Mr. GLADSTONE is certainly to be pitied, for his grand intention of turning out the Government fell very short last night, and hon. members seemed to have exhausted all their eloquence and excitement in dwelling on the glorious termination of the war in Abyssinia, and in felicitating themselves that the attack of the Fenian, in Australia, had not proved fatal. Be this as it may, it is certain that the debate was most tame and spiritless, so much so that Mr. GLADSTONE himself lost patience at last, and said that if there was not more animation in fused into it that night he would not be unwilling that it should come to a close. Notwithstanding the dulness of the affair, the debate occupied a long time, and various propositions were considered. Sir F. HEYGATE moved an amendment, to the effect that so long as the Union existed the establishment of the Irish Church should be maintained. The voluntary principle, he declared, was inapplicable to Ireland, and to follow Mr. GLADSTONE'S advice would increase discord instead of lessening it. Mr. DYKE, in seconding the amendment, made some sharp thrusts at Mr. GLADSTONE ; first of all by quoting passages from for mer speeches of the right hon. gentleman in support of the Church being maintained in Ireland, and finally by putting this dilemma before him regarding the course he had taken and persisted in contrary to advice and gene ral opinion. " Were the resolutions to have a pros pective effect ? if not it appeared that the House were wasting time by a proceeding of a vague, factious, and party-serving character. If the re solutions were prospective, would not the House in passing them be doing a great injustice to the members of the next Parliament by denying to them the right of bearing any part in Legislation which struck at the root of the religion which the people of this country upheld ?" There was some force in this argument quite apart from the technical diffi culty of the Irish Church question itself, and it cannot be denied that Mr. GLADSTONE'S policy is one thing, and his mode of urging it forward quite another. Mr. W.kTKIN withdrew the amendment of which he had given notice in consequence of Sir F. lIEYGATE'S answering the purpose, but in some respects Mr. WATKIN's was the best and most likely to be carried of the two, for it proposes that the question be left to the settlement of the new Parliament, to be convened as soon as possible. Mr. GORST also asked why the Liberals- had not done anything during their quarter of a century's tenure of office regarding this subject when they appeared so anxious about it, and to have detected its errors with such clearness and precision. The debate, though tame on the whole, con tinued to contain some very bitter and unnecessary taunts, and afforded another instance of the evil which has been brought about by the extraordi nary course pursed by Mr. GLADSTONE. Mr. lloßsmAN's long speech was very caustic, and turned chiefly on the Government instead of keep ing to the point at issue. General PEEL said that so long as a single Fenian existed he would say, " Depend upon it, had it not been for Fenianism these resolutions would not have been carried ;" and certainly this may perhaps be true so far that the present is a most unpropitious time for insist ing on tLe change being made. Mr. BRIGHT did considerable damage to the cause he advocates so strongly by stating in his speeches that Fenianism was not to be wondered at considering the man ner in which Ireland was treated. Lord JOHN MANNERS spoke very decidedly as to the line the Ministry had adopted, and vindicated its character from the aspersions which had been cast upon it: Rat her a sharp discussion took place, when the ad journment of the debate was moved, and Mr. GLADSTONE expressed a hope that the division would be taken that night. Mr. DISRAELI de murred to this, and said that the Government attached more importance to the first resolution than they did to the others. Mr. AYRTON was very eager upon the point, and urged the Premier to do so at once. Mr. 11. WHITBREAD was also indignant, and reminded the Government , 0.,,.....r....r -.%....._•..,- COUNTER CLOTHS FOR LICENCE') VICTUALLERS. J HE only article really suitable for that purpose, I- ss.

