LONDON, THURSDAY, FE BRUARY 1, 1844. The. Irish, Attorney-General, already too cele brated for his way of conducting state prosecutions, has at last reached the climax of absurdity, and brought. the GovernMent which he represents into Eupnlne contempt. In every step he has taken in t1;;-6e -, norentous trials he has committed a blunder. The original panel of jurors was mutilated by the withdrawal, or suppression, or abstraction, of forty eight jurors; all the Catholics on the list were struck off; the whole of Catholic Ireland was roused to mad ness by this deliberate insult; and every wise and im- partial and honest Protestant said this rash proceed- ..11r. FITZGIBBON said the Attorney -Gener a l ing vitiated the whole proceedings. But all these came with pistol in hand, and he could not help blund:,:rs or machinations, all the remaining bigoted telling him that he would not thus draw an apolog,y prjudicez of by gnus ti a;, all the concealed rancour i from big. 111) ' `•• . 4 1 1 10 '1• -4 • - :90 , ' * . Z ' mot - ► e- r • • Z 1 k M° • IPlr, of Orangemen in office, and the evident determination of certain parties, by foul or fair means, to obtain a verdict against Mr. O'CoNNzkr., are nothing com pared with the outrageous, and the hitherto un exampled, conduct of the first law officer of the Crown, in challenging a brother advocate in the midst of the proceedings to. fight • a duel. Why is he not put into Bedlam at once?' Why is the representative of even-handed justice—the guardian of the law.; the man that evil-doers should look Mr. MOORE suggested that as all must regret that such an occurrence had taken place, an opportunity should be given to both parties to become reconciled with each other by a mutual explanation. The gold coin of the United Kingdom I take at 33,000,0001., and as 8,300,000/. were held by the banks against their issues, there remains 24,700,0001. to add to the 55,000,0001. of paper; thus making the entire amount of the currency 79,700,0001.," or some where about 31. a head for the population, - and leaving nearly six-sevenths of the annual pro duce of the country, to say nothing of the accumu lated stocks of indestructible goods unrepresented by any medium of value whatever. Need there be any wonder at the cry that money is hard to come at ? Yet Mr. HUBBARD says that a metallic currency is the only sound medium of exchange, and that gold is valuable only from its limited supply; meaning, we presume, a small supply. A sounder authority gives a somewhat different account, and more explicitly developes the mischievous working of Mr. litrunann's notions—he gives the , following statement. It is made up from averages of six years at least, in order that the erroneous representations which the accounts of one year would give might not mislead, and he commences with the six years just prior to the p.i.ssing of the Bill for the resumption of cash pay ments The CHIEF JUSTICE thanked Mr. MOORE for his suggestion, and stated that the Court felt it=elf in a very embarrassing situation ; and that the Attorney- General was the last man that ought to have allowed himself to be betrayed into any such expression as that now declared to the Cout. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that now he would not impose any condition respecting the withdrawal of the expressions which had hurt him. Mr. FITZGIBBON declared that he had never meant to impute anything tike improper motives to the At torney-General in the conduct of the trials, hut that he felt he did not exceed his duty in canvassing his conduct as a public man. After some further observations from the mutual friends of both learned gentlemen, Mr. FITZGIBBON resumed his address to the Court, which rose at a quarter to five. There is one circumstance that rendered the send ing the challenge at such a time and in such a manner especially blameable. The lady of Mr. FITZGIBBON and her child were sitting at the table nearly by the side of Mr. FITZGIBBON." up •to with fear, and the good for pro tection—to be allowed to disgrace his office, and break down a prosecution, which, if it had been the most just and imperative, could not have withstood such unmeasured folly for two days? Talk of the wild Irish ! Talk rather of the mild Saxon ; for in the whole course of the proceedings, rashness, and bigotry, and violence, and the worst passiOns, have all been displayed on one side, and that is the side of the Crown. It is impossible to form a greater contrast than that between the prosecu tors and the traversers. The latter have, in every respect, conducted themselves according to the strictest forms of law, and the most fastidious cour tesy towards the Bench and the law officers of the Crown; yet, because one of the counsel in the course of his address to the jury tells the Attorney-Gene ral some plain truths, that legal functionary flies into a passion, and insults the Court, the de fendants, and his country, by an appeal to arms. " if these things are done in the green tree, what will be done in the dry ?" If such opprobrious acts are committed in open Court, what may be committed behind the scenes ? If a list of forty-eight jurors is stolen, who will now be accused as the culprit? If 1814 to 1819 (both inclusive.) X11,11'5,000 Amount of population Average bills of exchange in circulation at one time, calculated from the amount of duty re- , • ceived by the Stamp-office, according to Mar shall's tables ....................................... ... £143,000.000 Bank of England notes .............................. 