(; —DROIT. 41 , ,/ AV Mr. BRADLAUGH, in the course of a very violent speech, urged the people at all events, to attend the park, and he said the Government which had been-- cowardly enough and cruel enough to call out the military before would do it again ; but he would not be deterred from attending, and if violence were used he would be among the first to meet that violence. The concluding sentences of the speech were com pletely lost in the loud cheers which burst from his hearers at the proposed defiance of the law ; and some of the meeting, in their enthusiasm, tossed their head-gear, mostly caps, to the ceiling. At this juncture Mr. Superintendent Durkin, with AU. Superintendent Walker and Mr. Superintendent Kittle, entered the room, having previously sent in their cards. 4d. tiT A 'NI D trd. but throughout the metropolis, was as wisely honour able to him as a minister as it was in harmony with all the best feelings of a patriot and a Christian. The generous confidence he reposed in the deputa tion of the Reform League was abundantly justified by the result. Upon the withdrawal, as agreed upon with him, of the military and police, upon all op position to the assembling and presence of the people in the park being removed, the thoasauds who had assembled there under feelings of the deepest pro vocation and excitement in consequence of what had occurred daring the two preceding diys, and with the full determination to resist to the utmost any further array of force on the part of the Government, listened willingly and attentively to the request made to them by myself and others, both orally and by placards, to retire peacefully and quietly to their homes, and they complied with our requests. Such being the positive facts, and they cannot be truth fully disputed, I should be curious to litiow upon what grounds the Government are now supposed to be determined to take active and strenuous measures to suppress an intended peaceful and orderly meet ing of the same people in the same park next Mon day ; and that, after not only not interfering with the political meeting held there on Good Friday, but on that occasion pursuing the course which I have always contended it was their duty to do on such occasions, and which has been invariably pur sued by the local authorities throughout the country —namely, to protect from disturbance the people in the exercise of this their great constitutional right. That the parks are now held, and have been for years, for centuries held, for the use and enjoyment of the public is indisputable. Act after Act of Parlia ment has so dealt with them, whatever be the posi tion of the dry, naked, legal estate, and wherever it s tisouy a mb y di ebe be i ps difficultykh e w tl a s i whether in question ianct the actually yde Crown hisnoeglvd,e in o especially in lots lawyers in ts b y t o h risn eclouds de eeotgf in t haveha Par liament in 1652. It is not to be supposed that the people can enter into these legal niceties and subtle ties, and distinguish between the known and bene ficial use and enjoyment and the unknown and ques tionable legal estate or interest. They see the parks continuously and undisputedly used in the days of their fathers and their forefathers for public pur pose=, and, as regards Hyde Park especially, used not merely for the promenades and recreation of the wealthy, and others, but for reviews, and even fairs. Seeing all this, they cannot understand why it is not, for an hour or so occasionally, and especially on important occasions, and to a small extent of its large area, and without any real ,interference with the purposes of others, to be used for the purpose of their conveniently assembling there for a public meeting—a purpose quite as rational as any other for which they are at full liberty to go there. Such, at least, is the rooted feeling of hundreds of thou sands, not in London only, but throughout the country. Mr. MERRYNI.VN addressed the meeting, calling for a quiet hearing for all the superintendents bad to say, and he said the - police might carry back to their superiors the assurance that the League were firm and determined as to holding the meeting, not withstanding any proclamation which might be brought forward. Mr. MANTLE urged the assemblage to receive the statement of the police-officers in solemn silence, and to show no feeling at whatever was stated by them. Mr. Superintendent DuRKIN then stated that he attended with his brother superintendents, from the Commissioners, to give the president and all other members of the Reform League Council, the notice he then placed before them. With saying this he handed the members around a copy of the proclamation, which was read by Mr. Beales as follows :7-- " Whereas it has been publicly announced that a meeting will be held in Hyde-park on Monday, the Cth of May, for the purpose of political discussion : And whereas the use of the park for the purpose of holding such meeting is not permitted, and inter fere with the objects for which her Majesty has been pleased to open the park for the general enjoyment of her people : Now, all persons are hereby warned and admonished to abstain from attending, aiding, or taking part in any such meeting, or from enter ing the park with a view to attend, aid, or take part in such meeting.