PRIPATE CORRESPONDENCE. DUBLIN, OCT. 3. COMMISSION INTELLIGENCE. Thomas Keenan was this day put to the bar on a charge of High Treason, grounded on two clauses, as in almost all the farmer instances, of the Act 25 In. t . . The ATTORNE Y G ENERAL , i n stat i ng t h e case 'or the Crown, adverted to the observations which had been advanced by the Prisoner's Counsel in a former case, relative to the testimony of Approvers;- lie said, that in traiterous conspira. cies, dark and sectet as they usually are, it is nearly impossible that an unimpeached witness could he procured to give testimony of such conspi racies; as moderate, honest,. and industrious men, could hardly be conceived participators in such atrocities, and should the knowledge of such crimes come within the view or contemplation of . honest men, the circumstance could only' occur by the merest casualty imaginable ; penitent Inform ers , therefore, were wisely considered by the Laws of `the Country admissible evidence, being' the best which it is generally possible in similar cases to procure. After the preliminary evidence, of the fact of 'lnsurreetion on the night of the 23d of July last, bad been gone through in the usual m anner , jobs Fleming, an Approver, deposed as in former cases, that he was an ostler at the White. Ball Inn, in 'Thomas.street, -and that front . his re.. aidence there he had easy intercourse and access to the de[iit of pikes near Marshall-alley, with which the back gate of this inn communicated : he saw the Prisoner at the bar' planing pike-staffs in 'MS del.at .for several clays previous to the night of Insurreition, on which night he saw him armed with a pike in Thomas -street, and knew him among the group of rebels, of whom the Wit. ness himself formed one, 1% ho stabbed Lord Kilwar_ den while lying in the street, after having been dragged from his carriage; after this horrible cir cumstance, the Prisoner at the bar, together with the Witness and others retreated towards Meath. row, where the frianner,in.allusion to the recent butchery of that lamented Nobleman exclaimed, " lf all per. sons of his darriptioit had ate. serve d ;is th e sane 4 , 40151 e r, Sky, She SWIM:, OS. 'timid have hut little to apprehemd from the only." Om cross.examination by Mr. Buses, the Witness acknowledged, that when he was a soldier in the Kildare Militia, he received the punishment of eso lashes for an alleged offence, amounting only to a suspicion of having been absent at a mile's distance frnm his quarters. He was previously to the Rebellion in the year It 9 s, MOM a tfiem. her of t h e snesety of United Irishmen; Was con. vineed, that while in the Army, he was neither ac. eased nf, or punished kir any rapes or murders. . Pat.iiistro, another Approver, deposed, that on two oeeasions when he went to the dep6t of pikes, the week preceding the night of the Insurretlion, he saw the Prisoner at t h e bar there, but did not eee him occupied in a ny spec i es o f wor k. Abraham Coate', Esq. a Magistrate of the County of Wicklow, residing in the town of ' Al kl°w deposed, that be SAW the Prisone at the b ar , In company with 2 4 011fitosht that town, some day in the week succeeding the night of the insurreltion, believes it was on the a6th of July. On interrogating the Pri. stoner respelling his name and business, he assumed the name of William Bryan, by which name he, the Wittiest, committed him ; he also said that M'lntosh and he were millwrights, and on their *Ay to Waterford for work ; he denied having been in Dublin on the night of the Insurreition, al leging that lie had been absent for three weeks be. fore that event, working with a Mr. Jones. The evidence for the Crown was here closed. Mr. Bump, in the defence, niadt; a very able speech, in which he took occastm to compliment she moderate and candid LAceedings- of the Crown Lawye rs , as well as the mild and' tem.' Aerate conduit so conspicuous in the Govern. with so ' muc h ' honour silent of .the Country, who, to themselves, while conferring an essential public benefit, had. refrained from precipitating the present Curse of proc!eding, and before they : embarked into it, had reason to think that the ferment in tht public mind . Ltd been allayed. Mr:. Bust; E said, That the only species of defence which he was authorized to advance, arose' from the nature of the evidence of two Approvers, to Whom, by their own account of themselves, no credit could be attached—neither did the slightest collateral circumstance occur, to give to their depositions the least feasibility. He anima& l'tried upon the evidence of these persons, as well as on their charailers, with peculiar force and do. cution ; he also a d vance d t h e good charaCier which his Client bore, as a strong circumstance to induce doubt, and that on such doubt, excited in their minds, it was the duty of the Jury to acquit. 