Both Houses met last night Lordsfor the first time after Ole recess. In the House ofthe Marquis of CLAN RICARDE moved for a Select Committee to eon-. sider the Bill for the construction railway froin Chester to Holyhead, and after vome a r ta. the Duke of WELLINGTON, Lord KENYON, and Lordfrin MONTEAGLE, the motion was postponed till TUesday. Lord CAMPBELL postponed his Bill on the law' of libel till Friday. The Lord Chancellor said he would, on that day, present a modified Bill on the subject. After some other business of little importance the Rouse adjourned. In the Howe of. CoMmoris Lord ARTHUR LErmox took his seat for Chichester, and. Sir THOMAS FEE ISANTLE fur Buckitthana After a great number 'of petitions bad been pre sented, Mr. thrti-IS moved that a Select Committee to appointed to inquire into the claims of Mr. Cur- CBESTER, as sole executor of ROBERT "WILLIAM 'VowELL, an uncompensated American Loyalist. Sir 3EoaoE CLERK opposecf the . motion, which •was ne gatived without a division. sy,AV :IMtlliElitx, obtained leave to bring in a Bill to • - e Rics eal ,in,epulinal ea ses . li e ma d e an 6 sue,, thii important question, and.,Aussuft ( . . , : ,effeetitAy t bsurd principle that, ' while appeals i t ; ~- :were . . e, in cm. eases, V -(1 1- mi (I, " •* 1 no appeals in the • - \-.., •, , reient iitc., the law were allowed in cases where ' \_ 4,1014 . . uman being was at stake, Sir JAMES I I GRAHAM did not oppose the motion, though he could not pledge the Government to support it. On the motion for the House going into a Com mittee of Supply, Mr. ROEBUCK brought the state of Canada under the consideration of the House, but made no motion. Lord STANLEY replied at great length, and de fended the conduct of Sir C. bIETCALFE. After speeches from Mr. HUME, Mr. C. BULLER, Lord J. RUSSELL, and Sir R. PEEL, the subject dropped. The report of the Committee of Supply was brought up and agreed to, the other business was disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to One o'Clock. So, Sir JAMES GRAHAM is going to make another inroad upon the liberty of the English people. The gambling-booths at Epsom and Ascot, as they have been called, are abolished. There is to be no more roulette, no more pitch and toss, no more stick throwing, no more thimble-rigging. The. Derby Dilly is about to establish a new era, introduce a great moral reform among the middle and lower classes, and make this country a model for virtue, honesty, and sobriety. For several years, in almost every public-house throughout the empire, small sums have been subscribed, solely, with perhaps a few excep tions, for amusement, and rational amusement too, in order to raise a fund, which may be spent on the con clusion of the principal races, possibly not more than four during the season. Nothing like gain, or unfair play, or robbery was attempted. These little " re-unions," to use a French phrase, were attended by the most respectable tradesmen of the neighbourhood, they were con ducted on fair and honourable principles, they were looked forward to with as much interest as the Derby or the St. Leger by Lord GEORGE BENTINCK, or any other Lord, and we believe not one in ten thousand ever suffered by them. It appears, however, that these pastimes are too aristocratical; they follow closely in the rear of CROCKFORD'S, and WHITE'S, and fifty other clubs, frequented by the virtuous upper classes ; and the Derby Dilly, a section of the new moral government, have resolved to put them down. A feeler to this effect has been sent forth, we believe at the instigation of the Home Secretary, in these words :—" It is the intention of Government to adopt measures for the immediate suppression of racing speculations. Arrangements are about being made with the magistracy to carry this intention of the Government into effect ; ,for which purpose the police authorities will receive instructions to give notice to publicans that if they, for the future, permit lotteries' or ' sweepstakes' to be held, they will not only subject themselves• to heavy penalties, but, by permitting them to take place on their premises, such an illegal proceeding will en danger the licenses of their respective houses." The already oppressed publicans are thus to be made the first victims. The new police is to be let loose upon thousands of the most respectable class of the community who frequent their houses; they are to be prohibited from taking any interest in' the national sports of the country, purely for the sake of preserving their morality ; and a despotic law is to be carried into effect by men who vote black white, who change their political principles, and break the most solemn pledge's, to suit their own selfish interests. If the people of England submit to this tyrannical inter ference, therdeserve to be slaves. Is not the law strong enough ? If any hotel keeper forms a scheme for robbing his customers, cannot he be reached by the ordinary course of legal procedure ? Why should all the innocent, as well as the guilty, be' subjected to the same punishment? This is law of the Emperor NICHOLAS and MEHEMET ALT, and if Englishmen remain passive under this new moral system, they will, soon become as thorough slaves as the 'serfs of Russia and the fellahs of Egypt. But the despotism of the scheme is only equalled by its, inefficiency. Can this ordonnance of the Home Secretary' put down these sweepstakes ? The