IMr. Doheny wu hero placed at the bar, charged by In-
spector Guy with disturbing the court, by cheering and
clapping hands.—Mr. Dohecy deeled the cheering, but said
he bad clapped his hands. Ile did 5,, to show Ms sympathy
with Mr. Xitchel. and he wo ,Id take that opportunity of
toying that in every word Mr. Mitchel had uttered he fully
and entirely concurred. He adopted every untiment.
Judge Lefty said this contemptu .us bearing tendered the
matter worse.
Mr. Doheny denied that he desired to show any contempt
for the court. but he could not avoid expressing hie sympathy
with Mr. Mitchel.
Judge Letroy said he wet disposed to act leniently under
the circumstances, but the ackuowledgment of concurrence
indispolied him to tot to.
Mr. Dobeny again said he had so intention to show any
contempt for the court; but be would 'gain say that the sen-
timents SO nobly uttered by his friend Mitchel had his utter
approbation. Mr. Doheny then, still in custody, applied, as
counsel in behalf of Andrew English and others. charged
with dril:ing, to have their case brought on, as met of those
charged were in humble circumstances, and could not et.
ford to be kept longer, having waited for ten days in expecte-
lon of having Moir ease decided.
Mr. Baldwin, Q C , oat the pert of the government,
said that the case should stand over for next commis•ion,
whereupon
Mr. Doheny applied to have his clients admitted to hail
on their own recortnisanccs, as it wes a great harusbip on
persone in the working classes, and tsperially as they had
been two days In attendance in that court.
Mr. Smyly said the recognisance was to appear from com-
mission to commission, therefore there was too turd of • new
recognisant*.
Mr. Doheney, who WU still a priscner, here said : I did
not mean any disrespect. to the court. I did not mean soy
contempt to the court in giving expression to my feeling ;
but whatever punishment is attached to the • xprusion at
my. sympathy for Mr. Mitchel, and for entirtainining the
opinion I have uttered, I cannot retract it. I repeat, how-
ever, that I did not mean any contempt towards the court.
Baron Lefroy : Then, under those circumstance», and as
you were under excitement, the court discharges you.
Mr. Doheny was then set at liberty.
Mr. Meagher (who was also in the hands of the police in
court) then came forward, and said that he could not re-
tract anything ; but he would say that he did not mean any
disrespect or contempt towards the court.
Ike= Lefroy : The court does not mean to interfere with
elf prevent the expression off cling or sympathy. We have
nothing to do with that; but we have with the presetvation
of order and decorum in court. If you say you wire under
excitement, but did not mutt any coetimpt to the court, we
have no wish to deal harshly with you.
Mr. Meagher : I mgr t the contempt, if I have been
guilty of any, which I did not jutted.
Baron Lefroy : Well the court discharges you.
Mr. Holmes here roes to eddreas the court, when the I
utmost silence was observed. He mid' My lords, I think
had a perfect right to UM the language I did yeeterday. I
wish now to stets that what I said yesterday. I adopt to-day
as my own opinion. I here avow all I have said; and per-
haps under this late act of parliament, ho r Majesty's Attor-
ney General, if I have violated the lew, may think it his
duty to roceed sgainst me in that way. Bt if I have vio-
lated the lawn anything I said, I must, with great respect
to the court, smart that I had a perect right to say what I
stated ; and I now say, in deliberation, that the sentiments I
expressed with respect to England. and her treatment of this
country, are my sentiments, and I here avow them openly.
Baron Lefroy : Call on the next ease.
The Court then procteded with other business.

REMOVAL OF' THE PRISONER.
This (Saturday) morning, at an early hour, Mrs. Mitchel
and her children, accompanied by a kw fri ride, proceeded
from her residence, at Ontarioxerrace, to Newgate, to inter-
change farewells with her convicted husband, previous to
his departure from his native land. A tow persona only
were present.
At a few minutes to four o'clock this evening, the prison
van, surrounded by two squadrons of cavalry, drew up in
front of Navigate prison. Soon after, an official, armed with I
a warrant for the deportation of Mr. Mitchel, which was
handed to the high Asia, entered the prison, and, in
a few rdinutes after, Mr. Mitchel appeared on the balcony,
preceded by sn officer, who earned a bundle which con
tamed the convict dress. Standing fee a few moments un the
balcoey and looking around, he recognised an old acquaintance,
who called out, "Farewell Mitchel," and received a bow in
return. The word " ready beteig giv,n, Mr. Mithhil
entered the van, together with five inspectors of police.
