STRUCTIVE HURRICANE IN THE WEST
INDIES.
I(il3t,lithe 21st and 22d ult. the islands of Antigua, St.
Nevis, and St. Thomas, were with a severe
Pa;'ea," ; i
' t commenced in Antiguavisited on the 21st, at half-
eleven, a.m. and ended at half-past 1, a.m. of the
isla,,',the fall of barometers on the north side of the
side including St. John's, was six. tenths ;on the south
eigh'L° which the damage was chiefly confined, it was
?hill tenths. The damage done in the parishes of St.
bee St. Mary's, and St. Paul's, was supposed to have
of fBgreater in extent than caused by the great hurricane
de n„'• In St. Mary's scarcely a house escaped the
th:7'athig influence of the storm. A vast number of
inhabitants were rendered houseless and destitute ; 70
Apeople sound accommodation in the cellar belonging to
t Parsonage, the upper part having been blown away.
4.Elother party of 120 were receiving temporary shelter in
e
't" schoolroom belonging to the Moravian establishment
Alph?ld-road. The parish churches of St. Mary's and St.
All were unroofed, and the chapels of St. Barnabas and
at s?,a_ipts totally destroyed. _ The damage to the buildings
6 “uleV and English Harbour was very severe. The
barracks at Middle Ground, with the exception of one
,-41, were completely blown down. The estimated da-
7age to the military buildings alone was from £20,000 to
-"45,000. At the dockyard the capstan housewas destroyed ;
at the dicers' quarters one half of the roof and gallery
Rag blown over the other half. The north part of the
and St. John's, escaped with comparatively trifling
damage ; but at the roadstead, the ship Denison, belong-
"lg to Messrs. Shands. of Liverpool, was compelled to
strike her topmasts, and afterwards to cut them and the
It;ging away, and thus escaped total loss. The hurricane
l'eared to be of very little breadth, having missed the
Island of Bermuda on the north, and Monserrat on the
south, but continued its
course to St. Kitts and Nevis ; in
tvh_eehaTbour of the former island a barque was dismasted.
h Yve st India steamers Medway and Eagle rode out the
hurricane at St. Thomas's, by dropping two anchors be-
sides their usual moorings. A French ship of 350 tots
Was wrecked—crew saved. A number of lives are stated
I 2 have been lost in Antigua, Nevis, St. Kitts, and St.
[homes, from accidents occurring during this frightful
visitation.
In the island of St. Kitts all the estates were more or
Nured. The church in Basseterre received much
sii.m,,age, and a great many of the negro cottages were de-
-1.40-,;,ed. The barque Benjamin Green, Captain Laws, of
tva-re, was dismasted. A schooner from St. Martins
at 4,iost, with all hands on board; several small craft sank
a,,llleir anchors, and several lives were lost both on the
:er and on shore. The Rosebud, Captain Harrison,
4... in the anchorage, and the whole of the crew peTished.
smart shock of an earthquake was felt at St. Kitts on
ill
morning of the 27th of August, but it did no damage
pie or property.
opNassau torn up
weather had prevailed. Numbers
trees were torn up by the roots, houses unroofed, and a
treat deal of damage done to the island. Minute guns
b,,er,e, heard to the northward on the night of the 22d, and
the 23d thirty sail of wreckers got under weigh to look
01,t for vessels in the various channels that had gone on
cre. Tht: Royal Mail steamer Severn experienced very
heavy Weather in the Gulf of Florida.

INDIA AND CHINA.
I,:tY‘7e have received by express from Marseilles our usual
thers and papers in anticipation of the overland mail.
dates of these advices are, Calcutta, August 7th,
etabaY, August sth, Madras, August 12th, and Hong
July 25th.
