The same may be affirmed of the journals which were and are conducted on the principle by which the Whigs administered the Government. For ourselves, we may safely assert that no language can have been more unmistakeable than that which we have invari- ably employed in reprobation of repeal. Our strongest cen sures have been directed against the folly of the Repeal project, and to set forth the mischiefs to which the agitation got up by O'Connell and his coadjutors were producing among the population. This course we took —not merely when we might be supposed to act under the guidance of the marked reprehensions uttered by the Whig leaders. Since the agitation for Repeal has become an apparently national, rather than a local movement, and three provinces have become the theatre of its ope ration—since Repeal has disturbed the country with fears, and embarrassed the Government by its formid able proceedings, our language has been invariaby the same. No factious motives have induced us to vary our tone or qualify our expressions: We, still regard. the Repeal project with the same undeviating aversion, both as to its objects, and the means by which it is sought to be effected. We have said thus much in vindication of our consistency, and of the political party with which we are associated, against such imputations as those which are to-day hashed up again by the Times. The Times—without perceiving the tendency of its admissions, and the manner in which it satisfactorily ac counts for the origin and progress of the Repeal move ment on grounds other than those it has assigned—re fers to the fact, that the condition of the great mass of the people—a condition which the Whigs, when in office, laboured to improve—constitutes the element in which discontent finds its encouragement ; and that the utter hopelessness of improvement under the pre sent government imparts impulse to agitation, and invests it with the elements of alarm. The prose cution of O'Connell—the way in which that prosecution has been conducted—the various and often detailed ap pliances of irritation to an already excited people, crowned by the expulsion of every Roman Catholic from the jury panel on account of his creed—these insults and injuries, accompanied by a stern refusal to inquire into the general grievances, have stimulated the national dis like to Tory rule, which has taken the shape of Repeal agitation. The movement might have been crippled by conciliation—it has been fostered by coercion. The Times may rave—for it is not reasoning. That which is good in the exhortation, comes too late to be of use. That which is evil in it the - Minister's - has been already tried, and it has increased the evils it was designed to re medy. The Ministers have " plunged" themselves into the thickest difficulties that ever environed a Govern ment. They know not how to get out—whether by re treating—if they are, indeed, able to do so; or by daring the worst to themselves and the country, by attempting to proceed in the course which has been beset with dan gers, and which threatens to become yet more perilous. STANDARD.—It will have been seen, from our yesterday's report that the Court of Queen's Bench in Dublin was occupied until half-past six on Saturday evening . in hearing the arguments of counsel, as to the admissibility as evidence of certain printed documents issued from time to time by the Repeal Association, and produced in Court by the printer employed by that body. To support the charge of having collected money for the purposes of the conspiracy as laid in thein dictment, the counsel for the Crown proposed to read a paper headed " Instructions to Repeal Wardens," and signed Daniel O'Connell. It was objected by the counsel for the traversers, that the publication of these papers was not mentioned in the bill of particulars. The Court, however, decided that they should be admitted. The counsel for the traversers then objected, on the same ground, to the reading of a " Letter addressed to the "Secretary of the Repeal Association, by the author of the Green Book." The Attorney-General replied that the letter had appeared in the Nation newspaper, publications from which were included in the bill of par ticulars ; adding that in their objections the traversers' counsel confounded the charges against them with the mode' of proving them. The Crown had supplied a bill of particulars of the charges to be brought against them, but it was absurd to pretend that all the documents it was intended to use in evidence should have been set forth. The Court finally decided in favour of the admissibility of all the docu ments, and then adjourned until 10 o'clock on Monday. The admission of these papers is considered of much greater importance to the issue of the trial than any other proceeding which has yet taken place during its progress ; furnishing as they do the most complete evi dence of the connection of the traversers with the As sociation, and their consequent responsibility for the publications issued by that body. The most im portant of these documents are-1. The letters of the Secretary of the Loyal National Association, relative to the new Card of Members, by the author of the "Green Book."-2. A Plan for the Renewal of the Irish Parlia ment.-3. Instructions for the Appointment of Repeal Wardens.-4. Form for the Appointment of Repeal Wardens.-5. A Proclamation relating to the Arbitration Courts.-6. The Address of the Association to the Inha bitants of Countries subject to the British Crown.