17,500,000 Country bank notes .................................... 18,000,000 " What constitutes the peculiar fitness of gold to perform the office of money ?" asks Mr. GELLIDRAND Hunnmin. " Its limited supply," he answers, and continues, "If it could be made as plentiful as brass it would no longer be used as money. Supposing that brass counters, struck at Birmingham, were per mitted to pass upon an equality with sovereigns, would not the entire currency be depreciated ?" Some men are born to greatness, some achieve great ness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. The last we conceive must have been the misfortune that has befallen Mr. HUBBARD—for misfortune it certainly is, when a man finds himself in a position `Or which he is evidently unfit. We are inclined to be very tender with Mr. lIUBBARD, for we entertain no doubt, as we have before observed, that right feel ing directed a wrong head. But really, when the happiness, or g the misery of millions is placed upon a tut ning point by a fallacious theory, it is no joke, and if ever we met with bottled nitrogen in print it is to be found in the.. inference which our quotation would SP palpably induce. It is true, there is at first sight nothing perceptible to the eye. It seems nothing but a bottle of smoke ; and, with a slight alteration we might apply a hacknied quotation to it, and say that it is— X 178,500,900 Average circulating medium, per individual ... £ Pi 0 0 Then, taking the above average as a basis, he goes on to ascertain what the circulation ought to have been, only to keep pace with the population, and what it really has been, and then exhibits the defi ciency sustained by the c oun t ry, l eav i ng h i s readers to conceive the dreadful misery that must have been experienced, whilst this crushing process was going, or rather, we should say, is going on : an Attorney-General can openly set the law of his country at defiance, while conducting a solemn in vestigation, what may be done by himself and his underlings in secret ? The impartial public, nay, even those that are 'not - al ways impar tial, will view such a scene with ab solute horror, and ask what chance any man. has for justice under such a system ? If Air. O'CoNN ELL is guilty of the charges brought against him of which we believe hi m en ti re t y i nnocent ) , h e has "The d—l's luck" in being blessed with such a 1820 to 1825 (both inclusive) Average population prosecutor. No one cares what Mr. SMITH now says or does. Ile has put himself out of the pale of civilised society, and the sooner these trials are brought to a close, by an acquittal, the better for the Crown, the Government, and the country. The Irish State trials were resumed on Tuesday, when 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, that it was a combination of two or more persons to do an illegal act, or to do a lawful act through unlawful means.• He denied the correctness of the doctrine. That proposition had been laid down by Lord DEN EA, in a case which occurred in 1832, and had been i cpeated by the same Learned Lord in a case in 1834. But it was a mere dictum and not a decision; and in 1839,w ben it was cited before Lord DENMAN hirnself, his Lordship said he did not think it a correct proposition, In the case of the King v. Forbes, better known as the bottle riot case, Chief Justice BtJSHE 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 the was to be considered a good legal authOrity. They had looked in Coxp, and all the old atitlio-: rities on the subject, without being able to dis cover any such doctrine. With respect to the two cases cited by the Attorney-General in support of the doctrine above quoted—viz., the King I, Watson, Howel's State Trials, vol. 22, and the case of the King v. Murphy, Bth Carrington and Payne, in which latter case Mr. Justice 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 misdemeanour, and therefore Mr. ,Justice BAYLEY'S decision on it must not be considered valid. In the case of the King a. Murphy, though the doctrine laid down by the Attorney-General was applicable to the facts there, it was by no means so to the fact: 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 kind. 