THE WEST INDIA MAIL.

The Royal West India Mail steam-ship Great
Western, commanded by Captain C. W. Chapman, from
the West Indies, arrived at Southampton at half-past
eight o'clock on Saturday evening, with mails and pas-
sengers. She brings advices to the following dates:—
Vera Cruz, July 16th; TampicO, 14th; Havannah,
27th; Honduras, 12th; Jamaica, 22d; St. Jago de Cuba,
20th; Demerara, 19th; Trinidad, 22d; Barbadoes, 27th;
Grenada, 23d; Porto Rico, 26th; St. Thomas, 31st;
Bermuda, sth August.
The Great Western. brought on freight 679,207 dolls.,
333 ounces gold dust, 2,0641. 14s. British coin, 1,669}
ounces silver, 85 serons of cochineal; and general cargo
consisting of 8 serons of jalap, 100 bags coffee, 6 boxes
plants, 28 boxes Vanilla, 59 bales tobacco, 73 cases
cigars, 5 cases succades, 50 packages sundries.
At Honduras everything was quiet, and at Santa Cruz
the same, but the Spanish troops still continued in the
island.

At Jamaica there was some talk of a disturbance in
celebrating the Ist of August, but on inquiry by the
authorities it turned out to be only a rumour, got up by
a certain party. _

At Cuba a disturbance had taken place; but the Go-
vernor-General having taken active steps, it was soon
repressed, and the parties compelled to find sureties for
their future conduct.

The arrival of the packet from England has, as might
have been expected, called forth an avalanche of
nation',niid abuse from tbo Jamaica papers. The Jamaica
Dispatch, of July 20, says:—
" If there were any one ground more than another upon
which the colonies are justified in denouncing the iniquitous
conduct of the present Government, it is the dishonesty and
untruth which they have manifested in their dealings with
the important question now before the House of Commons.
Anything more disreputable to Ministers as gentlemen
(leaving out of the question altogether their responsibility as
the Queen's Government) than the withholding from Lord
George Bentinck's Committee a communication so important
as the dispatch of Sir Charles Grey, of which we published
an extract in yesterday's Dispatch, and denying repeatedly
its possession for two months after it lay in the pigeo
.
of Downing-street, we cannot conceive. The dispatch
of. s
Charles Grey was dated the 21st of February last, and was
received at the Colonial-office on the 27th of March. In
that dispatch Sir C. Grey, acting* upon information received
on the spot, stated that nothing less than a permanent Ga-
zette price of 30s. per cwt. for West India sugar could pre-
vent the greater portion of our sugar estates from going out
of cultivation; and he recommended a rating equal to one
penny a pound on British and twopence a pound on foreign
sugar—being just 9s. 4d. on British and 18s. Bd. on all fo-
reign sugar."
The same journal, of the 22d July,says:—
"
The Ministerial proposition for the relief of the acknow-
ledged distresses of the sugar colonies is abundantly charac-
teristic of the party from which it springs. It is one of those
little measures which are to be expected from little men.
The scheme is an insult to the colonies, and an outrage on
the honesty and humanity of the nation. It will not save one
single sugar estate, nor will it give the confidence necessary
to the investment of one shilling in the colonies. It would
have been infinitely better had Ministers clung honestly, if
we may use the expression in the face of circumstances, tip
their original scheme of colonial destruction. The present
measure only adds insult to injury; because, whilst it admits
the rights and claims of the colonies, it unhesitatingly, in the
lace of that admission, consigns them to ruin."
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
KINGSTON, JULY 20.—At a meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce held on Wednesday, the 19th day of July, 1848,
John Nethersole in the chair, it was resolved,
" That this Chamber, in a communication addressed to
its agent, Peter Borthwick, Esq., on the 23d March last,
stated its well-founded conviction that important dis-
patches connected with the state of Jamaica had been for-
warded to the Colonial-office by the Governor of Jamaica ;
and this Chamber urged upon its agent the necessity of
its calling upon Ministers for the protection of such dis-
patches.
" That this Chamber learns with surprise and indignation
that, although so lately as the departure of the English
mails of the 2d of June, ministers hadipersisted in declaring, in
answer to questions on this head, that no important dis-
patches whatever had been received from the Governor of
,Jamaica, yet that a most important one, dated the 21st
February, and received on the 27th March, 1848, was only
laid on the table of Parliament, amidst a mass of other cor-
respondence, so late as the 9th of June last.
"That in the opinion of this Chamber the detention of
this very important document was most unsatisfactorily ac-
counted for by Mr. Hawes, the Under-Secretary of State
for the Colonies, on the night of the 19th June.
" That this Chamber, speaking in the name and on the
behalf of her Majesty's faithful colony of Jamaica, can have
no confidence in the members of a Government, that eithcr
through carelessness or intention could withhold important
dispatches calculated to have most material influence in the
public discussion of a question, on which the fortunes, if not
the lives, of her Majesty's West Indian subjects depend.
" That whilst this Chamber is left to despair of all justice
from a Government that could thus act, it feels bound to do
justice to the Governor of Jamaica, who has been placed in a
talse position by the Administration, and bas most unjustly
incurred the public odium consequent on what appeared a
criminal silence upon the disastrous state of the colony, to
which it was impossible he could close his eyes.
" That this Chamber is of opinion that the thanks of Ja-
maica are due to his Excellency Sir Charles Edward Grey
for his dispatch to the Colonial-office, under date the 21st of
February last, and this Chamber most cordially agrees with
his Excellency in the wisdom of the recommendations which
he was then *seed to submit to the Government, ant only
regrets that justice should have been so blind on this occa-
sion as to have overlooked altogether a communication so
valuable in every respect to the West India colonies."

