A meeting took place, for I heard and I saw, And what do you fancy this meeting was for? Why the meeting, from all I could gather, was one To decide on the merits of MOSES and SON. The excellent Chairman, Sound Judgment, Esquire, Haying said a few words with regard to attire, Mr. Shoulders, a man of respectable note, Wished to make a remark or, his WAISTCOAT AND COAT. "I thick," said the speaker, "you all ought to view My Waistcoat, my Coat, and my Overcoat, too. I ought to speak warmly of MOSES," said he, .When I see the warin garments they've furnished to me." With tit's Mr. Legs, arose on his pegs, And declare , ' he considered himself the mere dregs. " My sabject," said he, " you're aware, Is my TROWSERS, That, alas! as 'o speaking, I cannot tell how, Sirs; Par the speaker's so bad, and the TroWsers' so good. That I cannot praise MOSES and SON as I would." Mr. Head next arose from the place where he sat, And delivered an eloquent spsceh on his HAT. " I am sure, Mr Chairman." said he. " that I'm right, In pronouncing it stylish, elastic, and light. To the Hat-mart of MOSES and SON I'll adhere A* staunchly as ever!" (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") This speaker was foll , wed by one Mr. Foe, Who lire with a dignified stamp on his BOOT. • I am certain," said he, that I'm true in declaring The Roots Made by MOSES unequalled for wearing; They are matchless in quarters, in sole, and in vamp." And hero Mr. Foot gave another loud stamp. Then the Chairman arose, and was happy to find The whole of the speakers so much of a mind. " And." said he, "on behalf of the ladles, good Sirs, I feel it my duty to speak of the FURS. If I did not pronounce them the best you could wear, I consider I should not he fit for the chair ; And remember the very low prices you pay. For these, and for all that you've mentioned to-day. I trust that the whole of the journals, as one, Will rep •rt wh a t we've sa id o f E. MOSES and SON."

" No. 408, Piccadilly, London, October 19, 1847. " Sir,—lt is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced me to try all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. During one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIEt'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, •bserving that he had in some severe cases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since which I have had no return of the complaint. " I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity may know how to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease. " I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, " MICHAEL NASMYTII." The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the head and face, and all analogous complaints. The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S' GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have secured to therm a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, but re store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of tie. They are equally speedy and certain in lu mba g o, sciatica, pains in the head or face, and indeed in every rheumatic or gouty affection : in fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect case, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it ; and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom but contains many grateful evidences of its benign influence. Sold by Thomas Front, 229, Strand, London, and, by his appoint ment, by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box. Ask for BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, and observe the name and address of " Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London," im pressed upon the Government Stamp affixed to each box of the Genuine Medicine.

One half the werid are desolately single, and the ether supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em ..itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un cornprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health sheuld form au liens In the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect weund more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Furthermore, two other attic publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How te be Happy." They are net merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's "fe, who ewes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and te keep always on the " sunny side of the way."

LOVE is the leading feeling of the human breast. More exalted than mere passion, it sears high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, oe but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from i its influence, er can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fulfilment •f every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation oC early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of Important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable I Loving and beloved, he entails th e most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. These desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory informatien in the little work entitled SELF-PRESERVATION , illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the reproductive orgaits ; wills practical observa- Cons •za the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, excesses, or infection. By SAMUEL LAILERT, M.D., Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member •f the University of Edinburgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Mall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Sce. This treatise is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and much neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob tained the highest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat ment of these diseases. 11.EVItW OF Till WeitK. La'Mert en the Infirmitiesof Teuth and Maturity.—" There are scenes it the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf into which such scenes must plunge him 1 In the book before vs such s. monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths or philosephy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically - and morally, spun all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and propriety.

The contracting parties may be said to be only on the very threshold of arrangements, as the interests they have to consider and uphold require that every step and propo sition should be weighed and viewed on all sides before being taken or adopted. This, however, we may state, that though amalgamation, as some of our contempora ries, shooting in the dark, have hinted at, is absolutely out of the question, yet a friendly'combination, ton the most extensive scale, having all the force and value of amalgamation, may be looked forward to. At all events we may hazard a prediction that henceforward a death blow will be given to those costly contests which have proved the source of so much lasting mischief to the railway interest, and such a prolifi c nest - egg toclasses who h ave no sympathies in com mon w i t h industrial enterprise.

