THE GREAT AGGREGATE MEET ING OF THE CATHOLICS OF IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY. (Contanal from our Morning Edition of Yesterday.) Mr. (;'CoMITELL next rose to address the meeting. He said, that by some it had been said that this was no place for him to-day, and others had declared that if he did not attend it would be like the performance of Ham let with the chief part left out.—(Laughter.) Without, however, minding what either of these parties said, he felt himself that, as a Catholic, glorying in his religion, it was his duty to be present.—(Cheers.) He accused the British Government of the grossest perfidy towards the Roman Catholics of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) Trial )yr jury was admitted to be one of the greatest and most is nportant privileges of the British subject, but how ee mid it be properly or fairly administered if the Roman etholies were excluded from the jury-box ?—(Cheers.) complained that the names of 63 Roman Catholics had been struck off the jury panel, and he proclaimed to th‘t people of England and to the people of Ireland that there could be no satisfaction in a trial where these things whiilp were called accidents happened, and were said to be iv . ithout remedy.—(Hear, hear.) The Catholics of Irel and were indignant at such conduct, and were the'y not , bound then to congregate again and insist on their lir ;Ms and the vindication of their honour ?—(Hear.)What w as the mode of protecting life, liberty, and property I tut trial by jury, and could that be done ifit were once pro claimed to be a legitimate cause for excluding a man from 'the jury - -box that he was a Catholic 2—(hear, hear.) If such a course were pursued, the spirit of the Act of Emancipation, as well as the Queen's prerogative, would be violated ; and this they must not submit to without at least remonstrance.—(Hear, hear.) Sir J. Graham had said in the House of Commons that the Roman 4 Catholics had violated their oaths ; he had thus insulted hem, and was he not the Secretary for the Home De partment ?—(Groans.) It was quite true that he had s% lowed his words, but he only retracted them when he found the indignation of the Irish Members pouring Aerie upon him. Mr. Smith had accused the Catholics of -violating the sanctity of an oath ; there was no imam sistency about him—he had never retracted ; in act, as in speech, he was the same ; and he, accordingly, struck every Catholic from the jury list.—(Cheers.) But (Ed they suppose that by these proceedings they would tit down the determination of the people to obtain radicisl redress for their grievances ?—(Cheers.) Would the y make one anti-Repealer by them ? Would they redress any injury or do the people any good ?—(Hear, hoar.) He was ready to abide the result, and he cared re of what it might be ; even though the verdict wet re death itself, what harm could it do to the can se of Ireland ?—(Loud cheers.) He was heartily glad of wtiat had occurred. He did not know how they migl it tire a jury into a verdict, for he understood that, in conse - quence of a motion made that day, the trial might las t till the 15th of April--(Hear and laughter)—but this be knew, that 35 Catholics had dropped from the list. Hee put tine fact abroad among the people of Ireland, and le e was rejoiced that no Catholic was in the awkward predi - cement of being on a jury with 10 or 11 persons wh o did not attend to the evidence so closely as himself. II e rejoiced, too, that the spirit had gone abroad. It WI .5 mere meekery to say that these individuals were to I )e put off because they were Repealers. From north to south, from east to west, indignant Ireland was utteric g denunciations of the mode of proceeding adopted in ths is ease. The very excuse which they offered for the a' ct was the compliment which hypocrisy paid to virtue. A man was a hypocrite, not for hating or despising virts te, but out of compliment to it. He knew the value or i ir tue, and therefore pretended to that which he had 13 ot. The virtue of giving a perfectly fair jury was expect ed at tho hands of the Attorney-General, and was. p ut - .forth in the hypocrisy of the excuse that the C a tholics put off the list were Repealers—thus ad emitting, that if he had not that excuse the act would be derogatory to a public functionary.—(Hear, hear.) lde came forward as one of the Catholics of Ireland. WI tat was it to him that he was one of the accused party were they not all accused ?