thousands that take an interest in them will assemble in. some other manner, and they will take vengeance on this meddling, hypocritical, and do-nothing Government, by an increased interest in these harmless amuse ments. The Whigs, by their foolish Police Act, alienated many of their' best supporters, and paved the way for their downfal. The moral Government is imitating their example, and will meet with the same fate. The men who have adopted and rejected almost every political principle ; who have winked at the Exchequer robberies; who have screened all the great delinquents in the' Custom-house thefts, - because they belong to their own class; the men who make the most solemn pledges on the hustings, and as solemnly break them 'in Parliament,. are, forsooth, to be the censors of the most honourable men of the community - --the middle classes. Their time, how ever, will come, and, if the system is continued, they will find it at the next election. This cruel inter ference with every action of common life is exciting dire hostility against the upper classes. They imagine they are creating, like Mr. OWEN, a New Harmony, while they are creating elements for their own de struction. • The high price of coals in the metropolis, the great selling mart of this indispensable description of fuel, has long been a signal but an unredressed grievance upon the London consumer. Various plans have been devised, from time to time, for facilitating the moorings of the ,colliera within the port, and the deli very of their cargoes ; but, hitherto, with little or no effect upon that system of combination which has operated to keep cargoes out of the market when the prices have been low, and to pour them in. when prices have been high, with 'a degree of surprising consistency and constancy. The connexion between cause and . effect was never more palpable than in the certainty with which the number of cargoes discharged deelined with the lower, and multiplied with the higher quotations. In our paper of Wednesday we reported the procet dings which had takeilnlace at the Mansion house, on a complaint brought before the Lord Mayor, by a seaman, against the captain of a Hartlepool col lier, It appeared that the man had signed an agree merit with the owners to work the vessel from Hartle pool to London and back for 41., but that he had no notion; in doing so, of-being detained "over the three market days all Owed by Act of Parliament to each collier for discharging and clearing out." The brig had been already twenty market days in the river • . and himself, and others an .the same 'condition, who had wives" and children .in the port froth whence they had sailed, knew that these unfortunate connexions must either 'ire starving, or thrown on the union poor houses fur relief, owing to the inadequacy of the wages earned to so protracted and unlocked for a term of detention in the Thames. The Lord Mayor seems to have been quite alive to the cruelty of the' case aaaffecting the seamen engaged under this kind of liability, and to the injustice which the practice of colliers remaining "in sections," with cargoes unsold, long after the expiration'of the three market days al lowed by the Act, entailed upon the public by enhanc • ing the price: From subsequent communications be tween the Lord Mayor Mid .Mr..ltowr,arato; harbour master of the port . of London, facts transpired that surely lay a strong case for the interfer ence of his Lordshi p, as Conservator of the Thames Navigation, andepen , dently of a case for his• magisterial intervention, to. defeat the oppressive operation of a spirit of reckless monopoly on the part of coal-owners and their agents. From a return given in by the harbour-master, ex tending from the Ist to the 28th instant, "of the number of coal-laden vessels arrived at' Gravesend ; the number detained in sections ; the number of car goes sold in the market, and the prices - at which they were sold," we perceive that the total number of col liera arrived, in all that period, was 353 ; that, from the Ist to the 7th inst., there arrived of this numLer 116, and there were sold only 66 cargoes; the largest number of colliers detained in sections being on the ; Ist, when there we re 280, an d t h e - sma ll est on th e 4th, when there were 228. From the Bth to the 17th inclusive there were 139 arrivals, and 156 cargoes sold.; the smallest number in the sections being 219, the largest 271. From the 18th to the 28th inclusive there were 98 arrivals, 109 cargoes sold ; the smallest number - in sections 107; -the largest 204. In the twenty-eight days, therefore, 353 colliers had arrived whereof 331 had sold their cargoes in the market, leaving '22- .which had not, sold to be added to the nurnber detained, on the same account, in the s ee _ tithis."---The'ritiniber detained,- on - . an average -v.f: the m w ? h i m o whole e t t w n e r n n t y a - n e d i g b lo t 7 days e ( m 2B i n O n i h a u : n- wasbeen), j t 9 h B e . maxi mum prices at which the best coals were sold, varied, be tween the Ist and the 24th, only from - 225. to 235. 6d.; Oricata .......1005 ..1010 but this note is added to the harbour-master's return, viz.