A MEETING of the "MEMBERS" of a MOST IMPORTANT "BODY." A meeting took place, for I heard and I saw, And what do you fancy this meeting was fir 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, Having said a few words with regard to attire. Mr Shoulders, a man of respectable note, Wished to make a remark on his WAISTCOAT AND COAT. "I think," said the speaker, "you all ought to view My Waistcoat, ray Coat, and my Overcoat, too. I ought to speak warmly of MOSES," said he, " When I see tke warm garments they've furnished to me." With tit's Mr. Legs, arose on his pegs, And declared he considered himself the mere dregs. " My subject," said he, " you're aware, is my TROWSERS, But, alas! as :o speaking, I cannot tell how, Sirs; For the speaker's so bad, and the Trowsers' so good, That I cannot praise NtOSES and SON . as I would." Mr. Head next arose from the place where he sat, And delivered an eloquent speech 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. Foot, Who rose with a dignified stamp on his BOOT. " I am certain," said he, that I'm true in declaring The Booth made by MOSES unequalled for wearing; They are matchless in quarters, in sole, and in vamp." And here 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 ladies, good SirS, I feel it my duty to speak of the FURS. If I did net pronounce them the best yen could wear, I consider I should not be 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 what we've said of E. MOSES and SON." " Hear, hear," said the whole of the gentlemen there, And the business was coned with thanks to the chair. E. MOSES and SON lavae especial attenti•n to their Shooting- Coats, which possess a peculiar cut and style, adding much comfort in the It. E.

Thousands of the unmarried would with joy embrace the sacred conditions of Matrimony, did they feel themselves equal to its obligations; and the chequered page of life reveals innumerable instanc s where, under that blighting consciousness, man has permitted the most ardent affec tion to consume him to the grave, rather than consign its object to that life of unmitigable anguish and fettered solitariness into which his affianced would be plunged if he married. Some are, however, wilful enough to gain the affections of the other sex under these circumstances; and, though not se villanous' as to proceed to the altar, will make such excuses for procrastination as contribute to his selfish desire of exclusively enjoying her society, by precluding her from accepting other offers. There is scarcely a street where this history is not enacted ; and yet with the exercise of common foresight, its frequency might be so lessened as to ren der an instance rare throughout the entire kingdom. The disqualifications fir Marriage have mere than ens printery seurce ; the chief of which is Impuissance, arising from four causes :—namely, Natural Deficiency ; the Prostration produced by Early Habits ; the Weakening effects of Later Excesses ; and Nervousness of Tempera ment ; the next sources of importance are hereditary and acquired disease ; and, lastly, men are prevented from marrying by the effects of disease—which, when ill-cured, leaves traces that forbid all im pulse towards wedlock. In each of these instances it is unhappily too common for the sufferer to consider his case beyond remedy, and he fails to consult even his own medical attendant. Such will find all obstacles removed by reference to a valuable Manual on Nervous Debility and Generative diseases, the thirty-seventh thousand of which has just been published by its Authors, J. L. CURTIS and CO., Consulting Surgeons, 7, Frith-street, Seho-square, London, entitled MANHOOD ; the Causes if its Premature Decline, with Plain Directions fir Perfect Restoration, ice., &c.

More exalted than mere passion, it sears high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambit on. No man is exempt from its influence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity Itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most thin4s, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consumma , ion 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 of 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 of 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 the 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 ulafleyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. These desirous of i nvesti g atin g it will find the fullest and most satisfactory in f o r m ation in the little work entitl e d SELF-PRESERVATION, 1 . 1 . 1 e l s tra diseasest ed ) y offortthyocorleopurroeadueent reproductive v o l r n z e a s . o it on the w anatomy,ithpractical physiology, observa tions en the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting frona Solitary habits, excesses, or infection.

This is a new and patented inveati•n, which might perhaps be better described as the wade mecum to the traveller by railway or steam-packet. It also maintains the Registered Paletot's character AS a fashionable morning or out-door Coat by a general resemblance to this r ()pular garment. The chief improvement consists in a con trivance called a Chlamys, a name gives to an extra lining, which affords additional warmth to the chest and shoulders when worn in the street or on horseback in the usual manner of a Paletot ; but when it is intended to be used as a CIILANIYS PALETOT in tra velling, this extra lining, by merely fixing one button into a button hole, can be wade to act as a comfortable cap or hood, effectually protecting the head, ears, neck, and froat, •r upper parts of the chest front draughts or cold carrents of air. Not only will the probability of catching cold be diminished, but travelling by night will thus be divested of its chief inconvenience, as the wegrer •f NICOLL'S CIILAMYS PALETOT may enjoy a re freshing sleep, his hat or cap being hung up la the carriage or en tirely dispensed with during the journey, thus avoiding headache and other uneasy sensations caused by its compression upon the forehead.

