C. WATSON, 41 and 42, 'BARBICAN, and 16, NORTON-FOL-
GATE, aided by a person of science in the amalgamation of metals,
has succeeded in bringing to public notice the most beautiful article
ever yet offered ; possessing all the richness of Silver in appearanee
—with all its durability and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in
use--undergoing, as it does, a chemical process, by which all that is
nauseous in mixed metals is entirely extracted--resisting all acids—

his metal Is from all others ; on Its intrinsic merit alone he wishes it
to be tested, and from the daily increasing eulogiems he receives, he
Is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming an article of uni-
versal wear.

THE BOAST OF THE LAND.
Don't wonder, good reader I nor take it amiss,
That we choose such a dignified subject as this;
When once you are told of the trade tl at is done
At the wonderful Warehouse of MOSES and SON,
You'll readily say that a title less grand
Must ne'er be bestow'd on " the Boast of the Land."
Of all the fam'd houses in country and town,
Not one has attain'd such a matchless renown.
Our praise has been sounded by ev'ry one's mouth,
In the East and the West, and the North and the South.
Our tame, like's banner, is seen to expand,
Proclaimingtirthousands " the Boast of the Land,"
In beautiful costumes we've long borne the belle,"
For none can such elegant garments excel ;
In cut and in fashion, in cloth and in make,
This clothing has beauties which few can partake;
And firm will the excellent workmanship stand,
When garments are bought at "the Boast of the Lard."
'Tis this that has given to MOSES and SON,
Successes which no other houses have won.
'Tis that has gain'd them that matchless cennwti,
Which sounds like a trumpet in country and town. •
And 'tis that has gain'd them a title as grand, . •
As what they have chcsen, " the Boast of the Land."

much dejicted.
At five o'tkeelythree -carriages were driven into the yard

closed to -prevent the crowd from following them. In about
twenty Minutes afterwards -a- body of about twenty-five hor4
police entered, and took their places beside these vehicles:
Mr. O'Connell, attended by the Rev. Mr. Miley, of Marl-
borough-street chapel, stepped into thefirst coach, Mr. John
O'Connell, and the High Sheriff (Mr. Ball) also occupied it.
The second coach received four of the state.prisoners, Messrs.
Ray, Barrett, Duffy, and Dr. Gray; and in the third sat Mr.
Steele, with his attorney (Mr. horde) and his friend Mr.
Richard O'Gormah. The precession then mowed off at q
quick pace towards the South Circular-road Penitentiary
the prison selected by Mr. O'Connell himself some days agol
Mr. O'Connell had then secured some of the apartments of
the Governor of that prison for the period of his confinemen
In a short time afterwards the quay, and the neighbour
hood of the courts, presented the ordinary aspect—no crow
or excitement of any kind appearing there, or in any. othe
part of the city.
On arriving at the prison Mr. O'Connell and his friends
were received by a large party, among whom were Mr. Smith
O'Brien, M.P., Sir Coleman O'Loghlin, Mr. Christopher
Fitzsimon, and Mr. Cornelius Lyne, barrister.

The prison to which the repeal leaders have been consigned
is very spacious and salubrious. There are two extensive
gardens—one of which contains about three acres, well cul-
tivated and neatly laid out, to which they will have free ac-
cess
from an early hour in the morning to an advanced period
in the evening.
Mr. Purdon, the governor of the prison, is said to be an ex-1
cellent man.

THE IRISH STATE. TRIALS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF SATURDAY.