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 'nailed Barons of England when the great charter of England's liberties was wrested from King JOHN, and to the attitude assumed by the people at the time of the Clare ek.ction. He afterwards commented, in very strong language, on the conduct of the Attorney-General, with regard to the prosecutions. He did not object to his doing his duty, but he ought to do so in a manly and straightforward manner, and not state the law incorrectly to obtain the conviction of a brother barrister, who had been an ornament to his profession for 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 charges like the present. The last ease of this kind was the charge of constructive treason brought against TOOKE and HARDY, but an English jury three times brought in a verdict of not guilty. Our Dublin Correspondent gives the result of the day's proceedings in these words : "One of the most extraordinary scenes that perhaps ever took place in a court of justice, was enacted this afternoon in the Court of Queen's Bench, between the Attorney-General and Mr. FITZGIBBON. It would seem that the good old practice, so peculiarly Irish, of settling all matters in dispute by an appeal to the pistol i•, in these degenerate days, becoming so Wien into disuse, that, to sustain the character of the law, even the law-officers of the Crown, and that too in open Court, call out "Any money for a duel !" During the progress of Mr. FITZGIBBO?i'S speech this day, the Court and Jury retired as usual about two o'clock, for refreshment. During their absence the Attorney-General was observed to convey a Rote to Mr. FITZGIBBON, which he had been writing in Court. On the return of their Lordships, Mr. FITZGIBBON applied ,to them to ascertain whether he, had,' during the progress of his address, permitted himself to make use of any improper expressions personally reflecting on the conduct of the Attorney- General, with regard to the trials. He then called on the Attorney-General to hand up to their Lord ships a note which the Attorney-General had sent over to hint. " Vapor etprkerea nihil," . . but it is vapour of so injurious a nature, that we feel compelled, in sober sadness, to add : " Sed•lethalis in oetenium, si pectore haustus." Had there ever been a period in the world when symbolic money had not been used in the change of commodities, had commerce never been able to pro ceed without the use of those means of representing value, which p9ssessed no intrinsic value in them selves; had the attempt even ever been made to do without.them, then would the fallacy which is here propounded hive had some excuse to palliate that weakness, of which wickedness is made, to apolo gise for the terrible mischief which its practical operation would accomplish —an ope ration in the monetary world which, like the deadly influence of wintry congelations upon external nature, would so contract the intercourse between nation and nation, and between man and man as to render the satisfaction of the requirements of our present refined and artificial state of existence altogether impossible—would so influence the deal ings of men as to throw back the world centuries in its experience, and would consign the poor to imme diate 'destitution and famine. If the present limited supply of gold constitutes its peculiar fitness to per form the office of money, how much more fit would it not be for that office if the supply were more limited still, and its virtue might be increased, so that just as labour daily increased the quantity of commo dities in the market, the amount of money would be so diminished that labour would speedily find itselfin a sate of • starvation, - from a want of the means through which those commodities were to be pur chased. And we suppose the author of this won derful apothegm would at length so enhance the value of his favourite gold as to cause the whole of the value of the commodities of the world to be represented by a. unit no larger than a mathematical point. 'I his would indeed be the acme of the gold theory, unless he would attain the • pinnacle of perfection, by annihilating gold altogether, 'and then, perhaps, he might effect a great good. Truly, the sublime and the ridiculous are, in some things, wondrously near neighbours. t is sometimes not a little useful, in the appre hension of a subject, to recur to the principles on which it is based, and to examine the terms by which it is expressed. Had Mr. HUBBARD taken the trouble to inquire a little into the origin and use of that of which he talks so much and so incor rectly, he would have found that the term money itself was derived from a Latin word, signi fying just one of those very Birmingham tokens which he holds in such utter contempt —a piece of metal made into a token of authority, by the im press of a public stamp—just such a thing, in fact, as, not only at Birmingham, but in almost every town in the kingdom, purchased during the war the quantity of goods which it was authorised to represent, just as a one pound note