DUBLIN, April 24.

The Special Commission will resume its sittings
this morning, at 11 o'clock, when one of the Fenian
prisoners will be put on his trial for high treason.
A. correspondence appeared in the Dublin Evening
Post last night, which proves that the information I
gave you about the prisoners' counsel, though con-
tradicted, was correct. Mr. Lawless, one of the
solicitors assigned to them by the judges, wrote on
the llth.kinst. to the Under-Secretary inquiring
" what provision was made for counsel's fees and
general costs of the defence, as the prisoners had no
means of their own for the purpose," and received
the following reply :
" Dublin Castle, April 16.
" Sir,-1 am directed by the Lord-Lieutenant to
inform you that the subject of your letter of the
11th having been brought under the consideration
of the Attorney-General, he is of opinion that rea-
sonable fees for two counsel assigned to the pri-
soners indicted for high treason are to be allowed,
and a fair sum may be paid to the attorney, but not
by way of a bill of costs, and that the amount must
be regulated by the Crown Solicitor.'—l am, sir,
your obedient servant, "THOMAS LARCOM.
" John Lawless, Esq."
On the 20th Mr. Lawless wrote to Mr. M. Ander-
son, the Crown Solicitor, stating that he had called
twice at his office without being fortunate enough
to meet him, to speak on the subject of fees, &c.
Mr. Anderson, in reply, stated that, in pursuance of
the authority given him by the Government, he
would consent to a fee of 25 guineas being given to
each Queen's Counsel with his brief for all the pri-
soners included in the same indictment, and a re-
freshing fee of £3 3s. per day each day after the
first during which the prisoners should be on trial;
and to fees of 15 guineas with briefs, and two gui-
neas a day after, for counsel of the outer bar. To
the attorney he would give a lump sum at the rate
of three guineas for each prisoner to whom he had
been assigned. A letter is published from Mr. Butt,
Q.C., dated April 10, in which he s'iys it is 'plain that
the Government must increase the fees, and he would
not place himself in the position of defending a pri-
soner for high treason on such terms. He adds :
" I have, however, been publicly assigned by the
judges as counsel for those prisoners. This was
done without my consent .or, any previous applica-
tion to me. But lam sure it was done from a.belief
on the part of the prisoners that named me that the

1867.

intimation of the Chief Justice meAut that they were
to select their counsel at.the public expense..
" Under all 01.3 circumstances, I have made up
my mind in the eases in which I have been already
assig. nel not to d.Aine the dory put upon me by the'
judges because the prisoners have not the means of
defence. I will, therefore, accept any brief you s nil
me for the defence of airy of those prisoners, but I
will not accodt of any fee that is paid by the Go-
vernment. You may depend upon my undivided
attention to the cases."

Mr. Butt wrote this before he had any idea of
the amount of fees tint would be
.granted by the
Crown. Mr. Dowse, Q.C., wilt) was assigned as his
colleague, has written that he considers the amount
" altogether insufficient," and that, in justice to
himself and the profession, he could not accept
" such a miserable remuneration for his services."
He would much prefer defending the prisoners
gratuitously than to lower the profession by accept-
ing briefs on such important cases with such fees
marked upon them. Mr. O'Loghlen also declined
to receive the fees named. Mr. Dowse, in a second
letter, sly's:—

"I know ➢ir. Butt has lately entertained the
opinion that he should not receive any fees, small
or great, from the CroWn. I do not, however, think
that the public or the prisonerS would consider that
we would discharge our duties less effectively for the
men who are to stand their trial if we were paid by
the Crown. I have reason to believe that the pri-
..soners themselves, when they • asked' ttave__tia
assigned, thought that the Crown would pay us our
fees. I think lam entitled to add that, whatever
the public or the prisoners might think, that with
me it would make no difference in the discharge of
my duties from what source my fees came, so long
as they were given to me ly you as the prisoners'
attorney."
This is rather an awkward business, considering
the array of counsel engaged for the prosecution,
and the liberal scale ou which the Crown remune-
rates its own advocates. Messrs. Butt and Dowse
are by far the most eminent counsel now at the
Irish Bar.

