostrate British dominion, and landlordism toge ther. 'Tis 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? Tne 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 '9B 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 Lordi your unalterable attachment to'' our ve• nerabie institutions.' " JOHN MITCHEL " p A r f oced te e rsebdmteosay—This, further s hrisem, gentlemen, ark i s the not a trial of LearnedGeiitlei r an e larceny, where the question is—did a particular person steal this or that thing? It is a trial f)r 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 man 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 politieal 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. trust that you are men who will honestly and fairly discharge the very important duty which you have been empanneled to discharge. Mr. HoLDIES rose to address the jury for the defence at a quarter past twelve o'clock. He said—May it please your L irdships, 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 ieel 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 eomplaiu of, and that is the conclusioti. *4; de. .n 4 ; think he was war ranted in stating in 'ails court wh i at % , in;tructions he, or those connected with him, received from the Chief Governor of this courrtYy with respect to the striking-a the Jury-; I thiuk- she -Crown aboul4 ~ ever know anything of striking juries—not a word —ur give any instructions on the subject; for, if tho 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..IIoLSIES—I may be mistaken, and would be very sorry to misinterpret anything said; but I wisunder• stood that you intimated y our instructions from the Lord Lieutenant. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL — MOSt certainly not. Mr. HoLSIES—Then I am mistaken. That is quite sufficient. Baron LEFROY-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. Howies—Well, my Lords and Gentlemen, I may be mistaken iu 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 impaitial jury, had not in all instances done so, particularly with respect to Ro man Catholics. That issue was raised and queA 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 dismiss it. In this case, gentlemen, the prisoner, John Mitchel, stands charged with two dietinet offences —and it is somewhat remark able that, in support of those two distinct offences —the same identical evidence is given to support both. The Attorney-General will be very well sati.fied, re) doubt, if you give your verdict on both or either charges, or for anything, like the foreman of the grand jury who found the bill=. 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 l ty o f sedit i on. " " Gentlemen ," said the officer of the court, " he is 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." " Oh, no matter to us," said the foreman, " sedition, treason, or telony, it is all the same to us," and so with the Attorney- General, if you convict the prisoner, that is all that he wants. Gentlemen, as the Court will tell you, the quesion 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. Th e fi rst charge is, " that he compassed, imagined, invented, devised, or intended to deprive, or depose, our most gracious Sovereign the Q,ieen 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 hend 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 thelife 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 epose hi-r "from the style, honour, or Royal name of the Imperial Crown of the United King dom." If Mr. Mitchell was indicted upon another section of this statute, for "intimidating both or either Houses 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 theirish 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 section of the article, which declares—" that from the Ist of January, 1801, the kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland shat; 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 staud depriving her "of the style, honour. and royal name," as laid in this indictment. NI, hat the depriva tion is I cannot comprehend, therefore I cannot under stand thischs ese agaixt the prisoner. What is the . other charge ?. It. is " advising or . intending to levy war against her "Majesty, her" heirs-otimecewsors; living pirt of the United ,Kingdom, by force or o°4- . straint, to compel her to change her measures or coun cils." What measures ? What councils ? Is there the slightest evidence here as to w hat measures or councils these publications purported to change? Are 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 are the prisoner wants to change I cannot understand ? What have been the measures of thi, 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 advisinr 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 let 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 h ave followed the Act of Parliament, but they have no t p roved that Mr. Mitchel has tried to levy war against the .Queen—" to compel her by constraint to change her measures or councils." I put it to your Lordships that, un d e r this Act, unless the Crown prove a specific measure or council that the pri soner wanted to have changed by th ese p ublications, is entitled to an acquittal; and, therefor e, I a pp l y m y self further to the case—i would wish to ha ve y our Lord ships' the jury. If y our L 9 rdships do not wish to in terfere at opinion on the subject as to what i s to be left to this ß stage of th e t r i a l, I wiil, of course, proceed— . itrou LEFROY—Whatever the charge is, appears on gs t i nou b a dr e mtwfe uiisresnfle_ni instance, record, he does oi and ecsh n o t h t the Court i yw ohuMii life?II gentlemen Will r e f: il : e L l.

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. HOLMES—I 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 ju::- dee 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. i s anemnasll b a d ve d enslaved expressions uswi,l, ortntruse3l transported u notst oeArd Mr. HuLMES—The Act of Parliament under which Mr. Mitchel stood at the bar does not prescribe one punishment—it might be for two years' imprisonment, or seven years' transportation, or transportation for Tile —and if there should be a verdict of conviction, it is not important to show all the circumstances of the case,arni 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 rot myself is quite necessary for his defence. My client may be guilty of felony, but I say it broadly and boldi), that England is the cause of the offence of which he is accused, and I will demonstrate it. I care not by w hal 1 means you have been empanelled. I address you tit - cause I bkeve you totre . -honest men and fatthful -isi.- men.

When ono country Makes laws fur another , country (and that 1 4 :ngliin:: in making laws for Ireland, I will demon strate, by which - Ireland is enslaved), the country which makes the laws is abiOlutely 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 be will not be suspected or accused of being ton much in favour of popular rights, he says :—" It follows from the nature and constitution of a dependent state, hat England should make laws fur Ireland"— (treating Ireland as a conquered country)—" conquereci, planted, and governed by England, it might be neces nary that it should be subject to such laws as the su peri,r 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. IIi.:NN replied on the part of the Crown. _ _ Justice MoORE proceeded to charge the jury. The jury than, 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, :At.d inquired of the High SheritTif the jury hart agreed? Ile replied in the negative, and by the direction of 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 mg the court for an hintr, and swore in special bailiff: , 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 im two more policemen and another bailiff, in order to station one in a yard from which the jury might be communicated with, and the:other two were required the better to guard against the least probability or tampering with the jury. The additional s. ntinels 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 the excitement 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 umber of Mr. Mitchel's friends were, was cleared by the police, and two of the body was stationed at either side of it. Shortly afterwards (ten minutes to seven o'clock), '.he jury re-entered their box. The silence at this 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—How say you, gentlemen, guilty or not guilty. Foreman--Guilty. Baron LEPROY (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 dad the bench. Baron LEFROY said he was surprised to see gentlemen of the bar thus violating the order of the Court. Mr. Mitchel was then reconducted by a private pas sage to Newgate, and the Court was adjourned to eleven o'clock this mcruing, when it is supposed the sentence will be pronounced. A great concourse of persons assembled in Capel street, and it became necessary for the horse and foot poli ce t o assem b le an d f orm i nto a soli d line, to remove them quietly and orderly, which was done without any commotion save the shouts and yells of a few boys. The police were on the alert during the evening to prevent disturbance, and every necessary arrangement was made to check and restrain any violation of the peace. SENTENCE OF TRANSPORTATION ON MITCHEL. _ SATURDAY, MAY 2i.—At five minutes after eleven, the Judges, Baron Lefroy and Mr. Justice Moore, took their seats on the bench. Clerk of the Crown—Gaoler, put forward John Mit chel. Mr. Mitchel was here placed at the bar, where he stood in a cairn and firm attitude. He was warmly shaken by the hand by his friends who were about the bar. While his friends were thus occupied, „ Ltruoy called out in a peremptory tone , Ivoep order in court." Sir COLMAN O'LoGHLEN, then addressingl the Court, your Lordships have no objection we wotkl wish to have the verdict of the jury read by the Clerk of the Crown.
