DUBLIN, May 9• James Gorman, a respectable looking young man, was arraigned at the Commission Court yesterday for high treason. He refused to plead by the ad vice of his counsel, Mr. Butt, who raised a point on the ground that the prisoner had not been fur nished with a copy of the indictment ten days be fore, and he put in a declaratory plea to that effect. The Court ruled that the plea ought not to be re ceived. That being so, Mr. Butt said the onus rested with the Crown of proving the service of a copy of the indictment and also a copy of the lists of wit nesses and jurors. Mr. S. Lee Anderson then de posed that he had delivered those documents to the prisoner in .proper time. lie pleaded not guilty. Three constables deposed that the prisoner was among those who attacked the police station at Stepaside. But their identification of him was much too doubtful to warrant the jury in convicting on such evidence, and besides the witnesses admit ted that he had no arms, and that he did nothing but walk along the road. Mr. Green, a farmer, proved that he came to his house on the day in question, being very ill in consequence of a fall over a ditch while escaping from the Fenians, and request ing that a prison doctor might be sent for. Dr. Franklin, who attended him, deposed that he was really suffering from an internal hurt, and not sham ming disease. To the police and all the other wit nesses the prisoner made the same consistent state ment, to the effect that he went out to take a walk on the Rathgar road on Shrove Tuesday evening, when he was met by a body of insurgents, echo com pelled him to accompany them when they went to attack the police stations. At this point the Lord Chief Justice interposed and said there was no case to go to the jury. One of the jurors then exclaimed? " My lord, that was my opinion and detcrmina- Gm] !" This vehement declaration excited general laughter. A formal verdict of acquittal was handed down, and the prisoner was at once discharged. The Lord Chief Justicct announced that the Court of Criminal Appeal would sit on Monday next to tonsider thepoints reserved in the case of 11Peafferty. There is the greatest difficulty in obtaining juries for these triads. Over 100 jurors have failed to answer to their names, and hays incurred tines of v2O each. - In consequence of this difficulty the Crown and the prisoner's counsel agreed that the jury in the box should try the next case, which is to come on this morning. The Court then ad journed about half-past 4 o'clock. Two influential Roman Catholic clergymen, the Very Rev. Dr. Sprat and Canon Pope, are exert ing themselves to save the lives of the convicted Fenians. Through their exertions a requi.iition is being signed requesting the Lord Mayor to convene a public meeting to adopt a memorial to the Queen, praying that mercy may be extended to the persons found.guilty of high treason. A similar meeting is to be convened by the Mayor of Cork. Two con siderations will, no doubt, influence the Govern ment in this matter. • First, would the punishment of death on the gallows deter the American filibus ters from making future attempts to disturb the peaee of this country ; and, second, what would be the-effect-mrtlyrtAiviettvrervfliMeMPNimst who sympathise with such Movements and desire the overthrow of the British Government, and without whose sympathy all such foreign efforts must be abortive ? My own impression is that while the first object would be gained until the American Government could be induced to inter fere, the hatred of the Government at home, on which the American Fenians count, would be made more bitter and intense. Mercy would tend most to conciliation, and after the displays of British power and Irish loyalty which the crisis has called forth, no one could say with any semblance of truth that the Government could be intimi dated. It is evident to all the world that the great effort of the authorities has been to restrain their overwhelming force, so as to inflict as little injury as possible on the miserable insurgents; while in every case where the latter attempted fighting, their action was characterised by the most con temptible feebleness and faint-heartedness. In the prosecution of the prisoners, the authorities, far from being vindictive, have shown the utmost in dulgence compatible with the proper discharge of their duties. It would be a happy thing if the re sult of the Commissioners would be to heal old national wounds, instead of inflicting new ones—to inspire gratitude rather than inspire terror. Noonan, the Killarney Centre, who left the country after the rising, has been arrested in London. The Division of Last Night. (From the Times.) The Compound Householder has once more had his day, or rather his night, and will, we trust, henceforth be satisfied. A majority of 66 in favour of the Government in a large House is decisive. Yesterday saw, indeed, the culminating debate of the Session on the Reform Bill. The fate of the Government scheme, the future of Reform, hung in the balance. On the one sick lay a plan for amending our electoral constitution, of which it may at least be said that by this time its future operation, if adopted, is fairly understood. The Ali eisterial proposals have been turned over and over, and scrutinized under every possible aspect, and we know what they are. They are not faultless, but faultlessness is rare. They are open to criticism and to commendation. They offsr the franchise to a very large /meshes of persons who are now excluded from voting, and yet the offer is made under conditions to which no single per son can object, though they will prove effectual in keeping out the improvident, the