Yet the Attorney-General calls on you to assume, tinter, and presume, that he was a member of the Associa lf the object of the Cro n was to arrive at the truth, !, was their bounciest duty t,o produce this seditious vender of Infamous publications. Do %'ou think that Mr. Kemmis. ine respectable Sn%eitor for thb;Crown, than whom no man dis !barges his duty more faithfully and more respectably, re not instructed as to:. who he was and what he was ? d Y, I again repeat, was not this vender of sedition pro- , n eed? He could have told us whether he was t, Member of this Aianciatio_,n or from what old iah 3 r3! he drew his accannt. But my learned, acute, L , v e er friends, perfectly understood their business. one knows that evett'at the assizes such songs and ~epublicationsr were sold by wren! paupers at the corners of street s . He knew that Attorney-General would not hate suggeted any course that should have the effect of making the traversers fall. into a trap, or one by which they I ° lli be compelled to e:all a witness, of whom the traversers _e_ew nothing, and V whom the Crown might possibly know rich- Such an imputation was utterly unworthy of them, and he should only tie brought to think so if he should hear the At elpeY-Gene..eal say, in his reply, that the traversers ought to . 1) 1 a , witness this vender of sedition. Mr. Moore had y u r id vod to the m on the principles on which a British jury decide. We can all understand that 3.n indictment for seira c y m i g ht b e j us tifi a bl e , or t h e on ly p roce eding by waieh individuals could be putaished in certain cases. In reeeeding against private ir,dividuals for doing a private o n T r ,,eg, it might be necessary toindict persons for a conspiracy. Persons might conspire to rob a man of his property, and iu sech a ease the concert o,f their acts might be taken as the St y evidence of their conspiracy. Men might be charged Ith offences of another character, and an indictment for con- Ziraey might here too, be the only remedy. But the law of e Constitution 1001-,,ed with jealousy on the doctrine of con spiracy being resorted to as a political instrument in a State pro secution ; and I again repeat that it becomes a still more oh '4lous procee' n ,ing—one to be discarded and scouted from a t:tirt of justice, when an indictment is founded on three bun f re n d seParP:ce acts ; the Learned Gentlemen then cited the case "aur - st Hunt before referred to. It was an indictment against, hunt and nine others, on several counts, for a con tote lreite discontent, disaffection, and hatred of the co law among '3 nlajesty's subjects. De CHIEF JUSTICE—Where is the case cited from? fa +or HATcnELL—From Barnewall and Alderson 536. The u nlawful count of that indictment was for their attending an assembly. It is stated, that bodies of persons at :T'ding the meeting at Manchester appeared in military bOY, m with the step and Movement of a military march. 1, ight perhaps, accOunt for the anxiety of some ft, the witnesses to prove the military characteo of 54 rocesions to some Of the meetings ; it was °rd p er to s bring them within the es principle of this count t 4 ainst Dir. H un t and his companions. The result of this 4 4 ' 1 ;was, that five were convicted and five were acquitted, a irgb the object of the Crown was to get them convicted of the conspiracy. How did they es e the meshes, of the net ? Because the jury it for gra•ated that the conduct of the five Znvicted men our . ,ht to be visited on themselves alone ; and were not satisfied that any precoaceived plan of conspi in' was proved out of subsequent transactions ; and these I t i e were convieited. not for conspiracy, but for assembling an Ili a"etnbl'i., The jury repudiated, as dangerous to the th t 'gtitution, %his indicting for con piracy. Then why was t!" not a count in this indictment against the traversers attenc'.in ,, an illegal meeting? Gentlemen, the case is tither " neck or nothing" for the Crown ; it wants a convic t -4 7 ?or a conspiracy, and tht , refore it would not insert a count t c,. ) r act ending an unlawful assembly; it thought that if you had t" a.'ternative you would .Pnly find those guilty under that of who did attend soch meetings, and acquit them the charge of conspiring. , There is another case which taws the same spirit in a d3ritish jury. It was tha t of the ifusen V. Drinkwater, and others, reported iu Carring ton and a Yrie- This, too, was