-7. Rules to be observed by Arbitrators in Districts.-8. Arbi tration Notices, &cc. A great many witnesses for the Crown remain yet to -be examined. The Morning Chronicle has attempted to palliate its own inconsistency in reference to these prosecutions by fictitious allegations against its Contemporaries, and has charged the Standard, among others, with having published " gar bled" extracts from the evidence. It is hardly necessary for us to defend ourselves from such an accusation. We have carefully abstained from any comment whatever on the evidence, although we have not hesitated to express our disgust at the paltry devices by which it has been at tempted to protract the proceedings. The only two ex tracts from the evidence to which we have directed atten tion, consisted of samples of the mode in which the cross examination of witnesses is being conducted by the counsel for the traversers, and which involved no fact that could have the slightest influence on the issue. One counsel asks a witness, whom he has in vain attempted to baffle by questions arising out of his evidence, " If he would have any objection to give a piece of Irish tabinet for a lady?" answers perhaps he should; when the counsel replies "then the lady would have the worst of the bargain." We certainly deprecated such a mode of cross-examination, and we repeat our opinion, that it was in the worst possible taste. With regard to the facts of the case, as detailed in the speech of the Attorney-General, and supported by the evidence, we have studiously refrained from all comment upon them ; and notwithstanding the threat of the Morning Chro nicle, that it will proceed to comment upon them de die in diem, we shall not be induced to follow its example. The Chronicle is not, however, alone in its breach of the rule ordinarily observed on such occasions ; the Whig and Radical press generally has evinced a dis regard for " decency" and " justice" in its attempts to intimidate the jury, and calumniate the wit nesses for the Crown, wholly without precedent. It was reserved for our Morning Contemporary, however, to warn one of the jurors that the trials would be protracted to a period which would render his death "if game," all but certain ; and that if he were wise, he would forthwith take to his bed and send in a physician's certificate. This, our impartial journalist suggested, with an ill-disguised chuckle, would bring the prosecu tions to an abrupt termination. THE STATE TRIALS. It is supposed that the Attorney-General, will bring the case for the Crown to a close about Thursday or Friday next. It is said that Mr. Henn will not speak for the traversers ' in c o ns equence of being briefed with his senior, Mr. Richard Moore, the late Solicitor-General. This will be a great loss to the traversers, and a great disappointment to the public, who expected a splendid display of argument and eloquence from this eminent advocate. He is, however, unremitting in his attention, and takes a very active part in all questions of law which arise in the course of the proceedings. The order of the speakers will, we understand, be as follows_ Mr. Sheil, M.P., will open for Mr. John O'Connell. Next Mr. Moore, for the Rev. Mr. Tierney. Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., for Mr. Duffy. Mr. Fitzgibbon, Q.C., for Dr. Gray. Mr. M'Donogh, Q.C., for Mr. Barrett. Mr. Hatchell, Q.C., for Mr. Ray. Mr. O'Connell will close this formidable array of forensic power, and, as you may infer, on his own behalf, but of course will not confine himself to a mere personal defence. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman will go into the entire case of the tra versers and the Association, and it is generally supposed will occupy two sitting days of the Court in the delivery of his address. He sits under the Clerk of the Crown each day, and devotes himself exclusively to the perusal of documents relating to his defence. Mr. Henn co-operates with the Member for Cork in taking copious notes of the evidence. It is right to mention that the conduct pursued by the Morning Herald, in handing over to the Government the notes of its Irish correspondent, has excited one general feel ing of disgust and indignation, not only among persons connected with the press, but also among the bar and the public. Such a proceeding is unexampled and unprecedented in the history of the newspaper press, and is not only calculated to lessen that confidence in the honour; and integrity of public journalists, which is so essential to the protection of the public interests, but also to bring journalism itself into odium and con tempt.—Dublin Letter in the Advertiser. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice 'WILLIAMS.) THE QUEEN V. THE CORPORATION OF LONDON. In this case Mr. KELLY, on the application of the Church wardens of St. Magnus arid St. Margaret, New Fish-street Hill, moved for a rule to show cause why a writ of mandamus should not issue against the Corporation of London, for the payment of 921., the amount of arrears for non-payment of a perpetual charge of 81. a year. The charge in question was created by Act of Parliament, in the year 1762, on the Bridge House estate, as compensation for a foot passage made under the steeple of St . Magnus Church. On the erec tion of the new bridge, the passage, not being any longer re quired, was encl ose d, an d th e C or poration have refused pay ment of the charge on account of it since the year 1832.

