DUBLIN, APIIIL 25.—The Court of Queen's Bench is to resume its sittings to-morrow, after the Easter holi days. The pleas of abatement filed by Mr. Mitchell, of the United Irishman, have placed upon the Crown the onus of making the next move, and some step must be taken to-morrow. The Government have determined is carry through the prosecutions with 'vigour. The Crown counsel are of opinion that the objeetion to a member-of the grand jury, raised by Mr. Mitchell's pleas cannot hold go o d. The foll ow i ng i s the clause of the Irish Municipal Act on which he relies :- 6 ' Every member of the council, for the time being, of the borough, and justice assigned te keep the peace therein, and every officer of police therein, and the treasurer and town-clerk for the time being of every such borough, shall be exempt and disqualified from serving on any jury summoned within such borough, save and except juries summoned for an assize or general gaol delivery," The disqualification of Alderman Bowles, a member of the grand jury, is .here specific ; but the Crown counsel will hold that the law only requires a majority of the grand jury to find a bill of indictment, and that thirteen out of the twenty-four members of the jury will be sufficient for all legal purposes. There is, how ever, quite enough in Mr. Mitchell's plea for a good argument, and, perhaps, for an appeal to the House of Lords, in case the Court should decide against him. The Crown, supposing that the Court rules with them in favour of the indictment, will proceed with the trial of Mr. Mitchell, as well as the other traversers, in the sittings after the present term. As an evidence of the determination of the Crown to proceed with all promptitude, a notice was served at Mr Mitchell's office last night, requiring him to appear per sonally (not by attorney) in the Court of Queen's Bench to morrow. Mr. Mitchell had left a few hours previously, to attend a Chartist meeting in Manchester, and a special messenger was dispatched to that town to I acquaint him with the service of the Crown summons, in order if possible, that he might be enabled to attend in Court to-morrow. The Crown, it is stated, will demur to Mr. Mitchell's plea. In that case, there would be a four-day rule for a joinder in odemurrer,affording ample which time f wouldor h t expire argumentou Tuesday e next, thus affd the expiration of the term on the 12th of May. FEARGUS O'CONNOR AND THE -- TIMES COMMISSIONER. TO THE .EDITOR OF 7'HE SUN. Sin,—Several of my friends, Members of the House of Commons, have infOrmed me that a statement made by Mr. Feargus O'Connor in the House of Commons on Saturday, and reported in The Sun to the effect, " that a gentleman, some years ago called upon him, stating that he was about to go over to Ireland as a Commis sioner' for one of the Morning papers, and applied to him to be engaged to write for the Northern Star, on the ground that his communications would be written to suit the newspaper for which he was going to Ireland, and would not do at all for the Northern Star, unless written differently," have been understood in the House of Com mons to apply to me, as the Tinzes Commissioner. I beg to say that I never Called upon, or spoke to, Mr. Feargus O'Connor in my life, nor did I ever hold, or seek to hold, any sort of comrnuncation with him, directly or indirectly, on any subject whatever; nor did I ever make any proposal to write from Ireland to the Northern Star, or to any other newspaper whatever; nor was that which I wrote for the Times, either directed, suggested, or biased, by.the editor or conauctors of the Times in its matter or tone, in any respect whatever. To those who know me, this contradiction is un necessary. There are some gentl, however, who may apply th e statement of the Hon. emen Member to me, and who, indeed, I am informed, have done so, and who may, perhaps, believe it unless contradicted, which must be my excuse for occupying your space with such a matter. • --- ~..- -- - 1- - e --- / T r) r y 1 . 1 - ; ‘.

A STEAMER- BLOWN UP —The Lucifer left this city about half-p ast nine o'clock . on Sunday morning, for a t r i a l tr i p to Mostyn, with a party of eight ladies and eight gentlemen, and on her return, through Hoy lake, from three to a quarter past three o'clock in the afternoon, touching the bank as she came through, the sand got into the feed-pipe, and before the fires could be drawn, or other precautions taken, an explosion took place, by which the boiler and middle part of the vessel were torn to atoms. There were five women on the bow of the vessel when the accident took place; these fell into the water, but were saved by the boat belonging to the' vessel by the exertions of Mr. M'Ardle and one or two more, who kept the ladies up till another beat came to their assistance. The other women and the rest of the crew were all aft, clear of. the boiler, and by this means were safe, as this part of the vessel touched the ground, and consequently was above the water. The ladies were taken to the hotel at Hoylake, where th ey were immediately put to bed; and received every atten tion. Greater hospitality could not, in fact, have been s h own by the landlady and her daughter. W e are happy to add , that not;one of the party received the sl i g h tes t personal injury.

