On Saturday evening an express reached town, giving an account of the proceedings on Friday, when striking the jury in Dublin for the impending State trials. The list chosen on the previous day was 48, but from this number the Crown had the right to strike off 12, and the traversers other 12. Ten of the persons whose names were struck off by the Crown are repealers, and, therefore, as the original number of repealers on the list was but 12, two only remain on the jury who are to try the traversers. The jury will consist of the first 12 out of these 24 who answer their names when the reduced list is called over in Court. DUBLIN, FRIDAY, FOUR P.M. The parties concerned, for the Crown and the tmversers, met to-day to reduce the list of 48 down to 24. The Crown struck off 12-10 of whom are Roman Catholics, and the greater number, it is said, members of the Repeal Association. The agent for the traversers also struck off 12, leaving the follow ing as the jury :- 1. James Hamilton, 14, Upper Ormond-quay, wine-merchan 2. James C. l'apworth, 101;, Marlborough-street, architect 3. Captain Edward Roper, 15, Eceles-street 4. Stephen Parker, 2, St. Andrew-street, pawnbroker 5.

The Mercantile Advertiser of this morning publishes a liberal report of the proceedings, which are annexed: The solicitors for the Crown and the traversers at tended at the office of the Clerk of the Crown this morning, fur the purpose of reducing the list struck yesterday. Mr. Steele and Mr. Barrett were also present. Mr. Bourne, addressing Mr. Steele, said—As you appear one of the parties on the record, and appear in person, I beg to say, if you have anything to offer, I am quite ready to hear you. before proceeding with the immediate business for which we have met here. Mr. Steele—l do not intend, just now, to trouble you ; but I beg to inform you that my attorney is pre sent, and under his guidance I am acting. Mr. Mahony—Mr. Kemmis, I beg leave to say a few words on a subject of vital importance to my clients. I am prepared, Sir, with the affidavits of the individuals concerned—some of whom are ready to be produced—and who will prove that they were entered on the jury list as qualified to serve as special jurors, and have, notwithstanding, been omitted from the special panel used on this occasion. It so hap pens, and very unfortunately, I think, that all these mistakes have been committed on one side, and in the present state of the country, I would ask, was such a circumstance to be treated lightly ? These persons so omitted, strangely enough, happen to be nearly all of the Roman Catholic persuasion, and those who are not are not considered hostile to them. It is a very unhappy state of things. I now put it to the gentlemen representing the Crown, as it is my duty so it is my determination to pursue the matter to the last. I offer proof that the list has not been fairly made out ; and although I can hardly expect that Mr. Kemmis will postpone further proceedings until the mistakes are rectified, I will enter my protest against it, and put it to him whether or not the subject is worthy of deep attention. Mr. Bourne—This question has already been pro• pounded and decided, and I have no more power over this panel than you. I cannot entertain the subject, and I cannot see any use in stating facts here over which I have no control whatever. Mr. Kemmis observed that he could not entertain the subject, and that there was nothing for them to do but to proceed to reduce the list, and he could not consent to anything but his immediate duty, which was to reduce the list. Mr. Mahony then handed the following protest to Mr. I3ourne : "COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, CROWN SIDE. " THE QUEEN V. DANIEL O ' CONNELL AND OTHERS. " I require you to take notice, that I do hereby protest, on behalf of the traverser, John O'Connell, Esq., against any further proceeding being taken in striking a jury in this case. First, because the names of a great number of persons qualified to be inserted upon the special jury list, and whose right had been allowed by the Recorder of the city of Dub lin, have been fraudulently and unjustly omitted, or omitted from the special juror list. Secondly, before you refused to receive evidence to prove the above fact, although proof of the same was in readiness and tendered ,to you. Thirdly, be cause the names of many persons are inserted in the special juries' list who do not reside in the county of the city of Dublin. Fourthly, because you refused evidence of the said fact, although proof of the same was in readiness and tendered to you. Fifthly, be cause several of the persons whose names were drawn yesterday do not reside in the county of the city of Dublin. For these reasons, in addition to those I offered to you yesterday, and also to those given to you in writing yesterday by Mr. Forde, I solemnly protest against any further proceeding in striking a jury in this case. Dated the sth day of January, 1844. " PIERCE MAHONY, Attorney. " To Walter Bourne, Esq., Clerk of the Peace. Mr. Cantwell—l proceed for my client, under the protest I mentioned yesterday. Mr. Bourne—Well, then, we may now proceed. 