Cross-examined by Mr. THESIGER—Knew a public :house called the Eagle and Vulture. Went there and saw Styles and Savory come out together. Mr. Styles said that Mr. Savory was the person who sold the horse. Patrick Conolly, sergeant of police, gave similar testimony with respect to what took place at the police station. Mr. THESIGER addressed the jury for the defendant. He said when the jury were aware of the circumstances of this case, he felt confident that the plaintiff would be perfectly safe in their hands. Mr. Dulcken had, unfortunately for him, on a previous occasion, purchased a horse of the defendant, and had given a bill for a larger sum than he was bound to pay, leaving him a creditor of Mr. Styles to the amount of ten guineas. Mr. Styles, under these circum stances, recommended to Mr. Dulcken's notice a horse. Styles said the horse belonged to Mr. Savory who kept the St. Andrew's Tavern. The horse was eventually purchased for 45 guineas, a warranty being given by Mr. Savory as to its soundness. It was sent, on the day it was purchased, to Mr. Patteson, a livery stable-keeper, who immediately said that it was unsound, and not worth five guineas. The result was that the horse was sold by the defendant for 71. ss. He admitted, that under these circumstances, his client, a foreigner, took a step which could not be justified by law; but, considering the circumstances which led to it, and the slight imprisonment which took place, he thought the jury would give only a farthing damage;. Edward Cussens (examined by Mr. THESIGER) deposed to the trial of an action for 151., brought by the defendant against Mr. Styles, in November, in which the jury returned a ver dict for 81. against the latter. Some receipts were excluded, on account of the absence of stamps. William Taylor, a coachman to the defendant, deposed to the horse being brought home. Witness took him to Mr. I'atteson's stables. who pronounced him to be a roarer. Patteson, a livery-stable keeper in Marylebone-lane, de posed to the horse being brought to his stables. He found him a roarer. Styles at his stables admitted that he was not sound in the wind, and said that he did not intend that horse for Mr. Dulcken, and he should have another. Some further evidence was adduced as to the value of the horse. Mr. PLATT having addressed the jury for the plaintiff, The Learned JUDGE said the jury must of course return a verdict for the plaintiff, as the defendant had clearly acted con trary to law. They might consider, however, whether the transaction was such as to induce Mr. Dulcken reasonably to think that he might have recourse to the criminal law, and by their opinion on this point they would regulate the damages to be awarded. The: jury retuned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, one farthing. EXCHEQUER-(THIS DAY). (Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) WRITS OF ERROR. The Learned Judges of the Queen's Bench and Exchequer met this morning in the Exchequer Chamber, and announced they would sit to hear writs of error from the Queen's Bench on Thursday, the Ist, and from the Exchequer on Tuesday, the 6th of February. DAY V. GRUNDY. This was an action to recover 481., the amount of a pro missory note at three months' sight. The defendants and the father of the plaintiff entered into partnership for a term of twenty-one years as saddlers' ironmongers, in Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. The partnership was dissolved in eight months, owing to the plaintiff's father being involved in pecuniary matters, and be cause an execution had been puf in the house, and on the goods of the firm. It was proved by the evidence of the brothers of the plaintiff that he had advanced the money to his father, who gave him the promissory note in the name of " Day and Co." It was also proved by evidence that the plaintiff, who is 24 years of age, only received Bs. a week, which, the counsel for_ the defendant contended, gave him little or no opportunity of saving a single shilling, and that the promissory note was con cocted by the plaintiff and his father a few days before the disso lution of partnership, for the purpose of involving the defendant in the matter, and ultimately obtaining his share of the amount as co-partner. It was further asserted that the obligation was one wholly unconnected with the firm, and entire.y of a private nature. The defendant's solicitor stated that he saw the plaintiff at a public-house in White Hart-yard, and on asking him if the promissory note was a private or business transac tion, he stated that it was a private matter, and that a female sitting behind the bar told him to hold his tongue, and to call his uncle to speak about the business.—Verdict for the defendant.

It is said that several new powder magazines will be constructed, that a great part of the walls of the fortress will be repaired, the moats deepened, and that an entrenched camp will be commenced on the heath of Croornyert, which will be defended by three half moons and other forts.

