EFFECTS OF SEDITION

—There is no description of en-

gagement or of business, with the exception of gun-mak-
ing and pike-making, that is not affected by the rebellion

exciters. It has already been stated that even insurance
offices have taken the alarm, and as a proof of it we annex
a copy of a letter received by the agent of a respectable

STARTLING COINCIDENCES.—in the year 1795, Mr.
Pitt founded the Roman Catholic College of Maynooth,
for the purpose of putting an end to the rebellious feelings
of the Romish priests and people of this unhappy island.
In three years he reaped the fruits of this worldly policy
in the rebellion of 1798. Exactly fifty years after (1845),
Sir Robert Peel greatly enlarged the annual grant to
Maynooth. for the purpose of putting an end to the
rebellious feelings of the Romish priests and people, and
now in three years time, the people are arming themselves
for the rebellion of 1848, to teach the British govern-
ment, if they will learn by experience, the folly of sacri-
ficing truth and consistency at the shrine of political ex-
pediency.
HEARTLESS SEDUCTION. The Tyrone Constitution
states that Miss —, of Derry, a beautiful and fascinat-

8 years of age, eloped on Friday
'evening se'nnight, with Lieut. Wemys, of the 48th Regi-
ment, whose company had left Derry the day before, en
route to Dublin. The manner in which the elopement
was conducted appears to have been very disgraceful on
the part of the heartless seducer. At Ballygawley, the
mother of the unfortunate girl found her, with her de-
stroyer, at the hotel, and, says an Irish contemporary,
upbraided the epauletted ruffian with his villany in no
measured terms. He took the matter very coolly, how-
ever—remarked that it was difficult for officers to get rid of
the many girls who were laying snares for them—that he
bad informed the young lady he had no intention to marry
her—and that she might return with her mother if she
wished, but that he would not urge her to do so, as he
would take care of her if she would remain with him !

STATE PROSECU rioNs.—At the Court of Queen's Bench
on Wednesday, in the case of the Queen v. John Mitchell,
the Attorney-General stated that two several indictments
had been found against the traverser for seditious publica-
tions. Mr. Mitchel, to each of these indictments, has
filed dilatory pleas, to the effect that one of the grand
jury, Mr. Bowles, was a member of the Town Council, in
the city of Dublin, and the traverser made the usual affi-
davit to verify the pleas. So far as he (the Attorney
General) was concerned, he did not think there was any