411 " a " der 31 ` 0 'wee, concerned in a cotton manu. Istiory near Finglas.bridge, deposed to the charac. I tr . of the Pris oner at the bar for sixteen years that , hati known him, but could say nothing of his politics, Lord Noitettay charged the Jury, with his ac. Custoined candour and perspicuity. His Lordship 1:c-commended them to retire to their box, which_ they did, and in about five minutes returned a Ver. i tt--Gadry. The Prisoner, previous to Sentence of Death, Which teas pronounced on him, solemnly protested his innocence of Lord Kt LwAltriEN"s murder, anti lirayed for a long day. etiurt adjourned to Wednesday. 'This day John MElntcpb, found guilty of High 'cation at the Special Comtnission on Saturday last, Was executed pursuant to his sentence, in Patrick. ItftCtse A. few daya ago, I;tubert Stoddart, upwards of 4i11Y4r6 of age, set off from Newcastle, at day. 4 reak, and arrived at Tarnside, near' Wigton; in . Cuinherl4ll,l, a journey of Sixty.six miles, the same 4e1•114. He carried a ti N hi ng rud the whole way I , WAS Su- little fattgued by the performance, that neLear was in a, g,TC4I harry tile next:l4o;ning to iv) and corn rtiE riliArtir, Cm on. Garde. Tits interesting tragedy of Dollelat has seldom been represented with more effect than last night at this Theatre. Mrs. St otio:::s has so often displayed her excellence in Lady Randolph, that the Public' -are fully acquainted is iih her high merits in that charatter. Perhaps, however, the situation in which she appeared last night, and being really, as well as dramatically, the mother of the hero . of - the ; piece, - might give an additional charm to her aCting,l and make it come more " home to men's business! and bosoms." Certain it is that she 'levet: sup.: ported the charader with more grace, energy, and! pathos. Mr. KtmBLE, who seems willing' to put:,biii shoulder to the wbeel upon all occasions that may tend to heighten dramatic effect, appeared fOr the first time in the charade( of Vii Norval, anti moat ' ably supported that charafler. His account of his. diseovery of Young Norval in his infant state, and the danger from which.he was rescued, was very afitiling. Considering, however, the general de.. bility'of the venerable shepherd, it might he thought that his tones were somewnat too for. The part of Glanalvon has Seldom appeared so prominent as it did in the hands.of Coasts, who de. : •livered its malevolence, its subtlety, its dissimula.' tiara,. and its sarcastic bitterness, with a diversity! 'of ea i pt,e,ssipn that shewed great powers of aning. At nines, indeed, he "was someivbactoo familiar for tragedy, and the audience were, more titan once touched with Judicrousreeling. Mr. H. SIDDUNS seemed to catch a strong por. tion of maternal fire, for he certainly displayed con. siOrable merit in the part, and much more than in most chararfters that he performs. MURRAY was much too vehement and stormy in Lord Randolph, hut we are inclined to ascribe his fault to feelings that deserve high commen. dation, for he seemed to' be strongly impressed with the analogy between the Invasion of CM.a. DoNi A by the DANES, at the time of dramatic adios, and the menaced hostility of the French at this moment. The audience seemed to feel the aptness and strength of the co.incidence, and warmly participated in the feelings it was calculated to ex. cite.. His performance was however certainly too boisterous, and he was not quire su much in. pos. session of the words as he is in general. Upon the whole this interesting Drama was sus. rained with great ability, and we were highly gra. cited in seeing it attended by a numerous audience, as well as in Witnessing the cordial applause excited p,s,the general merits of the 'reptesentation. The Covent. Garden Manager was so struck with the talents of Miss BkUNTON during .1 probationary rehearsal, that though she had never trod theatrical boards, he would not suffer her to have the trouble of proceeding, but concluded an engagement for three years wtth,her upon the spot. Mr. Kama LE is also said to presage warmly in favour of her comic excellence. If she gives way to the di&ates of her own Wings, there can be little doubt of her sue_ Cott. It was remarked last night that COOKS laid a particular emphasis upon that description of Norval's appearance when he is advancing towards him -14 His port I like."
