That from the Printed Papers recently laid before the Proprie tors on the subject of Sinde, it is the opinion of this Court that the proceedings of the Government of India which ended in the dethrone- Ment, exile, and imprisonment of the' Am^ers, and the seizure of their "'until' and private property, were uncalled for, impolitic, and unjust. " 2. That this Court does therefore most earnestly recommend to the Court of Directors the immediate adoption of such steps, by repre- Reatation to her Majesty's Government, or otherwise, as may cause all practicable reparation to he made for the injustice already committed, and enforce the abandonment of a line of policy inconsistent with good faith, and subversive of the interests of the British rule in India.

DANIEL O ' CONNELL AND OTHERS. Mr. Witerssine, the counsel for the editor of the Nation, commenced his address to the jury at a quarter past ten o'clock, and said he wished that Mr. Duffy had selected from among his brethren of the bar, and among whom there could be found so many possessing superior talent, one more com petent to advocate his cause ; his inferiority to others was greatly increased by the disparity which existed between his humble abilities and the arduous task which was committed to him to discharge. Nevertheless, being assured of the con scientious feelings of the jury, being convinced of their intelli gence, and satisfied of their anxiety candidly to hear whatever might be urged on the behalf of the accused, from whatever quarter it might proceed, he had come to the resolution to un dertake the present duty. The crime alleged against the several defendants was a crime of a peculiarly defined character. If that peculiar crime, as it was explained and described on the face of the indictment, be not clearly and distinctly proved, no matter what might be the other supposed offences of the traversers—no matter what might be, even by possibility, suggested that they might be guilty of—they would be bound to acquit them of the present indictment. To find men guilty of one charge because it *4 - be surmised that, by pos sibility, they may be accused or gliitty of another, would be to violate the law—to violate the justice of the case—from the strict line of that duty they (the jury) were not to swerve. He would say it with deference that they were not to re member any one word which was spoken or written by the traversers, or by any one of them, which was not proved in the indictment against them on the present occasion. The crime of which the traversers was accused was that of a conspiracy. In the proper acceptation of that word there was nothing criminal in it—it simply meant having one speech —that there was one prevailing idea, and that of com mon consent among men, for the accomplishment of a common object—but a community of sentiment on political subjects was not criminal. Associations existed in the present day, literary, scientific, religious, and benevolent—the object of all was to accomplish a given end, and for this they concen trate their opinions and strength, that they might bring them to,hear on a particular or a common object—and which otherwise . they neYer could accomplish. Gpvernments, it was Well!lsnown, Were always biassed against, and adverse to, popular movements—,they_were, always repugnant to change —, s ao that very great efforta = a great concentration of .opipion was necessary to ,fil?tain from them that which parties might, regard as 'beneficial.' rt means thai the'"viltsest' reforms were effected, and the grandest trumphs in humanity were accomplished, and the most righteous and wisest projects had been achieved. In ordinary cases, where men are charged with particular crime s , they are to be proved guilty by what they themselves had done ; and the evidence by which they were to be convicted was to be strict and rigid, and the facts prescribed were to be all prescribed by law. But, as was seen in this crime of conspiracy, one man is affected not by what he has done himself—not by what he has spoken himself—not by what he has committed himself, but by what others may have done or spoken—that is, some may suffer not the consequences of their own acts or of their own speeches, but they may suffer the consequences of the conduct of others. That men should suffer the consequences of their own conduct was natural and right, because a man can control either his own language or his own conduct; but it was difficult to understand why persons should be held responsible for the acts of others over whose movements they could have no control—whose tongues they can neither silence nor cheek—over whose actions they have neither authority nor power. If in ordinary cases that ob servation was founded in good sense, it was of more weight when applied to the charge of political conspiracy. It war, therefore, necessary for the jury to be on their guard; for why should the incautious language, or the improper actions of one man be visited on another, because that the other man may happen to be an obnoxious individual ? The traversers were accnsed of having conspired to exei:e discontent and disaffection among her Majesty's subjects. He should have occasion to comment on every part of the indictment. The terms of that indictment were, t. that the ac cused had devised to raise and create discontent and disaffec tion amongst the liege subjects of the Queen, to promote feelings of towards her Majesty's subjects in England, to excite disaffection in the army, and to cause large meet ings to be held for the unlawful purpose of obtaining, by means of the intimidation to be thereby caused—by means of the demonstration of great physical force at such assemblies, to bring into hatred and disrepute the Courts of Law established case the jury had the good sense to aequ:t the prisoner. In the next case referred to an action was brought againt the military. The Learned Judge said, " If they acted on a