LONDOW, MONDAY, JANUARY 29, 1844.

The end of the beginning of the Irish State Trials
arrived on Friday. " This is the case of the Crown,"
said the Attorney-General, in a weak voice,
scarcely audible in the gallery. Is this the case of the
Crown ? inquired every one outside the Court. Where
are the reported revelations respecting the French
and American correspondence? said one—where the
expected exposure of appropriation or misappropria-
tion of the Repeal funds ? inquired another—where
the secret meetings and designs of the conspirators?
where the proofs of the " as wicked a conspiracy as
ever existed ?" asked all. This wicked conspiracy
consists, then, of articles from newspapers, reports of
speeches, which disclaimed all violence and appeals to
physical force ; monster meetings, at which there
was not the slightest tendency to a breach of the
peace ;" arbitration courts, to which the people chose
to resort for that justice which they had no
confidence in finding elsewhere, and songs.
Nobody who does not wish for a verdict per
fas aut nefas now believes in any conspiracy.
The Crown case has settled that. It is ad-
mittel on all hands to be a miserable failure.
a mistake—a spoiled speculation—a bungled blunder.
The beginning of the end commenced on Saturday--
11r. SHEIL led on the attack. The greatest anxiety
prevaged to, listen to him. There was not more in-
terest manifested the first day. The questions asked
were—" What are they doing now in Court ?" "Is
speaking ?" " Is he pitching it into' the
Attorney-General ?" " Are the jury moved?"
Within the Court all was deep interest—not a sound
was heard save the piercing tones of the speaker.
Mr. SHED'. addressed the Court from the end of the
table immediately facing the jury. Mr. O'CONNELL
sat with his back to the bench, on the right of
Mr. SLIMY., who had a large volume before him,
formed of sheets of paper roughly sewn together,
" written within and without," and on which were
pasted various slips of printed matter in the shape of
quotations, Sze. He commenced by stating that he
appeared for Mr. J. O'CONNELL, that he was fully
aware of the magnitude of the occasion, and his own
inability to do justice to it, but that he approached
it, if not unmoved, at least without dismay.
lie at
once plunged into his case ; no summary' Co
uldpossi-
bly do justice to his animated address ; we must, there-
fore, refer the reader to the report itself. No portions
of his speech were more feelingly delivered than
those in which he deplored the unhappy effects of the
religious dissensions that have torn Ireland asunder.
His comparison of her present disturbed state, with
every element of religious rancour and hatred
raging within her, with the quiet and harmony
in which the Protestants and Catholics of Germany
live together, was exceedingly striking. Atone por-
tion of his address, the audience being carried away
by the eloquence of the advocate, forget they were
in a Court of Justice, And gave a round of applause.
The Chief Justice immediately reproved the inde-
corum, stating that if it occurred again, the Court

must be cleared. Mr. SHELL launched some withering
sarcasm at the Attorney-General, which told with great
effect, and concluded his address at exactly three
o'clock. The Court then adjourned till Monday.

One of our Dublin Correspondents makes the fol-
lowing remarks on the proceedings which took place
in the Queen's Bench on Saturday :
" It is not alone to the counsel arrayed against
him within the Court that the Tory chief law officer
of the Crown for Ireland has afforded opportunities, in
his drowsy, and yet, paradoxical as it may appear,
intemperate opening address to the Court and Jury ;
but even to many without the Court—to such indi-
viduals as he had occasion to allude, has he supplied
food for contradiction. Among several instances may
be mentioned that one connected with the "Baltin-
glass Monster. Meeting." In adverting to some of the
attendant circumstances of that meeting theßight Hon.
Gentleman said that "he was in a position to prove the
observations of some of those assembled thousands?'
Those observations, he proceeded to state, were to
the effect, "that they (the people) would and should
have repeal, and that, in this part of the country, they
would die to a man, but that they were afraid of the
sea-side fellows not standing by them ;" and that "Fa-
ther LALOR" (the parish priest of Baltinglass) "told
them in the chapel, that it was too far gone now, and
that they should get it, but not without blood being
shed." In the Dublin Evening Post, the Rev. Mr. La-
LOR has inserted a letter contradicting,in the most un-
equivocal manner, this statement of the Learned
Crown official, and the Rev. Gentleman assured me
this morning that he purposes remaining in town
during the trial, in order to prove on oath, on the
defence, that such language as that, thus attributed
to him, never escaped his lips.
"With respect to the course to be pursued by the
traversers in their defence, various rumours are afloat.
It is said they are prepared with no less than 270
witnesses, but I have been assured by one of their
counsel that they moan to call not more than about
twenty, and that those are to be gentlemen of rank
and station in the country—some of them magistrates
and ex-magistrates, and also Members of Parliament
—each: of these to be examined briefly as to the
• character and tone of the meetings, &c. The influ-
ence of their testimony, it is. presumed, and justly
so, will be not a little enhanced by the circum-
stance of many of those gentlemen being neither
Roman Catholics nor Repealers.
" In case the course above adverted to be followed
• up by the traversers, the trials are all but certain to
be closed by next Thursday week."

