DUBLIN, April 24. The Special Commission will resume its sittings this morning, at 11 o'clock, when one of the Fenian prisoners will be put on his trial for high treason. A. correspondence appeared in the Dublin Evening Post last night, which proves that the information I gave you about the prisoners' counsel, though con tradicted, was correct. Mr. Lawless, one of the solicitors assigned to them by the judges, wrote on the llth.kinst. to the Under-Secretary inquiring " what provision was made for counsel's fees and general costs of the defence, as the prisoners had no means of their own for the purpose," and received the following reply : " Dublin Castle, April 16. " Sir,-1 am directed by the Lord-Lieutenant to inform you that the subject of your letter of the 11th having been brought under the consideration of the Attorney-General , he is of opinion that rea sonable fees for two counsel assigned to the pri soners indicted for high treason are to be allowed, and a fair sum may be paid to the attorney, but not by way of a bill of c osts, and that the amount mus t be regulated by the Crown Solicitor.'—l am, sir, your obedient servant, "THOMAS LARCOM. " John Lawless, Esq." On the 20th Mr. Lawless wrote to Mr. M. Ander son, the Crown Solicitor, stating that he had called twice at his office without being fortunate enough to meet him, to speak on the subject of fees, &c. Mr. Anderson, in reply, stated that, in pursuance of the authority given him by the Government, he would consent to a fee of 25 guineas being given to each Queen's Counsel with his brief for all the pri soners included in the same indictment, and a re freshing fee of £3 3s. per day each day after the first during which the prisoners should be on trial; and to fees of 15 guineas with briefs, and two gui neas a day after, for counsel of the outer bar. To the attorney he would give a lump sum at the rate of three guineas for each prisoner to whom he had been assigned. A letter is published from Mr. Butt, Q.C., dated April 10, in which he s'iys it is 'plain that the Government must increase the fees, and he would not place himself in the position of defending a pri soner for high treason on such terms. He adds : " I have, however, been publicly assigned by the judges as counsel for those prisoners. This was done without my consent .or, any previous applica tion to me. But lam sure it was done from a.belief on the part of the prisoners that named me that the 1867. intimation of the Chief Justice meAut that they were to select their counsel at.the public expense.. " Under all 01 . 3 circumstances, I have made up my mind in the eases in which I have been already assig . nel not to d.Aine the dory put upon me by the' judges because the prisoners have not the means of defence. I will, therefore, accept any brief you s nil me for the defence of airy of those prisoners, but I will not accodt of any fee that is paid by the Go vernment. You may depend upon my undivided attention to the cases." Mr. Butt wrote this before he had any idea of the amount of fees tint would be .granted by the Crown. Mr. Dowse, Q.C., wilt) was assigned as his colleague, has written that he considers the amount " altogether insufficient," and that, in justice to himself and the profession, he could not accept " such a miserable remuneration for his services." He would much prefer defending the prisoners gratuitously than to lower the profession by accept ing briefs on such important cases with such fees marked upon them. Mr. O'Loghlen also declined to receive the fees named. Mr. Dowse, in a second letter, sly's:— "I know ➢ir. Butt has lately entertained the opinion that he should not receive any fees, small or great, from the CroWn. I do not, however, think that the public or the prisonerS would consider that we would discharge our duties less effectively for the men who are to stand their trial if we were paid by the Crown. I have reason to believe that the pri ..soners themselves, when they • asked' ttave__tia assigned, thought that the Crown would pay us our fees. I think lam entitled to add that, whatever the public or the prisoners might think, that with me it would make no difference in the discharge of my duties from what source my fees came, so long as they were given to me ly you as the prisoners' attorney." This is rather an awkward business, considering the array of counsel engaged for the prosecution, and the liberal scale ou which the Crown remune rates its own advocates. Messrs. Butt and Dowse are by far the most eminent counsel now at the Irish Bar. The Royal Dublin Society's Spring Show com menced yesterday. it consists of breeding and fat cattle, sheep, swine, and farming implements, &c. It has realised the rather sanguine expectations of the society, both in the number of entries and in the quality of the stock, particularly the short horns, of which there are 195 bulls and 120 cows and heifers. The appearance of the animals ranged along the great agricultural hall, in their comfortable stalls, after passing their competitive examination, the winners distinguished by ribands and medals, was certainly very agreeable evidence of the interest the gentry take in agricultural improvement, and of the success