warrant they were themselves under the circumstances of the case justi fied ; in truth, these persons would be entitled to their acquittal, acting as they did in pursuance of the warrant, although the parties granting the warrant might not." The next case referred to conspiracy, and in support of the plea evidence was required as to whether a person felt any alarm during the proceedings of the meeting. He was asked whether he would go with these persons to get a big loaf for a little one. He said they would have reform in Parliament, and make their way to London to effect that. purpose; and that they would make use of the property of propertyf tlownseelpeeirrsoranasrephrocaesedetld'ety went a person who signed a paper which h o R on e i Ystbel Evidenceneti Y o o who a t 4 l i was . e About ma h lago d i sgt magistrates, ay 7 te eb o y expressing the terror and alarm which he experienced in consequence of those parties meeting for drill. It was also proved in evidence (page 96) that im pressionsmade In page 9 on the inha bi - one o Hunt te presided. f these counts drillings em i t terror t iis meeting gs and alarm whicha n w are alleged, which are stated to be clandestine, but whe tfn thet by charge a o a r f g ee whe ther they are clandestine or not I give no opinion ; but if done for the purpose of overawing the Government, or ex citing tumult or resistance to the citil power, they would he unlawful. It is also alleged that divers of those persons assembled unlawfully, armed • with stones and various weapons, to carry out this conspirocy." In page 102, he says—" If they came armed, so as to terrify other per sons, that in itself would be an unlawful assembly." His Lordship then referred to the memorable case of Lord George Gordon, and the vast meeting of people iu St. George's-fields, and said—" There were called toge ther an immense number of persons in St. George's-fields. (Kennett was then Lord Mover of London.) They met for the ostensibly legal purpose of petitioning Parliament not to re peal the Acts passed in favour of Roman Catholics. Lord Gordon went with their petition to the House of Commons. They accompanied him the r e. Th ere was no thi ng am i ss i n that"-70,000 or 80,000 people ineetinK in London, and speeches being made in a very vehement, if not in a very vio lent manner, and then going en masse to the House of Com mons, was not amiss—" except it was indiscreet, because it had the appearance of being tumultuous; and if they were not satisfied with the result, some of them might break forth into acts of violence." They were not satisfied ; they broke out, and we know the result—confusion in London for an immense number of days. He (Mr. White side) would not trouble their Lordships by stating the judgment of the Court on the matter of drill ing. In the case of the King v. Hunt, 3d Barnewall and Alderson, the parties were indicted for a conspiracy. The evidence was not given in the Report ; but the result was given, which was that the accused were acquitted of the con spiracy, but found guilty of being at an illegal assembly. He .(Me. Whiteside) had procured a,report of ; evidence, with the view of showing en wh a t ev id ence th e C our t a n d jury came to such a eorichision: 'The: Lisained Gealerriati'thin produced_ a history-oLthn life of,Herdy Hunt, which .contaiPeit,all... ac-• couptof his trial, from,whi c h h e (M r , W,) rea d the evidence of several witnesses exatiiined` fur the prosee'ulidn.' The-evis dente was to this effect—that a meeting was held in Spital fields, London, at which aeeries of resolutions were adopted. The first of these was, that if the grievances of the people were not redressed within a given day, and the Parliament re formed, they (the persons composing the meeting) would be all released from their allegiance. That Mr. Hunt vore sided at that meeting, and afterwards at a meeting in Man chester, at which the same resolution was proposed and carried. It was also resolved that they should meet together to elect re presentatives for Manchester. They did so without any writ fr"m the C rown , an d t h e mag i strates declared that meet i ng illegal. On the night of the 14th of August, 1819, they met on White Moss, where they were drilled. Two policemen were present, and having been discovered were severely beaten, but their lives w ere spare d on their promising never to be King's men again, and never to name the King's name during their lives. On the morning of the 16th they mot in Man chester. They came to the place of meeting with flags and banners, marching in military array, with sound of bugle, &o. Threats of making a Moscow •f Manchester were heard. Several mottos of a seditious character were inscribed on their banners, and great terror and alarm was ex cited. A controversy arose 8n the trial as to how far all the persons at the meeting were affected by the inscriptions on the banners. Justice Bayley, who charged the jury, ob served on this point—" With respect to the banners, these only who showed that they were favourable to any motto in scribed on them by carrying them, or immediately marching under them, could be considered as Lable to any penalty which the illegal nature of any of the inscriptions might warrant." He (Mr. Whiteside) called particular attention to that part of the charge, because in the present case evidence was adduced of an arch that was erected, on which was a motto, and that motto was brought. forward as evidence of the illegal intentions of persons going to that assembly. Having commented with severity on the resolutions passed at the meetings at Spital fields, the case went to the jury ; and on that charge and those facts they acquitted the defendants of the crime of conspiracy, and found them guilty of attending an unlawful assembly. The Learned Gentleman next referred to the case of the Queen v. Vincent, 9 Carrington and Payne, p. 91, a case which the Attorney-General did not cite.