—(Hear, hear.) They f Lad indicted his son, though he thought they should be te In tent with indicting the father, and he was bound to p ro tect that son. Buthe came there to call on the Cathcd ics of Ireland to protect themselves—(Cheers) --to for get what differences might have existed amongst them, i end without involving any man in an opinion which he did not entertain. They had heard that day gentlemen et 'ho were anti-Repealers, but while they maintained th eir opinions as auch, they were ready to join with the I le peelers in that meeting in insisting that the Governne ent should really emancipate the Catholics) by talc ing away that degrading inferiority which they could not endure. lie called on the Catholics of Ireland, 'om north to south, and from east to west, who had lists ned more than once to his voice, to rally one and all, iv in sisting that justice should be done to the peopl eof Ireland, and that the Administration who had outee age bogy dared to violate the Emancipation Act shoullx Ibe burled with disgrace from the position which they b eld, or, if not, should continue to hold office with the- e exe cration of every rational man in the community. The Catholic party, since their accession to power, had at !ted with perfect and complete liberality. In the corp( tion of Dublin they had returned an over proportion Protestants, and wherever a liberal Protestant had • pre sented himself he had been elected by the Libee rals. With the Catholic party there were no bigoted rase .ric tions, no paltry rivalship of religion.—(llear, ar.) The example now set by the Government could. not, therefore, be permitted to go down to posterity unscw,i thed and uncondemned—(Hear, hear) —nor could they a 'low the spirit of the Emancipation Act to be frittered_ a' may by the illiberality of a Government prosecution. A fter a lesson of peace to the people of Ireland, Mr. O'C on. nell concluded by saying, that there might be injustice,. th ere m ight be martyrdom, but there mu st be no shrink lug The petition to her Majesty was then adopted, a ad the meeting separated.

LONDON: TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 16, 1844. Never did the Crown, or what is far more true those who wield the powers of the Crown, go to a jury under circumstances, such as usher in the now pending trial. Never did Crown prose cutors, armed with all the power and authority which belong to official prosecutions, contrive, first of all, to place the parties prosecuted in such an unfavourable position, as regards themselves, their privileges, their chance of justification, and all those important requirements which the accused ought to possess, without claim, and as matters of absolute right. And never did Crown prosecutors place themselves in such a position, as the Irish law-officers have assumed, upon the present occasion; a position unpa ralleled in English history, in the history of Irish judicature, and in the annals of every tribunal of the whole world. For, liberty with out reality, is worse than despotism—trial by jury, without purity in the selection of that jury, is a farce—and far better, is open tyranny, than affected liberty, with the reality of tyranny. The freeman, who lives under free institutions, relies upon the freedom which is his birthright— he takes no particular care, to guard against the encroachments upon that freedom, until painful experience tells him, in a voice not to be mis taken, that he has leant upon a broken reed ; that he has lived in fancied security, whilst really in the very midst of dangers, and that the free dom in which he believed, was slavery in dis- guise, not the less so, because its fetters were bound round with roses. The objects of the present prosecution have felt and suffered all this ;—they have found, to their cost, that trial by jury, in all its preliminary stages, was nothing but the first proceedings of an inquisition, excluding every privilege to the accused, and placing them under every disadvan tage; in truth, that, instead of having the pre sumption of innocence in their favour, they were foredoomed, predestined, and their convictions fully determined upon. No privilege acceded ; every usual indulgence withheld ;—no opportu nity of learning with what they were charged,— before whom they were arraigned,—by whom the testimony had been given,—but every informa tion denied, as to all preliminary proceedings. The indictmentpresented to them ;—but by whom found—under what authority so found—and by what evidence so supported, no information af forded. Called upon, to plead to this indictment, no liberty allowed,—no privilege conceded,—no thing, but, like the Jew in Shylock, the pound of flesh demanded. And plea pleaded—issue joined—trial in prospect—a jury panel, that— but we dare not say what we feel and think, of the jury panel offered to the traversers. Let any man read the proceedings, in the Irish Court of Queen's Bench in Ireland, of Friday last; let him find the fact admitted that the jury list, from which the jury to try O'CoN NELL has been chosen, was not the jury list settled by the Recorder, inasmuch as many names had been by accident (accident in the formation of a jury list:) omitted, and can he doubt that there has been foul play, (whether accidentally, or designedly, we leave to that honest Judge PERRIN, to decide,) most grossly affecting the interests of the traversers. And this is the position in which the advisers of the Crown have placed the accused; a position the most unfavourable, to men called upon, to establish their innocence of a charge almost in definate, almost impossible fully to meet; and yet one, which not fully met, may affect their liberties and their lives. For the lives of free- men are in danger from incarceration in a dungeon —the man accustomed to breathe the pure air of