against him. The Rev. Mr. M`Carron arrived in Dub-
lin, and made a similar application, stating that he was
not a member of any confederate club, and that in the

year '44 he had tendered his resignation as a member of
the Repeal Association. His application met with a si-
milar tate. , The first intimation I had of the imprison-
meni of my husband was a visit from two detectives, who
searched over and examined everything belonging to me,
and took away a large number of his books, and all my
private letters, not one of which contained anything po-
litical. My only brother is now in prison, my husband
deprived of his situation, and of the means of supporting
me, is also the inhabitant of a dungeon, while I, in a de-
licate state of health, am driven houseless and homeless
on the world.

THE 'PROSECI7rIr'.7:S FOR HIGH TREASON.
'CLOiMEL, SEPT. 7.—The Crown Solicitor has
nearly completed his -arrangements for the trials at
Special Commissions in this town. The parties cer-
tainly. to. he tried at this minnission are Smith
O'Brien, Meagher, and Al`Manus, besides a number
of the peasants who had been engaged in the out-
break. The Chain of evidence is considered complete
against all 'the parties to be tried ; but there is a
want of proof to connect Mr. Meagher directly with
the pr6ceedings at Ballingarry.
Reffarding,Mr. Smith O'Brien, who never in the
least 'degree resorted to concealment, it is stated
there is abundant testimony;: and as to Al'Manus,
the evidence of various witnesses. implicate him in
the movement of Tipperary in all its ramifications.
But reenacting Mr. Meagher, none of the, witnesses
for the. Crown have identified him as having been
present at the _scene of the insurrection, and the
general impression is that he was not at Ballingarry
at all. The evidence against Mr. Meagher applies to
other places, -and to overt acts- before the outbreak
actually"; took place. M'Manus, it is said, led the
party who attacked the police barrack at Mullinithorre.
When the attack was proposed Smith O'Brien deci-
dedly objected, iecomrnending that they should wait to
be attwked, and erect barricades for defence in the mean-
time.; but .M`Manus harangued the insurgent pea-
sants, who followed him to the barrack, where a few
constalAes wee stationed. ..Smith O'Brien finding his
remoniirfinces unavailing, followed the crowd, and
succeeded- in preventing any actual -violence. He
summoned the polled' to surrender, and gave the men
ars Imiir-ror consideration, hitt, in the interval, aided