—S. H. WALPOLE. Home-office, Whitehall, May 1, 1867." There was an attempt made to ridicule the seve ral parts of the notice, but this was suppressed. After the paper had been real the police officers left the room. The CIIMIIMAN said this was a very serious crisis, and it became the meeting, as calm and reasonable men, to consider the notice. He then entered into a very long dissertation upon the notice, which he dissected word by word, and his conclusion was that the Government had no right to exclude the people from the park. He called upon the people to hold the meeting, and he said if there should be any riot or disturbance the fault would rest with the Govern ment for interfering with the people's constitutional right to attend the park in a meeting for the dis cussion of political questions. Mr. BRADLAUGH also entered into a long word by word discussion of the notice. He 2alled upon the people to show that they were not degenerate sons of their fathers by being cowardly enough to abandon their purpose because of this notice. The Government, he said, had invited a contest, and if the League brought themselves out of it like teen, more would be done by this Monday meeting than had been done after months' Parliamentary debate. The resolution he moved was : A writer in :the Times of yesterday suggests that the cause of law and order would be assisted by pre venting the proposed meeting. I verily believe, and I have strong reason for the belief, that the very reverse would be the case, and that the cause of law and order, a cause as dear to the members of the Reform League—as they abundantly proved last July—as to any other class of men, would be best assisted by not attempting to interfere with the proposed meeting, which, if not interfered with, will be conducted in as orderly and constitutional a manner as all the other meetings of the League. The same writer asserts that this is no question of party. I admit that it is not. The Reform League by no means oppose the pre- sent Reform Bill merely because it was introduced by a Tory or Conservative Government. They would have cordially supported it if it had been considered by them to be fair and honest, and large enough in the extension of the franchise. Much and highly as they respect and admire the character and talents of Mr. Gladstone, and appreciate the gene rous sympathies with what are called the working classes to which he has repeatedly given utterance, they have at all their late meetings as strongly op posed his £5 rating franchise as they have opposed the objectionable provisions of the Government bill in trammelling the principle of household suffrage, which, as they think, that bill otherwise recognises and admits. "That this meeting, denying the right of S. Walpole, or any other person in this realm to issue such a proclamation, and regarding the parks as places open for the purpose of holding public meet ings, which are the right of all Englishmen, reply to the proclamation that they intend holding the meeting of Monday, and that the consequences of endeavouring to prevent it must rest with those who are wicked enough to take this course." (Loud cheers.) This was seconded. Colonel DICKSON said the proclamation was a Very Inilk and watery affair, and showed that there was some " hulking" in official quarters ; but the League were prepared to show that there was no funking among them. Mr. CONNINGTON proposed a modiacation of the resolution submitted to the meeting. Mr. CONOLLY, stonemason, said some of the speeches he had hoard that night sounded to him like addresses from a general to a well-disciplined army. He knew that some who talked the loudest would be the first to run away in danger—(hisses and uproar)—and, as a large meeting like that could not be a deliberative assembly, he moved that the question as to the holding the meeting should be altogether referred to the Executive. He looked upon the matter as altogether a serious one, and the whole question was not worth shedding blood for, or resorting to physical force in any way. The CHAIRMAN begged leave to say that there was no wish to imperil life, or sacrifice a drop of blood on Monday