— " 27th May, or the last market day, three colliers ar rived, 100 sail detained iri sections, 32 ships' cargoes sold, and the price tif the ben coals Artkiyiiig frbm 24 to shillirio; or libbut 84-s. per ton to the consumer." Mr. Ablerman HUMPUERY sensibly remarked that it was astonishing how a systematic violation of an Act of Parliament, which had the effect of running up the price of coals Bs. or 10s. per ton to the consu mer, should have been endured so long by the public, which raised such an outcry at a proposed additional duty of 4d. per ton on this commodity. This duty, be it observed, is, at any rate, for specified public pur poses. The enhanced price of Bs. or 10s. beyond the natural price which coals, at their present supply, would command, goes exclusively into the pockets of the .combining coal-owners and their agents, at the expense of the London consumer ; and to enable them to accomplish this cheat, the navigation of the river is rendered incommodious and dangerous, and the general convenience of shipping trading with the port of London materially encroached upon by those huge sections of monopoly-price colliers. 'We are very glad to observe the Lord Mayor holding this language on the subject : " He should meet them with a plan calculated to defeat their exertions. There were three market days allowed, and every ship which refused to sell within the specified time 'namely, the ditration of the three market days, should be compelled to more out of the sections, and below Gravesend altogether, out of the mayoralty juris diction." . " The colliers shall not make a warehouse of the Thames. It is quite absurd to suppose that they would remain forty and fifty days in the river without meaning to remunerate themselves for the delay by drawing upon the public. It is my instruction to you, Captain Row. land, to intimate to the captains of all colliers which come into London, that if they refuse to sell within the three market days they must remove out of the bounds of my jurisdiction altogether." We verily believe that no city of Europe, in refer ence to the vast and various commerce of its port, and especially its coasting trade, derives so little local or immediate advantages from its position as London. The same vigilance which we trust henceforth to see directed to the supply of coal, might greatly multiply' cheapen, and facilitate the comfort and enjoyment of its two millions of inhabitants, in respect of other articles of necessity, convenience, or luxury, from which they are in like manner debarred, in a great measure, by the same übiquitous spirit of monopoly. Accounts from Madrid of the 23d state, that the two QUEENS, with the INFANTA, had arrived at Amanas on the 22d, and were to set out next day for Valencia. The Government were proceeding with the organisation of the cavalry, which was to be com posed of 18 regiments. The total effective strength will be 12,420 men and 10;584 horses. The Three per Cents. were done at 291 for cash, and 291 at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 201 at 60 days. The discussion in the French Chamber of Deputies on foreign affairs was continued on Wednesday. M. TIMERS spoke on that day, and made only a few re marks on the affair of Otaheite, in which he blamed the Ministry—first, for going there at all ; secondly, for not- foreseeing the difficulties Admiral. DUFETIT TuouAßs would have to encounter ; and, thirdly, for disavowing him. He then referred to the policy pur sued by the Cabinet with regard to the French at Monte-Video, where the forces of France were actu ally the auxiliaries of the ferocious ROSAS ; drew a parallel between the two Governments of Monte Video and Buenos Ayres; and presented the most frightful picture of the atrocities committed by Rosas. Most of the facts he mentioned had been supplied to him by M. BASELLA, the Envoy of the Montevideans to the. English Government, and might consequently be relied upon as true. Monte Video, on the contrary, was governed by a regular and humane Administration, which was favourably dis posed towards France. He blamed the French Consul at Monte Video for not asserting the rights of his countrymen, amounting to nearly eighteen thousand, and paid a high compliment to the English Commo dore PURVES, who had adopted a far different course. " When ORIBE," continued M. TIIIERS, " published the barbarous proclamation in which he declared that all strangers should be treated like the savage Uni tarians, the Commodore wrote to him that his pro clamation was worthy of a pirate of the coast of Bar bary, and summoned him to disavow it. ORIBE replied that the English were to be excepted; but this declaration did not satisfy the English officer, who insisted on the withdrawal of the proclamation, to which ORIBE acceded." (Here M. TRIERS was in terrupted by the Minister of Marine, who stated that it was Admiral Masson DE CLERVAL who had taken the initiative, and been the first to protest against ORIBE'S proclamation.) • "Yes," replied M. TRIERS, " but he did not protest in the name`of his Govern ment, and he did not sign' the protest." We find no thing else of the slightest interest in the discussion, with the exception of .the following remarks of M. GUIZOT, on the state of the French navy : "He observed that ever since 1840, the supplies of the Marine had progressively increased; that in 1839 they were under 60,000,000 ; that in 1840 they amounted to 72,000,000 ; in 1842, to 125,000,000 ; in 1843, to 125,000,000; and in 1844, to 111,000,000. As respected the armaments, the number of vessels in active Service; in 1838, was 198 ; in 1839,• 218 ; in 1840, 228 ; in 1841, 227 ; in 1842, 