We can all understand that an indictment for wh• t r aeY might be justifiable, or the only proceeding by le individuals could be punished in certain eases. In Tiii.nfi .against private individuals for doing a peivate nt might be necessary t3indict persons for a conspiracy. In °Persons might conspire to rob a man of his property, and sit a ease the concert of their acts might be taken as the vsi t ev idence of their conspiracy . Men might be charged e 2 ,, offences; of another character, and an indictment for con nni might here too be the only remedy. Bat the law of spumee nstitution looked with jealousy on the doctrine of con e.._Y being resorted to as a political instrument in a State pro and I again repeat that it becomes a still more ob e,„:41118 proceeding —one to be discarded and sCouted from a igritof justice, when an indictment is founded on three bun g /r "Parate acts; the Learned Gentlemen then cited the case against 411 '1 Hunt bef ore re f erre d to.

The jury repudiated, as dangerous to the titution, this indicting for conspiracy. Then why was fo r te ,, u nt a count in this indictment against the traversers thh e 'reding an illegal meeting? Gentlemen, the ease is tioe f " neck or nothing" for the Crown ; it wants a convic e "t or t .,..,wnspiracy and therefore it would not insert a count the — "auk gan unlawful assembly; it thought that if you had 'pant ilternative you would only find those guilty under that of th e /he did attend such meetings, and acquit them shon e o , e untfie of conspiring.

One of the traversers, he understood, Was to address the Court himself. He admitted that the illness of Mr. Fitzgibbon was quite a sufficient reason for his not ad dressing the jury, but he thought it might be desirable that one of the other gentlemen should do so.

Mr. O'Brien came amongst them 41 Itupo u t is Peri , and whatever might be the result of I Sta t° trials, tie people of Ireland would sot • want for leaders.—( Hear, hear.) He was proud to say, the utmost tranquillity existed in the country, and should he be sent. to prison, his chief consolation would be, that they continued quiet, and that the reward of their peaceful con duct would be a repeal of the union.—( Hear, hear.) He was proud the resolutions were proposed by Mr. O'Brien, parti- - cularly at a time when his valued friend, Mr. Maher, was a candidate for Tipperary, where he would be returned in spite of every opposition. He (Mr O'Connell) did not know exactly what legal mode would be necessary for him to adopt after the trials; but he would require of the people of Ireland, whatever that should be, to give it their perfect ac quiescence,—(Cheers.) Although they would obey the law as laid down by the judges, yet they would never consent to the union ; and should it be said that the Attorney-General's pro secutions would frighten the Irish people ?—(Cheers. ) One thing gave him much pain, and that was the diminished amount of the repeal rent. He had received several commu nications, saying that remittances would be made after the pro secutions were over, and he could not help expressing his en tire disapproval of such a plan. Whatever they sent would of course be placed to their credit, and they must be aware that any diminution in the rent and patriotism of the people, would be a triumph to their enemies. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman then referred to the natural advantages which Ireland possessed; and concluded by saying that peace and perseverance was ;heir motto—peace and perseverance the safety valve of the State, and that peace and perseverance would finally obtain for them a repeal et the union. The resolutions were then put, seriatim, and adopted by acclamation. Several sums of money were then handed in, amounting to upwards of 201. Mr. DUNNE handed in a petition to be presented by Mr. O'Connell to Parliament, signed by 9,500 conspirators, for a repeal of the union. Mr. O'Cowarett—Harra for repeal. Mr. JonN O'CorceELL alluded in terms of admiration to the splendid specimen of eloquence which Mr. Sheil had given on Saturday last in his behalf, in the Court of Queen's Bench. Whatever became of the prosecutions, whatever was the doom to which he (Mr. J. O'Connell) might be subjected, he never would cease his exertions for the attainment of the legislative independence of their native land.—(Cheers. ) The Rev. T. O'MatLxv then addressed the meeting. He alluded to some observations made by an Hon. and Gallant Member of the Association in disparagement of " federalism ;" but he would not then enter into a discussion on the subject, as he intended to reserve himself to ans wer the common enemy. Federalism was, in some mea sure, a child of his own. He had made many sacrifices, as his Won. Friend Mr. O'Brien could testify, in coming for ward to advocate it ; yet he was not blindly wedded to any opinions on the subject. The Rev. Gentleman then alluded to the Government of the United States, from which he drew the model of his plan, and where he resided during some of , the happiest days of his life. So far was federalism from being opposed to the repeal of the Legislative Union, it was directly contrary ; for they held that the Aet of Union should be vir tually repealed before the principle of federalism could come into play. In military parlance, the Federalists were a corps of the grand army of Repealers ; and their proposition re duced the controversy with England to this—was she satis fied with a union of equality—a union which, instead of weak ening her political condition, would strengthen it far beyond what it was at present ?