CHRONlCLE.—Yesterday the Lord Chancellor, after a
rather prolonged consultation with Sir James Graham, com-
municated to the judges who had assembled, we believe, to
arrange the Circuits, that it would be necessary to postpone
them, as their Lordships' assistance would be required in the
hearing of the writ of error, in the case of the Queen against
O'Connell and others. The argument will be heard"with the
least possible delay. It will be seen from our report of the
proceedings in the rish Court of Queen's Bench, that, in re-
fusing the application of Mr. Moore, that the sentence should
not be carried into effect until after the writ of error was
heard, the judges intimated' their regret that they had no
pdsVer to comply with their application. They all expressed
their sense of the very great hardship to which the traversers
would be subjected, should they be found to have a good case
in the writ of error, and yet have undergone a portion of the
punishment. Mr. Justice Burton, in delivering his opinion,
said, " He felt a considerable degree of anxiety about the
parties
wooia mbeigh a t
source be donoefwgreithatequal case. He concurred in opinion with the - Learned Chief-
Justice, that the motion could not be granted ; but he
theortuigesh somethinglt
justicetoto als
imind if the Court sentenced parties to imprisonment—that
uneasiness
lAthe punishment was inflicted—and that afterwards it would
be found that such sentence was illegal and improper."
lthough the account brought by our express stated that
Mr. O'Connell was in the custody of the Sheriff, yet we can-
not believe that the Crown will insist upon their right to
send him to gaol pending a writ of error. This would be the
!climax of their revengeful injustice.
, HERALD.—The curtain has at length dropped upon the
long and tedious drama of the Irish State Trials. On Thurs-
day the conspirators, hunted through all their shifts and
doublings, received the
judgment of the Court : Mr. O'Connell
to be imprisoned for twelve months, to pay a fine of 2,000/.,
and to give security in 10,0001 to keep the peace for seven
years ; the six 'remaining traversers to be each imprisoned
for nine months, each to pay a fine of • 50/. and to give
security in 2,000/. to keep the peace. The delivering of the
judgment caused some shouting, in which a few Roman Ca-
tholic members of the junior bar disgracefully distinguished
themselves; but the scene has been, we are assured, prodi-
giously exaggerated, in order to produce an effect in this
pountry. The majority of the reporters in Dublin are, in,
fact, Repealers, by whatever journals they may be em-
ployed ; because, without a supposed bias to the party of the
seditious, they could hardly have access to the Association
Meetings, the great scene of their labours. l arit of the
contrivance to cheat and alarm the Parliamo,,, a false
notion of his power, O'Connell was pefelli ' a long
21
b,
pacific address to the Irish people at "the very mo-
ment when the Romanist barristers were rehearsing
the scene which the Repealer reporters were to mag-
nify, in order to excite, if not the reality, the semblance
at least of that disaffection from which the old in-
cendiary was pretending to dissuade. To pass by all these
paltry frauds, however, let us congratulate our, fellow-sub-
jects that the law has been at length honourably vindicated
—that the insolent defiers of the authority of. the law have
been exposed in their weakness and their falsehood—and
that, for the first time in her history, Ireland has seen . the
Royal authority asserted by the ordinary constitutional
Means. As to the penalties imposed upon the convicted con-
spirators, they are, in all the instances, light compared with
the practice in similar cases, but with respect to Mr. O'Con-
nell ridiculously light, in respect to his crimes ; neVertheless,
the judgments are, in our estimate, heavy enough ; so dis-
proportionately heavy as to , six of the parties, compared
with the great offender, that one could almost wish those
sTx mare lightly pliiiisltd, Climbs to mark the difference
between them and their chief. Surely, if the misled son,
the enthusiast Mn , Duffy, poor Mr. Steele, or the other
three, deserve- Ads: Mao months of imprisonment, nine
years were tau-Vttle if& the veteran incendiary who
deceived them, and millions beside them, with his pre-
tended knowledgceof-liw; and his unceasing falsehood spoken
and written. ItaieteerV' true that many considerations justify
a shorter impristaitheilt of Mr. O'Connell than his crimes
would seem to Warrant. The man is old—a year- more or
less, which to a young man seems little, is to an old man an
important section of his life. Again, lie is 7 uined as a public
man. Could he be let loose to-morrow without creating a
stispicion that he owed his freedom to the fears of the Go-
vernment, he might be let loose under proper recognisances
without the least danger of mischief. In the third place,
even he has reason to complain, if not of the cheat of the
Whigs who pettedaad feted him while pursuing the course
that has consigned him to a dungeon, at least of the cheats
of Fortune, who has deprived him of the protection of his
Whig accomplices and servants. Looking to the whole
matter, we own that we should not wish a day added to his
imprisonment, or a shilling to his fine—and with respect to
-the others, we certainly. shall not grieve if the Crown find a
pretext for a little relaxing their sentence. But in the hands
of the Irish Attorney-General, a man as'gentle in his nature
as he is energetical and firm, they are perfectly safe.
POST.—This sentence we believe no man, who is not pre-
judiced by party feelings, will consider excessive. With
respect to the prisoners themselves it cannot be denied that
their punishment is a fit retribution for the course they have
so pertinaciously pursued. The effect of the sentence upon
the public mind is, however, the most important view to be
taken of it. It must convince the misguided ptople of Ire-
land that there is a power in the law stronger than that
which Mr. O'Connell has arrogated to himself during a long
series of years. It must show to the imitators and parasites
of the agitator that the passions of the ignorant are not to be
inflamed, the Constitution threatened, nor the public peace
endangered with impunity. It must give assurance to the
loyal and well-disposed that the Government of the country,
though long suffering to an extent that furnished good ground
for apprehension. has not forgotten that it has its duties as well
as its rights. Before the Court had pronounced its sentence we
abstained from saying a word that could excite any preju-
dice against the prisoners. Now, however, when their fate is
known, we may venture- to call attention—as proof of the
animus of the principal conspirator—to his conduct after the
sentence was paised. This old man's reverence for the law
was exhibited in his deliberate assertion to the judges that
justice had not been done to him. Assuredly, if ever a man
had all the advantages which the forms of law can give, that
man is Mr. O'Connell t be was found guilty, after a trial of
unusual length, by a jury remarkable for its patient attention
to the evidence ; he was assisted by the highest legal talent;
every technical objection urged on his behalf was discussed
without let or hindrance ; and he now receives a sentence far
more.lenient.than it was in the power Of the Court to inflict.
)(3t he complains of injustice. If he could still mix in society