of this society, which has done so much in this department of its labours. The great prizes of the society are the challenge cups. The first of these is the Townley Plate, value £155. The cup was originally presented by the Messrs. Burdon, proprietors of the Irish Farmers' Gazette, for the animal of the breeding classes which, in the opinion of the judges, possesses the greatest merit. It was permanently won by Colonel Townley, who contri buted 100 guineas to replace it, to which sum the society added £5O. It has been won this time by Mr. Richard Challoner, of Kingscourt, Maynalty, for his short. horned bull "Sovereign," to which was also awarded the £2O prize and bronze medal for the best short-horned bull calved in 1866. The other great prize is the Irish Railway Challenge Cup, value £l5O, to be awarded to the best bull of any breed, over two years and under five years of age. This cup was won by Mr. Edward J. Smith, of Islanmore, Crown, for his bull " 'Actor," which also carried off the £lO prize and bronze medal. Among other exhibitors who won prizes for bulls were Mr. Robert G. Cosley, Stradbally-hall, Queen's county, the Marquis of Drogheda, and Mr. J. Moffat, of Enniscorthy. Ir. the class of short-horned yearling heifers, the prizes were won by Mr. J. Meadows, Wexford ; Mr. J. Anderson, Waoerford ; and Mr. R. Welsted, of Castle Roche. Considerable interest was felt as to the award to be given to the section for cows of any age, in which there were 14 entries, the exhibitors including Major Hamilton, Sir A. J. Bellingham, and Sir Percy Nugent. The judges gave their fiat in favour of Sir A. E. Bellingham for both first and second prizes, the former being taken by " Myrtle" and the latter by " Dewdrop." There was a considerable show of Kerrys. In this depart ment the prizes were won by Mr. R. S. Cusack, Captain Bagley, Mr. T. Butler, Mr. A. Comyns, and Mr. J. Brady. In the department of fat cattle the entries were not numerous, but the animals on view were in capi tal order. The first silver medal for the best short horned heifer not exceeding four years oil was won by an animal exhibited by Major Borrowes, of New bridge. The second silver medal was awarded to a heifer belonging to one of the largest farmers in Ire land, Mr. Allen Pollok, county of Galway. In the other varieties of cattle, comprising Devons, Alder neys, and Ayrshires, the competition was very small, some of the sections having no entries. In the department of sheep, in which the entries are few, Mr. Wm. Owen,. of Blesinton, obtained the first prize for the best Leicester one-shear ram, and Mr. Allen Pollok for thebest fat wedder. Lord Cler mont, of Ravendale-park, Newry, won both the first and second prizes for the best boars. Very few per sons attended the show yesterday except gentlemen who had business as exhibitors or purchasers, the ad mission fee being 10s. up to 4 o'clock, and - ss. after that hour. This is the day for fashionable visitors,. The Lord-Lieutenant and the Marchioness of Aber corn, who returned to town from Baron's-court on Monday evening, will visit the show at 3 o'cl Jek, and in the evening his Excellency will preside at the meeting in the Royal Dublin Society-house for the announcement and distribution of prizes. The exhibition of implements, machines, seeds, manures, vehicles, &c., is unusually large, no fewer than 57 firms being represented. There arc 10 stands in the Shelbourne-hall, 16 in the courtyard and Shelbourne-yards, and 29 on the galleries of the Agricultural-hall. All the modern implements and appliances are shown, and the visitor may ac quaint himself with all the newest inventions which the march of science has given to the agricultural world. Sir J. Arnott and Co. show several speci, mens of winseys, a branch of manufacture hitherto confined to England and Scotland, which were woven at the Reformatory, Golden -bridge. The material is of the best quality, the texture close and firm, and the colours varied and suitable. Forty people are employed in the manufacture of I these winseys, and are enabled to earn a respectable sum per week. Police-constable Kelly was brought up on remand, yesterday, before Mr. O'Donnell, charged with com plicity in the escape of Kirwan from the Meath Hospital, where he was under treatment for a wound received at Tallaght, Mr. Curren appeared for the prisoner, and urged that there were no grounds for sending him for trial. Mr. O'Donnell, however, sent the prisoner for trial at the Commis sion, and refused to take bail. It is stated that the absconding Crown witness Smith was not a prisoner, but came forward volun tarily to give information. The police, therefore, are not to blame for his escape. The War-office authorities having decided to abandon Ballincollig as a military station, the t r oops stationed there will, it is e x p ected, be with drawn during the present week, and distributed at Cork, Limerick, and Fermoy, and we understand that the barracks and other Government property will be sold as early as possible. It appears that Mr. Hodsman had no idea of crossing the Channel in his balloon, which landed safely near Appleby at midnight, having started from the Exhibition Palace, Dublin, at 5 o'clock