THEATRICALS AT WINDSOR.-Mr. Charles Kean

IRELAND.

THE POLICY OF GOVERNMENT.
DUBLIN, SUNDAY MORNING.--The following is the
reply of the Lord Lieutenant to the address of the grand
jury of the county of Cork. It is Si document of consi-
chaable importance in the existing circumstances of the
country:—

" Vice-Regal Lodge, August 16.
"My Lord,—l am directed by the Lord-Lieutenant to re-
quest that your Lordship will convey to the grand jurors of
the county of Cork his cordial thanks for their address of
confidence in his Excellency's Administration, and express-
ing their earnest hope that a firm and temperate policy will
speedily lead to the restoration of that tranquillity so essen-
tial to the welfare of Ireland. His Excellency deplores the
wicked efforts that have been made to excite rebellion and
to involve the country in all the horrors of anarchy and civil
war, but he ventures to hope that the people will have learned
the utter hopelessness of such efforts, and will see that they
who most suffer from social disturbances, are those who de-
pend on their labour for their daily bread, as without confi-
dence capital will not be invested in the employment of skill
and industry, nor can those natural resources be developed
which alone constitute the true wealth of a country.
"It is his Excellency's firm intention to use the great
powers confided to him by Parliament, solely for the main-
tenance of law and order, and the preservation of those insti-
tutions which secure the liberties, the properties, and the
lives of all the subjects of this great empire.
" His Excellency trusts that the speedy restoration of
tranquillity will enable her Majesty's Government maturely
to consider the measures that elevate and promote the pros-
perity of Ireland, and thereby consolidate the strength of the
United Kingdom.

"I have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's obe-
dient servant,

" CORRY CONNEELAN.
"To Viscount Bernard, M.P."
ANOTHER ARREST IN DUBLIN.

Last night constable Prender, of the detective police,
arrested Thomas Crotty at the establishment of Messrs.
Pim, in South Great George's-street, on a charge of
high treason. He has been committed to Kilmainhan.
The prisoner is brother to James Crotty, arrested at the
same place some weeks since, now detained in Belfast
House of Correction.

Mr. Gunning Taaft, who was arrested at Ballingarry,
has been committed to Newgate.
ESCAPE OF O'GORMAN.