a conspiracy to disturb the peace, and creat e discontentand disaffection; the jury rejscted the counts 4 COnsplr?.ey ; yet, at the meetings in this case, the people i; e re told, any individual should dareo interfee with you, ri ' e ak. his 'head. a " How different was the conduct at all the t th e 'tings held by the traversers. A Mr. Vincent made use of !,); ft,llowing words :—" To your tents, 0 Irael." It was not le him to put any construction upon these words. They some to be a favourite quotation, and were mentioned by Mr. si o I as having been used. In another speech, on another occa thnsl4.lr. Vincent also said, " One heart and one blow, death to b:Privileged orders, and up with the Government which the V, i °l.4 have established." This was the language then ?I'e the jury, yet they were not of opinion that the acts 1 1,,1ue accused were to be attributed to any preconceived , e 7 1, - er conspiracy, but arose at the moment out of the pro -4d 'ngs of the meeting. They believed that the meeting ; they acquitted them of the conspiracy, and r them guilty of only attending the unlawful assembly. Il k ,, ° '" , come back to Mr. Hay, and on his part I state tb ; 'All on you to go with me, that there is ne act of con yraeY to be attributed to him in any part of this charge. lt object was a legitimate object; and, independently of at, Ale. Ray attended the meetings at the Corn Exchange 1, 3 the secretary of the Association ; and I call on yon, as tLanurable men, to say whether you can reconcile it to your ir.,,r i enee., or say on your oaths, whether in what he said, or ,;." , e character in which he appeared,there was anything of the -l ainal intention ascribed to him in the indictment. He would tt), have dist.harged the duty he owed to himself and to his itt antry_h e would not have asserted the principles he avowed 4: l so e e n.te . rte:tried;rior have fulfilled his duty as . the ,ervant of the be tatir,s e had he acted otherwise. All this must, therefore, str taken into consideration in finding sour verdict, and that dtet I trust, will be one of acquittal for my client. T s et ~!'e ' Court was about to adjourn for a few moments for re xrnent, when v o :' .4r * FITz attinoN rose, and in a faint and scarcely audible t ire, appliQd, as we understood, for the indulgence of the Court tb a , t4 ;inorrow, on the ground of indisposition. He also said, e r , r ` a case of such magnitude, though he knew the jury • anxious to attend, yet if they were called on in such !Ni e l th succeision to hear the views of so many persons e same d• •it m ight not be contributive to the ends Justice. Arlie Ct,l Qg JUSTICE said he felt greatunwillingness to press t46' t:tlzgitsbon to go on; lie had observed that he had been ri al, "Itc under a seiere cold during a greater part of this The Cou r t all f e lt that no undue time had been taken bythe , t he several gentlemen who had addressed the Court and JerY. neither of whom could complain of the conduct of coon el . This was an additional reason why Mr. Fitzgibbon's be tribegirthis address to-morrow, instead of to-day, should r conceded. The Court would, therefore, adjourn till ee-morrow. The ATrORNEY-GENERAL said he would not for a moment *tress Mr. Fitzgibbon to go on, but Mr. Whiteside and Mr. `Donough still had to address the Court, and he thought one tf them might go on. One of the traversers, be understood, 'tvas to a (dress the Court himself. lie admitted that tl.e illness ‘ , l Mr. Fitzgibbon was quite a sufficient reason for his not ad 'aressing the jury, but he thought it might be desirable that one of the other gentlemen should do so. llr. FITZGIBBON said the Court had been kind enough to dze his i n di spos iti on into consideration as one of the ingre nts of its decision. But he did not found his application Upon. that. If they forced him to go on he would be prepared, 1 1 . , t 'd if there were no other reasons butis onal convenien "houlit them not to make their rule merely ce, upon that. h ay u dge PAT itzoN—l suppose the counsel for the traversers e "'lade some arrangement as to the order in which they er e to si,eak. O'CoNNELL—They have ; there has been a certain dis ""en. of forces on this occasion, and another counsel mus substituted now. Ci i . f rst JUSTICE—I suppose so. He will then do as I stated at T he traverser'. and their counsel then quitted the Court. whi , (11 sat afterwards to dispose of motions. REPEAL ASSOCIATION.