next. If there w as any disturbance the fault would lie with those who employed force to prevent the peaceful exercise of a right. After some speeches in violent language, which were much cheered, the chairman submitted the re solution of Mr. Bradlaugh somewhat altered in words, but the same in spirit, and it was carried unanimously. The meeting then separated. Lord Derby, as reported yesterday, has expressed admirable sentiments against any invidious distinc tions being drawn between the working classes, or rather the wages of labour classes, and the other classes of the community. To really and truly act upon and up to such sentiments will be the best of all means for promoting the happiness, prosperity, and harmony of all classes of the whole country. But it is little in unison with such sentiments to attempt to interfere with the working men and other members of the League in their proposed rational and peaceful and constitutional use of Hyde Park next Monday evening.—lam, Sir, yours respectfully, Lincoln's-inn, May 1. EDMUND BEALES. The League Meeting in Hyde Park. Last evening a meeting of the Reform League delegates was held in the Sussex-hall, Bouverie street, and, as in the course of the evening three superintendents of the Metropolitan Police waited upon the Executive of the League, and publicly and officially served the members with copies of the pro clamation issued by the Home Secretary, the pro ceedings were of a somewhat exciting character. Mr. Beales, M.A., presided, and among those pre sent were Mr. Bradlaugh, Lieut.-Colonel Dickson, Mr. Merryman, and other members of the League Council. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, in troduced to the notice of the meeting an address which he proposed to issue in the name of the League. This was as follows : " Men of London, who, not yet having the power of voting for those who are called your representa tives in Parliament, desire to have that power, and to make the representation of the people a reality, come together once more to express your desire unanimously and firmly, and to claim the franchise which reason, justice, and the Constitution give you. Come and join in the protest of your brethren and fellow-countrymen at Birmingham, Newcastle, Leeds, against the restrictive conditions of the Bill now before the house of Commons. That Bill affects to be intended to give you the franchise, but, in reality, it, in many respects, excludes you from it, or accompanies an unwilling concession with con ditions contrived to embarrass you in its acquisition and exercise. Come and meet the Council of the Reform League in Hyde Park, on Monday next, the Gill of May. Come as loyal, peaceful, and orderly citizens, enemies of all riot and tumult, but unalter ably fixed and resolved in demanding and insisting upon what you are entitled to. If time presses, stay not to form in processions, but come straight from your work. Come without bands and banners. Show that the cause itself is sufficient to call forth your energies, and animate your exertions. Your enemies have ventured to treat yo ur former demon - strations and meetings with the insolence of rcvilings and sneers, and insolence that springs fr n o d m in base nessus- is ever the proof of conscious wrong a tice, and has but too often imperilled a th n e m p ve e r ac b e e to of nations. Let your only and disdainful meet again and again in yourmoralstrenwgitthh until you are fully and ungrudgingly invested free which is your birthright as State, the right to vote in the c the ln citizens e n t h o o f s e a your liberties, make your laws, impose taxes, and exercise rule over your properties, govern your country, and your lives. If y o u are driven other means, passive o r active, for se protection , l to_ any adopt f or for the support and advancement of your undoubted rights, be th e fault and the responsibilit y with your opponents. Th e question is not one of party, and ought not to be one of class. It is one The Accident at Carron Viaduct.

A train fr om trucks in an b d ur g g u h a m rd a 's rit v e a t n ; Perth ofs2 for London, broke in two while conveying cattle andcrossing d dressed eCarron t Viaduct, which spans a ravine from 50 to 60 or 70 feet deep, precipitating the latter half into a deep awl swollen stream. It is probable that the great length of a cattle or goods train may render it more liable to such accidents than a passenger train, but the mere possibility of such a disaster is at least suggested by the occurrence. Of the three peraons whose lives were at stake in the present instance, all of them, fortunately, escaped with comparatively slight injuries. The guard, named Esson, jumped off before the fatal plunge of the train ; but he was still more severely injured than his companions— namely, Ilasting and Cartwright, who were in charge of the cattle, both of whom fell with the guard's van. Twenty-six into the abyss—namely, three close vans for dressed meat, which were immersed in the Carron, aud 22 trucks of cattle and sheep and the guard's van, which fell upon a lade of. the river and the bit of meadow between.