The intelligence brought by this arrival with respect to
e state of affairs in Moolton continues to be of the most
te,a,uraging kine. Lieutenant Edwardes and his gallant
vi;ners in arms, Lieutenant Lake and General Cort-
-4,1'1, in conjunction with the Sikh forces under the
4 P4ll Emamoodeen, had been attacked, on the Ist of
foI.IY, at the village of Sadoosam by the whole available
I„,cepf Dewan Moolraj. A smart action ensued, which
upwaras of six hours, and resulted, like that of the
y" ,of June, in the total discomfiture of the Mooltanees.
;;°„?'"ai commanded in person, and sustained the action
.' considerable bravery until a cannonball struck the
a?,Wdah of his elephant and prostrated him in the dust,
et' which mishap he escaped on a horse into the city of
i4ooltan, under the walls of which the village of Sadoosam
tal tituated. His 'followers soon followed the example of
*V' chief, and were hotly pursued by the British forces,
of .kii.°nly relinquished their attack on reaching the gates
vi:',,,ooltan. Four guns were captured on this occasion,
It:114105s to the British of only 18 killed and 70 wounded.
Yeit4i."3B that this second great success, at a season of the
nicnihwilen Indian troops are supposed to be incapable of
at t"g has at last opened the eyes of those in authority
aiimallOre, and that they have actually made up their
fi,s to send a strong force to support Lieut. Edwardes.
the vrue united forces of Edwardes, Cortlandt, and our ally
f o,.",awau, were by the last advices encamped not far
alooltban, but were unable to commence operations
tgalllst the fort owing to a want of artillery. A requisi-
tab' I°r a siege train was forwarded to the Resident at
-?re and by him transmitted to Calcutta, where ,a
'leeLal. 'council was held, as was generally believed, for the
p sl.P°se of deciding on the request. What were the pre-
b4deliberations of the supreme conclave was not known;
its „ la the meantime a force had commenced march to
re assistance of Edwardes, consisting of about 500 artil-
tejY, 1500 cavalry, 1500 European, and 3000 native infan-
LaYh This force suffered very severely on its march from
°re. Two native soldiers implicated in the late con-
trlraeY had been hanged. In none of the adjoining coun-
'3 had there been the slightest disposition to revolt.
the SIONARY CALAMITIES.—We regret to learn from
have Pub papers that Dr. Bettlehehn and his family
they
all been murdered at the catal of Loo Choo, where
CO: were residing. Dr. Bettleheim, who went to Loo
Dro °.uncler the auspices of the Bishop of London, who
of stalsed, we believe, to ordain him after a specified term
hunervice in the Loo Choo mission, was a native of
*as rY, -was originally of the Jewish persuasion, and
uc,ted for the surgical profession. He afterwards
1071sillentiously joined the Church of England. He was a
half ilinan of much talent. The disastrous fate which
zw_s...,en -
upon them is said to have visited the Romish
add Thnaries also. To this mournful catalogue we may
. tican at D ames and his wife—the n Ame-
chi_ attached) as medical man to the Baptist emission in
ken",,a,Nvere both lost by shipwreck within sight of
6 lung.

AMERICA.
The Britannia steam-ship arrived at Liverpool early on
Wednesday morning. The Niagara, with the outward
mails, arrived at New York on the 31st ultimo, and her
intelligence cau-zed an immediate advance in the price of
bread stuffs. The weather for all the growing crops con-
filmed to be very fine, and nothing has yet occurred to
render a full cotton crop doubtful. The Irish agitation
has entirely ceased. The Money Market at New York
was easy. Sterling Exchanges; 9to 91- • Treasury Notes,
1031. From Canada we learn that the three leaders of
the repeal party had been arrested for stealing cannon-
ball from the barracks.
The Americans were in a state of great excitement on
the subject of the presidential election. General Cass
arpears to have little chance of success now that there are
so many candidateg to divide the votes. The anti-slavery
party (the Whigs), with Mr. Daniel Webster at their
head, are strongly opposed to General Taylor, who is a
slave-holder, and whom, though an excellent army
officer, they do not deem a suitable person to fill the
highest political office in the state. Mr. Van Buren is the
Whig candidate.