ATHENS, DEC. 22.—The National Assembly continues its daily sittings. The draft of the address was read and distributed to the As- sembly Co the lbth, and its discussion adjourned to the 18th. It appears that the Commission charged with the framing of the address omitted indicating the motives m hich led to As reform of the 3d of September; and, generally, that the ad dress is not Helennic enough. This omission was by mo 4 de puties considered as an indifference to the new order of things; the Ministry, to remove any inquietude, affecting the future, on the part of the officers who supported the demand for a con stitutional reform, proposed to the Assembly to ensure such officers the activity of service in their respective grades during their life time. This proposition having been developed by M. Zographos, the supposed author of the draft, was carried with loud cheers. The Council of Ministers made an address to the Helle•• nians, whereby they assured them that they will place no faith in the reports, artfully spread in the provinces, which give a false idea of the spirit by which the Assembly is led. They then exhort them to be tranquil and wise, and to confide in the Assembly. The Assembly, through its Vice-President, M. Mavrocer dato, decreed that Col. Kallergy and the garrison of Athens, serve as the Assembly's Guards. The Greek Observer publishes the draft of the Assembly's address, in answer to the speech from the throne. " Sire—The representatives of the people, from the bottom of their hearts, thank Providence for seeing your Majesty amongst them on this day, the Bth of November. They on this day are fulfilling. a most pleasant duty in expressing their most lively feelingi of joy and profound acknowledgment. " They accept your Majesty's wise words as a happy omen for the future destiny of Greece. They do with unutterable satisfaction acknowledge that the ties which since lain unite the Greek people to their King became indissoluble the day on which the noble wish of your Majesty's paternal heart sealed the accomplishment of the national wishes, so unanimously ex pressed. _ . . _ _ _ _ " Sire, the Greek nation, during the whole period of the holy struggle for its independence, has consecrated, repeatedly, in all the acts of its assemblies, the principle of the constitu tionaliguarantees so beneficial to the population. " The nation entertains a sincere feeling of acknowledgment for the liberal laws which, after the establishment of the Royal dignity, have been enacted according to these principles. But the acknowledgment of the Greek people became still greater the day when your Majesty listened to the recently expressed national wishes, and condescended to acknowledge the work by proclaiming the system of national representation, as a treaty between the King and the people—a trcatly which is to consecrate, irrevocably the people's riihts and the Throne's prerogatives. " Yes, Sire, this treaty alone, and a Constitutional Govern ment give life, and insure the stability of the liberal laws enacted since the establishment of the Royal dignity, and will raise on a most solid basis the edifice of our political Consti thtion. " Embracing in one and the same thought, both the present and the future destinies of the Greek society, the representa tivc.s, under the protection of the highest, will use all their efforts to further this edifice. " Shoring, as they do, in your Majesty's wishes, and vows for the welfare of the nation, they will not be spacing in awarding just and necessary concessions, to arrive at this scope; they will on the one hand, use all their efforts to put the funda mental law of the constitution of the country in harmony with the real wants of the people, and to render it worthy of the ex pectations of the civilised world; and, on the other, they will represent Ihe monarchy in all its strength, and surrounded by all due respect, reserving to the throne the requisite rights to protect the just interests of every iathvidual, and the general prosperity of the nation. " Rely, Sire, that on every cccasion, did the Greek people acknowledge your Majesty's attachment to them—an attach ment which the representatives know how to worthily appre ciate. " They do, therefore, set at work with full devotion, and inspired by a feeling of justice and patriotism, they will occupy themselves, in Ilermriny with your Majesty, with the framing of the definite Con aitution of the representative kingdom of C. recce, and will endeavour to seal it with the mark of stability. .. The representatives of the people will, assisted by the Al mighty, fulfil the sacred duties laid upon them by the mission with which they are ertrurted, and trust to be able to guaran tee the perpetual welfare of Greece, inseparable from the glory of your Mara) 's throne." After three day,a of discussion, the foregoing address was car ried by a great maiority. The amendments which it under went are insignificant, only the fifth paragraph was changed. The answer to the address was presented to his Majesty by Messrs. Metaxaand Loc..los ( Vice-Presidents of the Chamber), tnd Messrs. C. C , )i-icotroni and Ducos ( Secretaries), accom palled by twelve menlbers deputed by the Assembly. The fol lowAng is his Majesty'sr reply : " Cesntlemen--I r‘eceive with pleasure the answer - of the National Assembly