JIER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
SEASON 1844.
1 he following outline of the arrangements for the ensuing season
is resrectildly presented to the Nobility, Subscribers, and the Public,

Bank of England be struck out." On a division the num-
bers were—for the Bill, 145, and against it 70. A
provision was adopted, by which the Bank should
not lend more than 220,0001., and the Bill was
passed.
The second reading of the " Racing Penalties Re-
peal Bill" was postponed, until the motion for a vote
of thanks to the Sinde army was disposed of
Sir ROBERT PEEL then brought forward his mo-
tion for a vote of thanks to Sir CHARLES NArtEn and
the other 'officers and soldiers engaged in the ope-
rations in Sinde.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL followed the example of Lord
AUCKLAND in the House of Lords, and seconded the
motion—high tributes to the gallant army of Sinde.
For the speeches made on the occasion, we must, for
want of space, refer to the Parliamentary report. A
division took place, when there were for the vote of
thanks 164, and against it 9.

Mr. CHRISTIE then moved for a Select Committee
to consider the expediency of the presence of stran-
gers at debates, &c., which was opposed by the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. After a few words
from several Hon. Members, the House divided, when
the motion was negatived by a majority of 47.
The other business on the paper was then disposed
of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to One.

The verdict of the jury, which has been so anxi-
ously expected, is at length delivered, and does not
differ from that which we have always anticipated.
A jury chosen from an imperfect list of special jurors,
whose religious creed and political opinions formed
the test of fitness to serve, and upon whom the Crown
officials calculated, with undeviating reliance all
through the trial, for a verdict in accor-
dance with the purposes for which these pro-
secutions were instituted, could not give any verdict
but that of GUILTY against all the traversers. And
this they have done. They have not disappointed the
calculations of the Government, nor have they disap-
pointed us. We never had any expectations of an
acquittal. We never placed any reliance upon the
chances of justice from an Irish jury, con-
stituted and selected like that which for twenty-
four days has sat on the case of O'CONNELL.
The ends Qf the Crown, as to a conviction, are
now gained—the purposes for which the Crown
officials plotted in secret, and employed all the arts
of espionage, are attained—the objects for which the
jury was put in the box are achieved. And what
then ?

Does any man in the three kingdoms attach the
slightest importance to this verdict, as having any
moral effect, or any beneficial result? Does any
honest, conscientious Tory, in his own heart, ap-
prove it, or look to it as a successful vindication
of the law by legal means ? Does any Irish-
man feel that he has one grievance the less, or
that there is any one more reason why he
Should cease to agitate for a redress of his griev-
ances ?

We dislike Repeal—but we hate injustice. Trial
by Jury ought to be free from taint, otherwise ver-
dicts avail not, and are of no effect. This verdict
may be made an instrument of oppression, but it will
not gain respect for the means by which it has been
procured.
