HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY.
Morning ... 55 minutes after 5.1 Evening ... 12 minutes after 6.

proof was not necessary, and that the fact of its
having been distributed in the presence of the tra-
versers, and therefore with their knowledge and con-
sent, rendered it admissible evidence.
The document was admitted.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then applied to put in
evidence that portion of the speech of her MAJESTY
on the prorogation of Parliament, ieferring to Ire-
land, and expressing her determination to maintain
the Union.

Mr. MoouE objected to this course, but the speech
was admitted by the Court, on the ground alleged by
the Crown lawyers, that it had been commented on
in several speeches of Mr. O'CoNNELL, which formed
the subject matter of the indictment.
The speech, or rather the extract from it, was read
from the London Gazette of August 25.
JAMES IRWIN, station-house clerk of police at Liver-
pool, was the next witness examined. He proved
the posting of a placard in that town, containing the
" Address to all the Subjects of the British Crown."
C. VERNON, registrar of newspapers, proved the
registration of the Pilot, Nation, and Freeman's Jour-
nal newspapers, by Mr. BARRETT, Mr. DUFFY, and
Drs. GRAY and AMMON, as the respective proprie-
tors of each.

The conclusion of the day's proceedings consisted
of law arguments on both sides as to the admissibi-
lity or rejection of certain extracts from the Nation
newspaper.
We add the following extract from a letter written
by one of our Dublin correspondents :—" The evi-
dence for the Crown is expected to close on Thursday
There was a report that the traversers would not pro-
duce any evidence, the peaceable character of the
meetings being established by every witness called by
the Crown, but it now appears it is their in-
tention to call evidence, and particularly Protestant
evidence, to prove the perfect repose of the country, and
the peaceable character of the agitation. Not a point
is raised by the Counsel for the traversers which is not
ruled against them by the majority of the
Bench. Mr. Justice BURTON, who is not likely
to sit again during these trials, was cer-
tainly disposed to decide according to law, and
there was at least an absence of bad feeling on his
part. His illness is a loss to the traversers. The
contrast between those he left behind on the Bench
is now more prominent. The " sliding scale" is gone,
and the Chief and his left hand brother are left to
rule or overrule as they please. With regard to the
jury, the opinion becomes more general that they will
prove " good men and true," on one side, though
gentlemen of Conservative principles offer bets
that the jury will not agree. Whatever be the
result, the cause of Repeal will be strengthened."

We would give no small trifle, to know what report
Lord ELIOT, when he arrived in London on Wednes-
day morning from Dublin, made to his chiefs as
to the state of Ireland. He, no doubt, reported that,
thanks to the care taken by that most excellent
Crown officer, Mr. Attorney-General. SMITH, the
traversers now en their trial had been deprived of
all privileges, and been put on their defence with as
little chance for themselves as possible. That, thanks
to those exemplary functionaries the parties con-
cerned in making out a fair jury list, nearly one-
tenth of the entire number had been suppressed, and
thus, the traversers had been confined to a panel con-
cocted by those gentry. That, thanks to those who now
administer justice to Ireland, every Roman Catholic
had been struck from the panel, and that none but
Orangemen and Tories had been left on the jury.
That, thanks to the Judges, every point raised in
favour of the traversers, had been ruled against them.
That, although the evidence. for the prosecution had
signally failed, that circumstance would do no good to
the traversers, and that conviction was, at the mo-
ment Lord ELIOT left Dublin, believed to be certain,
and that so far the ends of the Government were
attained.

Fancy, Lord ELIOT grasping the hand of Sir JAMES
GRAHAM, or Sir ROBERT PEEL, and exclaiming—

" Thus far into the bowels of the land
Have we marched on without impediment."

And, after the first burst of enthusiasm had subsided,
picture the wily Premier coolly asking his overjoyed
Secretary, well, what then ? " Aye, there's the rub !"
What then ?

O'CONNELL convicted—a verdict for the Crown—
after a prosecution concocted and got up in such a
manner—before a jury so selected—and after such
proceedings in Court and out of Court! Will any
living creature tell us, what the Crown can do with
such a verdict—of what earthly use it will be to the
prosecutors—and how it will serve the purposes they
profess to have in view—namely, the putting down of
the Repeal agitation. We tell them such a verdict
as they hope and seek, such a verdict as they be-
lieve they have ensured, will be utterly useless to
them. It will be vox et preterea nihil, or, as an
Irish Latinist translated it, all moonshine, to the
accused, but death to the prosecutors.
The public like justice purely administered—they
respect the laws dispensed legally, and for legal ob-
jects; but they despise justice turned inside out—
bearing the name, but not the substance dispensed
without regard to the statute book, and rendered
subservient to the worst passions of tyrants, rene-
gades, and persecutors.