to the speech which I pronounced at the opening of is labours. The harmony of my sentiments wish those of the nation has caused me the most inexpressible satis faction. In this manner the great work of the establi.hment of the constitution of Greece will be accomplished happily and with perfect agreement, and in this manner I do not doubt we all understand the 3d of September." The answer of his Majesty was received with universal en thusiasm,_ and all the ,journals are alik e l ou d i n th e i r pra i ses o f i t. The Queen's bir:lidify was celebrated on the 21st with great solemnity. The King gave a grand banquet to the corps di plomatique, and to a great number of Deputies and civil and military functionaries. In the evening the city was brilliantly illuminated. We find in the Secolo, the following article on the new form of Government which is to be established in Greece : " A dispatch, dated Nov. 29th, concerning the situation of Greece, and the labours of the National Assembly, has been addressed by Lord Aberdeen to the British Representative at the Court of King Otho. The following are, in substance, the most important contents of this note : " The financial situation of Greece occasioned last April. the re-union of the London Conference, from which emanated four protocols. During the negotiations the three Powers acted in concert and in perfect unanimity of views. The Russian re presentative wanting sufficient powers, so as to give his ultimate approval of such protocols, these latter could not be published, and were therefore forwarded to St. Petersburgh, there to re ceive the Emperor's sanction. " Since the event of the 3d of September, the King of Ba varia has charged the Prince of Wallerstein, with a note to the London Conference, with instructions above all to keep up a good understanding with the French and British courts, with respect to the interests of Greece. In consequence of this note, the King of Bavaria seemed determined to acknowledge the representative Government adopted in Greece, because his Majesty King Otho wrote to his august father, under date September 25th, stating that constitutional institutions are not only useful, but necessary for this country. King Louis re quested the powers to give their consent, in order that the rights of the throne might be respected, and the Government now to be established, strengthened. " The British and French Governments have decided, in unison, to give to their representatives in Greece, special in structions, suitable to the actual state of the kingdom, parti cularly wish regard to the workings of the National Assembly. Sir Edmund Lyons has been charged to communicate such in structions in the shape of advices, so as not to be considered as an outrage to the dignity of the throne, and that of the nation. France will give to her representative more detailed instruc tions. Lord Aberdeen adds—. You will communicate to Go vernment, the commanders, and the more influential members of the National Assembly, the hereunder stated grounds, upon which the constitutional monarchy is to be founded, that it may have strength enough to direct the country in the paths of pro gress and prosperity. The King will appoint all civil and mili tary officers. The national representation will be formed by two Chambers—one elected by the people, taking property as a basis for the right of election ; the other chosen by the King either for life, or hereditary. The Chambers will vote the taxes and the expenditure of the State. The King will have the right of proposing laws, and have a share in the framing of them. The rights of proposing expenses will only belong to the Government." EASINGWOLD.—SINGULAR NOCTURNAL VISITA TION.—Wm. Farmary, an honest and industrious agricultural labourer, residing at Iluby, near Easingwo:d, slates, that about a month ago he retired to rest as usual, his wife remaining up some time time longer, when he heard and felt something like a cat come upon his bed near his feet. It aseen,led up his body, he, thinking it to be the cat, attempted to expel it, and in fact thought he had done so, hut it quickly returned, and some. times seemed to rest behind his shoulders, until his wife went to bed, when no cat could be found. The annoyance, however, ceased for that night. Since that time every care has been taken of the cat, and yet the poor fellow is subjeet to the same nocturnal and unwelcome visitations. The visits have been regular (with but one exception) for a month, as soon as he has got into bed. He states that he has had several mem bers of his own family, as well as others, to sleep with him, and yet the annoyance is the same. He removed one night a mile from home, but without any relief. The annoyance generally continues for an hour, and different persons have watched him while he has described the movements of the sensaticn so peculiarly felt on his person ; none can, however, detect the cause. The family are much alarmed at the circum stance, and the gossips and superstitious have many and various erroneous opinions respecting it in reference to ghosts, witch craft, satsmoal agency, &c. &c. Believing, as I do, that no effect can be produced without a cause, so I believe that there will be found amongst the medical or scientific readers of the York Courant, sonic one who will be at the trouble