Now, it was that single crime of conspiracy that the jury had to try—they were to ascertain whether the accused were guilty of having entered into a conspiracy to do the precise acts, the very speci fied things described and particularised in that most extraordi nary, unprecedented, and unheard-of indictment. The Attorney-General, whom, he thought, had stated his case with great moderation and temper, and, he would add, with firmness and candour—the Attorney-General commenced his address, as might have been expected, by a statement of the principles and the authorities which he said were necessary to explain the subject-matter of the accusation. As to general principles, they afforded but little opportunity for dispute. It was the ap plication of those princiules to the facts of the ease on which he should comment. As to the short definition of conspiracy that had been given, no doubt could be entertained. Conspiracy a legal object by illegal means, or r iean s t n th il e leg a a c i co o m b r e l c ishin tb g y quoted (the King v. James) legal mean s . The first case had not the least analogy to the present accusation. It was an indictment against a bank rupt, charging him with conspiracy to conceal a part of his personal estate, and that an illegal act had been committed. Lord Denman stated that that indictment ought to show that an unlawful act had been done by unlawful means. Certain it was that the indictment in the present instance did not so demonstrate. In the second case adverted to, several per sons dined together ; they pursued that common object with industry and perseverance—( Laughter) they agreed to sup together ; they confederately pursued that common object also with perseverance and in d ustry : t h ey fi na lly determined 'to go to the play, and, havi ng gone to t h e p l ay , one of them having a rattle, rattled it ; another hav i ng a w hi s tl e , whistled it ; a third had a neck of a b roken bottle, and he suffered his ultra-Protestant principles to go so far that he threw it on the stage at the theatre. They were all tried for a conspiracy. The grand jury ignored the bills. The Attorney-Gene ral, nothing daunted, referred the - matter to a jury. The formidable case of conspiracy was accordingly tried, and no verdict was returned, except that acquitting Mr. Browelow. The next case he conceived to be more applicable. It was the King v. Murphy, and it was stated—" If you believe the acts done were done without a common design between the parties, this charge of conspiracy cannot be supported. The common design—that is to say, to do an illegal act specified—is the root of the charge ; if you find that these two persons pursued by their acts the same obj ec t, o ft en by the same means , one performing one part of th e ac t, and another performing another part of the same act, so as to completed it, with a view to accomplishing a certain object, you are at lib ert y to draw the conclusion that the parties were engaged in a conspiracy to effect that object." He had to observe that the object to be gained was in the case just cited an illegal object, because the•persons agreed together to prevent the collection of a certain rate, and to obstruct an indivi vidual in his duty—that is, the collection of the rate—and to take from him the property he had seized. The object, he repeated. was an illegal one, and it was declared that one per son_ at one moment having done part of the act , and another having contrived to complete the act, they (the jury) then thewere at liberty to come to the conclusion as to conspiracy, and persons were accordingly found guilty. The ne xt case q u o ted by the Attorney- General was to be found in Knig ht, Carring ton, and Payne's Reports. The first count declared that an unlawful and seditious opposition to her Majesty's Government had been committed. The second count charged the parties with having " induced a number of persons to assemble and meet together. for the purpose of exciting terror and alarm in the minds of her Majesty's subjects, and by means of such terror and alarm to procure great changes to be made in the Constitution of the realm as by law established, and to annoy and alarm, disturb and prejudice, divers subjects of the Queen, in the peaceable enjoyment of their property." In that case certain policemen were asked whether, in point of fact, anybody in the kingdom had complained to them of alarm being inspired in their minds by the general character of the meetings. In the course of evidence, a Mr. Roberts stated that several persons complained that were alarmed at those meetings, and requested him to send fur military assistance. On that evi dence the parties were found guilty. Their Lordships would please to observe that according to authority in that case, it became competent to ask each policeman examined in the present matter of conspiracy, not only whether anything occurred which was calculated to excite alarm, but whether that alarm had filled the minds of certain persons during the proceed ings which took place. The next case to which reference had been made was one in which the accused (Stone) was charged with conspiring against one Jackson, a person who died from taking poison. Evidence was given to connect the accused with another man of the same name residing in France. Jackstn had received a letter on the subject.. and Lord Kenyon at first conceived that the act of another person could not be given in evidence against the prisoner. Mr. Justice Buller was on the bench, and on the second day Lord Kenyon said he was satisfied that the letter was admis sible. That letter was given in evidence, and the jury, im pressed with a sense of the danger of finding one man guilty for the act of another, gave a verdict of acquittal. The nest case to which reference had been frequently made, was the King v. Redhead, to be found in Howe's State Trials. In that case the matters relied on in proof of the conspiracy, were explained by proper averments. The Attorney-General had relied on a certain passage to which he (M r . Whi tes id e ) would take the liberty of directing attention. It was to this effect :—" If the conduct of the defendant had been merely a speculation of his own, it would be a dif f erent thing ; but when it was set forth that there was a large as sem bl y i n the ease, it becomes necessary to kno x whether he did not address them with a view to inflame their minds and their passions ; if it could be proved that the act of combining, the resells which took place, ard the providing of arms arose from a pee motive, they might acquit." In the cage in question, the prie soner was found guilty. Now ha did not perceive the justice of that distinction drawn by his Learned Friend, in reference to that case—namely, that a great man might broach opinion's L nen „ t l i t ied is ge n in t a necessary," case recorded in the which a man in another position in life could not broach. There was no law supporting such a distinction. and his the 32d I vol.a ng Learned Friend had not stated the true doctrine of the Consti tution.o n ," said 'Mr. Justice Bulls}', " to elicit He would now direct the attention of the jury to Ila S g t e at o e f positive evid ence f rom persons who heard the conspirators consult; if you should find that a certain plan was entered into , and you shall be satisfied from T an ria e l m s what was done that there was a conspiracy to do certain illegal acts, you may Ora draw the Conclusieu Of conspiracy." In that Mr. WHITEms saki it was another case of the same na ture in the same book. In this case the defendants were charged, first, with