The evidence for the Crown on the Irish trials has
closed, and the case for the defence has been coin-
menced by Mr. SHELL. To any casual observer these
questions would arise : What have the accused to
meet ? What is the charge against them ? What is
the crime of which they are guilty ? The witnesses
for the Crown have not proved anything against
them ; and, for aught that appears on the proceedings,
not a single offence has been committed. Combina-
tion for unlawful purposes—conspiracy with ille-
gal intents—union of combiners and conspirators for
objects contrary to law ; not one of these has been
proved by the evidence for the prosecution. On the
contrary, there is not the slightest evidence of com-
bination, of conspiracy, or of illegal union ; and there
is every proof that all acts done were peaceable, and
in furtherance of a peaceable intent.
What, then, have the accused to meet? Before
an English jury, and an English tribunal, we answer
NOTHING ILLEGAL, NOTHING CONTRARY TO LAW.
But they have an Irish and an Orange Jury, and an
Irish Attorney-General, whom Mr. SLUM designates
as an " ARTFUL DODGER" to meet. They have to
break the trammels of the net which has been thrown
around them, and they have only truth, justice, and
innocence to rely upon, as a protection from per-
jury, espionage, and a packed jury.
Before an English jury, and with English judges,
the closing of the case for the prosecution, would have
been the finding a verdict for the defendants. For
never, in our experience, did case for a prosecutor
furnish such ample means for a traverser, as this pre-
sent. Nothing proved—nothing established, save
this great fact, that the Government of Sir ROBERT
PEEL was, by its organs, prepared to go all lengths,
and to run all hazards, to gain a conviction of the
man, whom, by argument, it could not put down, and
whom it was determined to crush by means legal or
illegal.
Everything that eloquence, that argument, that
learning can do, will be done by the counsel for the
traversers. They have a glorious and an important
office to perform—they have to strip sophism of its
influence, superstition and bigotry of their powers
over a prejudiced tribunal. They have to argue as if
were possible to convince by argument, or to make
predetermination submit to reason. If they succeed,
great to them the glory, great to the jury the honour
will be. If they fail, no dishonour will attach to
the counsel, and the public will give as much im-
portance to the decision of the jury as they would to
the finding of Eastern satraps, or to the nominal
council of the Grand Seignior.

Whatever may be the result of the trial for murder
and parricide which must ensue upon the finding of
the Coroner's inquest just terminated at Taunton—
(and GOD forbid that we should prejudge, even in
the most unimportant particular, the issue of that
solemn proceeding ; or prejudice, by the weight of the
minutest atom, the case of the parties now in prison
to await it)—we may, without impropriety, direct
attention to one remarkable fact in the case, that may
be noticed without any detriment to individuals, the
question of whose guilt or innocence must be deter-
mined on the proof, or failure of proof, as to their
own personal acts, of a much more grave and direct
character.