DUBLIN, SATURDAY.—The Clonmel Chronicle of Friday says— " The Special Commission at Clonmel will not close till all the political prisoners shall have been tried. The Attorney-General leaves town to-morrow night for Dublin, to conduct the prosecution against Duffy and the other State prisoners for trial there. Crown summonses were served here this morning and yesterday, upon per sons required to give evidence against Duffy. The Soli citor-General will conduct the prosecution for the Crown, in the cases of the State prisoners for trial in Clonmel." MAIL COMMUNICATION WITH ENGLAND. A correspondence is in progress between the Dublin Chamber of Commerce and the Postmaster- General, respecting the inconvenience of the present mail communication between Dublin and England, via Holyhead and Liverpool. The Chamber of Com merce object particularly to the departure of the Liverpool mail at so early an hour in the afternoon as four o'clock, and they also draw attention to the in convenience of the Holyhead route, the mail steamer being dispatched from Kingstown at half-past eleven A.M., only three hours after the departure of the steamer belonging to the Chester and Holyhead Com pany. The Mercantile Advertiser contains the last letter from the Chamber of Commerce to the Post master-General, dated October 13, which concludes as follows : " On the strong objections which exist to the pr esen t arrangement your Lordship has beeninformed. " Your Lordship has been apprised that all the banks, the custom-house, and nearly all the public offices, close at three o'clock, rendering the previous hours amongst the busiest of the day, and rendering it extremely diffi cult, and in some cases impossible, to make that business the subject of letters which are now required to be posted at the receiving-houses throughout the city before three o'clock, and at the General Post• office before half past three, or until forty minuts past three, on pay ment of a fee of sixpence in addition to the postage on each letter. "Your Lordship has also been informed that the mail for Liverpool is not required solely for correspondence with London, but is at present essential to the impor tant communication with the manufacturing districts of England, and that this correspondence is seriously im peded by the existing regulation. " That the letters for Belfast, which do not arrive in Dublin until a quarter before' five o'clock, and which wore formally forwarded vie Liverpool w h en th a t ma il was dispatched at half-past six, are now wholly excluded from a mail dispatched at half -past four. " That the letters from Cork, which do not arrive in Dublin until twenty minutes past three, cannot, as for merly, be delivered in time to permit of any communica tion arising out of them being made yid Liverpool, &c., although Cork being the port of call' for vessels arriving for orders, it is highly important that such communica tion should not be delayed. " The Chamber of Commerce refrain from trespassing on your Lordship's attention by a detail of minor incon veniences; nor need they refer to transactions which occurred in 1846, except to point out to your Lordship than when an alteration in the dispatch of the Liverpool mail, similar to that now complained of, was made in a similar manner, that is, made by the authorities in London, without any communication whatsoever with those locally formed in Dublin, it was found necessary almost immediately to annul that arrangement, and to adopt the regulation which has since existed. " Your Lordship is possibly not aware that the recent alteration in the dispatch of the Liverpool mail was not made at the request or on the suggestion of the bankers, merchants, or traders of Dublin, or, so far as can be ascertained, on that of any portion of the community interested in the postal communication between Great Britain and Ireland; that no effort appears to have been made by the Post-office authorities to consult the wishes or elicit the opinion of those whose interests and con venience were most likely to be affected; nor was any intimation whatsoever given of the arrangement until the Post-office authorities in London notified, by public ad vertisement, that it was completed, and it would be car ried into effect at an early and specified day. This course of proceeding, with reference to the interests of the citi zens of Dublin, the Chamber of Commerce deeply regret; they are led to believe that it is not in accordance with the course usually adopted, where the similar interests of important towns in Great Britain are affected, and must have been adopted in forgetfulness of the assurance contained in the Postmaster-General's letter of the 25th March last, that in consequence of a letter which his Lordship had then repently received from the Secretary of the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company, ho was unable to afford any definite information as to the course h e would be prepared to pursue (when the Holyhead line would be opened), but that h o would not fa i l to com municate further with the Chamber of Commerce upon the subject as soon as his arrangements were finally , decided. Hopin g:for your Lo r d s hi p ' s favoura bl e consi deration of the suggestions offered and relief from the inconvenience consequent on the too early dispatch of the Liverpool mail, 1 have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship'! most obedient servant, CHARLES HALIDAY, Hon. Sec. e T o the Host Noble the Marquis of Clanricarde, Postmaster-General. &c. &c., London.' OPENING OF THE DUBLIN COMMISSION. The commission was opened at the Court-houFse, Green-street, this day. The presiding judges were Mr. Justice Torrens and Mr. Justice Crampton, who were accompanied by the Lord Mayor and other con,' porate officers. The grand juries for the county and city having been sworn, Judge TORRENS, in a ddresing the city grand jury, said it became his duty to call their attention to the du ties they were imperatively called upon to perform, and to instruct them as to the state of the calendar, and make such observations as he might deem just in the performance of his duty. In the first place, he had to tell them that, notwithstanding the calendayrp,rien sented crimes affecting the state of society, et consequence of proceedings which had taken place at the last commission, they would not be called upon to ex amine into evidence affecting those serious cases. H e spoke from the records of the city, in which ho found that at the last commission there were four persons charged with the serious offences to which ho alluded. Three of those four persons were Charles Gavan Duffy, Ri chard D. Williams, Kevin Izod O'Doberty, who were charged with felony for publishing certain seditious writings in newspapers. Ono of th ose persons the Nation anti,Tribune was tried at the last oommission, under bills of indict ment found by their predecessors, and on that subject any further explanations which the Court could give would be quite unnecessary. Bills of indictment having been found by a former grand jury against those persons, it was not necessary that new bills should be sent up on the present occasion in the cases of Williams and O'Doherty. The third case was that of Charles Gavan Duffy, against whom bills had been already found, for the publication of certain seditious writings in the Nation newspaper; and upon being arraigned, and called upon to plead, he put in a plea, in which the Crown joined issue, so that, bills having been found by their predeces sors, the present grand jury were relieved from the con sideration of those three serious cases. Respecting the other cases on the calendar, with the exception of ont 2 , he found them of the ordinary nature which frequently occur in the metropolis, and being such he found it un necessary to draw their attention to any but the one h e had alluded to. That case, too, was connected viith political subjects, which had been before the Court, a n d which, in another place, was now under inquiry. The case to which he alluded had reference to the wounding of a policeman, with intent to kill, and murder. He had looked into the informations, whi c h , RAILWAY SHARE MARKET S . LIVERPOOL, Our. 21.

RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST. The extreme depression which has lately affected the whole of the railway property of the kingdom has sot the directors of the ♦arious companies at work in pre paring statements of their affairs, to prove to their shareholders and the public that there is no real ground existing for the depression. The directors of the Brigh ton Company have been the first to issue their skite ment, in which they say:— " In the present depressed state of railway property, it appears to the directors to be a duty towards the pro prietors to adopt any legitimate means of restoring con fidence. For this purpose, they believe that a perfect understanding of the actual state of the company's af fairs is the first requisite. " The total capital authorised to be raised by the Acts of the Brighton Railway Company is 7,490,8051. " The total amount of capital raised up to the is Jan. 1849, will be, as nearly as possible 6,955,0001., Consisting of 1. Loan capital (1,631,2981., at date of last half-yearly report, since reduced by the proceeds of the Six per Cent. Stock ap plied in extinction of debt) ... 2. Preference share capital, viz.:— Five per Cents. Six per Cents. ... 3. Ordinary share capital ... 1,303,000 ... 644,000 ... 393,000 ... 4,615,000 £6,955,000 " The future expenditure requisite to close the capital account, by the completion of the different works in progress is so limited, and most of the contracts aro so tar advanced, that the following estimate is given with a high degree of certainty that it will not be exceeded, unless the increase of traffic should be so considerable as to require an amount of accommodation not at present foreseen. 1. Arrears of accounts for works, land, &c., on lines already opened ... , 2. Further expenditure to complete lines and works in progress, viz.:— The Hailsharn and Eastbourne and Thames Junction Branch, the Brick layers' Arms and Portsmouth Stations, and materials ordered (turn-tables, cranes, sleepers, &c.) 68,090 3. Engines ordered, coke ovens, carriage sheds, improvement of Brighton Sta tion, &c. ... £63,300 ... 70,000 £202,100 Or say, including all contingencies, 240,000/. ‘• The only remaining item is the enlargement of the London-bridge station, the amount of which cannot be precisely ascertained, but it is confidently believed that in any eve nt the estimate of 150,0001., given by the com mittee of i nvestigation in May last, will not be exceeded. Taking it at this figure, the, extreme limit of further capital required to close the capital account will be 390,0001., against which must be set about 145,0001. of available assets, consisting of 60,000/ to be paid by the South-Western Railway Company for the purchase of a joint interest in the line into Portsmouth; 15,0001. due from the steam packet company; 32,0001. of calls in arrears, surplus land, engines to be resold, atmospheric materials, &e. This leaves 245,0001. of additional capital, which will be required during the next two years. As the existing shares of the company are all fully called up (with the exception of a final call of 1/ on the six per cent. preference shares, appropriated to paying off loans), this additional capita l must be raised, either by the creation of fresh shares or by loan, for both of which sufficient powers are contained in the company's Acts. The directors fully expect to be able to raise the requi site amount wit hout the necessity of creating fresh shares. In this case the final capital of the company will consist of 7,200,0001., via:— „, L 1,548,000 1. Loan capital 2. Share capital entitled to preferential di vidend ... ••• ..• ..• 3. Ordinary share capital ... ... 1,037,000 ... 4,615,000 £7,200,000 other The o u a r C e t e ll s al o f receipts e e , f forthe t the e o m fi p r satn half-year al f from -ye a t r r a o ffi f c 1 , 878 d , next margin for the contingencies of traffic during the 0 0 ; t t h o e b er year, t the e l y B4 hr t e h e b y e e m n a l y 6B h 0 ,35 e 0 s and tv ; atvd fwo with h t h a e whole slight two months, at 450,0001. The expenses of every sort for the first half-year amounted to 90,226/. The ex penses for the present half-year will not, as far as the directors are able at present to ascertain, much exceed those of the first half-year, notwithstanding the larger amount of traffic ; and on the whole they feel confident that the total expenditure of the year 1848 will not exceed 190,0001. This would leave a nett income of about 260,0001., being equivalent to a nett return of nearly 4 per cent. on the whole productive capital which has earned revenue, or of about 31. 10s. per cent. per annum on the ordinary share capital, after providing for interest and preferential dividend. Witk re gard to the probable future return, when the whole ca pital of 7,200,0001. is expended, it is thought better not to go into any speculative estimate. Some of the pro prietors may have seen an estimate lately given in the London Weekly Railway Share List, published under the authority of the Committee of the Stock Exchange, by which it is made to appear that a gross annual traffic of 609,3401., or at the rate of 11,718/. per week, would be required to pay a dividend of 4 per cent on the share capital. This estimate is altogether erroneous, for the following reasons:— " 1. The working expenses are assumed to amount to 274,203/. per annum, whereas the actual working ex penses for the year 1848 will be under 190,0004 The mistake arises from assuming that the ratio of ex penditure to receipt will be the same as it was for the first half-year of 1848, or 45 per cent.; while, in point of fact, the high ratio of expenditure to receipt for the first half-year, when the traffic is small, is counterbalanced by the lower ratio of the second half-year, when the traffic is large; and the general average of the year will only be about 41 per cent. Any es ti ma t e of expenditure by per tentage is, however, quite fallacious, since by far the greater part of the expenses are fixed, and do not increase in propor tion with an increase in traffic, as is shown by the fact above stated, that the ratio of expenditure to receipt on an average traffic of 7,5004 per week, during the first half-year, is 45 per cent., while on an average traffic of 10,0001. per week, during the second half. year, the ratio is only about 38 per cent. A traffic of 11,700/. per week might be carried on with ease by ten trains daily each way between Brighton and London in summer, and eight in the winter (the number now