At home every day till Three, and From Fire till Eight. tion from Mr. O'Connell. Thomas Packer, a lithographic artist, late in the employment of Mr. Holbrooke, lithographer to the Repeal As sociation, was then examined. He proved the en graving of two descriptions of cards, and a docu ment entitled " the diploma of a repeal warden," for the Repeal Association. The cards were those referred to in the opening speech of the Attorney- General. The witness stated that he designed the portraits in the borders. They represented Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Flood, Owen Roe O'Neill (a leader of the Roman Catholics in the merciless war fare carried on under pretence of favouring the monarchy in 1641-5), Brian Boroihme, and Allan Fodlum (an apocryphal character celebrated in the Irish annals as a lawgiver). This likeness the witness sketched from his imagination, as he did that of the rebel Hugh O'Neale. There were also por traits of General Saarsfield and " King Daltran." The designing and engraving of these cards were carried on under the inspection of four of the tra versers. The cross-examination of these witnesses elicited nothing material. Isaac Gardner, a writing engraver, John Annesley, a lithographer, and Joseph Annesley, a printer, proved the printing of the cards, as well as of the " deed of submission," and " award of arbitrators." The latter documents were, after some opposition by the traversers' counsel, read to the Court. John Ulick Macnamara, a short-hand writer, connected with an Irish provincial newspaper, stated that he was present at a repeal meeting, attended by Mr. O'Connell, at Tullamore, on the 16th July, and took notes of the proceedings. He read to the Court the addresses of three Roman Catholic priests, Flanagan, Spain, and Kearney, and a portion of the speech of Mr. O'Connell. 3he witness also de scribed the banners displayed on the occasion, one of which bore the motto " Ireland and her Parliament, Eh* World in a Blaze." He was cross-examined great length, and stated that he had been employed take notes of the meeting by a stipendiary magistrate, but had not been yet paid. During the examination of this witness the Attorney-General informed the Court that two of the traversers (understood to be Mr. O'Connell and his son) had left the precincts of the Court ; and that although he was disposed to give them every reasonable liberty during the trial, he could not permit them to attend meetings elsewhere ; con sequently, if they did not return immediately he would estreat their recognisances. Mr. O'Connell, who had been attending a meeting of the Repeal Association, shortly afterwards entered the Court. John Simpson Stewart, a sub-inspector of constabulary, gave evidence respecting the Tullamore meeting, in corroboration of that of the last witness. Mr. Neill Browne, a stipendiary magistrate, gave testimony to the same effect. James Johnson, a head-constable, was next examined respect ing the meeting held at Longford on the 29th of May. He took notes, which he read, of the speech of Mr. O'Connell, and proved that banners were exhibited bearing such mottoes as "A population of nine millions is too great to be dragged at the tail of any other nation," &c. With the cross-examination of this witness the proceedings terminated. We observe with regret a statement to the effect that placards have been posted in Dublin of a most atrocious character, denouncing Mr. Hughes, one of the witnesses for the Crown, as " a spy and an in former." Every person who knows anything of the feelings of the lower Irish must be aware that to use these epithets respecting any individual, is to make him the victim of gross insult, if not of assas sination ; but the miscreants who are guilty of such a proceeding as posting these placards, add lying to their other iniquities. Mr. Hughes gave his evidence in a most ingenuous and honest manner. At all the meetings lie was known and declared to be taking notes for the Government. His testimony bore, with out the least injury, a searching cross-examination, and in no one particular is the slightest impropriety attributable to his conduct. Cbtrb 7,Ebition OFFICE, Seven o'Cloch.