Wilson, Chemist, Moak Bar, York, " To Mr. Thomas Prout, " 14th June, 1147. "Sig,—Having suffered most drea'lfully for the last six years from repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatio Pills. When I commenced taking-them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the roost intense agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in the morning comparatively free from pain ; and before I had finished the box. I never was better in my life: they have not only entirely removed the gout, but have also very vouch improved my general health I have since recommended them to four individuals, who have suffered much from gout and rheumatism • and t!•ey all epeak highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your wonderffil medicine, 3ou are at perfect liberty to publish it. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " J. J. WILSON." The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and certain relief. They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or otter vital part. Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

A It It I A G E. .v.g One half the wsprid are desolately single, and the other opposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a 'ense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em sitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea sf caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un .somprosiag harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry shoald net be the only marriage set dement. Honour and justice demand that health should form au item i n th e compact; It alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er n eglect wenn,' more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Much excitement prevailed in the streets, and suppressed murmurs of sorrow and awe ran through the crowd of spectators assembled about the Court House. The police kept back the multitude with fixed bayonets, and in a short time all had dis appeared. CLOSE OF THE COMMISSION. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, addressing their Lord ships, said—My Lords, in consequence of the length of time the commission has lasted, the onerous duties discharged by those engaged in these trials, and the protracted attendance of jurors from distant parts o f tontheof presentthe A t s t i o t rt sittings.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—It may be, my Lord, so 3 f , u t r i o n t h y t e e o r r u l t a r l will your Lordships say Tuesday, Dec 5 ? Chief Justice BLACKBURNE—Let the Court be adjourned to Tuesday, Dec. 5. Mr. MEAGHER called the attention of Judge Moore to the case cited by him in his charge to the jury by whom Mr. O'Donolioe was tried—namely, that of the Earl of Southampton, in order to show that it was charged as matter of fact that he was aware of the treasonable intent of the Earl of Essex. Justice MooaE said that he cited the authority of Lord Hale, in whose opinion Lord Mansfield and Chief Justice Bayley concurred. He would, how ever, examine the authorities, and see whether what Chief Justice Hale had so unequivocally laid down was the law. Mr. -MEAGHER said that he Could not expect more from his Lordship, and would be quite satisfied with his judgment after he had referred to the authorities. Mr. BuTT, Q.C., threw out Hot Justice Foster Lod. shaken the authority of Lord Hale. Justice AlooßE said that he li:x1 looked in Foster's book with the view of seeing if he had dote so, hut it did not appear to him that the passage contravened the authority of Lord Hale. lie might have drawn a wrong conclusion, but the law could not be more clearly laid down than by Lord Hale, who was the highest authority upon the subject. The commission was then formally adjourned to Tuesday, the sth of December next. THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. We have received Cape of Good Hope papers to the 15th of August, which fully coslfirm the state ment regarding the capitulation entered into betwecri Pretorious and Major Warden, the British Resident at Blom Fontein, by which the latter consented•to withdraw beyond the Orange River, thereby sur rendering the Queen's authority to that portion of the colony over which he had presided. Thc- following official details,, with other particulars, will be read with interest : (From the Graham's Town Journal.) Our readers will be prepared, from the communi cations insert( d in our last number, to learn that all British rule beyond the Orange River had for the present ceased to exist—the three magistrates who had been stationed there having been forcibly expelled by the rebellious Boers. It now appears that Major Warden, on his return to Bloem Fontein, after having so narrowly escaped being made a prisoner, proceeded to make his little post in some way defensible, at the same time dis patching Mr. Rex to the Boer's camp to ascertain their ulterior object. Whilst waiting for his re turn a letter, of which we subjoin a copy, was received from Fretorius, Major Warden learning from the bearer that Mr. Rex was detained a prisoner. He refused to give any reply until he was released. This was acquiesced in, and Mr. Rex reports that the Boers' leger cr camp was within two miles of Bloem Fontein ; that it consisted of about 1,200 men ; that all communication with the colony was cut off, and that all attempt at resistance was useless. Major Warden thus having no alternative, proceeded to treat, and the terms given below were agreed upon. Illustrated by 26 Anatomical Coloarad Engravings on Steel.

As we have been true and sworn friends to each other, and that for five years; and whereas Sir Harry Smith is obstinate as regards the majority being on our side, I consider it my duty to shed as little blood as possible—l shall therefore give you one hour to consider whether you will give up this country, or whether lam to take it from you by force. Many parts of the country have been purchased by the emigrant farmers from the natives, and which natives do not feel at all disposed to come under British rule —I 'have for the accomplishment of this object brought with me into the field only ono thousand of the many thousands of my ready and willing people. (Signed) A. W. PRETOKIUS, Comdt. Gen. Bloem Fontein, July 17, 1848. At the conference held this day in front of the vil lage of Bloem Fontein with Mr. Pretorious, Com mandant- General of the Emigrant Farmers, the Bri tish Resident and Commandant-General entered into the following engagement, viz.:- 1. That the troops and inhabitants of Bloem Fon .. tein shall evacuate the village in two days from this date, via., on the 20th instant, taking with them all moveable public and private property of every de.- scription, and proceed to Colesberg, five or six wag gons (or as many more as may be procurable) being furnished for that purpose by Mr. Pretorius. 2. That the British resident will inform the native tribes of the arrangement entered into between him self and Emigrant Farmers, with the hope of prevent ing a collision between them. 3. That the Civil Commissioner or Caledon, Mr. O'Reilly, is guaranteed a free exit to the colony, on the same terms as the British Resident. 4. That Mr. Pretorius will, in the meantime, with draw his force from the immediate neighbourhood of L Bloem Fontein. 5. That in the event of sufficient transport not being obtainable for the removal of all the property of storekeepers and others, within the time above specified, Mr. Pretorius will guarantee their being allowed to remove it at their convenience, and without molestation. 6.