having combined together maliciously to assemble for an unlawful purpose. The second count charged them with having assembled in immense numbers, armed with weapons; and with having caused great terror and alarm to the peaceable and well-disposed subjects of her Majesty, for the unlawful and seditious purpose of offering unlawful and seditious opposition to the Government and Constitution, and to the terror and alarm of the subjects of the Queen. Another count charged them with assembling with clubs, tic. The 12th count charges them with being at an unlawful assembly ; and the 13th for a riot. He wanted to show that, in this case the same result followed, and that those counts which were not found in the present indictment were those on which, according to the authority of the Learned Judge and the finding of the jury, a verdict was had. The Learned Gentle man then read portions of the evidence given in the case of the Queen v. Vincent, to show that violent language had been used at a public meeting at which the defendants were present, and that the inhabitants were put into a state of great terror and alarm. Vincent, in his speech, had described the system of Government as cannibal and atrocious—that it doomed men, women, and children to toil in factories, in starvation, and nakedness, to increase the wealth of the aristocracy. The snowball of Chartism was increasing in size, and he called on the people of Newport to roll it down on their oppressors and crush them. He had also threatened the magistrates with violence, and wanted to purchase a large quantity of arms—musk e t s , cut l asses, pistols, &c.—from a commercial traveller, name d J o h nson. Baron Alderson said that any meeting assembled under such circumstances, or likely to produce danger to the tranquility of the neighbourhood, was an unlawful assembly. He then alluded to the petition to obtain the five points of the Charter, which points went to a length . that sensible persons wou ld t hi n k i ncons i stent w i th t h e Constitution of the country. Gentlemen, nothing is more unfair than to take a pa r t o f a speech without taking the whole. In doing so you will be unable to judge justly, for there may be many pas sages which modity others, and change the entire meaning of a sentence. " God be thanked," said the Learned Judge who presided over the Ch ar ti st tr i a l s, " t h at t h e C onst i tut i on d oes not forb id men to m ee t peacea bl y to pet i t i on t h e Q ueen. I t is the inalienable right of the subject, and surely it is not now to be usurped." It i s not evidence to be given against a man for a conspiracy, namely, that he attended a meeting, if that meet ing be not illegal. Neither are the acts of another who may have been guilty of violence to be offered in evidence against a man for attending a legal meeting. He is not accountable for such acts, and cannot be made so. Nor is it evidence of a conspiracy that a number of persons propounded the same doc trines (or the accomplishment of the same object. You must convict them of one and the same conspiracy, and of one and the same act—in different counts, if you will—but it must be proved that they have combined to effect an illegal act, or a legal act by illegal means. On the banners which the Man chester rioters bore before them was inscribed—" Englishmen, the blood of your brothers reddens the streets of Preston, and the murderers thirst for more ;" and on another banner was in culcated the observation of peace, law, and order ; but it was decided that such an inculcation was absurd, as their acts were to be evidence of their intentions, and their acts did not correspOnd with the words which expressed those intentions. Let us see, before we go further, what you are to find the party guilty of. Is it that they have agre-d together for the furtherance of a common object? No. But that they con federated and conspired, by a complete union of purpose, and a premeditated plan, to do any of those acts charged in' the in dictment. ONE CHARGE. DR. CULVER WELL'S LECTURE TO YOUNG MEN. •' How beat the fickle fabric to support Of mortal man ; in healthful body how A healthful mind the longest to maintain.'' would remain unslietut bed. But suppose twelve hundred or twelve thousand such men met and passed similar resolutions, the Minister would begin to look about him—would see that the public mind was stirred, and would consent to discuss remon strances which he had hitherto treated with contempt. A meeting of twelve thousand such men would produce important results ; and yet no man, no legal otlicer of the Crown, would dare to treat them as conspirators. They would not be con sidered conspirators even if one of their number spoke rashly, or if the incendiary or the spy should have been among them uttering treason and seditio n . N ow , th e h um bl er c l asses o f so ciety had the same right to meet and discuss their grievances as persons in the rank of the gentlemen oft he jury, but the opinions of the men of the multitude were not egitival nt in individual im portance, and therefose they were obliged to make up the deficiency of moral force by superior numbers. But then, if meetings of those classes, hossever numerous, were more orderly than the House of Commons—although, as that august body was now sitting, he must not allude to it—( A laugh)—if the English reporters were astonished at the po. liteness of Irish manners—at the moderation of the savage, who occupied this portion of the United Kingdom, then the meetings were as legal as any that might be formed of theie more elevated fellow-subjects. Ile would now call the at tention of the jury to some meetings which had been he'd in England—held under the nose of the Attorney-General, and at tke door of the Primo Minister. The first meeting to which he should allude was that which had been mentioned by Mr. Ross, the Crown witness. It was attended by two hundred thousand of the lower classes—for it would be an insult to call them rabble—and was met for the purpose of discussing the severe sentence which had been passed on the Dorsetshire labourers. Mr. Ross stated that he never had seen such a meeting— a small party of 200,000 men, march ing in procession to the Prime Minister's office, with a petition which it took twenty teen to lift, on the subject of a sentence which had been pronounced by one of the Judges of the land ! How was that meeting headed? By a clergyman of the Esta blished Church, dressed in his sacred robes. He (the Learned Counsel) mentioned this fact, because one of the charges against Mr. O'Connell was, that he attended a meeting in his red robe of office. Now he (the Learned Counsel) thought that that fact should be taken as an indication of Air. O'Connell', wish to preserve peace and order. No man in office would, if bent on disturbance, go to a meeting decked in the insignia of authority ; he was sure that if their Lordships—with re spect be it spoken—should ever feel inclined to encourage riot, they would never do so decked in the judicial ermine.-- (Loud laughter.) But the meeting to which he had alluded marched through the streets of London, end he would read to the jury some account of its proceedings. ( The Learned Coun sel here read reports from the London papers of the meeting. and other great meetings held in England, and then proceeded.) He would now draw their attention to the way in which the Evening Mail spoke of the great meeting at Hillsborough, at which 75,000 men attended. The people who appeared at that meeting were called " the brave men of the North." He liked them to be called so,. far they were a brave body of men. They travelled many miles to ittend she meeting at Hillsborough, and' - theY . a.seinbted:at;thafrireetirien siteh nnithers'for the purposes :•eif declaring that by,Oysi . eal foree,” the - union should be main-, • tainted, and that they mould resist its repeal, with their lives . fortunes.'" 