The Limerick Ezaminer, a Repeal paper, alleges that
Mr. Richard O'Gorman has escaped. From the follow.
ing statement, in that journal, it would appear that Mr.
Little, the resident magistrate, unconsciously aided in
his flight.
" Before the steam-boat was searched at the quay of Kil-
rush, as we have already stated, Mr. Little and the police
were standing on the stones, devouring with their eyes every
male passenger who happened to be standing or sitting,
walking or lounging, on the deck of the vessel. They did'nt
mind the ladies and women, and if they threw a casual
glance at the feminine faces, you may be sure their eyes
dwelt but briefly on the features of the old ones. The plank
was put out, and the passengers disembarked, stepping out
on the landing with considerable alacrity, and walking
gauntlet between the files of the police. There was an
old lady, however, of sallow complexion, and dressed,
some say in black, who got out with some difficulty,
and tottering a good deal and complaining not a little,
was making her way up the slip to where Mr.
Little, R.M., happened to be standing. His attention was
attracted, his gallantry was roused, and he courteously de-
scended, offered his arm, and led the feeble old lady up to the
landing. Little did he know the sex of the Lady. We are
possitively assured she was Richard O'Gorman—that lie was
among the passengers :numbers now assert ; and that in-
formation to that effect was furnished Mr. Little, is per-
fectly obvious from his presence on the spot. He is said
to have acted the squire with great dignity, condoling with
the old lady as she muttered, Oh, dear,' and bidding her
adieu, when she was extricated from the crowd, with a
bow that would have done credit to Lord Chesterfield
himself."
The following, which appears in the Limerick
Chronicle, relates to the same subject :
"In consequence of private information received that
the chiefs charged with treason were at Killkee, a party of
constabulary and Captain Norton's company of the 88th
Regiment, under the direction of Mr. Little, R.M., pro-
ceeded to Killkee and its neighbourhood at the hour of
midnight. Before the troops had quite arrived at Killkee,
Mr. Little proceeded in advance, and ordered the local
constabulary to immediately surround and guard the hotels
and some private houses. On the arrival of the military a
rigid search was made of the different places mentioned.
The traitors were said to be disguised as females, and occu-
pied ladies' apartments; it, therefore, became absolutely
necessary, on this important duty, that all the ladies' bed-
rooms (notwithstanding the high rank of some)'woultd be
searched. This painful duty (as many of the lath eq ere
their beds) was performed by kr. ',Jae alortt,..and 4th e mfrs
delicate manner possible, ilonts*nt pagisterial
duty. The High-Sheriff, Mr3arton, of Cairigaliolt Castle ;
Colonel Yandeleur, D.L., and Captain Kennedy, J.P., have
shown much aetivity in their endeavours on this occassion to
bring the accused to justice."
MORL ARREOTS INPUBLIN. '
I,p consequence of informationJeceived by the police
autEorities, the following persons—shopmen in the es-
tablishment,of Mears. Cannock and White, the dmers,
in Henry-street—were arrested this day, under war-
rants from the commissioners of police, and committed
to Newgate:—Patrick .Mulhare, Edward Lombard, Peter
M'Kenzie, and James M'Grath.
ARRESTS IN THE COUNTRY.

The Evening Post says—" On the 10th instant a Mr.
John O'Grady, one of Messrs. Pim's young men, who
absconded, and who was styled colonel, was arrested
under the Lord Lieutenant's warrant for high treason,
by Sub-Inspector Binden, and committed to Trim gaol."
The IVenagh Guardian contains the following account
of an arrest at Ballingarry, the scene of the late insur-
rectionary movement :
"On Monday night Sub-Inspector Healy, of Borrisokane,
having received information that Mr. Gunning Taaffe,
charged with having been engaged in treasonable practices,
was in or about the neighbourhood of Ballingarry, he re-
paired to the locality with a strong police force, and arrested
him in Ballingarry Castle, the residence of Mr. Thompson,
to whose daughter the accused is married. Taaffe was in bed
at the time, and had near his bedside a good supply of arms
and some newly-moulded ballets. Some documents were
found in the house and in his possession, which deeply
implicated him in the crime of high-treason. Mr. Healy
and his party of police brought Mr. Taffe to Borrisokane at
one o'clock on the same day, and on Friday (yesterday) ho
was committed to the county gaol, from whence he will be
immediately conveyed to Newgate. Mr. Taffe is a native of
Dublin, and it is said he was a prominent member of the Irish
Confederation."