Extract of a letter from Burgher's Dorp, dated 25th • Mr. 'O'Reilly has been compelled to yield, and has retired with his family to the farm of Mr. Adam Gilfil. lan on the Stormberg Spruit." Our: communication with the front and with Kafir land has been totally interrupted this week, owing to the heavy rains which fell on Saturday and Sun da/last. The march of the troops has been greatly impeded. Those that left this place on Wednesday are still on this side of the Fish River, and owing to the non arrival of the usual posts, we are not aware whether these from Kafirland have as yet been enabled to cross the Konap River, as nothing effective can take place until the arrival of this adcfition to • the small force already at Colesberg Mortar MARHET.—The , premium on gold at Paris is 14 per milk, which, at the English Mint price of 3/ 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25.50; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.45, it follows that gold is 0.20 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advises from Hamburgh the price of gold is 437 ppr mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 104 d. p=r ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.11; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short heitig 13.104, it follows that gold is 0.11 per cent. dearer in Hamburgn than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London is 109 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.58 per cent. aga inst England; but the quoted exchange at New York Lcing, for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. A FAVOURED LOl/rm.—The affair of Bruce, who was murdered, and found by the aid of a clairvoyant, ac cording to the account, induced a young married man. who was on a visit in the city, to call on one of these seers, and ascertain in what occupation his wife was engaged at her residence, some ninety miles away. " She is sitting in the parlour," said the lady, " and every once in a while she looks oat of the window, as if expecting some one." " Strange," said the gentleman, " who can sho expect?" " Some one ent, , rs th 3 door. She seizes him, and caresses him fondly." "It can't be! it's all a hoax; my wife is true to me," interrupted the gentleman, nettled and worried by the green-eyed monster. "Now he lays his head on her lap, and looks tenderly into her eyes." "I swear that is false, and I'd make you pay dearly for this slander."

The \Tye, res erve , was towed from her moorin gs op posite the west end of Woolwich Dockyard, and is now stationed alongside th e U n i t e , for the purpose o f having the cholera cases which may subsequently occur kept separate front the other patients. The number of cases of cholera on board the Unitis hospital ship up to twelve o'clock to-day has been forty-three, two new cases yes terday, and three to-day; fourteen discharged as reco vered; ten convalescent, and thirteen fatal. Captain Fitzroy, acting superintendent of the Woolwich Dock yard, deserves great credit for his exertions to place the convicts formerly in the Justitia in a more healthy loca lity than they previously occupied, and Lieutenant Ro bertson was most active in superintending their removal to the Hebe and Sulphur hulks, opposite the dockyard; but the inhabitants of the town are very dissatisfied, as now cases have si nce occurred, and intend petitioning that they should be removed further down the river than they formerly were. About one hundred of the healthy convicts formerly on board the Justitia have been taken to the Royal Arsenal to work there to-day, and will be taken back in boats to the fiche in the evening. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The Admiralty Dockyard Committee of Re'rision re. turned to Portsmouth from the Admiralty on Monda) morning, and continue to sit daily at the Admiral Super. intendent'e office. It was rumoured yesterday at Portsmouth that the situation of assistant master attendant had been abo lished, and that in future the masters of the Victory and Illustrious are to do that duty, receiving each additional pay of 601. per annum. APPOINTMENTS. Mates—G. A. W. Welsh, to the Powerful, $4, at Spithead; Clement C. Day, to the Vengeance, 84, in the Mediterranean. Midshipmen—Charles Atkins, to the Fisgard, flag ship, at Woolwich; George H.:Broadhead, to the Ven geance; Murray T. Parks, to the Kingfisher, 12, fitting at Portsmouth; Rchs.rd Morris, to the Fisgard, flag ship, at Woolwich; Lord Guillarnore, to the Victory, flag-ship, at Portsmouth; George R. Bell, to the Driver, steam-sloop, at Portsmouth, Masters' Assistants—William Long, to the Medina, steam-packet, fitting at Woolwich; J. G. N. Millett, to the St. Vincent, 120, flag-ship, at Spithead. Naval Cadet—The Hon. John B. Vivian, to the Victory. Gunner—Philip Yoe, to the Rifleman. THE SHIPS AT SPITHEAD.—The St. Vincent, 120, Captain S. C. llacres, with the Rag of Rear-Admiral Sir C. Napier, K.C.8., is reported ready for sea. When she will go, and where she will be ordered, or whether she will go at all, is at present uncertain. She is kept quite ready. The Prince Regent, 92, Captain W. F. Martin, is changing her armament, and will be ready for sea so soon as that is completed. The increase of her arma ment is net of that extent as to require so many addi tional men as anticipated; and it is net likely that she will at present have any increase to her complement. At any rate, it is considered that 850—that is, an addi tion of 30 marine artillery—would be an ample: propor tionate increase. The Powerful, 84, Captain the lion. R. S. Dundas, C. 8., commenced entering her additional complement yesterday, but there does not seem to be any hurry about it; she is not expected to go to sea be fore the middle of next month. She will enter 15 subor dinate officers, 30 petty officers, 186 seamen, 18 first class, and five second-class boys. CAPE or GOOD HOPE.—By private letters from Simon's Bay, down to August 15, we find that the Ad miral had not arrived there from the Mauritius. The Eurydice, 26, Captain T. V. Anson, remained, the Gal lint Captain carrying on the duties of the dockyard and port. The Nimrod, 16, Commander Belgian, had arrived from St. Helena and her cruise. SUPPLY OF COALS AT MADEIRA..