Heaven, cannot exist under the care of the gaoler; and to deny the free intercourse of kindred spirits, is to deny the very essence of life. Never were men placed in a position so unfavourable, as the accused have been placed by the Crown lawyers. And yet the singularity of the case is, that whilst the Crown lawyers have placed the ac cused in the most unfavourable position in which men could be placed, they have placed them selves in a far worse position. A total denial of justice may be tolerated in a pure despotism, for there is no power of appeal, nor any remedy that can be applied to ; but in Ireland, even with Tory officials, and a Tory Government, justice cannot be totally denied, without raising doubts as to the propriety of the course adopted. And when such doubts strengthen into certainty, when it is in the mouths of every one, and every tongue repeats it,—that the Tory officials have behaved most partially, most indecorously, most injudiciously, and most unjustly,—are we not justified in saying, that the Crown lawyers have contrived to place, both the accused and them selves, in a position the most unfavourable before the jury It is the province of the jury to weigh in tents—to test the acts done, by those intents —to give to ~the accused that justice which is their right—and, packed as is the jury (for any jury must be packed, when the power to make a proper selection is withheld, either by accident or fraud), to show, that though crammed into the jury -box, by the will of the Crown officials — GOD forbid we should say, by will of the Crown —they have the minds of men, free as the air they breathe, pure as the breeze that fans their `isle, and equally devoid of taint or corruption. The Roman Catholics of Ireland:are promptly and boldly resenting the gross insult passed on them by the law authorities of Dublin who, by striking all the members of that faith off the jury list, have deliberately proclaimed it as their opinion that they are not to be trusted on their oaths. Lord KENMARE, Mr. Wyss, of Water ford, Mr. SHEIL, and several eminent Catholic Prelates, who have hitherto either taken no part in Repeal, or shown themselves decidedly hostile to it, have come publicly forward to mark their sense of this flagrant indignity; and at the Aggregate meeting which was held in Dublin on Saturday last, the Lord Mayor, who was in the chair, correctly expressed the feelings of his excited hearers, when he ob served that " as in religion he was a Catholic, the conduct pursued by the Crown within the last few days showed that they considered him unworthy to act as a common juror in the city of Dublin. Every citizen who professed that creed, sincerely believing it to be best, was declared disqualified to discharge the functions of a juror. There are seven and a half millions of Catholics in Ireland; they were excluded—practically dis qualified by the act of the Crown, which expunged the name of every Catholic from the jury panel in the State prosecutions." It may perhaps be imagined that these gentlemen were struck off merely because they were Repealers, and might naturally therefore be presumed to be so biassed as to be unable to give an impartial verdict; but this was not the case ; their sole crime was their .religion—a fact to which Mr. WysE thus alludes :—" It was not until after the Catholic jurors had been struck from the list that any idea was entertained of inquiry into their political principles ; so that it has been clearly ascertained that it was not the connection with any political associa tion, or the profession of any principles which might be considered as forming any particular political creed, which had incapa citated those gentlemen for the enjoyment of their privileges. Their sole crime was their Ca tholicity. The conduct of the Crown had esta blished the principle that the being Catholics implied a suspicion which in itself was sufficient to deprive men of the rights which belonged to the great mass of the people of Ireland." And this is the way in which the Catholics are treated, —fourteen years after the passing of the Act which professed to emancipate them from all the legal.and political and civil disqualifications under which they had hitherto laboured ! And the Government, which treats them thus cavalierly, is the same which brought forward and carried that Act, which was intended—in the language of its authors—to be one of grace and conciliation Yes, the Tories, who were the Emancipators, are now, true to their old instincts, become once again the oppressors of the Catholics. They cannot divest themselves of their old hereditary prejudices—they cannot get rid of their favourite system of government—but must needs betray the cloven foot, no matter how indispensable it is to their interests that they should keep it carefully concealed. Justly observed Sir ROBERT PEEL in the year 1836—only a few hours before he crossed over from the Treasury bench to the Opposition side of the House—that his great difficulty was Ireland. It was his great difficulty then—it, is his great difficulty now—and it will continue to be his great diffi culty, until he sees fit to huMble