John O'Connell sought permission of the Court to explain, m a'eferen ee to what had fallen from his distinguished counsel 'Aturday, that nothing on earth could induce him to become he ei manner a party to any compromise of repeal. He said th is t it a personal duty to prevent any misunderstanding on in t e n _ int, as he never would consent to anything which could, e least degree, compromise the inalienable right of Ireland i do mestic and national legislation.—(Cheers.) hate, SMITH O'BRIEN rose, amidst loud cheering and waving g o e address the meeting. He said, as no notice of his loat Miens had been given, he deemed it necessary to put the ti o , ti ng in possession of them, especially as the Tipperary elec. th :as so near at hand. The resolutions were then read by e 1- ,° ll . Gentleman, as follows : N ' rtesolved, that inasmuch as it will greatly conduce to the p tai ess of our national cause, if candidates favourable to a Re -I.ll— o f the Union be relieved from all exin uses connected with telections, and as, in the present state of the law relative st ° r o PberYs the choice of the erectors may be defeated by th e st ,a test expenditure on the part of the candidates in provid it for voters or in conveying them to the poll ; j il l,tt , e e arnestly recommended by the Repeal Association that, eventof a contest for any county, city, or town, the se u i vr r e e l prishes should send their voters to the poll free of all Vi direct or indirect, to the candidate chosen by the to ui.hold the cause of our country.

Gentleman said he congratulated the meeting on pe nt , l 'te posecutions, which afforded the Irish people the op etpery of putting on record the wrongs which caused the Innvernent. Those prosecutions had rallied around •the true friends of freedom of discussion.

Resolutions exactly suc h were passed by the peo le of Limerick, and it was by U e xertions that the people of Ireland would obtain a triumph. Very little goe!cion had, he should say, been made by the people tif.

What the-judges have to say-is, whether 'such- a-con spiracy is lawful, - and upon this point there can be really no second opinion; and what the jurors have to find is, whether Mr. Daniel O'Connell, Mr. John O'Connell, Messrs.Tierney,Steele,Barrett, Duffy,Ray; and Doctor Gray, or any of them, has had a part in it. In this:narrow compass-lies the whole question— tedious as the'proceedings have necessarily been, and copious asthave been the dissertations of our con temporarieo upon those proceedings. We know not whether it4r worth the while to remark here that Mr. Sheil is in error . in saying that all the parties so disgracefully prosecuted for conspiracy in 1823 were acquitted. Of the seven accused one cnly (Mr. 13rownlow) was acquitted, and against him no evi dence whatever had been adduced. As to the other six, the jury disagreed, notwithstanding the Attorney-General (Lord Piunket) had set aside thirty of the panel—all Protestants by the way, and some of them among the most respectable merchants and citizens of Dublin notwith standing, too, that the traversers had not challenged one man, Protestant or Roman Catholic. At the conclusion of the affair the jury were dis charged, but the traxersers were held to bail to be tried at the succeeding term ; and tried they would have been had not Lord Plunket been called on in the House of Commons, by the late excellent Lord Farnham, to answer for his conduct in the matter. And now, as our Whig Contemporaries have a fancy for Irish politics, we invite their attention to the resolutions agreed to by the dismal remnant of the Irish Whigs, at their late meeting at Charlemont House, Dublin. They have hitherto obserted a re markable silence with reference to this document. We could wish to say a few words about it, but though we made it public (exclusively) two or three days ago;.etiquette requires that the Whig friends of the party from whom it proceeds should do the formal honours of an introduction to-the notice of the Eng lish people. Let it be remembered, that in this dreary manifesto the Irish 11 - higs say all that they have to say. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) The advance in the price of Cotton in Liverpool, con sequent upon the latest advices from the United States— amounting to fully *d.—has had its effect upon our mar ket here. As might be expected, as the result of this con I I - firmed excitement in the Liverpool market, ours yes terday was a little unsettled. There was no lack of orders offering, but the speculative rise in cotton ap pears to some extent to have arrest, d their acceptance. In yarns there was a little more disposition to purchase manifested by the shippers, and prices may be said to be from d. to id. per pound higher. Yarns for home consumption were also in good demand, and higher prices were obtained. In goods, a fair business was done at the highest prices of last week. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JAL 29. — There has been a rather busy market to-day, yet there have not been so many pieces sold as might have been expected 'from the numerous attendance of buyers. The manufacturers have stood out for an advance of prices, and many have obtained a little more for their goods, but nothing in proportion to the advance of wqol. The demand for wool still continues good, and prices firm. MARKET INTELLI GENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Jan. 30.)

