tion from Mr. O'Connell. Thomas Packer, a
lithographic artist, late in the employment of
Mr. Holbrooke, lithographer to the Repeal As-
sociation, was then examined. He proved the en-
graving of two descriptions of cards, and a docu-
ment entitled " the diploma of a repeal warden,"
for the Repeal Association. The cards were those
referred to in the opening speech of the Attorney-
General. The witness stated that he designed the
portraits in the borders. They represented Mr.
O'Connell, Mr. Flood, Owen Roe O'Neill (a leader
of the Roman Catholics in the merciless war-
fare carried on under pretence of favouring the
monarchy in 1641-5), Brian Boroihme, and Allan
Fodlum (an apocryphal character celebrated in
the Irish annals as a lawgiver). This likeness the
witness sketched from his imagination, as he did that
of the rebel Hugh O'Neale. There were also por-
traits of General Saarsfield and " King Daltran."
The designing and engraving of these cards were
carried on under the inspection of four of the tra-
versers. The cross-examination of these witnesses
elicited nothing material. Isaac Gardner, a writing
engraver, John Annesley, a lithographer, and Joseph
Annesley, a printer, proved the printing of the cards,
as well as of the " deed of submission," and " award
of arbitrators." The latter documents were, after
some opposition by the traversers' counsel, read to the
Court. John Ulick Macnamara, a short-hand writer,
connected with an Irish provincial newspaper, stated
that he was present at a repeal meeting, attended by
Mr. O'Connell, at Tullamore, on the 16th July, and
took notes of the proceedings. He read to the Court
the addresses of three Roman Catholic priests,
Flanagan, Spain, and Kearney, and a portion of the
speech of Mr. O'Connell. 3he witness also de-
scribed the banners displayed on the occasion, one of
which bore the motto " Ireland and her Parliament,
Eh* World in a Blaze." He was cross-examined
great length, and stated that he had been employed
take notes of the meeting by a stipendiary
magistrate, but had not been yet paid. During
the examination of this witness the Attorney-General
informed the Court that two of the traversers
(understood to be Mr. O'Connell and his son) had
left the precincts of the Court ; and that
although he was disposed to give them every
reasonable liberty during the trial, he could
not permit them to attend meetings elsewhere ; con-
sequently, if they did not return immediately he
would estreat their recognisances. Mr. O'Connell,
who had been attending a meeting of the
Repeal Association, shortly afterwards entered the
Court. John Simpson Stewart, a sub-inspector of
constabulary, gave evidence respecting the Tullamore
meeting, in corroboration of that of the last witness.
Mr. Neill Browne, a stipendiary magistrate, gave
testimony to the same effect. James Johnson,
a head-constable, was next examined respect-
ing the meeting held at Longford on the 29th
of May. He took notes, which he read, of the
speech of Mr. O'Connell, and proved that banners were
exhibited bearing such mottoes as "A population of
nine millions is too great to be dragged at the tail of
any other nation," &c. With the cross-examination
of this witness the proceedings terminated. We
observe with regret a statement to the effect that
placards have been posted in Dublin of a most
atrocious character, denouncing Mr. Hughes, one of
the witnesses for the Crown, as " a spy and an in-
former." Every person who knows anything of the
feelings of the lower Irish must be aware that to
use these epithets respecting any individual, is to
make him the victim of gross insult, if not of assas-
sination ; but the miscreants who are guilty of such
a proceeding as posting these placards, add lying to
their other iniquities. Mr. Hughes gave his evidence
in a most ingenuous and honest manner. At all the
meetings lie was known and declared to be taking
notes for the Government. His testimony bore, with-
out the least injury, a searching cross-examination,
and in no one particular is the slightest impropriety
attributable to his conduct.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS,