I got possession of the document to which he referred. I believe that doC urnent to be in exist ence, and in the possession of Lord Naas, in Lon don. I last saw it last week, I sent it to him at the latter end of last week. The moment the question was raised here as to the production of it I sent it to Lord Naas. Massy was examined on t riday ?—I believe so. Had you that document then in your possession? —I had. Was it after Massy's examination you parted with the custody of the document ?—lt was. Were you present in court when an application was made to the Court,fdr an order to produce it ? —I was. Was it after that application was made you parted with the document ?—No ; I-saw it was about to be made, and I parted with the document before it was made. Was it to prevent its being. produced you sent it away ?—1 seat it away because Lord Naas left me the document with express directions that I was to keep it confidential and return it. Did you make any copy of it ?—Never. At the time you sent it. back did you do so in order that you might say you could not produce it ? —I sent it back because I 'had received it under certain cont.eus, . • Answermy question. At tte timeyou sent it back, was one of your reasons that you should not hare it in your power to produce it when asked for it ? Unquestionably. You are Crown Solicitor ?—I am acting as such. Did you originally give that document to Lord N aas ?--Yes. Who wrote it?—lt was written by a gentleman confidentially empowered by Lord Naas. The Chief Justice—l do not think you can pursue this further. • Mr. Justice Fitzgerald—The best test that you cannot pursue this examination is that we cannot compel the production of this document. Mr. O'Loghlen—l want to get secondary evi dence of it. The Chief Justice—The law is perfectly clear. We cannot compel the production of the document. This paper is said to contain matter the publication of which would cause much mischief. The docu ment is not here, and we have no power to compel its production : . " • Mr. BUtt•:Canfladeitqlie.t?LOrd Naas was of a vio'latiolkirtlie . P.Win•keeping back this docu-. meat. ' • . ' ' The chi e f J a - s . tic6-4le . has possession of it, and keeps it, because he does not wish it to be published. Mr. Butt—lf the Queen had it, we are entitled to have it ; and her Majesty would not keep it if she had it. I will never believe to the end of my life that these men have had the trial they are en titled to if this document is not produced. I will believe that the prisoners have been tried by A Star Chamber proceeding. I want to know what autho rity is there in the British Constitution to hold a Star Chamber in the Castle of Dublin, and bring a witness there and administer to him an illegal oath. If Lord Naas was the party who administered that oath, he has committed a crime ; and am I to be told that a magistrate of the county can go to a private chamber in the Castle and administer an illegal oath, for which, with the blessing of God, that magistrate will answer if there is law in the land? The Chief Justice—The magistrate thought he had the power to administa it, and I think it was extra-judicial. Your application should be sup ported by an affidavit. You are talking about a Star Chamber and other things which have no ap plication to this case. Mr. Butt—l will judge of my own words, and I think they have the greatest possible application. I am arguing that we are entitled to have this docu ment. I want to put a question with reference to this document, and if you rule that it is illegal I have no more to say. 'The Chief Justice—Any argument you have to make we will hear, but to every appeal about the Star Chamber we will pay no attention. Mr. Butt—l submit that lam entitled to ask who wrote; the document, and I repeat, if this docu ment is withdrawn—. The Chief Justice—Argue the matter. Mr. Butt—This is not a question to be argued like a bill of exchange. This is a great Constitu tional question, and I must express what I think. If I am warm on the subject I am sure I shall meet with indulgence. Here is a transaction, and a witness is produced on the table who swears to matters that vitally affect the life of one of the pri soners. In the course of the preliminary preparation by the Crown, Massy makes a statementto which he deposes on oath. He has told me that this state ment