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 whet 1-gal 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 ;quiescenee.--(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 revel rent. He bad 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 acclaniation. Several sums of money were then handed in, amounting to upwards of 20/. Mr. Du rssre 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'CoNNELL—Hurra for repeal. Mr. JoHN OTOKNELL 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 legislatiie independence of their native land.—( Cheers. ) The Rev. T. o . M,annev 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 Hon. 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 Act 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.) '1 he 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 dame years—a plan which he had no hesita tion in denouncing as a clumsy mode of satisfying the wants and witheeof the Irish people. He could not see that a passage from one country to the ether 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. WILLI/km, 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'BeieN gave notice of a motion for the appoint ment of a committee to watch ever the proceedings of Members of Parliament. Mr. O'CoNtmLL 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 lie hoped those who were duped would take every measure to bring the perpetrators of the fraud before the magistrates. The CHAIKMAN handed in a pound, as the subscription for the year 1644 of the Rev. 31r. 31eara, P.P., of Toomevara, in the county of Tipperary. Mr. O'Co NELL had great pleasure in proposing 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 "Bh.ck 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. Ild., after which Sir Valentine Blake, Bart., M. P., took the chair, and the meeting adjourned to :llonday neat. 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 Gvernmeut 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, turns 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, against O'Connell 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 by professions 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 wrung 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 proceedings7—the unfair ness of the pan9l—and the ludier, us absurdities of the Crown witnesses. Come out of it what will, the Admi 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 preset a cipious, and, at. the same time, interesting account of the 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 been for years, and is new, honoured 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, 111 r. Sheil, Sir C. O'Loghlin, the Attorney- General, and other leading Counsel; together with the Summing up of the Judge, the Vet diet 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 Rill 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 and 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 500 pages. THE DISPATCH 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, 139, Fleet street, where orders are also received. THE SECRET PASSION.—The author of " Shalt. 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. CARDIFF.—RATTIER 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 !anions pony to convey him in haste to the place of appointment. He arrived at an inn on the road not 10 0 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 his 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 m i n us saddle and bridle! 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 11 - wthwith 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 fur his pony, and had been on her back, m the idea of riding home quite c omfortably, while she was quie tl y eating ppius 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 pea led around, on discovering . the gentleman's queer mistake.-211onniouth n.

SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—The proceedings were resumed on Monday morning. On the Judges taking their seats, and the members of the .jury answering to their names, Mr. John O'Connell requested to make an ob servation on a remark of Mr. Sheil, in his address to the jury, which, if not explained, might compromise his reputation, by seeming to impugn his consistency. That considerable " sensation" should be caused among those who heard the declaration—made in such a place, and under circumstances such as those in which the declarant stood;—can' be easily imagined. As an abstract question, the repeal of the legislative union may be held, and even discussed, without exposing the person who holds and asserts it to the penalties of the law. The point in issue between the Crown and the traversers is, whether the means by which they have sought to effect their object have been such as the law allows, or such as bring them within its penalties. This is the question to which the attention of the jury must be confined ; because it is the ques tion on which they are sworn to return a ver dict of "guilty," or " not -guilty," respecting each of the traversers. Mr. John O'Connell might, there fore, safely make the declaration which he did with out perilling his individual case ; and, if he considered that declaration due to his consistency, he did right to repudiate the idea which his counsel suggested, as a mode by which the Repeal question might be compro mised, but in which he (the defendant) could not concur. The adjournment of the Court on Saturday at the close of Mr. Shell's speech, was an act of considerate justice on the part of the Judges to Mr. Moore, who would otherwise have had to address the jury far his client (the Rev. Mr. Tierney) under manifest disad vantages. During the protracted trial of Warren Hastings, a similar testimony was borne to the powers of Sheridan, then in