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
GLOBE.—The Irish State trials proceedings of
Monday are before us. With the exception of
Saturday's—the whole of which were occupied
by the evidence of that most imaginative wit-
ness, Mr. Jackson, the Morning Herald's veri-
table correspondent—the proceedings of Monday
were the most stale, flat, and unprofitable for the
purposes of the prosecution (and this is saying a
good deal) of any of the preceding days. The pro-
prietor of the Morning Herald receives anything but
commendation from the Dublin Tory journals for his
anxious solicitude on behalf of the Government.
Whether • the -break down of the witness he sup-
plied has caused the Tory organs to treat his fond
concern with such cold, insulting comment, we know
not. There may be, and possibly is, a general feeling,
that to hand a confidential agent over to the Crown
Solicitor, and to forward letters to this officer which
had been written under the seal of such confidence,
without once consulting or communicating with the
Writer—just as though he had been "a horse, a dog,
or a -mUle," are acts which reflect discredit on the en-
tire press ; and are therefore visited, as they deserve
to be, with reprobation. The following allusions by
the jublin Mail to the Morning Herald's "supply in
aid," are anythinghut complimentary to the obsequious
journal :—" Mr. Jackson, a reporter connected with
the Morning Herald, was put upon the table to
verify sundry reports transmitted by him to London.
It appears that the manuscripts forwarded by Mr.
Jackson to the Herald office, were placed in the
hands of the Crown Solicitor, by the proprietor
of that journal, without the knowledge of Mr.
Jackson. On a cross-examination, it was made to
appear that several of the reports were mere com-
pilations from the Dublin morning papers, and con-
sequently Mr. Jackson's evidence was rendered
nugatory.'' This witness was evidently regarded as
one of the main props of the prosecution. His de-
plorable "break down" was therefore felt to be a
serious and most untoward event, which could not be
counteracted. Mr. Jackson was to have proved all
the matters—the sayings and doings with which
the indictment charges the traversers in connexion
with the Corn Exchange meetings of the
Repeal Association. The following are the dire
forebodings of failure to the prosecution, resulting
Dublin Mail utters on this' sad mishap :—"
from Mr. Jackson's short comings, which the
We know
not to what extent this ladle may affect the indict-
ment with respect to certain transactions of the Corn
Exchange Association; but we cannot refrain from
censuring the culpable carelessness which left so im-
portant a portion of the case to the accidental care or
negligence of any chance reporter whose notes might
turn up. The Government of Lord Grey was far more
vigilant in this respect, and when the occasion of
watchfulness arose, two Government reporters were
officially attached to the Association of the day,
with its collateral meetings." The witnesses
examined on Monday have proved nothing

ster meetings," which had not marked those of the
earlier dates. Criminal negligence, on the part of the
Government, is proved beyond question, if it be assumed
that the public peace has been perilled by them ;
while, if they be regarded as mere public demon-
strations of a general dissatisfaction in the people

of the Act of Legislative Union of the two countries
that condition would be improved ; they determining
to seek, by constitutional means, the attainment of
that object—lawful in itself, though chimerical in
the highest degree, as a remedy for their social griev-
ances; we can scarcely conceive of anything more
impolitic. For the Government to imagine that such
a state of feeling, in such a people, could be allayed by
first spreading an immense military force over the
peaceable 'country, until-every district in it wears the
appearance of a military depot, and the whole as
though it were held in its subjection to the British
Crown by the presence of an army of occupation—
was a scheme so fraught with folly, and so pregnantli
t
with all the elements of real danger, as to justify 1
worst apprehensions for the peace of the country.

he was going to the meeting to take a note of the
proceedings for the purpose of being used on any
prosecution ? The answer is worthy of note. it '
seemed to take the counsel for the Crown perfectly
by surprise ; and produced, as it well might, a hearty
laugh at their expense from the Bar and the
audience :—" On my oath I did not. I thought,
after so many meetings had passed over where the
very same language was used, and the same pro-
ceedings had taken place, that no notice would have
been taken of that meeting in particular." It is
now pretty evident that the Crown lawyers are
beginning to wish these proceedings at an end. The
" shine" has been taken out of the vain boastings of
the Attorney-General in his opening speech. A more
lame and impotent conclusion never followed promises
so boldly made, and predictions so confidently uttered.
The proceedings on the trial will be published, of
course. The "mountain in labour" would be an apt
frontispiece to the hook, and
" farturiunt montes, nascitur ridiculus mus"
a fit motto for its title-page. In the prospect of de-
feat, the Tory organs seek consolation in the Royal
speech at the opening of Parliament, which the Mi-
nisters are now laboriously engaged in concocting
for the occasion.

