h a lve . not presented a picturewhich would make it the duty or every honest man to rally with me to remedy those evils by a restoration of that Parliament ? You haVe now seen distinctly my objects,ind:thc objects of the men who are combined with me to obtain a repeal, which is our proud boast ; but that we are in a guilty combination wit reject with scorn. We want to restoie to Ireland the authority and prerogative of the Queen in, the creation, of the Peerage, to the Irish peer his proper and hereditary judicial authority, and to the representation of the people the right of making their laws. You have a right to ask me the mode of obtaining this measure; you nave a right to ask' me, and I will answer it, One of our modes is not to use sectarian means in labouring for repeal; and • while upon this subject I wish' to call yOiii attention to what has already. occurred on the part of those who laboured with 'me. We • never sought to sacrifice our country for any sect or party ; on the contrary, there cannot be more stiongproof of anything than our utter abhorrence of such means, or of those who profess such' to be their object. The Roman Catholics of Dublin heel a 'publierriect. Mg in Francis-street on the . 9th April,' 1795,. where, they declared that, feeling sincerely attached to their native country, its' r rights and liberties, and so fatal did they consider the union between Great Britain and Ireland to bC,that they were deteimined to re , sist it to theutmost, even though their own emancipation was of fend them as a compromise. That was the way hi wkieh the Ro- Man Catholics of Ireland met the question of 4116 union of 1795. (Mr. O'Connell then read a paSsage from the first speeds he ever made in public. It was delivered on the 13th of January, 1800, and represented the opinions of the Catholics of Ireland then to be so hostile to the union, that even if they were offered the alterna. live of ihe union or the re-enactment of the Penal code, with all its honors, they would prefer the latter, and, even if emancipation was offered to them for their consent to' the union, they would reject it with scorn and. indignation.) That (continued the Honourable and Learned Gentleman) was my first political speech. These were the sentiments of myself and the Catho lic& of Ireland, with reference to the union. Why, then, should .we be charged with sectarianism ? Gentlemen of the Jury , you cannot but be all well aware that the case of the Protestant Dissenters of England was warmly advocated by me-..that.}; presented a petition in their favour, signed by 28,000 Roman Catholics, and adopted at an aggregate meeting of Roman Catholics. That petition was not on the table of the House of Commons six weeks when the Protestant Disienters of England were emancipated. I scorn, therefore, and treat with the most sovereign contempt and indifference the idea of sectarianism. It bas been said, that I have made violent speeches; if I have, would it net be but fair to allow me the opportunity of showing how far these speeches were accurate or inaccurate, or what was explanatory er mitigatory, and not reserve ,them for so remote a period as this is, from the time some of there have been delivered. But no ; there has been no violence on our side ; if there has been any violence, it is entirely upon the part of our opponents. I will now read you an article which appeared on the 2d of August, 1841, in an English paper, the Cheltenham Chronicle, which cis. culates, very generally . through Bath and Bristol, Shrewsbury, and the other great towns in the south and west of England. (The Learned Gentleman then read the article.) After de. sorbing the condition of Ireland, it went on to say that the'people were a wild, savage, uncivilised race, the slves of O'Connell that every Irish priest should be secured and exiled for life (Latighter)-and not permitted to return to Ireland on penalty of death. That that could be achieved only by a Conservative Go eernment.--(Renewed laughter.) It 'could only be done by Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues. 'I now wish to say one word on the subject of the Arbitration Courts. I need not tell you that there are no oaths in these Cohrts, and that there could be none. I do not know whether it strikes you that this was an advantage .in these Courts. I presume you participate in the horror with which I have viewed the flippant profanation with which oaths are administered in the s e vera l d epartments o f 'the State, and that as Christian men you desire that they should be less fre. quent. In one y ear a l one, I n 1832, n o less than 172,000 oaths were administered in the Customs, and 158,000 oaths were administered in the Excise Department. Thia • was an un necessary preafanatiOn, for the pariies who swore 'were not trusted. They were as strictly watChed .as 'it they had . not ,taken an oath. Lord Nugent asked me, I recollect, to assist himln bringing in a )3.11 substituting in all revenue cases declarations for oaths. I did assist him; and the Bill is now the law. of the land." I wouldeitend its', principle further, and apply it to cases of property:" tot can plac e no value on the oath of a man who would tell you an untruth about property. An oath cannot bibinding on a mind of that 'description. When' the time is ripe=and I liope' it is fast coming-I hope to see, as in the case of th,e.Qpakers, the declaration of every Christian taken mall Mat ters ;" arid, if this we only imitate what is already done by reli. grout" communities, do not describe us as conipliators because we act in a similar way. Weil, it being sonceded that these meet ings Were peaceablein their origin, conduct,: and design's, what, let me ask, has the Crown read for you as evidence of the.mode in which Repeal is to be carried ? The first; evidence read for that purpose was the regulation's of the Repeal Association. (The Learned Gen 'fleman read the regulations, which have been already published.)- This, gentlemen, is the plan of the Repeal Association. It holds en( first the alternative of those acts of justice to Ireland; it holds out. then, the looising for repeal in the manner prescribed, with the expression of their full fidelity and allegiance, and de clares the peaceful and legal Means, with their full avowal of a determination to look for repeal in. that way, and in no other. Under those circumstances you have the' combination that . comes before you called a corespiracy. Well, in order, , however, to carry it further;the connsdl for the Crown have read another dociirnent. It is the reconstruction of the House - of Conamons," the renewed action of . fhe /dill Parliament.'" 