225 ; in 1843, 189 ; and 1844, 190. The sums expended in the mili tary and merchant harbours by the Ministry of Public Works, from• 1837 to 1843, exceeded 52,000,000; in 1842, 184.3, and 1844, the credits appropriated to the same object amounted to 22,000,000, besides 6,000,000 more expended in Algiers. Those facts sufficiently cleared the GoN;trnment, in his opinion, of the charge of neglecting the navy, and proved that the real interests of the navy and the naval forces of France had never received a more rapid and important ex tension than under his administration." The Journal des Debats, in a well written article, pays a high compliment to the memory of the late M. LAFFITTE. • "M. Laffitte (it says) had not wished for the Revolution of July, but he had the merit of accepting and inaugurating it at the moment it became necessary. It was to his pre ceding condUct--4o his acknowledged and tried moderation, that he was indebted for the honour, of being one of the first Summoned to restore order after the storm, to consolidate the work of the Revolution, and to :save it from its ex cesses.''.

SENTENCE ON MR. O'CONNELL AND THE OTHER TRAYERSERS. DUBLIN COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH . THURSDAY, MAY 30. At four o'clock this day sentence was pronounced by Mr. Justice Burton upon Mr. O'Connell and the other traversers. The sentence upon Mr. O'Connell was TWELVE MONTHS' IMPRISONMENT. and TWO THOU SAND POUNDS FINE. The sentence upon Mr. John O'Connell, Mr. C. G. Duffy, Mr. T. M. Ray, Dr. Gray, Mr. Richard Barrett, and Mr. Steele, was—nine months' imprisonment, and a fine offi fy pounds each. Mr. O'Connell was further ordered to give sureties to keep the peace for seven years, himself in 5,0001., and tw,o sureties in 2,500 L each. The other traversers for the same period to give securities in 1,0001. each, and two sureties for 500/. Sentence having been passed— Mr. O'Connell immediately rose, and said that he wished to remind the Court that he had made a solemn affidavit, declaring that he had never entered into a con spiracy with the other traversers, or committed the crime with ‘1 hich he was charged. He had now only to say it was his painful conviction that justice had not been done. A sudden and vociferous cheer from nearly all parts of the Court followed this result ; and although it was accompanied by the clapping of hands amongst the junior bar, and was two or three times repented, the jukiges did not interfere, although evidently displeased. ,The traversers were given into the custody of the sheriff of the city of Dublin, to be conveyed to the Rich mpnd Penitentiary, on the Circular-road. 'The following is a more detailed account of the pro ceedings, with a full report of the speech of Mr. Justice Burton on pronouncing sentence : One of the most extraordinary scenes that ever took place in a court of justice occurred this morning upon Mr. O'Con nell's appearance in Court. All parts of the Queen's Bench were crowded, and more closely filled than the place assigned to the junior members of the bar. These, with the exception oe a few, certainly not more than four or five, rose upon Mr. O'Connell's entrance, and commenced cheering and clapping hands for him. Mr. O'Connell appeared to be greatly sur pr.ised, and was evidently deeply affected by this unloeked for compliment. He repeatedly bowed to the members of the bar, who still continued applauding him, and persevered in doing so for several minutes, despite of the repeated warnings of the crier to preserve silence. 'lt is, we believe, the first time that a person called upon to receive the sentence of a Court of Law has been greeted by tlfe plaudits and cheered with the sympathy of the members of the bar. 'At the time this scene occurred, none of the Judges were on the Bench, nor any of the Crown or Queen's Counsel present. • From an'early hour in the day, all parts of the Court were tilled ; and amongst those present we observed occupying a seat amongst the Junior Counsel, the Right Hon. R. L. Shell, M.P., Sir V. Blake, M.P. By the side of the.Traversers sat Mr.. Smith O'Brien, M.P., and the distinguished Catholic pteacher, the Rev. Dr. Miley, the Earl of Cardigan, Mr. She ridan Knowles, and some members of the Lord Lieutenant's household were also in Court. • - !The first business of the day was the discussion of a motion on the part of the traversers that the Court should fix the One for the sentence to commence at such a period as might enable the traversers to have their writ of error determined by a superior tribunal. This motion was supported by Mr. Moore, Q.C., and Mr. Whiteside, Q.C. It was opposed by the Attorney-General and Solicitor-General. The COURT was unanimous in rejecting it. Upon that decision being announced, The. CHIEF Junius' said—Have you anything to move, Mr. Attorney -General ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL--I suppose the traversers are, in pursuance of the notice served on them last night, in attend ance ; and I move that sentence of the Court be pronounced on them. 