taken by one of the counsel for the traversers, to the
effect that the trial should not proceed in the absence,
through illness, of Mr. Justice Burton. The At-

ment proved on Saturday by the printer, enti-
tled, "A. Plan for the renewed action of the
Irish Parliament." Mr. O'Connell insisted upon
the whole - being read, which was accordingly
done. It contained a list of the constituencies to be
created, with the number of members for each, and
some other regulations respecting the Irish Legisla-
lature, subsequent to the attainment of Repeal.
" The Rules to be observed by Arbitrators," were
then read. They comprised very minute instructions
for the conduct of the Arbitration Courts. The

to obey the awards of the arbitrators should be ex-

crowds ; the person in question I believe to be a Ca-
' tholic priest ; the people came on in military order ;
mean by military array a kind of rank and file order of
marching ; there were several persons on horseback ;
about 100 of them came into town with Mr. O'Connell ;
he sat on the front box or seat of his carriage ; there
was a gentleman sitting with him whom I under-
stood to be Bishop Higgins. Mr. Steele was inside,
and another person, who seemed to be a clerical
gentleman. I did not know .who he was. Mr. O'Con-
nell arrived about two o'clock. He was preceded
by three or fbur bands playing before him. The houses
in the town were decorated with green bows, and
some of the people carried bows in their hands, waving
them ; some of the people had sticks, and on approaching
the platform way was made for them, and- sonic of them
had sticks and were brandishing. them; the meeting broke
up between four and five o'clock; I was near the platform
which was very large, and a number of persons on it ; I
did not see any of the traversers except Mr. O'Connell and
Mr. Steele; I took notes of the mottos that day but Mr.
Johnston took notes of the speeches from a window, under
my observation, as we could not both conveniently take
chem ; the motto over the platform was "Ireland for the
Irish, and the Irish for Ireland ; that was very conspi-
cuous ; in another part of the town was "A population
of nine millions is too great to be dragged at the tail
of another nation ;'.it was on a large piece of white
calico or linen, and was fastened to the wall on the
Dublin road ; it was after the meeting I saw
it there ; another motto was "He that com-
mits a crime strengthens the enemy ;" I am quite
sure the word enemy was there ; another motto was
" Repeal and no separation"—" Cead mille fealtha." I
heard Mr. O'Connell speak that day in the early part of
his speech. He said theirs was no vain cause. I cannot
charge my memory with having heard him make any
allusion to trial by Jimy or the administration ofjustice.
Did you hear him make any allusion to judges or
courts of justice ?—He said they took the commission
of the peace from your respected supporters ;" he also
said to the people "Go home quietly, and tell your
friends what you have heard, and when I marl' von
again won't you be ready ?" That se Itence WU im-
pressed on my memory, as ;t Wis ti e co iclusion of his
speech ; after that Mr. Steele cane forward, with a
parcel of papers ; he st,id t Ley were speeches of the
Liberator's, made about some measure of Sir R. Peel's.
After Mr. O'Connell made his speech did you see any
brandishing of stocks ?—No. _
_ _

Mr. Fitz—gibbon—Having regard to the testimony of
the last witness yesterday I would ask is that question
put in a fair or legal shape?
Judge Perrin—Sure it has been answered.

Chief Justice—What harm is the answer?
Mr. Bennett—l would be exceedingly obliged to Mr.
Fitzgibbon if he finds me putting an illegal question to
make an objection to it at the time, and I shall esther
sustain it or give it up.
Mr. Fitzgibbon—" After Mr. O'Connell's speech did
you see any brandishing of sticks ?"
Mr. Bennett—Yes ; I had a right to put that ques-
tion, and you are not to judge of its legality, sir ; it is
for the Court.