—( Hear, hear.) The Whigs, it ap peared, were not willing to give the people their own Parlia ment : but they were ready to have a Parliament assemble here once in every three years—a plan which he had no hesita tion in denouncing as a clumsy mode of satisfying the wants and wishes of the Irish people. He could not see that a passage from one country to the !other would make gentlemen change their places from one side to the other ; and what ad vantages could, therefore, be derived from such a plan ? There was no salvation for Ireland out of the pale and protection of an Irish Parliament ; for, let the two great parties of the State battle as they might, it was only by such a Parliament the country could be redeemed from the evils which pressed upon her energies and destroyed her resources.—(Hear.) The Rev. Gentleman concluded amidst loud cheers. Mr. WILLIAMS, an American gentleman, addressed the meeting, but was called to order by Mr. O'Connell, in conse quence of strong language which he had made use of. Mr. S. O'BRIEN gave notice of a motion for the appoint ment of a committee to watch ever the proceedings of Members of Parliament. Mr. O'Cowtrxtt observed that some persons were going about the city, as they had done before, to entrap persons, col lecting money to finish the Conciliation-hall. Now he wished to inform the public that such persons were guilty of a gross fraud—that no money was required for such a purpose—and he hoped those who were duped would take every measure to bring the perpetrators of the fraud before the magistrates. The Carataaraie handed in a pound, as the subscription for the year 1844 of the Rev. Mr. Mears, P.P., of Toomevara, in the county of Tipperary. Mr. O'Cotorett had great pleasure inicoposing the thanks of the Association to the Rev. Mr. Meara, one of the oldest and best friends of Ireland. He was mainly instrumental in putting an end to those factions comically termed "Black Hens and Magpies," in the county of Tipperary, and had actually succeeded in making the black hens marry the magpies. The repeal rent was then announced to be 3721.145. 11d., after Which Sir Valentine Blake, Bart., M. P., took the chair, and the meeting adjourned to Monday next. THE STATE PROSECUTIONS. We are really at a loss to conjecture what good Sir Robert Peel expects from the prosecution of Mr. O'Con nelL Be the result what it may—acquittal or punish ment--the influence of the agitator is sure to be aug mented, and the authority of the Government propor tionally weakened. At the date of the latest accounts, the Court of Queen's Bench had sat eight days, but not a single circumstance had been brought to light that was not well known before. The foul and wicked conspiracy of the Attorney-General, turn'S out to be nothing more than an open combination to effect a change in the law, such as has existed over and over again in all parts of the country, and such as exists in the Complete Suf frage Union and Anti-Corn-law League, at present. All that has been proved, and all, we are satisfied, that can be proved, a ga i ns t O'C onne ll is, that he has organised associations, collected subscriptions, and given tickets of membership to as many people as desired to repeal an Act of Parliament that has only existed some forty years. This he has done peaceably, and accompanied yprofessions of the most unbounded loyalty. Now, what is there in all this that has not been done a hundred times over—that is not done at present ? What greater crime has O'Connell committed than the Reform leaders of 1831, or than the Anti-Corn-law and Complete-Suffrage agitators of 1843? None whatever. But the Ministry feel themselves in a difficulty, and they try to evade the concession of justice to Ireland, by wielding the instruments of justice to do her more grievous wrong than she yet has suffered. The whole course of this prosecution has been marked by folly. It began ill in the suppression of the Clontarf meeting, and it has gone on from bad to worse through the blunders of the preliminary proceedings—the unfair ness of the panel—and the ludicrous absurdities of the Crown witnesses. Come out of it what will, the Adai r nistration must suffer.