GLOBE. —The Irish State trials proceedings of Monday are before us. With the exception of Saturday's —the whole of which were occupied by the evidence of that most imaginative wit ness, Mr. Jackson, the Morning Herald's veri table correspondent—the proceedings of Monday were the most stale, flat, and unprofitable for the purposes of the prosecution (and this is saying a good deal) of any of the preceding days. The pro prietor of the Morning Herald receives anything but commendation from the Dublin Tory journals for his anxious solicitude on behalf of the Government. Whether • the - break down of the witness he sup plied has caused the Tory organs to treat his fond concern with such cold, insulting comment, we know not. There may be, and possibly is, a general feeling, that to hand a confidential agent over to the Crown Solicitor, and to forward letters to this officer which had been written under the seal of such confidence, without once consulting or communicating with the Writer—just as though he had been "a horse, a dog, or a - mUle," are acts which reflect discredit on the en tire press ; and are therefore visited, as they deserve to be , with reprobation. The following allusions by the jublin Mail to the Morning Herald's " supply in aid," are anythinghut complimentary to the obsequious journal :—" Mr. Jackson, a reporter connected with the Morning Herald, was put upon the table to verify sundry reports transmitted by him to London. It appears that the manuscripts forwarded by Mr. Jackson to the Herald office, were placed in the hands of the Crown Solicitor, by the proprietor of that journal, without the knowledge of Mr. Jackson. On a cross-examination, it was made to appear that several of the reports were mere com pilations from the Dublin morning papers, and con sequently Mr. Jackson's e v id ence was r en d ere d nugatory.'' This witness was evidently regarded as one of the main props of the prosecution. His de plorable "break down" was therefore felt to be a serious and most untoward event, which could not be counteracted. Mr. Jackson was to have proved all the matters—the sayings and doings with which the indictment charges the traversers in connexion with the Corn Exchange meetings of the Repeal Association. The following are the dire forebodings of failure to the prosecution, resulting Dublin Mail utter s on this' sad mishap :—" from Mr. Jackson's short comings, which the We know not to what extent thi s l a d le may affect t h e indict ment with respect t o certa i n transact i ons o f t h e Corn Exchange Associati on; b ut we cannot re f ra i n f ro m censuring the culpable carelessness which left so im portant a portion of the case to the accidental care or negligence of any chance reporter whose notes might turn up. The Government of Lord Grey was far more vigilant in this respect, and when the occasion of watchfulness arose, two Government reporters were officially attached to the Association of the day, with its collateral meetings."

For the Government to imagine that such a state of feeling, in such a people, could be allayed by first spreading an immense military force over the peaceable 'country, until-every district in it wears the appearance of a military depot, and the whole as though it were held in it s su bj ec tion to the British Crown by the presence of an army of occupation — was a scheme so fraught with folly, and so pregnant li t with all the elements of re a l danger, as to justify 1 worst apprehensions for the peace of the country . it was designed, we suppose, to protect and _ r • pre serve.

The answer is worthy of note. it ' seemed to take the counsel for the Crown perfectly by surprise ; and produced, as it well might, a hearty laugh at their expense from the Bar and the audience :—" On my oath I did not. I thought, after so many meetings had passed over where the very same language was used, and the same pro ceedings had taken place, that no notice would have been taken of that meeting in particular." It is now pretty evident that the Crown lawyers are beginning to wish these proceedings at an end. The " shine" has been taken out of the vain boastings of the Attorney-General in his opening speech. A more lame and impotent conclusion never followed promises so boldly made, and predictions so confidently uttered. The proceedings on the trial will be published, of course. The "mountain in labour" would be an apt frontispiece to the hook, and " farturiunt montes, nascitur ridiculus mus" a fit motto for its title-page.