Chief Justice—Oh, go on with the examination.
Witness—The people all dispersed after the meeting.
Chief Justice—Can you state about how many per-
sons you suppose were there ? I think between forty
and fifty thousand.
Cross-examined by Mr. Hatchell, Q.C.—I am in the
constabulary, and a first head constable. I am not a
sub-inspector, but it is the next step to my office. John-
ston was the head constable there on the occasion.
Tere are two degrees in the class of head constables.
There is one chief head constable in each count.
Mr. O'Connell—Speak up, Sir, let us hear what
you say.

- I an' a first head constable, and the next step is sub-
inspector. I came to Longford on the 27th of May, the
night before the meeting. I came with Johnston, who
was examined here yesterday.
Did you read any report of his evidence in the papers
this morning ?—Not this morning.
Did you last night, Sir ?—Yes, I did.
Mr. Hatchell—So I thought.
Were you ever in the army ?—No.
Where did you stop in Longford ?—We got into a
house convenient to the platform.
And you saw it of course ?—Yes, certainly.
Did you see any breach of the peace committed ?
None whatever.

Or any tendency to a breach of the peace 2—There
was no breach of the peace committed.
Who do you evade giving me a direct answer ?—I will
tell you all I know about the subject.
Was there any tendency to a breach of the peace ?—I
did not see any breach of the peace committed.
Give me a direct answer, Sir. Was there any ten-
dency to a breach of the peace 7—None that I saw.
I take it for granted you are not a Repealer ?
—(Laughter.)—No, nor do I belong to any other party.
Don't you belong to a party of police.—(Laughter.)
You saw a great deal of people there 7—Yes, after
Mr. O'Connell arrived.

But there was no breach of the peace, and having gone
there to preserve the peace, and finding the peace was
not broken,
" Alas, Othello's occupation was gone,"
and Mr. head-constable Macquire had nothing at all to
do.—(Great laughter.) Is it not so ?—I did not go there
to preserve the peace at all.
Didn't you though. Ah, me ! Well, and what
brought you there Mr. Head-constable Maguire ? I
went there to make observations.

Mr. Hatchell—Hah 1 That was the tactic of a good
general to see how the land lay in the first instance.—
(Loud laughter.) When we are assembled for preserv-
ing the peace, we act under the command of the sub-
inspector.
The people were cominglin merrily ?—Yes, they were
The same as to a country fair ?—Eh.
Did you ever see the people coming into an Irish
country fair merrily ?—Yes, very, after kicking up their
heels and dancing a little bit.—(Loud laughter). Yes,
something after that fashion.
You said the people were brandishing their sticks ?
Yes, they were.

Was it in anger or disorder, or had it a tendency to
anger or quarrel amongst themselves2—Not the least
anger.

were coming in parties,' you said ?—Yes, they
were coming in military array.
Oh, dear me, in military array. Now had they their
sticks on their shoulders this way ?—(Here the Learned
Gentleman shouldered a large pm amid great laughter.)
Was that the way, eh ?—No they had not.
Do you understand me ?—I suppose I do.
Did they carry arms ?—(Great laughter.)—No.
Did they come to the post 2—No.—(Laughter.)
Did they present arms when the General came up?—
(Roars of laughter.)—No.
Did they charge ?—No.
They did not ?—No, they did not ; no.
And yet they came in military array. Wonderful
Captain Maguire I—(lmmense laughter.) They came
in military array and did not carry arms, did not come
to the post, did not present arms to the General, did not
charge—(Laughter)—and yet they came in military
array ?—Yes, they did.
Did they halt ?—Some of them might have halted.
Do you mean that some of them were lame ?—(Shouts
of laughter.)—There might be some of them lame, and
in that sense they might halt.—(Laughter.)
Where did they halt?—Near the platform.
That was when they could not go further ?—Yes.—
(Immensi laughter.)
Did they stand at ease ?—I suppose they did, for some
of them must have come a good distance, and therefore
they must have been tired.—(Laughter.)
Oh, they wanted rest, and then they stood at ease—
just so ?—(Laughter.)—They marched, and patted, and
stood at ease, because they were tired.
Do you know anything about marching ?—Yes, some-
al. -

thing.
Were you ever drilled ?—I was.
Do you know the first movement ?—When a person is
desired to march he is to put his left leg foremost,
(Shouts of laughter.)
And let your right leg follow it 2—Ys, that's it.