'Mr. O'Connell, who had been on one side, speaking to his counsel, with difficulty made his way to the traversers' box, arid, on his entrance, all the bar rose. He was followed by the other traversers, and when their names had been seve rally called over, IMr. Justice BURTON, who seemed deeply affected, then ptoceeded to piss the sentence of the Court. So strong were his emotions, that his utterance became, at times, perfectly indistinct. The feelings of the Judge seemed to prevail over all who were present, and the scene was one in which the gteateit excitement appeared to be mingled with the strongest sympathy and the deepest solemnity. He commenced by observing that, in the present case, the traversers charged upon the in having, after a 'full, and indeed, he might add, reiterated discussion upon all the questions arising from it, been found guilty, and the Court having arrived at, and expressed, the opinion that they had been lawfully convicted of the offences imputed to them—the application made for the postponement of *the execution of sentence having been also heard, deliberated upon, and determined upon in support of the prosecution— the'proceedings were now brought to that stage, in 'which the sentence proper to the established offence and upon which the Court had deliberated, and had come to a careful conclu sion, was to be pronounced. It is now, then, said he, my very painful duty—very, very. painful, indeed, I feel' it to be— to state what that sentence is, and as the law has awarded it. The main offence imputed to the traversers is that of attempting the abolition or abrogation of the legisla tive union, as at present subsisting, by means of a conspiracy svihich is alleged by the indictment, and has been so found by the jury, as formed by them, with the intention to intimidate tie subjects of the Queen who are opposed to such a measure, and to diminish the respect due to courts of law, as well as_to intimidate both Houses of Parliament and the Government of the country, as it is at present constituted. That charge which, in the opinion of the jury had been truly and fully es blished, moreover stated that .the . traversers conspired to create intimidation; and among other means, by the demon stration of great physical force. I do not now mean to go into the examination of the questions of the case, or of the particulars, by which this offence of 'conspiring to create in timidatiOn has been carried to the conclusion at which it has now arrived; but' I have now to state that this offence, as it has been charged by the indictment, and found by the verdict ' of the jury,. is that of a very high misde meanor. 'A very slight degree of reflection, indeed, will he sufficient to show any person that, in truth, it is so. If consider' all the separate offences charged as component parts of the conspiracy are mainly dependent upon that which is its high offence—that is, the intent to. intimidate and excite and to overawe, and, as it has been par ticularly set forth, by terror and by the display of physical force. He here recapitulated the different parts of the charge contained in the indictment, and then remarked that all these offences are conducive to and 'component parts of the same crime charged in the indictment, and found by the jury, namely, a conspiracy to abolish the Legislative Union, by means of the intimidation caused to various branches and bodies of her Majesty's subjects. There were legal means' of effecting the object; it might be effected by legal means, that is, by an application to Parliament, and by the ecercise of the Queen's prerogative, but the attempt to abro gate it, by the means charged in the indictment, and as esta blished against the traversers, by the verdict of the jury, is highly criminal. The Court then has now to consider what must be the 'punishment awarded to a crime of this descrip tion, and uporfthe mere statement of the case, there can, I pre , even among persons the best • e , informedhe n d n i B e l t; e o n h e e subjects, e p e i / as to its constituting a very high misdemeanour. It is upon the establishment of that offence against the several traversers that sentence is now to lie pronounced. • The question has been under the considera tion of the Court as to what the sentence, under the circum stances, ought to be ; hot, I do not now mean to go into the consideration. 'of the full consequences of the commission of such an offence. The Court has felt itself bound to consider all the bearings, of this case, and they have formed their judgment accordingly. It is, then, now my duty—my painful duty—(his Lordship here paused for a moment) —in truth, I do find It to be a most distressing duty, to state what is the result Of th e consultation of the Court, and which is to affect the liberty of so many men—all of them, I believe —one, I am sure—who stands very high in public estimation; It is, I say, particu larly painful for me to state it with respect to one f these to Whose judgment as a lawyer, and as a highly informed man in a case of such a description as the present, I, myself, would look with the greatest reliance where others might be concerned—with respect, then, to him, the principal tra verser, as compared with the other traversers now at the bar, the Learned Gentleman himself, will, I am sure, agree with me in considering that he stands in a peculiar position. [There was here an audible murmur in all parts of the Court] They have shared in the offence, they have con curred with him in ..the cause he has adopted ; but they have, as the Court believe, concurred, in consideration of the high estimation in which they hold his superior talents and judgment, and he moreover. has accepted, acknowledged, and taken --upon himself the avowed condition of being their leader ; in this regard his case di ff ers disadvantageously from that of the other traversers.