119 r. Kemmis--I strike off No. 48 on the list— Timothy Greens, of Capel-street, publican. Mr. Cantwell—There is the first Papist going. Mr. Bourne—You are aware, Mr. Cantwell, there are but one set of objections which can be made on the part of the defendants ; and I suppose you act for all the defendants. Mr. Cantwell—l am aware of them, Sir, and I sup pose on this occasion I will act for all the traversers. I strike off 45—John Carolin, Government con tractor. Mr. Kemmis—l strike off No. 26—Michael Dunn. Mr. Cantwell—Another Roman. Mr. Bourne—l don't know whether they are " Romans" or not. The Crown, I suppose, has a reason for striking them off, and I do not think this is the place to make these remarke. Mr. Cantwell—l strike off 41—John "White. Mr. Kemmis—James Fallen. Mr. Cantwell—Another Roman. I strike off Ro binson Carolin. Mr. Kentnis—John Beaghan. Mr. Cantwell—There's another. Strike off John Thwaites, the soda man. Mr. Kentnis—James Patrick Smith. Mr. Cantwell—Another Catholic. I really think that every Cornwall man should be informed the way the Catholics of this country are respected here. [Mr. Cantwell alluded to the speech of Lord Eliot, made to the electors of that county on his re-election, after being appointed to the Secretaryship of Ireland.] I strike of John Irwin. Mr. Kemmis—John Denman, of Abbey -street. Mr. Cantwell—George Whittaker. Mr. Kemmis—William Joseph Camen. Mr. Cantwell—Another Catholic ;• I strike off Robert C h =ley. Mr. Kommis—Lawrence Gorman. Mr. Cantwell —Another Roman Catholic; John T. Boileau. Mr. Kemmis—William Fitzpatrick. Mr. Cantwell —Another Roman Catholic. Mr. Kemmis—Nicholas Monserratt. Mr. Kemmis—John M‘Gloin. Mr. Cantwell —Another Catholic. George Wilson Boileau. Mr. Kemmis—William Hendrick. Mr. Cantwell—Another Roman. Saint George. Mr. Kammis—William Ring. Mr. Kemmis—John Puegloin. Mr. Cantwell —Another Roman. James Cuff. Mr. Cantwell—H e is supposed to be Liberal, and theret'ore next to a Catholic. I strike off John Fry. This reduced the list to 24 names. Mr. Mahony—We might have reduced this list yesterday by striking off at once all the Catholics. Mr. Bourne--Surely you might strike off whom you pleased from the other side. Mr. Mahony—As the High Sheriff is now present, I beg to repeat all I said in his absence. We freely admit that neither Mr. Latouche nor Mr. Dickenson knew anything of the " accidents" of which we have to complain ; and I will further add, that their con duct has been extremely handsome, and just to both parties. The High Sheriff—With respect to my conduct I have only to say that I gave written directions in my office that all parties should have the utmost facility, which were posted up, provided each party agreed. I did this on the ground that I conceived one party should have no advantage over the other. I do not feel surprised at being subject to some misapprehen sion at this particular time, but I have a conscien tious conviction that I have done what is right in my office, and I shall always be satisfied with the mode of doing business when I feel in my heart that it is done with strict justice and impartiality towards all parties. James Cuff Mr. Mahony—lt was my duty to complain of con. duct somewhere which is calculated to prejudice the case of my client. It is also my duty to do justice to the conduct of the High Sheriff; paid, Sir, as you have acted all through with justice am 3 impartiality, I THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY RI ENING-, JANUAR, v 8, 1A44. hope you will continue to look after this important case, and particularly to the mode ofstriking, the jury.

On Thursday evening a meeting was held in the Ebenezer Chapel, Bacup, to promote the subscrip tions to the League Fund of 100,0001. The Rev. SimpsoN TODD, Baptist minister of the place, opened the meeting by singing and prayer. EDMUND DAWSON, ESQ., of Mount Pleasant, was in the chair. The Rev. S. TODD, and the Rev. THOMAS DA.w- SON, Baptist minister, moved and seconded the reso lution to " support the League in its endeavours to obtain a repeal of the corn monopoly," which David Whitehead, Esq., supported, followed by Henry Ashworth, Esq.. of Turton, who stated that the po pulation of the forest of Rossendale 300 years ago consisted only of ten families, comprising eighty souli; and that these eighty persons memorialised that they might be allowed to use their exertions in manufacturing pursuits, and he 'hoped that the thou sands of individuals who now appeared in Rossendale as the descendants of these eighty souls, would show that they possessed the same laudable spirit .of enterprise. lle claimed a sympathy with the inhabitants of Rossendale because he was also a descendant of one of those ten fa milies ; because the bones of his forefathers were mingled with these of their fathers, in the hills and valleys by which they were surrounded. To show what manufactures and machinery had done for Ros sendale, he needed only to remind them that one acre of land in Bacup was now worth as much as the whole forest was worth two hundred and fifty years ago. - Mr. COBDEN then said, that having seen some of the Bacup people at the great meetings in Manches ter, and witnessed the unostentatious manner with which they announced their subscriptions, he was very desirous of meeting the inhabitants of Bacup; and, from what he saw of the meeting (for he was a bit of a phrenologist) he thought that those he had seen in Manchester were but a fair sample of the sack. Ile then exposed, in a most excellent speech, many of the fallacies which are brought forward in opposition to the League ; instructing them how to meet the opponents of the League, who talk about "protection of labour," the "evils of machinery," and other nonsense of the same description. Mr. R. R. MOORE commenced announcing the subscriptions by stating that the gentlemen from their own neighbourhood had already subscribed the following sums to the fund :-Robert Munn, Esq.. 500/.; John Lord, Esq., 300/. ; Thomas, David, and Peter Whitehead, Esqs., 3001.