---TllO Dee, Royal Mail Steam-packet Company's vessel, left Madeira on the 26th instant, having completed her quantity of fuel in the short space of six hours. That the private es tablishment of Mr. Blaudy, at this was enabled, in an open roadstead, to ship through a surf 100 tons in six hours, is a gratifying exhibition in a foreign island of what a British merchant can effect to forward the in terests connected with steam navigation. We believe that the home ports of Woolwich or Portsmouth seldom equal the shipment of 100 tons of coals in six hours. THE SCREW-SOLIOONERS.—The Reynard, $, Com mander Cracroft, will not ba refitted for sea, at Ports mouth, before the 10th of November. The Plumper is preparing to be tried with :the Reynard. She went under the sheers yesterday, and received her anchors. The Admiralty have censured the carelessness at Wool wich in casting the defective screw for this vessel. The Sharpshooter (iron), Lieutenant-Commander Bailey, ar rived at Portsmouth from Woolwich on Monday, at 11.22 A.M., and went into harbour. The Rifleman (wood), Lieutenant-Commander Crofton, is there fitting for trial. La Hogue, 56, steam guard ship at Sheerness, is to have the midship part of the orlop beams and carlings in the hold removed, and iron ones substituted. The Arrogant, 46, screw-frigate, is ordered to be re moved from Woolwich to the basin at Deptford, to be fitted. . . --..--- The Dauntless, 24, screw-frigate, at Portsmouth, is not to have her stern altered for the present. . . The Niger, screw-sloop at Woolwich, will ba ready for further trial by the 26th inst. The Driver, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Johnson, re turned to Portsmouth from the chops of the Channel, the wind having shifted to the westward, and went into harbour yesterday morning. In consequence of com munication by the electric telegraph, she again hoisted the blue peter and is ready for sea. Her destination is not known, but it is supposed that she will convey the Irish political convicts to some place of transportation. The Driver looked in at Plymouth in coming up the Channel. The Styx, steam-sloop, requiring such extensive re pairs, has been ordered to Deptford to have them taken in hand. The Stromboli, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Lord A. Beauclerk, will not be out of the hands of the engineers of Portsmouth before the 11th, and of the shipwrights by the 15th November. The Janus, steam - sloop , 7at Woolwich, is ordered to have the masts, rigging, and stores already provided for her, put into proper condition and placed on hoard. The Vesuvius, steam-sloop, at Woolwich, is ordered to have the defects in her hull and machinery repaired. The Medina, 3, steam-packet, Lieutenant-Commander A. Darby, is ordered to have a complement of sixty-five officers and men, and is to be ready to leave Woolwich for the Mediterranean by the first week in November. She will be out of the hands of the engineers and shipwrights by the Ist of next month. The Teazer, 3, screw gun-vessel, Lieutenant,Com mender Jasper Selwyn, commissioned at Woolwich for sea service, is ordered to have a complement of thirty five officers and men. She will be out of the hands of the dockyard and engineers by the 31st instant. The Llewellyn, Holyhead steam-packet, Master-Com mander Gray, will have the accident to her cylinder repaired by the contractors, Messrs. Miller, Ravenhill, and Co., by about the Ist of December. This vessel, when on the Holyhead station, ran the distance across in three hours and a half ; and the Banshee, we be lieve, has done it even within five minutes less time than this. The Garland, 1, Dover steam-packet, Master-Com mander Smithett, now at Woolwich, is not to have her new boilers now; but the old ones are to be patched and repaired, and by lowering the pressure on the valves she is to work them some time longer. She will be ready to leave Woolwich by the 29th. The Myrmidon, whose boilers have been worn out, although she has not been 100 days under steam since sho was built, is to have her defective boilers removed, and new ones to be substituted. The defects in machinery and hull are ordered to bo tinkered up again without delay. The Rhadamanthus, 2, steam-transport, Master Com mander Aylen, and the Alban, steam-transport, Master Commander Bradshaw, remain on the coast of Ireland as floating barracks for the battalion of marines, the former having 318 on board, off Waterford, and the latter with 82, lying off Bantry. All is quiet i❑ that quarter—the men were constantly employed in shell practice. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—A rather curious accident, completely unavoidable, happened to-day. The Lyre ington, passage -steamer, a vessel somewhat less in size than the Ryde, passage-steamer, was coming out of Portsmouth Harbour, close in to Blockhouse beach, a strong ebb tide was running, a wherry with, fortunately, only one waterman, was coming into the harbour, and was keeping close under Blockhouse Point. Both ves sel and boat cleared the point at the same time, and the latter was completely severed in two. Fortunately the steamer was low, so that the boatman was enabled to get hold of her gunnel rnd jump on board, much to the sur prise of the captain of the steamer, for so suddenly did the steamer and boat come in contact, that so soon as the wherry was seen she was run over. The boat was towed into harbour in two parts. FIVE P.M.—Wind, westerly, moderate breszea, with dark cloudy weather. THE CHOLERA AT MALTA.—The regulations with regard to the fumigation of letters, &c., are most strictly enforced at Naples. The Bull-dog steam-sloop, we learn, by advices just received, has been sent from M site to Naples with the letters for Sir Willism Parker's fleet just taken out by the mail, hut that every letter, paper, or parcel, was cut open in the most careful mariner and taken to the health house ashore, as the cholera was known to hare broken out at Malta. The Bull-dog was placed in quarantine on her arrival. The bests of the ships of the fleet were sent to the health-ofrice for the letters after they had been subjected to the usual pro cess.

