STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
We have generally remarked that cattle lifting is a
common offence about this period of the year as sheep-
stealing is at Midsummer. The boys show their good
taste so Jar. Beata Christmas, and mutton when the
turnips are in season. The southern papers hare *
variety of paragraphs like the following:—
" A few nigh Ss ago five cows were stolen from off-the
lands of Kilgoblin, near Kilrush, the property
oft the
Rev. Mr. Howard."

Five cows stolen from one gentleman, and in one
night. We must presume the very active police of the
district will at least recover the hides and horns.

Mr. Lawford and Mr. Watson had an interview
with the Right Hon. H. Labouchere yesterday, et
the office of the Board of Trade.
Earl Granville left town yesterday for Alderham
Park, Bridgenorth.

DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING.—There is little "in-
telligence of interest either in the Dublin or provincial
papers received this morning. The former are occui tied
with local matters, including the new-sanitary measure,
and the Dublin Improvement Bill; and the latter vrith
the details of the suffering under the pressure of scarcity
of employement and food.
MR. DUFFY'S TRIAL.
There was no allusion made yesterday, in the Cow
minion Court, to the case of Mr. Duty, The judg-
ment on the points raised on Tuesday will probably
not be given before to-morrow; of the result there; is
little doubt. The Freeman's Journal of this morning
says—" The prophecy we ventured upon yesterday,
in the absence of our ordinary report, that the
bill against Mr. Duffy would be quashed, will, we be-
lieve, prove strictly true, and we should not be much sur-
prised if Mr. Daffy were to eat his Christmas dinner
with his family outside of Newgate. 'The means by
which this result will have been brought about aft.
Justice Perrin compels us to shroud in darkness for the
present, but we e ill probably be able to resume our
prophecies to morrow."
DUBLIN, FRlDAY.—Shortly after Judges Perrin and
Richards had taken their seats in the Commission Court
yesterday, counsel for the Crown and Mr. Duffy being
prcienr, the senior judge observed that they had not had
time to look into all the authorities cited by.one side
and the other, and could nut, therefore, pronounce their
opinion on the plea in abatement. As' there wore but
three more cases for trial, the Court hoped to be able to
give judgment to-morrow (Friday). The Court did
not wish to have the jury lucked up during Sunday inn
Monda), therefore they thought the better course to let
the trial stand over until Tuesday morning. It Os
clear that, no matter what their decision might b, a on
the plea in abatement, a trial could not be had before
Christmas, and of course the time at which it might'be
commenced should depend upon that decision.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL acquiesced in the suggils'
tidl3 of the .Learned Judge. He would not expose the
jury to the inconvenience of being locked up on Sunday
and Christmas-day.
,After a few more rather colloquial observations be-
tween the bench and the bar, the subject dropped. /
So sanguine are Mr. Duff)'s legal advisers of getting
a favourable judgment on their crochetty plea, that t beY
had bailsmenready to go security for his future appear'
ants-, should the Court have ordered his discharge y'
terday.
In the event of a decision in his favour, and an ex'
pression on the part of the Court that Mr. Duffy waght
to be admitted to bail, the Attorney-General will or
pose his discharge, and the Lord-Lieutenant detain hiss
in custody under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act.
REMOVAL OF STATE PRISONERS.
On Wednesday night the following prisoners wler
brought from Bel'ast, and then conveyed to liilmainbstal
gaol, where they were handed over to the care of Air.
Allison, the governor :—Messrs. Patrick O'Higgins'
Stephen, J. Meany, and Joseph Brennan. It has iot
been stated why the parties have been removed. Sr.
Rea, of Belfast, who is at present confined in liihnign"
ham, memorialised the Government to liberate him. on
bail, but his application has been refused.
Mr. O'Higgins is charged with treason, and with
having an immense quanity of gun-stocks in the rough
on his premises. Meany was sub-editor of the TriSaue,
and Brennan sub-editor of the Felon. Rea is an attor-
ney. He maintains that he never did anything of a trea-
sonous character—he was only an native member of a
Confederate Club.