—Aberdeen Herald. TWO SUPPLEMENTS GRATIS, WITH THE "DISPATCH." GREAT NATIONAL TRIAL AT DUBLIN. The immense size of THE WEEKLY DISPATCH has, hitherto, enabled its Proprietors on all occasions to present a copious, and, at the same time, interesting account of tire events of each week. It is, however, now found utterly impossible to give anything like a faithful report of the Trial of Mr. O'Con nell and his repeal associates, without excluding a great mass of interesting domestic and foreign intelligence - the Proprietors, therefore, feel that their journal, which has b een for years, and. is now, h onoured with more patronage than any other in ex istence, should be, in all respects, complete ; and, with that view, they intend to insert a summary of the proceedings during the progress of the trial in their usual columns, and present to their friends and subscribers • TWO SUPPLEMENTS, GRATIS. One of these Supplements will be published on the Sunday suc ceeding the delivery of the Verdict, and will contain the Speeches of Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Sheil, Sir C. O'Loghlin, the Attorney- General, and other leading Counsel; together with the Summing tip of the Judge, the Verdict of the Jury, and other matters of im portance that may arise up to the latest hour, for which the services of several short-hand writers of eminence have been specially engaged. The second Supplement (also of the full size of THE WEEKLY DISPATCH) will, in fact, form the early portion of the trial, and embrace the pro ceedings of the commencement to that stage at which the other begins; so that every subscriber to THE WEEKLY DISPATCH will be in possession of a complete and faithful report of this great national trial—a trial which must become a matter of history, and be regarded as an event of no ordinary importance in after time. A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF MR. O'CONNELL will precede the account of the Trial, which will be written by a gentleman intimately ac quainted with the " great Agitator," and consequently one who has treasured up many reminiscences that will render the Bio graphy a paper of general aid absorbing interest. The Two Supplements, forming Ninety-six Columns, will be printed uniformly with THE DISPATCH, and contain a quantity of matter equal to at least an octavo volume of 600 pages. - THE DISPATCM is supplied by every Newsvender in London, and by the various Booksellers and News Agents in the country, to whom bills for circulation will be forwarded, with the name and address attached, on receiving a letter to that effect, directed to Mr. Wood, Dispatch-office, 130, Fleet street, where orders are also received. Tun SZCIIIIT PASSION.—The author of " Shak speare and his Friends," and " The Youth of Shakspeare," two fictions which may be said to have created an entirely new school of novel writing, and which at once received the stamp of the highest public approbation, has again come be fore his admirers with a new story entitled " The Secret Pas sion." Without betraying the mystery of the plot, it will be sufficient to direct our readers' attention to the work to say that it is written in quite as original and striking a style as that which marked the author's former productions, and that at the same time it displays equal powers of fertile invention in the incidents as well as truth and variety of character. It has the additional attraction of offering a series of delineations of the moral feelings, such as have rarely been pourtrayed by any of the master hands who have treated of the development of human passion through the medium of fiction. CAIDIFF.—RATHXR MISTAKEN.—A certain gen tleman, who is well known to the commercial world in the localities of Cardiff, Merthyr, and Newport, had a meeting of importance to attend at one of these places on a Saturday evening some time ago, and having finished his avocations at a considerable distance from the place of the meeting, he engaged a famous pony to convey him in haste to the place of appointment. He arrived at an inn on the road not 100 miles from Newbridge, about dusk, and alighted to regale himself with good creature comforts, and to rest his horse. After tasting and trying a good quantity of that which the house produced, and toying with the ladies, till both alcohol and love made him feel rather bewildered, he was reminded at length of the flight of time, by hie gold chain and watch, and getting up, and taking a hasty farewell of bright eyes and rosy wine, he straightway proceeded to mount his pony ; but lo ! when seated, he discovered that his charger was minus saddle and bridle 1 Dismounting-, as well as he could, and in a towering passion, he reached the bar in a twinkling, and upbraided the landlord in a masterly style, desiring him to come out forthwith to see the pony without bridle or saddle. Out they went, and behold they discovered that our hero had actually mistaken a poor old cow for his pony, and had been on her back, in the idea of riding home quite comfortably, while she was quietly eating grains from a pail by the door. The pony was standing within a few yards, going off in a quiet dose, from which he was roused by the loud laughter which pealed around, on discovering the gentleman's queer mistake.—Monmouth Merlin. ASTLEY'S.—The attractions at this popular theatre continue to fill the house every evening. Last night, the Battle of Waterloo and the Equestrian exhibition, afforded the greatest delight to a house crowded to the ceiling.