running), and, therefore, the additional expenditure would be compara tively small. " 2. The total ultimate capital is assumed to be 7,440,930/. being 240,0001. in access of what has been already given as the real amount ; and the present amount of loan and preferential capital is stated as 2,737,4541., instead of 2 , 3 40.0001., which is the actual figure, from overlook ing the facts that only 393,0001. of guaranteed 6 per cent. stock has been issued instead of 461,8551., and that this amount is not a creation of new capital, but in substitution for an equal amount of loan capital. " 3. The rate of interest on the whole of the loan ca pital is assumed to be 5i per cent. This appears un reasonable, looking at the fact that the present average rate of interest paid by the company is only about 4i per cent., and that only 125,0001. of the debt falls due up to the beginning of 1850. " Irrespective, howev er , o f any question ris to the rate of interest, which may bo a matter of opinion, the positive errors under the first two heads would di minish tho net sum available fur dividend by an amount which may be safely stated as at least equira- OCTOBER 23 , 1848 . Bus' _ •-. were very voluminous, in which Michael Moran, John Joieph Moran, and John M'Cormick, were charged with the offence he had stated, and if the jury were satisfied of their identity they would have little difficulty in finding true bills. He had but ono only observation more to make with reference to the cases on the part of the Crown. The law officers of the Crown were, in another place, discharging their public duty' and it might happen at a future time, during the sitting of the commission, they (the grand jury) might be called upon to receive from the Court such instructions as the law officers of the Crown shonld think proper to submit; but, unless such a circumstance should arise, they would proceed in the ordinary way to consider the cases that would be brought before them. The Learned JUDGE, in addressing the county grand jury, merely referred to the closing observations he had addressed to the city grand jury, and, concluded by stating that some bills would be sent up to them against persons charged with having arms in their pos session without license, and they would consider in how far the charges against these persons came nnder the provisions of the Act. The Court, shortly after, proceeded with the trial of prisoners. Until the arrival of the Attorney-General from Clonmel, the trials of Mr. Gavan Duffy and the other parties charged with felony will notltake.place. Nothing in the shape of public interest was mani fested respecting the proceedings at this commission, although it was known that the prosecutions against Messrs. Duffy, Williams, and:O'Doherty were pending. As stated by Mr. Justice Torrens, the bills for felony against those persons were found at the last commis sion, so that the Crown can proceed at once with the trials, without the intervention of the!present grend jury. It is quite possible, howeveNthat the Attorney-General (who is expected in town from Clonmel on Monday) may send up fresh bills of indictment in the case of Mr. Duffy; but at present the only charge against him is founded upon the indictment under the Treason relony Act. THE LORD LIEUTENANT. Saunders' News Letter says:— " We understand that his Excellency the Earl of Clarendon, on his visit to London, will receive at the hands of her Majesty the ribbon of the Order of the Garter, vacant by the death of the late Earl of Carlisle. His Excellency's stay in England will not extend be yond a few days." It is stated very confidently here that the Earl of Clarendon is to be raised to the dignity of a Marquis„ THE SPECIAL COMMISSION. falsehood never existed, nor outside " Gil Blas" did they ever hear the history of such a man, who, on every occa sion, and in every employment, seemed to have delighted in acting the eharacter of a spy, and inventing the basest falsehoods. They would recollect that he swore, on the first trial, that Mr. Meagher was present at the meeting on the 19th of July. On the present occasion he con tradicted himself, and as to the " Red-hand Club," of which they had heard so much, he would produce a wit ness who would prove he never knew such a man as Dobbin was elected a representative to the council, al though he was present every evening. Suppose the thirty men, to whom he alluded, and whose fate de pended on the present trial, were going to be hanged, and they said, " Pray, Mr. Attorney-General, what have we done?" Oh, he should reply, " You were levy ing war against the Queen." " Levying war against the Queen; why, we were poking our parlour fire in Dublin." Yes; but certain persons were levying war down in Tipperary, and you were constructively guilty of the same act, would be the reply. Well, then, the thirty unfortunate men might properly say, " If we are found guilty of constructive treason, let us be construc tively hanged."—(A laugh.) The statute of Edward 111. enacted, in as plain words as could be, that levying of war should be actual, and open in the field. But words were made eonstructive treason by bad decisions and corrupt judges. It was done in the reign of that most pure, virtuous, patriotic, high-minded Sove reign, Charles ll.—(Laughter)—by half-a-dozen men, who resolved that a few men getting into a corner and whispering something together, formed a conspiracy, and was to be held as high treason. That was a law which the present Lord Chief Justice of England told a jury they should rather perish in the box than act upon it, and so he (Mr. Whiteside) would also say, that if he were on that jury he would rather perish than find the prisoner at the bar guilty of high treason under such circumstances. The Learned Counsel next referred to the evidence of the policemen who deposed to the speeches made at Enniscorthy on the 24th of July. By the Treason Felony Act the exact words spoken must be deposed to by two witnesses, but in that of high treason, as in the present case, the evidence of policemen was given, who reported words and speeches, and the jury were to convict his client upon such testimony. If there were to be any safety for life—if there be any good ex pected for their country—let them not believe such evi dence—let them not convict a young and ardent man for high treason because in a moment of excitement he made speeches on which ho never intended to act. What said Lord Erskine—the brightest ornament of the English Bar, and a man when on the Bench who left