Sutton Estate, chmelftentignous; consisting ofabotit 1.030 acres of
excellent land skirting the prosperous and rapidly improving town of

clay of great value for pottery purposes. The whole of these
fine estates (with , the exception of the parks and demesne

sion of Bold, stands upon•a fine elevated partof the park, which
contains about 600 acres, richly studded with .noble timber, and

possesses rare advantages, is intersected by the London and North
Western and St. Helen's and Runcorn Gap Railways, and, from its
position and nature, its value must be annually increased. The St.
Helen's Coal-field, containing an average thickness of 70 feet of coal,
is believed to extend under a considerable portion of the Sutton
Estate f part of such mines are already in lease, and must be the
source of a vast revenue. The Sutton station of the London and

brothers, &c., resident on the lands of the parties signing,
the list might easily have been doubled or trebl,d.
The sentiments of such a body—well representing
their general class throughout the north—are as noble as
they are valuable. The answer of his Excellency is just
what might be expected of his good sense, spirit, and
discretion:—

" Viceregal Lodge, April 20, 1848.
"My Lord,—l am directed by the Lord-Lieutenant to
acknowledge the receipt of a loyal address, numerously
signed by your Lordship's tenants.
". His Excellency shares with those gentlemen the
sorrow and disgust caused by the perverse efforts made
to excite the masses, rendered peculiarly susceptible by
recent privations to deeds of outrage and violence; at
the same time he trusts that the reprobation with which
such attempts have been met by men of all classes,
creeds, and parties in Ireland, will deter the seditious
from their evil bourses, or at least reveal to their dupes
the utter hopelessness of their wicked schemes.—l have
the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's obedient
servant,

REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—The usual weekly meeting cf

DUBLIN, APIIIL 25.—The Court of Queen's Bench is
to resume its sittings to-morrow, after the Easter holi-
days. The pleas of abatement filed by Mr. Mitchell,
of the United Irishman, have placed upon the Crown
the onus of making the next move, and some step must
be taken to-morrow.
The Government have determined is carry through
the prosecutions with 'vigour. The Crown counsel are
of opinion that the objeetion to a member-of the grand
jury, raised by Mr. Mitchell's pleas cannot hold good.
The following is the clause of the Irish Municipal Act
on which he relies :-
6' Every member of the council, for the time being, of
the borough, and justice assigned te keep the peace
therein, and every officer of police therein, and the
treasurer and town-clerk for the time being of every
such borough, shall be exempt and disqualified from
serving on any jury summoned within such borough, save
and except juries summoned for an assize or general
gaol delivery,"
The disqualification of Alderman Bowles, a member
of the grand jury, is .here specific ; but the Crown
counsel will hold that the law only requires a majority
of the grand jury to find a bill of indictment, and that
thirteen out of the twenty-four members of the jury
will be sufficient for all legal purposes. There is, how-
ever, quite enough in Mr. Mitchell's plea for a good
argument, and, perhaps, for an appeal to the House of
Lords, in case the Court should decide against him. The
Crown, supposing that the Court rules with them in
favour of the indictment, will proceed with the trial of
Mr. Mitchell, as well as the other traversers, in the
sittings after the present term.
As an evidence of the determination of the Crown to
proceed with all promptitude, a notice was served at Mr
Mitchell's office last night, requiring him to appear per-
sonally (not by attorney) in the Court of Queen's
Bench to morrow. Mr. Mitchell had left a few hours
previously, to attend a Chartist meeting in Manchester,
and a special messenger was dispatched to that town to I
acquaint him with the service of the Crown summons, in
order if possible, that he might be enabled to attend in
Court to-morrow.
The Crown, it is stated, will demur to Mr. Mitchell's
plea. In that case, there would be a four-day rule for a
joinder in
odemurrer,affording
ample which

wouldor h

the expiration of the term on the 12th of May.

FEARGUS O'CONNOR AND THE

--
TIMES COMMISSIONER.
TO THE .EDITOR OF 7'HE SUN.
Sin,—Several of my friends, Members of the House
of Commons, have infOrmed me that a statement made
by Mr. Feargus O'Connor in the House of Commons on
Saturday, and reported in The Sun to the effect, " that
a gentleman, some years ago called upon him, stating
that he was about to go over to Ireland as a Commis-
sioner' for one of the Morning papers, and applied to
him to be engaged to write for the Northern Star, on the
ground that his communications would be written to suit
the newspaper for which he was going to Ireland, and
would not do at all for the Northern Star, unless written
differently," have been understood in the House of Com-
mons to apply to me, as the Tinzes Commissioner. I
beg to say that I never Called upon, or spoke to, Mr.
Feargus O'Connor in my life, nor did I ever hold, or
seek to hold, any sort of comrnuncation with him, directly
or indirectly, on any subject whatever; nor did I ever
make any proposal to write from Ireland to the Northern
Star, or to any other newspaper whatever; nor was that
which I wrote for the Times, either directed, suggested,
or biased, by.the editor or conauctors of the Times in its
matter or tone, in any respect whatever.
To those who know me, this contradiction is un-
necessary. There are some gentl, however, who
may apply the statement of the Hon. emenMember to me,
and who, indeed, I am informed, have done so, and who
may, perhaps, believe it unless contradicted, which must
be my excuse for occupying your space with such a
matter.