himself and cry " Peccavi"—to retrace his whole course of policy—and turn over a new leaf as regards the sister-country. Surely he must by this time be convinced that a one-sided system of legislation —a petty, temporising, neither-this-nor-that line of conduct, will never do for Ireland! He has already given it the fullest trial, and it has failed—failed so egregiously that not a few, even of those who have hitherto been its warmest ad vocates, have at length seen their error, and re fused any longer to sanction such a blundering system of policy. Beset with difficulties as the Premier now is—difficulties in a great measure of his own courting, and which he might have overcome, bad he been possessed of the requi site energy and decision of character—we suspect that it is in Ireland he is destined to meet with his downfal. That is the rock on which he will split—the country in which his reputation for political sagacity will ere long find its grave. Let the issue of the State prosecutions be what it may, he cannot fail to be the sufferer. If the result be an acquittal, his Ministry will have the mortification of having been beaten by O'CoN NELL in a trial of strength of their own seeking, and in which they had put forth all the resources of the Crown ; if, on the contrary, the result be a condemnation, not a Catholic in Ireland—no matter which he be a Repealer or a non-Repealer— but will be firmly convinced that such a result was brought about in bold defiance of justice. The consequence will be that a spirit of discon tent and distrust will become more general than ever among the Irish people ; and Mr. O'CoN NELL will resume the agitation of Repeal with more vigour and confidence, in his solitary dungeon, than he would if he were declaiming publicly in the Conciliation Hall, or at one of his famous monster meetings. Mr. THOMAS ATTWOOD has addressed a letter, on the irresistible necessity for an immediate ex pansion of the currency by an enlargement of our paper circulation, the facts and general rea soning of which the Editor of the Times will find it no easy task to evade. It is a communication marked by the same singleness and earnestness of purpose, the same enlarged views of the ne cessity for squaring the amount of our powers of distribution by a medium of representation and exchange, in proportion, on the one hand, to the increasing productiveness of our industrial and manufacturing activity,—and to the colossal de mands of our state taxation and of our intersocial debts and liabilities, on the other—which have always actuated the consistent efforts of the late Member for Birmingham in pressing upon the Le gislature the adjustment of this vital question. Mr. ATTWOOD feels warmly and speaks out; and like all enthusiasts, it may be that his intimate acquaintance and habitual dealing with the subject on which he treats, occasionally exaggerates his impressions upon some of its bearings. We are not prepared to say that this is the fact; but, for the sake of the argument, we are willing to concede the point to our Con temporary. Now the Times must see that it by no means follows, because its correspondent may occasionally overrate the tendencies of particular facts, he must be, therefore, mistaken in the results of the general statistics on which his arguments are founded. Had Mr. ATTWOOD erred as egregiously as the Times has assumed, in attributing a higher antiquity to the circula tion of bills of exchange in this country than the reign of CHARLES 11., a misconception on that point was scarcely worth dwelling upon in an attempt to refute a condensed review of the whole immediate operation and ultimate effect of PEEL'S destructive Bill of 1819. It served a purpose, however ; and our Contemporary was not slow to seize it. He contended, by implica tion, that all the other premises propounded by Mr. ATTWOOD were equally unfounded; and being thus in a position to blink the difficult and inconvenient task of discussing with his adver sary the real and complicated question at issue, lie indulged in his vein for " bantering," ad libitum, but with no great degree of candour, and infinitely less of success. In his letter of the 9th instant Mr. Anwoon has done well, we think, to leave this little triumph undisputed ; he has graver points to press; and, like the Ambassador who stumbled over the threshhold of the very presence-cham ber, never drops the missives which he has charged himself to deliver. In passing, however, we must take leave to protest against any doc trine so absurd as that in which, for the wise purpose just mentioned, he acquiesces. We have yet to learn that since it is matter of history that the bills of exchange of the MEDICI of Florence, and of their factors in all other cities of the civilised world, passed currently from hand to hand, all over Europe, and even in the marts of Asia, from the close of the fourteenth century— and the bills of the DIGGERS of Antwerp, as early as the time of CHARLES V. were ex changeable and negotiable here, under HENRY VIII., by the guilds and private merchants of London, having dealings with the Low Coun tries, such bills were never seen here till the reign of CHARLES 11. The mistake has its origin in that common error, which limits the OS e3i, t., _._ 1:1 ~:.:.