We agree with Sir G. BOWYER that hon. members have a right to protest against being gagged or silenced, and he found fault with the disposition manifested in some quarters as to the freedom of debate in that House. No good can accrue to either side of the House from hushing up affairs, and since it has been brought forward there can be no use in summarily disposing of such a question as that these Resolutions touch upon, but it seems somehow to be the wish of the Opposition to have done with them as soon as possible. Last evening, in the two Houses of Parliament, loyal addresses were agreed to, to be presented to her MAJESTY, expressing the indignation and sor row with which the members had received the news of the attempted assassination of the Duke of EDINBURGH, and offering to the QUEEN, at the same time, :their cordial congratulations on the Prince's partial recovery. The addresses were moved, in the Upper House by the Earl of MALMES BURY, and in the Lower House by Mr. DISRAELI, being seconded by the leaders of the Opposition. There could be oh such an occasion but one senti ment, and we have no doubt that the terms of the addresses will more accu rately represent the feelings of the members than such courtly or complimentary documents often do. It would be impossible for the more care less or indifferent to feel otherwise than sorrowful at so painful and unexpected a termination to a visit which appeared so auspicious and so fortunate. As Mr. DISRAELI observed, if anything could aggravate the atrocity of the act, it would be the circumstances under which it was committed. " His Royal High ness was visiting the most distant station of Her MAJESTY'S colonial empire ; he was in a certain de gree representing the majesty of England ; he eli cited a sentiment of earnest enthusiasm which must have touched the heart of the country in which he was ; he had commanded throughout the whole of his travels a reception which was due to his intelligence and his cordial manners. When this act was perpetrated he was fulfilling one of those offices which are the graceful appanages of his :illustrious order ; he was establishing a new charity, and that charity in favour of the noble profession to which he is devoted, in which I may say he was distinguished himself, and which, I trust, he will live to be the ornament." All must join heartily in this hope, and also in the wish th•tt we may soon see and hear the last of that miser able conspiracy which has already wrought so much misery and distress without attempting to remove a single grievance to lighten the load of any oppression, or to effect a single material or patriotic object. The British triumph in Abyssinia was last night alluded to by Mr. DISRAELI in the House of Com mons, and elicited loud and frequent cheers. The right hon. gentleman said, with great appropriate ness, that this was certainly a topic which they approached with unmixed satisfaction. It is the intention of the Government shortly to propose a motion connected with the subject, which will give hon. members an opportunity of expressing their opinions, but meanwhile Mr. DISRAELI congratu lated the House upon the nature of the intelligence to which he referred. As a "feat of arms" he truly declared that "it would be difficult to parallel it for completeness and precision." All are entitled to the gratitude of the House and the country, the troops and the leader, and of course that will be freely accorded to them. Mr. DISRAELI read a passage from a private letter, which declared that the troops evinced " a most admirable spirit, emu lating each other iu cheerful devotion to the inte rests of the expedition, officers and men alike deserve every praise." As for the General himself his eminent services will be touched on hereafter ; the character of the expedition itself was such that !the Premier compared it with the entrance of CORTEZ into Mexico. There is a difference in the meaning of the two undertakings, however, for we did not enter Abyssinia to despoil the innocent, " but in a spirit of justice, huma nity, religion, and toleration, and we are about now to vacate the country in a manner that will prove to the world the purity of our motives." This is strictly true, and the few but impressive words uttered by Mr. DISRAELI were exactly those most suited to the case. When the opportunity presents itself we have no doubt that the House will willingly respond to the invitation of the Government, and put a second seal in recognition of the services of those who condemned this expe dition, that it will induce others to follow in their steps, and should a similar emergency arise hereafter to go and do likewise. The greatest interest and excitement prevailed yesterday when the joyful intelligence was made known, and certainly not without cause, for a better termination to the long anxieties that have been felt on this subject could not possibly have been made, and there remains nothing to wish for, which is a consummation very seldom come to in this world. The long-pending trial of the Fenian prisoners for the Clerkenwell outrage has at length been brought to a close, and the interest still felt in its progress was manifested yesterday in the crowds that thronged the Old Bailey. The result has not been exactly what was predicted. Six persons were accused of participating in the cruel and dastardly attack, and of these six but one has been convicted. At a comparatively early stage of the trial ANNE JUSTICE was discharged, and there was a feeling of