here,.he would find the universal opinion to that he has
been too indulgently treated.

ADVERTISER.—The drama which has been so long per-
forming in 'Dublin has at length reached its close. The end
is appalling. Mr. O'Connell was sentenced on Thursday
afternoon to twelve months' imprisonment, a fine of 2,0001.,
and to find sureties to the extent of 10,000/ to keep the peace
for seven years! The scene which took place in the Court of
Queen's Bench immediately before and subsequent to the
passing of the frightfully severe sentence on Mr. O'Connell
has never, we believe, bad its parallel in any court of law.
In anticipation of the sentence which was in reserve for Mr.
O'Connell, the whole of the counsel in a crowded Court rose
and. received him with a loud burst of applause the moment
he presTted hintselL So unexpected and remarkable a
demonstration of the feelings of the bar, is said to have made,
as it could not fail to make, a deep impressiOn on Mr. O'Con-
nell. When sentence was pronounced, he leaned over the
bar, and said, in a most significant • and impressive
tone :—" I think it right to remind the Court, that in
Consequencii of some of the remarks which have been
made,. .1 and all the other traversers have made solemn
affidavits, in, which we deny that we entered into any
vile conspiracy ; and with great deference to the
Court, I am under the painful conviction that justice
has not been done to us." All present seemed to respond to
the truth of the observation, that justice had not been done
to Mr. O'Connell. That feeling is not limited to the Courts
of Dublin; it. is not confined to Ireland. It pervades the
entire country from one extremity to the other. Twelve
months' imprisonment looks, we hesitate not to say, very like
the result of vindictiveness somewhere. A year's incarcera-
tion to a man of Mr. O'Connell's, full habit of body, and at
his advanced age, is equal to three times the term in the
case of persons of hardy constitution, who have not passed
the prime of life.- •But apart from the personal view of the
question as affecting Mr. O'Connell, the country will be
astounded at the amount of sureties required for his after-
wards keeping the peace, and at the period for which he is
to be bound over to keep the peace. We have no right, and
certainly we have no disposition, to arraign the purity with
which justice is administered in the Courts of Dublin, or
anywhere else; but it were useless an disguise the fact, that
the, universal, impression in London is—and that impres-
sion. will be universal throughout the kingdom—that a
political purpose is sought to be served by the pecuniary part
of the sentence. The enormous sum of 10,0001., as a secu-
rity that Mr. O'Connell will keep the peace ! And for the
period of seven years, too! We question if any civilised
country, in modern times, could furnish an instance of an
equally severe sentence being passed on a political offender.
People will say—whether rightly or not is not for us to de-
cide—that the object sought to be accomplished by exacting
these heavy sureties, and binding him over to keep the peace
for so protracted a period, is not only to crush the repeal agi-
tation, but to shut Mr. O'Connell's mouth 'for ever. But we
are afraid to trust ourselves in the expression of all that we
feel on this affair. The whole matter must be fully discussed
in Parliament, where a latitude of expiession is allowed
which we journalists dare not employ. We shall be greatly
in error if Sir R. Peel do not, ere long, discover that this ter-
mination of the State prosecutions is tire most untoward
affair that has yet happened to his Ministry. It will not
surprise us much should the event prove, that in instituting
these prosecutions, he constructed a wall against which to
dash his Government in pieces. In the meantime, if the
public peace in Ireland be preserved, when the appalling sen-
tence becomes generally known in that country, the Premier
will have Mr. O'Connell, not himself, to thank for it.