~ definition of " money" to coinage, as metallic currency, instead of including within its designa tion, promissory and bank notes, bills of exchange r and, perhaps, bankers' deposits. For ourselves,' we see no way of escaping from the propositions contended for by Mr. ATTWOOD, that " nearly all the complicated and innu merable transactions of life are effected through the agency of monetary debts ;" and that " the transfer and exchange of acknowledgments of debt for each other has literally become vital to the existence of society amoFigst us." He has the advantage, we take it, of our Contemporary, in retorting the coarse epithet of " rascality" on those capitalists, fundholders, annuitants of fixed incomes, unencumbered landlords, and mortga gees, whose active partisanship precipitated the measure of 1819. The late Lord LIVERPOOL— Mr. ATTWOOD reminds the Times—told the House of Lords that " their rents had been doubled and trebled in paper money." After this, to enforce their payment in a currency vastly diminished in amount, and prodigiously dearer in material, does seem to have been the height of injustice. " The means of the people," he adds, in allusion to the quadruplication of the National Debt, the duplication of official salaries, and the consequent increase of taxes within the last thirty or forty years, " are cut down to the metallic level. Are their burdens to be kept up at the paper level ?" This question is a concise and pithy one : and it is one of many connected with, resulting from, and inevitably incident to, the present anomalous condition of our monetary system, with its multiplying wants, its increasing functions and liabilities, and its extravagantly diminished bases. In these three conditions we assign the elements of the whole disturbance and danger which beset it. Shall we be told that our category does not include the decay of trade, but too sensibly experienced already by a large portion of the community ? Let us subjoin what was stated by that profound thinker, and saga cious and experienced money merchant, the late Mr. N. M. ROTHSCHILD, in his evidence before the Bank Charter Committee. " If this country has money in abundance, it will have all the trade from the whole world ; and if you make money very scarce, the trade will go to other countries." The preferable alternative of these two is at least the polar star of Mr. ATTWOOD'S financial plan. Let the country adopt it. We have accounts from Madrid to the 7th inst., and though the capital and the provinces were perfectly tranquil, many feared that it wa only the 'calm before the storm. GONZALES BRAVO and his Ministry are becoming every day more contemptible, and as soon as General NAR vnEz has served his purpose with them he will get rid of them, as he did of LOPEZ and OLOZAGA. One point of importance has already been gained, the renewal of the pension to the Queen- Mother. The Gazette of the Bth was to contain the following, Royal decree : "According to the advice of the Council of Ministers, and following the dictates of my heart, I have decreed as follow : " Art. 1. The decree issued by the ex-Regent of the kingdom at Vittoria on the 26th of October, 1841, which suspended the payment of the pension assigned in the budget of the Ist of September of said year to my dearest and most beloved mother, Queen Maria Chris tina de Bourbon, is hereby revoked. " Art. 2. The Minister of Finance is charged with the execution of the present decree. " Given at the Palace, on the 6th of Jan., 1844." M. L. A. de Cueto had been appointed Minister Ple nipotentiary at Lisbon. M. Martinez do la Rosa was to proceed to Paris in a few days, and the Duke de Rivas to embark at Cadiz for Naples. The Paris Papers bring the Address to the Royal Speech, agreed to by the Committee, and a full report of the financial statement fur the year 1845, made by the Minister of Finances on Friday. The Address varies little from that adopted by the Upper Chamber, and requires no comment. The Budget is of more importance, as it shows the good effects produced on the country by peace and security. The subjoined brief outline, which is sufficiently favourable, is extracted from a Governm t paper, the Journal des Debats. The Budget for 1844, pre sented a year ago, required for the ordinary ser vice a sum of 1,281,013,7101., and the receipts at 1,247,228,366 f., leaving a deficiency of 33,783,344 f. For 1845, the ordinary expenses are put down at 1,276,106,797 f., and the receipts at 1,276,925,231 f., giving a surplus of nearly 1,000,000 f. Besides for 1834, the extraordinary Budget amounted to 123,500,000 f., 80,000,000 of which were to be covered by loan, and 43,500,000 were imputable to the floating debt. For 1845, the first part of the extraordinary works, that which is to be acquitted by Tans of the loa n already voted, amoun ts to 62,431,3441.; the second, charged to the floating debt, amounts to 34,000,000. But it must be remembered that among the expenses is included the dotation of the sinking fund, the larger