GLOBE.—Our Contemporaries, without respec to mere party politics, have united in paying the highest praise to Mr. Sheil's speech. This offering at the shrine of talent is creditable to their taste ; and will go far to excuse those of them who endeavour to weaken the effect of that splendid effort upon the case for the prosecution. That those who have prejudged the case—who have laboured for a conviction, and have therefore defended the means by which the Attorney- General has endeavoured to secure it—that these jour nals should feel general chagrin when they discover the weakness of the case, as made out by the Crown lawyers, and the effective dispersion of that air-built pile by the powerful speech of Mr. Sheil, is not to be wondered at. Admit the relevancy of the topics which constituted the material of Mr. Sheil's argument, and, for any purpose for which the• prosecution was insti tuted, the case might as well be withdrawn from the consideration of the jury. The " monster indictment" has become so much waste parchment—utterly worth less, except as a memorial of the legal ingenuity and labour employed in its fabrication. Hence the efforts of the Tory journals to neutralise the ef fect of Mr. Sheirs oration. It was " effective," " brilliant "—" the most able effort of an able man " ____" the best speech of the Grattan school of eloquence ever a deliveredsimbyil aarnyopinion being expressed without discipl e o f that school, or by its founder ;" any important variation of phraseology by them all. But then the speech which they thus agree to prai se, was so much eloquence wasted ; for, say they, " it failed to touch the defendants' case ;" and, therefore, though commanding admiration by its extraordinary merits as an oration, has not succeeded in influencing the judgment of the third party—the jury and the pu blic. What, then, i s th e d e f en d an ts' case ? This question must be determined before the inquiry as to the effect of Mr. Sheil's speech on that case can be answered. The indictment charges " conspiracy" — a co mbination to effect a n ill ega l purpose ; or to effect a legal purpose by unlawful means. Mr. Sheil opposed to this, the most formidable count in the monster indict ment, the fact—admitted by the witnesses for the Crown—that every meeting of the alleged conspira tors was open to every person without distinction, who, by the payment of a shilling for enrolment as a member of the Association, desired to know what they said and what they did. Even this small fee was not demanded from the reporters for the public press, nor from the short-hand writer who announced himself an agent of the Government. The Repeal Association published its documents to the world. The correspondence was read openly; and was pub lished in the papers of the day, as part and parcel of the proceedings of its meetings. Such a conspiracy was never before heard of. Not a day passed but the news papers told all that could be known respecting it, The Attorney-General himself has admitted this. Ills speech was little more than a repetition of what ever = y knew from a perusal of any newspaper • This rehearsal was, it is true, seasoned with a somewhat alarming assurance to the jury, of "as wicked a conspiracy as ever yet was entered into against the peace of any country ;" but it was a mere momentary flight of imagination ; it excited inordinate expecta tions of some astounding revelation, which was doomed to disappointment. STANDARD.—It is important that the public should be put in possession of the marks proper to distinguish those who ruin causes and parties, by supporting the right on wrong grounds, and by " making bad worse," when they happen to be on the wrong side • and our time happily furnishes an example in which we can trace all those marks without the least chance of error, and with a certainty that in pointing them out we can not possibly offer offence or wrong to political integrity. The example in question is the for merly renowned Sir Thomas Buckler Lethbridge, who has once more emerged from has natural ob scurity to instruct the people of Engld. Thirty four years ago Toryism, though otherwise the true patriotic faith, was, truly or falsely, said to be a little tyrannical ; certainly, it was not favourably disposed to popular rights, and then the future Radical was of course the most violent of Tories. He it was who moved the committal to the Tower of the late lamented Sir Francis Bur dett for a letter, little differing from the pre amble to the Reform Bill, afterwards supported with zeal and even fury by the imprisoner of the honest and able, though somewhat extravagant, Member for Westminster A few years later the Irish Romanists pressed their demands. These de mands were resisted upon the two-fold ground—that Romanism was false in doctrine, and that its political organisation must render it both dangerous to j the peace of a country goVerned by free institutions, and obstructive of improvement and civilisation. Sir Thomas, of course, chase the weaker groud, or perphaps took a weaker than the weakest ground taken by others, and opposed what was called Ca tholic Emancipation, as an extension of civil liberty. This was not less absurd than the argument of his friend, the late Mr. John Fuller, of Sussex, who \ denounced Romanists a s unworthy of civil rights, because the majority wore red waist coa t s an d bl ue breeches, and frequently stockings that did not cover the foot.