The unhappy victim in this case was a labouring
man, of very good reputation ; and although his
family appear to have been on the pauper books of
the Somersetshire Union, within which their place
of residence was comprehended, he had managed to
subscribe, and regularly pay up his contributions, to
one of those benefit clubs, which assure to parties
standing in a given relation to any member or sub-
scriber, a certain sum in the name of funeral ex-
penses, payable on such subscriber's death. On the
decease of the man SEALEY, whom the verdict of the
inquest declares to have died by poison feloniously
administered to him, the somewhat considerable sum
of 8/. was paid to the eldest daughter for the
expenses contingent on the burial of her father. It
is not necessary to recur here to the point which
came out, however, in evidence—that the money
does not appear to have been so paid to the
nearest relative," in the eye of the law ; for there
was an eldest son in neighbouring service, who, pro-
bably should have been the individual to receive the
amount. But this is a question which we must
leave to the Society to settle on future occasions,
with persons similarly situated—as to relationship
to a deceased member. Let us hope that there
may be no further features of analogy to the present
in any future case, wherever the burial money may be
claimed ,)f• such associations. We have simply to
remark that the unfortunate man, the fact of whose
murder has been affirmed by the finding of the in-
quest on the result of medical and chemical evidence,
tendered with great apparent accuracy and scientific
detail, was a member of such a society ; that the
funeral expences actually incurred in his burial,
&c., were proved by the party to whom they were
paid, to have somewhat exceeds d 2/. ; and that his
eldest daughter claimed and received 81. Now
this is a circumstance calculated to create a prima
facie case of suspicion against her in the minds of the
jury, who will have to try the capital indictment
against her, before another Court. And if the
wretched prisoner were not, as to the receipt of this
burial money, in the same position, only, as thousands
of the labouring classes innocently are, in the course of
a single year, there might be some reasonable ground for
this sort of presumption of guilt against her. But in
common justice both to her and to her sister (and
fellow prisoner), we would warn those who may be
called upon to discharge the duty of sitting as jurors
on their coming trial, that the claim of the burial
money—even in connexion with the much inferior
charge of the actual funeral—can justify, of it-
self, no such presumption. This is one only
of a class of cases, arising out of a system
vicious and dangerous, undoubtedly, beyond any
terms of reprobation that we can employ. The
inevitable tendencies of such societies to degenerate
from their legitimate and valuable purposes, is as un-
qpiesitionable as it is to be deplored. Few objects of

small periodical contributions by respectable la-
bourers, of course of limited means, can be imagined,
at once more natural or more harmless, if not actually
meritorious, than the making timely provision for
the decent interment of themselves or the members
of their families. But it has been clearly shown, by
Mr. CHADWICK, in a valuable portion of his " Sup-
plementary Report on the Practice of Interment in
Towns," devoted to an exposition of the " crimes
produced by payments on the deaths of children,"
I, That individuals, by multiplying their connexions
with societies of this kind in various quarters of
a large district, and paying a small contribution to
each, realise on the death of a child, or a parent, or a
wife, according to the terms of their respective " as-
surances," very large sums, to the great misapplication
of the original design and the great waste of the
funds, of such benefit or assurance clubs or societies.
2. That these means of deriving considerable profits
from such assurances have too often proved fatal
temptations to infanticide and to murder by some
heads of families, the children of which have been
previously " entered in burial clubs," or by parents,
the one of whom was to derive this advantage through
the death of the other ; and even, in some cases, to
the deliberate suicides of fathers who conceived that
there was no other course open to them by which
they could so readily secure a certain sum of money
to their wives or their offspring!
Surely this is a hideous defect in the working of a
system of association, in so many other respects in-
valuable and entitled to every praise, for which the
Legislature cannot too early apply itself to devise
some remedy. Let it not be supposed that we are
speaking of imaginary consequences, or merely pro-
bable results. We blush to record that the clerk of
the* Stockport union was, about two years ago, com-
pelled to prosecute in two such cases, the parties
receiving such moneys on the death of their children
for murder. We make, also, the following quotation
from Mr. CHADWICK'S Report, without a single remark.
It is, itself, too impressive not to illustrate strikingly
what we have advanced on the subject. In section
62, he observes, of another case—
" In one case, where three children had been poisoned with
arsenic, the father was tried, with the mother, and convicted
at Chester, and sentenced to be transported for life, but the
mother was acquitted. In the other case, where the judge
summed up for a conviction, the accused, the father, was, to
the astonishment of every one acquitted. In this case the
body was exhumed after interment, and arsenic was detected

in the stomach. In consequence of the suspicion raised upon.
the death, on which the accusation was made in the first
case, the bodies of two other children were taken up and ex-
amined, when arsenic was found in the stomach. In all these
cases payments on the deaths of the children were insured
from the burial clubs. The cost of the coffin and burial dues
would n& be more than about 11., and the allowance from the
club is 3/."

With this practical corroboration of the evils which
may be theoretically predicated of the societies re-
ferred to, we shall for the present conclude the re-
marks so irresistibly suggested to us by the recent
appalling averments made before the Coroner at
Taunton.