relief that a woman was not proved to have been guilty of so remorseless and desperate a crime. Later on Joux O'KEEFE was set free, and the two DESNIONDS, ENGLISH, and BARRET'. alone remained at the bar. The evidence against the three former was not conclusive. They were no doubt mixed up in doubtful company; but although this might damage them in a case of less vital importance, it could not weigh in a matter of life and death. The case against BARRETT, how ever, grew stronger and stronger as time went on, and the attempt to prove an alibi in his favour signally failed. The jury accordingly found him guilty of wilful murder, and returned a verdict of acquittal against the other three. BARRETT showed that he was in some degree pre pared for the result, and delivered a long address when the usual question was put to him ; but, though he proved his ability, he failed to influence his sentence. No time, no pains have been spared to arrive at the truth. The weight of ponderous evidence has been carefully sifted, and the most conflicting and contradictory testimony patiently listened to. The trial has been presided over by a Judge of great experience, and the counsel has in cluded some of the most eminent names at the Bar. Still the public mind will not be altogether satisfied. The Clerkenwell outrage was neither planned nor carried out by one man. However guilty MICHAEL BARRETT may have been there were others as guilty as himself, perhaps more so. These ruffians are still abroad amongst us, while some of their victims are sleeping in the grave, and many more are doomed to a lifetime of suffering and dis figurement. There is more to be done yet respect ing the Clerkenwell outrage, and we can only hope that his approaching doom may influence BARRETT to make some revelations respecting his accomplices. The progress of the Impeachment Trial has been somewhat delayed by the unfortunate illness of Mr. STANBERY, but the struggle between the con tending parties still goes on, and the unwillingness of the Managers to receive any evidence which is favourable to the accused becomes more and more apparent. As a gene:al rule, the more important the testimony which the PRESIDENT'S witnesses have to give, and the more direct its bearings on the case, the more strenuous is the opposition made by the Managers of the trial. Thus we find by the news brought by the City of Paris from New York, on the 18th inst., that Mr FREDE RICK SEWARD testified that the PRESIDENT an nounced Gen. THOMAS'S appointment at a Cabinet meeting, and that he believed Mr. STANTON acqui esced, only asking for time to remove his papers. This evidence was most important in its character, since FREDERICK SEWARD must from his position have been intimately acquainted with the whole affair, and, although it is certainly singular that he should not be able to say with certainty that Mr. STANTON acquiesced in the appointment of THOMAS, yet the fact of its having been openly announced at a Cabinet meeting by the PRESIDENT puts quite a new appearance on the story. Yet the Managers, we find, objected to this evidence, but the Chief Justice decided that it might be retained, and the Senate supported him by 26 votes against 23.. The evidence of Mr. Cox, a lawyer, was also objected to, but the objection was overridden by a majority of eight. Mr. Cox stated that Mr. JOHNSON had employed him to defend Gen. THOMAS in the suit brought against him and Mr. STANTON, and had instructed him to obtain a writ of quo warranto to test STANTON'S right to hold office. He also said that the General's bail had been purposely with drawn in order to obtain a writ of habeas corpus to bring the case before the Supreme Court ; but the object had been defeated (no doubt designedly) by General THouns's release. It will at once be seen that if all this evidence were withheld the PRESIDENT'S case would be materially damaged without any legal or constitutional end being gained. The Chief Justice generally lends his support to the counsel for the defence in overriding these objections, but he does not do so invariably. He ruled out as inadmissible Mr. JOHN SON'S reply to the resolution of the Senate which declared STANTON'S removal illegal. The Senate have also ruled out some important testimony offered by Secretary WELLEs respecting a Cabinet meeting held to consider the Tenure-of-office Bill when it was before the PRESIDENT. The defence claimed that they could thereby prove that the whole Cabinet has declared the Tenure-of-Office Bill unconstitutional and advised its veto, SEWARD and STANTON himself being selected to draft the veto message. Yet one of the principal points upon which the PRESIDENT is arraigned is his alleged infraction of the Tenure-of-Office Bill and the removal of STANTON from the War Office If Mr. STANTON himself agreed to veto the measure as unconstitutional, it is, to say the least of