'The Learned Gentleman then , read extracts from the seconddocunient, entitled 1 ! Plan for the renwed,lelion of the 'lrish Houle of ~Commons, stating that Re ' peaters recognise and acknowledge the right of her M a jesty Queen Victoria,•her heirs and successors, to all the rights and privileges in. herent in the CrOWn of Ireland A that they would bear their most faith. ' ful allegiatice to her Majesty, her heirs and successors ;;and that they acknowledge they would maintain all hereditary privileges of the Peers 6r I nland , as befere." This, Gentletnen Is the eildence for the prosecution, this is . the_evidenctO prove'a conspiracy and illegal means and objects. Gentlemen of the jury', we'did not call for this evidence, though I adMit that it contains an'adMirible defenee foens ; but it is prodoced . by the Attorney.. General; and on that he calls on you to find us, guilty.' There is the plan 'of repeal, and what fault do you find With it.r . It diScusses, and I insist on ml'right to discuss, the great constitutional question aifia the' corn peten.cy Of the Irish Parliainentle parss'the 'Act d i Union That qUestion was discuSsed before the union sias thought "of, if I May so 'speak'. In the work called `iLifette oh boverninent"-a trea tise-'written to prove that William was the laWfUl Monarch; 'by rea. son'oethe occurrences which had taken place-a book which, at • the time of the union, was a class4)oolt, in Trinity College; al. t hthigh since withdrawn from the course=but still a book of autho rity, and, undOnbtedly, one of the instruments by which the revolu tion of '16 . 88 wr,a aehieved-a revolution which no one admires more than I do-in' that work occurs a passage to which I demand youesertous attention (Mr. O'Connell read 'the* passage, which has Tai.en"frequently inioted during the trial), in which it is laid down, that Parfiament" 'had the poiver of making laws, but hot Legislaturea, , and' that it could ' not delegate that power' to others. • lie also read an extract from Mr. Satirin's speech;'delivered"on the 151 h of March, 1800, it which that gen tlerrizin asserted that the union would be a nullity; if forced on the Irish people'against their will; and another paSsage'in a subsequent speech in which Mr. Saudi t gave it as his opiniOn, that ilthoUgh they might make the union binding as a they could not make it obligatory 'on conscience, and resistance to it intheab. street would become a duty. 'My . LOrds, 'finsiat on the truth of that constitutional dOcteine. I take the qtratifiCation that has* been laiddown by Mr. Satirin that the Act is binding as - a law, while it continues to have form and shape, but' it is 'not bidding 'on con. science, on principle, .;Or on right. It has been Said that I pro nhunced the Acts passed since the union to be void. ' Idle/not say sO ; for; if 'they were, void, the Act of CathOlic - Emancipation • reustbe' Void as the.rest. 'But give me` the repeal of union; and we will soon Cosine .o'terrni about th at. I wohleethen Make you a present of the Em ancipation Act.' I may be Wrong in my position; but I hive 'a right' to argire these qticstions, every man has a right to argin them. Gentlemen of the jury, the *Point arose in' 17e2, - and' the Irish Parliament then tle elared that no poaier on earth . could•bind - the'liiih people'but the king, lords, and commons of Ireland, 'and' an Act was passed to that effect.: The consequence of that was to do away with an the laws in reference to Ireland made .in England. But they' went even further, and passed lavis which deranged the wholeproperty of the country. That state of things was not permitted to exist an hour; foe Chief' Baron Yelyerton Drought in a Bill which proilded that &flaws passed by the British'Parliament, whether with regard to Ireland or any other part of the 'United Kingdom, should apply equally to both Countries. 'lt has also '(said Me. O'Connell) seen said; that this was inconsistent with •alleglifice . ; / deny it. If the ,authority exists in the Queen; it 'Can b'e exercised by 'the responsible Minister. • I am • how nearly drawing to a Close ; but must first go hack to the evils of the . union, and show the necessity of every man 'exerting himielf to • ob(ain repeal. !Ask you, first, could it not Cure the lideoui evil of absenteeism ? A very talented gentleman, Mr.',Hayes, 'Of Cork, has calcu'ated 'that 9,090;090/. surplus revenue passei out of this country every year. The - railway Commissioners teduce it . to o'boo,oooi. I take the' reduced amount, and I ask, if ever any country suffered Co much as this trent' the drain con Sequent, upon absenteeism ? Wet don't Want English capital ; give - ill our own 6,600.,0007., we want no more, we hare enough for own purpose* if It is Only' alloWed to remain with us. The surplus revenue, gentieriren, is; another exhaustion of the re. sources of Ireland. It amounts in some years to two million's. - Last year I think it was so idle as 700,0001.; but whether one amount or the other, it is drained out Of this country never to' return. Again, the Weeds arid Forests departnientget 7:1,0001. a year in quit rents and Crown rents out "or Ireland. - How 'has' that been spent for the last ten ieirs ? Why in' making the 'Mantes Tunnel and beautifying Trafalgar-squire: 'We want an ad'. ditiorial bridge here, ,and why lihotild we not have that 74,0001. to erect it? ' Have we niat.“as: go.k a right to 'it as the citizens of - London ? If we had an . Irish Parliament sitting, "mild we permit thesi continual" drains'? No'i and gentlemen, will you give your 'consent, your vete,' twill say, to the sendi ng over of an the money 'to prisainent Trafalgar . .square ? or will you raise your voice on behalf 'of 'those 'who honeitlY contend that ire. land should have the benefit of her own 'resources P . There re otherevils contingent with this drain upon our 'country. I ,hesrd in Vaifiarnent quoted a work by a Yothil; a political een o. mid, who travelled through Ireland in /778; and who, in writing en the subject of the increase of the population, observed that all the children greW up to be seen "and women, and he accounted for that by their 116 , er-failing bellyful'of, potatoes: 'Was that the ease now ?" Ilati.not the condition Of the Periak and. of the' Our). try declined ? Are ypu not affrighted at; ancl3rdue country . de. graded by, periodical, famines; six of - eight • ot which have oc curred since the nniorYl Quantities of Provisiona were ex ported to England at the 'very moment the iltiople here were expiring from famine . The histoiy of distress in the report of the Poor.law CommissionerS was appalling; arid the Population Commissioners' Report, which has just come out, "exhibits the evil in an aggravated shape. The gentlemen who framed it, Captain Larcom, reports Oat 30 per cent, of the population of the cities and towns in Ireland are in a state of the most abject po verty, and, that 70 per cent, of the agricultural pompano') are in a like condition. Where is:the perpetual bellyful of potatoes now, and where is the advantage of the, union when such a state of things is in existence ? And are these ,grievinces to remain ? Are we who seek' a 'remedy for them to be hunted out or society rte conspirators,, and those smiling and exulting in thebonours of c ffi ce, to b e su pp or t e d; pra i se d, a n d su stained, while the friends of the poor, those who desired that they should receive wages, not alms, and that industry should be rewarded, 'are 'differently treated ? I speak not of their being , charitable and hu. mane-but I take up the public principle, and I ask whether these who seek to relieve the enormity of ' distress are to be prosecuted or persecuted. We are .looking out for the means naof relieving th e d i stress Of 'Which our country complains. have all the natural resources for prosperity. Examine our island-it is one of the most fertile upon the face of the globe- There is no country in the world which is so well eircumstaneed ptssessing so many harbours and excellent estuaries. It is an 'old historical fact, that the Irish harbours are better than those of Eng land-her waters carry vessels of 500 tons burden into th centre of Ire:and-the island Y is indented a t every side : ver y which are secure from every wind th a t b lows during the twent y. four hours. No country has su c h p ower as Ireland the machinery of the world might be turned lay . it ; and, oh! w h at a difference there is between machinery arid manufactures carried on in the free air and wholesome, atmosphere which surround 'a water power-and all the hideous filth and unwholesomeness which ne er:parity belongs to the factory System in the sister Country. There is' not a'spot in Ireland . which is Mori that 30 miles distant from a' good harbour. Take the map of the country,'and this will be seen.