to explain the above curious phenomenon. The man is, I believe, 65 years of age, in good health, and in full possession of his reasoning powers, and I dare vouch for the truth of the fore going statements. From a Correspondent of the York Courant. The great anti-corn-law meetings in this borough, which are to be held on Friday next, will afford the opponents of the sliding scale a gratifying opportunity of assisting the League in getting rid of that most mischievous and most clumsy of ministerial and agricultural delusions. How the juggle of such a scale came to be maintained so long in a com mercial and common-sense-boasting country like England, is what no farmer, or farmer's friend, has ever yet been able to explain to the world. The best defence we ever heard made for it was, that a corn-law could not be maintained without it ; inasmuch as the juggle served to cover the dishonesty of taxing the bread of the people, by complicating what would other wise be a question of simple fraud. The free traders, we are happy to find, require no spurring. They are as earnest and zealous as becomes honest and free men in a good cause. —Hull Advertiser. DREADFUL COLLIERY ACCIDENTS.—A poor man of the name of Nimmo, a redsman at Clelan, near Holvtown, lost his life on the morning of the 16th inst., in the No. 10 pit, under the following distressing circumstances : —Nirnrno was redding in the main coal-seam alone, and is supposed to have lost his light, and to have made for the bottom of the pit; but being in the dark, and a stranger to the workings, fell into the shaft down to the splint seam, and was smashed to pieces, his head being nearly laid open. A wife and six children are left to deplore his untimely end. In the last page will be found an account of more coal-pit accidents. Surely it is necessary for the Government Inspector, " now appointed to see the Colliery Act fully carried into operation in Scotland," to turn his attention to these accidents, which appear to be on the increase '6*Lanarkshire.— Glasgow Saturday Post. A SINGULAR RACE OF MEN. -- A writer in the League newspaper say s —" I h ave noticed that in Wiltshire, as i n some other counties west of London, the men have no calves to their legs. All of them, young and old, wear knee breeches, and a sort of tight leather legging, and this exhibits more palpably their thin shanks. Otherwise they are generally handsome men, mostly of a middling size, thin and wiry. I was told by a gentleman, who seems to know the rural popul tion of England well, that in the counties where bacon is eaten as a staple article of diet, the men have small calves. I cannot see any reason for this; but whether it be bacon, or whether it be that a bacon eating race have invaded those countries, and have brought a peculiar formation of legs with them, it is a fact tliat they have valveless legs, no matter how well fed or how Vat ving they may be. The jolly-faced farmers have the acme kind of legs as the lean labourers." Under the date of Belgrade, 3'l inst., the Augs buryh Gazette gives the folowing According to letters from the borders of the Black Sea, it appears that the check re ceived by the Russian troops, in the Daghestan, was much more severe than u . sQ at first represented. In fact, the Government has issued o r d ers for increasing the army of . the Caucasus to 60,000 men ; showing a resolution of carrying on operations upon a much larger scale, and with greater energy. There is, above all, a great want of officers." SPORTING IN TELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL S-YESTERDAY. Nothing fresh arose out of the afternoon business as far as it regarded the three leading Derby favourites : 7 to 1 was laid against the first to about 1001. ; the same odds to 50/. and half a point more to about 100/. against the second (Rattan), and 16 to 1 in fifties against Load stone, the friends of the latter, we believe, had a little more to invest at the same price. Cockamaroo and Leander are " head and head" for the fourth place ; 22 to 1 to a pony, and 1,000 to 50 in two or three places, were taken about the first, and similar odds, rather freely, about the other. 5,000 to 200, and other bets at 25 to 1 were laid against Running Rein ; 25 to 1 to some forty or fifty pounds against Orlando (the layers refusing to go on), and 30 to 1, more than the market price, to a small sum, against lonian.

HOTILER. —"We regret to state that the venerable Mr. Hobler, who was Clerk at the Mansion.honse for 54 years, died this roaming at his residence in Queen's-row, Pen. tonville. He was in his 80th year. He had only recently retired, and his portrait had within a few weeks past been hung up in the Justice-room at the Mansion.house, as a mark of respect for his lent services. At the conclusion of a marriage at Holy Trinity, on Tuesday, the venerable Dean administered the Sacrament to the parties, and a collection was made for the Offertory. Some of the wedding guests were embarrassed for want of cob, not expecting Mother Church to come down upon them in this way. Others gave gold, not having silver to bestow ; and many were astonished thereat. But Parson Pedlar was more astonishing. fqr he was stuck there as if not entrusted by the Church to tie a true lover's kuot, and had on his black gown when he should have worn the white surplice.