did not contain a single word affecting the prisoner Burke. It may be that these statements were of such a character as to wholly destroy the credibility of his evidence. I am, therefore, entitled to have it to contradict what he has sworn. Is there any authority since, I repeat, the days of the;Star Chamber, that that document should not be produced ? Mr. Macdonogh quoted several authorities to show that the application was untenable. The Court ruled that the question could not be asked. Mr. Butt then asked the witness whether Mrs. Massy was present when the information was given, and he received a reply in the negative. Mr. Dowse then commenced his address to the jury. Mr. O'Loghlen followed, and concluded about 5 o'clock. The Lord Chief Justice, addressing the prisoners, then said—You are now, each of you, entitled, although you have been heard by counsel, to ad dress the jury, but you will not be entitled to speak after the counsel for the Crown has spoken. The prisoner Burke (speaking with a clear voice, far as I am con --As e a e n r d ned, an American accent) my lord, having placed my case in the hands of my eloquent counsel, I am perfectly well satis fied with their advocacy. The prisoner Doran—l have nothing further to say, my lord. The Solicitor-General said it now became his duty to reply on behalf of the Crown. It was not with out a painful sense of the im portance of that duty, Which all who were of the case were ie a ne n vn d oni t ev l e i e e tde d ,d e t e wh p iatth r e s ht p o eh ep n r s to i e b er i em l d t i y ne ad i t n i teon address the jury. On the one hand, it ha d been conceded by the coun selof high treason and that there y nad i 'e ng of war against had d f b o b r eeee t nn h prisoners r lm i r s me o l n iat e nt r e4 s d a t n h i n a a that thist t u h a e l ll c ea r vn i the Queen ; when the jury realised the details of the great conspiracy w hich ha d been stated in the ev idence, when they realised the dark night of the sth nd of when 11lare sleepers were awakened f rom t h e i r re pose by the cry of insu rrection, there could be no dub great duty to b e per f ormed oa the eh, lew h en death broo3 e d over t hi s land, a was to disc over an d to b ring to we re the autho rs an d t h ose who n o u t ite parta doubt thered was society a and on the pa r t o f t h e G overn- ; u e s , e thatthose Iwho duty were the actors fh the high treason. There was another deeply important consideration, and that was this—that upon their verdict depended the lives of the prisoners. Both those considerations were strongly present to his mind. They would be present to the minds of the jury, and he was per suaded that a sense of duty, the highest principle upon which man could act, would overbear in their minds all other considerations , and that no desire to bring to justice men who were not clearly proved guilty ou the one hand, nor any feelin g o f mor bid sentiment ou the other, would deter them from doing their duty in the case as between the Crown and the prisoners at the bar. Allusion had been made by one of his learned friends to the principles on which counsel for the prisoner was to conduct his case, and he had heard with regret a passage cited from a speech delivered by one of the most distinguished men of modern times, no small part of whose elo quence rested upon his learned friend who quoted it, in which Lord Brougham described the duties of counsel. Why than passage was quoted, when his learned friend felt that, as a man of professional honour, he could not accept those statements, he could not understand. The greater part of the de fence of this case appeared to him to consist of in dignant invective against the Government and the conduct of the prosecutors, and an attempt to turn the proceedings into unseemly ridicule. He would proceed to illustrate the duties of the counsel for the prisoner. They had suggested to the jury every circumstance and consideration which could pos sibly and legitimately secure their end. He con fined himself to a consideration of his own duty, and his learned friend Mr. Dowse only did him jus tice when he said that to procure a verdict was not the object either of him who now addressed them, or of the Government who he had the honour to represent. God forbid that he should address to them one observation with a view 'to induce them to find any man guilty of the slightest offence, much less of an offence which involved his life, unless there were evidence to satisfy their minds that he was guilty, not beyond all possibility of doubt, but upon all reasonable doubt upon that issue. A conspiracy to establish a Republic in Ireland by force was a conspiracy to depose the Queen from her Royal title and