CLIFFORD, Acting G. C. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Jan. 30. (Sittings in Banco.) BOSANQUET V. GRAHAM. This was the case in which the London and Westminster Bank were plaintiffs, and the South Western District Bank defendants, and which has been so often before the Court. The defendant Graham was the public officer of the latter bank, and in such capacity had executed a warrant of at torney to the plaintiff, on which judgment had been entered up. A rule nisi had been obtained to set it aside, and the Court had directed an issue to be tried, in order to ascertain the facts of the case. That issue had been found for plaintiff. A new trial had been applied for and refused. So that every question had been decided in favour of plaintiff. ' The Attorney-General. this morning, applied to the Court to discharge the rule nisi, to set aside the judgment as against his client, Mr. Graham, with costs.—The Cou r t, granted the application. P. tTI4I CRIMINAI, DTFORI•LtTION.--21IE QUEEN V.:IIAILPDEN. In this case a rule nisi had been obtained for a criminal information against the defendant, under the following cir cumstances. Mr. Eyton, the applicant, and defendant, were both gentlemen of fortune, residing in Warwickshire, and had at one time been intimately acquainted. At length the attentions of Mr. Hampden to Mrs. Eyton be came very marked, and that lady complained to her husband of Mr. Hampden's conduct, and Mr. Eyton remonstrated with him, but Mr. Hampden continued to annoy the lady, and the consequence was a fracas between the parties, and the application by Mr. Hampden of the terms liar and coward to Mr. Eyton. Some time since a portrait painter, at Leamington had taken Mr. Evton's portrait, and had, with Mr. Eton's permission, exhibited it at the News-rooms, as a specimen of his talents. Shortly afterwards Mr. Reeves, the keeper of the rooms, received an anonymous letter, stating that he was likely to do an injury to his business by publicly , exhibiting in his rooms the portrait of a man who had suifered himself publicly to be called a liar and coward. Eyton then applied for a criminal information against defendant, alleging in his affidavit that he believed defendant was the writer of the letter. Several other persons who had seen it declared their belief that it was defendant's writing'. Mr. THESIGER this morning showed cause against the rule, and read the affidavit of the defendant, distinctly denying that he was the writer of the letter. Lord DEN MAN—Where the question is one of simple fact, and that fact is distinctly denied, the Court, I believe, never interferes by criminal information. It is a matter to go to a grand jury. Mr. - KELY, in suppport of the rule, argued that notwith standing a denial of a fact by the party accused, yet the Court could interfere if the case were one in which there wile strong probability that the charge was true. Lord DENMAN said that in such a case the Court might possibly interfere, but in the present case the matter was of too little importance for the time of the Court to be wasted by going into a minute inquiry on the subject. The rule must be discharged, but without costs. - COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 30. (Sittings in Banco.) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. CLARKE. Mr. JERVIS (with whom was Mr. Erie and Mr. Wylde) moved for a rule to call upon the Attorney-General to shove cause why the verdict found for the Crown should not be set aside and entered for the defendant. It appeared that the defendant entered for exportation a large quantity of foreign wines at lees than their real value, which subjected the wines to forfeiture to the Crown, and they were accordingly removed to the Queen's warehouse, where they now are. Mr. WARREN showed cause against the informality of seizure on the ground on which the ♦erdict was sought to be set aside. The arguments on both sides were of a technical character, and occupied the attention of the Court the whole of the morning.—Judgment deferred. CUSTOMS.--PASSENGERS' BAGGAGE. The Board having had under consideration the regulations' which were adopted last summer at the Baggage Warehouse, Fresh-wharf, London-bridge, in regard to the landing, ex.' mining, and delivering of passengers' baggage; and a Com mittee of the Board, on the waterside and warehousing de partments, after having conferred with several officers, having represented that the regulations have fully answered the purpose contemplated, and recommended that they may be permanently adopted, and extended to the several other baggage stations ; it has been resolved that the recommen dation of the Committee is approved, and ordered that the same be adopted accordingly. The following is the principal portion of the regulations referred to:- 1. That a certain label or ticket be affixed, with paste or gum, to each package of baggage by weighers, under the directions of the baggage officers, as it is received into the warehouse, such label or tickets being numbered progres sively, from one upwards, with the name of the ship and dat e ,, of landing. 