- Why is not the country prosperous? Did I not read of the untold =unheard of magical prosperity which followed from the existence of a native legislature, froin the writings' and observations of men most adVerse to Ireiand, and Whoie business it was to conceal the' condition of the country before the union ? Had r not read this svidenee of ihe increasing prosperity of Ireland under her Par.' liament. What happened' once will surety happen again. This struggle is to recover the prior from 'poverty, to enable those who are idle, from want of wages or occupation, to keep the' revenues of the country to retain the nobility of the land. • I leave the case with you ; I utterly deny that I• have said or done anything to 'warrant the imputation that I 'am a conspirator. I reject the Accuzation with ecifittenvt: 'I - acted in the open day, in the praience pt the Goieftimerit, ll'the magistrates, sad I said THE SUN : LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, nothing that I would not expose to the universal world. I have struggled for the restoration of the Parliament of my native coun. try. Some have succeeded in the attempe-lothers have failed. If I succeed, or if I fail, it is a glorious - struggle to make—it is glo. rious to strive that the first land upon the earth should possess that bounty and benefit which God and nature alike intended it should enjoy. —(Partial applause.) • The CHIEF JUSTICE—Are you going into evidence, Mr. Moore ? Mr. Moose—We intend so, my Lord ; but at this late hour theie might be a difficulty in getting the witnesses into Court in its present crowded state, The Cum' Jtrencs—l do not wish to put you to any incon. venience. Mr. MOORE—Then, my Lord, I think that, as the case has closed as far as the speeches are concerned, we might abridge the evidence by a cohference, before any of the witnesses are produced. The CHIEF JOSTICE-=iheir WE will be ready to hear them to. morrow morning. The Court was accordingly adjourned until to-morrow morning, at ten o'clock. Mr. O'Connell was loudly cheered while classing through ,the hall, and in the vicinity of the Courts, upon his way home. REPEAL ASSOCIATION: The weekly meeting of the Ateocrition *at*ld this day in the Conciliation Hall. ' The building was crowded to excess: On the motion of Mr. Mauves O'CoirxELL the chair was taken by Lord FFRENCH, amidst the most rapturous applause. His Lord. ship said, amongst other things; " that he identified himself heart and soul with Mr. O'Connell." The meeting was addressed by Mr. Maurice O'Connell, M.P., Mr. Dillon Brown, M.P., and Mr. Smith O'Brien; M.P., who moved and carried a resolution to watch over the proceedings in Parliament. Mr. O'Connell entered the hall during the proceedings, and was most vociferously cheered. After the Other business was disposed of, Mr. O'CoNtaELL very briefly addressed the meeting, stating that he could not omit doing• so although he had already spoken for five hours. He expected the people to be peaceful, stated that the trial would close in the course of the week, and that the Crown had completely proved his (Mr. O'Connell's) case.

The subject, was in trodaed by the Duke of RICHMOND; who moved for a copy of a circular which had been sent to the different clerks of the peace in the United Kingdom. The paragraph in the circubr to which he objected was that which authorised a .constable to enter the pre mises of a prisoner in order to ascertain the amount of his property. This, he considered illegal, and as a visiting magistrate he •should consider it his duty to inform every prisoner that, up to the period of his conviction, he had a right to dispose of his property in any way he might think proper. Lord WHARNCLIFFE concurred in the remarks made by the Duke of RICHMOND. Lord BROUGHAM ' said it was, impossible to defend that part of the cir cular which authorised a constable to commit a tres pass ; and after a few words from Lord CAMPBELL and the Duke of. RICHMOND the motion was withdrawn, on an understanding that the Government would make an intimation to the clerks of the peace that the objectionable clause was not to be acted. on. Lord CLARENDON gave notice that be would on Friday put some questions to the Secretary for Fo reign Affairs relative to Spain. - A conversation then took' place bet Ween the Noble Earl and Lord ABERDEEN, respecting the e . Chinese treaty, when the Foreign Secretary said Government had not yet received the supplementary treaty, but he trusted it would be satisfactory. In answer to a question from Lord MONTEAGLE the Duke of WELLINGTON said it was not the inten tion of the- Government to appoint a• Committee on banking, as there was already sufficient information before the House on the subject. . The Noble Duke also said it was the intention of the Government to institute an inquiry respecting the Irish poor-laws, , but not till the Irish representa tives had returned. • In the• House of =Commons, after the presentation of petitions, Mr:ComiEN gave notice that on Tuesday fortnight he would ,Move for a Select Committee to inquire into the effect of the import duties on tenant farmers and farm-labourers.

' ' ' ,After que4ions e to he night of Search and CemetOries in large towns; Sir J.

' HAYMARKET THEATRE:. _ It pleas t,, lively, bustling, two-act farce entitled `,`:(.4ecl up,!', was, produced at this. theatre :list. evel fling. The • hero, Sir Charles -Coldstream .(Mr. C.

The lady's first husband, Ironbrace, whom she had thought dead, happens, at that mo, ment; to be engaged in the capacity of a blacksmith, in doing some, repairs to Sir Charles's ' hon Se. Hp sees his , wik---accuses the Baronet Of attempting to seduce her. Sir Charles threatens. to throw him out •of the window, which Opens. upon• the Thames --:•-they struggle,' and both roll out together. In the `neXt act we find Sir Charle s living with Farmer `next; (Mr. James 'Bland) as a farm servant.. Believing himself to have murdered Ironbrace, he has assumed this disguise ; to escape the pursuit of justice; the only person aware of his real rank 'being his foSter sister Mary (Miss Julia BOnett).the farmer'S niece. Ironbrace, who fancies that. •he • has murdered Sir Charles, has also sought refuge at the same farm. • The farmer himself - being his confidant. A series of amusing scenes ensue, until at length allis exclaimed, and Sir Charles, .'effectUally cured of ennui, ,marries Mary. The acting Of Charles Mathews was excellent ; he kept the house in a continual- roar, and at the con clusion announced the- piece for "repetiqon, amidst loud applause. This is an excellent farce. The in cidents follew one another in rapid Succession, and the dialogue is smartly written. • The house was crowded. -The Ecclesiastical Commission for England had a meeting yesterday afternoon at the office in Whitehall-place.