an example to those who follow him in the judgment-seat —what said he of that description of evidence ? " But let us first examine," he said in the celebrated case of Horife Tooke, "in what manner this matter, such as it is, was recorded. He preferred to speak from notes, yet I observed him frequently looking up to the ceiling whilst he was speaking, when I said to him Are you now speaking from a note ; have you got any note of what you are now saying?' Ho answered—Oh 1 no, this is from recollection. Good God Almighty ! recollection mixing itself with notes in a case of high treason. He did not even take down the words ; nor, to do the man justice, he did not affect to have taken the words—but only the substance, as he himself expressed it. Oh I excellent evidence. The substance of words taken down by a spy, and supplied when defective from his memory ?" They then pursued his unfortunate client from Enniscorthy to Graig, and so on to Callan, Nine-mile House, and on to Carrick. There they had witnesses deposing to such language as, the" grass rising in one rapid sway."—(A laugh.) One man sunk the fire-ship, and another brought it up from the depths of the sea—(Laughter)—for the purposes of that prosecution. The Learned Counsel next proceeded to comment on the evidence of the police who deposed to the speeches, and continued—that was the evidence of the Crown on that part of the case. His Learned Friend the Solicitor-General was a man of honour and a gentle man, and he would watch to see if he would ask them for a verdict on such testimony. He knew he would not ; for nothing worse was done in the worst days of the Stuarts, nor in that fearful record of crime— the State Trials of England. Were they to send a young man to the scaffold on such reports of speeches as were given in evidence? It was in the power of the jury, no doubt, to do so—the prisoner at the bar was in their power, but if they convicted him they would shed innocent blood. For his own part, a worse case than the present he had never heard of or read, even in the worst days of the state trials. He contended that had his client been tried by twelve Englishmen in England, his acquittal was certain. Ho (Mr. Whiteside) never felt so much pain in his life as when he heard from a member of this bar, much his senior, that had Arthur O'Connor been tried in Ireland, instead of England, he must have been convicted. He would have been overwhelmed, he said, in Ireland by a load of prejudice, which the sober, good sense of England would have rejected, and found guilty of high treason. A priest named Quigly was found in his company, with whom treasonable papers were got, but an English jury refused to convict him, because they held he was not responsible for the acts and conduct of another. The principal evidence in the present case was that of spies; and what said their brilliant countryman (Burke) on that description of per sons.—" A mercenary inrorwei ,"‘. distinction. Under such a system the obnoxious people are slaves, not only to the Government, but they live at the mercy of every individual—they are at once the slaves of the whole community, and of every part of it, and the worst and most unmerciful men are those on whose goodness they most depend. Is this situation men not wily shrink from the frowns of a stern magis trate, but are obliged to fly from their very species. The seeds of destruction are sown in civil intercourse and in social habitudes. The blood of wholesome kindred is infected—the tables and beds are surrounded with snares. All the means given by Providence to make life safe and comfortable are perverted into instruments of terror and torment. This species of universal subserviency, that makes the very servant who waits behind your chair the arbiter of your life and for tune, has such a tendency to degrade and abuse man kind, and to deprive them of that assured and liberal state of mind which alone can make us what we ought to be, that I vow to God I would sooner bring myself to put a man to immediate death for opinions I disliked, and so to get rid of the man and his opinions at once, than to fret him with a feverish being,• tainted with tho gaol distemper of a contagious servitude to keep him above ground, an animated mass of putrefaction, corrupted himself and corrupting all about him." Tho Learned Gentleman next referred to the transactions at Ballingarry, and thus concluded : To sum up my argument, let me ask fearlessly, has the Crown established to a demonstration that the prisoner levied war against the Queen? Directly he did not. From a participation in each and all of the overt acts laid in the indictment he is free as the child unborn. This the Learned Counsel for the Crown confesses. The ad mission ought to startle the jury into the most watchful attention to each step in the process by which the pri soner is argued into the crime of treason. Mr. Smith O'Brien and others levied a constructive war against the Queen, and the prisoner is asserted to have been constructively present at the levying of constructive war. The prisoner, through the agency of several per sons whom he did not see, with whom he did not speak, nor corresponded, from Monday to Friday evening, was all the while levying war against her Majesty, and by construction is present, although physically and men tally absent. You are to find, by your verdict, ho was constructively present, aiding those who were construe , tively levying war against the Queen. He is to suffer a most horrid death, on the ground of the acts of others with whom he was neither directly or indirectly con nected. This was the doctrine which baffled the cons ' prehension of ordinary minds; the lawyer establishes by vague words a tissue of assumptions. Compelled to admit words are not treason, nor overt acts of levying war, he converts the speeches into acts, and says the prisoner is guilty, not by words, but words which he calls acts. This is a grand step in the process of making out a constructive crime, evading or misstating the whole of the law of treason. The framers of the statute of Edward would stand aghast at this demolition of their glorious work. Moreover, these guilty words are to be received as evidence which would scarcely be listened to in a common action for sl an d er . Thi s constructive levying of const ruc ti ve war i s proved by cumulative evident* of equivocal speeches, and which, though deemed sufficient in cases of life and death, would not be received in cases of felony under the statute of Victoria. This is the