TRIAL OF MR. DUFFY.
DUBLIN, WEDNESDAy EVENIN G.—The examinatial!
of witnesses on behalf of the Crown was resumed to
the sitting of the Court this morning, and was pre*
cisely similar to that adduced on the previous trial.,
Evidence was given, in the first instance, in corm'
boration of the testimony of the witnesses examined
yesterday as to the prisoner's handwriting of the:
letters found in Mr. Smith O'Brien's portmantetiat
when arrested in Thurles in September last, and ale°
the MS. of an article contained in the unpublished
copy of the Nation.

several persons were then produced, and amongst
others General MacDonald, Mr. Redington, the
under-secretary of the Lord-Lieutenant, Mr. Corn
Connellan, private secretary to his Excellency, 454"
to trace the portmanteau to Mr. S. O'Brien's posses'
sion, after which the letters and papers were given in
evidence, and the Attorney-General was, at Kt
hour, about proving the transactions which too"
place at Ballingarry when the police barracks ive,ll
attacked, as connecting those proceedings with t°°
prisoner.

- The Crown case will close to-day, and Mr. Butt'
Q.C., will commence his address to the jury for thG
prisoner in the morning, if not obliged by the Cour
to open it this evening.

RETURN OF MR. TWISLETON.
Mr. Twisleton has returned to Dublin, and 144
resumed the discharge of his duties as Poor•la!
Commissioner, perhaps with a view to wind up the
affairs of his office.

HER MAJESTY'S THEAT RE.—Entnediately arter
her perf,riranee of A dalgisa, on Tuesday night, Madame
Giuliani n'eeived the news of the death of her father froo,
clio!era in Pari,,.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.--Mr. Mitchell recd,-#
'notices his French plays and opera comique on Monday''
next, having made arrangements for the continuance
thus° perfortnanck.s until the end of June. Mdlle.
ton and M. Couderc are engaged for the whole of all
term, in conjunction with M. Octave, the principal tenn.
''.
of the Grand Opera at Paris—a department in which Mr
Mitchell's company has hitherto been weak. M. Zelger'
who sang in this country during the campaign of the
Bru ssel's artists, is also promised. The theatrical seetinl
of the speculation will be strengthened by the presence
Boufle and Madame Duch°. The theatre will re-open °a
Monday next with Auber's Fra Diavolo.
We read that the weather has been very intetnPe.:
rate in Dublin lately. Father Mathew, who is at present
sojourning there, will most likely leave in disgust.—Psr
pet Show.
SOCIETY OF ARTS.—Yesterday a meeting f°,r
illustration was held in the great room of the SucielY o
house, Johu-street, Adelphi, being the first of the kind
after the exhibition of works of recent British decors'
tive art. The chair was taken by Sir W. T. Delabecbe;
F.R.S., Vice-President, and the only communication °l
the evening was a paper by Dr. P. B. Ayres, on ale
importance of the animal refuse of towns as a manure:
and the method o+ rendering it available for agricultural
purposes. Our readers are aware that this is a subjees,
'which his received considerable attention, and that
many vigorous efforts have been made to reduce the iden
to prLciice. Under the name of sewage manure, the
merit. of the quo.tion have been extensively developed'
and it will be sufficient now to state that the conteini
pl:cted system consists in coileeting the waste aniEnti
g y
refuse of large towns, and diflusin it b suitable
means over large tracts of country,
so as to convert
a positive waste into a positive source of wealth. The
paper of Dr. Ayres pointed out the value of the sub'
stances which could be employed, the chemistry of theft
qatleation to fertilising the soil, and the princip/e°
upon which they would be Conveyed to the places where.
their operation was needed. The entire subject W
trcate d in a compiehensive and philosophical manner,
arid the cf,rnmunicivion received the thanks of the society,
which we re a'so awarded to the chairman, and the weld/
adjourned.
SPRING OPERATIONS.—It is a gratifying eircuor
stance to be able to state, at this early season, that, not'
with,tandirg the wide-spread ruin which has come upoDt
the farmers of the country, rich and poor, by the loss
the potato and exorbitant poor-rates the operations o',
the season are much more advanced in the counties 01
Antritn, Down, and Armagh, than perhaps they ercr
were in the month of April. In many districts—W°
might almost say over nearly the entire of the count,
Down—the sowing of corn and planting of potatOe°
have altogether ceased. In the counties named, Die
committal to the soil of the lately most treacherous
esculent commenced much earlier than usual, and from
what we have ourselves seen, and from the reports whin!)
have reached us, we are disposed to believe that a m
than average extent of land has been appropriated to growth. A great breadth of land has been placed '
„
wheat, the braird of which everywhere looks heal-
and vigorous, and, we may add, from what we have m3O
that there is every probability that green crops will Ol
most extensively cultivated, especially by the 01.5. i
farmers of this neighbourhood.—Banner of Ulster.