MARCH 27, 1844.—Cabinet cogitations of a dis tinguishing character are manifested ; Ireland again attracts especial notice; her position will be relieved, and favourable changes introduced by Government—they succeed in aught connected with our foreign relations, treaties and enactments, matters of revenue and finance, closely connected with the public interests. Ministers are successful in their divisions, and the Privy Council strengthened; there appears with the foregoing, something inimical to the popular view, or a change in an important official appointment ; much angry excitement and hostility prevails, and the proceedings will not reqoncile public expectation, although the Government succeeds.- - Smith's Periianientary Predictions. The penny postage project is perhaps the noblest afloat in our country and time, considering the moral interests it involves. It is, perhaps, scarcely possible to exaggerate the force and extent of its civilising and humanising influences especially in regard to its spreading the spirit of home over all the occupations and interest of life, in defiance of the separat ingi powers of distance and pove r ty ; an d it w ill b e cur i o us f this enterprise, besides keeping the school-child at his mother's bosom, the apprentice, the governess, and the maid-servant, at their father's hearth—and us sick and aged people enter tained daily with the flowers, music, books, sentiment, and news of the world we have left—should prove an exception to all others in performing all its express promises. At present I own, this appears no matter of doubt.—Essays on Life is the Sick Room. AMUSING lioAx.—A young farmer, fresh from the neighbouring hills, during a visit to Cheltenham, last weeks exhilirated by the beauties which everyoliere met his eye', had indulged in an unusual sacrifice at the shrine of the Jolly God. In fact his potations had been so frequent and plentiful, that he was »loaning along in a state of perfect unconscious ness of his whereabouts, when he was accidentally seen by a° acquaintance, who, finding the predicament he was in, took him under his protection and conveyed him to the inn at which they had before met. Now this said inn was frequented by a party of choice spirits, members of the IVide-awake Club, who never lose an opportunity of a laugh, at whosoever's expense it may be enjoyed. From the "gentle violence" which the friend found necessary to use in propelling the young farmer along, a belief was engendered that certain members of the corps of " blue devils ' had him in charge. The idea was not lost on the merry guests, who, whilst he was endeavouring to recover his scattered senses by a snooze, fitted up a back room with all the appurtenances and properties of the charge room of a station house, and accoutred themselves as representatives of the stern officials of justice. The court was opened, which consisted of the represen atives of two magistrates and their clerk, a set' grant, and several policemen, the latter aroused the prisoner from his slumbers, by stating that his attendance was neces" sary, as they were about to dismiss the night charges. He Wsl i , placed before th e b e n c h, an d th e ev id ence aga i nst hi m b r ought forward. The magistrates declared, as usual, that they be: lieved every word of the statement of the police, and it would be useless for the prisoner to make any defence. The c harge was therefore admitted to be just, the mercy of the court svas prayed in roost moving terms, two persons present gave him a most excellent character, and on his prom i si ng no t to of fed .i n again, he was mul c ted the u s u a l fi ne an d dismissed. 118 was accompanied by his friends through the inn yard into dark back street, down which they stalked till by another turn they rest hed High street. The farmer then insisted on his friends taking a glass with him, and they speedily entered by the font door, the inn they so recently left, and found the room filled with those who participated in the joke, who were q uaffing the jovial draught at his cost. But little inducement was re; quire t, and the farmer recapitulated the momentous events of the evening in a similar style to " Honest Jack Falstaff" aft er the robbery at Gad's-hill, and showed how he annihilated a Ii",; 'iceman by a blow under the jugular ; how th e o th ers , t errified at his prowess, left him master of the field, until they ha d pro cured a reinforcement and mastered him at length solely b/ dint of numbers ; how he " got over" the magistrates a nd es" caped with such slight punishisient, to the great delight of the actors in the late drama, who were there in propria persona, laughing in their sleeve at the marvellous gullibility of th e Coteswold hero.— Cheltenham Examiner.