Well, now, were the people coming in military array,
with their left legs foremost ?—(Renewed laughter.) I
do not know which of their legs were foremost.—(Great
laughter.)
Did you see them all march P—l don't know.
Did you ever hear " Come, brave boys, we're on for
marching"—(Laughter) ?—Can you explain the dif-
ference between the right and left legs 2—(Shouts of
laughter.)—Not exactly.
Which of your legs is foremost now ? Cannot say.
Mr. Bennett—What has the difference of legs to do
in this case ?

Mr. Hatchell—Do not be angry because I am pleased.
Come, Captain gaguire--General, I think, I ought to
call you—did you ever read Dundas on Manoeuvring ?
Yes, a little.

What part of it 7—Cannot say.
Then, you have forgotten your lesson ?—So it ap-
pears.—(Laughter.)
Well, now, having gotten so far with your left leg,
foremost, what do you mean by rank and file ? Two
deep.
Ah, hah ! you are too deep for me. On your oath,
does it t mean two deep, or a single file ? Cannot tell
exactly.
Oh, there you are, Mr. Captain Macquire, on Dundass's
tactics.—(Laughter.) Do you mean to tell that jury
that the people a 4 came in marching two deep deep.—
I do not.

SUMMARY of the STATE TRIALS.
(EIGHTH DAY.)
DUBLIN, JAN. 23.

The examination of the Crown witnesses was resumed
to-day at the sitting of the Court, at 10 o'clock.
They were all members of the constabulary force—
either officers or privates. Their testimony went
to prove the utterance of certain phrases and
expressions, to which the law•ofcers of the Cr own

meetings to which the evidence adduced t444:t(iiiF-177:
plied were those held at Longtbrd,

men founded their testimony upon notes which they
took of whatever appeared to them to be inflamma-
tory language, used by the speakers. On their
cross-examination it very frequently came out that
those " recording angels" in black belts were not the
most accurate note-takers in the reporting world.
Their notes appeared to be rather free translations of
the speeches of the Repealers. In one instance a por-
tion of a speech which was delivered at Baltinglass---
by' Mi. CONNER, of " fixity of tenure" notoriety,
who, it may be in the recollection of the public, was
expelled, some time ago, from the Repeal Assooiation,
for persisting in a motion of an unjust and illegal na-
ture, relative to the tenure of land—a portion of his
speech one of those armed reporters swore was deli-
vered by Mr. O'CONNELL. The witnesss under ex-
amination when our express left was Captain DES-
PARD, S. M., who was describing the characteristics
of the Tara meeting. •
Judge BURTON still continues indisposed, and does
not take his seat; his absence is much regretted, as
he is respected by all parties.

TORY DECENCY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Stn,—lt is a maxim of our law that " every man is to be
presumed innocent, until he is proved to be guilty."
Who would imagine that such a maxim was generally ad-•
mitted, when he perused the leading articles of the Standard
and Times—the first incessantly implying the guilt of Mr.
O'Connell and his co-traversers, the second boldly designating
them as " conspirators," and (vide Times of Monday, Jan. 22)
" seditionists. "

I am not disposed to raise a smile of pitying astonishment=
the countenances of your readers, by appearing to expt from
the editors of Tory papers, even the slightest knowledge of the
laws of their country, or of those of candour and justice—but
surely ignorant, prejudiced, and unjust, as they may be, we
are entitled to call upon them for common decency—or, it
least, requiring that if they have not any such quality, they
should pay the tribute to virtue of affecting it.
I am, dear Sir, yours, PUBLICOLA.