Mr. Steele was inside, and another person, who seemed to be a clerical gentleman. I did not know .who he was. Mr. O'Con nell arrived about two o'clock. He was preceded by three or fbur bands playing before him. The houses in the town were decorated with green bows, and some of the people carried bows in their hands, waving them ; some of the people had sticks, and on approaching the platform way was made for them, and- sonic of them had sticks and were brandishing. them; the meeting broke up between four and five o'clock; I was near the platform which was very large, and a number of persons on it ; I did not see any of the traversers except Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Steele; I took notes of the mottos that day but Mr. Johnston took notes of the speeches from a window, under my observation, as we could not both conveniently take chem ; the motto over the platform was "Ireland for the Irish, and the Irish for Ireland ; that was very conspi cuous ; in another part of the town was "A population of nine millions is too great to be dragged at the tail of another nation ;'.it was on a large piece of white calico or linen, and was fastened to the wall on the Dublin road ; it was after the meeting I saw it there ; another motto was "He that com mits a crime strengthens the enemy ;" I am quite sure the word enemy was there ; another motto was " Repeal and no sep ara ti on "—" Cead mille fealtha." I heard Mr. O'Connell speak that day in the early part of his speech. He said theirs was no vain cause. I cannot charge my memory with having heard him make any allusion to trial by Jimy or the administration ofjustice. Did you hear him make an y a ll us i on to judges or courts of justice ?—He said they took the commission of the peace from your respected supporters ;" he also said to the people "Go home quietly, and tell your friends what you have heard, and when I marl' von again won't you be ready ?" That se Itence WU im pressed on my memory, as ;t Wis ti e co iclusion of his speech ; after that Mr. Steele can e forward, with a parcel of papers ; he st,id t Ley were speeches of the Liberator's, made about some measure of Sir R. Peel's. After Mr. O'Connell made his speech did you see any brandishing of stocks ?—No. _ _ _ Mr. Fitz — gibbon—Having regard to the testimony of the last witness yesterday I would ask is that question put in a fair or legal shape? Judge Perrin—Sure it has been answered. Chief Justice—What harm is the answer? Mr. Bennett—l would be exceedingly obliged to Mr. Fitzgibbon if he finds me putting an illegal question to make an objection to it at the time, and I shall esther sustain it or give it up. Mr. Fitzgibbon—" After Mr. O'Connell's speech did you see any brandishing of sticks ?" Mr. Bennett—Yes ; I had a right to put that ques tion, and you are not to judge of its legality, sir ; it is for the Court. Chief Justice—Oh, go on with the examination. Witness—The people all dispersed after the meeting. Chief Justice—Can you state about how many per sons you suppose were there ? I think between forty and fifty thousand. Cross-examined by Mr. Hatchell, Q.C.—I am in the constabulary, and a first head constable. I am not a sub-inspector, but it is the next step to my office. John ston was the head constable there on the occasion. Tere are two degrees in the class of head constables. There is one chief head constable in each count. Mr. O'Connell—Speak up, Sir, let us hear what you say. - I an' a first head constable, and the next step is sub inspector. I came to Longford on the 27th of May, the night before the meeting. I came with Johnston, who was examined here yesterday. Did you read any report of his evidence in the papers this morning ?—Not this morning. Did you last night, Sir ?—Yes, I did. Mr. Hatchell—So I thought. Were you ever in the army ?—No. Where did you stop in Longford ?—We got into a house convenient to the platform. And you saw it of course ?—Yes, certainly. Did you see any breach of the peace committed ? None whatever. Or any tendency to a breach of the peace 2—There was no breach of the peace committed. Who do you evade giving me a direct answer ?—I will tell you all I know about the subject. Was there any tendency to a breach of the peace ?—I did not see any breach of the peace committed. Give me a direct answer, Sir. Was there any ten dency to a breach of the peace 7—None that I saw. I take it for granted you are not a Repealer ? —(Laughter.)—No, nor do I belong to any other party. Don't you belong to a party of police.—(Laughter.) You saw a great deal of people there 7—Yes, after Mr. O'Connell arrived. But there was no breach of the peace, and having gone there to preserve the peace, and finding the peace was not broken, " Alas, Othello's occupation was gone," and Mr. head-constable Macquire had nothing at all to do.—(Great laughter.) Is it not so ?—I did not go there to preserve the peace at all. Didn't you though. Ah, me ! Well, and what brought you there Mr. Head-constable Maguire ? I went there to make observations. Mr. Hatchell—Hah 1 That was the tactic of a good general to see how the land lay in the first instance.— (Loud laughter.) When we are assembled for preserv ing the peace, we act under the command of the sub inspector. The people were cominglin merrily ?—Yes, they were The same as to a country fair ?—Eh. Did you ever see the people coming into an Irish country fair merrily ?—Yes, very, after kicking up their heels and dancing a little bit.—(Loud laughter). Yes, something after that fashion. You said the people were brandishing their sticks ? Yes, they were. Was it in anger or disorder, or had it a tendency to anger or quarrel amongst themselves2—Not the least anger. were coming in parties,' you said ?—Yes, they were coming in military array. Oh, dear me, in military array. Now had they their sticks on their shoulders this way ?—(Here the Learned Gentleman shouldered a large pm amid great laughter.) Was that the way, eh ?