EXPORTATION OF COALS SUSPENDFD.—M. Dillon,
the French Consul at Newcastle, has written to the Com-
missaire-General of Havre, to say, that, i i conseqnence
of the turnout of the colliers in the Noith of England
(Northumberland and Durham), there is every reason to
believe that, for the next month or five weeks,. all ex-

portation of coals from Nescastle-, Sunderland, Stockton,
Hartlepool, Seaham, and Blyth must be of necessity sus-
pended. M. Dillon prays him to communicate this fact
to the manufacturers of his arrondiisement.

PAPER-MAKING.—The Glocesler Journal says, " that
a most important patent has been taken out for the manu-
facture of paper on a new principle, and from an entirely
new material. If carried out to the full extent of the
wishes and expectations of the patentee (one of the first
engineers in the kingdom), there is little doubt that it
will shortly supersede the use of rags, as the paper made
from the new material will be quite equal to the finest
Indian paper, and not so costly."

THE DUBLIN TRIALS.

Yesterday (Monday) the. Solicitor General resumed his
address on the part of the crown, and was left speaking
when the mail was despatched from Dublin last night.
The learned gentleman commenced his arguments by re-
plying to the fourth ground of objection specified in Mr.
O'Connell's notice of motion, viz., that no evidence had
been given of any material or evident fact having taken
place within the venue laid in the indictment. He then
proceeded at great length to reply to the statements put
forth about what was termed the " fraudulent" suppres-
sion of names from the jury list, and went through the
objections of the traversers seriatim, and argued that
there was not the slightest reason for granting a new trial
on the grounds relied on.