the meridian of his fame. At the close of Mr. Sheridan's mightiest effort within the walls of Parliament—the speech with which he opened the fourth charge against the impeached party—Mr. Pitt moved an adjournment ; observ ino• " The wand of the enchanter is upon us ; it is in vain to attempt an application of the judgment to the charge before us, while under the imme diate influence of the fascinating power to which we have been subject Al." Read in connexion with Mr. Sheil's speech, that of Mr. Moore, as an orato rical effusion, will fail to excite the same feelings of delight. As the close reasoning of a lawyer, whose duty it was to examine each count of the indict ment, and to show how futile had been the efforts of the Crown lawyers to sustain those counts by the evidence they had adduced, Mr. Moore's speech is deserving of no ordinary praise, and will, we doubt not, be highly appreciated by the bar, and be carefully scanned by the jury. It cannot be too frequently brought before the mind of the public, in order to show how utterly the evidence brought forward has failed to sustain the indictment, that the indictment charges " conspiracy," and this alone, against the parties. Failing to establish " con spiracy,' the indictment is at an end. There is no count for attending unlawful assemblies. The Attorney-General has not ventured to take issue on the question, whether the meetings of the Asso ciation were, in the legal sense of the term, unlaw ful assemblies. There is no count for sedition. But extracts from speeches are set forth which are by and which ,hich forcible constructive exposure alleged to be seditious, in order to sustain the charge of conspiracy. thefbrmof the Mr.Moores prosecution, clear evidence on such a charge i§ sought to be substituted for direct testimony, deserves the careful considt-ra tion of every man capable of understanding a legal argument expressed in popular language; as we hope and believe it will have from the jury, on whose verdict the case will be decided. Mr. Hatchell's address to the jury in behalf of Mr. Ray, the Secretary of the Repeal Association, was short, considering the length of the speeches which had preceded it. It occupied only two hours. The skill with which Mr. Hatchell dissected the testimony of certain of the Crown witnesses, and exposed the crepancy of their respective statements—the susias ; cion which he cast over the whole case for the proso - by the refusal, on the part of the Crown, - Jo• adduce evidence which was within their contrdl, and essential to their case, from a"fear lest the ad missions of facts, or contradictions of the witnesses they did call in, in certain statements they had made, were fine specimens of forensic power, and opened up a new difficulty to the Solicitor-General in his reply. The copious reference made to State trials in this country at different periods, and his application of the doctrine held by English Judges on those occasions to the case then under trial, showed how laboriously Mr. Hatchell had prepared himself for his undertaking, and will, doubtless, convince even the exclusive jury which the Attorney-General has obtained, that they must be more determined to con vict the Repeal leaders than to return a verdict in consistency with the Constitution, if they bring in a verdict of guilty, on the indictment before the Court. STAN D.A.RD.-1 he speeches of Mr. Moore and Mr. Hatchell, at the Dublin State trials, do not call for any particular observation. We do not say this in any. disrespectful sense, for both the addresses were able and lawyer-like; but, unlike Mr. Sheil's, they adhered so closely to the subject matter of the charge, that to pronounce an opinion of the degree of success of either would be to trespass beyond those limits to which a considera tion of what is "due to the administration of justice confines us, until the verdict shall have been de livered. The not inopportune illness of Mr. Fitz gibbon on Monday, abridged that day's proceedings to the extent of enabling Mr. O'Connell to take his place at the meeting of the Repeal AsssoCiation, where he suggested a badge or uniform, to be worn by Repealers. This is, perhaps, to be a practical proof of the defence mainly relied upon by . Mr. Moore and Mr. Hatchell, within a few hours before, namely, the absence of union and concert among the Re pealers. In regard to the trials the Whig journals in England go to lengths far beyond what even the retained advocates of the traversers have as yet ventured. If we understand them rightly, there can he no such thing as a political conspiracy, no such crime as sedition—a line of defence which, perhaps, they may safely take, because they are not responsible to courts, or juries, or to any authority save common sense ; but which it would be desperate folly to offer upon an actual trial. Every book on Crown law tells us that there is such an offence as political conspiracy, and reason demonstrates that it may be the highest public offence short of high treason, and separated from that highest of all crimes by a very narrow and uncertain boundary. . The practice of the late Government abundantly proved their sense of the existence of such a crime ; and we find the very first of Whig law authorities, the late Lord Erskine, thus de scribing it, and showing the perfect compatibility of the punishment of the offence with even his most liberal notions of the sovereignty of the people; we quote from his Lordship's celebrated speech upon Hardy's trial, where he - recites the law, as laid down by the Lord Chief Baron Macdonald. " The question is not what the people have a right to do—for the people are undoubtedly the foundation and origin of all governments—but the charge is for seditiously calling upon the people, without cause or