The meeting then separated at eleven o'clock. EXPERIMENTAL MANURES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta,—l am an experimental farmer on a small scale (about 25 large Cheshire acres); during the three years I have been farming I have used almost all kinds of real and artificial ma nures—guano amongst the rest. The result of one experiment was as follows :—A meadow of four large Cheshire acres, strong brown loam of about 12 inches in depth, with a clay sub-soil, very good herbage, and in good condition, on one-third of which I sowed 5 cwt. of guano, costing 60s. ; on another third I spread 15 tons of stable-dung, at the expense of 51. ss. ; the remaining third I covered with 10 tens of privy soil, mixed with 20 cart-loads of road scrapings, which, together with the expense of mixing, cost 50s. (the scrapings being, made near to the land). I mowed on the 30th of July, and in order to carry out my experiment I stacked each separa t e l y . The p art manure(' with guano produced 4 tons of long coarse soft hay, such as the land had never before yielded. Th a t on which the stable-dung had been put produced 5 % tons of fin e hay , full of all the choice kinds of grapes. From the remainder, manured with the privy, &c., I procured 5 t o ns, similar i n ev ery re spect to that produced from stable - d un g . On the 7th of September 1 again mowed the , same fi e ld ; th e guano part yielded 21 tons ; that manured with stable-dung Produced 4 tons ; and from the land on which I spread the t i o n !grass, and privy and scrapings I obtained 4 tons, of the three kinds of was brown and as bare similar quality to the first crop. Intending to write you the result of the experimenatndonprtihvye 30th of the last month, I went to view the field, and found the g pa re r e ts n w a h s i x c i h id l s la u d m b in e e e r n . mwahniuteredelowviethr, trhieb-sgtarbasles: the first many other kinds of choice grapes; strong, and from four to six inches in length.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn,—l. assure you it is an error to infer that the question relating to public patronage in Ca nada has arisen from mere French Canadian de mands. It is no new subject in Canada, and it is felt to be of the greatest importance to the British population of the country. The true principle is stated in the Resolutions of the House of Assembly, and as it is a dispute to be determined between the House of A.••sembly and the Imperial Government, the words they use are deserving of consideration; as by them the provincial administration will be governed. The House of Assembly " disclaims a desire to call on the:Government to enter into stipulations" respecting, public patronage. "The mutual con fidence essential to the well-being of the Go vernment presumes the terms to be understood, though a respect tbr the prerogative, and a con stitutional delicacy towards the Governor, for bids their being expressed." This language is perfectly constitutional, and in conformity with the principles of British institutions. It does not require the surrender of the prerogative. Some person must advise the Governor, for, being a stranger to the in mince, lie can have no personal knowlethre of the persons fit to be appointed to office. Who are those advisers to be? Are they to be sworn and responsible advisers, whom the Constitution has appointed, or persons unknown and concealed, who have an interest in tripping up the heels of the Members of the Adminis tration ? If Sir C. Metcalfe had replied to his Adminis tration that he would consult them upon all public appointments, reserving to himself the final decision, and that he would make no ap pointment discrediting them in the face of the province, this dispute would not have arisen. In England it is the prerogative of the Queen to appoint public officers, and, also, the ladies about her person. Sir R. Peel did not demand this right to be surrendered, but he desired to act with a due respect for the prerogative, and with a constitutional delicacy which forbade the terms of his accepting office from being publicly ex pressed. He could not permit the influence of the back-stairs and of irresponsible persons to inter fere with his advice. What was done in England has been asked to be done in Canada. No person can doubt that Sir C. Metcalfe is a very honourable and able man, and really liked in the province. But the Administration had to anticipate the possibility of a Governor being set over them who might act with unworthy mo tives. Moreover, it is well known in Canada that it is a difficult matter for persons born in and settled in the province to gain public appoint ments, though their own merit may be great. There are always in the colony many persons with orders to the Governor for appointments in their pockets—both the orders and the persons among the newest arrivals—who interfere with the just expectations of settlers. It is this which will give this question a Canadian and local inte rest, on which an almost unanimous opinion, both of race and of population, will be expressed. Jan. 5, 1844. A LOYALIST. , THE STANDARD'S "GAMBLING IMPORTERS" OF CORN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—The Standard of the 21st.ult. uses the term "gambling importers" in reference to the importers of corn. if the importers of corn are gamblers, pray who made them such ? I should say the landowners. Has not the sliding-scale upon the very flice of- it a tendency and lure to importers to gamblel - Does it not say to the importers, if you will try to get up the averages one shilling per quarter for us, the land owners, to keep up our rents, we will give you an extra profit of 2s. per quartergive us 2s. you shall have 4s.—give us ss. you shall have 10s.? This is precisely the effect of the sliding scale ; for when the averages are up one shilling, the duty drops one shilling ; so the law makes gamblers of the importers by giving them a profit of two shillings per quarter on the rise of one shilling per quarter in—one shilling by the rise in price, and the other shilling by the fall in the duty. It is, I think, sufficiently clear, with out further demonstration ; but, in order that that there may be no question, let us suppose corn to be 50s. per quarter, the duty 10s.