IRELAND. THE TRIALS AT CLONtIEL. DUBLIN, TUESDAY.—It will be seen by the follow ing report, that sentence of death was yesterday passed upon Messrs. M‘Manus, O'Donohoe, and aeagher, after which the commission adjourned to the sth of December next. Tfie speeches of the ill fated convicts are deeply interesting. The time for carrying into effect the executions on O'Brien, M'Manus, O'Donohoe, and Meagher, were yesterday entered in the judge's book, but it was not announced to any of the parties most deeply interested. A communication was made to Orchard, Tyne, M'Donnell, and the other peasants, against whom bills for treason had been found, that if they pleaded guilty :a mitigated punishment would be inflicted upon them. Their attorney intimated that if the sentence were only 18 months' imprisonment, they would ,withdraw their plea of not guilty ; if, however, the Crown insisted upon " transportation," his clients were resolved to take their chance of a trial. They would not even join in their challenges. The Attorney-General declined this, and they will be tried at the adjourned commission, to be held in December next. The correspondent of Saunders gives the following account of the scene'in the Court-house on Saturday night : " CLONMEL, OCT. 22.—The jury in Mr. Meagher's case were about three quarters of an hour consider ing their verdict, and the period which intervened between their withdrawal to their room and their re appearance in Court was one of great interest. A number of constabulary arrived, with muskets and fixed bayonets, and were stationed round the dock, and at the several doors. The corri lors and various passa ges were also filled with armed men. The Court-house was dimly lighted, and, to use the metaphorical lan guage of Mr. Butt, the gloom that pervaded it was slightly diminished, or rendered a little less intense, by the dim and partial lights; and one could scarcely avoid conjuring up the shadows of those who had been hurried to the grave of the felon, and beholding them flitting around that dock where the prisoner, with all his genius, power, and chivalry, stood upon the very spot which had been trodden by many an assassin, and front which so many had been hurried to an ignominious death.' It wag a scene that the graphic and gloomy Dante could have described. fife night was dark and rainy, and the dismal, dreary appearance of the streets, in which few persons but armed constabulary were to be seen, was in keeping with the aspect of gloom that met the eye in the in terior of the building. The feeling could not be sup pressed that it was a melancholy termination to the career of a gifted young Irishman, who, had he directed his talents to the attainment of prac ticable and useful objects, might, in the senate or at the bar, have advanced the interests and promoted the prosperity of his native land. The scene afforded au affecting but useful lesson, that misapplied faculties, perverted eloquence, and misdirected enthusiasm, will, in the end, lead to the ruin of the rash and unreflecting possessor, and blast those prospects whose very brilliancy and promise render downfall and discomfiture more overwhelming. The prisoner, for some time after the Judges had re tired, sat in the dock with a cloak folded about him. He conversed with his friends, chatting and laughing with them, in apparent good spirits. The High Sheriff told him he might retire, which he did, and remained in the cell till the Judges returned into court. At twenty minutes after seven o'clock their Lordships resumed their seats, and the jury were in formed that they were ready to receive their verdict. As each juror entered his serious and anxious look was a sufficient index to the decision ' • and the solemn and reluctant man ner i n wh i ch the foreman handed the issue paper to the Clerk of the Crown must have removed any hope of an acquittel that the friends of Mr. Meagher entertained. The Clerk of the Crown put the usual question, How say you, gentlemen, is Thomas Francis Meagher guilty or not guilty ?' The foreman replied, in a faint, low voice, Guilty. The word ran through the court, and soon whispered from lip to lip in the streets. The foreman read from a paper the re commendation of mercy, on the ground of the youth of the prisoner, and other reasons, and handed it to the judges, who made no reply. They then rose to retire, and gave th e order Remove the prisoner.' Mr. leagher bowed to them very respectfully, shook hands affectionately with some somefriends, and The was re conducted to the cell.dock was so dark, having only a dim lamp pendantfr om one of the bars, that the prisoner's figu re was little more than visible. The prison van was then driven to the court-house, and to the horses were backed the little door which leads from the cell into th e area before it. don The gates were an locked to keep out the crowd,one of t e h r em T w h a e s re-opened for the d eparture of the prisoner. constabulary ware arranged in such a manner as to surround the convey ance, which, thus guarded and environed, was driven as slowly as a hearse to the gaol, and Mr. Meagher was escorted to his apartment: It is expected that the three prisoners who have been convicted will be brought up for judgment to-morrow. The sentence, which must be pronounced according to the law, is one of the most appalling that could be devised —hanging, decapitation, and quartering; but it is very generally desired by all classes in Clenmel that justice should be tefrpered with mercy, which blesseth him who gives, him who receives, and drop peth like the ,gentle dew from heaven.' " THE , _CO . IIIIISSION IN DUBLIN. Yesterday Plichael Moran, John Joseph Moran, and John MiCormack were indicted ; Michael Moran fur -maliciously assaulting with intent to kill police constable John Byrne, by stabbing him with a dag ger, an d the other two prisoners for aiding and abetting in said assault. There were five other counts m the indictment, in which Michael Moran was charged with assaulting, with intent to disable, to do grievous bodil y harm, &e., and the two other prisoners with aiding and abetting. The prisoners severally pleaded not guilty. The case was, after a few words from Mr. Curran, counsel for M'Corenack, ordered to stand over. CASE OF ASSAULT Henry Mac Ilree was indicted for assaulting M. Smith. The traverser pleaded Guilty. It appeared that the assault had been committed under the followi n g circumstances:—The traverser had served on board her Majesty's frigate Castor, on the New Zeala nd station, and while p er f orm i ng duty there received a severe blow on the side of the head, which very nearl y cost him hi s life, and from the effects of which he slowly recovered. His subsequent state of health became such that the use of spirits was forbi dden him, but on his return to this country, while in company with a fri en d one day, the weather being cold anti wet, he was ind uce d to par take of some liquor; he