it, incon sistent for him to take shelter under it against the PRESIDENT. The evidence of Secretary WELLES was, however, ruled out as inadmissible by 29 to 20 votes, the sentiments of the majority of the members being possibly influenced by the dan gerous nature of the evidence. It is not in this captious and critical spirit that a grave public trial should be conducted. If the character of a national ruler be at stake and his conduct and policy impugned, the great object should be to elicit the broad truth, not to carry this or that point by all the quibbles of the law. The Managers of the Impeachment Trial cannot pretend to impar tiality of public feeling; they have not indeed taken the trouble to make the pretence. It remains to be seen whether the Senate Court is too much under their influence to be independent, or whet her we may look for the yoke of Radical domination being at last broken. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, MONDAY, April 27. Your Abyssinian victory causes different emotions here, Democratic journals, like the Temps and the Arenir National, make use of it to point a moral at the expense of their own Government. See, say they, a nation which under- took a most costly and arduous expedition solely from philanthropic motives, and without the least idea of con quest, and which, having accomplished its task, leaves the country immediately. They contrast this expedition with that of the French to Mexico so different in its object, so different in its result : the one undertaken in the cause of humanity, and ended,when that cause had been sustained, by a brilliant victory ; the other undertaken from a love of territory and utterly and ignominiously defeated. The Siecle even now can scarcely believe that England means to leave Abyssinia altogether. " The traditions of the Eastern policy of the British kingdom have not," says that journal, "yet accus tomed us to the spectacle of an enterprise so costly, con ducted to a satisfactory termination for an object of pure humanity, and without a stain of ambitious calculation." The Opinion Nationale, which has been predicting the failure of your army ever since the expedition was re solved upon, is not at all pleased to find itself a f a l se prophet, and finds consolation only in the fact that Theodore died fighting for the standard of Abyssinian independence. The Liberte ascribes the defeat of the Nexus to his primitive weapons, and concludes a short article with the words " Poor Theodore !" The inspired journa's are making light of the Prussian disarmament. The Constitutionnel, for instance, says : " Many Paris journals, in treating of the furloughs given by the Prussian Minister of War to a certain number of soldiers, would raise this measure to the importance of a political, transaction. The Prussian papers speak of this fact with more sobriety, and give it its true character. As we have already said, the mili tary administration is accustomed to give leave every yeaf' to soldiers who after two years' service have distinguished themselves by their aptitude and the excellence of their conduct. The furloughs at the same time lighten. the charges of the Government, and are revocable directly the needs of the service require it." In other words, the much-talked-of disarmament amounts to nothing, or at least only to this, that the Prussian Government does not think that war is imminent. Nevertheless, King William's speech, at the opening of the German Customs Parlia ment has produced a good effect, and the Bourse has been very firm to-day. I hear that the antagonism between M. Rouher and Marshal Niel becomes more serious every day. The second Minister is all for war, as the first is all for peace. It is rumoured that they will not be able to remain in the Cabinet. But I suspect that the EmperOr will en deavour to retain both Ministers, since the retirement of either would reveal too clearly his policy with regard to the great question of peace or war. M. Henri Baudrillart, the successor of M. Paulin Limayrac as editor of the Constitution ad, publishes his manifesto to-day. It is well written. The writer declares that the history of the Empire is divided into two epochs : the first, when the Emperor suppressed with a strong hand the disorders to which the revo lution of 1848 gave rise ; the second, denoted by the letters of November 24, 1860, and January 19, 1867. If asked when the Empire will be liberal, M. Baudril lart will reply that it has always been liberal, and that there is no instance of a sovereign endowed with such boundless power voluntarily depriving himself of a portion Of it. The Emperor has shewn himself liberal by the enfranchisement of all classes, who now enjoy equal political rights ; liberal by education offered and deve loped ; liberal by the blows struck at the routine of old systems, and by striking off the fetters which