—the dealer gets 40s. ; but if the average should be 515., the duty will be Os. thus, deducting the Os. from 515., the importer gets 425. Yet, while the law was so drawn as to induce the importers of corn to play the landowners' game, they must, for sooth, be stigmatised as " gambling importers." Yours, Sze., . _ A MEMBER OF THE ANTI-CORN LAW LEAGUE. Ilfracombe, Jan. 3, 1843. THE CURRENCY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. DEAR SiR,-I had nearly overlooked the letter of fe Ger manicus" this evening, when luckily the word " Beirniard" caught my eye. The query of " Germanicus" is based on an assumption that the issuer of a note engages to give the holder a certain weight of gold fur it. No such engagement is made. A five pound note, for example, specifies not that the issuer promises to hand to the holder so many grains of gold, but that he will pay " five pounds." If gold has in crease d i n p r i ce s i nce th e issue of the note, and silver has not, the issuer hands over a hundred shil lings, and the note is duly discharged. Let us again suppose that instead of silver the issuer pays in sovereigns; it is clear that the note (taking it for granted that gold is the only commodity advanced in price) is really en hanced in value, since the holder, who when he took the note, could only command with his five pounds a certain quantity of cotton, sugar, iron, &c., will, on receiving for his note five sovereigns obtain that which, taken to the silversmith's, pro duces the means of commanding more cotton, &c., than before. The fallacy is that which I noticed before, viz., the assuming that ift ho relation between two articles be changed, one must be depreciated, forgetting that it may be that the other is enhanced. The fact is, that during the war the note did not go down, but that gold went up. Let us suppose a sudden increase in the demand for French wines. To-day a given sum in gold will command fifty pipes of claret ; next year, from increased demand (or diminished supply), the same sum will command but forty—will the gold have suffered depreciation ? Believe me, always yours, BEIRNIATID. The total paper now circulating in Great Britain (including bills of exchange) is probably little short of 36x),000,000; in all Europe perhaps not 180,000,000 of gold could be collected. Is the paper depreciated 50 per cent. because it is physically impossible to exchange mere than half of it for gold? TO THE EDITOR OF 771 E SUN. SI observe in your paper of last evening a sneering let ter, signed " Gordius," attacking my proposal of fixing a silver measure of value in accordance with the last twenty-five years average value of the bushel of wheat, and recommending as a more intelligible measure the reduction of the price of wheat by an increase in the contents of the bushel. I suppose from the composition of the letter, that it emanates from ore of that class who know more about muck than they do about money, but who have not yet ascertained, according to the maxim of Lord Bacon, "that money is like muck, of little use unless it be well spread." As I make it a rule never to write without subscribing my own name, so I also make it a rule never to enter upon an argument with those who write anonymously ; and if a letter which I addressed to the Mornin g Post yesterday does not explain to " G or di us " the great difference in the operation of our two plans, I will, upon learning who he is, w ith great pleasure explain to him, through your paper, what would be the result of each of them. Meantime I feel that the subject under consideration, the town of Birmingham, and myself, are far beyond the sneers of the enlightened philosophers of Ilfracombe. --Yours respectfully, G. F. MUNTZ. Ley Hall, near Birmingham, Jan. e, 1844. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—The conversion of the Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Consols is now generally rumoured. The high rate of funded stock, the low rate of interest, and the large amount of specie in the Bank, seem to invite the attempt. The con version, nevertheless, may not be so easy of accomplishment as some people imagine. Cheap money may lead to redun dancy, and to a general advance of prices. The question, therefore, may be demanded.--Can Alinisters, aided by the Bank, effect so desirable a measure ? The following reasoning may, perhaps, throw some light on so intricate a subject. The present market price of dollar silver is 43.118 d. per oz., and its par price, estimated at 16 to 1 and compared with gold at 31. 17s. 101?,d., may be said to be 4s. 10id. 625 per oz. On this calculation, silver will be found to be 11. 7s. 1 1 ,4 d. per centum cheaper than standard gold. llence gold, the dearer metal, remains in the coffers of the Bank, while silver the cheaper article, is exported. We will now presume, that during the process of conver sion, the market price of silver advances from 4s. 98d. to ss. per oz. thereby making gold 2/. 14s. tid. per centum cheaper than silver. The change in the relative value of the metals would then cause gold to be demanded at the Bank, while silver, as an article of export, would be neglected. Any ad vance in the market price of silver, therefore, will be the chief difficulty the Directors will have to contend against. Again, should the market price of silver, during the pro cess of conversion remain, even for the short period of three months at ss. per oz., might not such a demand for gold at the Bank be established, as to compel the Directors to put on the screw; and would not the application of this pinching instrument raise the rate of interest, depress the value of Consols, and even render the conversion exceedingly hazardous ? Should the above remarks be worthy of notice you are at liberty to publish them. Your's, &c., LUZITANO. Manchester, Gth Jan., 1840.