afterwards went with his friend to the house of the p rosecutor, with whom the former was acquainted, and while there took a glass of punch. The effect of drinking upon him was to bring on a temporary delirium, under the influence of which he struck the prosecutor a violent blow on the front part of the head with a stick, without having received anything like provocation. Ile was imme diately given into cust od y , end removed to the station-house, but on recovering from th e d e li r i um he remembered nothing of what had occurred. These facts were disclosed in an affidavit made by the tra verser himself, by the direction of the Court, hi s counsel (Mr. Curran) having previously mentioned them in explanation of the cP,:,e. The effidavit further stated that when the tra verser was made aware of what he had done he uttered the prosecutor 10/. by way of reparation, being all the money he was pos sessed of, and expressed the greatest sorrow for what had heppened. The prosecutor was sworn and stated that he had undergone much suffering from the wound, a dan gerous one, from which he was not yet recovered, and had besides been put to expense for medical . treatment. 'N' 4 . .00TOBER 25 1848. A gentleman was examined, who stated that he had known the traverserlor twelve months, and had always found him a mild and gentlemanly person. Judge TORREMS, addressing the traverser, said that he had made all the reparation in his power for that which he had done, by pleading guilty to the accusation of the law, and by offering compensation to the person who had suffered from violence of which he had been the instrument. His Lordship dwelt on the unfortunate nature of the occurrence, and the statement made by the prosecutor as to his sufferings, and said he hoped it would weigh on the traverser's mind so as to cause him hereafter to ab stain from ardent spirits; and said that in the opinion of the Court the sum of 101. compensation offered by the traverser was not sufficient, and that 41. should be added to it. The traverser should in addition be fined 6d., and should be confined until such time as he paid the fine and the compensation, for a period not exceeding six. months. CAPITAL SENTENCES ON M‘MANUS, O'DONOHOE, AND MEAGHER. ADJOURNMENT OF THE SPECIAL COM • MISSION AT CLONMEL. CLOIMEL, MONDAT. - The Lord Chief Justice Blsckburne, Chief Justice Doherty, and Mr. Justice Moore, took their seats on the bench at half-past ten o'clock this morning. The Solicitor-General, Mr. Scott, Q.C. Mr. Lynch, and Mr. Sau sse , appeare d as counsel for the Crown. The Attorney-General was not present, having gone to Dublin to attend the Commission in that city. ' Mr. - Butt, Q.C., Sir Colman O'Loghlen, Mr. O'Callaghan, and Mr. Francis Meagher, were in at tendance as counsel for the prisoners wise had been tried and convicted. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL desired the Clerk of the Crown to bring to the bar the following prisoners : lames Orchard, Patrick Denis Tyne, Patrick O'Donnell, Wm. Pert, Th omas Finane, John Bren nan, John Pres - torn-and Thomas tack. The priioners were accordingly arraigned. They are all men in humble life, labourers and mechanics ; two or three of them are fine stout men, particularly Stack, the rest are miserable and impoverished crea tures. Each of them pleaded not guilty to the in dictment, which charged them with high treason. They were some of the followers of Mr. W. S. O'Brien, and the overt acts imputed to them were similar to those set forth in the indictment under which that gentleman had been tried. Mr. O'CALLAGHAN applied to the Court, as counsel had done in all other cases, far lists of the witnesses and the jury panel, and handed in a plea correspond• ing with those previously put in. He made the pre liminary motion merely to prevent its being said that the cases of the prisoners then at the bar were distirguished from the others because no claim had been put in for the privileges which counsel had con tended should be extended to them. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he would assume that all which he had done in the previous cases had been done in that case. The pleas were then signed by the prisoners, and handed in to the Clerk of the Crown, and the Solici tor-General directed them t o " stand by.'' They were then re-conducted to the cell. Mr. BUTT, Q.C., asked the Court if it would con sider the points which Mr. Whiteside and he had urged on Saturday evening ? The Ciller JUSTICE said that the Court had them under their consideration; they did not think there was any substance in them, but they would give them all the weight which they might deserve. THE SENTENCES. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then prayed the Court to bring up for judgment the three prisoners who had been found guilty. Directions were accordingly given to conduct the prisoners, Thomas Francis Meagher, Terence Bellew M'Manus and Patrick O'Donohoe, from the goal, and shortly afterwards they were placed in the dock-. The Clerk of the Crown, having read over the in dictment, and in the usual manner read the re. cord of the arraignment, the pleas of the prisoners, and their convictions, asked each of them what he had to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon him ? The first prisoner whom he addressed was Mr. M'Manus. Clerk of the Crown—Terence Bellew M'Manus, what have you to say why sentence of death shall not be passed upon you ? Mr. M'Manus said—My Lords, I trust I am enough of a Christian and enough of a man to under stand the awful responsibility of the question that has been put to me. My Lords, standing on this my native soil—standing in an Irish court of justice, and before the Irish nation—l have much to say why sentence of death or the sentence of the law should not be passed upon me; but, my Lords, on entering this court I placed my life—and what ie of much more importance to me, my honour, in the hands of two advocates; and, my Lords, if 1 had ten thousand lives and ten thousand honours I would be content to place them under the watchful arid glorious genius of the one, and the high legal ability of the other. My Lords, I am content in that regard. I have something to say which no advocate, however anxious, can utter for me. I have this to say, my Lords, that whatever part I may have taken through any struggle far my country's independence —whatever part I may have acted in that short career—l stand before .your Lordships now with a free heart and with a light conscience, ready to abide the issue of your sentence. And now, my Lords, perhaps this is the fittest time that I might put one sentiment on record, and it is this—standing as I do between the dock and the scaffold—it may be now or to-morrow, or it may be never, but whatever the re cult may be, I have this sentiment to put on record, that in any part I have taken I have not been actuated by animosity to Englishmen, for I have spent some