TIMES—At last sentence is pronounced on Mr. O'Connell
: and his friends, and in substance it is not probably very
much beside what the world expected. If there is any fault
to be found with the judgment, it is with the expediency of
a fine: It is a punishment, not of the arch-criminal, but of
his dupes. It cannot be for a moment supposed that Mr.
O'Connell will pay the 2,0001. Whether by a special
subscription or by an increased " rent," it will, of course be
levied by the priesthood on the peasantry. Plectuntur
Achivi—the repealers will pay for it with an interest of cent.
per cent. We prefer a penalty which is " not transferrable."
Whatever is to be borne, let the person of the delinquent bear
it ; and if any allege the somewhat ignoble expediency of at
tacking the Association through its purse, we answer that
those think more meanly than we do of the enthusiasm
of the Irish peasantry who believe that a delusion, ill-
grounded and _unchristian, but too really national,
can be drawn out'of them with their shillings and pence, or
that they can be starved into anything but a still more un-
mitigable animosity. So much for the sentence itself, which
is an important reality. Some of its circumstances, how-
ever, are rather absurd. High among these rank Mr. O'Con-
nell's proclamation and Mr. Justice Burton's tears. Mr.
O'Connell's game is clear enough, and has been so for some
time. 'Clever manceuvrers are apt to be fond of the profit-
able position of mediator—they like to have it established
that none but themselves can moderate their party—to per-
suade the world that they alone stand between it and con-
fusion—that they alone are responsible for no consequences—
that through. their agency all concessions must be negotiated
—and that to their management (though chargeable with
none of the punishable excesses of their party) is to be re-
ferred the credit of any season or symptom of forbearance. Of
this convenient position Mr. O'Connell, with an effron-'
tery only surpassed by the , prince of mediators, our old
enemy, Akbar Khan, has shown • himself very ambitious,
ever:since.the defiance which he hurled at the English Go-
vernment has been met by a military occupation of his
country, a suppression of his seditious meetings, and a pi o-
secution of himself and his co-ringleaders. But his anxiety
rather outruns his judgment. He is in too great a hurry to
be magnified. Mr. O'Connell is but a private gentleman,
Meinber of a constitutional Parliament, and enjoying remark-
able popularity with his countrymen, but not yet a Czar of
Russia; and, under such circumstances, number one may be
too broadly obtruded on the world—nay, even on our own most
devoted adherents. Now, we are unfeignedly glad that it
still suits Mr. O'Connell's purpose to be pacific. We hail,
las we are bound to do, every symptom of tranquil-
; lity, however transitory. But any increased confi-
dence or gratitude towards that gentleman we cannot pro-
' fess, for we cannot feel it. And, therefore, when we read
that "the venerable Judge (Burton) was unable to proceed
for a few moments, evidently overcome by his emotions,
which affected him even to tears," we must own the most
absolute want of sympathy with his transport. It is wholly,
out of place—totally uncalled fbi liy" the severity of punish-
ment, the circumstances of the crirag, or the character of the
person punished. Judges should abie made of less melting
stuff. There is a mean in such matters, though neither Judge
Burton nor Chief Justice Pennefather have succeeded in hit-
ting it. We will frankly avow, ,that if that mean is to be
transgressed, we prefer the honest indiscretion of the Chief
Justice to the perhaps not less honest timidity of his colleague.
It is scarcely charged that either have done more or less
,than substantial justice to the culprit ; and that being the
Case, we prefer the zealous man who risks his own character,
to the weak or apprehensive judge who saves it whole by
coquetting with the criminal.