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE: A meeting of the Anti-Monopoly Association was held in Toxteth Hall, Mill•street, last evening; for the purpose of affording an opportunity to the electors of the North Ward Lo discuss the question of free-trade with Mr. Murray, one of the lecturers of the League. The public are already aware that the Anti-Alonopoly Association called a meeting of the electors of North Toxteth for a similar purpose last week, and that, Owing to the extraordinary conduct pursued by Dr. Ilarbord on that occasion, no expression of opinion upon the all-important question could be arrived at. We have now to state that the Doctor's conduct last night, was anything but what we should have expected. In the first place, the ship -carpenters elected him to the chair ; and, no sooner did he become the presi dent, than he also became the partisan. He com menced by saying that Mr. Murray was a hired lecturer, by asking whether there were .Any cx trumpery speakers to address the chair, and by en deavouring, as far as in him lay, to throw an air of ridicule and burlesque over the proceedings. And not only did he thus evince his partiality, but he also took upon him to reply to Mr. Murray, and to ad,'ocate at some length the cause ofthe mcnopolist, while ever and anon his political adherents, by hoot the hall was crowded, commenced the Kentish tire, anal scenes of uproar, such as we have not space to allude to in detail, but certainly such as we have seldom wit-. nessed on former occasions, occurred. Mr. • Murray addressed the meeting, in the firSt instance; in an able speech of three quarters of an hour's duration, in which he showed the evil effects of monopoly upon the inhabitants of England generally. Three operatives affected to reply to him, and so also,' as we have said, did the Doctor. The latter, In tk . , course of his remarks, called upon the Toilc ! s now to aid the Radical newspapers, by seeding them vertisements or increasing their circulation. Air. Hughes moved a resolution to the Mimi, that it' was the opinion of the meeting that all the monopolies, - whether agricultural,.manufacturing, or eolonial, were unjust in , principle, injurious in practice, and ought to be to-• tally and unconditionally repealed. Air. Jones se conded the motion. Mr: Robert Inman proposed an amendment to the effect, that the meeting strongly deprecated the conduct of a body or men calling . themselves the Anti-Monopoly A ; n a;;,- tating the minds of the people, and endeavouring to • set them against the Ministry of the day tinder the specious pretext of bettering the condition of the people, while their . only objects wer e to recover their lost political influence and to 'further their own selfish ' views, to the great detriment and ruin of. the best • interests of the country. Robert M'Clay seconded the amendment, which was carried amidst' groat up roar by a small majority. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, and the meeting. separated by giving " three groans for the League ;" each of the: groaners seemingly felicitating himself' on the success of this discreditable trick and pairry outrage upon the freedoin of discuss! , _ , n.—Liverpoq/4 ? urn a l of Saturday.

In this dilemma stands the accused duellis•—he a ill either lose the price of his commission, the regulation value being 1,6C0L, or have to take his chance of a trial. I have also heard, from another source, that since the verdict of the coroner's jury, he resided in lodgings, in one of the streets off the Stiand (Ce cil, I think), under the assumed name of Captain Johnson, for several weeks, and that it was the accidental use of his name by his own wife, when visiting him there, that betrayed hie in cognito, and forced him to leave the place, and in two days after he had done so, Inspector Aggs, of the police, got scent of his " whereabouts." So much for the vigilance of this over puffed body.—London Correspondent (9e Else llonipshire Inde pendent. NOVEL DEER IIuNTING.—The inhabitants of Woolwich were surprised, between two and three o'clock on Saturday afternoon to witness a fine full-prown deer run down the New-road, and along Thomas-street and Wellington street, into Lower Market-street, and shortly afterwards fol lowed by a field of sportsmen, with a pack of hounds. The deer took refuge in a timber yard, in Lower Market-street, whirs it was secured and taken to the Earl of Chatham public. house, until a cart was procured to take it home. The run after this fine animal must have afforded excel!ent sport, as it was started at Lock's Bottom, near Tonbri te.. weds, by - the subscription pack hunting in that quarter.