Clients=the'Whc;le Irish people---and he was afraid that their case' might in any - respect be injured_ 'by: the iilcdtppetenq:' . cif _ his 'advocacy. He was , not there. to , palliate or • mitigate anything he - had ever said: . He would reiterate, in the pre sence sif tlie:COiiii anti, jury, every p'rOtefstittiO'n lie had ever-made against•the union—for that union had been ' carried,: be repeated, by the most - nefarious 1 agency, -and had been designed in fraud and a feeling of - envy—as had often' loten'said by one who had long ... . ornamented . that Bench (Chief JUstice BusuE)- 7 -a feeling of envy of the -growing • prosperity of Ire lan4; _ . With - respect 'to this prosecution' . for conspiracy, •it , - was the most preposterous proceeding that had ever yet been - instituted. ' He had looked into. the dictionary, and . he. fpund the meaning of the -word conspiracy - was a 'private or secret - .pgreeMent Among, various' parties, too — eomMit crime. • He-asked, the jury, then, as consisting of men of honesty and intelligence, what evidence had been adduced to them of any such agreementin the pre sent case ? Had it - been proved • that there was any secret egreernent between ' the parties indicted in the present instance ; and, even if had been proved, had it been shown that he was pre sent when that agreement had .been . entered into ? No such thing. At least this might give him the benefit of 'an alibi. ' The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then alluded to the Anti-Corn-law League, and ridiculed the idea of its being denominated a conspiracy. Yet the organisation of the League differed in little from that of the Re peal Association. Could a jury be found in England that would convict the League of a conspiracy, if it were possible to suppose that such a charge would' be preferred against that body ? Then there was the Anti- Slavery Society—would that be termed a conspiracy ? That body received - money both from home and "abroad; its members held their private and their public meetings, and yet it was,never thought of call• ing 'the body a set of conspirators. With respect to the constitution of the jury, he stinted that in England no twelve men would be put as a jury into a box to try men from whom, according to the principles on which they were edu cated, they differed so widely in opinion. He then alluded to the peaceable character of the meetings ; and with respect ,to the charge _of intimidation.which had been brought against them, he said this Go vernment, who had all the gentry, the magis tracy, and the clergy of the Established Church attached to them, could have ascertained whether the charge was founded in truth or not. But not one witness had been called to prove that -any thing like intimidation had been used at those meet ings ; and why ? Because no one could conscientiously swear that intimidation had been used. He pointed out• that eight years ago, when illegal combination was attempted to be established among the trades unions .of Dublin, he was the person who' put a stop to it. , Would he have done so if he 'was 04e who was justly liable to the charge of conspiracy ? Allusion had been made by the Attorney-General to the conduct of the men of 1798, and it was sought to fix upon him the charge to which they were ameriable—that of desiring French sympathy and French aid. Had he acted as one who had desired either ? Had he not rejected the proffered assist ance of the French party, at the head of which was M. LEDRU ROLLIN. ' He flung back with indignation and contempt the charge which the Attorney-General, in his opening address, had sought to fasten upon him of speaking disrespectfully of the QUEEN.--Iledenied it. The - charge was false. he Hen..and 'Learned Gentleman Then- proceeded at much length'to monstrate that the English Government had, from the commencement of its connexion with Ireland, governed this country with the most narrow jealousy, and he adverted,par parenthese, in proof of his position, to the history of the 'woollen trade of Ireland— that the transactions of 1782 were intended to be a final adjustment of the condition of the Irish Par liament, which it was then agreed should be estab lished as an independent Xarliament• for ever— -that the greatest prosperity of the country followed from the establishment of an independent Parliament—that the union was forced upon the • Irish people, against their consent, and by the most corrupt and fraudulent means—that the poverty under which Ireland is now suffering is the result of the union, and that the only remedy for Ireland's ` grievances, and the only means of preventing, the ultimate separation of the two countries, was the repeal of the union. In the course of his observations he quoted,AUGUSTIN THIERRY, Mr. PITT, Primate BOLTON, Chief Justice BUSHE, and several other writers and speaker, in support of his position. He also entered, at length into , statistical details to ' show how prostrated were the . energies . of the Irish people, and how ruinous were the effects of the union upon the ,manufacturing industry of this country. He then read in full several of the documents issued by the'Repeal Aoociation, and which had been read in part and produced in evidence by the Attorney-Ge neral, and he contended that those very documents constituted his kest defence. He cited LOcTiE, Lord GREY, BUSHE, SAURIN, 'PLUNKETT, &C., in support of the doctrines which he had propounded as a Repealer. In . a nation like the British empire, where Parlia ment had so often changed the succession -to the throne, was he to be told that he would not be alloWed to discuss a question like the repeal of the union ? There might be error, but there could not he crime in discussing the question, ' He again re verted to the present state of Ireland, and' com pared, it" to that of the country in the middle of the last century when ARTHUR YOUNG visited it The people,; 'then',' according ,to that writer, had each." a' belly full of potatoes " to eat when hungry ; but now, iccording to the report of' Captain LAu ,cost, 30 .i3er'cent. of the town and 'city population, and 70 per cent. of .the agricultural population were in a state of the,' most ,abject poverty. Were, then, those who Sought to remedy that dreadful state of things to be 'branded as conspirators, and those Who 'sat, undisturbed in the enjoyment of the emolu ments and honours of place, to be lauded,- when they 'assailed those who endeavoured to remedy such evils? The Hon. Gentleman concluded by glorying. in his attempts-,' whether successful -or otherwise,' to benefit his native country. , At the conclusion of Mr. O'CoNNELL's • speech the CHIEF JUSTICE inquired if the travo l sets were going into evidence, and being. informed by Mr. Mbonc and Mr. HATCHELL that the witnesses could nO(be'eonveniently produced this eyening, the Court adjourned until the usual hour to-morrow morning. '' It- is now 'generally admitted, that the Govern ment has totally failed in establishing the . shidew of a tease against Mr. O'CoNNELL• and the other tra verserp-; it is allowed, on all hands; that not a parti cle of evidence. has been adduced, from which a con spiracy can be inferred,' an illegal intent presumed, or an overt act either a conspiracy or, unlawful in tendment—established : and yet , nobody presumes to guesi, with anything like certainty, what the next Government move is to be, either in the event of a conviction; in the procurement of which evidence has no concern ; of an acquittal, which the evidence given ought clearly to cause; or of•no verdict at all, to which the general opinion, at this moment; seems to lean. , Suppose O'CONNELL convicted; what then ?

