THE WRITS OF ERROR.

DUBLIN, Moril)4mA—A day being now specifically
named for the last struggle between the Crown and the
State prisoners, the interest in the issue has begun to
revive here. A variety of statements have been made
with regard to the counsel engaged to conduct the case
of the appellants, but the following, from the Freeman's
Journal, is believed to be the correct one:—
The counsel for Mr. Smith O'Brien on the occasion
will be Sir Fitzroy Kelly, QC., and Mr. Napier, QC.
Sir Colman O'Loghlen will probable be si lectcd to argue
the case on the part of Mr. M'Manus. No writ of error
has been issued in the case of Mr. Meagher or of Mr.
O'Donohoe. The impression generally prevailed that
the gentlemen who appealed to the House of Lords
would be brought to London to be present at the argu•
merit; but that supposition was erroneous. They will
remain in Richmond 13ridewell pending the disposal of
their cases."

AGED PILGRIM'S FRIEND SOCIETY.—Last even
the supporters of this society held their forty-sec
~
annual g'neral meeting, at the London Tavern, Bish

he hoped the time was not far distant when every Ch jo
tian church would possess the auxiliary of a society 1 1.
the present for the support of its aged and infirm me or
bers. lie thought it a disgrace to any church to al ei-ot
the poorer members of its congregation to seek relie
the workhouse. The secretary then read the rep
which stated that the society was formed in 1807, sag
since then had relieved 1,221 poor and pious per' °,l,
with pensions to the aggregate amount of 32,8681. 188-
The number of pensioners during the past year, incl a
ing 44 in the asylum at-Camberwell, had been 342, 113 e
the amount of pensions distributed 1,692/.'2f. 6d. r•I
past year's receipts for the support of the society 1 los
amounted lc, 2,8614 ss: 9d., being a trifle less than
previous year ; and the expenditure left a Wane -,,
the hands of the treasurer of 1151. 9s. 9d. After 1".01
unanimous'adoption of the report, and the passin
the usual routine resolutions, a vote of thanks was gi
to the chairman, and the meeting separated.