LOVE AND SUICIDE.— Some weeks ago, a young woman, called Mary Whiteley, v.ho had lived as housekeeper with Mr. Hay, surgeon, in Park-square, was missing, and, from the circumstance of her clothes being Mumd on a po,t near the river side, there could be little doubt that she had sought a • watery grave. Day after day, however, the liver was searched in vain for the body, and hopes began to be entertaitied that she was still alive. These hopes have proved to be grouLdless. On Wednesday last, upwards of three weeks front the day when she was missed, her body rose to the surface of the water, and was discovered floating down the River Aire, betwixt the flood gates and the dam, at Knostrop. From the investigation which toop place at the inquest, held on the same day, it appeared that an attachment had subsisted for some time previously, be. twixt the unfortunate woman and a fish dealer, called Robert Armstrong. The intimacy, however had been broken off, and Armstrong was going to be married in a short time to another woman. The jury gave in their verdict—" Found drowned, but by what means there is not sufficient evidence to show."— Leeds Times.

DUBLIN, Jaw. 6.—We have received a report of the pro.• eeedings in the Crown-office, on the occasion of reducing the special jury Est. The Crown, in striking off the names of all the Roman Catholics on:the list, and in also removing the name of Mr. Ring (a very respectable trader, a native of England, who was suspected of Liberalism), has produced a very decided impression in the public mind, and even Conservatives openly express their astonishment at such an extreme proceeding on the part of the Government prosecutors. Mr. Ring, who is a Protestant, has never taken any part in political movements. He had been a member of the old corporation. The summonses to the twenty-four special jurors were issued this day. The first twelve who an►wer to their names are to foam the jury for the trial of the traversers. But that jury may, possibly, never be impanelled, as the tra versers have determined to challenge the array, on the ground of illegalities in the construction of the jary book, in which a great number of persons appear who do not reside in the county of the city of Dublin, The Jury Act strictly requires residence, and that the " fixed abode " of such person should be set out after his name. There are several non-residents on the special jury list of twenty-four ; and, on this ground, an application will be made to the Court to quash the list,, and to order the striking of a new panel. This motion is to be made on the first day of term, Thursday next. THE PROSECUTIONS.—MIt. STEELE,—The Evening Post says—" Mr. Steele has given instructions to have Lord Plan • kett (his only Irish witness), Sir James Graham, the Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, and Lord Lyndhurst, imme diately summoned to undergo his personal examination on his trial." THE IRISH YEOMANRY.—The Government has finally determined not to re-organise the yeomanry. This announce ment has produced deep discontent amongst the Ulster Orangemen. THE A RMY.—llis Grace the Commander-in-Chief has been pleased to approve of Lieut. the Hon. Charles Hugh Lindsay, of the 43d Light Infantry, and of Cornet Sir Wm. Don, Bart., of the sth Dragoon Guards, being appointed extra Aides-de- Camp to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, in succession to Captain Freeman Murray, of the 60th Rifles, and Captain Lord William Hill, of the 2d (or Royal North British Dragoons — the former having been appointed Assistant Military Secretary upon the Staff orlreland, and the latter having resigned. THE COMMISSION—CHARGE OF SEDITION. After the grand juries had been sworn yesterday, in the Com mission Court, Judge Ball inquired if there was any attendance in Court upon behalf of the Queen ? No one on the part of the Crown having answered, His Lordship proceeded to charge the grand juries. He said—Gentlemen of the city of Dublin grand jury, on refer ring to your calendar, I do not find any case (with one single exception) requiring any particular observations from me; but there is one described as a charge against a person for making use of treasonable and seditious language concerning the Queen, which, I would feel called upon particularly to refer to; however, I inquired if there was any attendance on the part of her Majesty, to ask if the Crown persisted in the charge; and as there is no attendance, I am obliged to tell you that I will not now make any observation to you upon the matter at present ; but if it become necessary, perhaps I will have to trouble you in a day or two. GREAT MEETING OF ROMAN CATHOLICS. In consequence of the exclusion of all the Roman Catholics from the special jury in the State trials, a requisition is in progress for an aggregate meeting of the Roman Catholics of Ireland, to petition Parliament and address the Queen on the subject. A large number of anti-repeaters have already signed the requisition. MEETING OF PARLIAMENT. The Dublin Evening Post of this afternoon contains the following oowinegni : n; of W reason movementto believe of a practical that, soon a endf.e r conc entrated kind will be made in re l at i on to the state of tp Ireland, and the extraordinary event s w hi c h h ave recently "tehe have ses g si o o o n d , a oc curred amongst us. It is stated th at L ord John Russell p is to bring the affairs of Ireland under the consideration of the House, by a substantive motion for inquiry by a Committee of the whole House, and that notice on the subject may be given in the first week of the session. Thus early, we deem it ne cessary to urge the prompt attendance of the Liberal Irish Members at the opening of the session." ARRIVAL OF MR. O'CONNELL. Last night Mr. O'Connell arrived in town, from his seat, Derrynane Abbey. The Hon. Gentleman is in excellent health. MR. O'CONNELL