DUBLIN, Nov. 17.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Smith
O'Brien and Messrs. Meager, O'Donoghue, and
Mesdanus, arrived. in Dublin by the ordinary train of
the Great Western- Railway. The whole party was
conveyed from the station to the prison without the oc-
currence of the slightest excitement, although competent
measures had been adopted by the authorities to prevent
or subdue any untoward manifestation which might have
arisen. At the sitting of the court this morning the
prisoners will be brought into the Queen's Bench to
assign errors in their respective eases, at ter which judg-
ment will be given in the case of Mr. Martin.
By a letter received in Dublin from Mr. John Dillon,
his safe arrival In New York has been at length an-
nounced.

Mr. James F. Lalor has been admitted to bail, but the
prisoner was in such a weak sta'e that he could not 134
removed from Newgate. It is expected that he will be
able to leave the prison in a day or two.
The Cork Examiner, of Wednesday, says:
" Yesterday all the gentlemen confined under the
Habeas Corpus Suspension Act were liberated, with the
exception of Mr. Denny Lane and Mr. William Pen-
nington. They are Mr. M. J. Barry, the Messrs. Varian,
Mr. F. Mullan, and Mr. D. Corcoran. They were
warmly congratulated by their friends on being once
more permitted to breathe the free air, and do not seem a:
all reduced in health or spirits by their incarceration.
Sincere sympathy is felt for the continued imprisonment
of Mr. Lane."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
SOUTHWARK.
Thomas Harrison, a painter and glazier, living in
New-street, Webber-street, Lambeth, and his wife, were
brought before Mr. Cottingbam, charged with cruelly
ill-treating Elizabeth, their daughter.
Mr. COTTINGHAM said, from the child's appearance,
it was quite evident that she was in a state of starva-
tion, and that she was cruelly used by those who ought
to be her protectors. The magistrate then asked
Harrison what he had to say in answer to so serious
a charge.
Harrison—lt's false; she is not starved. She lives
the same as we do, but she has such an appetite that she
will pick up any filth out of the kennel, if we let ber go
out, and eat it. We dare not let her go into the street
on that account.

Mr. COTTINGHAM—The girl has marks of severe chas-
tisement upon her person. What do you say to the
charge of beating her?
Harrison—She beats herself, she is such a bad tem-
per, and knocks her head against the wall enough to
break her skull. That is the reason of the lumps being
now felt on her head.

Mr. COTTINGHAM said that it was manifest, by the
girl's appearance, that she had not a sufficiency of food;
that, in fact, she was starved. He was astonished a
father should stand up and assert that she had plenty
of victuals, and shared alike with himself and his fel-
low•prisoner, when she was seen to eat up ravenously
potato peelings and fish bones, which were designed
for an animal. It was a case of such an aggravated
nature that he was determined the prisoners should be
sent before a jury ; but, with the view of completing
the charge against them, and having the evidence of a
medical man, he should remand them until Wednesday
next.