portion of which, or that which corres ponds to the Four per Cents., Four-and-a-Half per Cents., and Five per Cents., remaining un employed, is applicable to covering the floating debt. For 1845, the resources of the sinking fund will amount to double the sum which the floating debt will have to bear on account of the extraordinary works. The writer, after quoting some other proofs of national prosperity, adds, with what we hope is well-founded exultation—" We do not think there is in Europe such an instance of the in crease of revenue, without an aggravation of taxes. Since 1833, all being balanced, it has been at an average, above 26,000,000 a year, half of the budget of Sweden. The augmentation is continual and progressive, and when we compare the foreseen receipts with the receipts realised, as the anticipated receipts are reckoned after the receipts of the two preceding years, the overplus is much increased. Thus 1843 will have yielded 45,000,000 more than was reckoned. In 1842 the overplus has been 77,000,000. Hence the consoling result to those who had been alarmed, by the additional expenses imposed by circum stances in 1840, that the extraordinary disburse ments the Treasury was in consequence con demned to, will involve us much less than had been supposed. Our financeswill soon bear no vestige of it, provided we be wise enough to persevere in the same policy, of which a doubt must not be enter tained. This state of the revenue will relieve the Go vermeil tfrom some anticipated difficulty in com pleting and maintaining the fortifications, and, if we are to credit a statement in the Reforme, the latter operation is in a very advanced state. From 12,000 to 15,000 gun-carriages it says have been cast at Nevers, Toulouse, Douai, Lille, and Strasburgh, of which a specimen may be seen at Vincennes, and at the esplanade of the Invalides; and as the Government has written on its banner, Peace everywhere, and for ever,' and as the arsenals contain from 8,000 to 10,000 pieces of cannon, the twelve bastiles which are ready to ceive their artillery may be supplied with their guns and mortars as soon as it pleases the Go vernment.'

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY MORNING. The Hibernia, Captain Judkins, which has performed some extraordinarily quick passages across the Atlantic, arrived here yesterday at one o'c lock., having, with fitly-six passengers, left Bo; ;tom on the afternoon of the Ist, and Halifax at n non on the 3d instant, thus making the run from :the latter place in ten, and from the former in tw e lye days, including the stoppage to take in the 133 ails, which, considering the season of the year, i s one of the most successful trips on re cord. Her dates are nine days later than those broug i'at by the Liverpool. Cot t i tress dragged its slow length along. No thing ,of interest has occurred in either House, if we •except a furious onslaught which the south( !rn members, headed by Mr. Wise, had u lade upon Mr. John Quincey Adams, for contending that Congress was bound to ret :o2ive the petitions of the people against slaver 27, in accordance with the spirit of the Amer i can declaration of independence. Pre vious e xhibitions of the same kind were marked by gr a at bitterness of feeling against the aboli tionis.t: t; but the outbreak alluded to seems to have e xcelled all that have gone before it in that respect. Mr. Wise, in particular, distinguished himsel Iby his ridiculous violence. The annexation of Texas is discussed in the pa pers, b ut the project, which is lay no means po pular in the north, seems to excite but little entht isiasm, or even warmth of feeling in the south„ although more particularly interested in the m,easure. But, however this favourite pro jectof the retiring President may have fallerestill born In pon the people, it is clear that the feelirr,ss of the same authority with regard to the Oregot I territory, have excited more atten tion, Itnd are more zealously responded to. To take immediate possession of the dis puted territory, is the favourite topic of the day. - The British Government ought to lose no time in. settling this bone of contention, because it is cAlear that, whatever the American Execu tive rmay wish to do—however honourably it may be inclined to act, the impetuosity of theweople will be in advance of diplomacy ; and by taking perentp tory possession, embroil the two Govern ments. The present excitement appears to have been produced by what are termed the " British agent s" taking forcible possession of the land, and selling portions of it to American settlers. Repudiation becomes popular. One of the New - York papers says, "It is greatly to be re gretted that the doctrine of repudiation, in several parts of the Western States, is openly sustai tied and defended." As the tide of emigration is continually flowing towards the west, and as population, which is the basis of the constilution of the Union, is more rapidly in creasin g there than in the north or south, it is poor consolation to reflect that the most dis honest portion of the communiiy will soon be paramount in Congress. Staten Island had been the scene