bound Commerce. No doubt the Emperor is liable to mistakes ; it is impossible, adds M. Baudrillart, that he should not commit some ; but "let us be just. He pays too dearly for his faults to commit them with levity." So M. Ban drillart will give the Emperor an honest support, happy when he has to praise, sorry when Le has to blame. It is rumoured that the Epoque will be absorbed into the Con.stitutionnel, and that the combined journals will appear under the title of the Union Dynastique. We have had welcome showers in the neighbourhood of Paris. But in some parts of the country the drought continues, and is becoming very serious. In the south a little rain fell, and then the wind changed to the north east and it has become dry again, and water is running short. In several places the bishops are ordering prayers to be offered for rain, whereat the sceptical journals amuse themselves. The Prussian Government is pushing on its fortifica tions. The most urgent are the defences of the North Sea and the fortifying of TrZ;ves. M. Forcade, in one of his latest articles in the Revue des Deux 21Iondes, spoke in high terms of the works now constructing at Ulm. Ile remarked that they were evidently not intended for Count Bismarck, but will be very valuable in a future campaign, as a strong support for the operations of French and Austrian armies. As a criticism on this pleasant view of the case, the Spence asks whether M. Forcade is aware that the works are being constructed under the direction of a Prussian en gineer. Prussia certainly feels no great anxiety respect ing the policy of the South German States in case of war. On every occasion on which the relations between Prussia and France have appeared to indicate a coming war, the Southern States have answered by drawing nearer to the North. The Duke of Nassau, who was deprived of his duke dom by Prussia two years ago, but was allowed to retain his Palace of Biberieh, has, it is said, determined to sell that property, being disgusted at the conduct of the Prussian soldiers towards him. The Rothschilds are be lieved to have bought the greenhouses for £15,000. The castle will probably be sold to a Russian prince. The King of Prussia seems to be always opening Par liaments. That opened this week was the first Customs Parliament of all Germany— South as well as North. King William's speech was decidedly pacific, and he declared that Germany was can friendly terms with all foreign Powers, and that the benefits of peace were likely to be prolonged. If his Majesty includes huge standing a rm i es amon g those benefits, there are some of them that we could afford to dispense with. There has been a terrible fire at Rotterdam, in which six persons lost their lives. One woman, in an upp er storey of the burning house, threw her child doe n to the people below, and then jumped down herself ; both mother and child were caught, and sustained no injury. The Czar has sent the Grank Turk a present of horses. Probably .Abdul Aziz would rather be without Alexander's gifts and his intervention. " Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind." The C o nstitutionnel asserts that the Italian Government h as received grave news from Calabria, threatening the public safety, and that Gener a l S acc hi has received orders to co mmence vigorous operati ons aga i nst the brigandage w hi c h raises its head in that part of the kingdom. The French papers are beginning to insist upon organic changes in the Governnient of Roumania. The recent persecution of the Jews shews that these changes are sorely needed. To-day's obituary acquaints us for the first time of a sad calamity which has happened in New South Wales. On March 15, by the upsetting of a boat on the River Clarence", the Bishop of Grafton and Armidale, his second 'son, and his female servant, were drowned. The deceised' prelate, who was for some years curate .of Eridt4 Green, Tunbridge Wells, was educated at Oriel College, Oxford, where he was B.A. as , bon. 4th class in law and modern history, in 1854, He obtained his degree shortly afterwards. About two years ‘agelhe 'see of .Grafton and Armidale was taken out of the diocese of Newcastle, and Dr. Sawyer was conse crated its first bishop. His death will place a piece of patronage in the hands of the Colonial Secretary.