414' .tliat.4t, these -75,000 men met again for the self-same purpose, and exhibited the same bold and determined front, that the Attorney and Soli citor-Generals would not be very mu-th obliged to them ?—( A laugh.) Did they think that if these men met again, and expressed their determination, not only to uphold the union, but to support the Government in the prosecution of those who sought to repeal that measure, that the Attorney-Gene ral would not be most gratified? Did they think that they would not hear from the Attorney-General the expression of his thanks to these brave men of the north for the honour they had conferred on himself individually, and upon the Government whose unworthy servant he wag—(Laughter) for having, by the demonstration of physical force, expressed their determination to uphold the Church and State, and maintain the sacred institutions of the country ?—( Laughter.) There was not one of those 75,000 men that could not handle a gun ably and well, and the Attorney-General, at the. - bottom of his heat t was glad of it; and could they doubt that if these 75,000 well-armed and well-disciplined men had met and declared that the union between this country and England was a grievance and must be repealed—did they doubt, he would ask, that an Act repealing the union might not, in a very short space of time, be the law of the land? But they did meet in " border fashion," and they declared they were ready to uphold the union ; and with the view of giving cou !age to the Queen's Ministers to oppose the repeal of that mea sure, they stated their determination of being ready to sustain them with their lives and fortunes. If that had been a meeting composed of 500 persons, of what value would such a declaration have been? If it were a meeting of 5,000, or of even 15,000, its value would be doubtful, as re garded this expression of feeling in favour of the Government; but it was of the first consequence when it came from a well organised body, such as the 75,000 men who met at Hills borough. No doubt the Learned Solicitor-General would endeavour to draw a difference between the meeting at I fills borough and those which took place at Tara at Mullaghmast; but he was sure that twelve high-miaded and honourable men would not allow paltry, personal, or political considerations, to influence them when they were called upon to give their opinion as to the character of these respective meetings. Ile would now direct their attention to the evidence which had been given in respect to the several repeal meetings. The wit nesses examined were chiefly policemen, and one or two maeis trates ; and yet every one of them admitted that peace and order prevailed at all the meetings ; and this, if it had been necessary, could have been fully established with hundreds of witnesses far the defence. And here, he might observe, that there was not one witness who was able to say that these meetings pro duced the slightest fear or annoyance to either the resident lentry, the merchants, or the tiadeis Who " resided in the ocalities where they took place. In fact, all, from east to west, was order and perfect tranquillity. But the Learned Attorney-General contended that the more quiet the meeting., the more criminal—(a laugh)—so that if the question which they had to try was the insanity of an individual, the best evidence, according to the dictum of the Learned Attorney- General, that could be given in support of it, would be to show that the party had always acted in a perfectly sensible and correct manner, and that in truth his intellect was wholly and entirely unclouded.—( A laugh.) If those men who assembled at the meetings in question had been drunk, and if they had broken each ether's heads, why that would have been all right. It would have been the good old fashion and system by which heretofore Irishmen settled their differences ; but the moment they lay aside their national characteristics, and soberly and steadily meet in large numbers to obtain a great object, then down comes the At torney-General arid immediately calls for Coke and Hale to see if he cannot out of this peaceable and orderly proceeding make out something that will ensure a conviction for conspiracy, and this he is to do by means of the gentleman with the scissors —(A laugh)—and then by stringing this speech and that together so involve both speakers and journalists in one common crime as will completely overwhelm them, and pre vent them from appearing at a meeting for the future. It would be absurd to present petitions of the meetings held in August to the Home of Commons. when perhaps there might not be thirty persons present—they were, therefore, necessarily reserved until such an impression might be made by an accumulated mass, as well as by the number and variety of the signatures, as could not fail to make an impression on the understanding and feeling of Parliament. Now as to the Mullaghmast meeting—and here he would ask, was it a lawful or unlawful meeting? What was the test to try the legality or illegality of a meeting? They would say, no doubt, [that it was to be tested by the acts of the speakers— by the speeches made—by the general conduct of those assembled—whether they had separated quietly, and whether they returned to their homes peaceably. was the duty of the jury to look at those features, and look at them with tke eye of charity—to look at them as freemen, anxious for the rights and privileges of freemen. They were not to view things with the critical eye of a lawyer—they were not to And men guilty who assembled for a peaceable purpose ; nor were they to be looking for something different from what really appeared. Would the great meeting at Hillsborough, at which the Marquis of Downshire and other noblemen and in fluential persons attended, be deemed illegal because some ob scure criminal, a spy, an incendiary, went there—some ballad seller from Belfast, to sell and circulate treason or slander ? Surely it would not. Such was the case of the Mullaghmast meeting. Did Mr. O'Connell. or any other of the tra versers, cause to be published, printed, or circulated, the do cument which was produced in Court, and received in evidence? They did not. They had produced on the table here the printer who bad published everything for the Association, and he brought with him the only large placard which was pub lished for the Mullaghmast meeting, and which they directed to be printed, and for which he was paid. Were, then, the traversers to be tried, sentenced, and condemned, upon the act of a man whom even the police did not know—who cir culated a document giving a description of something which occurred, no one knew when or where—a document received in evidence to prove the common plot set forth in the indict ment—as evidence of a common union to promote a com mon object—to promote and effect a preconcerted plan ? And yet there was not one particle of evidence pro duced to prove that the paper was printed by the Associa tion, or by their direction. Why did not the Attorney-Gene ral produce the man who printed that scandalous and wicked document ?" Why bring forward a document not proved by its printer? Why keep back his name? And were the jury to fasten the guilt of such a man upon the travellers— to fasten upon them a lying, slanderous document, which they never saw? He complained, then, of keeping back such a witness, and which the Attorney-General should have pro duced. It was not their business to criminate themselves, nor should it be done by any party but by clear and unequi vocal proof; and although that piece of evidence was received by the Court, it should net be received by the jury, unless it was proved that it was part of a common, a preconcerted plan ; for he would lay it down as law, that if that document was even the act of one of the eight traversers, it should not be received as evidence against the others, unless they believed it was, by the assent and consent of all, a part of a precon certed plan. The Court adjourned for refreshment, for a few minutes. At five minutes past two the Court sat again, and Mr. WLIITESIDE resumed his address.