SPASPANISHEXPILDITION AGAINST TRW .BALANGIGNI Spanish PIRATES.—By the arrival of the war-steamer Reinha da Castilla, particulars hail, been received of a most gallant attack on the Balangigni pirates. On one or two occasions the Onvernor-General at Manilla - had written to the Sultanef:Sooloo to exterminate the pirates at Balangigni; but the Sultan having neglected to do so, the Spanish' Government very - properly undertOok the task, and • has ably performed 'it. The Manilla autho. cities resolved' to punish the pirates who for years_ have made descents .on the coasts of Luconis, and carried away into captivity Spanish subjects. The expedition left Manilla February 5,' and comprised three war steamers, two wdeachooners, six gun-boats, eight small ditto, 600 infantry, 50 artillery, with two field pieces. On the arrival at the chief haunt of the pirates, the island Balangigni, the place was taken by assault, after a most obstinate and daring resistance, the work of extermination continuing from - February 15 to 25. Two fortresses, ably defended, were assaulted and taken. The attacking force lest one infantry captain and 20 privates slain, also vvoundid. Of the pirates more than 450 men w ere killed.

The quantity of rain fallen during theiast three months has greatly exceeded, the '.usual average, and the land is now so saturated that it will - require a considerable . period to restore it to -- gbed :working order. The sowing of spring corn, which unordinary seas - ons is generally completed about. the , end of , March, is not yet fieished, and that4hinh.has been committed to the.s9ll has in rriaui cases been but in differently got in. There is still a good deal of - work to do, and, as •we are now fast approachieg May, it is not improbable that some of the land originally4neended for barley will have to be devoted to other purposes. At Liverpool, on Tuesday, wheat met a steady de , mead ; the finest sorts realised-41, and the common deseriptions 3d. per 701bs. above the rates current on that T h d e a a y d s v e ic 'n eVf ro gh m t. the other lar_ge_consurning-towns in the north are of decidedly a firm charicter, still buyers appear to have acted with a great dealof cau tion, and no actual advance on former terms could be realised, either at Leeds or dull _'on -Tuesday, or at Wakefield later in the week. • • •! In Ireland the tendettcy of prices has' also been up , wards. Very little business appears, however; to have teen done there, the agitation for the - repeal of the legislative union having in no degree subsided. The market has been scantily supplied with barley of home growth, but a few thousand quarters !have come to hand from the. Continent. The be,st . nuttting qualities have been in , fair, steady request; and the sales made on Wednesday were on terms quite gqual to those realised in the.beginning of the week The temperature having, however ; risen materially within this day or two, we may expect that , , many of the maltsters will discontinue work ; and we do no t calculate on prices going higher. In grinding bank .y very little has been done of late, the cotaparative Iy low prices of other articles suitable for feeding having,..to. a certain extent i -lessened the 'consump'rion of barley meal. The operations in naalChave 'been on a retail scal e; . b ut the article has.'bsen•Aeld firmly,. and previous prices have been . : , fully sup. ported. The arrivals of oats from our coast and Ireland have been trifling; but having received a fair - quan tity from Ireland, in additi on t o a good su pp l y . of foreign, there has been no scarcity o f this gram. The dealers who bought pretty freely on Monday_ seem On that occasion to have secured sufficient. for their immediate wants, and there was.certainly less incli nation to purchase on Wednesday ; notwithstanding which, the slight advance established in the begin ning of the week was maintained. English beans have come rather sparingly to hand ; and though the inquiry has been slow, no change, has occurred in prices. —Mark-lane Express. kiHURCHES IN CORNWALL.—There .are nearly 200 churches in this county; and though theprevailing sty' t o is that of the perpendicular period, it must not be sw p posed that there are no examples of an earlier de , ae.