I THE HAY HARVEST.—The hay harvest has par-
tially commenced in this neighbourhood. The crops, how-
ever, are extremely scanty, with comparatively bare stems
And deficient tinder-grass. The want of rain, and the long
Continuance of cold winds, have occasioned a very deficient
growth in every direction, particularly upon the higher and
more exposed descriptions of soil ; and it is probable that the
price of hay will, in consequence, be considerably enhanced.

ROBBERY OF A BANKER'S. PARCEL.—On Thursday
last, a person of respectable appearance, about 50 years of
tige, who gave his name as James Richards, but refused to
give any particular account of himself, was examined before
a Bench of Magistrates, at the George Inn, Luton, Bedford-
shire, on a charge of being concerned in stealing a banker's
parcel, containing 1,7001. in notes, and bills of exchange to
the amount of 2,000 L, in the month of September last.
It appears that? on the 25th of September last, a parcel,
containing tapLabove property, was intrusted to Wood,
the Bedford boman, to be delivered at the banking-house
df Sir Charles Price and Co., King William-street, City, and
after the coach had reached town it disappeared in some
mysterious manner. Advertisements were inserted in the
eewspapers at the time, offering a handsome reward to any
person who would give such information as might lead to the
immediate recovery of the parcel ; but no one had, it appears,
been tempted by the offer. Nor does there appear to have been
anything heard of its valuable contents until yesterday week.
Qn that day the prisoner made his appearance at Luton, and
just as the shops there were about to be closed he made small
purchases from three different tradesmen, and changed a 51.
note at each. By a strange coincidence, each of these shop-
keepers happened to go to smoke his pipe on the same night
at the same inn, and one of them hippening to mention in the
course of conversation that a .respectable-looking man, who
appeared to be a stranger in the town, had entered his shop
just as it was about .to be closed, and exchanged a 51. note
for a pair of stockings he had purchased from his wife; the
other two shopkeepers present inquired the description of the
person, and on hearing it said'it was equally singular that the
same individual had purchased a pound of tea from each of
them at a late hour on the same evening, and got change of
a 51. note from each of them. This excited considerable sus-
picion, and the result was that the prisoner was sought after
and takenl into custody. On being searched, 60/. in notes and
checks were foUnd upon him; and it was discovered that, on
the same evening, he had managed to change five 5L notes at
different shops-in the town, and all these, as well as three
other Si. notes found upon him, were proved to have formed
a portion of the contents of the parcel stolen in September
last. He underwent a private examination before the magis-
trates on Saturday and on Monday, and a public one on
Thursday, when Mr. Robinson, the solicitor, of Hatton-
garden, attended on his behalf. The gentlemen belonging
to the banking-house of Messrs. Sharpies, Exton, and Lucas,
by whom the parcel had been forwarded, were in attendance,
but the evidence was not gone into at any length, when Mr.
Robinson requested that his client might be remanded for a
few days longer, which was assented to. It is not a little
singular, that, since the apprehension of the prisoner, two
51. notes, which also farmed a portion of the stolen parcel,
have been passed at Luton.
CORONER'S INQUEST. INFLUENCE OF PUBLIC
EXECUTIONS.—On Friday afternoon Mr. Carter, Coroner for
Surrey, held an inquest at the Hero of Waterloo Inn, Water-
loo-road, on the body of Edward Norris, aged forty years.
It appeared by the evidence that deceased had formerly been
a publican, but for the last few weeks had occasionally lodged
at a beer-shop in the Cornwall road, during which time he
had conducted himselfrather strangely. On Monday morning
he returned home, and said to a person who slept with him,
that he had been to see Crouch hung at Newgate, and con-
sidered it was such a beautiful sight that he was quite de-
lighted. He also said that himself and two men had drunk
twenty half-pints of gin, and that he had drank six half-
pints as his share. Deceased remained in doors all that and
the following day ; and about twelve o'clock on Tuesday
night ho went to bed. He was then quite sober. But at
seven on the following morning he was discovered in the
skittle-ground, in the rear of the house, suspended from one
of the rafters, by a rope. He was cut down, blit he had been
dead some hours. Some other evidence was gone into to
show the state of bis Mind for some time past, when the jury,
returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity."

SP/RI T of the PUBLIC JOURNAS.

FROM 7ME EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY.

