IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Ocr. 2..
The defeat of the crown lawyers in the prooeedinl
preliminary to Mr. Du4's trial is still the subject of
conversation among all circles. Boole friends of the
Attorney-General allege that no discredit con attach
to him, as he was in Clonmel when the proceedings
held to be bad were commenced,and he had Denies in
them. But, apart from the circumstance that be must
have advised upon them, one would suppose it was
his duty also to direct the precise steps to be taken.
At all events, when he had returned to Dublin, which
he did before the indictment was preferred, or the
habeas corpus for transfer of custody was is-
sued, the first law officer ought much rather
to have forgone all these proceedings, seeing they
must be defeated for irregularity, than proceed in a
COMBO where he must inevitably be worsted.
A Waterford paper narrates an incident is the
111101 Te of Mr. Doheny, which affords a singular proof
of his unpopularity amongst many of his own coun-
trymen, and of the antagonism between the O'Con-
Plate and Young Ireland repealer.. While in Loudon,
en node for France, he was recognised by a Tipperary
man who served milk at the coffee-hoses- ;where
Doheny put up. This man had conceived such
an antipathy to him for his opposition to, and
abuse of, O'Connell, that he forthwith, and with-
out any view to reward of any kind, went and de-
nounced him to the authorities. Ile had only left the
coffee-house a few minutes when the police arrived.
He finally escaped in the garb of • catholic clergyman.
A letter is said to have been received in this city
from Mr. D'Arey M'Gee, announcing his safe arrival
in Philadelphia.
It is reported that • case on behalf of Mr. B.
O'Brien and the other state prisoners convicted of
high treason at Clonmel, has been laid before Mr.
Jonathan Henn, who has given it as his opinion that,
inasmuch as the act of last session extended the whole
treason law of England to Ireland, the prisoners were
entitled to a list of the witnesses, and acopy of thejiiry
panel ten days before trial ; aid that, in consequence of
the refusal of the crown to grant these, the writ of error
must muceeed, and the judgment must be quashed;
and further, that in case another indictment for high
treason should be.preferrcd against the prisoners they
would have • right to plead " autre foie convict.
Mr. Henn is certainly one of the highest authorities
at the Irish bar.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE "DAILY NEWS."
Sir,—A revision of the calculations, and of the
principle upon which the estimate of weekly traMo required
to pay • dividend of 7 per cent. upon the total capital when
called up, of 21,047,71,1., has made it appear that the nand-
nal addition to the capital stock in the adjustment of the
terms of amaganution with the Grand Junction Company,
1816, was, by an °minion, regarded as an ameS
available for reduction of loan ; and on the other
hand, that working expenses at 40 per cent. have
been charged upon a portion of the income to which, being
net, such espenem do not apply, viz., rents from houses, dtc.,
and interest upon bankers' balances arising from revenue.
These errors the directors hasten to acknowledge, and in-
Eruct me to request that you will publish in your paper of
Monday morning the following corrected statement. Prom
the summary it will be seen that the total ultimate expendi-
ture is expected to be 25,862,0121.

Gsorge Bridge Mulles, the chartist, was placed at the bar
to receive judgment.
The primmer, when asked if he bad anything to my why
sentence should not be pronounced upon him, said that he
had intended, originally, to have said a great deal at this
point of the case, but, by the advice of his counsel, who had
so ably defended him. he should refrain from so doing. But
there was one thing which he felt compelled to ailed. to,
and that was the plan that had been adduced in evi-
dence against him sworn to have been drawn by him, and
that certain winds written upon it were in his
handwriting. He would solemnly declare that he had never
drawn up that plan, that lie had written upon it ; in
fact he bad never before seen it until it was
produced against him, and he would take the most
mean and solemn oath ern taken by man as to the
truth of what be was saying. He had heard of such
a plan, he would admit, but the man who had made
it was, If not now in Treece, thew his beet to go to