The conviction of O'CoNNELL will be destruction
to the present Government. Its temporary triumph
will be the forerunner of its complete disgrace. And
what if the Jury should do their duty ? We pause for
a reply.

The intelligence from Madrid is to the 17th instant.
The ex-Minister, OLOZAGA, who is now at Lisbon,
had addressed a letter to the electors of Madrid, in
which he states, if they elect him a Deputy to the
Cortes, he will take his seat as soon as his political
friends may judge it advisable. He attributes his
flight to the personal danger to which he was exposed,
and the threats publicly made against him. The
Government, it would appear, are determined to keep
the press in order, and not suffer even an advertise-
ment to be published without their permission. "No
species of advertisement," the Political Chief an-
nounces, " whether printed or in manuscript, can in
future be:distributed without my permission, with
the exception of play-bills, and those of other public
amusements."

The Madrid Gazette of the 17th publishes the fol-
lowing decree of the Finance Minister :
" 1. All persons indebted to the Treasury for overdue
contracts, may liberate themselves by paying 17 per
cent. in specie, and 83 per cent. in overdue coupons of
the home and foreign consolidated debts.
" 2. All persons having to pay purchases of national
property according to the new centralisation, may effect
their payments by giving 18 per cent. in specie, and 82
per cent. in bonds of the home and foreign debts as above.
" 3. Persons having payments to make to the Trea-
sury in discharge of engagements due, will be at liberty
to avail themselves of the above dispositions, provided
they do so before the Ist of next March."
The Three per Cents. were done at for cash,
26 7-16 at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 19i
at 60 days.

The discussion in the French Chamber on the ad-
dress, at the sitting of Monday, possesses considerable
interest, showing at the same time the hostility of
many Members to England, and the firm and frank
determination of M. GUIZOT to adhere to a policy
which he justly considers the safest and best for his
country. His speech, in reply to that of M. THIERS,
which we published on Wednesday, will be found in
another part of the paper. It is well worth perusal.
In adverting to the amendment of M. BILLAULT, re-
lative to the phrase " entente cordiale," the Journal
des Debats says, " The question whether the Cabinet
shall- continue to exist or not was distinctly and re-
solutely put in the sitting of yesterday. The
Minister of Foreign Affairs, driven to the point by
mean and petty cavils, came forward, and in clear
and direct terms called upon the Chamber to declare
categorically whether it wished to maintain or
destroy the work of pacification and reorganisa-
tioa to which the Ministry of October 29 had
r 9! ", Three years devoted all its mind, all its en-
deavours, all its influence. The majority replied, the
Ministry found it to be intact, faithful, and persever-
ing ; the same majority that for three years has given
its concurrence on every important, every solemn
occasion. This question was mooted three times
during the last session, not to go further back, and
every time it was resolved triumphantly for the
Ministry. Now, let the Opposition probe and dissect
at its leisure the pretended misunderstandings of the
Cabinet and the Conservative party ; let the Honour•
able M. DUPIN, whom we have great embarrassment
in classing, and who can safely assail all parties with-
out risk of wounding himself, dart out his wit And

' sarcasms upon the indissoluble union of the Ministry
and the Conservative party. Yes ! this union is close
and firm, much more indissoluble than others wish.
The majority of yesterday was one more unanswer-
able proof that, although itexercised upon occasions that
freedom which is the essence and honour of Parlia-
mentary government, it nevertheless is determined
to rally ana reunite whenever the fundamental policy,
and with it the existence, of the Cabinet is at stake.
It proved in a word that there-subsists between it and
the Ministry of October 29 an entente cordiale."
Notwithstanding an angry speech from that "ill-
conditioned " statesman M. DUPIN the elder, and great
excitement in the Chamber caused by his remarks on
the English alliance, the Ministry prevailed, and
M. BruAuvr's amendment was rejected by a majority
of 30, according to the Constitutionnel. The National
says it was only. 25. M. D UFAURE, and about
twenty Members of the left centre, declined to vote.
The Legitimatists voted for the amendment.
On Tuesday the discussion was resumed, when the
Indefatigable M. MI, LAULT proposed the following para-
graph relative to the right of search :—" This accord
cannot be complete and durable till such time as ne-
gotiations, conducted with perseverance, shall, by
continuing to repress an infamous traffic, have again
placed French vessels under the exclusive surveillance
of the national flag."
After a brief speech from M. Guizor, in which he
stated that his object was to place French commerce
under the protection of the national flag, M. BIL•
LAULT withdrew his amendment

The Funds showed a tendency to decline on Tues-
day, the Three per Cents. closing at 82f. 45c. ; and
the Fives at 124 f. 70c.