reason, to exercise a right which would be sedition, supposing the right to be in them. For though the people might have a right to do the thing suggested, and though they are not excited to the doing it by force and rebellion, yet as the sugges tion goes to unsettle the State, the propagation of such doctrines is seditious. There is no. other way un doubtedly of describing that charge." This quota tion meets the whole case of sedition and of sedi tious conspiracy, and it derives additional force from the liberal opinions of Lord .Erskine, and from the occasion on which it was delivered. We sifts:mit it to the serious attention of our Con temporaries, who deny the possible existence of political conspiracy as an illegal offence, and affect to treat the punishment of such conspiracy as an invasion of the primary right of freemen. Lord Erskine plainly thought that .there is such an offence as political conspiracy, and that it may be prosecuted and punished, leaving altogether unim paired " the sovereignty of the people," of which he was the ardent votary. In other respects the de fence set up by the Whig journals is foolish ; for while they admit what, indeed, it -would be absurd to deny, the convergence of the whole repeal agitation to one object—namely, the repeal of ' the union and to one central authority, the organised Repeal Association, they affect to exa mine the practical proofs of a concerted design " to unsettle the State," by a combined movement, as if each•of these practical proofs ended as it were in itself : just as if, upon on indictment for riot, to which three persons are necessary to constitute the offence, John should insist upon being tried without reference to the acts of James and Peter, indicted with him, or even "without reference to the existence of such persons in rerum naturee. In all cases, however, of riot, riotous assembly, conspi racy, &c., it is the number and the community of purpose which makes the gravamen of the charge; these proved, the acts of each individul become the acts of all. After all that we have written for the last three or four years, it would be a ridiculous prudery on our part to affect to conceal our con viction that the repeal agitation has been carried on by an all but treasonable conspiracy, if, indeed, the conspiracy has not been absolutely an act of high treason. The only question which we are not at liberty to touch, because the only question upon which thz: to, have to decia, i.; the:conne.aioii and the degree of connexion of the several traversers' with that conspiracy, the character and extent of IRELAND. THE STATE TRIALS. FOURTEENTH DAY. (BY EXPRESS.) (FROM OUR OWN REPORTERS.) DUBLIN, TUESDAY, JAN. 30. SUMMARY.. of the STATE TRIALS. At the opening of the Court this morning, Mr. FITZGIBBON commenced his address, as Counsel for Dr. GRAY. He said that the doctrine of con spiracy, as laid down by the Attorney-General, was, th,at it Was 'a combination of two or more persons to do an illegal 'act, or to do a lawful act by unlawful means. He- denied the correctness of the doctrine. ®hat Proposition had been, laid down by Lord DEN MAN; in a case which Occurred in 1832, and had been repeated byl•the same Learned Lord in a case in 1834. But it was a mere dictum and not a decision ; and in 1839 when it was cited before Lord DENMAN himself, his Lordship said he did not think it a correct proposition, In the cass of the King v. Forbes, better known as the bottle riot case, Chief Justice BusHE had laid down a similar doctrine to that of Lord DENMAN. and it was to be found in East's Pleas of the Crown. But however good a text writer EAST was, he denied that he was to be considered a good legal authori y. They had looked in COKE and all the old autho rities oil the subject, without being able to dis cover ..-any .such. doctrine. With respect to the' two eases cited by the Attorney-General in support-of the doctrine above quoted—viz., the King v. Watson, Howel's State Trials, vol. 22, and the case, of the King v. Murphy, Bth Carrington and Payne, which latter case Mr. 4 - slice COLERIDGE had laid down the doctrine of conspiracy adopted by the ATTORNEY-GENE RAL.: He submitted that they did not apply in the present instance at all. The former case was one of high treason, and could not be cited as similar to the present, which was one of misdemeanor, and therefore Mr. Justice BAYLEY'S decision on it must not be considered valid. In the case of the King v. *Murphy, though the doctrine laid down -by the Attorney -General was applicable to the facts there, it was by no means so to the facts in the present case. The Learned Gentleman de nied that there was any case of conspi racy established. The people were peaceable, and orderly. They were not drilled, and ordered to advance and retire, as they were in Eng land. The people met in large numbers, but it was by such means that redress of, grievances was always - obtained. The Learned Gentleman then re ferred to the means adopted by the mailed Barons of England when the great charter of Bngland's liberties was wrested from King JonN, and to the attitude assumed lbr the people at the time of the Clare election The Learned Gentleman then referred, in very strong language; to the conduct of the Attorney-General , with - regard to the prosecutions. lle did not object' to his doing his'duty, but he ought to do_ so in a manly and straightforward man ner, - - and not have- stated - the law incor rectly- to obtain the conviction of a brother barrister, and who bad been an ornament to his pro fession fur many years. He concurred with the Attorney-General that this was a mo mentous case—momentous to the Attorney-General, and the party with which he - was connected. It would' afford that party a scourge to repress the people, from giving expression to their feelings and opinions, but he trusted the Court and -jury would interpose to pre vent them from obtaining that power. The • juries of England. had always saved the liberties of the people when they were sought to be crushed by chargeslike the present. The last case of this kind was the charge of the constructive treason brought against TOOKE arid HARDY, but an English jury three times brou g ht in a verdict of not guilty. Mr. FITZGIBBON was still addressing th e j ur y when our express left. -EXTB.APRDINARY SCENE IN THE QUEEN'S BENCH, DUBLIN. During the course of this day's proceedings, Mr. Fitzgibbon stated that the Attorney-General had called upon to retract certain expressions, and if he did mot do so, to name a friend.