GLOBE.—Mr. O'Connell and his co-defendants have
been conveyed to prison with the precautions requis:tass
to prevent any disturbance of the public peace. The
Judges expressed their regret that the law invests them
with no discretion, by which they could suspend the exe-
cotion of the sentence until after the writ of error had
been argued and determined by the. House of Lords.
Whether the Executive will interfere, and direct the re-
lease of the parties thus subjected to punishment on a con-
viction which may, and probably will, be reversed, remains
to be seen. Judging from what has already taken place,
there seems little hope that the Government will inter-
f;re to•prevent the admitted imperfection of the law from
-working injustice to these political opponents. Such in-
terference would imply the presence of a generous feel-
ing, of which there has been no indication in any pre-
vious part of the prodeedings. In pronouncing the sen-
tence of the Court, Mr. Justice' Burton admitted the
inconsistency of subjecting the defendants to the pe-
nalty, while the legal validity of the proceedings was
the subject of an appeal to the higher tribunal ; and
threw out something like a hint that " something might
yet be done" to prevent so monstrous an anomaly.
rhe public will not readily forget the grounds of
Lord Lyndhurst's opposition to Lord Campbell's mea-
sure for effecting a change in the law on this subject. It
'was designed to meet the exigencies of the present case.
But *tune the proposed Bill was designed by Lord
Campbell to prevent the perpetrationgeof injustiee upon
O'Connell, therefore it was to be postponed to a future
time 1 Rattier than O'Connell should not be incarce-
rated—even on a judgment which may be found
unsustainable in law—an admitted injustice shall
be continued ! We take it for granted that Lord Lynd-
hurst has no personal feeling in the matter. He
would not so far forget what he owes to himself and
to his order, as to allow any paltry animosities to rankle
in his breast when discharging his duties as a legis-
lator. As Lord Chancellor, and a member of the Go-
vernment which prosecuted, O'Connell, his Lordship
was, of course, actuated by the feeling and guided by
the judgment of his colleagues. It •would be most
mortifying if O'Connell, whom they had employed
so much pains tcr- fix, and sacrificed so much
in reputation to convict, should, after all, escape.
Better imprison him wrongfully than not at all.
The amount of punishment awarded by the Court is, in
our view, inordinately severe. This would be our judg-
ment—we believe it is the opinion of nine-tenths
of the community in this country, without reference to
political distinctions—had the Court which pronounced
the sentence made no observations on the character and
conduct of the principal defendant on its floor. But
when we read in Mr. Justice Burton's address, such ad-
missions of the pacific disposition of Mr. O'Connell—
that throughout the whole course of the proceedings of
which he was the director and the leader, as head of
the association for obtaining a repeal of the legislative
union, there was exhibited a never-ceasing anxiety and an
incessant effort to preserve the peace—an anxiety and effort
which had been so eminently successful, as that no
single instance of disturbance had taken place at, or
had resulted from, one of the numerous monster
meetings which had been held. With these distinct
admissions—with these testimonials to Mr. O'Con-
nell's regard for the preservation of peace and order,
from the mouth of the Judge who nes the medium by
which the sentence fixed and determined by the Court
was conveyed—we feel warranted in saying that the
conclusion is not sustained by the premises. The con-
duct which was thus commended ought to have been cast
into the balance, and weighed in favour of the indivi-
dual, when called up for judgment. An apology for vi-
siting the misdeeds of Mr. O'Connell with a moderate
amount of punishment, was made out by the Judge.
Why enumerate the merits—for such they were desig-
nated by Mr Justice Burton—of the chief defendant, at
the moment when a sentence—taken, in all its parts, of
unprecedented severity—for misdemeanour was about
to be pronounced ? But we shall,. perhaps, be told
that but for the mitigating circumstances dwelt upon
by the Judge, the punishment would have been much
heavier. The sentence is mild and merciful. Gracious
Heaven ! If this be mercy, what, then, is vengeance ?
STANDARD.—We yesterday announced the con-
clusion of the last act of the State trials, in the passing
of judgment upon the conspirators. There was a scene
got up upon the occasion, by the repeal members of the
bar, which the reporters did not fail to heighten in their
representation of it ; but which evidently affords no fair
index to the popular feeling, for no sooner were the
traversers securely lodged in the hands of the high