The Clonmel Chronicle contains the following:—
"ARREST OF ONE OF THE BALLLNGARRY WOUNDED
REBELS.—A man of the name of James Dwyer was brought
into Clonmel yesterday (Thursday), and lodged in the
county gaol; ha was one of the insurgent band in the battle
of Boulagh Common and at Ballingarry, and had a dreadful
wound in the right breast. Ever since the affray, he has
bean concealed in one of the pits in the vicinity of Bou-
high, and, from information received by the authorities, he
was arrested down in the pit a few days since, and con-
veyed to Killenaule, from which place he was escorted to
Cl6nmel."

ALTERATION IN THE ENGLISH MAILS.
From and after the 18th of September next, the Lon-
don mail, via Liverpool, will be dispatched from Kings-
town harbour at half-past tour P.m., instead of, as at
piesent, half- past six P.M.

THE STATE TRIALS.
DUBLIN COMMISSION COURT, AUG. 18.
The Court sat at the usual hour.
THE ATTACK ON THE FOREMAN OF JOLIN MARTIN'S JURY.
Mr. James Martin, the brother of John Martin, appeared at
the bar, pursuant to the order of the Court.
CIIEF.F BARON—It appears that on the day before yester-
day you proceeded to the house of Mr. Waterhouse, to chal-
lenge 'him in consequence of his =duct as a juror. The
facts are admitted, and we shall at once proceed to deal with
the case. Before addressing the Court, consult your legal ad-
viser as to the statement that you shall make.
Mr_ James Martin—l extremely regret what occurred, and
admit I did use language to Mr. Waterhouse which at any
other, time I would not use, and which I now retract, as I
have; already dote. I also beg pardon of this Ceurt for what
I have done, and submit to whatever sentence your Lord-
ships shall please to make.
Mr. O'Ronmc (Mr. Martin's attorney)—He admits, my
Lord, that the statement of Mr. Waterhouse is correct. He
resi dod principally witl his brother in the country, and is
murk attached to him. He did not speak to any of his friends
about what he was going to do, and went off at once from the
cow :t to do it.

C lUit Banos—Was it on the evening of the trial?
fr. O'llonuE—Yes, my Lords.
Is fr. Waterhouse—lt must have been immediately after the
trio I, my Lord, for I had scarcely arrived at home when he
can se to me. I beg your Lordships to bear in mind that he
was; greatly excited, and was in fact like a mad man.
.11 Ir. O'RoaKE—Even the young gentleman who accompa-
me( l him was totally ignorant of the object he had in view.
He thought he was going to Mr. Waterhouse to ask him
to I >rem the recommendation to mercy in favour of his
brot ;her.
C sieas BARON—I am very glad that the submission and
atoi iement, as far as you are to atone for a violation of
the law, and for what is unquestionably a contempt of this
Con rt, has been so promptly made by you. It is fortunate
for :zourself that it is so made. It has been prudently made
for as your own interests are concerned, and it has been
proper ly made so far as regards the administration of jus-
tice. It is right you should be apprised that if the
submi scion had not been made, you would, beyond all
doubt, have been consigned to a prolonged incarceration, and
there would have been imposed upon you a heavy pecuniary
fine. We found it necessary, in the course of those proceed-
ings. I:0 pronounc a an admonition on the necessity of ab-
stainit ig from al I interference with jurors, or an attempt
being made to as sail their characters and reputations, and to
impute to them motives different from those which should
actuate them. If it be essential to guard their reputations,
it is still more n ecessary to guard their persons from outrage,
and from the consequences of threats of outrage to their
persons. It is, therefore, the duty of the court, in a case
such as this, to exercise the powers the law has vested in
them, for the p rotection of those who are engaged in dis-
charging the ft inctions connected with the administration of
justice, and, al love all, to protect the jurors from intimida-
tion. In this particular case it appears you have been be-
trayed by sud, len and excited feelings into a violation of
the law. Thai .t is no excuse to the law. But it does also
appear that i s omediately after the violation of the law into
which you v 'e betrayed, you did make sal instant su h-
rnl
sion to the ATV, and an acknowledgenseut of the offsnceyosu-
had commit teC 1. Although we feel I,,ound, in the
perform-
ance
of our duty here, not to allow this case to gounpun-
;shed, it is , of sr desire to mitigate to the utmost possible
c-:qen. ent the e unishment we feel bound to award for your
otlit 'Cr der all the circumstances of the case we do not
ce
feel neiec scary to do more than to commit you for one
month, and . direct you to give security, y recognizance, to
keep the pe ace towards Mr. Waterhou3S' b
Waterhouse.
Mr. O'ltc ..RKE•7IIO wishes to be imprisoned in Newgate,
where he w ill have the society of his brother.