—Mr. Fitgihbon had given a full statement of what might be considered the best passages of Mr. O'Connell's speeches, and he (Mr. Whiteside) would now take a view of what might be considered the worst. Many of those speeches had not been given in evidence, but the nature of the indictment was such that the prosecution were enabled to put in a vast number of papers containing reports of speeches, and the jury had to distinguish between those that were proved and those that were not. It was also well known that many speeches were reported which never had been delivered—particularly in the way of pectic ex tracts which the speaker never uttered, but which some times found their way into the written speech. In ono of those reported addresses Mr. O'Connell was represented alluding to the battle of the Boyne, and defeat of the Irish people there. It was singular enough that Sir Walter Scott, in alluding, on one occasion, to the battles of his coon • trymen in "flood and field," admonished the Scots not to fall into the mistake of their ancestors, but to be steady, firm, and united, in their tilorel agitation, and not to be divided and wayescog its their ancestors were in their physical conflicts. This was precisely the meaning of Mr. O'Connell's allusion to the battle of the Boyne. He encouraged the people to firm ness in the political struggle in which they were engaged, by a reference to historical facts, His language plainly meant no thing more nor lest than this—" By their want of perseverance your anoestors lost the memorable battle of the Boyle; in the constitutional struggle in which you ar e engaged, be ; sure that you preserve perseverance and unity, and you will Judge PERRIN—You don't mean to say that they must find them guilty of every overt act ? Mr. WHITESIDE—No, my Lord. Judge PERRIN—I was afraid that the jury might misunder stand you, Mr. Whiteside. Mr. WHITESIDE—I thank you, my Lord. I say that they must find them guilty of the whole of the conspiracy, and that these acts were the result of a fixed and settled confederation. Judge Buit - ros—ls that report of the Chartist trials authen ticated? Mr. WITITESIDE—It has been published, my Lord, by Mr. Feargus O'Connor. He says that he is quite satisfied that he has been tried by law, and punished by law. The report was taken in short-hand. There has been no evidence pro duced that the acts charged were done in accordance with a previously-arranged plan. My client, Mr. Duffy wished to accomplish the repeal of the Act of Union, which I need not tell you is a perfectly legal Act, for no one Parliament can make a law which another cannot repeal—otherwise the Legislature would be cramped, and posterity would be bound by a number of unjust and oppressive laws. The act of Mr. Duffy is re ceived in evidence, because he is on trial. But it my client agrees with a party for a legal purpose, aided by legal means, he is not accountable for the intemperate conduct of others who are not on their trial, nor is that conduct evidence of guilt. Would the meeting at Trim have been less illegal if a thousand persons more or less had stayed away, and contented themselves with reading the speeches at home ? Could it be said that the Hillsborough meeting of seventy-five thousand persons, headed isy Lord Downshire in person, was illegal? To agitate for a repeal of the union was perfectly legal, and, therefore, the numbers who attended meetings for effecting that object were only important is so far as they gave alarm to peaceable persons living in the vicinity of the several places of meeting. The meetings mentioned in the indictment had excited no alarm; and he would ask, was the Salicitor-General prepared to affirm the monstrous doctrine which had been laid down by his Learned Colleague,that the more perfect the tranquillity which prevailed at a meeting, the more dangerous was its character—the more they f writ the determination not to break the law, the more palpable the indications of crime and conspiracy ? He (the Learned Counsel) would say, that meetings of such a nature were always ° disliked by Kings and th e i r Mi n i s t ers ; f or men b orn to command disliked the voice of the people when raised in murmur and complaint. Such sounds disturbed the tranquillity of a Court; and Ministers of the Crown, ex cept when they could make popular ferment a stepping s stone to power, disliked meetings called to . cgmpl;„iu of grievances.

THE Public are respectfully informed that the Warehouse tbr the Sale of the above 'PATENT IIItUSIIES Is now opened, where the various kinds applicable to the patent may be obtained. Also, wholesale and for exportation—Hair Brushes, for their penetrating properties and pleasing action, which are highly recommended, and allowed to be a. decided improvement--Clothes Brushes, for their flexibility and conformity to the shape in their use, KS well as preserving the nap of the finest cloth—Horse Brushes (truly the groom's friend) ; this brush stands unrivalled, it k diffi cult adequately to describe the advantages obtained by its flexibility when in use. The Flesh, Shoe, Stove, and other Brushes, possess great advantages over the ordinary stilt backs, for it will be found • that all brushes hitherto made wear out at the extremities, leaving little of the middle worn, whereas the PATENT FLEXIBLE-BACK BRUSHES wear alike throughout. THE ADELAIDE HOTEL, LONDON-BRIDGE, MR. FOOK S, having been instructed by the Proprietor to DISPOSE OF this valuable Concern by PRIVATE CONTRACT, solicits the attention of those who may be desirous of embarking in a FIRST-RATE ESTABLISHMENT, and which, by ordinary application, will always be a lucrative one. The ADELAIDE HOTEL is admirably situate for business, conve nience, and pleasure, in the most crowded thoroughfare of the Me tropolis of the world, at the foot of the noblest bridge, on the banks of its finest river. At this spot arrive from every habitable division of the earth, the prince, the merchant, the soldier, the sailor, the tra veller of every grade. From this Hotel passengers embark for France, Italy, Holland, Belgium, Germany, &c., and to all parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, and America ; indeed, without hyperbole, it may be termed " The Starting-point of the Globe." To every fashion able Watering-place and Town of importance or public resort, the access fl - oin hence is as ready as it is easy, whether by steam-boat or by railway. Every minute in the day brings conveyances to and from the east, west, north, and south parts of this great City, and the com munication with all the railways is continuous and certain. The situation is without a rival ; land and water vie with each other in offering the greatest advantages fur securing a home and foreign con nexion, and an extensive and profitable business.