of a horrid murder. A woman named Houseman and her infant, in the absence of her husband, who is a seafaring man, had been murdered, and then covered with a rag, which had been set fire to, in order to consume the bodies. The atrocity took place on Christmas eve or morning. A re ward: of a thousand dollars had been offered for the discovery of the murderers. There appears to be nothing new or exciting from Canada. The Welland Canal had been the scene of another riot, produced by a police officer going to make an arrest. The officer was met with an armed resistance, the troops were called out, and the ringleaders were arrested. Many of the labourers, it is added, had refused the present prices, and destitution had made them desperate. The Stock and Money-markets of New York, which at the date of the previous advices were very buoyant, had sustained a cheek. The prices of many descriptions of stock had fallen considerably, and something like a panic had fol lowed, from which the Stock-market had not recovered when the packet sailed. The Cotton-market was active, although the most conflicting opinions still prevail respecting ,he yield of the new crop. CANADA. DISSOLUTION OF THE UNITED LEGISLATURE. Our advices from Canada yesterday furnish the speech of Sir Charles Metcalfe on the disso lution of the Parliament. The following are the main points of this document. A Council had not been formed when the advices left : " Honourable Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, and Gentlemen of the; Legislative Assembly : _ "In consequence of the interruption which our joint labours: have undergone, entirely against my inclination, and from causes over which I have had no control, I now meet you for the purpose of relieving you from further attendance in Parliament. I am sensible of your unremitting application to your arduous duties during the session which has been so unexpectedly shortened ; and I trust that the measures which you have passed, and to which I have given the Royal assent in her Majesty's name, will prove beneficial to the country. Some Bills I have been under the ne cessity of reserving fbr the consideration of her Majesty's Government, either from the imprac ticability of their being carried into execution, owing to their depending on other measures which have not passed into law, or from their affecting the prerogative of the Crown, or being of a character that, under the Royal instructions, render that proceeding imperative." His Excellency next thanks the Assembly for the supplies granted ; and then, addressing both branches of the Legislature, expresses a hope that brotherly love will be secured, and that " peace and happiness will render our country a desirable place of refuge for the surplus popula tion of the parent country, whose settling here is frought with benefit to themselves and the colony." THE IRISH STATE TRIALS. It will be interesting to our readers to know how the legal talent of the Irish bar .is dis tributed, upon these important trials, and to know the relative position of traversers and prosecutors as to the counsel employed. Mr. O'Connell, a host in himself; needs no description from us. He will address the jury in his own behalf. Mr. Henn, second to none in power, or in skill, and whose authority is of great weight; Mr. Whitesides, an earnest and enthusiastic ad-. vocate, who delights in encountering difficulties that he may overcome them e Mr. M‘Douougli, learned, quick of perception, and always pre pared; Mr. Moore, a thorough lawyer, ener getic, and a sound logician; Mr. Fitzgibbon, clear in argument, shrewd, bold, yet careful; Mr. Pigott, cautious, doubting, but safe, certain, and powerful; Mr. Ha.tcliell, penetrating, dex terous, and a terror to the prevaricator; Mr. Monahan, able, quick in perception, and sound in expression; and though last, not least, Mr. Sheil, whose eloquence will pierce the ears, and whose reasoning can reach the mind—form the silk-gownsmen of the bar for the traversers. Joined with them, as juniors, are Sir Colman O'Loghlin, Mr. Close, and Mr. O'Hagati, all of whom are learned, enthusiastic in their clients' cause, and fast rising in their profession. For the Crown, Mr. Smith, the Attorney-Ge neral, brave as a lion, spiteful as a cat—learned enough for ten lawyers, yet without judgment or temper for one; Mr. Greene, the Solicitor-Ge neral, lucid, placid, sincere, and argumentative; Mr. Brewster, powerful in sarcasm, severe, skil ful in manoeuvres, and learned in quibbles; Mr. Holmes, whose talents are of first-rate order; Mr. Bennett, the leader of the Munster bar, and fit to lead it, by his mental talents and his kind disposition ; Mr. Napier, skilled in all the depths of pleading and legal proceedings; Mr. Tomb, artful, crafty, and able; Mr. Freeman, Mr. Martley, Mr. Smiley, and Mr. Baker complete the array for the Crown. It is said that Sergeant Stock, the Liberal Member for Cashel, has also been retained to aid the cause of the prosecution. Taking the two arrays, there can be no doubt that the preponderance of talent end of legal weight is on the side of the traverses; and if the issue depeuded ou counsel and