The trumpet sounded—ohs van New onward—and the
dragoons, with drawn sabre., preceded and surrounded it,
and the procession proceeded on its way. Very
few persoas were present at the deportation, which was
quite unexpected. It had been rumoured that Mr Mitchel
would be confined for some days in Richmond Bridewell,
until the pleasure of the mown was known about the writ
of error. This report lost ground in toe count, et the day,
for it was evident that preparations had been =Ain( to dis-
pose of him as rapidly as posthle. In consiquence
the populace thronged to the quays, but the drawbridge
over the canal was drawn up, and all access to the vessel
prohibited. The dragoons forme, along the quay, sad cut
off all communication from the streets that branch off the
11 quays to the north side of the city. A boat, manned by
eight able MAWS, was lying off the Light Moue, into
which he was immediately pieced from tee caravan, and
two oar stroke* placed billion board the abeerwater steamer,
which immediately get ruder weirh. cad neon skated tee
harbour on her way to Spike Island, near Cork.
The following letter from Mr. Mitchel's brother appeared
this evening:

STATE OF THE CITY.
The " force" muttered strong fast tient. About seven
o'clock, divisions marched fromthe dive sllow-houses,
and took up their positions in the ncts shallega—
This attracted en unusual number of idle bp, and elicited
from them loud shouts. At length some atones were thrown,
doubtless by some mischievous urchin, and one conatable
was cut under the eye, another on the forehead, rad othi rs
had their hats broken. The police were ordered into rank
arid to charge the streets, which tie y did several
times. In one et the charges Mr. Drennan, (r. Devin
Healey, Mr. William Mitchel, and Mr. Irwin (
(en
elderly
gentleman), who were returning from New ate after
visiting Mr. Mitchel, were knocked down. Mr. Reilley
tecreived a blow of a baton on the arm, which hurt him con-
siderably, end Mr. Irwin got rather a seven cut On the back
of his head. Mr. Mitchel was also cut en the back of the
head, but not seriously. The three gentlemen were taken
into the medical establishment of Mr. Burke, of Capel street,
where they received such attention as their cases required, and
when their wounds wire dressed they proceeded to their homes.
This was the only casualty we heard of during the night. At
12 o'clock the streets were perfectly tranquil. The police
remained about Green street up to a late hoar. There were
upwards 01 fifty constabulary sod metropolitan police sta-
tioned inside Newgste, with a proportionate amount of arms
and ammunition. The council of the Irish Confederation
met at D'Oder street immediately after the verdict was an-
t nounced, and the several clubs in connexion with that body
held meetings during the evening, which were attended by
the I. ading members of the confederate,. Mr. Duffy, Mr.
Meagher, Mr. Dillon, Mr. Pigott, Er. &e., visited many of
the clubs in succession, and addressed the confederates en
the result of the day's proceedings. We (the Freeman's
Journal) net er saw such a number of drunken pecple in the
streets Strange to say, however, the police, during the early
part to the evening, took no notice of them, but permitted
them to roam about at their leisure.
A. tribute for the bereaved wife and family of Mr. Mitchel
was got up immediately, and the sum of 3301. was collected
in one hour at the club rooms at D'Olier-street.
The United Irishman was published this day, as
usual. The following is from from an article headed
"Murder by Jury," which thus concludes: •
When the Quern's "government" not only appoint. Ks
own ar,itrators to try a case between itself and ea INOMMI
criminal but alto invents the crime of which he is wetted!
—when the Queen's government makes use of its parlia-
ment (in which Ireland has but a del isive semblance of
representation) to enact that it is " felony" to my what
seven out of every eight Irishmen think and feel to be true
and right!—when a man is seised upon fer saying this truth
and right, adjudgeil guilty by a tribunal of his enemies, and
condemned to death, or to a puuishment worse than death—
then what an atrocious character does the transaction union!
Not all the legal lore in all the libraries— not all the solemn
talk of men in whalebone wigs—not all the pomp and
eravity of a pretended •• Court of Justice," can lave that
judgment from being a foul, treacherous, and diabolical
murder. And the twelve men who permit this dreadful use
to b made of them are accomplices and accessaries before
the fact. At to her gracious Majesty's partin the business—
it the felon is Green-street could indict that illustrious lady,
and name his jury against her, as she names hen egaiust
him, he could most assuredly convict her, for that she,
when the pee hi r " royal assent" to the felony-treason bill,
did then and there (not hung the fear of Ged before her
trig)•ieloniously coespire to lay hands epos his life by way
utfurresurder.
'lhe friends of Mr. Mitchel speak diming for a writ
of error ; bat no decided step has yet been taken.
There were rumours of more arrests, but none have
actually taken place.
The property of Mr. Mitchel has bean seised by
the crown, at the dine of the United Irishman, Tri-
nity-street.
KINGSTOWN, HALF•PAST SIX o'CLocif.—The Shear-
water, with Mr. Mitchel on board, paired this harbour,
en routs to Cork, half an hour since. Mr. Mitchel was
manacled on the leg, but be wore no convict dress.
As 1 It ft Dublin, the police were removing_ the
types, &c., front the printing-office of the United
Irishman.
