THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 13, 1844

the insurrection that developed itself in Barcelona,
accompanied with the demand of an apology on the
part of the REGENT'S Government, for the accusations
which had been made against the French Consul re-
speeting his participation therein. Then the prema-
ture accession of the young QUEEN to the throne,
and other acts to which she had been induced, by her
counsellors, ro give her sanction, really had involved
greater violations of the Spanish Constitution than
had ever been committed throughout all the
despotic reign of FERDINAND VII. But a
" cordial understanding" had been stated, by the
King of the FRENCH himself, to exist between his
Government and that of Great Britain, on
all subjects of foreign policy in general—on the
affairs of Spain in particular. "On what policy was
this good understanding based ?" asked the Noble Earl,
in continuation. And then he adverted to the claim
which the Court of France was understood to set up
to the right of selecting a consort for the Queen of
SPAIN, and to the limitation of that choice to some
member of the house of BOURBON. He hoped that
whatever might be the fact, as to this hitherto un-
heard of pretension, it was not true (confidently
as the allegation had been made) that the right had
been exercised, and the selection made, in the person
of the Count DE TRAPANI, brother to the reigning
King of NAPLES. This Prince had been educated in
the College of Jesuits at Rome, and destined for
holy orders. Now the Court of Naples, it was noto-
rious, was the only Court of Europe which had
avowedly conspired on behalf of Don CARLos. The
Noble Earl contended that, without imputing to
the French Government any actual connexion with
the movement against the EX-REGENT, yet had it
acted as it should have done towards its own sub-
jects who were known to be intriguing against him
ESPARTERO (to whose constitutional Government she
paid a well-merited tribute) his Regency would never
have been subverted.

Be it remembered that the essential premises, predi.
cated by the Tamworth practitioner, of his proposed
remedy have been suspiciously underrated. The pro-
duct of the new tax has largely exceeded his avowed
anticipations on the subject, and this excess of its
product has not elicited any announcement as to the
accelerated termination of the experiment. Parlia-
ment itself, without distinction of party, seems dis-
posed to congratulate the Premier on the language of
the Speech from the Throne, on the auspicious dis-
tinction of this year in the fact of the revenue
being fully adequate to defray all the charges of the
expenditure. Ministers assume a lofty tone of
self gratulation at having achieved this re-
sult ; and the Opposition forbear to remind
them that it has been accomplished by the
revival in a period of profound peace of the most
odious and inquisitorial of taxes ever resorted to in time
of war. Even the economists—apt to watch with
jealous vigilance the increase of customary, or the in-
troduction of new items of charge on the estimates—
abstain from showing that by how much the antici-
pated product is exceeded by the actual receipt on
account of the income-tax, by so much is a case of
irresistible force made out for the reduction of the
rate of per tentage. They forget to insist that, in
the alternative of retaining the present per cent ige,
yielding this excess of product, a case as unanswer-
able is established for the Minister's abridging the
term during which this iniquitous impost shall be
levied on our overburdened country. Finally, per-
from very weariness, they cease to expose the
haps,
juggle of a surplus income, derived not from the legi-
timate yield of previously-imposed taxation, more or
less equal,
but from the screw force brought to bear
upon private property and income, by the application
of that perilous and unnatural high pressure which
the most inapt of financial Ministers has ever ven-
tured to invoke under similar circumstances.

THE VERDICT.

THE STATE TRIALS.
(From the Times.)
DUBLIN, MONDAY, FED. 12.

The Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Burton, and Mr.
Justice Crampton took their seats on the bench this
morning a few minutes after nine o'clock, at which
hour the Court was crowded, but not inconveniently
so, as a very large force of police was stationed at
the main entrance to keep off the crowd, and clear
the various passages leading to the Queen's Bench to
prevent the admission of persons not duly authorised.
The traversers arrived at an early hour.
Mr. O'Connell, who was accompanied by his son
Daniel and Mr. W. S. O'Brien, took his seat at the
table of the Queen's Counsel.
Mr. J. O'Connell appeared in his professional robes
amongst the juniors, while the rest sat at the traver-
sers' bar.

Mr. Justice CRAMPTON minutely detailed to his
brother judges what took place on Saturday evening,
subsequent to their leaving the Court, at half-
past five o'clock, and accounted for the difficulty
which the jury had experienced respecting the
first and second counts by observing that they
contained five distinct issues, upon which there
should be five distinct findings, and did not, there-
fore, admit of a general finding. Having briefly de-
scribed the nature of the issues, involved in the
several counts, and pointed out in what respects
they differed one from the other, his Lordship sug-
gested that the proper course to adopt would be to
put these issues before the jury, in the distinct form
in which he had now explained them.
The jury were then called into' Court ; the sug-
gestion of his Lordship was acted on ; they retired,
and returned at ten o'clock with their verdict, to the
reception of which
Mr. MOORE, Q.C., objected, on the ground that one
of the jurors was described on the panel as " John
Rigby," though he himself had declared that his
name was " John Jason Rigby."
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL observed, that Mr.

Rigby had been sworn as " John Rigby," and that
particular notice was made of the fact at the time by
the Crown.
A note having been taken of the objection,
Mr. BOURNE, the Clerk of the Crown, read the

verdict of Guilty generally against all the traversers
excepting the Rev. Mr. Tierney, who was found
Guilty upon two counts only.
The following are the several counts of the indict-
ment, with the verdict of the jury, as affecting each
traverser upon each count :

GUILTY—D. O'Connell, J. O'Connell, T. M
Ray, J. Gray, T. Steele, C. G. Duffy, R. Barrett
Rev. T. Tierney.

SIXTH COUNT.

For conspiring to cause and aid in causing divers
subjects to meet and assemble in large numbers at
various times and at• different places in Ireland,
for the unlawful and seditious purpose of obtaining,
by the exhibition of great physical force at such
meetings, changes and alterations in the Government,
laws, and Constitution as by law established.
GUILTY—D. O'Connell, J. O'Connell, T. Steele,
T. M. Ray, C. G. Duffy, J. Gray, R. Barrett.
NOT GUILTY—Rev. Mr. Tierney.
The same verdict was returned on the remaiuing
five counts.

7. For conspiring to cause, and aid in causing,
divers subjects of the Queen to meet in large numbers,
at various times and at different places in Ireland, for
the unlawful and seditious purpose of obtaining, by
means of the intimidation to be thereby caused, and
by means of the exhibition of great physical force at
such meetings, changes and alterations in the Govern-
ment, laws
'and Constitution of this realm, as by law
established, and especially by the means aforesaid to
bring about and accomplish a dissolution of the Legis-
lative Union now subsisting between Great Britain
and Ireland.

8. For conspiring to bring into hatred and dis-
repute the tribunals by Jaw established in Ireland for
the administration of justiceond to diminish the con-
fidence of her Majesty's subjects in the administra-
tion of the law therein, with intent to induce the
subjects to withdraw the adjudication of their dif-
ference with and claims upon each other from the
cognizance of the tribunals by law established, and
to submit the same to the judgment and determina-
tion of other tribunals to be constituted and contrived
for that purpose.
9. For conspiring to bring into hatred and disre-
pute the tribunals by law established in Ireland for
the administration of justice, to diminish the con-
fidence of her Majesty's subjects in Ireland in the
administration of the law therein, and to assume anal
usurp the prerogative of the Crown in the establish-
ment of courts for the administration of the law.

10. For conspiring to bring into hatred and dis-
repute the tribunals by law established in Ireland for
the administration of justice, and to diminish the con-
fidence of her Majesty's subjects in Ireland in the ad-
ministration of the law therein.