.• prisoner was then ritiged.
TILE
QUI. N V. D MEM
Mr. Kevin Izod O'Doherty, the pr this 94e, Was
placed at the bar, and the jury having answer .to their -
names,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL read the two arti ' headed 1.
.I "Our harvest Poospects," and " Our War Departine.,t,”
from the manuscript proved to be in the handwri ot. the
prisoner, after which the case for the Crown closed. ‘. - I 4)10,
Mr. Burr, Q.C., at eleven o'clock, commenced his
to the jury, for the defence. The Learned Gentletrulg74l.ll% , I 111 I
speech which occupied upwards of three hours in its delivery
contended that neither ot the two intents charged in the in-
dictment—that of deposing the Queen, or levying war—were
sustained, even supposing that the jury believed the evidence
for the Crown as to the prisoner's handwriting in the articles
headed—" Our Harvest Prospects," and "Our War Depart-
ment," because they could not, in his opinion, bear an inter-
pretation which could be construed into an expression of in-
tentions existing in the prisoner's mind on either of those
points. Counsel also observed upon the danger of relying
upon the testimony of the witness M.Keever as to
Mr. O'Doherty's handwriting, when there were
several most respectable persons who could be produced
and examined on the subject, but who had not been brought
forward by the Crown. In conclusion, he repeated the'argu-
ments he so strongly urged on the first trial, as to the im-
possibility of a jury judging of a man's intents by the
writings of another, and therefore as to the articles Not
sworn to have been written by the prisoner, they should
ix-
elude them altogether from their consideration.
At a quarter past two o'clock,
Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., rose to reply on behalf of the Crown,
when he was interrupted by
Mr. O'RomeE, the prisoner's solicitor, who, addressing
their Lordships, said he objected to the Learned Gentle-
man appearing as counsel against his client, inasmuch as he
had offered him a retainer on the part of the prisoner on cir-
cuit, before he was retained by the Crown, and he refused
to take it.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL.—My Lord, Mr. Whiteside is
one of her Majesty's Counsel, and he is bound by hie
oath to act for her whenever called upon to do so by the
law-officers.

Baron PENNEFATIIER.-Mr. O'Rorke, this is a matter we
cannot listen to here. It is quite irregular.
Mr. OTORICE.—I consider it my duty, my Lord, to men-
tion the circumstance, and to enter m protest against the
Learned Gentleman's acting for the crown.
Baron PENNEFATIIER—You have done so ; but you were
quite irregular.