careless, and the nomadic householder. On the other hand, what had the Opposition, or the energetic few who stimu lated the mass of members on the Liberal benches into opposition, to submit for consideration ? Far from having a clear scheme of their own, they bad nothing " but clouds instead and perdur able dark." The passionate energy with which Mr. Gladstone supported Mr. Hibbert's Amend ment—a temper altogether dissimilar to that shown by Mr. Hibbert himself—disdained to con sider the alternative involved in the rejection of the Government proposals and another failure of Reform. Mr. Gladstone was defeated, and if any hoped that he might succeed we congratulate him on his disappointment. Had the extravagant dreams nourished by some of, the Opposition been realised, the dreamers would have awakened to a sense of their own imprudence. They would have found themselves carried away by their own success ' —borne along by the spirit they had evoked, forced by the exigencies of their situation to pursue ob jects from • which they recollect with dread even while pursuing them. The House of Commons wisely declined to send Reform adrift in deference to a contention too impalpable for common appre hension. Satisfied that the last propositions of the Chancellor of the Exchequer were at once just and practicable, they accepted the Ministerial plan of emancipating compound householders, and infe rentially rejected Mr. Hibbert's alternative scheme, by a majority of 66 in a committee of 578 members. It is pleasant to know that, apart from the sound conclusion at which the House of Commons last night arrived, the long night's debate was not wholly thrown away. Many great orators spoke, and with great power, and yet the result of their oratory was small. We have to thank Mi. Hibbert for pointing out, in the very fair argument with which he advocated his amendment, that the Compound Householder, with whom every one is now familiar, is misnamed, and that he ought to be called the Tenant of a Compounding Landlord. There is a fine sense of the nicety of language in this sound distinction, and the house received it with just approval, although it is to be feared that the new description of the occupier who has been the innocent cause of so much discussion is too long to come into familiar use. The Compound House holder will remain the Compound Householder as long as he figures in our municipal system ; but we may be pardoned if we make the most of Mr. Hib bert's observation, because, setting it aside, the long hours the House of Commons spent over the Tenant of a Compounding Landlord disclosed absolutely nothing new. Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright re peatad a familiar tale. We may, perhaps, make an exception in favour of Mr. Mill's apprehension that too many Compound Householders would be brought on the Parliamentary Register by the machinery others have denounced as too cumbrous for use. Mr. Gladstone first assumed the burden of proving the impolicy of accepting the 'Ministerial plan, and his speech was excusably voluminous, as it travelled anew over all the now familiar grounds of objection to it. Ile receded a little from his former position, that the Compound Householder paid, as it is, the full rates incident on his occupation, now declaring that he pretty nearly did 60; but this trifling qualification was the single point of variation front what we have heard before. Ho did not even take the trouble to refer to the reAsoning by which many of his arguments have been met, and, as we conceive, refuted. He urged, for instance, with much elaboration, the question submitted by our correspondent " H." in our columns yesterday, why there should be any difference in the facility of access to the register dependent upon whether an occupier paid his rates directly to the overseer or in weekly driblets to his landlord. The very slightest acquaintance with the habits of the class of weekly tenants is sufficient to answer the question. A landlord is clothed by the law with such powers for exacting his dues that the most shiftless of occu piers cannot escape him. Payment of rent is a necessary, an ine v it a bl e consequent of oanpatfo n e his satetheal chance of can be ainadeeisetprtedcads, i and if the if be h tenant s Inaosn a a tenant is small. The ovarseer has no such sum mary remedies. Ile cannot realise his claims by making a• distraint mero motu, but is forced to seek his remedies for non-payment by a roundabout process. The ability and willingness to meet the overseer's demands directly are the tests of fitness for receiving Parliamentary privileges;- they enable the Legislature to put in motion what Mr. Glad stone in hapoier hours once called, borrowing the phrase from the students of physical science, " the principle of natural selection." It is the personal discharge of public burdens which cut be evaded 11.eati•!e, net easily enforced which affords a cri teHon of the fitness of au occupier for enfran chisement, and not, as Mr. wadstonc and Mr. Lowe, who followed him, would have us suppose, the mere fact that some modicum of rat can be screwed out of an occupier by converting his land lord into a parochial agent. The fine of which we heard so much, and at one time properly heard so much, lias become " beautifully less" as the Govern meat method of treating the compound householder has been modified, and is now of such vanishing dimensions that the most vehement opponent of the Ministry could make little of it last night. Mr. Lowe pointed out with great accuracy that the landlord-, being relieved of a liability, would lose his compensation for it, but he could only surmise that an attempt might