The Royal Dublin Society's Spring Show com-
menced yesterday. it consists of breeding and fat
cattle, sheep, swine, and farming implements, &c.
It has realised the rather sanguine expectations of
the society, both in the number of entries and in
the quality of the stock, particularly the short-
horns, of which there are 195 bulls and 120 cows
and heifers. The appearance of the animals ranged
along the great agricultural hall, in their comfortable
stalls, after passing their competitive examination,
the winners distinguished by ribands and medals,
was certainly very agreeable evidence of the interest
the gentry take in agricultural improvement, and of
the success of this society, which has done so much
in this department of its labours. The great prizes
of the society are the challenge cups. The first of
these is the Townley Plate, value £155. The cup
was originally presented by the Messrs. Burdon,
proprietors of the Irish Farmers' Gazette, for the
animal of the breeding classes which, in the opinion
of the judges, possesses the greatest merit. It was
permanently won by Colonel Townley, who contri-
buted 100 guineas to replace it, to which sum the
society added £5O. It has been won this time by
Mr. Richard Challoner, of Kingscourt, Maynalty,
for his short. horned bull "Sovereign," to which was
also awarded the £2O prize and bronze medal for the
best short-horned bull calved in 1866. The other
great prize is the Irish Railway Challenge Cup,
value £l5O, to be awarded to the best bull of any
breed, over two years and under five years of age.
This cup was won by Mr. Edward J. Smith, of
Islanmore, Crown, for his bull " 'Actor," which also
carried off the £lO prize and bronze medal. Among
other exhibitors who won prizes for bulls were Mr.
Robert G. Cosley, Stradbally-hall, Queen's county,
the Marquis of Drogheda, and Mr. J. Moffat, of
Enniscorthy. Ir. the class of short-horned yearling
heifers, the prizes were won by Mr. J. Meadows,
Wexford ; Mr. J. Anderson, Waoerford ; and Mr.
R. Welsted, of Castle Roche. Considerable interest
was felt as to the award to be given to the section
for cows of any age, in which there were 14 entries,
the exhibitors including Major Hamilton, Sir A. J.
Bellingham, and Sir Percy Nugent. The judges
gave their fiat in favour of Sir A. E. Bellingham for
both first and second prizes, the former being taken
by " Myrtle" and the latter by " Dewdrop." There
was a considerable show of Kerrys. In this depart-
ment the prizes were won by Mr. R. S. Cusack,
Captain Bagley, Mr. T. Butler, Mr. A. Comyns, and
Mr. J. Brady.
In the department of fat cattle the entries were
not numerous, but the animals on view were in capi-
tal order. The first silver medal for the best short-
horned heifer not exceeding four years oil was won
by an animal exhibited by Major Borrowes, of New-
bridge. The second silver medal was awarded to a
heifer belonging to one of the largest farmers in Ire-
land, Mr. Allen Pollok, county of Galway. In the
other varieties of cattle, comprising Devons, Alder-
neys, and Ayrshires, the competition was very
small, some of the sections having no entries.
In the department of sheep, in which the entries
are few, Mr. Wm. Owen,. of Blesinton, obtained the
first prize for the best Leicester one-shear ram, and
Mr. Allen Pollok for thebest fat wedder. Lord Cler-
mont, of Ravendale-park, Newry, won both the first
and second prizes for the best boars. Very few per-
sons attended the show yesterday except gentlemen
who had business as exhibitors or purchasers, the ad-
mission fee being 10s. up to 4 o'clock, and-ss. after
that hour. This is the day for fashionable visitors,.
The Lord-Lieutenant and the Marchioness of Aber-
corn, who returned to town from Baron's-court on
Monday evening, will visit the show at 3 o'cl Jek, and
in the evening his Excellency will preside at the
meeting in the Royal Dublin Society-house for the
announcement and distribution of prizes.
The exhibition of implements, machines, seeds,
manures, vehicles, &c., is unusually large, no fewer
than 57 firms being represented. There arc 10
stands in the Shelbourne-hall, 16 in the courtyard
and Shelbourne-yards, and 29 on the galleries of
the Agricultural-hall. All the modern implements
and appliances are shown, and the visitor may ac-
quaint himself with all the newest inventions which
the march of science has given to the agricultural
world. Sir J. Arnott and Co. show several speci,
mens of winseys, a branch of manufacture hitherto
confined to England and Scotland, which were
woven at the Reformatory, Golden-bridge. The
material is of the best quality, the texture close
and firm, and the colours varied and suitable.
Forty people are employed in the manufacture of I
these winseys, and are enabled to earn a respectable
sum per week.
Police-constable Kelly was brought up on remand,
yesterday, before Mr. O'Donnell, charged with com-
plicity in the escape of Kirwan from the Meath
Hospital, where he was under treatment for a
wound received at Tallaght, Mr. Curren appeared
for the prisoner, and urged that there were no
grounds for sending him for trial. Mr. O'Donnell,
however, sent the prisoner for trial at the Commis-
sion, and refused to take bail.
It is stated that the absconding Crown witness
Smith was not a prisoner, but came forward volun-
tarily to give information. The police, therefore,
are not to blame for his escape.
The War-office authorities having decided to
abandon Ballincollig as a military station, the
troops stationed there will, it is expected, be with-
drawn during the present week, and distributed at
Cork, Limerick, and Fermoy, and we understand
that the barracks and other Government property
will be sold as early as possible.
It appears that Mr. Hodsman had no idea of
crossing the Channel in his balloon, which landed
safely near Appleby at midnight, having started
from the Exhibition Palace, Dublin, at 5 o'clock
p.in on a hazy evening. Not.only did he neglect
ro-ta'ke any clothing or provisions, but, what• was
oi the highest importance, the india-rubber air