—No they had not. Do you understand me ?—I suppose I do. Did they carry arms ?—(Great laughter.)—No. Did they come to the post 2—No.—(Laughter.) Did they present arms when the General came up?— (Roars of laughter.)—No. Did they charge ?—No. They did not ?—No, they did not ; no. And yet they came in military array. Wonderful Captain Maguire I—(lmmense laughter.) They came in military array and did not carry arms, did not come to the post, did not present arms to the General, did not charge—(Laughter)—and yet they came in military array ?—Yes, they did. Did they halt ?—Some of them might have halted. Do you mean that some of them were lame ?—(Shouts of laughter.)—There might be some of them lame, and in that sense they might halt.—(Laughter.) Where did they halt?—Near the platform. That was when they could not go further ?—Yes.— (Immensi laughter.) Did they stand at ease ?—I suppose they did, for some of them must have come a good distance, and therefore they must have been tired.—(Laughter.) Oh, they wanted rest, and then they stood at ease— just so ?—(Laughter.)—They marched, and patted, and stood at ease, because they were tired. Do you know anything about marching ?—Yes, some al. - thing. Were you ever drilled ?—I was. Do you know the first movement ?—When a person is desired to march he is to put his left leg foremost, (Shouts of laughter.) And let your right leg follow it 2—Ys, that's it. Well, now, were the people coming in military array, with their left legs foremost ?—(Renewed laughter.) I do not know which of their legs were foremost.—(Great laughter.) Did you see them all march P—l don't know. Did you ever hear " Come, brave boys, we're on for marching"—(Laughter) ?—Can you explain the dif ference between the right and left legs 2—(Shouts of laughter.)—Not exactly. Which of your legs is foremost now ? Cannot say. Mr. Bennett—What has the difference of legs to do in this case ? Mr. Hatchell—Do not be angry because I am pleased. Come, Captain gaguire--General, I think, I ought to call you—did you ever read Dundas on Manoeuvring ? Yes, a little. What part of it 7—Cannot say. Then, you have forgotten your lesson ?—So it ap pears.—(Laughter.) Well, now, having gotten so far with your left leg , foremost, what do you mean by rank and file ? Two deep. Ah, hah ! you are too deep for me. On your oath, does it t mean two deep, or a single file ? Cannot tell exactly. Oh, there you are, Mr. Captain Macquire, on Dundass's tactics.—(Laughter.) Do you mean to tell that jury that the people a 4 came in marching two deep deep.— I do not. SUMMARY of the STATE TRIALS. (EIGHTH DAY.) DUBLIN, JAN. 23. The examination of the Crown witnesses was resumed to-day at the sitting of the Court, at 10 o'clock. They were all members of the constabulary force — either officers or privates. Their testimony went to prove the utterance of certain phrases and expressions, to which the law•ofcers of the Cr own s 7v • attached importance, by the traversersr.4l4, - 642011 : ' 7l who spoke at the several "monster meetts*,.",„ \ LA4 7- meetings to which the evidence adduced t444:t(iiiF - 177: plied were those held at Longtbrd, more,,Baltinglass, Clontibret, and Tara. Tte x iikeV-: k- 1 ...a men founded their testimony upon notes which they took of whatever appeared to them to be inflamma tory language, used by the speakers. On their cross-examination it very frequently came out that those " recording angels" in black belts were not the most accurate note-takers in the reporting world. Their notes appeared to be rather free translations of the speeches of the Repealers. In one instance a por tion of a speech which was delivered at Baltinglass- -- by' Mi. CONNER, of " fixity of tenure" notoriety, who, it may be in the recollection of the public, was expelled, some time ago, from the Repeal Assooiation, for persisting in a motion of an unjust and illegal na ture, relative to the tenure of land—a portion of his speech one of those armed reporters swore was deli vered by Mr. O'CONNELL. The witnesss under ex amination when our express left was Captain DES PARD, S. M., who was describing the characteristics of the Tara meeting. • Judge BURTON still continues indisposed, and does not take his seat; his absence is much regretted, as he is respected by all parties.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn,—lt is a maxim of our law that " every man is to be presumed innocent, until he is proved to be guilty." Who would imagine that such a maxim was generally ad-• mitted, when he perused the leading articles of the Standard and Times—the first incessantly implying the guilt of Mr. O'Connell and his co-traversers, the second boldly designating them as " conspirators," and (vide Times of Monday, Jan. 22) " seditionists. " I am not disposed to raise a smile of pitying astonishment= the countenances of your readers, by appearing to expt from the editors of Tory papers, e ven th e s l ig ht es t knowle dge of the laws of their country, or of those of candour and justice—but surely ignorant, prejudiced, and unjust, as they may be, we are entitled to call upon them for common decency —or, it least, requiring that if they have not any such quality, they should pay the tribute to virtue of affecting it.

