THE POLITICAL TRIALS IP DUBLIN'.

A. M. Sullivan, proprietor of the Ire, kly Ners,
John Martin, and two others, were arraigned as the
Dublin Commission Court yesterday, charged with illegal
usembly.
With the exception of one, the traversers were unde-
fended by counsel.
The Solicitor-General addressed the jury, and said that
the processionista met to glorify murder and assassination.
Mr. Sullivan made • speech in his own defence, going
over the history of Ireland for several hundred years to
prove that the Irish were • law-respecting people, and
that their fault was being too loyal to certain English
kings, particularly of the Stuart line. He denounced the
Manchester executions u • political blunder, and one
calculated to excite more horror and hatred towards the
English government than any of the writings which bad
been recently charged se seditious.
Mr. Martin will also address, the jury, and the case will
conclude today (Friday).
Sullivan was cheered by • portion of the crowd.
The gallery was cleared by direction of the court.

Mr. Seely has deferred till after Easter his
motion " that in the opinion of this house the control
and management of the dockyards is inefficient, and that the
inefficiency may be attributed to the following Mutts :
first, the constitution of the Board of Admiralty ; second,
the defective organisation of the subordinate departments ;
and, third, the want of clear and well defined respoosi•

The Hon. Secretaries of the Central Protestant
Defence Association have received the following reply from
Mr. S. T. Grubb, J. P., Waterford, to the request that
be should join the association :—" Gentlemen, in reply to
your circular, I decline allowing my name to be placed on
the committee of the Protestant Defence Association. It
would afford me sincere gratification to see the influential
gentlemen forming that committee turning their attention
to the development of manufactures in this country,
and giving employment to the people, in place of en-
deavouring to uphold a system quite incompatible with the
spirit of the age."
It will be remembered that the Bishop of Lon-
don stated in the Upper House of Convocation, on Tow

to him their intention to secede to the Roman communion.

Henry Morris, Mullany'sapprentioe, was then examined
mid repotted the evidence given by him at Bow-street.
The infortuer Vaughan was produced. He said he had
been at Milbank, where he had identified Barrett as Lav-
ine been twice in company with English.
The evidence being concluded the coroner summed tip.
He said the evidence pointed to Barrett as having fired
the I, trrel, and that Allen, Justice, and Timothy Des-
mond had been implicated, but there was no
positive evidence to show that Burke had been
in communication with them in reference to the
outrage which had caused so much destruction to life and
property. The conduct of the man Allen immediately
after the explosion was not inconsistent with tbe pros-
bility that he was there for the purpose of betraying the
others. It was • question for the jury to decide whether
or not there Sam such • deficiency in management and ar-
rangement on the part of the police as would justify them
in coining to a resolution expressive of their feeling on the
point.
The jury, after an hour and • quarter's deliberation,
returned • verdict of wilful murder against Michael
'Barrett, Timothy Desmond, Wm. Desmond, Nicholas
English, John O'Keefe, Patrick Mullany, Anne
Jestice, and other persons not in custody.
They also presented a resolution expressive of their
opinion that sufficient precautions had not been
taken by the police at head-quarters to prevent the
expiation.