cushions, which, allixed round the car; render it, in
case of a descent upon the sea, a tolerably efficient
lifeboat. As the balloon passed over Howth the
voyager was observed to throw out some ballast,
and it. was supposed that he would endeavour to de-
scend in that locality ; but he evidently felt it was
impracticable, and there was, therefore, no alterna-
tive other than to cro,,s the Irish Channel. The
next : ilings of the balloon did not reach Dublin till
yesterday afternoon, and the length of time which
elapsed had led to the fear that Mr. Hodsman had
met with some misadvervure. This is Mr. Hods-
man's second aerial adventure.

DUBLIN', Wednesday Night

The Spcial Commission was re-opened this morn-
ing. Five prisoners pleaded " Not Guilty" to the
charge of high treason. The whole thy was occu-
pied in legal objections to the indictment and the

The Lord-Lieutenant visited the cattle show at

tion, his Excellency congratulated the meeting on
the'complete success of the show, notwithstanding
dis•tdvantages. He recommended the cultivation of
flax by small farmers, with greater attention to the
comfort of labourers, and spoke hopefully of the
prospects of the country.

Poole's office, and saw th lso nd the
complainant and seize her dl . T prisoners
placed the bundle on. the window sill and opened it.
Mr. Tyrwhitt -itlgnired if the prisoners belonged
to the picket.
Witness said they did ; and, in reply to Mr.
Sayer, said two of the prisoners took hold of the
bundle, but he could not swear which two.
Mr. Sayer, on behalf of the prisclners, was ready
to admit they had no right to search the complain-
ant's bundle, but he denied any intimidation had
boen use I. 'The prisoners Itrd no doubt been guilty
of a common assault in law, *but it was an assattP, of
a trivial description only. The object of tho p ciso-
ncrs in looking into the butulie was merely to see
what was in it, and certainly that could not be c died
an act of intimidation.
Mr. Tyrwhitt, said the tailors' proceedings had
not reached that point yet ; when it ha 1, they would
learn how it woul I be dealt with at that court.
That a set of men who could earn ample wages. and
who set themselves up as high class and intelligent
workmen, should meddle with an old woman's
bundle was a poor and paltry thing ; and no doubt
the public would think so. It would perhaps be
enough in the present case if he ordered the priso-
ners to find bail, each in £5, to keep the peace for
six months.
Loud applause having followed this decision,
Mr. Tyrwhitt remarked that he could see by the
manner in which his decision had been received by
the assembled tailors the' extent to which the affair
was likely to run, but he gave them full notice that
the justice of the country would meet any violence
they might be guilty of.
Bail was tendered and accepted.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.

As usual after the Two Thousand day the appearance of
the course was quiet, and devoid of the bustle and (excite-
ment apparent on the great race. A moderate card com-
prised eight events—the first of which was the Prince of
Wales' Stakes, easily won by The Peer defeating Black
Prince. The fiery D'Estournel was brought out for the
next event, and some curiosity was evinced to see how far
ho would exhibit his wayward propensities with Custance
in the saddle. His jockey held him with a firm hand
throughout, not giving him a chance to turn his headeither
one way or the other, and he won with consummate ease.
As much as 5 to 2 was laid on Baron Rothschild's good-
looking colt Suffolk, who contended against a field of 24.
He had not much difficulty in disposing of this number,
and came in an easy winner by several lengths After-
wards offers of 15 to 1 against him for the Derby of 1868
were made. The last two races were run amid drenching
rain, and there seemed every prospect of the weather con-
tinuing wet.