—(A movement in all parts of the Court.) But these considerations lessen what may be looked upon as the great guilt of their conduct, When it is considered how far they may have been drawn into the com mission ef it, but the estimation in which — Mr. J.'O'Connell, who with his father had been sitting on the front Queen counsel's seat, here started to his feet and said, " Pardon me, my Lord—." The sentence, however, remained unfinislasd, although its purport could not be mistaken— namely, to avow his full responsibility for the part _ ho had acted,, as being uninfluenced by any other than his own self convictions. His .father, however, affectionately laying his handon his shoulder, urged bins to resume his seat. This in cident, which was but of momentary d ura tion, added to the excitement that pervaded every portion of the Court. Mr. Justice BURTON proceeded to say—There is another gentleman also before the - Court;—l mean the son of the principal traverser—a gentleman of acknowledged talent, of great legal attainments, in high estimation, and with whom I am personally acquainted, and of whose general conduct I have a high opinion. In his case , a lso, the p rinci p al traverser will see circumstances strongly in . his favour from the near relationship in which he stands to wards him. There is one circumstance in this case which I cannot but state, and I cannot but state it with what—l was going to say—pleasure, but I can scarcely say I have a right to use such a word as that on the present occasion ; but in the situation in whi c h I am placed, I do think it right and just to state one thing as regards the principal traverser, and that is, that the conspiracy, or those conspiracies, with those intents or illegal means—illegal as I consider them to be to the full extent charged in the indictment —illegal as I con ceive them, to have been with respect to, the. dreadful effects they might, have had, and the very serious effects they certainly have had upon the condition of the subjects of this kingdom ; but s t i ll I feel that there was one circumstance. M all those things, . which I dp feel it to be my duty to observe upon, and that is this—the main proceeding, or proceedings, for the purpose of this perfectlyc a r r y n g establishedt - which b y t s i v l as e 6tloiediirogdesi,n, and as it has been inti midation to overawe the Queen's suobiljeliCtsjuorSrpl%o wasso d by to measure of a dissolution of the union, . and t o extend th eir intimidation so far, as to overawe the Legislature, A part of their means was to call together great , m ultitudinous meetings of the public—meetings which I belie ve g ot th e ap pellationof "monster meetings" from themselves, or from some otherg. Those meetings then were proceeded , with the avowed notion of sh ow in g the great power, the' great ence, the irresistible influence and pow er of those per sons, who put themselves under the command of the principal traverser. These meetings must necessarily have been at tended to the great terror of all the Queen s subjects in the neighbourhood in which the assemblages took place, and the Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office, from the governor of Gibraltar. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVEN'iI-, great authority, the unresisted, perhaps the irresistible autho rity of him who has been the leader, prevented any outrage or breach of the peace; and certainly, numerous as those Meetings had been such was the case. lam convinced that the principal traverser intended to carry his great object, the repeal of the Union, nit, I do not say, without violent means, nor without exciting terforg but without any infraction of the public peace, and without shedding a single drop of blood. Ido believe that the prin cipal traverser had this intention firmly in his mind, b.nd that it was the great influence and the great authority that he possessed with the parties who joined with him in his design that enabled him to do so—that enabled him to preserve the peace unbroken. But, then, let it never be forgotten that a man, with all the motives, and all the desires that could actuate a human being—that a person, who would no more do an act of violence, or least of all an act of bloodshed, nor do it himself no more than he would authorise another person—let it never be forgotten that a person possessing the authority, and having that design, can never tell nor know how long he can keep that, or keep the country, or the parts of the country over which he pre sides, or has influence, from the evils of rebellion and the shed ding of blood. It does not depend upon him, it cannot do so. Several passages in the speech of the principal traverser showed that this feeling, or something like it, was on his mind, when he made speeches for the purpose of putting down violence. He stated, over and over again, that it must take place, that it should take place, and that he would only remain their leader as long as they continued peaceable ; he said that repeal should be carried, and he added, that be hoped and trusted it would be carried without bloodshed, and he called upon them not to commit violence, for, if they did so, he would cease to be their leader ; th at during his lifetime there,should with his con sent be no violence, but that when he ceased