—Tiae death of Mr. Henry Fenwick, formerly M.P. for Sunder- land, at the early age of 48, recalls the memory of the contest which took place in that town a little more than two years ago, when he lost his seat and his Admiralty appointment at the same time. He unsuccessfully contested Sunderland in 1852 against Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., and on that learned gentleman's appointment to the Recordership of Newcastle, in 1854, his seat was vacated, and he offered himself for re-election. Mr. Fenwick again came forward, defeated his antagonist of 1852, and remained one of the members for Sunderland more than eleven years. He bad been returned at the head of the poll at three successive general elections ; when, in the winter of 1865, he accepted from Earl Russell the appointment of civil lord of the Admiralty, and went down to Sunderland to send him again to Par liament. Mr. Alderman Candlish, whom he had defeated by a large majority a few months previously, opposed him, and was returned by a considerable majority. Mr. Fenwick was thus beaten on the same ground which he had taken in opposing Mr. Digby Seymour—a fact which, coupled with his previous success, gained for Sunderland the distinction of being a weathercock constituency. With the loss of his seat in Parliament, of course it was impossible for the hon. gentleman to continue civil lord of the Admiralty ; and he had no alternative but to retire from public life with ruined hopes and in broken health, which even at that time prevented his making a canvass of the electors.—The third death on the list is that of the widow of the late John Leech, who ex pired at Kensington on the 24th instant, having survived her gifted husband a little more than three years. THE FENIAN TRIALS AT THE CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.-THIS DAY. Adjourned at seven o'clock last night, when the Lord Chief Justice had passed sentence upon Barrett, the Cen tral Criminal Court resumed its special sitting this morn ing for the purpose of proceeding with the Fenian trials. The presiding judges were Mr. Baron Bramwell and Mr. Justice Keating. Before the prisoners charged with treason-felony were placed in the dock, Mr. Montague Williams, addressing Mr. Baron Bramwell, asked if it was intended to proceed with the (Alm r indictments preferred against the prisoners acquitted on the first charge of wilfulnmrder in connection with the Clerkenwell explosion. To this it was replied by the learned judge that he must hear what the Attorney. General had to say. Nothing further at that time transpired upon the subject, and Eichard Burke, alias George Berry, alias Edward C. Winslow, alias Wallace ; Joseph Theobald Casey, and Harry Shaw, alias Mullady, were at once placed in the dock, standing indicted for, with divers other evil•disposed persons unknown, feloniously, wickedly, and unlawfully compassing, imagining, inventing, devising., and intending to deprive and depose our Lady the Queen from the style, honour, and royal name of the imptrial crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The appearance of the prisoners was that of men occupying a respectable position in life, and the general aspect and demeanour of Burke, who was dreFsed. in black, and wore tight-fighting black kid gloves, did not at all belie the assertion that he had served as an officer in the Federal army in America. He is 35 years of age. The Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General, Mr. Giffard, Q.C., Mr. Archibald, and Mr. Poland conducted the prosecution. Burke was defended by Mr. Ernest Jones and Mr. Macdonald ; Shaw by Mr. Pater ; and Casey by Mr. F. H. Lewis. When called upon to plead, Burke, in a clear, loud voice, declared he was not guilty, as also did Shaw and Casey, the latter adding, " I am a loyal subject." A jury being placed in the box, Mr. Ernest Jones ten dered a suggestion to be placed on the record that Burke .Was an alien.. This -involved a long discussion, the upshot of which .was that the court received the suggestion on the distinct understanding tla t it meant that Burke was not a natural-born subject.. The suggestion being traversed by the Attorney-Genera4 the jury were sworn to try that issue, the other prisoners being removed from the dock in the meantime. Mr. Ernest Jones then put - in a passport given to Burke, signed by the American Minister, stating that such a document was never given to anyone but a natural-born subject of America. Mr. It. De Tracy Booth, a member of the American bar, examined the passport, and identified - the signature of the American Minister, " Chas. Francis Adams." Proceeding to give evidence upon the American law relating to pass ports, exception was taken by the Attorney-General to the nature of the evidence tendered, and Mr. Baron Bramwell admitted the validity of the objection taken, Mr. Justice Keating concurring. tad:Ur the direction of the court, there being no further evidence, the jury returned a verdict to the effect that the prisoner was not an alien. At this point Burke asked to be allowed to address the court on the decision arrived at, an application to which Mr. Baron Bramwell returned a decided negative, remark. ing that the prisoner appeared by counsel. To this Burke replied that after the course pursued towards him by the Attorney-General during the past week, and the injustice of the decision which compelled him to be tried by a domestic jury, he should