The information on which Mr. Mitchel has been com mitted to prison, charges him with publishing in the United Irishman of the 6th and 13th instant certain arti cles tending " to compass and deprive our most gracious lady the Queen from the style, honour, and royal name of the Imperial Crown of the United Kingdom, and to levy war against her Majesty within the said United Kingdom, n order by force and constraint to compel her Majesty to change her measures and counsels." On Mr. Mitchel's arriving at Newgate he was handed over to the gaoler. He was then brought into a room on the upper story of the prison, with a single window look ing into Green-street. It contained no bed or bedstead. and he was infOrmed that such was the apartment as signed to him, and that he might have straw to sleep on. that they had nothing else. Indignantly refusing this " kind accommodation," and resolved to spend the night walking about his cell, hewas told that any further clnveni ence he might require he would be permitted to have, if brought to him. He sent to his own house for a hair mattrass, which was at once brought, and having settled it on two or three forms, he passed the night there. On Sunday morning, at an early hour, Mr. -Mitchel's lady came to the prison and was permitted to see him. When it became known through the city that Mr. Mitchel was an inmate of Newgate, numbers of his personal friends, and many whose political doctrines did not exactly coin cide with his, visited him. He was allowed to receive his friends and legal advisers in the prison yard, a narrow flagged square. ECf)NOMIC LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY, NO. 6, NEW-BRIDGE-.STREET, BLACKFRIARS, LONDON.

The Court was crowded in every part, and the traverser, who was attended by his securities and Mr. J. F. Meagher, whose trial is fixed for to-day, was loudly cheered. A jury (one of whom is a member of the Society of Friends) having been sworn, the Attorney-General, in a very able address, stated the particulars of the case against the prisoner. He was charged " with (being a wicked, seditious, and turbulent person) having delivered a speech on the 15th Mprch, in Dublin, for the purpose of exciting hatred and contempt against the Queen, and inducing the people to rise in re bellion." The meeting in question was that at which an address of congratulation to the French republic was carried. The speech and address having 'been proved by Mr. Hodges, tbe government reporter, Mr. Butt, Q.C., rose to address the Court for the traverser. After alluding to the high family of Mr. O'Brien—" a family so ancient that the Viaeroy who prosecutes him is proud to boast relationship to his blood," he said that Mr. O'Brien was not a man who had nothing to lose, but a man of fortune a man of station, who had embarked and risked all he possessed in that, whether it be right or wrong, which he believed to be for his country's good. He then went on as follows :—" Now that I have met and conversed with him, as between counsel and client, I can confidently say, that there is not in the inmost recesses of his heart a single thought that is not worthy of a high and noble-minded man ; and when I reflect that the effect of a verdict of guilty will be to con sign such a man to prison, I am, I confess, anxious for you, gentlemen, for himself, and for the country—for, believe me, all cannot be right in a country in which such a man as Wm. S. O'Brien is guilty, if guilty you pronounce him to be, of sedition." _ _ At the conclusion of this sentence, the majority of the bar, together with the ladies and gentlemen in the gal leries, rose, and loudly cheered the sentiments of the learned counsel. THE COURT..—I beg to state, once for all, that if there be attempted a second manifestation of this kind, I will order the court to be cleared. The learned counsel expressed his regret at the occur rence, and then went on to contend that Mr. O'Brien was a firm supporter of the monarchy, and that he had made no attempt to subvert the authority of the Queen in Ireland, but merely wished to restore the ancient consti tution. Mr. Sergeant Warren rose to reply, and was speaking when the post left last night. THIRD EDITION.

LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET.—THis DAY. _ _ _ The Share Market which last night, both here and in London, begun to rally a little from the decline of the last few days, has had another blow this morning. The telegraphic news from Paris has caused all stocks to be offered at lower prices, and very little business has been done. The quotations were : Ambergates, 21 dis. ; East Lancashire, 7* dis. ; Great Western, 9i dis. ; Leedg fifths, 1 I 1 dis. ; London Stock, 1311, 4-Shares, 2* pm. ; Midland Stock, 10 4 1 31, 1-Shares, 5 * 1 ; North Staffords, 2w ; Dover No. 4, 3* dis. ; New Berwicks, 14 prem. ; York and North Midland, 69. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE-THIS DAY. From the continued detention of vessels in the Baltic, and scarcely any spring shipments having yet come in from Ame rica, our supplies of foreign Grain, since this day week, are perfectly, insignificant, and those of English and Irish produce, altogether, very limited in amount. In several of the leading markets of Otis country and Ire land towards the end of last week, the Wheat trade was re. ported somewhat more buoyant, in others rather the reverse, but generally without any important change in prices : in most directions, however, the value of all kinds of spring corn inclined a little upwards, owing to the existing drought, and though the Wheat plant is stated to be greatly improved, yet for every other crop the want of rain is evident. With a good attendance of millers at this day's market, the Wheat trade assumed a better tone, particularly for Irish and the lower kinds of foreign. in which a moderate business was transacted at an advance of Id. to 2d. per 70Ibs. ; but in the superior descriptions of either British or foreign no amend ment was realized. Irish Flour was rather more saleable, at an improvement of Is. per sack, but in American we have no change to note. Grinding Barley 2s. per quarter dearer, and Malt fully sup ported late prices. Beans generally obtained is. per quarter over the rates last noted. In Pease no variation. Oats were taken off rather more freely, at an advance of Id, per 451 b. Oatmeal obtained rather higher rates. Indian Corn continued to meet a very eager demand for land, at an amendment of 2s. to 2s. 6d. per qr. Corn Meal obtained 13s. to 13s. 3d. per barrel. tll r •-• .-.1 t) I r• t:, 4.• : ..., V. ..1 tt n n t " Si .• 4 2 -rP4 Ps q 2 l:4 :'.. •< r, ', C d 9 5. gise gr. -IF K'4 0 .' 5., '"ci ....

The TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of this Company took place on Tuesday, the 15th of February, within the Company's Office, No. 3, George-street, Edinburgh, GEORGE MOIR, Esq., Advocate, in the Chair. The Report and Statements submitted by the Directors con tained a very satisfactory account of the progress of the Insti tution during the year 1847. It was reported: — That the N umBER OF PoLiciss for Life Assurance issued by the Company from 15th November, 1846, to 15th No vember, 1847, was 621. That the Sums ASSURED during the same period, con tained in these Policies, amounted to £443,578 4s. lid. That the NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS for Policies made to the Company, and from which the above transactions were selected, was 804, containing proposals for Assu rance to the extent of .e 591,653 Bs. That the ANNUAL REVENUE of the Company, as at 15th November, 1847, was .131,316 10s. 7d. That the WHOLE AMOUNT OF ASSURANCES covered by the Company's Policies, in force at 15th November, 1847, was .3,252,090 148. led. The Report then proceeded as follows : " The past year has been marked by the most extraordinary features as regards commercial affairs and general credit; but, while all classes of society, especially the mercantiie commu nity, and our public institutions connected with the general affairs of commerce, have felt the pressure of the times, the Life Assurance Institutions of the country have stood unaf fected by the crisis. Nothing can tend more to extend confi dence in these Institutions than this result; and it is to be hoped they will always be found affording protection and dis pensing benefits to all connected with them, unaffected by those periodical changes. " Notwithstanding the unfortunate position of the country during the past year, the amount of new business transacted by this Company has exceeded to a large amount the business of the previous year. The claims during the year have been greater in proportion than usual ; but when the increased mortality throughout the kingdom generally is remembered, the Directors consider they have reason to be well satisfied with the results."

DRUG AND PATENT MEDICINE WAREHOUSE, 5, PARADISE-STREET, (3d. door from Church-street, and facing Loal-.etrietJ. ADDRESS. IRS. PARKES, in making her appearance before ; the Public, with her last " GRAND CLUB SUBSCRIP TION," is anxious to address a few words to those of her Friends.-Patrons, and Subscribers in Liverpool, whowrere mem bers of her "Suplemental" Scheme, which—opening inJanuary and closing in July last—was announced at its commencement as- being intended for a final distribution of that magnificent property, in the Fine Arts of this country, which Mrs. Parkes has.had the honour of freeing from monopoly, and throwing open,with easy and attractive acceptability, taithe possession of the Public. Mrs. Parkes, in then announcing that "SUPPLEMENT" as final, did not intend the old dramatic deception of "more last wards;" no second farewell benefit was witl,liriiher contempla• tion ; and she looked to the fall of the curtain with the belief that. it would never be raised again by her ; ,was thankful for what her friends were doing, and looked to her enterprise to a conclusion, so as to make it a pleasurable memory to all engaged in its pursuit ; but, under the force of circumstances, the curtain fell, as it were, in mid-performance ! With a sale of only five thousand portions out of the ten thousand proposed, the summer season foxed on the close of the distribution, and Mrs. Parkes was orly consoled for her large sacrifices, at the half-way termination of her " Supple mental Subscription," by the belief that its members and the public would give her credit for honesty and enterprise in the cause of Art, and for caring less for her profit than their praise, in promoting the exercise of its influence; and the freedom of its trade. It is now that the noble property still; remaining from that "Supplement" upon her hands suggests* and indeed demands, that Mrs. Parkes should raise that curzin which had prema turely fallen, for the purpose, as it were, of renewing the per formance, and really concluding her engagement with the pub lic. And let it be impressed, that in sa doing she brings a bill of fare so additionally powerful and attractive—so replete with strength, novelty, and riches, that all who encouraged her Supplemental scheme may assure themselves of advantage and satisfaction from the more brilliant finale of this last "GRAND CLUB SUBSCRIPTION." None of her old friends can be by possibility disappointed ; on the contrary, she holds • out to them a prospect to make the." Pleasures°, Hope," in the treasures of her parting distribution, exceed the" Pleasures of Memory," derivable from the success and satisfaction of each that has gone before. From the liberal spirit of commercial Liverpool, she expects a due appreciation of the motives- that have spurred her on ; and she confidently appeals to her former subscribers to in crease the value of their patronage with a muster-roll of new friends —remembering that the inoortance of her last "GRAND &rascal PTION" is enhanced by a leading allotment of "TH REE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED GUIN.RAS;" and that the sp!endid. LIBRARY CABINET, magnificently sculptured, in which its unique treasure is contained, is only the richest of the other elegant pictorial cabinets, and unrivaled /millings which sur round so many of her allotments„with every variety of device.