ARUNDEL, TUESDAY EVENING.—IIiS Royal High-
ness the Duke of Cambridge has been enjoying the sports of the
field to-day, in company with Lord Arundel, Lords Edward
and Bernard Howard, &c. The dinner party at the castle
this evening will include the Duke of Richmond and Lady
Caroline Lennox, W. G. K. Gratwicke, Thomas Evans, John
Abel Smith, Esqrs. Our bells rang a merry peal on the ar-
rival of his Royal Highness en Monday evening, which gave
great eclat on the occasion. We are happy to say the Noble
Duke is in the enjoyment of excellent health ; he leaves for
Petworth on Thursday on a visit to Colonel Wyndham, is
company with the Duke of Norfolk. The Norfolk Arms is
well occupied with company on the occasion. On Monday
the/ return to town to attend to their Parliamentary duties.
FRIGHTFUL TRAGEDY.-011 Friday a dreadful and
desperate murder was committed in Burntisland, which caused
deep and general excitement and regret amongst the inhabitants.
A man named Sliman, a shoemaker we believe, who had been
frequently under restraint while living previously in Berwick,
had been heard to threaten to kill several respectable indi-
viduals in the town and neighbourhood, under a mental delta.
lion that they were possessed of and withheld some money or
property belonging to him. However, no belief seems to have
een entertained that he would put any such threat into exe-
cution, and he was allowed to ge at large. But on Friday, or
the evening before, he had been seen sharpening two large pointed
knives, and the Provost being made aware of this eircumstanee,
we have been told by Sliman's father, he granted warrants to the
town officer, named CQrstorphine, to apprehend him. The
latter seat to Kinghorn for Simpson, the town officer there,
to assist him, and in the course of Friday forenoon tbq
came up to Sliman in the Links, when Corstorphine, taking him
by the arm, told him he would consider himself a prisoner.
The maniac asked on what warrant ; but before it could be
produced,. struck a knife into .the officer's hand, nearly cutting
it in two, and in another instant ran the knife into his heart.
Cerstorphine held the warrant of apprehension under his vent,
and it was pierced through by the knife, in its passage to his
body. He fell down instantly, and died in two or three
minutes. The maniac fled to his own house, where he barri-
caded himself in a garret; and as it was dangerous to come
near him, another officer was sent for to Kirkaldy, and the posse
comitatus raised, armed with such lethal instruments as they
could lay hold of. Finding they could not easily break into
his barricade, orders were then given, and slaters procured, to
unroof the house. This• proceeding had commenced, when
Sliman, imagining the egress would be now free, undid the
door and bolted down stairs; but was fortunately secured by
the officers before doing further injury to any one. Shrum has
a wife and several children in Burntisland. The officer, Core
storphine, was unmarried, but much respected in his offiee,
and his untimely and tragical death is much lamented by the
_whole community.— Caledonian Mercury.
The St. Petersburgh Journal of the Bth gives an
account of the solemn celebration of the betrothal of the Grand
Duchess Alexandrine Nicolaieona with Prince Frederick of
Hesse. After the ceremony the august betrothed presented
their thanks to their Majesties, who then received the felicita-
tions of all the other members of the Imperial Family. The
Archbishops and the clergy celebrated a Te Ileum, and when
the prayer was offered up for the health of the Imperial Family,
a salvo of 31 shots was fired from the fortress of St. Peters-
burgh. When the religious ceremony had concluded, the mem •
hers of the Holy Synod offered their felicitations to their Ma-
jesties and the young couple. The same day a banquet was
given in the Great Marble Hall to persons of both sexes of the
three first classes, and in the evening there was a grand dress
ball in St. George's Hall, at which were all the Ambassadors.
Foreign Ministers, and great personages of the Court. The
bells were kept ringing all day, and at night the fortress and
city were illuminated.

REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES, RY MOVING AMEND-
MENTS ON SUPPLY MOTIONS. —On the 21st of September last.
Mr. W. S. Crawford, M.P. for Rochdale, addressed a letter
to Mr. Joseph Sturge,. proposing that an effort should be made
to create a public opinion, in favour of the ancient and con•
stitutional principle of moving amendments on the supplies,
until- the people's grievances are beard and redressed. The
Council of the Complete Suffrage Union took the initiative its