Mr. WiVITESIDE then proceeded to reply, and in doing se
expressed his deep regret at the occurrence which had just
taken place, lest it should be imagined for a moment that he
had acted in any way which was unbecoming a gentleman
of his profession. The facts of the case were shortly these
O'Rorke, the gentleman who had addressed the Court,
applied to them on circuit to defend some of the parties
charged under the Felony Act at the Commission, and offered
him a retainer in the usual way, but lae declined to receive
it, and he considered properly so, alleging that he had acted
for the Crown in a similar case a short time previously, and
that he believed that, as one of her Majesty's exititi-sel; the
Attorney-General purposed calling upon him to act for the
Crown. Under these circumstances, he (Mr. Whiteside) re-
fused to be retained by Mr. O'Rorke, and he believed that he
acted as he was bound in duty to act, as one of the Queen's
Counsel, sworn to appear on her behalf when called on. The
Learned Gentleman then went on to refer to the Acts of Par -
liarneut upon which the prosecution was founded, and to
show the jury that the manuscripts proved to be in the pri-
soner's handwriting fully sustained the indictment, by esta-
blishing the intent which existed in his mind. He also sub-
mitted that he was equally to be judged at to his intention
by all the publications relied on by the Crown, although not
in his handwriting. Mr. Whiteside concluded his reply at
six o'clock, when the Court adjourned.
TRIAL OF MR. O'DOHERTY.
SASCRDAY.
At a quarter-past ten o'clock this morning, their Lordships
having taken their seats on the bench, and the jury being
called over,

Baron PENNEFATHER proceeded to charge the jury, and
delivered an address of considerable length, which was lis-
tened to with much interest.

At the conclusion of the:Learned Judge's charge, which did
not terminate until nearly one o'clock, the jury retired, and,
in a few minutes, one of the jurors returned into the box and
inquired whether the handwriting of the prisoner had not
been sworn to by a witness who had
,not seen him write for
the last two years?
Baron PENNEFATIIER replied that such was the case.
Mr. Burn intimated to the same effect.:
The juror then withdrew, and a jury was sworn to try
other cases.
Half-past One o'clock.
The jury have just come into Court, and inquired of the
Bench if the mere publiction of the articles in the indictment
was sufficient to prove the intent of the prisoner?
His LORDSHIP stated if they believed that the prisoner
had written the article, evidence of which had b,en laid be-
fore them—if they believed that evidence, he thought the
intent was obvious.
The jury again retired, and had not returned into Court at
three o'clock.

Half-past. Three o!elke.h.-.,
Their Lordships, who had previously retired—from -the
Bench, have just returned Into Court, and directed the
Sheriff to inquire of the jury whether there was any chance
of their arriving at an agreement?
The Sheriff accordingly proceeded to the jurors' room,
and on his return informed the Court that the jury had
stated that they were deliberating, and that there was no
chance of a speedy agreement, but they did not seem to
give it up."

DISCHARGE OF THE JURY.
At a quarter to five the Sheriff was directed to inquire
whether the jury had agreed; he returned, stating that they
had not, and that two of them were ill.
On the jury being called out, the foreman said that there
was not the slightest chance of their agreeing.
Dr. Speedy examined the jurors, and pronounced two
very ill.
The COURT' after ordering the cirgunstanceeto be entered
in the re' rd, e tt ry t6beTaischarged.
SENN:STE ON JOHN' MARTIN.
Johl*artin waNh'en placed at the bar, and being asked
had he,anything to say, he stated that all parties had acted
fairly towards him, but he had not been tried by twelve in-
, different men; he then went into a vindication of his cha-
racter.

I The CIII/11, BARON proceeded to pass sentence. Hie Lord-
' ship addressed the prisoner at considerable length, and with
great feeling; he was proceeding to say that the jury had
recommended the prisoner to mercy, when the prisoner
said "he did not condescend to ask tor mercy—lie did not
want mercy; he wanted justice." His Lordship said that
the Court did not altogether disregard the recommendation
of the jury, but the Court was bound to consider mercy
and justice to other classes of the community. The sentence
of the Court is, that you be transported beyond the seas for
ten years.

The prisoner, who was perfectly calm and collected
throughout, was removed.

There was no excitement whatever. This trial finishes the
business of the Commission.

Commission a lenient course of conduct had been adopted by
the Crown towards those persons in whose possession pikes
were found, on the parties submitting; but he begged to give
notice, that taking into consideration that the pike is a