p.in on a hazy evening. Not.only did he ne g lect ro-ta ' ke any clothing or provisions, but, what• was oi the highest importance, the india-rubber air 4d. STAMPED sd. cushions, which, allixed round the car; render it, in case of a descent upon the sea, a tolerably efficient lifeboat. As the balloon passed over Howth the voyager was observed to throw out some ballast, and it. was supposed that he would endeavour to de scend in that locality ; but he evidently felt it was impracticable, and there was, therefore, no alterna tive other than to cro, , s the Irish Channel. The next : ilings of the balloon did not reach Dublin till yesterday afternoon, and the length of time which elapsed had led to the fear that Mr. Hodsman had met with some misadvervure. This is Mr. Hods man's second aerial adventure. DUBLIN', Wednesday Night The Spcial Commission was re-opened this morn ing. Five prisoners pleaded " Not Guilty" to the charge of high treason. The whole thy was occu pied in legal objections to the indictment and the jury panel. The Lord-Lieutenant visited the cattle show at 3 p.m., and presided to-night at the meeting of the Royal Dublin Society for the declaration of prizes. Replying to a vote of thanks passed with acclama tion, his Excellency congratulated the meeting on the'complete success of the show, notwithstanding dis•tdvantages. He recommended the cultivation of flax by small farmers, with greater attention to the comfort of labourers, and spoke hopefully of the prospects of the country. WEDNESDAY. NEWSPAPER , - qIV • - _ • $:74:4, 7 Poole's office, and saw th lso nd the complainant and seize her dl . T prisoners placed the bundle on. the window sill and opened it. Mr. Tyrwhitt - itlgnired if the prisoners belonged to the picket. Witness said they did ; and, in reply to Mr. Sayer, said two of the prisoners took hold of the bundle, but he could not swear which two. Mr. Sayer, on behalf of the prisclners, was ready to admit they had no right to search the complain ant's bundle, but he denied any intimidation had boen use I. 'The prisoners Itrd no doubt been guilty of a common assault in law, *but it was an assattP, of a trivial description only. The object of tho p ciso ncrs in looking into the butulie was merely to see what was in it, and certainly that could not be c died an act of intimidation. Mr. Tyrwhitt, said the tailors' proceedings had not reached that point yet ; when it ha 1, they would learn how it woul I be dealt with at that court. That a set of men who could earn ample wages. and who set themselves up as high class and intelligent workmen, should meddle with an old woman's bundle was a poor and paltry thing ; and no doubt the public would think so. It would perhaps be enough in the present case if he ordered the priso ners to find bail, each in £5, to keep the peace for six months. Loud applause having followed this decision, Mr. Tyrwhitt remarked that he could see by the manner in which his decision had been received by the assembled tailors the' extent to which the affair was likely to run, but he gave them full notice that the justice of the country would meet any violence they might be guilty of. Bail was tendered and accepted. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING. As usual after the Two Thousand day the appearance of the course was quiet, and devoid of the bustle and (excite ment apparent on the great race. A moderate card com prised eight events—the first of which was the Prince of Wales' Stakes, easily won by The Peer defeating Black Prince. The fiery D'Estournel was brought out for the next event, and some curiosity was evinced to see how far ho would exhibit his wayward propensities with Custance in the saddle. His jockey held him with a firm hand throughout, not giving him a chance to turn his headeither one way or the other, and he won with consummate ease. As much as 5 to 2 was laid on Baron Rothschild's good looking colt Suffolk, who contended against a field of 24. He had not much difficulty in disposing of this number, and came in an easy winner by several lengths After wards offers of 15 to 1 against him for the Derby of 1868 were made. The last two races were run amid drenching rain, and there seemed every prospect of the weather con tinuing wet.

Since then notices have been issued by the company informing the public that all the traffic will from to-day be carried on as before the strike. For all practical purposes the strike in the northern section of the North Eastern Railway is at an end. The company ran a considerable number of extra trains on the local lines on Easter Monday and Tues day, and the traffic arrangements were carried out without the least difficulty. Most of the trains which were withdrawn from the main line are being re stored. A number of the old hands are coming back to the company in this section. At Guisboroagh Petty Sessions, on Tuesday, Wil liam Gladders, passenger engine driver on the Stock ton and Darlington section of the North Eastern line, was summoned for leaving his work without notice on the 11th April. Mr. Steaveuson, of Dar lington, who prosecuted, stated that the defendant was an old servant of the Shildon Works Company, and made good wages. His earnings