IN TIPPERARY. On Thursday Mr. O'Connell arrived at Clonmel, and was received (says the Freeman's Journal) with boundless enthu siasm. The corporation and the trades went out to meet him; he was conducted into the town in a solemn procession, and was greeted, as he passed, from every house. He appeared in excellent health and spirits, and much gratified at the de voted marks of attachment bestowed upon him by the inhabitants of the town. The Honourable and Learned Gen tleman addressed the assembled people from the balcony of his hotel, and most emphatically urged them, above all things, to keep the peace, and avoid every kind of violence. He was afterwards entertained at a banquet, at which the Very Rev. Dr. Burke was in the chair, and about 300 gentlemen were present. On his health being drank, Mr. O'Connell again made a long speech, the burden of which was to recommend the people to abstain from any kind of violence, assuring them that they would thereby be certain of obtaining repeal. He referred in a triumphant tone to the extraordinary progress which repeal had made in the course of the last year, which he ascribed t• the peaceful demeanour of the people. He said they had by their conduct demonstrated their fitness for self government,oomiogtriai n a o ll w ud iv ed a o i t n t t o h e c s a e ll w t o h r o ds ot t t e o ot t i h o e n o e f ffe l c r t e s lo o o f d his to ascertain how the repeal cause is to be stopped by means of such an event as this prosecution.—(Hear.) This is the question to be decided, and it involves the fate and fortunes of Ireland.—( Hear.) Suppose they sent us to gaol, how would that stop the Irish people in their career ? Will it cure any of our grievances that I should be wearing out my eyebrows against the bars of a prison ?—(Laughter.) Will England be improved by it—or will the Irish people be bettered by it?— ( Hear, hear.) Will the Irish people be reconciled by it ? ( Hear, hear.) There are two things necessary—first, ensuring the continuance of peaceable conduct on the part of the people.—( Hear, hear.) We have arrived at the strength, the dignity which now surrounds our cause, by being perfectly peaceable. Throughout the speech he was enthusiastically cheered, the company demonstrating in particular the warmest sympathy with him whenever he alluded to the prosecution. On his way to Dublin Mr. O'Connell received an address from the corporation of Kilkenny, who went forth to meet him in full costume and with all the insignia of their office. If his return thither at this season is to end in a prison, his journey is at least a series of triumphal processions. At a meeting of the freeholders of Tipperary, held on the 4th of January, it was resolved to put Nicholas Maher, of Tertalla, in nomination to fill the vacancy in the representation of that county. Mr. O'Connell was asked to allow his sou Daniel O'Connell to stand, but he deferred to the claims of Mr. Maher, who was, he said, a patriot long before patriotism was fashionable. ESSEX PROTECTION SOCIETY. ANTI••LEAGUE ASSOCIATION. COLCHESTER, SATURDAY.—This day the meeting of the Essex Protection Agricultural Society was held at the Cups Inn, Colchester. The meeting was well attended, and afforded another proof of the great progress which the League has been making, inasmuch as it has at length alarmed the mono polists from their fancied security, and induced them to imi tate, at humble distance, the gigantic efforts of that body. The meeting was chiefly remarkable for the somewhat virulent personal attacks made on Air. Cobden, and for the attempts, for the first time made, on the part of the Chairman, to answer the long unanswered challenge thrown out by the free traders in and out of the House iof Commons, to prove that there are any peculiar burthens on the land, which entitle its occupier to ask for artificial and exaggerated monopoly prices at the ex pense of all the other classes of the community. The time ap pointed for the meeting was twelve o'clock, but the attendance being confined to some six or seven persons, induced the chair man to delay taking the chair till nearly one,_ when there were present less than thirty persons. Aft er this time the rJom began to fill, and at one time there might have been 350 per sons present. MI% H. Baker, of Writtle, was called to Ithe chair, and reso lutions in accordance with the objects of the meeting, were unanimously agreed to. The subscriptions received at the me cling amounted to upwards of 5001. COURT CIRCULAR. 117.7cnseic SownAr.—Yesterday :morning the Queen and —flex Albert took their accustomed walk on the Castle Terrace, and in the Slopes. The Royal Family were taken their customary airings in the Royal Gardens. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Lord Rivers, Colonel Arbuthnot, and the Hon. Captain Duncombe, went to enjoy the sport of shooting in the Royal preserves. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Fanny Howard, the Hon. Francis and Lady Ann Charterjs, V►scount Anson, and Mr. G. E. and the Hon. Mrs. Anson, joined the Royal dinner party yesterday evening. This morning her Majesty and Prince Albert, the ladies and gentlemen of the Royal suite, and the household, attended Divine service in the Private Chapel of the Castle. The Hon. and Rev. C. Leslie Courtenay officiated, and preached from the 2d diaper of St. Luke, and the 3211 verse. The choristers belonging to her Majesty's Private Chapel were in attendance. Mr. Kohl, her Majesty's private organist, presided at the organ. • . In the afternoon her Majesty, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and attended by part of the Royal suite, walked in the grounds about the Ca stle. Mr. Murphy, the Mexican Minister, tr insacted business at the Foreign-office on Saturday. The Earl of Aberdeen, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir James Graham, and other Ministers, had interviews with Sir Robert Peel on Saturday. Sir Georue Clerk and other official gentlemen also visited the Right Hot i. Baronet.