- GUIZQT AND THE CARLISTS. — We copy from the correspondence of an Evening Contemporary the following just remarks on the scene which- took place in the French Chamber on Friday :—" The Legitimatists, driven into a corner, turned upon M. Guizot personally, and were joined by the Republicans of the extreme Left. Thus was presented the spec tacleOf unprincipled immorality in parties, combined with Je suitism in religion. They attempted to beat down M. Guizot's voice ; to overwhelm, to exhaust him ; they bawled, barked, menaced, browbeat, and interrupted—but they were nobly punished. M. Guizot rehearsed, in brief terms, a con sistent life; and when he challenged contradiction, the barkers and brawlers held their peace. " You may," exclaimed • the great orator, " heap calumnies upon calumnies; but, you will never bring .them up to the height of •my disdain." Never was there such a triumph, • even for Guizot—never was there such humiliation even for the Left—never did the unnatural combination of infidelity with priestcraft look so . disgusting, and hateful. Guizot rose above his .opponents. lie rose above himself. He . proved that he was as ready for the everyday work of debate as for carefully meditated discussion—an adversary not to lie takedunawares, and, when assailed, not to be ex cited except by an unmanly effort to beat him down by physical violence; aad then ' only 'to Shot• how feeble acid pitiable. are _vulgar mob weapons against genius armed with truth and honour."

CLIFFORD, Acting G. C. LAW. INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEENS BENCH, Jun. 30. (Sittings in Banco.) DOS %NQUEX 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 hi 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 Court granted the application. INFORMATION.—THE QUEEN V. lIAMPDEN. In this case a rule nisi had been obtained for a criminal information against the defendant, under the following cir cumstances. 111 r. Evton, 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. Eyton's portrait, and had, with Mr. Eyton's permission, exhibited it at the News-rooms, as a specimen of his talents. Shortly afterwards Mr. Iteeves, 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 suffered himself publicly to be called a liar and coward. Mr. 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 Dk:N.likN--Where.the question is one of simple fact, and that fact is distinctly denied, the Court, I believe, never interferes by criminal int'ormation. It is a matter to go to a grand jury. Mr. KELLY, in suppport of the rule., argued that notwith standing a denial of a fact by the party accused, vet the Court could interfere if the case were one in which there was , strong probability that the charge was true. Lord DENst.tx said that in such a case the Court might poSsiblv interfere, but in the present case the matter was of to 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. MI (Sittings in Banco.) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. CLARKE. Mr. JEnvis (with whom. was Mr. Erie and Mr. Wylde) moved for a rule to call upon the Attorney-General to show 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 less 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 verdict 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, exa 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 date 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 thrthwith stamped by him in red ink, "Examined." with a stamp, to bo furnished for that purpose, having the niune 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 ha- 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 saying that they are not attended to in their proper turns, &c. This will be remedied by the new regulations, which are extended to, and 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 suggest, that their object would be • 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 fcr this country, as on the arrival of the vessel, • the packages are taken out in rotation, .hoisted into the ex- amining floor, ticketed as stated above, and delivered to the owners accordingly. le, • • BOULOGNE AND CALAIS.--During the week end ing the 26th inst., the number of persons who embarked or - diemba!ked from and for England were—At Boulogne, 624; at . Calais, 234—total, 858. The proprietors of the D over ' Railway have, during the last week, entered into an arrange ment with the authorities, by which travellers coming 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 com pelled to wait some hours for the passage of parc els and goods through the Custom -house. The charge for this addi tional accommodation is Is. per parcel above the weight of 56 lb. and for smaller parcels Gd. each. We understand that on Saturday, the operative cottOn-spioners of this city and neighbourhood gave, pretty generally, a notice of a demand for an advance of 10 per - cent on their wages. It - is uncertain whether the deniand ;will be complied with ; but if not a turn-out is extremely probable.—Glasgow Argus of itiOnday. -.~. V ~:r~ k~