WILL OF THE ' L ATE MARQUIS OF HERTFORD.— The Judici a l C omm i ttee of t h e P r ivy Council met this morning to h ear an appeal b claiming as . a leg a t ee under ytheßight Hp. J. Croker, a codicil of the late Mar; qnis of Hertford. The Solicitor-General . appeared on the part of jhe light Hon. Gentleman. Lords Brougham, Denman, Atinger, and Campbell, Chief Justice Tindal, &c., were present. OVERLAND MAIL INDIA AND CHINA. The accounts brought by this mail from India and China are very satisfactory. The affairs of Gwalior have been -settled. without shedding a drop of bloOd. The Governor-General reached Agra on the 11th of De- • eember, and was making arrangements for marching the army of exercise, under Sir Hugh Gough, into the country ; but its services were not required,. . The, a)!thorities, on finding that they had no chance of re , sisting such an overpowering force, held a council of war, which was attended by the principal officers and leading men of the country and after a short delibera tion resolved to give up the Minister Rhasgetwalla, who was regarded as the prime mover in the late de monstrations against British authority in Oat quarter. lie was immediately sent off prisoner under an escort of fifty men to Agra. The young Baja, who was considered the rightful heir to the throne, took refuge in the British camp, and in due time was to be regularly installed as Sovereign. Lord Ellenborough was to proceed to Gwalior, accompanied by the young Prince, but no par ticulars had transpired as to his ultimate plans. That district, however, is now entirely under British dominion. Affairs remained nearly in the same state at Lahore, but preparations were made for resistance in case an attack should be made on the Sikhs by the British troops on the other side of the Sutlej. Sinde was per fectly tranquil. Sickness still prevailed to a consider able extent. A number of medical officers had been dispatched from Bombay to attend the sick, and hopes were entertained that the malady was only temporary. Sir Charles Napier was in good health. At Sukkur, the ' sickness was rapidly diminishing. From China the in telligence is favourable. The supplem•mtary treaty, by Sir Henry Pottinger and the Chinese Commissioner, would, be forthwith signed by the Emperor without waiting for the signature of the Queen of England. The sickness at Hong-King had abated, but we regret to state that Major Pottinger, Colonel Knowles, and two surgeons had. been carried off. by it. • GWALIOR—THE ARMY OF EXERCISE. • ( From the Agra Ukbar of Dec. 23.) Out accounts from the army of the Chumbul (we do not admire the title of Exercise, and purpose to exclude it henceforth) are somewhat meagre, though as yet we can hardly expect any one to see beyond his nose. As stated in our overland issue, the surrender of the Khasgeewalla is an important feature in the negotiations with .Gwalior, as removing one great impediment to the settlement of affairs ; the effect is the submission of the Bace and the Durpar, who have agreed to the terms imposed, but confess their inability to disband the troops, for which purpose, therefore, the army con. tinues to advance. The Govcrnor.General and Commander.in. Chief arrived at Dholpore on the 19th, and orders were issued for the advance of the army in the following order The vanguard, under the command of Major-General Valiant, K. -1., consisting of three troops Horse Artillery,. No. 17 . Light Field Battery, the 3d Brigade of Cavalry, and 3d Brigade of In. fantry, to cross on the morning of the - 22 d. On the 23d the Commander-in-Chief's camp, No 10 Light. Field Battery, and 4th Brigade of Infantry. On the 24th the sth Brigade of Infantry, with:a portion of the. Artillery, and Engineer park—on the 25th, the 6th Brigade of Infantry, and remaining portions of Artillery, and Engineer park. The Governor-General would cross either on the 23d or 24th, after sending off dispatches by express. The ford, over which the army will pass, is only three feet three inches deep, with good firm footing, so that there will be no trouble in crossing the army ; the advance column would halt on the right bank until the whole had crossed over, when the army would move on to a place called Hinganna, where it is expected that the Baee and Durbar would meet the Governor-General to tender their submission, when, no doubt, a proclamation will be issued, calling on the soldiers of the Gwalior Raj to submit, under pain of being treated as rebels. The report current in camp as to the future arrangement of the force at Gwali or is, that a 2d contingent will be brigaded under Brigadier Stacey, and the Sipporee contingent increased, so as to have two separate bodies of 6,000 men in each of all arms—but this .is mere rumour. The army was encamped at Dholpore, on a splendid plain, on which 'an army of fifty thousand men could have manceuvered with ease. The Rana of Dholpore, not to be outdone by so insignificant a force as the army of the Chumbul, sent some of his tag-rag-and bobtail, with a couple of old guns, one iron and the other brass (to show that he possessed both kinds of metal), to swell its numbers, to do honour to the Governor-General, and to protect the English Artillery during the night, in case some secret enemy should steal on it unobserved and annihilate it. They were talking in camp of the probable time they would be back at Agra, and what was to be done after, whether to remove to the Sutlej, or settle down again quietly. Whispers were current ,that the former was the more likely move; and words falling by accident from the lips of authority, were greedily ricked up and speculated on. This is all pleasant enough in .camp, where the smallest hint serves for an exciting discourse at, the mess table. Among other sayings which had been discussed, was one of a rather peculiar nature, as connected with the Punjaub, but which may be taken in a double sense " there is plenty of time to look after the Punjaub." This may mean, let us first settle this affair, and then we can mind the other ; or it may mean that the Punjaub pear is not ripe enough yet, and therefore there is plenty of time to think of it. Be it as it may, the opinions of many are decided that some interference with the Punjaub is_contemplated in high quar ters—and there the matter may rest in the mean time. The following is another account, and furnishes intel ligence fronißombay to the Ist of January: The army of exercise has been successful without firing a shot A very large demonstration has been made before a very small foe, and the, latter; seeing resistance useless, has wisely given in. The movement on Gwalior was made from three directions—the main body of the army of exercise marching from Gwalior, and the left wing f%om Kooneh in Bundelkund ; while a etrong force, con sisting of Madras troops, moved up from Ellichpore‘ The place of rendezvous of the latter was fixed at Bdlapoor, and there the troops accordingly assembled, on the 20th of November, under the cons. mand Cif Brigadier Bagnold, of the Arunzabad