DUBLIN, AUGUST 17.
The crown, warred by the, failure in the former
trial of Mr. O'Doherty, rave supplied further evidence
to satisfy any difficult juror. His handwriting to the
declaration has been pro-sci, and its similarity to cer-
tain MSS. of the indicted articles established. It was
also proved that he took n active part in the manage-
ment of the Tribune. We may not, therefore, doubt
that in his case justice tral fail again.
The news from the so:th respecting the potato is
the reverse of agreeable. The disease is enormously
on the increase there ; bat certainly, if anything could
check it, it would be a continuance of the weather of
this morning.

IN THE MATTER OF TENN.—CUSTODY OF INFANTS.—
The court delivered out an order in this petition, discharging
the order and undertaking of the 9th inst., and •vith the con-
sent of Mr. Iynn, and without prejudice, it was ordered
thst the infants be not rsasoved out of the county of Middle-
sex until further order; that the female infant should re-
main in the custody of Mrs. Ipso and Mrs. Ainsworth, the
latter undertaking to provide proper maintenance and educa-
tion; and with the cornett of Mr. lynn, and without pre-
' judice to :my proceedings by him, under the habeas corpus,
at law, for the purposes of obtaining possesdon of the two

nance and education for them:and to permit them to visit and
remain with their mother six hours daily at her residence,
within St. John's-wood, without his presence or the presence
of any other Iverson.

POLICE.—YESTERDAY.
MANSION-HOUSE. —Sentriost. —J. J. Baer was
charged with a misdemeanor. Mr. Hayward, from the
office of the Solicitor to the Treasury, attended for the pro-
recution.—Mr..l. White, short-hand writer, said: "Oa the
even"ng of Friday the 2Sth July last, I attended a meeting
at ,he theatre, in Milton-street, City. At one time there
were upwards of 1,000 persons present. I saw a bill lying
on the table headed, ' la Ireland up?' end calling on the
people to attend in order to take the state of that country
into consideration. The meeting completed of the poorer
daises, mostly Irish la ourens, and such a clams of people as
is ally seen at chartist meetings. There were a great
number of wemen. I took notes of the speeches made dur-
ing the evening, in !port-hand. I know the defendant, In
the course of that evening I heard him make a speech, which
I took down in short-hand. In the course of this speech
the defendant moved the following resolution :
itesalsed that this tee tLSK deeply sympathises with the struggling
y,,iple of Ireland, and is resoivoil to assist them by all and every
means in their power, and that we consider the phrical preparations
of the government un; at:triable without the proper remedial measures
attached thereto.
He then said: " Brother chartist., brethren, republicans,
brother democrats, for I don't know that I can address you
by any better rime than democrats, for the principle of de-
mocracy is the principle of fair play; the principle of demo-
cruel is the principle of a free stage to all and no favour to
any; the principle of democracy is the rights of the rich and
no more ; the principle of democracy is the rights of the poor nd
no less." After further praise of demoersey,and after quoting
the Marseillaise Hymn, he went on to say that neither bolts
our bars had tamed John Mitchel nor Ernest Jones. Did
they (he said) tame the men of old when they were burned
at the stake: No; they actually progressed their prin-
ciples more than they would have progressed. Tyrants be-
ware. You had better shut up shop; you had better put up
your swords and cut and run, for democracy is spreading,
depend upon it, and sooner or later will overwhelm you all.
My friends, we live in strange times, and yet it is a privilege
to live in these times. We have seen a great many things;
we have seen lords, and dukes, and princes, and all the rest
of the mob in different nations cut and run. Louis Philippe
had to change his clothes and his whiskers, andto take his urn-
brells and sun and cut away. We have seen great changes
arid we shall live to see greater changes yet. As a democrat,
I I hope so. If Lord John Russell wants to know what I am,
I am a merchant in the City of Landon ; and though perhaps
I bare not much rhino, I am more respectable than many
other merchants, for Igo to market with ready money. I
sell fish about the streets. The remainder of the
speech consisted chiefly of extracts from the Nero York
Herald, in violent abuse of the English government.
After reading several extracts of this kind, the speaker said,
The question is asked in the bill, "Is Ireland up ?" I think
you will all own she has been down long enough; and an-
other thing you will own, too, I think, that it is time sho
was up, and if she does not get up herself, as one man,
serve her right for being down; servo any willing
slaves right who kiss the chains that bind them.
I ask how long shall tyrants reign ? Tyrants have reigned
in Ireland for seven centuries nearly, and I hope that those
that have mocked her sufferings and starved her may now
meet *ith the rewa rd they merit, whoever they are." Fur-
ther on he adds : " I say 'he government are acting either
very- roguishly or very insanely, and therefore I say openly
and advisedly, that neither a roguish government nor an in-
sane government ought to exist." After reading this speech,
which was very lengthy, the witness went on to say that it
was received with loud applause.—The defendant thanked
the witness for the fairness of his report.—D. bloy, • police-
man who apprehended the prisoner, said that at the station-
house he (the prisoner) took from his pocket a paper, now
produced, containing extracts from different writers on liberty
and " tyrannical governments." The prisoner reserved his
defence, and was fully committed for trial.
WORSHIP-STREET. A STOLEN Not's. —Mr. R.
Franks, a commission-agent, was finally examined, charged
with basing had recent possession of a 501. Bank of England
note, which had been stolen from the person of Mr. John
Terry, an attorney's clerk, on the Chelmsford race-course,
on the 11th inst., under the circumstances detailed in our
paper of Tuesday last.—Mr. Arnold said that he certainly con-
sidered that it was a question for • jury, and he therefore
made up his mind to commit the prisoner for trial, but ac-
cepted bail for his appearance, himself in 15014 luta two sure-
ties in 751. each.