sheriff than the excited sympathy chilled down to in-
difference. Eight months ago, when the proceed-
ings • now so usefully concluded were commenced,
we avowed our opinion that there was nothing
vindictive in the prosecution—nothing vindictive even in
the favourable sense which is understood when the laws
are said to be vindicated by the punishment of crimes.
We have all along considered the trial as merely the
trial of an issue upon a question of constitutional right,
which had been made necessary by the dangerous abuse
of a right assumed contrary to law. Mr. O'Connell had
again and again " defied the Government to go to
law with him, as he defied the Government to go
to war with him ;" and it became, in consequence
of this reiterated defiance, necessary to take up his
challenge. The Government has taken it up, and the
result proves that the challenge to go to law was as ab-
surd a piece of rhodomontade as the challenge to go to
war. This view of the question, however, putting the
prosecution upon a footing similar to an indictment for
a nuisance, iu which a civil remedy for a public injury
is really the object of a formally criminal process, while
it certainly renders less excusable the excessive indul-
gence allowed by the Court during the progress of the
tedious trial, fully justifies the great lenity of the
sentence. All that the Government or the
country can wish, all that justly they can
require, after the long license given to sedition
in Ireland, is to put an end to seditious agitation •, and
the lowest degree of punishment that can reasonably be
expected to effect that object is the most just. Now the
punishment imposed seems to be sufficient, though in
the case of Mr. O'Connell no more than sufficient ; for
less than a year's imprisonment for his " monster"
offences, or than a month's income of his rent, would be
realiy playing with the law, and would, by his ignorant
followers, be set down to fear of his and their power.
It is very true that a year's imprisonment is not a very
heavy punishment. It is far less than the " savage
operation" of our commercial law has hitherto inflicted
upon many an innocent man, and many a helpless
woman, innocent of every crime, and incarcerated
without trial by the command of a greedy or a spiteful
creditor. Mr. O'Connell is to suffer for destroying the
peace of his country, and perilling the safety of the em-
pire, but one-third of what Mr. Nailer has suffered
for having too faithfully served his employer's interests
—too honestly declined to serve his prejudices or
passions. To measure the weight of the blow in-
flicted upon Mr. O'Connell by the mere duration of
his imprisonment, or the amount of his fine were, how-
ever, toy apply a fallacious test. The blow to him is
fatal, as the assertion of authority of the law must always
be fatal to those who construct their schemes of life
upon the hypothesis that the law may be permanently
violated with impunity. The keepers of gaming
tables at Epsom have been ruined by a measure
certainly not vindictively directed against them in-
dividually, but necessary for the public good ;
and just in the same way Mr. O'Connell has
been ruined. The destruction of his agitation trade,
and his agitation rent, which after a short interval
must follow the fate of his trade, is his real pe-
nalty (though not designed as such), and the twelve
months imprisonment and 2,0001. fine are an inconsider-
able, though, under the circumstances, an indispensable
aggravation. How far Mr. O'Connell, or the disap-
pointed " thimble-riggers" at Epsom, may be entitled to
public sympathy, is a question which men will decide ac-
cording to their view of the guilt or innocence of embark-
mg in a speculation contrary to law and injurious to their
fellow-citizens. For ourselves, we have little compas-
sion for any one who is merely excluded from the oppor-
tunity of
.profitable crimes. If men will embark their
interests in projects denounced by the law,
and hostile
to the peace, happiness, and morality of the country,
they must not expect compassion when they make ship-
wreck.

AMOUNT OF " SALT" COLLECTED AT THE ETQN
MONTEM.—The precise amount of " salt" collected at the
Eton Montem, on Tuesday last, and which has been in-
vested in the names of thefather of theCaptain(Drake,K.S.)
and the Rev. Dr Hawtrey, the head-master of Eton School,
is 1,3384 Is. Bd., being upwards of 100/. more than was col-
lected in 1841. This .is the largest contribution ever before
received at this triennial festival, with the exception of the
" salt" collected at the Montem which was honoured with the
presence of the allied sovereigns upon their visit to this
country in 1814. The sum then received amounted, we un-
derstood, to about 1,5001. After the whole expenses which
were incurred by the captain on and previously to Tuesday
last have been defrayed, the elem., receipt will amount to
about 7001. '