To Professor HOLLOWAY. SIR,-1 before informed you that my wife had been tapped three times for the Dropsy, but by the blessing of God upon your Pills, and her perseverance in taking them, the water has now been kept off 18 months by their means, which is a great mercy. (Signed) WILLIAM GARDN ER. DISORDER OF THE LIVER AND KIDNEYS. Extract of a Letter from Mr. .T. K. Heydon, dated 78, King street, Sydney, New South Wales, the 30th Sept., 1847. To Professor HOLLOWAY. SIR,—I have the pleasure to inform you that, Stuart A. Do naldson, Esq., an eminent Merchant and Agriculturist, and also a Magistrate of this Town, called on me on the 18th inst., and purchased your Medicines to the amount of FOURTEEN POUNDS to be forwarded to his Sheep Stations in New England. He stated that one of his Overseers had come to Sydney some time previously for medical aid, his disorder being an affection of the Liver and Kidneys—that he had placed the man for three months under the care of one of the best Surgeons, with out any good resulting from the treatment ; the man then in despair used your Pills and Ointment, and much to his own and Mr. Donaldson's astonishment, was completely restored to his health by their means. Now this surprising cure was effected in about ten days. (Signed) - J. K. HEYDON. THE EARL OF ALDBOROUGH CURED OF A LIVER AND STOMACH COMPLAINT. Extract of a Letter from the Earl of Aldborough, dated Villa Messina, Leghorn, 21st February, 1845. To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY.

I now take . this opportunity of send ing-you an order for the amount, and, at the same time, to add that your pills have effected a cure of a disorder in my Liver and Stomach, which all the most eminent of the Faculty at home, and all over the Continent, had not been able to effect ; nay, not even the waters of Carlsbad and Marienbad. I wish to have another Box and a Pot of the Ointment, in case any of my family should ever require either. Your most obliged and obedient servant, (Signed) ALDBOROUGH.

NATURE'S CHIEFEST ORNAMENT.—AII who are aware of the greatinnportance of a Fine Head of Hair, and its paramount interest over all that pertains to the personal appearance, have hailed the introduction of the BALM of COLUMBIA to their notice with the liveliest satisfaction. Of this high appreciation C. and A. OLDRIDGE have the most convincing proof, in the numerous voluntary testi monials and recommendations which they have received and published by permission from time to time. The following letter is strongly expressive of the advantages resulting from its use : " The Farm, Lymington, Hants, Feb 9, 1848. " Gentlemen,—ln justice to you I think I ought to tell you that your BALM of COLUMBIA has entirely restored my hair, which, from a long residence in the West Indies, and illness there, was nearly all gone before I began to use it. I have no objection to your making use of my name in any way as re gards the sale of your BALM of COLUMBIA. I think it a duty I owe to the public in general.—Your obedient servant, . . _ " J. DELAY WILSON. "To Messrs. C and A. Oldridge, - • 1, Wellington-street, the second house from the Strand, " London." OLDRIDGE'S BALM causes Whiskers and Eye-brows to grow, prevents the Hair from turning grey, and the first application causes it to curl bfautifully, frees it from scurf, and stops it from falling off.

CARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION PAINT, specially patronised by the British and other Governments, the Hon. East India Company, the New River Company, the Principal Dock Companies, and other Public Bodies. Manufactured by WALTER CARSON, (Successor to the Inventors,) 15, TOKEN HOUSE YARD, (back of the Bank of England,) London. The Anti-Corrosion Paint has been used by the Hon. Board of Ordnance for upwards of half a century, who have proved it to prevent rust or corrosion on iron longer and better than the very best white lead or any other description of Paint •, and in consequence of its possessing this invaluable quality, all the iron guns and gun carriages, both for land and sea service, have been painted with it for the above period. It has also been used in great quantities by other public bodies, and by numbers of Gentlemen of the first distinction, to preserve wooden houses, farm and other outbuildings, conservatories, park-paling, gates, iron railings, iron hurdles, copper, zinc, lead, old comp°, &c. fronts, and tiles to represent slating. It will be found a very superior preservative of iron steam boats, iron bridges, piers, or any other extensive iron works. This Paint is admirably adapted for preventing the decay of old Stone or Brick Mansions, Churches, or other public edifices requiring an effectual defence against the elements, as it will b ec ome harder than stone in a few months after it is laid on. It is particularly recommended to West India Proprietors, Emigrants, and others connected with the Colonies, who will find it to stand all climates better than any other Pah.t. The superiority of the Anti-Corrosion to any other Paint may be easily inferred from the simple fact, that its use has been always most strenuously opposed by Co or Manufacturers, Painters, Oil and Colormen, and all others interested in the sale of common Paint. Noblemen and Landed Proprietors, anxious to have their outbuildings, &c. properly preserved, will effect a very consi derable saving by desiring' their Stewards to order the Anti. Corrosion Paint, as any labourer can lay it on, thereby avoiding the enormous charges generally made by Painters. The Anti-Corrosion is a Powder, and it will keep any length of time. Colors : White stone, light ditto, drab or Portland ditto, Bath ditto, light and dark yellow ditto, light and dark oak, brown, light and dark lead, light and dark chocolate, bright and dark red, copper and black, 345. per cwt. ; invisible green, 508., deep green, 605., bright green, 605., and blue, (for carts and wagons,) 60s. per cwt.

'the expense of the colors at 343. per cwt., when the Oil is added, is about 4d. per lb.; and those at 60s. are about 6d. per lb. In submitting particulars and.prices of the Anti-Corrosion Paint, W. C. begs respectfully to call the attention of the No bility, Gentry, and others having out-door work to preserve, to the testimonials in its favour, which, from their number, (upwards of 300,) and the rank and station in society of those who have given them, have, perhaps, never yet been equalled by anything of the kind hitherto brought before the public notice. • A copy will be sent on application.

This excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is unat tended with the least danger or inconvenience; hundreds have experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was first introduced; and such are the properties of this invaluable Specific that persons labouring under the most distressing Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Lumbago, and rendered thereby incapable of assisting themselves, have been rejieved in a few hours. Amongst ninny which are being daily received are the follow mg, testimonials : Well-street, Cripepgate. , •, Sin,—l have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout and Rheumatism, not a part from my head to my feet free from pain, and as helpless as an infant : not even a finger could I move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me dical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that I might remain months in my deplorable situation. Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I might have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close appli cation of four days, my troublesome companion began to dis appear ; in a week I was capable of IN alking about my room, and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi cine was enabled to leave London. Fearful of another attack, you will please to send six bottles.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,— D. W. STONE. liforley's Hotel, Strand; 181 h August, 1846. SIR S I have hitherto had a prejudice against having recourse to advertised medicines, but as I have for years been a severe sufferer from Lumbago, as well as Sciatica, and having tried several of the most eminent Physicians of London and Paris, I was induced by a friend to make a trial of your liquid, called " Serjeant's Lotion." I think it in gratitude due to you to sa y in less than an hour from the time I applied the Lotion, I felt the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate -effect was to produce a short but tranquil and most refreshing slumber, from which I awoke to enjoy that which was, from its novelty, the greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom rom nain. The number of poor souls that suffer as I have is immense, and if the publication of this testimony can induce one to accept of the salvation you offer, I shall feel that I have not lived-in vain.—With many thanks, am yours, HENRI VI LLENNEVE. 14, Belmont place, Wandsworth - road, Oct. 26, 1844. STR,—I feel in duty bound to acknowledge, that after suffer ing acute pains from Sciatica, or severe Rheumatic affection in the hip-joint, and being deprived of rest, I was persuaded to try your embrocation, and have the pleasure to say that after three applications I was restored to my usual health ; and, al though two years have passed, I have no return of the disorder. —I am, Sir, gratefully yours, EDWARD NOYES.