of the happiest and most prosperous days of my life there; and in no part of my career have 1 been actuated by enmity to Englishmen, however much I may have felt the injustice of English rule in this island. My Lords, I have nothing more to say. It is not for having loved England less, but for having loved Ireland more, that I stand now before you. Clerk of the Crown—What have you to say, Patrick O'Donohoe, why sentence of death shall not be passed upon you ? Mr. O'Donohoe said—My Lords, I have written out a few remarks, which, with your Lordships' per mission, I will read. The COURT having assented, Mr. O'Donohoe said—My Lords, I beg to say that the Attorney and Solicitor-General have conducted the case against me fairly, but strictly, and I find no fault siith them nor with the evidence given against me, so far as it was acted on by the jury. My Lords, I do complain that in such a country the jurors summoned to try me, a stranger, for a political offence, were ex c l us i ve ly political opponents, and with such a panel I regret that your Lordships (lid not, as my counsel requested, allow my jury to have been called from those who had not served, or been re jected, on a former trial. My jury, thus selected, could not be supposed to overcome all bias, and I be• lieve they found a most mistaken ver di c t. 111 r. Justice Moore, in his direction, told the jury that if I assisted Mr. O'Brien whilst engaged in a treasonable design, I was guilty of treason, although I might not know of his intent, and from their recommendation it appears that they found me guilty on that direction. To one unlearned in the law, and supposing that treason depends on intention, it seems contrary to common sense that I can participate in a treasonable design of the existence of which I am ignorant. I do not, however, presume to dispute the law as you Lordship has stated it, but no earthly judge is infallible; and as the doctrine is so startling, and one stamped with the authority of Mr. Moore's high constitutional character, would form a precedent dangerous to the lives and liberties of the best men, I humbly request your Lordships to reserve the point for the considera tion of the Judges. If your Lordship be in error that error ought to be corrected — if not , it will be a protection to every one to know that the law so laid down has been confirmed. It is not fit on this solemn occasion to defend my opinions or conduct—l will, therefore, only say that those opinions h ave always been tolerant, sincere, and consistent. I am grateful to my eminent counsel, olr. But t, for his eloquent and truly able defence, the more so because that defence was generously given without fee or reward, and given, too, to his political antagonist. I cannot but express my admiration for the ingenuity and great talent shown by my junior counsel, Mr. Francis Meagher, and his zeal in my defence. I also beg to thank my solic i t or, Mr. L affan, for the ability with which he conducted my case, and the general exertions made by him on my behalf. I thank your Lordships for this patient hearing. The Clerk of the Crown then asked Mr. Meagher what he had to say why the sentence of the law should not be passed upon him. Meagher, with fluency of utterance, and re markable firmness of manner, then spoke as follows : _My Lords, it is my intention to say a few words only. I desire that the last act of a proceeding which has occupied so much of the public time should be of short duration ; nor have I the indelicate wish to close the dreary ceremony of a s t a t e prosecut i on with a vain display of words. Did I fear that, hereafter, when I shall be no more, the country I have tried to serve would think ill of me, I might indeed avail myself of this solemn moment to vindi cate my sentiments and my conduct. But I have no such fear. The country will judge of these senti ments, and of that conduct, in a light, I think, far different from that in which the jury by which I have been convicted have viewed them ; and perhap3 the sentence you, my Lords are about to pronounce will be remembered only as the severe and solemn attes tation of my rectitude and truth. Whatever may be the language in which that sentence will be spoken, I know that my fate will meet with sympathy, and that my memory will be honoured. In speaking thus accuse me not, my Lords, of an indecorous presump tion. To the efforts I have made for what I conceived to be a just and noble cause, I ascribe no vain im portance; nor do I claim for them any high reward. But it so happens, and it will ever so happen, that they who have tried to serve their country, no matter how weak their efforts may have been, are sure to receive the th an k s an d bl ess i ngs of its people. With the country, then, I leave my memory, my sentiments, my acts, proudly feeling that they require no vindication from me this day. A jury of my countrymen, it is true, have found me guilty of the crime of which I was indicted. For this I entertain not the slightest feeling of resent ment against them ; influenced as they must have been by the charge of the Lord Chief Justice, they, per haps, could have returned no other verdict. What of that charge ? Any strong observations upon it I sincerely feel would ill befit the solemnity of this scene; but I would earnestly beseech of you, my Lord—you, who preside upon that bench—when the prejudices and the passions of this' hour have passed away, to appeal to your own conscience, and ask of it—was your charge, as it ought to have been, im partial and indifferent between the subject and the Crown ? My Lords, you may deem this language unbecoming in me, and perchance it may seal my fate; but I am here to speak the truth, whatever it may cost. lam here to regret nothing that I have ever done-e-to retract nothing that I have ever said. ram not here to - crave—with 4ife -I Con secrate to the liberty of my country. Far from it. Even here—here, where the thief, the libertine, the murderer, have left their foot prints in the dust—here in this spot, where the shadow of death surrounds me, and from which I see an early grave in an unanointed soil opened to receive me—even here ea circled by these terrors, that hope which beckoned me to the perilous sea on which I have been wrecked, still consoles, ani mates, and enraptures me. No! Ido not despair of my poor old country—her peace, her liberty, her glory. For that country I can now do no more than bid her hope. To lift this island up—to make her a benefactor to humanity instead of what she is—the meanest beggar in the world—to restore to her her native powers and her ancient constitution—this has been my ambition, and this ambition has bleu my crime. Judged by the law of England I know this crime entails the penalty of death. But the history of Ireland explains my crime and justifies it. Judged by that history I am no criminal—(and turning to his fellow-prisoner M'Manus)—you are no criminal (and to O'Donohoe), you