ARUNDEL, TUESDAY EVENING.—IIiS Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge has been enjoying the sports of the field to-day, in company with Lord Arundel, Lords Edward and Bernard Howard, &c. The dinner party at the castle this evening will include the Duke of Richmond and Lady Caroline Lennox, W. G. K. Gratwicke, Thomas Evans, John Abel Smith, Esqrs. Our bells rang a merry peal on the ar rival of his Royal Highness en Monday evening, which gave great eclat on the occasion. We are happy to say the Noble Duke is in the enjoyment of excellent health ; he leaves for Petworth on Thursday on a visit to Colonel Wyndham, is company with the Duke of Norfolk. The Norfolk Arms is well occupied with company on the occasion. On Monday the/ return to town to attend to their Parliamentary duties. FRIGHTFUL TRAGEDY.-011 Friday a dreadful and desperate murder was committed in Burntisland, which caused deep and general excitement and regret amongst the inhabitants. A man named Sliman, a shoemaker we believe, who had been frequently under restraint while living previously in Berwick, had been heard to threaten to kill several respectable indi viduals in the town and neighbourhood, under a mental delta. lion that they were possessed of and withheld some money or property belonging to him. How ever , no b e li e f seem s to have een entertained that he would put any such threat into exe cution, and he was allowed to ge at large. But on Friday, or the evening before, he had been seen sharpening two large pointed knives, and the Provost being made aware of this eircumstanee, we have been told by Sliman's father, he granted warrants to the town officer, named CQrstorphine, to apprehend him. The latter seat to Kinghorn for Simpson, the town officer there, to assist him, and in the course of Friday forenoon tbq came up to Sliman in the Links, when Corstorphine, taking him by the arm, told him he would consider himself a prisoner. The maniac asked on what warrant ; but before it could be produced,. struck a knife into .the officer's hand, nearly cutting it in two, and in another instant ran the knife into his heart. Cerstorphine held the warrant of apprehension under his vent, and it was pierced through by the knife, in its passage to his body. He fell down instantly, and died in two or three minutes. The maniac fled to his own house, where he barri caded himself in a garret; and as it was dangerous to come near him, another officer was sent for to Kirkaldy, and the posse comitatus raised, armed with such lethal instruments as they could lay hold of. Finding they could not easily break into his barricade, orders were then given, and slaters procured, to unroof the house. This• proceeding had commenced, when Sliman, imagining the egress would be now free, undid the door and bolted down stairs; but was fortunately secured by the officers before doing further injury to any one. Shrum has a wife and several children in Burntisland. The officer, Core storphine, was unmarried, but much respected in his offiee, and his untimely and tragical death is much lamented by the _whole community.— Caledonian Mercury. The St. Petersburgh Journal of the Bth gives an account of the solemn celebration of the betrothal of the Grand Duchess Alexandrine Nicolaieona with Prince Frederick of Hesse. After the ceremony the august betrothed presented their thanks to their Majesties, who then received the felicita tions of all the other members of the Imperial Family. The Archbishops and the clergy celebrated a Te Ileum, and when the prayer was offered up for the health of the Imperial Family, a salvo of 31 shots was fired from the fortress of St. Peters burgh. When the religious ceremony had concluded, the mem • hers of the Holy Synod offered their felicitations to their Ma jesties and the young couple. The same day a banquet was given in the Great Marble Hall to persons of both sexes of the three first classes, and in the evening there was a grand dress ball in St. George's Hall, at which were all the Ambassadors. Foreign Ministers, and great personages of the Court. The bells were kept ringing all day, and at night the fortress and city were illuminated. REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES, RY MOVING AMEND MENTS ON SUPPLY MOTIONS. —On the 21st of September last. Mr. W. S. Crawford, M.P. for Rochdale, addressed a letter to Mr. Joseph Sturge,. proposing that an effort should be made to create a public opinion, in favour of the ancient and con• stitutional principle of moving amendments on the supplies, until - the people's grievances are beard and redressed. The Council of the Complete Suffrage Union took the initiative its this matter, and appointed their President and Secretary visit the principal boroughs in England, to place it before the public.

The first paper will be devoted, almost exclusively to Hong- Kong and its vicinity, and will include personal sketches of all classes of the native inhabitants; together with most curious and interesting particulars of the practice and results of opium smoking ; a description of the various bazaars and public places; an account of the numerous hands of thieves and pirates which infest Hong-Kong and the waters in its immediate vicinity, the various means and methods of locomotion, the public hotels, and, in short, a detailed view of all the strange and novel points connected with this most interesting locality.