to be their leader, either by his death, or finding it impossible to con trol them, they would then be left to themselves. All these expressions shewed how anxious was his desire by every means in his power to preserve peace ; and whether he ex pressed it or not, that was the effect of all he said and did. Under these circumstances, however deeply we must lament the misery of awarding exemplary punishment to such a per son, still there are circumstaeces to be taken into consideration—and that do not lessen the crime of conspiracy, as it was stated in the indictment, and found by the jury. All these constitute a high misdemeanor deserving a severe punishment. It is a high misdemeanor, most culpable, most dangerous— dangerous to an extent, I might say, approaching in its tendency to civil war. It, therefore, of necsssity, leads to severe and signal punishment. In according that punishment, the Court feels that however great the offence has been—however dangerous to the public welfare—however necessary the punishment to be inflicted—however considering that the crime could have led, and did lead, to convulsions of the public mind, the effects of which are yet to be seen—still the Court feels that it is not to be led away either by feelings of indignation, nor by any desire to inflict punishment for punishment's sake ' • but that it behoved us to bring our minds free and unbiassed from external influence to the subject. A crime has been committed which calls for exemplary.punish ment likely to prevent the same persons from committing the same offence again, and to deter others of the same views from the perpetration of similar acts. For myself, and I may, I think, add, all the Court—;l am sure that their minds have been brought into exactly the proper state to consider the case. We are bound to award punishment of an exemplary kind ; but, at the same time, determined not to suffer any opinion of our own as to the offence to guide us in the sentence, but strictly to examine and conclude upon the character of that offence. With these views the Court have come to the judgment now determined upon, and which I am about to pronounce. The Learned Judge here paused, burst into tears, and when he was able to resume, ut tered in almost inaudible tones, these words:-" With re spect to the principal traverser, the Court is of opinion that he must be sentenced to be imprisoned for the space of twelve calendar months, and that he is further to be fined in the sum of 2,oool.—(Loud cries of " Oh, oh" in various parts of the Court)—and bound in his own recognisances in the sum of 5,0001., and two sureties in 2,5001., to keep the peace for seven years. With respect to the other traversers, we have come to the conclusion that to each shall be allotted the same sentence; which is, that they, be imprisoned for the space of nine calendar months, each of them to pay 501. fine, and enter into their own recognisances of 1,0001., and two sureties of 5001., to keep the peace for seven ytars. After the lapse of a few moments, Mr. O'Connell rose, and leaning over the table towards the bench, thus addressed the Judges—l beg to remind your Lordships, that I made a solemn affidavit, denying for myself and on the part of the other traversers, 'that I had entered into any crime of conspiracy with them ; and it is now with great regret that I, have to express that I am under the • painful conviction that justice has not been done.—(Load cheers here broke forth from all parts of the Court. The Judges, but particularly the Chief Justice, looked around them as if utterly . confounded by this outburst of popular feeling. The cheering was continued for a few minutes, and, as it was about to subside, was again renewed in obedience to the call of " One cheer more." The Chief Justice looked eagerly to the gathering, as if desirous of identifying one of the disturbers. If such were his intention, he soon aban doned it,' for he flung himself back in his chair, where he re mained until the tumult had completely subsided.) A consultation took place in a low tone of voice between Mr. Justice Burton and Mr. O'Connell as to the place of con finement. They are, we understand, for Mr. O'Connell, the Richmond Penitentiary; for the 'other traversers the City Marshalsea, as being within the limits of the place wherethey were tried. „ At half-past four o'clock, when our reporter left. the Court, Mr. O'Connell was in the custody of the High Sheriff for the city. He was still within the walls of the Court, in which there were large bodies of the police. All sides of the Court —all the approaches to it—were invested by a large multi tude. The greatest excitement prevailed in all parts of Dub lin, but no apprehension was entertained as to any violation of the public peace. A proclamation had been universally circulated in all parts of Dublin ; it was published by order of Mr. O'Connell, and was an exposition in the strongest language to ” peace and qUietness."