perfection of reason —a lesser sla!gree of evidence required in the more serious case. Assume there was a council of war, next assume that this impli e d an intention to levy a particu lar' war in a particular place, neither being named or specified, and nothing specific being mentioned as to time or place, wherever or whenever the outbreak may happen, those ignorant of the time, place, circumstances, and actors, who never instigated the perpetration of any of the acts charged, are said to be rebels—are guilty, not merely o f t h e conspiracy, but of the fact of levying war in the open field. This makes our law of treason an abominable imposture, for it enables a prosecutor to pretermit the charge which might be sustained for conspiracy, and to charge a man with the doing of a number of facts, of any one of which he is wholly innocent. The rational view of the matter would be, to consider the man who conspired to levy war guilty of the conspiracy when indicted for that crime, and when his guilt was established by two witnesses to that crime, and to con sider those who levied war guilty of that fact when shown that they did actually levy war in the field. The course taken here is, to confound the distinction between armies, and reason and justice alike. A plain violation of the statute of Edward tho Third this is, and the vio lation is justified on most suspicious authority. Accord ing to the construction we contend for, every man is guilty of this offence who, in the words of the old statutes, levies war, or who incites others or a multi tude, to do the treasonable acts of which he is accused. This is sensible. The opposite view is a contrivance to sacrifice human life on a quibble. But, at all events, the foundation of the accusation is, that some conspiracy or other to levy war has been proved. It is really the sub stance of the charge, and without clear proof to demon stration of this conspiracy the acts of strangers would not bind the prisoner. Now, the case should be re garded by the jury as if the prisoner was actually n dieted for the conspiracy, his real crime, if any ; or, if he were so indicted, two witnesses would be essential to convict him. But the jury hereimust be satisfieclawith TRIAL OF MR. MEAGHER. CLONMEL, OCT. 20.—Atihesiiiini — OF the Court this morning Mr. Whiteside resumed his brilliant and powerful speech on behalf of theiprisoner. It was a splendid piece ofeloquence, especially towards the close,:and,created a great sensation in court. The Learned Gentleman commenced by saying that on the previous evening he had referred to the charge made against his client, for sympathising with the French revolution. Now what was the fact ? That in England, after the first French revolution, meeting on meeting was got up, addresses adopted and presented to the people of that country, some of which contained expressions of a most objec tionable nature, and yet a jury refused to convict pri soners charged with high treason. He should next call their attention to the evidence of Dobbin. They must, however, bear in mind that, had Mr. Meagher been indicted for a conspiracy, two witnesses were necessary, and yet, in every instance, where an important fact was to be proved in this case, there was only ono witness. Let them compare the statements made now with those of that man on a former occasion. Let them examine how far he was corrobo rated by circumstances; and after doing so, their duty will be to decide as their own fate shall be adjudged in another world. He said, the jury should recollect that he never spoke at any of their meetings—that they used to meet in a small room on Constitution-hill to read newspapers. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to read the evidence of Dobbin, and continuedt—He had thus given them a faithful transcript of his evidence, and they would see the additions he made to his testimony formerly given. In the first place, he never said a word about the Convention Act; ho did not say a syllable of the arrangement that three should be a quorum; and other things, of which they had not heard a word on the former trials. They would bear in mind that the lives of thirty persons were at stake on the evidence of such a man who had so con ducted himself. What was the meaning of the oath a man took when examined in a court of justice? He swears to tell the whole truth; and yet, in this instance, this man not only gives a totally different version of it, bat adds circumstances of which they never heard, and substitutes names and persons at his pleasure. The whole thirty men who acted at the council forfeited their lives according to the argument of the Attorney-General; but he (Mr. Whiteside) would ask the jury, did they ever see treason so slovenly committed as it was by them, according to the testimony of that man? What corrobo ration was there that the council which he described was a war council? 'There was 'ten t ,-tsooording to the state ment of the Attorney-General; and then they had the evidence of a man like him on a charge which should bring his client, if convicted, to the scaffold. The At- ' torney-General not only said that his evidence could ' not be corroborated, but, in addition, that it was not in his power to do so. Why not sum mon all the persons in the outer room, many of whose names could be supplied by Dobbin? They could have been sworn on the table, and merely state, without convicting themselves, that Dobbin was present on the 21st of July. Besides, every ono knew where the meeting was hold ; it was notorious to all the citi zens of Dublin that the place was I)'Olier-street ; and why, he should ask, was not the detective produced, who was on the watch on that evening ? That they could have done so no man can doubt, for the attention of the Government was directed at this time to the clubs, and this council in particular, and every one knew that. Mr. Meagher's person was well known to every detective in Dublin. No human being was summoned to prove that that meeting was held, and if it had been held, there is no doubt whatever that every man who went there was watched by the police. What evidence had they that Dobbin himself was present but his own ? A policeman was produced to prove his having seen hint go into the room occupied by the " Red Hand Club" on a particular evening, and yet there's no one to show that ho was in D'Olier-street on the 21st of July. Besides, what evidence had they that Mr. Meagher was present either, except of that man who was a notorious spy? Mr. Meagher was a public