The New York papers received by the Britannia state
that the supply of the Croton Water has been reduced
one-half, and add that " the hydrants are kept closed, the
fountains are not permitted to play, and at a season of the
year when most wanted, we find that our aqueduct, reser-
voirs, and drains, built at an expense of fifteen millions of
dollars, fail to afford the means of cleansing the city."
From a Montreal paper, it appears that four of the men
with the expedition in search of Sir John Franklin lost
their way in a snow storm and perished.
The great Mormon Tample, at Nauvoo, has been pur-
chased for a Protestant College.

FRANCE.
The Paris election is over. The successful candidates
are Louis Napoleon, Raspail, and Foulde. Louis Napo-
leon is already returned for L'Orme, La Charente, La
Moselle, and L'Yonne. M. Raspail, who is a Socialist, is
at present ii prison at Vincennes, for aiding in a con,pi-
racy to overthrow the National Assembly on the 15th of
May. The moderate Republicans, composing the Parlia-
mentary Club, have waited upon General Cavaignac. with
an assurance of their support against all Socialis's, Bona-
partists, or any other class of hostile politicians. M.
Marrast has been re-elected President of the Assembly for
another month.
The Paris papers of Thursday contain further additions
to the returns of the late elections for Paris. Prince Louis
Napoleon had received 116,014 votes, M. Fould 80,193,
and the Socialist, M. Raspail, 67.852. The other two
Red candidates, MM. Thore and Cabet, received respec-
tively 65,650 and 65,460 votes, thus bearing out the asser-
tion of Prince Louis's friends, on Wednesday,
.that his
election was in no respect due to the Communists and So-
cialists, who displayed on this occasion an unanimity
" worthy of a better cause."
Paris remains in a state of tranquillity. Rumours of
a change of ministry are becoming daily more general,
though what better ministry can be formed out of the ma-
terials, the press forbears to say. The election of Prince
Louis has been officially announced. The greatest enthu-
siasm was manifested by the populace, and the shouts of
" vive Napoleon" rent the air. A public triumphal entry
of Louis into Paris is amongst the on dits of the hour.
General Cavaignac is at his wits end. He is cruelly em-
barrassed by negociations with deputations from the diffe-
rent parties, which keeps the public mind in a state of
feverish agitation.
MORE FETES FOR THE PARISIANS.—The report from
the Comite de Comptabilite, on the proposition relative
to the indemnity to the President of the Nationai As-
sembly has been distributed to the members. The com-
mittee recommends that a supplementary sum of 6,000 f.
a month should be allowed to the President, in order to
enable him to give grand fetes, which, like those already
given, encourage trade, and are important in a political
point of view, by enabling men of all parties to meet,
and by showing that calm and security exist.
PROPOSED PANTHEISTIC IDOL AT PARIS.—A scheme
has lately been put forth at Paris for converting the Pan-
theon, agreeably to its name, into an idol temple, in which
all religions are to be combined. An artist of the name of
Chevanard has been entrusted with the execution of it by
M. Ledru Rollin.

The foreign correspondence received in Paris on Satur-
day announces that the offer of mediation between the
Sicilians and the Neapolitan Government made by the
British and French Admirals has been accepted, and that
the neutiality of Venice has been recognized by the Aus-

trian Government.
The Dowager Queen of Naples, mother of the reigning
Monarch, died at Naples, on the 11th ins*.
On the 31st ult. Ibrahim Pacha was installed by the
Sultan, Viceroy of Egypt, in the room of his father, Me-
hemet Ali, the mental faculties of the latter having ren-
dered him for some time past incapable of discharging the
,high and responsible duties connected with that office.
The Schleswig Holstein armistice has been accepted by
the Frankfort parliament on the 16th, after a sitting of
11 hours, and by a majority of 21—thus rescinding the
motion agreed to by the same wise legislators on the sth
inst., which went to reject the before named truce. Upon
that decision the ministers resigned their functions, and
the Administrator of the Empire has not yet been able to
find statesmen, able cr willing, to supply their room.