request his counsel to with draw. This course was about to be pursued, but, after a consultation with his attorney, Burke said, as he was in formed that the case of two others to be tried after him would be in some sort affected by his own, he would agree to the usual course being pursued, but under protest. Mr. Baron Bramwell : No notice is taken of your pro. test. Burke : Nevertheless, I make it, sir. Mr. Baron Bramwell : Nb notice is taken of it. Before the case proceeded further the Attorney- General announced that he did not intend to proceed against the three prisoners acquitted of the charge of mu T r i c l ler in the case o f S ara h Anne Hodgkinson. foreman of the jury was then instructed to discharge William Desmond, Timothy Desmond, John O'Keefe, Nicholas English, and Ann Justice. The Attorney-General, in stating the case for the Crown, pointed out the provisons of the Act under which the prisoners were indicted for treason-felony. This, the minor offence, was punishable by imprisonment with hard labour for a term not exceeding seven years. For reasons upon which he need not enter, the trial had been removed from the county of Warwick, in which many of the overt acts in connection with the conspiracy charged against the prisoners were committed. Burke was arrested in the neighbourhood of Woburn-square, in November 1867. It would be proved that he was born in Ireland, and for some time past, at all events, had been connected with the Fenian Brotherhood. He held a position in the Federal army, and was in 1565 the head of the Fenian movement in America. One great object of the Fenian i confederaCrin America was to procure arms t o carry ou t the rebellion in Ireland. For thisit would be c shownenbe r purpose, December 1865, Burke was in Birmingham, and that while there in January 1866 he gave an order for two million percussion caps. He also bought a number of re volvers, expending, in the whole, some £2OO. He also at that time took a house in George-street, Birming ham, o g hf i e v aenisi occupiedr reference. en a Cme in urietictwei receiving and ruder the name of Winslow, paying the rent inthat v a p i d c l ea thate l: e e c af largeo u r s es some packages time would that from-several manuf ac t urers he obtained t goods to the ready y t mo o n f ey. £2,oo l o t , in almost be f 1866 Burke w as every ou instance early n i in engaged in sending large packages to Liverpool and beyond, and it would probably be thought by the jury that these packages contained arms, In the middle of 1866 Burke was in L on d on, having probably between February an d June visited Glasgow, Liverpool, and other places, busily engaged in negotiating the purchase of arms and their dispatch. (A letter from the prisoner to a gun-manufac turer in Birmingham, from wh ,m he had made many l ur• chases, asking for a quotation of prices, and signed in the name of Winslow, was read by the Attorney-G , meral, who stated there were many others of a similar kind.) The knowledge of the conspiracy was derived from the evidence of Barney, Massey, and Corrigan, who would be called as witnesses, and who were men who had been themselves engaged in the plot. Their evidence would be rightly commented upon by the counsel for the defence, but their statement would be corroborated by the testimony of unimpeachable witnesses. The learned Attorney-General then proceeded to state that arrangements were made for an assault upon Chester Castle and other places. The castle was to be attacked on the 11th February, 1867, the arms were to be seized, the trains running to Holyhead stopped, and used to convey the spoil thither, when it was to be conveyed by the conspira tors by boat to Ireland. The failure of the Chester attack having been referred to, it was stated that Burke at the time had been ordered from London to superintend opera tions in Ireland. Arrangements were then made for a gene ral rising in Ireland on the sth of March, 1867. and it would be shewn that a number of arms were despatched from Liverpool to Cork under fictitious names. The learned Attorney-General, remarking that there was some doubt as to Burke's movements up to the end of the year, detailed the circumstances under which he was arrested. With regard to the other prisoners, though there was not evidence to show that they had been so long . associated with the Fenian 'conspiracy, it would be proved that they had been more or less deeply implicated in the plot. The first witness called was Inspector Thompson, who, ,examined by Mr. Poland, deposed to the circumstances of 'Burke's arrest in Wobuin-square. The prisoner denied his identity, and Casey, who was with him, endeavoured to rescue him. Eventually Burke broke away from wit ness, but was recaptured and taken to the police-station, followed by Casey, who was himself subsequently taken into custody. By Mr. Ernest Jones : In point of