2. That so soon as the whole of the packages are deposited in the warehouses and labelled, the examining officer do im mediately count the same, in order to ascertain that the number received do correspond with the highest progressive, number upon the labels affixed, and thereupon enter the total number in the baggage book. 3. That each weigher, assisting in the examination of baggage, be provided with a pocket slate, to take down the name of the passengers, and the numbers upon the labels of each of the packages belonging thereto, which the landing waiter is to enter in the proper column of his ledger, before he proceeds with the examination. 4. That upon the examination of each package being completed, and recorded by the landing waiter, the label be forthwith stamped by him in red ink, "Examined," with a stamp, to be furnished for that purpose, having the name of the station thereon. 5. That a numerical sheet, printed in red ink, be supplied to the officer stationed at the door, and also a stamp marked " delivered," with which he is, in black ink,. to stamp that. ' part of the label previously stamped by the examining officer, in order that it may not be again used, and then stamp the number in his numerical sheet, corresponding with that upon the label affixed to the package, taking care that . he does not allow any package to pass without being duly labelled and stamped 6. That the examining officer do enjoin the officers acting as constables, or door-keepers, not to allow any package to pass out, upon which the label affixed thereto does not bear the impression of two stamps, as required by these regulations. These regulations will have the effect of affording greater security to the baggage of passengers arriving from the Con tinent by steam-vessels at all hours. Steamers, as is per fectly well known, very frequently arrive in the middle of the night, and even when they arrive in the day time, there is, particularly in the summer season, a great number of loungers always collected at the steam-wharfs, some of them not of the very best character, and therefore this order will, in fact, be a boon to travellers, in consequence of the sur veillance which will be exercised by the officers of the Cus toms, and of the consequent additional security afforded to their property. We have frequently heard complaints of delay in the delivery of baggage, parties sayin_that they are not attended to in their proper turns, &c. This will remedied by the new regulations, which are extended to, wad in operation at all the steam-wharfs. Some persons do not wish to take their baggage away with them, and are satis fied, on being assured of its being secure, to receive it 'On the following day ; but to many it is of great importance that they receive their baggage and effects as quickly as pos sible • to those we would sug ges t, th a t th e i r o bj ec t wou ld b e gained, if they were to take care that their baggage is placed as nearlyat the top of the hold of the ship as possible, on their• embarking for this country, as on the arrival of the vessel„ the packages are taken out in rotation, hoisted into the ex-- iunining floor, ticketed as stated above, and delivered to the owners accordingly. BOULOGNE AND CALAlS.—During the week end ing the 26th inst., tho number of persons who embarled or disembarked from and for England were—At Bouloene,-624 ; at Calais, 234—total, 858. The proprietors of tbe Dover . Railway have, during the last week, entered into al, arrange ment with the authorities, by which travellers esiming from France in the packets may immediately receive their lug gage, so as to be enabled to proceed to London by the next train after their arrival, instead of, as hitherto, being cOna: pelled to wait some hours for the of percels'al! . goods through the Custon-houie. e charge; for thif ig e" of tional accommodation is ls. per parcel above.' the , 56 lb. and for smaller parcels 6d. each. rative We understand that on SaturdSaturday,cotton-spinners of this city and neighbourhood anvn egear cpor pretty o generally, a notice of a demand for a dvance o cent on their wages. It is uncertain whether the demand ,drris of Monday. will be complied with; but If not a ttlIE-Qtat is extremely probable. Glasgow pro • ;in oh No bat !El . Cs- Itgt his Bit • ot 30e la- !!!