division. No soberer, fitwevtr, had they all collected, than an order arrived for their re. turri,e and the regiments at once retrograded to the different stations, EllichpOre, 'Neetnuoh, Jalnah, &c., from which they haettreen drawn. The cause of the sudden dissolution of the force is under todd toltare beetx ttinteceSpl'Or Intelligente of a'fatroutagte•nature in regard to the state of affairs in• Gwalior. The ism*" Wati favourable to the party-w-ho. had espoused the British interest; and the-attempt made by that other aide to regaid Possession of the•usurping , minister, Dada Khasgeewalla, signally failed. • Soon after the struggle, BaponSeetooleah-,-the.leader of the successful party, prevailed on the Baee to consent to the dismissal of a number of Khasgee's creatures; whom 'she= -had kept about her person ; and also to give up Dada himself to the British •authori • ties. He succeeded, likewise, in getting himself appointed to the full.charge of the Government. •An attempt war now made to send the-prisoner to Agra; but it failed, owing to the -opposition -of some of the Sirdars and troops.- Efforts were used to procure the • sanetion• --of • the -British - authorities •-to •-his.-confirnmerit -as a state prisoner within -the Gwalier -Raj; 'but these were '• equally unsuccessful. No plasPeCt -being apparent or a- pa'. ocifie adjustment • -of differences, -the warlike party again ob. lained ascendancy in the Councils-, of the State, and soh* very vigorous preparations for hostilities. were -entered into. Our -Government appears-all along to- - have- acted with becoming-firm. • ness; and to-hate determined upon obtaining-entire acquiescence in all- -its demands,• without the slightest limitationi• - 2- The • Gwallor durbar, unanimous in-nothing but dissimulation ;Old intrigue, et. • hibited constant vacillation, and was valiant -or- submissive by Ma and'starts, according as the warlike or pacific party happened to he uppermost. • . About the Bth of Deeensber,however, it -was prettS , generally determined that the Army- of Exercise'sbould be opposed, arid Seetooleah , s intentional absence from the durbar seemed to be a signalfor active measures of preparation. The arrangements Tor defence were discutsed,and conclUded, and letters were sent to ttie • chiefs --of- Boondela and ..the Prince of ItAiwarre, craving assist. ance in repelling the British. Bapoo Seetooleah, desirous of sparing • useless effusioniof blood; endeavoured-resecond time to send off the Khasgeewalla, and a second time failed, owing, as it afterwards ap • peared, to his custodians having been bribed by the Brice. It thus appeared evident that hostilities must-ensue. Lord Ellenborough arrived at Agra from Calcutta .on the 1 lth ' December, and • the army being.- in readiness to move, the 'first brigade, under Generil Valiant, of. her Majesty's 40th, marched the next day towards. Dholpore. On the 13th, 14th, and 15th, the rest followed. The• left wing. also ornarched, from Jhaussee ; ant about the 16th, intelligence ..reached. Gwalior of its arrival it Chaudpore Soonharee, while the .main body had appeared on the bank of the Chumbul. The courage of the adverse party at Gwalior now ocaed,out at their . fingers' ends ; the Baee, whole worthy valour had shamed the .most accomplished of Scindi ah?s warriors, became gentle and pcace.loving, and at length the great " bone of contention.," if I may use so irreverent an expression, Dada Khasgee, was marched ofEto Dholpore, under an escort of fifty troopers. Here. General Valiant's brigade found him. on the 17th, and he was immediately sent to the Governor. General's_ (for his Lordship's inspection, .1. presume}, And thence.to Agri, where he is now confined.: Lord Ellenborough is.to go on to G.valior. The expense of this force will be.defrayed from the revenues of territory to be ceded to us !or the purpose. • Mania, Sahib is to be restored to the office of blinister,.and the cost of the _ _ " Army of Exercise" is to be paid ,by the Gwalior Government. No resistance is expected to the entry of our troops,'• The whole of the army at present halt& at Dholpore, The siege train returned to Agra.. -i FEBRUARY 7, 1844. THE PUNJAUB. The Punjaub has this month pretty, equally divided attention with Gwalior. No renewal of disturbances has as yet taken place, but everything seems tending to a further outbreak. The arrival at Lahore of Golab Sing, the powerful chief of Jumboo, watim. ticed last month.. The number of troops which accompanied hilt' was somewhat exaggerated': it should have been twelve Instead of twenty.two thousand men. The report that he had assumed the • post of Vizier in supercessior. of Heera Sing, was not in accordance with fact, since the latter chief, though deferring in important mat. tors to the judgment -of his uncle, never really resigned the chair of affairs. The most important events th a t h ave h a pp ene d s i nce t c date of last month's accounts are, an attempt to run offwith the Ma. harajah, made by Jawahir Sing, his maternal uncle ;'violent quarrel lings between Soochet and Heera Sing; and the sudden and some. what mysterious departure of both Soochet and Golab from Lahoie. The two latter occurrences' seem, -to have been consequent on the first. It would appear that Heera Sing has never been liked by the Khalsa (or united Sikh people), and that a rather strong party has for some time past existed, whose-object is to get rid of the minister; and raise Kashmeer Sing, an illegitimate son of Runjeet, to the throne, putting Dhuleep, the present occupant, to des th. Chtind Koor, the Maharajah's -mother, a shrewd woman, of energetic tempera. meat seems to -have suspected the two elder Rajahs of having abetted at least the latter part of this design; and her brother, doubtless with her concurrence, attempted, on the- 25th of No vember, to frustrate it, by carrying off the 'young prince from the palace. The thing however, was badly managed, and failed. Jawahir Sing was caught, confined in chains,- and . his property confiscated. oStiochet Singy• wire it Ae.supposed.was cognizant of the proceeding, joined Chund Koor in remonstrating against the severe punishment inflicted on her brother, and this occasioned a fresh 'and violent quarrel with Beets Sing. Golab Sing, after many ineffectual attempts to reconcile his brother and nephew, at length succeeded in persuading Soochet .to quit Lahore. This was agreed to, hoivever, only on the condition of Golab accom, poling him. They both left on-4 the 4th, Golab having sent to Chund Koor, prier' to his departtire, and informed her that he was about to visit Juinboe, 'but 'Would not make a long stay. Soochet, it was supposed, would go , to Rannuggur. The latest accounts from Lahore are to the I Stti of December. The Delhi Gazelle of the 23d gives detailed advices down to the 12th. The on1)-‘ item of importaime 4a.the , diapatch of reinforcements to attack Mulick , Futteh Khan, who was creating disturbances in the territory of Tabk. ii Was announced at the durbar en the 12th that this Chief had