be made to extract from the pocket of the tenant the bonus . thus taken away. Mr. J. B. Smith, from his knowledge of the com petition among landlords, confidently predicted that the attempt, if made, would prove a failure, atp,l that the effect Of the Government scheme would be to subject the compound householder who sought enfranchisement to no more than his existing bur ;dens. lle will hi,l% - e — to Meet them in a‘different way, in a way indicative of his qualifications to per form other political duties,. and . this is all. The majority of the House was of this opinion, and not improbably agreed with Mr. Smith in the condem nation he pronounced on the policy of compositions for rates; but, without entering into this general question, the committee was content to approve the Government plan, and inferentially to discard Mr. Hibbert's amendment from further consideration. The vote of the committee could be no longer doubtful when the nature of the latest proposals of the Government had been announced. It had already decided by a considerable majority in favour of the principle of making the personal payment of rates a condition of the franchise, and nothing remaine d but to prevent the incidence of the fine which was, involved in the machinery as first devised by the Government. The authority given to the compound • householder to deduct from the rent accruing to his landlord the full amount of the rates paid by him self relieved the Ministerial measure of this defect, and, unless the committee saw fit to recede from its first decision, of which no trace was apparent, it was inevitable that the Ministry should again re ceive its support. The committee has, indeed, ex pressed its former opinion with greater emphasis. Mr. Bright's argument was no more than au attempt to renew the debate which was 'decided before Easter, and, consistently enough, the familiar comparison of Birmingham and Sheffield, described by Mr. Roebuck as mere " stump oratory," was once more put in requisition. We are glad to know that the struggle to .reverse the decision of last month was unsuccessful. Another obstacle to the settlement of the Reform question has been repaired. The animosity of their opponents has proved in effectual. A complete scheme has been approved after exhaustive debating on its essential features, and we may hope that the remainder of the work to be accomplished may be achieved in comparative peace and 'security. TELLERS. ITibbert, .T. T. Whitbread, S. CAUSES OF DEATH IN MADRAS. Dr. Smith, the secretary of the Sanitary Commis sion, in his report on the causes of death in the town of Madras, states that the year 1865, as compared with former periods, was healthy. The registration of dea!lls in Madras is not compulsory, so that the mortality returns are still somewhat imperfect. The number of deaths registered during the year amounted to 11,216, being 807 in excess - of the number in the previous year, which was, however, extraordinarily healthy. The death rate in 1865 was 26 per 1,000 of population ; the average annual rate in the five years 1860-4 was 30 per 1,000. More than one-third of the deaths of chil dren under 1 year of age were caused by convul sions ; the proportional number of children dying from this cause to the entire population was as 1 to 8, while in London the proportion was as 1 to 30. This excessive mortality is chiefly attributed to the effects of foul air, overcrowding, and filth, which,:it would appear, destroy infant life through the opera tion of their poisonous influence upon the brain and nerves. Miasmatic diseases—the chief causes of the mortality among the adult population—are much influenced by the variations in the climate. The prin cipal diseases under this head are cholera, small-pox, fevers, diarrhoea, and dysentery. The deaths regis tered from this class, to 1,000 persons livingin 1865 were 11, while in London the proportional number was only 4, showing how much yet remains to be done in the way of removing preventible sources of dis ease. Dr. Smith states, however, that it must be borne in mind that miasmatic diseases in Madras take the place of tubercular diseases in London. The deaths in Madras from smallpox were 399 be low the average—an improvement which is partly' attributed to the ex' ension of vaccination. The lliiidoos were the greatest suff,3rers from this dis ease, as they are prejudiced against vaccination through religious scruples; 39 of the 44 deaths by smallpox in 1865 occurred among this class of the community. The number of deaths from cholera was 941, and although this disease was never absent from the town throughout the year, except for a period of about three weeks in June, yet there were none of those severe outbreaks which characterised previDus epidemics. In 1862 and 1863 respectively the deaths from cholera were 3,635 and 1,681. It is noticed that the large number of deaths from dysentery in 1865—viz., 1,159, is an indication of the bad sanitary state of the town, and is owing to bad drainage, impure water, and a polluted atmosphere.

The children who will take part in the concert will be selected from all the principal Sunday schools in the metropolis, who with their teachers will number about G,OOO singers. As so large a number of Sunday schools, with the congregations to which they belong, will bo interested in this delightful movement, it is anticipated that the attendance at the Crystal Palace will be one of the largest of the season. The programme will to selected by a committee of gentlemen, on whose judgment every reliance can be placed, and only that kind of Music will be sung which can be introduced with pro , priety on 0114 an Werekting occasion.