The trial progresses, marked with its usual cha racteristics of bitterness and asperity on the part of the Crown lawyer. Indeed, with this exception, counsel on both sides, and the judges themselves, are well enough disposed to relax into a smile when occasion offers. During the very amusing cross-examination ofJOLLY, the police-constable, this morning by Messrs. HA T CREEL and WHITESIDE. The ATTORNEY- GENE NERAL was the only person whose countenance was unvisited by a smile. One saw by him that it had no business thare. I do not believe the trials will continue so long as was at first supposed. It is rumoured that the Crown will close on Wednesday. The traverser's Counsel will occupy four days in addressing the )ury. The examina tion of witnessess for the defenoe, the reply of the SOLI CITOR-GENERAL and the summing up of the Judge will occupy till about the end of the third week. It is conjectured the jury will be very brief in perform ing their portion of the act. Of course this can he only conjecture; but there are those who know the men who say it is certain. lam very much disposed to doubt it myself, judging, of course, from the nature of the evidence. lam certain the case would not stand a moment before English judges, and an English jury. The report will give you the proceedings of the Court in plena. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. THE QUEEN V. DANIEL O ' CONNELL AND OTHERS. DUBLIN, TSDA Y. The Court sa t at ten o'clock. The traverlTE sers were in punctual attendance. The first witness called was John Maguire, Head constable of Police, who being examined by Mr. Bennett, Q:C., on the part of the Crown, de posed—l am a Head -constable of Police ;in the month of May last I was stationed in the town of Sligo. I remember having attended the Longford Repeal meeting, which was held last May on a Sunday. I saw the people coming into the town that day. They came flocking into the town between eight and nine o'clock with musical bands playing before them. They walked down the street playing "St. Patrick's Day,' " Garryowen," and " The Irishmen." The bandsmen had peculiar dresses upon them. They wore military caps, some of which had red bands and some gold bands. There was here some trifling noise in the Court which appeared to annoy Mr. Bennett, who requested that Mr. Hatchell would use his influence with the gentlemen around him to pre serve order, as it would be otherwise, very difficult to conduct the examination. Mr. Fitzgibbon (who .was sitting next to Mr. Hat chell) said—l can assure you, Mr. Bennett, that no one is making a noise in the vicinity of Mr. Hatchell. Mr. Bennett—But I can assure you, Mr. Fitzgibbon, that there is, for I can hear him speaking at this dis tance.—(Laughter.) Mr. Fitzgibbon—l'm sitting nearer to Mr. Hatchell than you are, and if there was any voice I should hear it. Mr. Bennett—l assert there is noise, and I would not say so were it not that I know it to be true.—(Laughter.) Mr. Fitzgibbon—This interruption is quite uncalled for. Mr. Bennett—l m not alluding to you at all now, so keep yourself quiet.--(Laughter.) Mr. Fitzgibbon—Yes, but you said there was noise in my vicinity, and there is nothing of the kind. Mr. Bennett—l repeat what I said before ; some gen tlemen around Mr. Hatchell are speaking so loudly that I am interrupted in my examination of the witness. Mr. Fitzgibbon—lf there is noise in Court it does not come from this side of the Court—(A laugh)—l'm right. Mr. Bennett—So am I.—(Laughter.) Mr. Forde—My Lords, fwas only making a sugges tion to my counsel, Mr. Hatchell, and this I submit 1 hap every right to do. The Chief Justice—You ought not to be interrupting the Court, Mr. Forde. Mr. Forde—Nor was I, my Lord. I merely leant over the bar to make a suggestion to Mr. Hatchell relative to the cross-examination.l Mr. Fitzgibbon—l don't think Mr. Forde's voice could have interrupted anybody. Mr. Bennett—Ah, Mr. Fitzgibbon, do permit me to go on.—(Laughter.) Mr. Fitzgibbon—l have not the slighest objection.— (Laughter.) Mr. Benriett—Well now, witness, you were proceed ing to describe the bands ; they wore military caps you say ? Witness—Yes, with red or gold bands • some of the bands were preceded by a ma n d resse d, and like a drum major who held a large stick in his hand ; the people followed the bands ; I formed an estimate of the numbers who were present ; I should think from 40 to 50,000 people were met together on the occasion ; I observed a person leading the On the Ist of February, demy Bvo., price 12s. 6d., T HE GEMINI LETTERS on the CURRENCY QUESTION.