There was yesterday some repose for those imme diately connected with the public proceedings of the Queen's Bench, but private discussions and speculations were more frequent than on the , days devoted to work. The trials, it is generally supposed, will not occupy more than another fortnight, the Crown being likely to close on Wednesday, at the furthest. The additional evidence to be brought forward on the part of the Crown, will consist, I under stand of the Repeal cards and other documents, the pub lications of the newspapers, and the numbers who at tended the various meetings. Has the Attorney-General no other evidence, is a question asked by every one ? Why we all knew what has been proved months and months ago, and yet no one ever dreamt of a conspiracy. Then comes the question will the jury convict on such evi dence? lam informed they will, and that there is scarcely a chance for the traversers. The moment the jury was known, the public voice cried conviction.. This in England would appear strange- 7 -in Ireland it is quite natural Given, they say, three men of a certain character as' judges—twelve Orangemen for a jury, Daniel O'Connell for a defendant, and, work the problem as you will, an acquittal cannot be the result. The tone and manner of some of the judges are bad, the demeanour of the prosecutor is personal and petulant, the character of the judges Orange to the full extent of that fearful word. I have it on good authority, and from more than one per son, that the foreman has been often heard to say, previous to the trial, that O'Connell ought to be hanged 1 One of the jurymen, Mr. Floyd, is an Englishman by birth, though a long time in Ireland. He is highly Conserva tive, and his business connexion is Conservative ; but there is just the shadow of 'a hope that, not being an Irish Orangeman, some of the fair play for which Englishmen are distinguished may accompany him into the box. I was speaking this morn ing to a gentleman well acquainted with the state of feeling in Ireland, and on my saying that I hardly thought it possible the Crown would punish, even if there was a conviction, his reply was, " No one can say what Government will do, Sir ; they appear:to be mad; but I assure you it will take all the influence of O'Con nell and the priests to keep the people quiet." I believe this is a true representation of the case ; but it is curi ous to have the peace of Ireland preserved by those who may be punished—for a conspiracy to disturb it. SUMMARY of the STATE TRIALS, The case of the Crown commenced this morning with the examination of three persons in the employ ment of Mr. Holbrook, a lithographic printer and en graver, Crow-street. This person was employed to print many of the documents issued by the Repeal Association. Among them the cards of the members and associates, the forms of the awards of arbitrators, and the deeds of submission to such awards. The latter documents were stamped, and much of the cross-exami nation was directed to eliciting whether this stamp was affixed by the authority of the Association or not. The form of the award only was carried at the meeting of the Association, and the Counsel for the traversers con tended that the stamp being part of the document, it could not be admitted as evidence, unless the whole of it was proved to be authorised by that body as well as part. The Court, however, decided', that the document should be admitted as well as the others. Between one and two o'clock a little incident occurred that not only varied the formality of the proceedings, but exhibited in a striking manner the spirit that ani mates the Attorney-General. The usual Monday meeting of the Repeal Asso ciation was announced to .be held at two o'clock. Mr. W. S. O'Brien, it was stated, would also attend this meeting. Between one and two Mr. O'Connell and his son John rose to leave the Court, for the purpose of proceeding to the Conciliation Hall, when the Attorney- General stated that he had no objection to the traversers remaining in the precincts of the Court, but that he ould not permit them to attend the meeting ; if they (witted the Court for that purpose, he should call on the Court to enforce their recognisances. Mr. O'Connell, of course, did not attend the meet ing, but wrote a letter from the Court, which was read to the meeting, amidst the utmost ex citement ; nothing could exceed the indignation of the assembly at this manifestation of a petty spirit, and the groans of the meeting "for the Attorney-General" were tremendous. In the Court the examination of the witnesses pro ceeded as before. A Mr. Macnamara was called to swear to the speeches delivered at the monster meeting at Tul laghmore, of which he took notes, but their authenticity was much shaken on the cross•examination. The other two witnesses were an inspector of police, named Stewart, and Mr. O'Neil Brown, stipendiary magistrate of King's County. They spoke to details of the management of the meeting at Tullaghmore. The examination of the latter had not concluded when the express left. It is confidently stated that the case for the Crown wil close tb night, or, at the furthest, to-morrow ; the trials therefore, will conclude within a much shorter time than was at first supposed. There are many rumours in circulation ; among the last may be stated (though we cannot vouch for it) one, that two of the jurors are likely to differ materially from the others as to the ex tent to which the evidence has supported the indictment; the other is, that the Government, already certain of a conviction, is preparing Carrickfergus Castle for the re• silence of the Liberator and his companions. This re port may be considered as rather more improbable than the first one. LAM FUNDS-(CLOSING PRICES.) BRITISH FUNDS. Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Red. 3 per Cent.