susta#tied• a' reverse, /having ^.fied from the fort of Mutteah to the hills. "There is certainly," says the news-writer, e 'improvement:in' the hearing of the Sikhs; and they now profess themselves 'read' to' obey the orders of Heera Sing." - General ventuta has left'Labote• lot Letodlan'ah..Some' Say tha he bas quitted the Piiiij'a'ub fur ever; others that he has proceeded on a political errand to the British authorities. The former is the more likely to be the case. The Bombay Times states thit" the t urepeatf residents who were about to cross the frontier, and seek shelter in the COmpany's dominions, entertained no doubt that the British Government would very shortly be compelled to in. terfere." Mow that the Owalior affair is settled, we may shortly expect to hear the question of interference in the affairs of the Punjaub decided. Lord Ellenborough, I think, is not the man to remain quiescent at the had of such a force as the army of exercise, and with a tempting bait like the I'unJaub to lure him to war. SINDE. Our intelligence from Sinde this month again chiefly relates to the sickness of the troops. It is comforting to know that arrange. mcnts are in progress for the withdrawal of the invalids, the whole of whom, to the number of three or four thousand, are to come to Bombay. Their place, it is s rid, is to be supplied by a brigade of Madras troops; but probably, now that Gwalior is tranquillised, the Bengal regiments originally ordered to garrison the province will be permitted to proceed to their destination. The Bombay Government has latterly evinced the greatest activity in furnishing medical aid. " General Napier," says the Bombay Times,, "is said to have expressed his determination to part with no troops, whatever their condition, until reinforced by a corresponding number of efficient men." If this be the case, the arrangements for the removal of the sick cannot proceed very rapidly. The following movements of troops have taken place :—The left wing of the 21st Native Infantry has dropped down the Indus from Hyderabad, and proceeded to Kurrachee. The right wing will follow, and the whole come to Bombay. The remnant of the 2d Europeans has been withdrawn from Mandavie to Kurrachee. Some portion •f the men have arrived in Bombay, whither the whole regiment is to come preparatory to proceeding to Belgatrrn, to take the place of her Majesty's 86th, which relieves them in Sinde. The head-quarter wing of the 18th Native Infantry has arrived in Bombay from Baroda, for embarkation to Kurrachee, and the left wing —now at Khow—will soon follow. The remainder of the 78th Highlanders leave with the 18th Native Infantry. Leslie's troop of horse artillery, arid Whitlie's battery have re turned to the Presidency, and the former has proceeded to the Deccan. The 13th Native Infantry, sent some time since from Bombay, 'has arrived at Hyderabad. Her Majesty's 13th Light Infanty is en route to Sukkur from Ferozepore. Among the officers who had died were Major Roberts, Dr. Pollard, and Captain Woodburn. The latter expired on the 20th of December, on board the steamer in which he was proceeding to the mouth of the Indus, for the purpose of coming to Bombay. Of military movements, or political events, there is little to tell. General Simpson, who went across the Indus with the 25th Native Infantry and the Bth Native Infantry, two guns, and 50 horse, for the purpose of punishing some Belochee plunders and cattle stealers, as well as to settle the boundary on that side of the river, returned to camp on the 11th, having met with no enemy. The Governor of Sinde about shortly to return to Hyderabad from Kurrachee. He now has the northern division of the army immediately at his disposal. lIERAT. The three nephews of Tar Mahorned, late Vizier, but now appa rently ruler, of Herat, have quarrelled with their uncle, and joined the two sons of the late Shah Kamran, against him. The fol. lowers of the five young men assembled their followers and be. weged Herat. A conflict ensued outside the.walls, the result a which was, that the " sirdars and princes, being victorious, sue. ceeded in shutting up Tar Mahomed in the fort." • -r - .. NEPAUL AND OUDE. There have been some hostile collisions between, the people of Oude and the Nepaulese, and the disputes between the two Go. vernments are of a nature so serious, that it is believed the inter. ference of the British will be necessary. A short time ago the troops at Cawnpore were ordered to hold themselves in readiness for ser vice, and it was believed hostilies were contemplated. Nothing, however, was done. The Delhi Gazelle of the 23d December, received this morning, intimates that orders have been issued for the instant march towards Etawah (on the Jumna, in the Dooab, between Gwalior and Oude) of the following troops A wing and head quarters of the 11th Infantry, an effective troop of her Majesty's 9th Lancers, another of the 11 th Light Cavalry, and two nine-pounder guns, manned by a detail of the third company's 7th battalion, the whole under the• command of Lieutenant-Colonel Scott, of the 11th Infantry." The 12th In. fantry, and the right wing of the 18th, are likely also to leave Lucknow for Etawah. Sir William Nott has temporarily resigned the residentship at Lucknow, on the score of ill health, and Sir G. Pollock has succeeded him. AFFGHANISTAN. We have this month a considerable amount of intereating intel. ligence from Caubul. Dust Mahomed still remains on the, throne, but is esteemed as little as before by those around him. He op. presses the people as much as ever, and there continues to be a very strong feeling against him. Great difficulty experienced in collecting the revenues from the various districts—the inhabi tants in many places resisting those sent for the purpose sword in hand. Ufaul Khan, one of the Dost's sone, while out Cu an .ex cursion of this kind, sustained a severe defeat at the hands of the people of the Bungush country. Akbar Khan has returned to Cabul. His object in proceeding to Jellalabad was not to attack Peshawur ; nor does there seem any likelihood of'such a movement at. present, either on his part or that of the Dost. The following extracts from the latest. news-letter from Cabul will well repay perusal. The date of the communication is 10th to 13th November : • " Wuieer Yar Mahomed, at present ruler of Herat, and late chief minister of Shah Kamran, has addressed a friendly letter to Dost Mahomed, through the Sirdars of Kandahar, with ten Persian horses, and a sword inlaid with jewels, as a:present, and it is believed that being anxious to cultivate the Wuzeer's good graces, :boat Mahomed, will, in return, dispatch Ameer Mahomed Akhoonzada to Herat with a gift." ' • ' . ".The son of the ruler of Shuhur Subz has arrived 'at Cabtil to pay his respects to Dost Mahomed, and to cement a friends* be. tween him and his father. He is the same person who assisted Dost Mahomed, when a prisoner at Bokhara, in effbeting his escape and getting clear off. On his arrival in the vicinity of Cabul, Dost Mahomed