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer left his: residence in Down ing-street on Saturday, for Betchworth, Si trrey. PRESENTS FROM lIER MAJESTY TO TDB OJIII - Irintaxs.—Tier Majesty has just commanded to be transmitted to Mr. Catlin, through the n tedium of the Hon. C. A. Murray, the Master of the Household , a cheque for 201., to be presented to the Ojibbeway Indians,. who recently had the honour of an audience of her Majesty am d his Royal High ness Prince Albert at Windsor Castle, whe re they performed their war dances, war-whoops, &c., before the Court, in the Waterloo Gallery. Her Majesty has also been most graci ously pleased to notify, through the same channel, that the Royal command has been issued for the manufacture of a quantity of the " Queen's Scotch Plaid," w hich, when com pleted, will also be presented to the Ojibl ievvays as a gift from the Sovereign. We understand that the gift of 201. has been equally divided amongst the Indians by Mr. Catlin, each of vihom possesses a separate box, in which they preserve, each under his own lock and key, the various presents in money and other articles they have received since thei r arrival in England. The idea that they are about to receive from tire Que en a va riety of rich plaid. (which will probably be made lip int o dresses for them in England, to " astonish the natives" sport their re turn to their own country) has been to them a seem 3 of the greatest delight, and has inspired them with the most lively feelings of loyalty and gratitude to their " Great 'Mod ter," the title by which they designate the Queen of England. Letters from Vienne of the 28th of December an nounce the convalescence of his Excellency Ca Lint V. Munch Bellingliatisen. The indisposition of the nob! , e Count was so severe at one time that serious apprehensions v ~ere entertained of his recovery. DUTCH, PLAVtIERif, AND BURGH MAIL. THE DANUBE, DEC. 21.—Our late statement re• specting the neglect of the Sulina mouth of the Da nube has been confirmed in a melancholy man ner, for the violent storm which raged in the Black Sea at the end of October and the beginning of No vember, and in which above twelve merchantmen and many lives were lost, several ships which were in great danger attempted to anchor at Sulina, but on account of the shallowness of the channel were forced to put out to sea, when two of them perished in the storm, and others, with great losses of cargoes and da mage to the tackling, with much difficulty reached distant parts. At Sulina there were lying at anchor, for weeks together, a great number of ships with full cargoes (on one day above 100) waiting till there should he a sufficient depth of water in the channel to enable them to go to sea. The numerous complaints of the Austrian shipowners, to which those of the Da nube Steam Navigation Company are now added, will certainly induce the Austrian Government to take some decided steps (if it has not already done so) to obtain from Russia the adoption of measures to make the channel in the Sulina mouth passable, without da mage, for large vessels.— Cologne Gazelle. The Gazette cello Lole lonic contains the following article :—" A ship under Turkish colours, coming from 13engasi, and hound to Camila, arrived on the 14th of i 1 )v. in the harbour of Zante. On board there were three Mahotnetan merchants, who, having purchased slaves in the market of 13engasi, intended to convey them to other places, in hopes of great profit by this inhuman traffic. The Government, being informed of this fact, has, by virtue of the power, given it by the 11th Act of the second Parliament, declared the slaves to be free, and has given up the ships to the Turkish Vice-Consul." lines:4El.s, JAN. 4.—The average price of wheat during the week ending Dec. 30, 1843, was 17f. 60c., and that of rye 1 lf. 14c. The import duty there fore on wheat is 37f. 50c., and on rye 21f. 50c., and the export duty n both 25 centimes per 1,000 kilo grammes. The duties received at Antwerp during the month of Dec. amounted to 48,917 f.

Tke object proposed is to sere-, the ports of the Lower Rhine, and thus to avoid the enense of transshipping and forwarding goods, to which they would be subject in consignments made by the railway, since that'goes no further than Cologne. The following measure, of which the official journals give notice, appears to us to he very worthy of commendation. At the time of the inquiry into the state of the linen manufac tures, the frauds practised in the trade of flax seed to the pre judice of our farmers, and of the quality of our linens was re peatedly pointed out ; it was the subject of numerous com plaints. The Committee of Inquiry in its Reports called the attention of the Government to this subject ; we are happy to find that a formality has just been adopted which will serve to cheek the evil, if nut entirely, yet in a great measure. The following is the notice :-- "'l'o satisfy the wishes of the merchants cf Riga, the Bel gian Consul in that city has been authorised (whenever he shall be requested by the merchants) to affix to the barrels of linseed intended for Belgium leaden stamps, with the Consular seal, and to deliver at the same time certificates stating the origin and the destination of the seed." It is evident that this measure must give our farmers more certain guarantees for the real origin of seed sold as Riga seed, especially if it is delivered in the original packages, preserved entire, and if at the time o f th e sa l e it i s accompanied by the certificates given by the Consul. The committee of the merchants at Riga has decided that the expenses on consignments of linseed for Belgium shall be reduced to the same rate as on those for England.