DANGEROUS FREAK.--Abollt two o'clock on Tues day morning, two pcmons on horseback galloped at a most furious pace up the Waterloo-road, towards the bridge. To arrive at the bridge first appeared the object of contention, or probably to see who would get through the gate first. One succeeded in passing through the south-west gate, which was open, but the south-east -gate being closed, the other horseman dashed the poor animal against the gate with such force as not only to break one of the horse's legs, but abso lutely to force down the gate, snapping asunder the iron hinges and the bolt. Fortunately the reckless riders both escaped unhurt, but the poor animal was flaunt to be so much injured that it was finual necessary to kill it. The riders were taken to the police-station in Tower-street, and gave their names and address, from which it appeared they were two tradesmen moving in a respectable sphere of life, and haying become inebriated had thus wantonly indulged in this illy and dangerous freak. )3OTANICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.—The ordinary meeting of this Society was held last evening, Adam Gerard, Esq., in the chair. littious donations to the library and her barium were announced.

Jt was obierved by one of the counsel who argued the fase that they did not even know where Dublin was.—(Laughter..) When Mr. O'Connell said England wes a foreign coantry, be was speaking a legal truth ; he was certainly speaking of a place beyond the seas ; but he (Mr. Whiteside) would require the Solicitor •Gcnct•al toprove that, because Mr. O'Connell said ibis, his (Mr. W.'s) client conspired to do all the wicked things with which -31 r. O'Connell was charged. All that he said abaut the " Stunted corporal" (the Duke of Wellington) an.l Sir Rob. rt Peel, proved nuthing, and was drawn forth totem c he (Mr. (YCon. nell) thought those distinguished persons were going to put him dawn by physical force. His expression, " Here is more phy b'aical force than was at Waterloo," m - ai a mere boastful exprer sion of pride, showing that the confidence of the masses of the people was enjoyed by him, and that their opinions were as much entitled to be discussed as those of the 75,000 sale went " shoulder to shoulder" to the Hillsborough meeting. Gentlemen of the ju y, in looking at the Mulinghmast meet ing, you cannot ecusiaer Mr. O'Connell's speech as violent or as improper ; for whets alluding to the historical fact of the massacre at alullaglimast, he does not stir up a sectarian spirit —he told the people that it was not a mess - tat:re commit tett h a Protestant on a Carbolic, but one perpetsaated by Cktliiiiies oil Catholics. The Attorney-General called your attentien to the character of the pr ceedings by which the meetings ware got together—he told you the people were drilled, and he quoted a case to show that such drilling was illegal ; but he did not tell you that the drilling in that case was per. formed at night, and by a soldier. You, gentlemen, saw the meeting at ainnybrook ; it was composed of respectable nrti• sans —we, corning to court, saw them—would you believe any man, if he could be found, to tell you that he was put is terror ?—thst he apprehended a breach of the peace, or any danger to either life or property ? No, surely--" Ex ens cliice omnes." From that one meeting learn the chareCter of the whole. But the Orangemen have met hundreds ofAlmet with music, with • banners, and mind, geotlemen, wiikiiima g which they .well knew how to use, for they were ;eittn'tried for using them—(Laughter) —and then only for' gie ript;)not because it was asserted they had no tight to ineetOlabli, such meetings were ille ga l, f or suc h was never .asteriti 1 and when they did wish to put them down, they had to _et an Act of Parliament to empower them to say so.. Well, Lord Stanley put them down with a strong and a tlght hand, and the only objection which was made by one •of tit* present Judges on our bench was, that he did rot thitak An law went far enough, and put down all meetings of the &scrip don which were then under debate. Mr. Lefroy, who now so ably administers jtistice in an 'lnferior Court, resisted with great ability the passing of that hill. There were also tWitl other persons who resisted it, b th of whom are at present traversers at the bar. One of them was Mr. O'Connell and the other was his son. They resisted it on constitutional grounds, and eloquently, ably, and constitutionally they argued the case, even though it took power from their enemies to injure them. Ile told them that the apirito, of the Orangeme n cou ld not b e put • down ; it might be properly directed, but it could not ohms be repressed. the Association was not obnoxious to the charges in the in dictment. Its object was, not to diminish the prerogative of the Crown, but to extend it—not to subvert the throne or Om House of Peers, but to add to the strength of the one, and to re. store tl.e other, and to bring back to Ireland the House of Com mons, is hove absence they deplored. If the jury were to judge fairly,- they should place themselves in the situation of the tea versers, and then, he woo d confidently ask them, would they adopt different means to effect their object ? The fact was, that the peoi.le - had-found out the secret of their strength, and •. that w hat wise denied ta`ij,u•t ice.aiis eourecled to moral force.,^:The ,Woo Ky. of Irelanal for.the last century almost was. but a series of Associations like the present. After advefting'td a` cumber of 'cases in:i c /carp: the: =a etaertsotbe illtafted Counsel thus con cluded—A large proportion of our countrymen were unhappy, ids contented, and despicable. They looked around on the cause of their misfortunes—they beheld a country blessed by Pro vidence with the means of greatness, and strong men pining for a daily sixpence, starving with gaunt famine in the midst of fertility, and they uttered the language of indignation and remonstrance. If, under such circumstances as these, a man thought a native Parliament would give him the means of life, was he criminal to wish for the means of life? Was he seditious if lie said so? And if he, knowing that his single voice would be passed by unheeded as the idle wind, joined with oth e r men i n d ec l ar i ng t h e i r common wants, grievances, and sufferings, were they conspirators? Were they conspirators because they thought a local Parliament might, perhaps, give them those blessings tor which they now _sighed. They thought, perhaps, the resident aristocracy and gentry were the source of industry and the means of wealth. They said that the mischief of absenteeism was daily and hourly increasing. They thought perchance a native Parlia ment might induce the absentees to return. Were they con spirators because they said so ?