are no criminal, and we deserve no punishment. Judged by that history, the treason, of which I have been convicted, loses all its guilt—is sanctified as a duty— will be ennobled as a sacrifice. With these seatis merits, my Lords, I await the sentence of the C o u r t. Having done what I feel to be my duty—having spoken now, as I did on every occasion during my short life, what I felt to be the truth, I now bid fare well to the country of my birth, my passion, and my death—that country whose misfortunes have invoked my sympathies—whose factions I sought to stiil— whose intellect I prompted to a lofty aim—whose freedom has been my fatal dream. I offer to that country, as a pledge of the love I bear her, and the sincerity with which I thought, and spoke, and struggled for her freedom, the life of a young heart ; and with that life all the hopes, the honours, the en dearments of a happy and an honourable home. Pro nounce, then my Lords, the sentence which the law directs, and I trust I will be prepared to hear it, and meet its execution. I trust, too, that I shall he pre pared with a pure heart to appear before a higher tribunal—a tribunal where a judge of infinite good ness as well as of infinite justice will preside; and where, my Lords, many, many of the judgments of this world will be reversed. [A low and protracted murmur of applause per vaded the conclusion of the prisoner's most eloquent and impassioned address.] Lord Chief Justice Dosaanc—Prisoners at the bar, Terence Bellew M'Manus, Patrick O'Donohoe, and Thomas Francis Meagher, after deep considers , tion, before entering into this court it was my intention, in the performance of the very painful duty which devolves upon me, not to have prolonged your stay at that bar by any length of observation. You, and each of you, appear there havi ng b een con victed by the verdicts of three successive juries of the crime of high treason—the crime of the greatest enormity known to our laws. I feel bound to say this, that it is the deliberate, dispassionate, and calm opinion of the Court that the verdicts which were found by those juries, and the verdict which was found by a former jury, could not have been other than they were—that no honest, fair, impartial, and conscien tious jurors, attending strictly to their oaths and listening to the evidence that was produced in this court in the course of these unusually pro tracted trials, could have come to any other conclu sion than that which they have done. They have pronounced you one and all guilty of the crime of high treason. That crime consists in having levied war in this county within and, during the last week of the month of July—of having levied war for trea sonable purposes—and that you, and each of you, more or less participated in, excited to, and prepared for, and were yourselves some of you more, some less, actively engaged in the furtherance of that project. In order to constitute the crime of high treason by the levying of war, it is no ingredient that the means should be proportioned to the end sought to be ac complished, or that there should be a rational pros pect of success. The parties who engage in such transactions become responsible if they have arrayed, assembled, collected, drilled, and prepared those who by force endeavour to accomplish that object—the common object that was in view. It is not, I am sorry to say, to any forbearance on your part that that rebellion—for such 1 may term it— which broke out in that week, was brought to a speedy conclusion. It is not due to you ; it is under God attributable to the fidelity and the bravery of the police force. When I reflect on what might have been the consequences if that police force, either seduced by promises or intimidated by threats which were made use of, had yielded to the advances that were made to them, if they had been overwhelmed by the congregated numbers that assent bled and attempted their destruction, cr if they had failed in dispersing those bands of rebels who assem bled around them on the hills, I think there is no fair man who, looking at and contemplating what the state of this country might have been, will not see how rapidly a temporary success might have added to the numbers of the insurgents, and how soon this country might have been deluged in blood, and given over to all the horrors of a civil war. It is from that we have escaped by the fidelity and by the bravery of the police foree. lam very far, God knows, from wish ing to say one word at this moment that can raise or en hance the feelings which some of you may endure. But I cannot, in looking to what was the state of this country in the month of May last, avoid adverting (without entering into particulars of it) to that authentic speech which was given in evidence upon the last trial ; eloquent no doubt it is ; but who can avoid seeing, in the perusal of that speech delivered by you, Mr. Meagher, on the 6th of June, a terrible picture of what was at that time the state of this country, and the calamities which were impending and meditated, and from which, by God's assistance, we have es caped. I have told you that it was my wish to abstain from enlarging or giving any details, and I shall do:so. I shall merely add this observation, that from the commencement to the conclusion of this commission, which has now extended to the fifth week, there has been a perfect coincidence in the views of every mem ber of this bench as to the law ; and if the observa tions of the distinguished judge who presides here did seem to you, and I can make every allowance for their doing so, to press and bear severely upon you — perhaps, in a calmer moment, when you come to rt fl , -ct upon it, you will see that it was from the very nature of the transactions themselves that those com ments legitimately arose, which appeared to you to press with undue severity on you. Perhaps, vt ben you come to reflect dispassionately, you will see this in the same light, and I trust that you may ba more recon ciled than you appear at present to the justice of the unhappy fate which awaits you, and which there is not au individual with a heart to feel who must not deeply deplore. I shall not. now detain you longer. I have merely to exhort each , of you to reflect on the awful situation in which each of you at this moment stands, and to prepare for the dreadful fate that im pends over you. We have not failed to send, as was our duty, to the Lord-Lieutenant, the recommenda- tions with which the juries in your respective cases have accompanied the verdicts that have been found against you. But you must be wellatware that it is with the Executive Government, and the Executive Government alone, that the fate of those recommen dations rests. And we in the discharge of our most anxious and painful duty have now only to proceed to pass upon you, and upon each of you, the awful oug an and Blacl icl t( . 2i(l, Idling Les of 1 ; 63 wild new s 395, nt at soli of