in Scotland will do now. Moreover, it may be a little news for Mr. lIUBBARD to hear— for he seems to lack information sadly on this subject —that this same term moneta, from which our term of money is derived, is neither more nor less than another form of a word, the signification of which is "to advise," and thence by secondary inference, and according to commercial usage "td inform," just as a bank note, or a bill of exchange, does in the present day. Thus we find that money consists, in fact, of tokens, of whatever substance, issued to represent value, and bearing an impress of authority, which advises or informs all men that it is receivable and payable by the State whose impress it bears. The whole story will be found in the excellent pamphlet, entitled "An Essay on Money," to which we alluded in our last, and a more clear or able exposition of a topic it has seldom been our goodfortune tomeet with. We should not have troubled out readers with so much impertinence respecting the real nature and the origin of the term money, but that we find the advo cates of a metallic currency make it the foundation of their opinions, under the conception that intrinsic value must always be given whenever commodities change hands; and the notions of a national currency which have now for many years prevailed, have so led to a contraction of the medium of exchange, as to occasion evils which, unless rectified, are likely before long to break up the very foundations of society. Mr. HUBBARD confines his notions of currency to coins and bank-note•, endeavouring to enlarge what he cannot but see is a very insufficient supply, by taking the stock of gold dormant in the Bank as a portion of that in general use. But if words mean anything, the term by which we indicate the medium of exchange im plies that which is constantly passing from hand to hand. The cash in the till of a tradesman, or the balance with the banker of the merchant,as.'well as the working st )ck of the banker himself, are all currency; but the 14,000,0001. now hoarded up in the vaults of Threadneedle-street, and intended to be kept in re serve, is no more a portion of the circulating medium than if it were sunk at the bottom of the Atlantic. The retention of this amount in the hands of the Bank not fully tends to reduce the amount of the metallic currency, but also to impede the circulation of another kind of currency, in the shape of bills of ex change, which, although held as of no account by Mr. Hun BAIt D, yet, as representing goods sold and delivered, are just as much a part of the whole stock of currency as any other representatives of value whatever. With these included in the account, the inconvenience and national loss is bad enough, but without them the aspect of things is terrible-indeed. It has been stated by several authorities that the annual produce of the country from manufactures and farming is about 470,000,0001., and we are prepared to show that this is considerably below the real amount. To effect the distribution of so much wealth Mr. HUBBARD makes out there is about 79,700,000/. He says. It appears that in the year 1838, out of 55,000,0001. of paper money assumed to have boon necessary for , working the variotN banks in the United Kingdom, about 13,000,000/. were issued upon bullion or gold coin, the remaining 42,000,000/. being it-tied upon some sort of 3eouritie3 bearing interest. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, said that if the Learned Counsel had any motion to make on the subject he had better state it upon affidavit. Mr. FITZGIBBON (vehemently)—Never. And if the Attorney-General does not hand up the note to the Court 1 will state the substance of it. Mr. FITZ.. GIBBON then stated that the Attorney-General had sent him a note, calling on him to retract. certain expres sions- which he was represented to have used in the course of his address; and which the Attorney- General considered as personally • reflecting on himself, and calling on him, if he did not retract them, to name a friend. This statement Caused the most marked sensation, surprise being the most prominent feature of it, throughout the Court. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL !aid that Mr. FITZ GIBBON had stated in his address to the Court, that he waz influenced by private motives in the conduct of the present prosecution—that he was guided in the conduct of it by his feelings as to what effect success or failure might have upon his political ad vancement, and if he withdrew the reflection thus east upon his conduct, he would be satisfied. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 1, 1844. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CIT, EDNESA Y EVENING. The Stock Mark e t this afternoon l W D lea ees off with rather a heavy appearance, COnsols being 97i tol l . Bank Stocjc did not rally, and the New Three -and-a-Half per Cents., after reach inir 102, declined to 1014 4. India Stock was Int marked 277*. The Foreign Market maintained its quiet appearance up to the close of business. S pan i sh Actives were 23 ; Portuguese . Converted, 47 ; and Colombiao, 11 ; the two latter being rather lower. Brazilian Old Stock was -at 79. Belgian Bonds realised 106; and Dutch Five per Cents., 101 to is Danish were 861. The additional transactions in Railway Shares have been these :—Birmingham' and Derby, Thirds, were 5 ; Bristol and Exeter, i to 1 ; Great North of England, 11 ; Brigh ton, 3 to 4i; and South Eastern, 14f to g, discount. Great Western, 37 ; ditto Fifths, 73 ; South Western, 361 ; CeriV• don, 24 to 3 ; Manchester and Leeds, 49 ditto, New, 184; Norwich and Brandon, 2h Rouen tad Havre; 6 ; and York and North Midland, New, A7' premium. Australasia Bank Shares were 4 to 5,1 premium; and Colonial, 13! discount. (Venni The Sun of Last Night.) In the LlYerpoel Cotton Market yesterday the sales were 20,000 halo, including 15,000 American on speculation, and all sorts tinder " good" were id. per lb higher than on Friday. In Shares a fair business • was done. Eastern Counties were 104 ; Grand Junction, 232 ; Great North of England, 87 ; Great Western, 1093; Birmingham, 243 ; Manchester and Birmingham, 393; Manchester and Leeds, 110; Midland 'Counties, 91: Paris and Rouen, 318. Accounts have been received from the Cape.of Good Hope to the sth December,.and from Natal to the 19th November. At the latter place matters remained in nearly the same. po sition, the farmers being dissatisfied at the unce r t a i n s t a t e o f the tenure of the land they occupied. It was expected, how ever, that the return of the Commissioner, Mr. Cloete, from his excursion to Panda, would gradually tend to allay the feeling. It is satisfactory to find that the parties connected with the tobacco trade are continuing their exertions to obtain a reduc tion of the duty payable upon this article of import. State- Ments, founded upon actual !facts, have long been • placed ,before the Chancellor of the Exchequer, present as well as past, showing, beyond - all question, that the present tax affords such Immense advantages to the • encou ragement of smuggling, that a reduction to a low impost, say one shilling per pound, would, in a very short time, yield more than the present duty. The Chatnhers of Commerce of Liverpool, of Glas gow, and of other principal places in this coun try, have backed the dealers in the article in London in their attempts to obtain the concession sought for, and . from the teno r of the reply . of the Ch ance ll or to the deputa tions that have 'waited upon him on this subject, we believe we may assert with confidence, that there will be an altera tion in the duty imposed upon tobacco made in the coming session, though not to the extent desired by .the trade. As might have been expected, the information com municated yesterday from America of the decision of the American Equity (a misnomer, surely) Court, by which. a trust deed, involving large sums of mone y d ue to the Bank of England and others, was set aside on the impudent plea of undue preference, has created a vast deal of indignation in commercial and moneyed circles in the City. The Funds have been mach the same to-day, nor is ar material alteration expected until Parliament ie-opens. The Government broker has made no purchase to-day. Consols for present transfer have realised 97; to 974, and for Time about corresponding rates. Exchequer Bills are 69s- to 665., and India Bonds, 81s. to 83s. premium. The New Three and Half per Cents. are 1014 to 102, a purchase having im proved them. Bank Stock is down to 1954 and 1944. India Stock is firm at 2774 to 278. The Foreign bonds have been flat. The settlement is going off easily. Spanish Five per Cents. are 23 to 4, and the Three per Cents. 31a to -. Mexican are 34 to Por tuguese Converted realised 47/ to Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 1014 to A. The Railway Shares are firm. Brighton look very buoyant, and South Easterns have fallen back a trifle. • MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, JAN. 30.—There is no change to notice in our market to-day, the demand still coutinnes good, and prices are fully supported.

NOTICE TO MARINERS. LIGHT IN THE PIOMI3INO CHANNEL, MEDI TERRANEAN.

The great topics of conversations in the French capital were the results of the debate, and, among others, the resignation of five Royalist Depu ties.

Your open adherence to their principles, when a -dignified-reserve ought to have guided your conduct, compels us to declare that we will not support the Royal Agricultural Society of England if you remain any longer President."

DRURY LANE THEATRE. We had the pleasure of again witnessing Win C4arlsa Kean's performa n c e o f Ri c h ar d 111 ,at this theatrd , evening, and certainly, in the present day, the stage does not possess his equal. His conception of the OW ratter js perfect.