Madrid journals of the 21st have been received, but
they bring no news. A private letter states that the
Minister of Finances has succeeded in procuring, in
the course of a month, a sum of 48,000,000 reals for
the army, &c. ; and that he was thinking of entering
into a contract respecting the tobacco revenue. The
contractor, or contractors, were to manage it for ten
years, to advance to the Government 50,000,000 reals
in three months, and to pay in, moreover, 72,000,000
a year. Half of the net produce, after deducting the
above, was to belong to the contractors, and the other
half to the Government. The former were, in addi-
tion, to subscribe obligations to the amount of
150,000,000, in order to supply, if need were, the
wants of the Government. The Archbishops of
SEVILLE and SANTIAGO, who had long resided in
Madrid under a sort of surveillance, had been autho-
rised to return to their dioceses.

On the 20th, the Three per Cents. were done at
25i for cash, and 261 at 60 days ; and the Five per
Cents. at 19i at 60 days.

The universal subject of conversation in Paris on
Saturday was the terrible tempest (tempete epou-
vantable) which took place in the Chamber of De-
puties on the preceding day. No scene like it has
taken place in any French assembly since the worst
days of the Revolution. The cause of all the uproar
was the tenth paragraph of the Address, which cen-
sures those Legitimatists who came to London on a
visit to the Duke of BORDEAUX. The first speaker
against it was M. BECHARD, who had not been at
Belgrave-square, but, nevertheless, defended the con-
duct of the pilgrims, and vindicated their attach-
ment to the descendant of so many Kings.
M. DE GIVEE followed, and made a violent attack
upon the Royalist party, who, he said, laboured to
abolish oaths, in order to abolish perjury. This
caused loud marks of disapprobation from the Car-
lists, which continued almost without interruption
while this member was in the tribune. M. BERRTER
defended his conduct with moderation, but was fre-
quently interrupted, and concluded by saying that
he should retain his seat in the Chamber so long as
it pleased his constituents. After a number of
other speakers, M. Guizor ascended the tribune,
and attacked those who despised oaths, and forgot
their duty as citizens, and in strong language vindi-
cated "public morality." This roused the ire of
M. BERRTER, who rushed to the tribune, and with
great effect contrasted the visit of the Legitimatists to
London, with the journey of M. GuzzoT to Ghent.
" We have not been," said he, " like those who dare
to accuse us, and wish to affix a brand of infamy on
our brows—we have not been among armed foreign-
ers—we have not been to place our hopes in an im-
mense disaster about to strike our native: land. Yes,
you have gloried in it ; you went amidst a foreign
army to give political advice to a king. I have been
to salute adversity, and to tell a prince that France
must be left in peace." This again called up M.
Guizor, when the storm commenced in earnest.
" Yes," exclaimed he, "I have been at Ghent."
Near a dozen of times, says a correspondent of the
Post, the organ of the Royalists in this country, did
the Minister of Foreign Affairs repeat the words
" Oui, ete a Gand." We have given else-
where an account of the proceedings, but it may be
interesting to our readers to have another brief ver-
sion of it as described by our Contemporary. " On
every occasion," that journal says, " his voice was
drowned in a clamour which shook the hall. It is
an indignity, it is treason, it is an infamy roared the
Gauche. Oui,j'ai ete a Gand,' exclaimed the Minister,
and the same cries of indignation were revived—' On
ne se vante pas de sa honte, on la cache.! vous n'avez
servi que l'etranger.' Innumerable invectives mingled
with the clamour. M. GUMP; though looking pale,
maintained his composure, and reminded the Chamber
that he had been formerly suffered to explain himself
respecting the same fact before a quiet house ; but
this appeal yielded him but another thundering ex-
plosion. Non I non!' cried they, ' nous avons
proteste !' Nous avons proteste 11 The confusion
then reached its height, the Opposition rose, many
climbed their benches, all shouted together, numbers
struck their desks—in short, the storm raged in all
its fury. Vous pouvez epuiser vos forces,' (you
may exhaust your strength), replied M. GUIZOT,
whose voice for a moment commanded the uproar,
Vous n'epuiserez pas mon courage 1' (You will not
exhaust my courage !) The undaunted firmness with
which he stood their violence seemed to exas-
perate them more and more ; he repeatedly commenced
again his Oui, j'ai ete a Gand,' but was invariably
overwhelmed by the furious vociferations of the Op-
position. 'Vous etes un traitre (You are a trai-
tor) exclaimed M. ERNEST DE GIRARDIN, when the
Gauche responded in chorus, Oui, oui !" Does
the Member who interrupts me wish to speak after
me ?' ob4erved M. GUIZOT, with much calmness.
Non ;' replied he, mais je vous dirai de ma place
que vous avez trahi le pays, que vous avez passe a
l'etranger la veille de Waterloo et cet acte est in-
fame 1" (But I will tell you from my place that you
have betrayed your country, that you passed the eve
of the battle of Waterloo with the stranger,' and
that act is infamous). A thousand other apostrophes
were levelled at him, such as C'est abominable !
C'est hanteux !' M. ODILLON BARROT disdainfully
cried—' Eh ! bien, laissons-le etaler sa honte et ayons
le courage de l'entendre jusqu'au bout.' (Come, let
him glory in his shame, but let us have the
courage to hear him to the end.) M. Durizi im-
plored silence, and M. GTJIZOT again strove to
address the Chamber, but at every attempt the storm
grew louder and fiercer. At length, nearly exhausted,
he succeeded in obtaining some hearing, and concluded
again by exhorting the Chamber to vote the para-
graph, the discussion on th♦ ensemble of which was