—They knew, and true it was, that the beauties of Ireland were few ; she had little to induce gentry or nobility to return. What were her beauties com pared with the fascinations of the Imperial Senate, or the glit tering splendour of a Court? They believed that their country's wealth was daily and hourly diminishing ; before them they saw a gloomy prospect and little hope ; they transferred their eye to this metropolis in which we stand; they see what an acute and sensitive people cannot shot their eves to . they see the horses of the nobility turned into barracks, the Stamp-office extinguished, the Linen-hall deserted, the University forsaken, the Custom-house almost a poor-house, and not long since they had read a debate in Par liament to remove from their asylum the old Irish pensioners, who bravely served their country, to transplant them in their old age in another country, for the purpose of saving a miser able pittance. They saw every possible source of expenditure withdrawn from the country by the application of politica! economy and the unbending principles of imperial centraliza tion. They looked at their parliament house converted into a bank. In their eyes it stood a inonum, nt of past glory and present degradation. The glorious labours of our gifted country men within those walls were not forgotten. The works of the understanding did not easily perish. The verses of Homer liver! 2,500 years, without the loss of a single letter, while temples anti citi-s had been swept away ; and we even now read without emotion the exalted sentiments her in spired sons poured forth in their exquisite language to save the expiring liberties of their country. Perhaps their genius had a resurrectionary power. and in later days quickened a dege nerate )poste from the, lealtargy of slavery into- the activity of freedom. We, ton; had among us in better times, many who approached the greatness of antiquity. The imperishable records of their eloquence would keep alive in our hearts a zeal for freedom, and a love for our country. The comprehensive genius of Flood, the immortal eloquence of Grattan, the splen dour of Burke, the noble simplicity and Demosthenic eloquence of Plunket and of Curran, had failed to save the ancient con• stitution of Ireland! Had learning, genius, eloquence, lost their power over the souls of men ? With one great excep• lion, these distinguished countrymen had passed aw a y, b u t their n.emorials had not perished with them. Their names would be remembered by a grateful posterity, while genius was honoured or patriotism remembered. Those who desired the repeal of the union believed that the Imperial Parliament did not attend sufficiently to our peculiar wants. Our character was misunderstood, and sometimes slandered. Our vices were magnified into crimes, and the crimes of 1t few were visited upon the nation. The Irish—the mere Irish—had been treated as creaffores-of impulse —men with , cut settled understandings, without a rational power, or moral sense. They hail their faults, God knows, and and he (Mr. Whiteside-) grieved to say it, but their faults were redeemed by splendid virtues. They had rushed into this agitssa Lion with ardour. It was their very nature whets they felt strongly to act boldly, and speak passionately—ascribe their excesses to their enthusiasm, and forgive! Recollect that the same enthusiasm had borne them triumphantly over fields of peril and glory—had impelled them to shed their dearest blood, and spend their lives, in defence of the liberties of England. Nor is their high spirit useful only in the storm of battle ; it cheers their almost broken heart tinier their misery—it sweetens the bitter cup of poverty, which thousands of your countrymen are admitted to feel. The emanations of genius, the imperishable works of art, and the labours of heroes, and the attachment of patriots, have all been prompted by enthu siasm. The deep passions of the soul are sometimes summoned into action for great and noble purposes, and are awakened by the hand of Omnipotence, by whose touch this island first started into existence—that hand which has stamped upon this boll people the enthusiastic desire for the regeneration of Ireland. The Learned Counsel here, overpowered by exertion, sank into his seat, amid loud and continued applause. Mr. MOORE, Q.C.—My Lord, he is exceedingly exhausted. Mr. HENN, Q.C.—He has not concluded, my Lord. CHIEF JUSTICE—WC will not consider him to have doneso. The Court was then adjourned to ten o'clock to-morrow morning. , - [ADVERTISEMENT.] THREE SUPPLEMEN TS GRATIS, WITH TIIE "DISPATCH." GREAT NATIONAL TRIAL AT DUBLIN. The immense size of THE WEEKLY DISPATCH has, hitherto, enabled its Proprietors on all occasions to present a copious, and, at. the same time, interesting account of the events of each week. It is, however, now found utterly impossible t• give anything like a faithful report of the Trial of Mr. O'Con nell and his Repeal associates, without excluding a great mass of interesting domestic and foreign intelligence ; the Proprietors, therefore, feel that their journal, which has been for years, and is new, honoured with more patronage than any other in ex istence, should be, in all respects, complete ; and, with that view, they intend to insert a summary of the proceedings during the progress of the trial in their usual columns, and present to their friends and subscribers THREE SUPPLEMENTS.