dignity, and if they were of opinion that the prisoners, or either of them, entered into the conspiracy to depose the Queen by .establishing a Republic, and that they employed force for that purpose, then the prisoners were in point of fact guilty of high treason. The learned gentleman proceeded to answer the arguments of the prisoner's counsel on the question of identity, with respect to which he contended that the evidence in both cases failed. He thus repelled the attacks on the Crown for its mode of conducting the case : " With reference to the absence of the document sworn to by Massy, the reason it had not been produced had been satisfactorily explained. Great as the crime of high treason was, it would be a greater crime if a Minister of State allowed the life of a prisoner to be called into question, if he was wrongly put forward on a charge. The prisoner liad,)ro,grievance to complain of, by the document The CioNyn liad acted in ad 'c-Ordance With law in the case. , ,If this document had been an information on which the prisoner had been committed, or any other document which the law gave the prisoner a right to, it could not be kept back, -whether it was material to the prisoner or not ; but if he had no legal right to it, there was no reason why it should be produced. It had been said that the Government either was guilty of fostering the insurrection or disbelieving their wit nesses. He asked.the jury to reject with indigna tion the insinuation that the Government could have acted so atrociously as to dr aw their own people into a rebellion in order that they might crush it. But neither was it necessary for them at all to adopt the other suggestion—that the Go vernment disbelieved their own witnesses. Another complaint had been made by the prisoner's counsel that the prisoners Burke and Doran were tried to gether. The reasonableness of this c3inplaint would be seen when he reminded tha jury that the 11 prisoners who were on the first day brought to the bar had been asked if they would join in their challenges, and that if they had done so they could all, or the greater number of them have been tried together. Mr. Butt had also made some observations complaining of the length of the list of witnesses which had been presented to the prisoner, but those names had boon furnished with reference to all the prisoners, and not particularly to the two now upon their trial. Having gone calmly and clearly through the evidence which had been given by the witnesses, the Solicitor-General concluded by expressing a hope that the jury were satisfied that he had kept to the promise he had made at the outset—not to venture upon one irre levant or exciting topic." The Lord Chief Justice stated that he would de liver his charge to the jury in the morning, and the Court then adjourned. The police, after several unsuccessful efforts, have arrested a " centre" named Thomas Slattery, at Kilfeaale, in the county Tipperary. DUBLIN, Wednesday Evening. The Lord Chief Justice commenced his charge to the jury by half-past 10 o'clock this morning, in the case of General Burke and Patrick Doran, and con • eluded at 10 minutes to 3, when the jury retired. At 6 o'clock they returned with a verdict of 4 , Guilty" against both the prisoners, accompanied by a recommendation of Doran to the favourable consideration of the Court. Th e prisoners were then asked whether they had a nything to say why sentence of death should not be pronounced upon them. Burke addressed the Court in a clear, firm, powerful voice, and in most impressive language. He denied solemnly the statements of some of the witnesses ; he denounced Massy as a traitor and a perjurer; he had nothing to regret or to blush for, and he was willing to die for his country. The speech had a thrilling effect, and brought tears to many eyes. _ _ Doran made a few remarks, in which he charged some of the witnesses with swearing falsely. The Judges then retired for a few minutes ; when they returned the Chief Justice pronounced the sentence. The prisoners, he said, had been found guilty, and the verdict was quite warranted by the evidence. They had committed high treason —the greatest of crimes, and one week's success might have caused loss of life which no one could estimate. The Judges had no power to alter the sentenceof the law, and he warned Doran not to cal culate on mercy. Burke was a ringleadar through out the conspiracy. lie was taken red-handed in rebellion, and had forfeited his life. The Court could only postpone the day of execution as long as possible. his lordship then put on the black cap, and pronounced sentence of death on the 29th inst. The prisoners were then removed, and the Court adjourned, another jury having been sworn for the trial of INl‘Cafferty. Hyde Park and the Reform League Meeting. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,L--In the columns of a contemporary yester day was contained au announcement to the public that it is understood that " her Majesty's Govern ment have determined to take active and strenuous measures for the suppression of the Reform meeting to be held in Hyde Park on Monday, May 6."- In the absence of any announcement officially on the part of the Government, I may, perhaps, be permitted to question the correctness of what has been so announced, and to inquire what may be the reasons, or supposed reasons, for the Government coming to any such determination, if the fact be so. On the 25th July last I, in company with Colonel Dickson, Messrs. Brooke and Cunningham, and other members of the Reform League, held meet ing after meeting, and addressed large and nume rous bodies of people, in the same park in the in terests of law and order. We did so after both the police and military had been ineffectually employed to preserve order, and we did so with the full consent and authority of, and by express arrangement with, the present Government through Mr. Walpole. To the admirable conduct of Mr. Walpole on that oc casion, apart from a misunderstanding to which I will not now further advert, I have borne and shall ever bear the warmest testimony. The deep anxiety which he evinced on that occasion to avert the im minent possibility—l may more truly say the immi nent certainty—of a struggle, which might have been general and sanguinary, not only in the park, EXTRACTS FROM REPORT. In the past three years the New Policies effected were— Reported in 1865, 1,650, amounting to £270,736; 1866, 2,073, £353,700; 1867, 2,815, £561,175. Total Number, 6,568, amounting to £1,125,611. The New Annuttl Premiums of past year, £15,318. In the Four Triennial Periods the New Policies issued wore—First Three Years, 3,196, for £507,061; Second Three Years, 9 ,926, for £194,066 ; Third Three Years, 3,941, for £629,517 ; Fourth Three Years, 6,568, for £1,125,611. Total, 16,631, for £2,756,281. So that the New Business of the last Three Years has been greater than that of the preceding Six Years. The Policies in force this day are 11,637 in Number, amounting to £1,980,258. The Death Claims and Bonuses paid in the year under 67 polices amounted to £14,199. The amount paid for Death Claims, and Bonuses paid since the establishment of the Company, under 399 Policies, is £64,447. The ACCUMULATED FUND has been increased during the Year by no less than Twenty-eight Thousand Nine Hundred and Nine Pounds, making the amount laid by in the last three years, Sixty-live Thousand Nine Hundred and Seventy-Eight Pounds, and now amounts to One Hundred and Twenty-seven Thousand Nine Hundred and Seventy-eight Pounds Sterling. The Accumulated Fund has thus been nearly doubled at the end of each triennial period. A Reversionary Bonus of 11 per Cent. per annum on Sums Assured under Participating Policies was declared. IRELAND. DUBLIN, May 1. Yesterday ought to have been the great day at Green- street. Two of our most popular advocates, great masters of invective and declamation, were to speak in defence of two men charged with compass ing the death of the Queen and levying war against the Government. One of the counsel, Mr. Butt, is an ex-M.P., a champion of the Celtic race, whose cause he has recently been pleading in eloquent pamphlets ; the other, Mr. Dowse, is a candidate for the " Maiden City," which he hopes to win at the next election from the son of the Lord Lieu tenant. It was expected that both would deal largely in impeachment of the Irish Government and denunciation of its Star Chamber proceedings, for which Mr. Butt threatened some of its agents with prosecution. In former times such a state of things would have attracted crowds that would have filled all the approaches to the court; yet when I entered Green-street yesterday I thought for a moment that the court had been closed for the day. There was not a soul in the streets about the build ing, nor a cab or car in waiting, and the police at the gates were less disposed to be obstructive than I have seen them since the trials commenced. Within the court the only difference from previous days was that a greater number of ladies had come to hear the speeches. These are remarkable facts, ex plain them how we may. At the opening of the court it was arranged that Mr. Butt should speak on the case generally, call ing one witness, Mr. Anderson, for the defence ; Mr. Dowse for the prisoner Burke, and Mr. O'Loghlen for Doran. At the conclusion of Mr. Butt's speech, Mr. Lee Anderson was produced, and wag exa mined by Mr. Ologhleu, who deposed as follows :