No SCARCITY OF FOOD.—It is estimated that the
harvest of the United States this season is sufficient to
feed half the people on the globe abundantly.: With
scarcely an exception, every species of grain, fruit, and
vegetable, is yielding throughout the country an extra-
ordinary crop. Of beef, pork, butter, cheese, &c., the
same plenty abounds, and while our population are secure
of every comfort and luxury in the way of food, we shall
have a surplus sufficient to meet all the famine that may
occur in the Old World.—New York Sun.
A most horrinfe auu revunnig mut-riciae nas-oee-torea-
in Lisbon. A young girl of 20 murdered her mother,
decapitated her, and cut the arms and legs from the
body. Tile various parts were found in different streets ;
but the head could not be discovered till the house was
searched, when it was found concealed near the girl, who
was cooking some provisions. The lover of the girl was
supposed to have been implicated in the murder, but she
resolutely refused to denounce him.
News from St. Petersburgh states that an emeute which
at first looked threatening, broke out among the poorer
population, who bad become desperate on finding the
cholera re-appearing among them, and who had got up
the cry that the diet was in a conspiracy to poison them.
Large assemblages were collecteu, and the troops were
ordered out. Barricades were raised, and just before the
melee was about to commence, the Emperor appeared,
and, having dismounted from his horse, took his standing
on the first barricade, and assured the people that the
chastisement was of God's infletion, and must be submit-
ted to with resignation. This had the desired effect; the
people were satisfied.
HORRIBLE ASSASSINATION.—Mr. Robert Whitlock
Nicholl, eldest son of Whitlock Nicholl, Esq., Adams-
down, near Cardiff, was assassinated at Naples, on Sun-
day tlight, the 27th of August, under circumstances of
brutal ferocity. A party of young men had assembled to
see two officers to their ship, and whilst so doing stopped
on the Quay to have some oysters. A dispute arose
about the payment of them ; that, however, was settled,
but on proceding further, Mr. Jesslp, assistant-surgeon,
was pelted with glass bottles tand stabbed, but is now in a
fair way of recovery. Mr. Nicholl was still more the vic-
tim of these revengeful savages, having been stabbed in
the back, which caused his death almost immediately.
The murderer is in custody.
Some very disgusting horrors appear to have been per-
petrated at the taking of Messina by the Neapolitan army.
An eye-witness describes the war as not one of Christians,
but a desperate struggle of cannibals. The insurgents of
Messina, it is said, roasted Neapolitan soldiers and ate
them: about sixty prisoners thus served to gratify the
beastly appetites of the cannibals of Messina. Our con-
temporary the Standard makes a curious use of this fact.
" The Lmstrygones," says our contemporary, "have ra-
ther improved in their taste for human flesh since Homer's
time, for we find in the Tenth Odyssey that these old
Sicilians ate their game raw, whereas. Pope Pius's spiritual
subjects cool( their meat. Oh, the humanising and civil-
ising spirit of Rornanism !"
FRANKFORT.—A monster meeting was held on the
17th, at which resolutions denouncing as traitors the
members of the majority of the German Parliament who
had voted in favour of ratifying the Danish armistice
were agreed to, and the members themselves were called
upon to resign their seats. The language used by the
speakers was of the most inflammatory character, and
those present were to re-assemble the next morning. On
the 18th they again met and proceeded to acts of open
insurrection. Troops were called in, and, after a severe
conflict, they succeeded in dispersing the insurgents. We
regret to find that Major Von Auerswald (a brother of
the ex-premier of Prussia), and Prince Linchnowsky—
both members of parliament—were shot by the insur-
gents. A bullet entered the back of Major Auerswald's
head, coming out above his right eye; another struck the
young Prince through the body. The first dropped from
his horse almost senseless, the latter was pulled from his,
and both were most cruelly beaten. The old Major soon
breathed his last— the Prince was left in the dust, with
both his arms hacked by a hatchet. He was carried,
when the account was sent off, to a hospital, where he
was reported to be still alive, but in a desperate state.