fact, he had not a warrant in his pocket for the arrest of Burke at the time he came up to him in Woburn-square. By Mr. Lewis : It was Casey's own act that he followed Burke to the station. The police-constable who was called in to assist him corroborated the evidence of Inspector Thompson. When the Court reassembled after lunch, the foreman of the jury, addressing Mr. Baron Bramwell, said it was the wish of those who were associated with him that their names should not be made public. The names of the jury in the former trial had been published in some of the daily papers. The learned Jndge replied that no doubt. those who had th e control of such matters would respect tho wish of the jury. The Solicitor-General, in the examination of the informer Vaugh an , e li c ited that ho had been associated with Burke and others in the Fenian movemen t in America. The last topic discussed before witness left America was the arrange ment for sending military o w to r • at the time of the rising.

In that year, during the early part, Fenian meetings, at which Burke and Shaw were present., continued to be held. All the American officers in Liverpool attended the meetings. Burke represented that he came from Stephens, to know if the American officers were satisfied with tho action taken by the directoaate in London. At some of these meetings • the plan of attacking Chester Castle was discussed. Continued in our Late Edition, (r II ER MAJESTY. OSBORNE, April 27.

OLYMPIC THEATRE. On Saturday a capital dramatic version of Mr. Edmund Yates's novel " Black Sheep " was pro duced with great success at this theatre. The plot of the drama differs somewhat from the novel, but we believe the alterations have been suggested by the author, therefore nothing can be regretted on that head. The novel, by its publication in All the Year Round, must have become so generally fami liar that we are only called upon to give an outline of the drama. In the first act we find Stewart Routh (Mr. Charles Mathews), having been more than usually unfortunate at play, is in despe rate want of a sum of money. His only hope lies in his intimate friend George Dallas (Mr. Ashley), over whom Harriet Routh, in the interest of her husband, exercises a potent influence. But the mother of George Dallas has taken unto herself a second husband, who looks with no kindly eye on the excesses of hisson-in-law. Under these circumstances the call of an Americanised Englishman, who has lately arrived from the States, and whom Routh has picked up as a sort of boon companion, is dan gerously suggestive ; for Philip Deane (Mr. G. Vin cent), as he is called, carries about with him a pocket book well-stocked with bank-notes. The prompt ings of an evil mind are readily obeyed. Philip Deane is waylaid and murdered by Routh, and Har riet has all the misery of suspecting what her hus band is about w bile he is absent for the commis sion of crime, and of alighting on proofs of his guilt as he has returned. Retaining her presence of mind, she contrives a chain of evidence that will bring suspicion upon George Dallas, who calls shortly afterwards with a diamond bracelet pri vately given to him by his mother, and whom she persuades to leave the country, and that he may sell the jewels in Amsterdam. The second act takes place, at the ICursaal, Hom burg, where Mrs.. Routh endeavours t 9, tear Stewart away from the fascinations of Mrs. Ireton P. Bem bridge (Mrs. St. Henry), chiefly because Homburg is dangerous, and Dallas has been arrested there on suspicion. To the instinct of Routh's preservation every other feeling is subordinate ; and in the third act, which takes place in Mayfair, and in which the danger of Routh is increased, Harriet would almost persuade Mrs. Bembridge to elope with him, to con vey him to a place of safety. Jem Swain, who has by chance overheard the facts relating to the crime, and who, in spite of his almost servile devotion to Harriet, cannot allow the innocent Dallas to be exe cuted for the crime of another, tells the whole to Tatlow, and thus brings the drama to a conclusion, Routh escaping disgrace by suicide? and Harriet falling lifeless as the announcement is made. The principal part, Harriet Routh, was sustained by Mrs. Charles Mathews, and altogether a more meritorious performance we have never witnessed. It was a complete illustration of the character drawn by the author, and the applause she received was well and richly deserved. Mr. Charles Mathews as Stewart Routh gave us another of those natural representations which have rendered him so great an actor; and Mr. J. Clarke, as Jim Swain, was deserving the highest commendation. Mr. Addi son as Mr. Carruthers; Mr. Ashley, George Dallas; Mr. 11. Wigan, Tatlow ; and Mrs. St. Henry, Mrs. Brembridge, all acted exceedingly well; and, with the addition of some beautiful scenery the result was a most triumphant success.
