on the 19th instant ; prices were too high to meet the

had been 1800 bales of new received ; sales since then
amount to about 300 bales. Tha old was out of market;
a crop of 1200 bales, which has been held for some time,
was shipping for Li% erpool.

lary Term, which
would be a delay of about three months. This, lam in-
formed upon good authority, is not the case : the parties
cannot traverse in prox., but must (by stat. 60, Geo.
chap. 4) appear and plead in the Queen's Bench within
the first four days of term, which begins 2nd of Nov.,
and the trials will probably commence o❑ the 17th, or on
the 27th of November, the first sitting day after term ;
the latter day I think is the most likely to be selected, at
least if they are to be trials at bar, as in that ease the
court will be composed of all the judges of the Queen's
Bench, and great public inconvenience would be caused
by the entire court being occupied during term with the
state prosecutions to the exclusion of all other business.

A charge of wilful and corrupt perjury has been made
against Mr. Hughes, the government reporter, upon
whose informations, chiefly, the conspirators were held
to hail, because Mr. Richard Barrett was sworn by him
to have been, on the 9th of October, at the meeting at
Culvert's Tt,eatre and at the dinner on the same evening,
which Mr. Barrett offered to refute by the informations
of thirteen persons; and this attempt is followed up by a
fierce article in the Freeman's Journal, raking up allusions
to a hired informer of that name who figured about the
period of the rebellion of 1798, evidently for the purpose
of exciting a prejudice in the minds of those who will be
upon the jury. The motive, however, is too clear, as, if
Mr. Hugh,-s had really committed wilful perjury, or, as
probably will turn out to be the case, made a simple mis-
take, it would have been just as easy, and rather more
startling to the prosecution, for Mr. Barrett, when on his
trial, to disprove Hughes's testimony by the witnesses
whose informations he tendered, and then the jury would
be able to form an adequate opinion as to his general
accuracy or the contrary from the evidence; but the ob•
ject appears have been to excite, previous to the trial, a
prejudice ag•tinst Mr. Hughes, and an impression that he
is a hired informer, who is ready to swear up to the re-
quired mark, or else to deter him from coming forward
at all.

After the magistrate had heard several counsel in sup-
port of the appliration against Mr. Hughes, they decided

not to take the informations

An address from Mr. O'Connell appeared to-day, which
is full of exhortations to peace and order.
In the corporation, yesterday, Mr. O'Connell, instead
of the original notice of motion which he had given,

" To-submit to the consideration of the council
the insult offered to the Lord Mayor and to the
corporation, and the danger arising to the citizens at large
by means of the issuing of an illegal proclamation, and
by a total disregard of the Lord Mayor's undoubted
power and willingness to keep the peace within the city.' "
moved the following milk and water resolution :
'" That we deem the transmission of the proclamation
to the Lord Mayor about the hour of four o'clock on
Saturday, the 7th of October instant, to prevent a meet-
ing to be held on the next day, too late for the purposes
of due caution, and especially too late for him to warn the
citizens of Dublin of the impending peril.'"
which was carried by a majority of 38 to 9, despite of a
most able and sarcastic speech by Alderman Butt; the
discussion, however, shews that after all, the charges of
insult en..l illegality which the learned gentleman was to
have established, have deviated down to this; not that
what the Government did was illegal, and was an insult,
but that it ought to have been done long before, which is
just what almost every conservative journal in the king-
dom has been dinning into their ears for the last six
months ; in the meantime, in proportion as the agitators
find their hold upon the affections of the people vitally as-
sailed, so they redouble their efforts to excite. Notwith-
standing the trangail aspect of affairs, the military pre-
cautions which have been taken in order to prevent any
sudden outbreak, are not in the slightest degree relaxed.
In Limerick preparations are making for the reception
of 1000 additional men. Mr. Keith's stores at Mount
Kennett have been taken for their accommodation, and
one of the workhouses is about to be applied to a similar
purpose, and a considerable naval force will be assembled
in the Shannon, under the command of Captain Austin,
C.B.

Aldborough house, a spacious residence near the out-
skirts of Dublin, on the Clontarf road, is undergoing the
necessary alterations to enable it to accommodate troops,
and a lsrge building on Usher's Quay, nearly opposite to
the Four Courts, called Horne's Hotel, is, it is said, to
be converted to the same use. Large placards are posted
through the town, calling on all the outpensioners of Chel-
sea hospital in Dublin to attend on certain days next week
to be examined for the purpose of being embodied in local
companies, and all who shall not attend are warned that
if they do not satisfactorily account for their absence their
pensions will be stopped. Three half-pay officers have
been struck off the list for joining the repeal movement.
SUNDAY EVENING, OCT. 22.

Nothing of moment has transpired in the city during
the day. Two meetings were held to express confidence
in the liberator ; one of the post• office ward, and the other
of St. Patrick's, at which resolutions were adopted to ad-
dress the legislature on the rights of petition for the re-
dress of grievances, and also of Implicit reliance on the
dictates of the liberator. To-morrow the new grand Con-
ciliation Hall is to be opened ; the chair to be taken by
Augustus John O'Neill, Esq. of Bomowen Castle, re-
cently a convert to the Roman Catholic faith, and for-
merly Tory M.P. for Hull. If the proceedings should
prove interesting you may expect to hear from me by the
late mail to-morrow night, and at all events I shall send
you a sketch by the early mail.