for last year end ing March amounted to £l7O 13s. 6d., and during the twelve months he had only worked 306 days. On the 11th he had left his work without giving notice, and he should have given a month's notice. The railway company on this section had been put to very great inconvenience by the strike among the engine -drivers, but they are n3w in a position to run all the ordi nary trains. The bench convicted the defendant, and abated the whole of his wages. The chairman said that they did not imprison, and would grant a case as desired by Mr. Webster, who appeared for the de fendant, on the ground that be (the defendant) did not come within the meaning of the Act. Mr. Stea venson said that there was a summons out against an engineman who had to be tried at Middlesborough on Friday, but as the Shildon Works Company were not proceeding with these cases from any vindictive feeling, and as they had obtained a conVictiotr show ing that the men had acted wrongfully, the case against the enginemau alluded to would be with drawn. THE TAILOR 3' STRIK3. The state of affairs in reference to the above strike had changed but little yesterday from the position it was in on Tuesday last ; that little the men con sider to be in their favour. The explanatory letter sent by the committee to the masters on Tuesday, stating their willingness yet to meet the masters at the council board to settle the dispute in an amicable manner with the aid of arbitrators, bas created a very favourable impression amongst a large bxly of the employers, several of whom yesterday expressed their desire to come to terms with their men, some going so far as to state their willingness to accept the log of the men. On this latter point, however, the committee require the signature of the employer before they allow any of his men to resume work, to prevent any miitake hereafter from pressure from the other employers to induce the withdrawal of a verbal promise. The resolutions come to on Tues day evening by the out-door workers not to take out any work from the shops on strike has been a great blow to the larger employers, who have here. tofore depended upon this portion of the labour market to enable them to meet any dispute with their regular workmen. On the other hand, a large body of the employers connected with the Masters' Association publicly express their determination to resist to the uttermost the claims of the men, and have called a general meeting of the masters at the Ilanover-square Rooms for Saturday next, to con sider the best means of resistance. The men, how ever, express confidence that the strike will be vir tually settled in their favour by that time. Letters were yesterday received by the committee from the Paris tailors' committee, stating that the strike there was progressing very favourably for the men, funds being plentiful. They say the men of London need be under no apprehension of foreign workmen coming over. CHARGE OF INTIMIDATION. At the Marlborough-street Police-court, yester day, John Woolfender, Thomas Seckroyd, and William Gracie, three operative tailors, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with intimidating Ann New land, a tailoress, for the purpose of preventing her from following her lawful occupation. Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, appeared for the defendants. Ann Newland, wife of a tailor, living at No. 10, Silver-street, said about 4 o'clock on Tuesday after noon she was coming out of Mr. Poole's tailoring establishment in Saville-row, when . the defendants came up to her and ordered her to open a bundle which she carried. They opened the bundle, and looked at some clothes which she had received for the purpose of making alterations. They wanted to see to the bottom of the bundle, but she refused to let them look. The court, which was filled with journeymen tailors, mow became a scene of momentary con fusion. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would not permit any bully ing by a parcel of journeymen tailors nor any one else. If they did not behave with decency he would order the court to be cleared. complainant continued—She had worked for Mr. Poole for Al. years. Mr. Poole came out of the house, and seeing how he was beset gave the pri soners into custody. By Mr. Sayer—No one assaulted her. They did not say that if she persisted in working for Mr. Poole they would do something to her or her hus band. She showed them what she thought proper in the bundle, and nothing else. Mr. Henry George Poole, tailor, of Saville-row, said lie had employed the complainant and her hus band for about eleven years. In conseq uen ce of there being a " strike" am ong the journeymen, "pickets" were placed about to see that no one worked for him. 'llThile talking to a gentleman be saw the complainant struggling with the three prisoners. The prisoners were searching her bundle to ascer tain if she was taking work away, intending, of course, to stop it, if they objected to the kind of work. The men on strike would not allow any one to work for him. Seeing the complainant crying, he went forward and desired the prisoners to go away, and a policeman making his appearance he gave theca into custody. - _ . - Ur.