man, his person was well known to the Government; he, an eloquent speaker, in the habit of addressing the clubs, the Government were watching him, and yet not a human being is found to prove his presence at that meeting whose testimony would or could be believed by a jury. Ho remembered having read once that the only way to preserve the liberties of a country was for every man to look upon an aggression of another man's rights as if it were on his own, and that was the position in which the jury were placed in regard to ' Mr. Meagher. Would they like to have their lives placed at the mercy of a man who scrupled not to tell everything that came into his head, and was totally un corroborated by a single witness ? He should now come to the balloting papers found in the possession of Mr. Lalor. They would remember that those papers were kept since that time, not by his esteemed friend Mr. Kemmis, the Crown solicitor, but by Mr. Reding ton, the Under Secretary of State, who sent them to him on the evening previous to the opening of the Commis sion. Why was not Mr. Redington produced? He had the custody of those papers since they were discovered, and would have explained to them if any alterations wore made, but he was not brought forward. He was no doubt an Under Secretary of State, but in the eye of the law not more than a police-constable —aye, not better than police-constable Premier himself. What would the jury think if those papers were to be kept in police constable Prender's possession, the associate and companion of the immaculate Dobbin? On those papers the handwriting of Dobbin himself was no doubt proved by an attorney's clerk, but ho was not corroborated in any other particular; nor did they ask Mr. O'Hara, when he was on the table for another purpose, if Mr. Dillon's handwriting was to a single paper. They called up a Mr. Sharman, also, a solicitor, who proved Mr. Meagher's handwriting to a letter, and yet they did not ask him a word as to his vrritieg on the balloting papers, although Dobbin proved that he (Meagher) was present, and voted. Dobbin swore also that no clergymen were to be on the council; he stated that they resolved not to do it before the election commenced, and yet these men, who were going steadily to overthrow the state, did that In one mo ment what they resolved; on another not to do. Dobbin said that there was an equality of votes for Lalor and Reilly in the first instance, but a greater falsehood was never uttered in a court of justice. His story was, that two scrutineers were appointed; that, on examining the papers, there was an equality of votes. But what was the fact? Reilly was elected by a majority of eight, the numbers being, eighteen for one man and ten for another. Of course the jury would hear the explanation of that fact to be given by Mr. Solicitor- General, but in his opinion it was impossible to do so. Then l9t them look at the account Dubbin gave of him self. He began as a schoolmaster in Ballyshannon, but the school was soon shut up. Then he became a collec tor for a newspaper, and lost the subscriptions.—(A laugh.) Next, as a Protestant, he feigned to be a Romaa Catholic, under what he calls a delusion.—(A laugle) He was under no delusion; be was ti hypocrite of 'at norse character than even a spy. He said ho was a Catholic for the purposo of obtaining a situation, and t , len becomes an Orangeman when the delusion ceases.-- (A laugh)—or rather when ho cannot get a situation. They next found him in the Custom -house docks in Dublin, threatening to dismiss his employer for al lowing men to drink wine; and again, lie was de voted to the position of carrying a chain for a sur veyor.—(A laugh.) From that position he goes into Mr. Griffith's office, where the secret of a for gery was reposed in his immaculate breast —(A laugh)—which he keeps for six months, although he knew his employer was robbed of 651. They next found him in England, and finally returned to this happy land, where many a man made his fortune as a spy, and is found in the Poor-law-office, telling a respectable gen tleman that he was about to be assassinated!

Is one witni nongh to convict crf / ctive 4 when twoyould ke required to convict of a direct Will th e jury permit the accred, by a const rue . be deprived of every benefit which the law con because he is not indicted for his true crime, if any? )posing the jury may be argued into the pro priety of convicting on the testimony of a single witness, it was not surely too much to expect, if, indeed, tho voice of reason will be heard, that such single witness be of unimpeachable honour and in tegrity. To strip a prisoner of the benefit of two witnesses, which the law requires to prove an overt act in Ireland, is harsh enough, but instead of two good witnesses, to be satisfied with the dishonest evidence of an uncorroborated spy, would be the acme of injustice. Was Dobbin a spy ? Was he consistent?—was he con firmed in substantial particulars? Unquestionably not. Would such a doubtfnl witness suffice to induce a jury to take away human life, when in reality two veracious witnesses should be properly produced? Do not thus fritter away the noblest statute upon our books. A single witness and a spy to establish guilt beyond a doubt in high treason, divested the subject of all protection, and prostrated the virtuous at the feet of the vicious. No treasonable acts have been proved against the prisoner. • The actings or acts of others are only evidence when you believe the prisoner's conspiracy to have ibeen established, but you cannot prove what must be established by independent proof. Thus the whole case hinged on the evidence of an uncorroborated spy. Awful would be the responsibility of the jury which would touch human life on such evi dence. Justice forbade it. Take your stand upon the ancient law of England, it breathes the spirit of liberty and reason. Do not depart one iota from that blessed enactment, sanctified by the wisdom of antiquity, and bottomed on immutable justice. The lives or liberties of your fellow-subjects are now confided to your watchful care. It is not enough that you should be incorruptibles you must be unassailable by sophistry, inaccessible to prejudice, resolved in maintaining in its full perfection that law of which you are now the guardians. Can you be satisfied beyond a doubt that the prisoner levied war against the Queen ? Im possible. If not convinced t o d emonstrat i on an acquittal is his right. A mistake would be fatal. Should a thing so dreadful be hereafter