advocates, we should have no difficulty in foretelling the result. As it is, Heaven speed the right, and send the jury hearts to prompt, and minds to direct them. There is an able article in the Metropolitan Magazine for January, upon this subject, which is well worth perusal, and which is evidently written by one thoroughly conversant with the merits of the Irish bar. It will repay the reader for his trouble. TO TEE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—liave the goodness to insert the follow ing, and you will oblige a subscriber and a lover of truth. In the Second Edition of last Monday's Even ing Sun, is a letter signed by . one who styles himself " Experimentalist." Now I have lived the greatest part of my life within one mile of Cheadle Church, and am now living within three miles of the said church, but 1 never knew, be fore reading The Sun newspaper, that the whole parish contained one experimental farmer. As I know every farm in Cheadle, and also all the farmers, I was somewhat astonished on read ing the account. I very much doubt the truth of his figures; and unless he can give the exact measure, and also the exact weight of each ex periment, I for one cannot believe him, nor am I alone in disbelieving him; and we farmers very naturally want to know who " Experimentalist" is, that we may get information at home. An other reason why I and my brother farmers doubt the accuracy of his experiments is, the trifling cost of his- manuring. I can tell " Experimentalist" that I paid 7s. per ton nett for stable dung in Manchester, to say nothing of the cost of carting, men's wages for spreading, wear and tear, &c. Now 15 tons at 7s. per ton will cost Si. 55., just the amount of " Experi mentalist's" experiment, No. 2. Is there no other expense than the first cost, I would ask " Experimentalist?" " :Experimentalist" seems to be an enemy to guano, and that a "piiblic enemy too, or he would not have sent his • glaring figures to London, where scarcely any one knows anything either about him or the state of farming in Cheadle. If he had not been its public enemy, he would have been content to let his wonderful (query) experiments be buried in oblivion. But " Experimentalist" had better _ _ inquire of his neighbours for the value of guano as a manure as compared with stable dung and night soil, several of whom 17 know have used it two years with very satisfactory results, both upon grazing land and fur turnips and potatoes, as also upon meadow land. I know some of them who could show him a sample of hay grown with gemo against his extraordinary rich grape, as he calls it. Now, generally spelking, the heavier the crop is, the coarser it is—but - Mat is directly con trary to " Experimentalist's" experiment. This is another reason why I doubt the accuracy of his experiment. " Experimentalist" may vaunt torch his favourite muck to the world, but his boasting of having lost 211. by the experiment is ridi culous in the extreme ; and should he be in clined to send another account before the public, I would recommend him to be more explicit, and put his produce upon the scale, and not make a random calculation, just as his pre judiced mind may dictate.

His disease was consumption, under which he had been gradually sinking for several months, accelerated by a depression of spirits. His last visits to his friends were made on Christmas-day. The Lords of the Admiralty have purchased the working model from which the statue of Nelson upon the column in Trafalgar-square was executed. The model is five feet ten inches high, and is to be placed in a niche in the vestibule of the Admiralty, immediately facing the principal entrance to that building. Tax WEATHEN.—The weather up to Saturday last was moist and foggy, with occasional heavy rains. On Saturday there was a marked change for the better in the appearance of the atmosphere. The wind was in the N.N.E. ; the barometer stood at 30 10, and through out the day the air was bright, cold, and seasonable. Yesterday was a sharp, biting, winter's day. The wind stood due east, and, as the barometer went up to a great height, that in the Exchange news-room standing last night at 30 50, it is probable that we shall have a period of clear, frosty weather. —Liverpool Albion of Monday. EASY AND EXPEDITIOUS METHOD 01' LEARNING FRENCH.—Numerous as have been the methods intro duced from time, to time for the speedy acquirement of the French language, none are to be compared with the very judicious and. unpretending productions or Mons. LePage, which consist of " L'Echo de Paris," " Gift of Conversation, the " Last Step to French," and the " French Master for the Nursery," any one of which are sold separately, as they may be required by the progress of the pupil. They are singularly concise and clear, and peculiarly calculated to obviate the necessity of sending young persons to France, at the risk o►f morals, to learn that which may as easily be acquired in this country, free from the baneful contamination of French manners. We are happy to observe, from the number of editions they . haee gone through, that they are getting into gene ral circulation.