sent his son with an escort of cavalry to receive him with honour and every denp9stration of kindness, and bring him in to the city. It has been reports et In the town of Cahill, by some persons arrived from Kandahar, that Meer Dil Khan was about to leave that place with a few suwars to visit Dost Mahomed, to com. municate confidentially with him regarding some important affairs. It is also said that the son of Mahomed Morad Beg, ruler of Kurizez, may be shortly expected at Cabo!, on a visit also of an important nature." CHINA. (From the Bombay Overland Courier ), We last month gave news from China to the 30th of October, and our present advices extend to the Ist of December, having beer. brought by her' Majesty's steamer Spiteful, which left Hong. ... tong on that day. The Most prominent points of the intelligence 'are iigning of the supplementary treaty, the occurrence of a large 'and 'destructive fire at; Canton, and the. death of Major E Pottinger. The treaty was signed on Sunday, the Bth of October, in a bUilding erected fOr the occasion near the Anunghoy fort, • •and not - far, it is said,' from where the opium , was destroyed- by Lin. Sir Henry Pottinger had proceeded thither the previous evening, accompanied by his suite and several other gentlemen and after 'the signatures of the two Chinese officers, the Imperial Commissioner Keying, and the Governor of Canton, Ke Kung; to 7 gether with that of her Majesty's Plenipotentiary, had been duly affixed to the document, the whole party were regaled with a dinner. They returned to Macao Roads the same night. The' Emperor had consented to ratify the treaty without waiting for, her. Majesty's ratification, and a copy was accordingly dispatched to Pekin for that purpose. This, on its return, would be dispatched to England; and it was expected to be received by the 20th December. - Major Eldred Pottinger, who had arrived in China On a visit to Sir Henry, was selected as the bearer, and would have lefttit that capacity, had he not unhappily fallen- a vie tim to disease id Hong-Kong. lie expired at GOVernMent Honsef - Victoria,.on the 15th of November, "It were needless," says the Friend of China, " to pass an eulogy upon thg character or merits of the Hero 'of Herat and Caubul; his name wilt be en. rolled by posterity amongst the foremost of - those who, by their • prudence,' talent, and bravery, hive served their country ih - emer gencies which had appalled less nobletninds." The Supplementary Treaty is promulgated by the Plenipotentiary, and to which, until the treaty itself is "duly ratified, exchanged, and published," 1 obedience is strictly enjoined. We also give a number of official documents of different descriptions, comprising 'proctamatiOns and notifications both. from . the British and Chinese au. Glorifies. The Gqvernment of India has been famed fur !ts proclamations ; but the - Government of Hong. „ Korg seems to surpass it im measura bl y. Short as • has` beeti the period of the latter's existence, its " State papers" would already, we should think, form a portly volume. Amongst the documents to which we allude, the most important are :—A Government notification, under date.4tb October, calling the attention. of the " Masters, Owners, and Consigners" of all merchant vessels sailing under British colours, to the law for tner. • chant seamen, commonly called. Sir James Graham's. Act ; . is. pro. clamation by the Imperial Commissioner, and his-colleagues, de. claying .. " th4 . t the warehonses belonging to the new merchants (outside men), and those which appertain to the old merchants (i. e. Hong merchants); are now to be considered identical, without tiny difference whatsoever," and the object, of which-also is," to eneour f . age and promote a wider extension of the trade, inasmuch as the merchants of all nations resort to the provinceof dat.toti for the purposes of traffic ;" a proclamation by Sir Henry Pottinger, - pull : . lishing an order by the Queen in Council, and copies of a commir r nication received from the Imperial Commissioner, and of the reply afforded to it, relative to the resort of merchant vessels to other ports than those thrown open by the treaty, a thing which, as our readers are aware, has been expressly forbidden ; and finally, a " General Memorandum," addressed to' the Commanders of her Majesty's vessels, and those of thc Indian navy, in the China seas, calling attention to /Itch parts of the Plenipotentiary's proclama tion last noticed as impose particular duties on the naval force. The Hong tr erchants have again 'petitioned Ke Kung, the Gover. nor-General of Canton, on the subject of' their debts and liabili ties ; but their memorialcoutains nothing worthy of special notide • beyond a modest request that Government would levy contribu- Moo on the merchants engaged in trade under the new system; to aid in releasing them from their peeuniaYy Obligations. The Gq•- verpor of Canton, in reply, informs them that their suggestion can.. not be complied with, and recommends them to cease petitioning, and wait patiently till proper officers are appointed to give the matter deliberation. The latest accounts describe trade at Canton as having slightly recoveregl from its late - depression, a circumstance owing to the relaxation in some measure of the injudicious regulations which - formerly trammelled it. The Chinese Government, it is believed, intends remitting its claims, to a goad extent, on the Hong mer chants, and this act of consideration, should it really be bestowed, will no doubt tend greatly to improve the state of commercial af fairs. The fire, which took place on the 24th and 25th of Dote. bey, nompletely destroyed the Danish and Spanish Hongs, and a portion of the French, together with about twelve hundred houses, and a vast amount of property of every description. The British Consulate was burnt out, but the . papers were saved. It is esti mated that the value of the goods belonging to the Chinese, which were lost during the fire, amounts to 300,000 dollars. Another fire broke out on the 26th, but was fortunately got under before any considerable injury was One. Reason exists to believe that both were the ; acts of Incendiaries. The ground formerly occu pied by the British and Dutch factories has been rented by the British authorities, who propose erecting thereupon the necessary Consular offices, and letting the remainder to private parties. The Consuls for Amoy and Shanghai have arrived at their desti. nations. Henry Gribble, Esq., is Consul for Amoy; Captain G. Balfour, of the Madras artillery, for Shanghai. R. Thom, Esq., has been appointed officiating Consul at Ningpo, and by the last:amounts had proceeded, or was about to proceed, to the scene of his duties. The importation of goods at Ningpo, even according to the new tariff, is prohibited pending his arrival. Trade at Chusan had been active, but by the latest advises was rather fiat. No Consul has at yet been appointed at Foo-chow-foo. • COMMERCIAL .INTELLIGENCE. (From the Overland Price Current, Jan. 1.)