There were some officers and 18 or 20 men killed of the
Prussian or other soldiers, and 60 wounded. Of the in-
surgents about 27 killed.
GALLICIA.—A most horrible crime has been committed
at Lemberg. All the family of the rabbi of that city have
been poisoned. For some time past a bad feeling has
existed between the Israelites of the ancient faith and
those of the reformed creed. The government had given
to the whole commune one rabbi, at the wish of the re-
formed Jews. This was vehemently opposed by those of
the ancient faith ; the two sects became more and more
alienated, and the Jews of the ancient faith also demand-
ed a rabbi of their creed. A few days after this event they,
commenced a violent attack upon the Rabbi Cohen, en-
tered his house, and insulted him in the open street, and
then the plan was conceived of getting rid of him altoge-
ther. A Jew, who had gone into the kitchen, threw a
large dose of arsenic into a pot. After dinner the whole
family and domestics, in all nine persons, fell ill. Medi-
cal aid was instantly procured, but the rabbi and one of
he children, at the date of the latest accounts, were al-
ready dead, and little hope was entertained of the others.
Several suspected Jews had been taken and confronted
with the servant, who, however, had not been able to
identify them.
THE " WIZARD OF TIIE NORTH " IN JENNY LIND'S
NATIVE CITY (STocKnot,m).—Mr. Anderson has re-
cently astonished and delighted the inhabitants of Stock-
holm, including royalty itself. He gives an interesting
account of some of his feats with the " Jenny Lind'
handkerchiefs, a few dozens of which he took with him
from England for the purposes of his profession. In per-
forming at Stockholm, he changed ordinary handkerchiefs
into these fine specimens in silk until his stock became
nearly exhausted, such was the eagerness to obtain them ;
and he was obliged to announce that he had no more.

THE L

The Queen herself sent for him, received him most gra-
ciously, anti expressed a wish to have one. He said they
were all gone; but her Majesty said that " from what she
had heard of him, he could no doubt easily produce one."
He approached her Maj:'sty, and requested permission to
look at the handkerchief she held in her hand. This fa-
vour was no sooner granted than in a moment—" change"
—her Majesty's handkerchief turned to a veritable Jenny
Lind naisluk. Her Majesty and her court were asto-
nished. A few days before he lett the city he was called
upon by an old lady, who carried a small basket, and was
of humble garb, but highly prepossessing appearance.
She asked him, after kindly salutation, if he had a Jenny
Lind handkerchief to dispOse of. He made the previous
reply. The lady seemed much disappointed, and said he
had seen one of the handkerchiefs, and had come to pur-
chase a portrait of her dear daughter,—for this was the
mother of the songstress. He knew he had one still left,
and having said he had none, how was he to get over the
difficulty. He said he would see if there was one left,
and, after a few minutes' absence, returned and asked the
old lady to look into her basket. She did so, and to her
great astonishment discovered a beautiful silk Jenny Lind
naisduk. The parent of the illustrious Swede gazed on
the portrait of her daughter with delight, and, after
thanking him profusely, proffered money for the article,
which Mr. Anderson accepted, but only to astonish her
the more; for when she got home she not only found the
handkerchief in her basket, but the money she had paid
for it also.

IRELAND.