ultimately closed. The sitting commenced at half-
past one, and at near eight, when it ended, the Cham-
ber continued to exhibit the utmost agitation upon
this extraordinary debate." All the journals before us
dwell, and almost everything that we see in their co-
lumns is connected, with its exciting features.
The Chamber met next day, when the calm was
most remarkable. M. CORDIER moved that the
paragraph in which occur the words " culpable
machinations" be left out. Whilst the speaker was
supporting this amendment, above fifty Members
approached the Ministerial bench and shook hands
with M. GUIZOT ; M. BERRY ER himself addressed
him with much courtesy. The Gauche paid little
attention to M. CORDIER'S speech. Meanwhile, M.
TxIERS approached, with a paper in his hand, a
cluster of Deputies, of which M. ODILLON BARROT
was the Centre. M. LBDRtI ROLLIN supported
the amendment, and succeeded in imparting some
animation to the discussion, by comparing the
Acts of the Restoration, with what had been
done since 1830. After a speech of M. JOLAIN,
in favour of the, .Committee's paragraph, M.
DE LAM A RTIN E addressed the Chamber for the
first time this session, and delivered a conciliatory
speech, in which he declared against the strong lan-
guage adopted in that paragraph, and in favour of one
of the proposed amendments, though he had no ob-
jection to the sanctity of oaths being proclaimed.
M. D ANGEVILLE deemed a demonstration against the

Legitimatists necessary, and declared that he should
reject all the amendments. DI. BECHARD required a
definition of the oath taken by the Members of the
Chamber, in order that he might make up his mind
as to the propriety of tendering his resignation.
Thereupon loud cries of " Aux voix" arose, and
the amendments were rejected by a majority of 30.

Upon the division taking place, the Marquis DE
L A ROCHE-J ACQUELIN re signed his seat in the Cham,
her of Deputies.

ANTI-CORN-LAW MEETINGS AT HULL.—On Fri-
day a meeting was held in the Town-hall, at eleven
o'clock, to receive a deputation from the Anti-Corn-
law League, consisting of Richard Cobden, Esq.,M.P.,
John Bright, Esq., M.P., and Colonel Thompson.
The hall was crowded to excess. Sir Wm. Low-
throp was called to the chair. The speeches made on
the occasion fill six pages of the Hull Rockingham
newspaper, but owing to the great length of the
splendid speech made by Mr. Shell in defence of Mr.
John O'Connell, in the Queen's Bench, Dublin, we
cannot find room for even an outline. In the evening
another meeting took place in the Victoria-rooms,
when about 500 persons assembled, and Sir Wm.
Lowthrop was again called to the chair. The meet-
ing was addressed by the Rev. James Aspinall, rector
of Althorp, Lincolnshire ; Mr. Bright, the Rev. E.
Higginson, Colonel Thompson, and the late Mayor of
Hull, Mr. Alderman Atkinson. The subscriptions
amounted to 3541. ss.

PRO-CORN-LAW MOVEMENTS.—Anti-League meet-
ings have recently been held at Grantham, at Hunting-
don, at Aylesbury, at Gloucester, in North Bedfordshire,
and Derby, and at Long Sutton. At all these meetings
the speeches were pretty nearly of the same character,
and full of abuse of the League.

The Cabinet Council appointed to be held this after-
noon at the Foreign• office, Downing-street, is fixed for
two o'clock. All the Ministers are expected to attend.

The Sheriffs' Dinner will be given this evening, by
Lord Wharncliffe, to the Ministers and great officers,
at his Lordship's residence, in Curzon-street. The
Sheriffs' list for the present year will then be arranged.