— Chronicle. The following address to the people of Ireland, from Mr. O'Connell, was published and posted through the city this morning, in anticipation of sentence being passed in the course of the day " PEACE AND QUIET. " People of Ireland—Fellow-Countrymen—Beloved Feb low-Countrymen—The sentence is passed. But there is an appeal from that sentence. " The appeal lies to the House of Lords. " I solemnly pledge myself to bring an appeal against that sentence, and I assure you there is every prospect that it will be reversed. _ • "Peace, then, and quiet. Let there be not one particle of riot, tumult, or violence. " This is the crisis in which it will be shown whether the people of Ireland will obey me or not. " Any person who violates the law, or is guilty of any vio lence, insult, or injury to person or property, violates my command, and shows himself an enemy to me and a bitter enemy to Ireland. ' " The people of Ireland—the sober, steady, honest, religious people of Ireland—have hitherto obeyed my commands, and kept quiet. " Let every man stay at home. Let the women and chil dren stay at home. Do not 'crowd the streets, and, in parti cular, let no man approach the precincts of the Four Courts. " Now, people of Dublin, and people of Ireland generally, I shall know, and the world will know, whether you love and respect me or not. Show your love and regard for me, by your obedience to the law—your peaceable conduct—and the total avoidance of any riot or violence. "PEACE, ORDER, QUIET, TRANQUILLITY. " Preserve the peace, and the Repeal cause will necessarily be triumphant. " Peace and quiet I ask for in my name, and as you re gard me. " Peace and quiet I ask for in the name of Ireland, and as you love your native land. " Peace—quiet—order, I call for under the solemn sanction of religion. I conjure you to observe quiet, and I ask it in the adorable name of the ever living God. " Gratify me and your friends, by your being quiet and peaceable. " The enemies of Ireland would be delighted at your vio lating the peace, or being guilty of any disorder. " Disappoint them—gratify and delight -by peace,. order, and quiet, your ever faithful friend, DANIEL 'O'CONNELL. 4 Corn Exchange Rooms, 30th May, 1844." CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

Our readers will recollect that this matter, which was men tioned yesterday, was ordered to stand over till this morning. Upon the case being called on, Mr. BETHELL, who appeared as counsel for the committee of the person a the lunatic, Mrs. Dyce Sombre, stated that his client, considered it was necessary and right before the petition was heard, that the medical gentlemen who had given evidence before the Commissioner, should have a fur ther opportunity of seeing Mr. Dyce SOmbre. Mr. WALPOLE, who was counsel together with Sir Thomas Wilde and Mr. Wakefield for Mr. Dyce Sombre, could not in the absence of his leaders give any undertaking, and if any application was to be 'made he must request the Court to allow it to stand over. _ _ _ Some considerable diScussion then took place, after which it was finally arranged that the hearing of the petitioner should peremptorily take place on the first day the Court sat atter the end of the present term. The Loan CHANCELLOR ordered that, in the meantime, every requisite accommodation and comfort should be afforded to Mr. I)yce Sombre. IN THE MATTER OF THE PRINCESS 13ARIATTNIJKL A LUNATIC' This matter was ordered to stand over, for the purpose of seeing whether some arrangement could not be made to place the unfortunate individual, the subject of the Commission, in a private asylum. The COURT then proceeded with the other lunatic petitions in the paper. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) The Court took the special paper to-day, and was engaged the whole morning in hearing arguments relating solely to mere technical points of practice. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Mary Anne Smith was charged before Mr. Jardine with stealing two sheets, two pillow-cases, and divers other arti cles, the property of John Murphy. The prisoner lodged in the house of the prosecutor, and the articles in question were missed from her room. It was, however, found impossible to trace the articles, as, upon in quirv, it was discovered that almost every pawnbroker in London held pledges from persons of the name of Smith. In the course of the search, it was discovered that some pawn brokers held as many as 500 pledges in the name of Smith. Under these circumstances, it was found impossible to bring the charge home to the prisoner, and she was accordingly dis charged. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) A cabman, badge 189, was charged by his employer, Mrs. Penevint,. a cab-owner, residing in Silver-street, Bloomsbury, with the following outrageous conduct : It appeared, from the evidence, that the prisoner had not been more than a few days in Mrs. Penevint's employ ment when he was sent out with a chaise. He left the yard with the chaise at eleven o'clock yesterday morning, and nothing was heard of him until nine o'clock last night, when the complainant waS informed that the prisoner was drunk in a public-house. She inimediately dispatched Lea Pigeon, lier stableman, to bring home the cab and horse, but when the messenger arrived neither cabman or vehicle were any where to be found. At three o'clock this morning the pri soner came home, in a beastly state of intoxication, without either cab or horse. Mrs. Penevint asked him where they were, but the fellow said he knew nothing whatever about them. He was leaving the yard when Mrs. l'eneviut gave him into custody. About an hour afterwards three strange *len brought home the - cab - and horseovhich they had found in Charlotte-street, Bloomsbury, without guidance. The prisoner said that he had bean very sick, and was not drunk.