discovered, you would be tortured through life with a vain remorse, and your consciences terrified at the hour of death. In the sacred name of justice I demand the acquittal of the prisoner. You see him scarcely entered on the race of life, with every prospect of a happy and a bright career. Ardent in feelings, of generous aspirations, gifted with impassioned eloquence—and urged on by a vehement love of country—his indiscretions have been free from meanness, selfishness, hypocrisy, and false hood. His desire to restore a local Parliament may be visionary, but it was rational, and sprung from the noblest feelings that can warm or animate the heart of man. I declare emphatically my belief that upon such shreds of evidence as you have heard—if tried in England—his acquittal would be certain. Discrimi nate then between guilt and innocence, judge him by his own conduct, and a conviction for this crime is impos sible. The proceedings of this commission—the con stituency of the country—the very prejudices pressing; upon the prisoner, are all, with honourable minds, so many additional reasons for the extremest caution in listening to the proof of words, nothing but words, to establish treason. I have to tell you this—that an honest verdict of acquittal will be hailed with delight by all reflecting men, and by your countrymen through out the wide world with gratitude--and, better still, it will receive the lasting approbation of the impartial monitor within. Your posterity will remem ber and bless your names, it will be said of you that empanelled in a time of unparalleled excitement, you had done justice temperately, wisely, reconciling many to the law who had doubts of its impartiality and firm ness—that you had refused to listen to sophistry, and would not convict your fellow-creatures on conjecture, or guess that you had struck down the odious doctrine of constructive treason, and restored the law to the noble simplicity in which it was fashioned by, a free and virtuous ancestry. May that law—not a web of sophistries, quibbles, and constructions—but a law of of broad reason, be perpetual as the greatness whence it sprung, and may the free constitution it defends flourish in unbroken splendour until that dread day in which we have been taught to believe this fabric of nature must be dissolved in eternal ashes ! Mr. WMITESIDE was quite exhaused at the close ot hie address, which ended at about half-past one, and on this occasion even surpassed his effort on behalf of 0 Brien. The evidence for the defence was then called. The first witness deposed to being a member of the Red Hand Club, and being acquainted with Dobbin. He was a member before Dobbin, and swore that neither Dobbi►.t nor any one else had ever been appointed a delegate from the club, under any circumstances, and none of the club had ever been armed. Mr. Kirwan, the solicitor for Mr. Meagher, then de. posed that he had examined the balloting papers for - the council of war, and though Dobbin had stated that Mr. D. Reilly and Mr. Lalor had an equality of votes, the numbers, according to the papers, were—for Mr. Reilly 16, and for Mr. Lalor 10, and this o❑ the first ballot. Similar evidence to that in the case of O'Donohoe was then given, showing that Mr. Meagher, on the day of the attack at Widow Cormack's, was some miles distant, and could not have been there. After a short adjournment, Mr. Butt followed on the same side as Mr. Whiteside, on whose speech he passed a high culogium. lie necessarily passed over the same ground as on this and previous trials. His speech was able and argumentative, and had not concluded at half, past seven, when he prayed the indulgence of an ad journment, which the Court refused, till Mr. Meagher implored them to do so as an act of justice to his coun sel. The verdict will probably be given late to-morrow night. The Commission will continua its sittings ott Monday. urch..4 will be the next prisoner tried. THE VERDICT. CLONMEL, SATURDAY ETEXING. Mr. BUTT having concluded his speech, Lord Chief Justice BLacicntraNE then informed Mr. Meagher that if he wished to say anything, this was the time. Mr. Meagher replied—No, my Lord; I will say n o . thing. I have committed my case to counsel whose abilities and genius I am satisfied with, and who have said all I could wish. After a short adjournment, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL replied on behalf of the Crown. Lord Chief Justice BLACKBURNE then summed up, during which he read the evidence of Dobbin verbatim, and told the jury that they must be the sole judges of hi• veracity. . _ _ The jury retired, and at a quarter to eight returned into court with a verdict of Guilty against T. F. Meagher, strongly recommending him to mercy, on account of his [ADVERTISEMENT.] —The Cholera—How to P re . vent—by Holloway'sills.—Thousands of lives may be spared by adopting the following precautionary means .

SUSPENSION OF THE WORKS AT THE NSll' PALACE AT ESTNINSTER.—For several weeks past consider— able excitement has prevailed amongst the workmen, and those dependant on them, as to the course that would be adopted by the contractors, Messrs. Peto and Co., with regard to those workmen who continued their work, and had refused to recognise the mischievous strike of the masons.On Saturday, however, in conse quence of the continuation of the strike, the contractors discharged a large body of the men engaged on tho works, to the number of 200, in addition to a much larger number gradually discharged during the pre ceding weeks; and it is to be regretted, it was stated, that the remainder of the men employed on the works. to the number of upwards of 800, would be discharged on Saturday evening next, and that the works would be entirely stopped during the winter. CLASHING OF THE CORONERS' AND MAGISTRATES' CounTs.—On Saturday Mr. Waklcy, summoned a jury at the Duke of Wellington, Brighton-street, Cromer-street, New , roadO Rot inquire into the death of Harriet May, aged three years. Previous to the jury being sworn, Mr. Wakley inquired of his summoning officer whether the witnesses were in attendance ? The officer replied that they were not, in consequence of de ceased's mother and aunt having been arrested under a charge of having caused deceased's death. The wit nesses were, therefore, compelled to attend the police offit!o at that very moment. The coroner and jury depre cated this clashing of the two courts, and, after some very severe remarks by the jury upon the subject, the coroner adjourned the inquiry to another day.