The following paragraph appeared in our second edition
on Tuesday last :-
CLONMEL, SUNDAY EVENING.—The excitement caused
here by the recent outbreak of the insurgents, has in a
great measure subsided, in consequence of the arrival
yesterday of the intelligence that the rebel camp had
been broken up. The insurgents, it appears, finding
themselves not well supported by the other counties, and
pressed so closely by the troops, a considerable number
of them have dispersed, it is thought, by command of
their rebel leaders, until some more favourable op-
portunity : the leaders themselves have as yet contrived
to escape the vigorous pursuit made for them. Doheny,
it is rumoured, is in the county of Tipperary, not very far
from Clonmel; and a person suspected to be O'Mahoney
was very nearly captured in the county Waterford, a few
miles from Carrick, on Friday morning. Mr. Coulson,
R.M., with a military and police force, was scouring
the country that night, when early on Friday morning a
horseman was descried some distance off, riding away at
a furious pace; Mr. Coulson immediately ordered the
Dragoons to give chase, which they did, and gained on
:Jim considerably, when he dismounted, made for the
mountains close by, and by that means escaped for the
present : his horse was taken, and proved to be one
which the insurgents had taken from William V. Stuart,
Esq., the High Sheriff of the county Kilkenny ; from
pistols, &c., found on the horse, it is conjectured that
the rider was O'Mabony. It was reported here on Friday
evening that some marines, who had ascended the Suir in
gun-boats, for the purpose of practising. had been at-
tacked on that day by the insurgents, and compelled to
fire cannon at them. I cannot describe to you the alarm
this town was thrown into on receipt of the intelligence.
On Saturday night, O'Mahony had another extraordi-
nary escape from arrest. Mr. Coulson. magistrate, re-
ceived information that he was at his own house, and
might easily be secured ; he therefore set out with a
party of military and arrived just in time to find that the
bird had flown. O'Mahony had scouts on the 'oak out,
and learned of the approach of the troops in sufficient
time to jump on his horse and dash off towards the
river Suir, which he crossed, and left his pursuers on the
other side.
The Clonmel Chronicle denies, " on authority," that
the Premier has received a summons to attend the special
commission as a witness.
The property in the residences of Smith O'Brien, at
Cahermoyle, and of Doheny, at Cashel, is in charge of
bailiffs under Exchequer writs.
A new rebel newspaper is to be published in Dublin, on
the second Saturday in October, with the title of " The
National."
A Dublin paper makes the somewhat Irish announce-
ment, that the " Disturbed" districts remain in a " con-
tinued state of peace."
Not the smallest excitement is shown by the public at
Clonmel about the trials—not so much even as during
an ordinary assize.
The Clonrnel Chronicle still insists that Mr. Darcey
M'Gee, late sub-editor of the Nation, was in the county
of Waterford mountains during the late disturbances, and
led the attack on the Portlaw police-barracks.
A design to carry off the Marchioness of Waterford and
to hold her as an hostage, with the intention of destroying
her, should any of the rebels suffer death, has been pre-
vented by the vigilance of the Marquis.
Preparations are making at Knocklofty, the seat of the
Earl of Donoughmore, three or four miles from Clonmel,
for the reception of Lord John Russell. who, it appears,
is certainly to be examined as a witness at the special
commission.
Mr. John O'Connell. by way of currying favour with his
quondam allies, has addressed an officious letter to Lord
Clerendon, asking his lordship whether, when "he de-
nounced as criminal the efforts of repeaters," his excel-
lency meant to refer to him.
THE ROTARY PARLIAMENTS lIUMBUG.—Lord Clan-
carty has written in reply to Lord W. Fitzgereld's circu-
lar. His lordship considers the proposed plan impractic-
able, and even if practicable, not calculated to produce
the objects sought for. At the same time he appears to
approve of the new agitation.
OPPOSITION TO THE PAYMENT OF RENTS.—At day-
break on Sunday week, about four hundred men, many of

down and carried off by nine o clock the produce of seven
acres of land. Port Robert is near Ballineen, beyond
Bandon, and close to a police-station.
Mr. Doheny, the Irish rebel, has arrived in Paris. He
landed at Boulogne ;Ater many hair-breadth escapes, and
seems to be heartily rejoiced that he has avoided the fate
of some of his fellow-conspirators. Mr. Doheny regards
the cause of repeal as hopeless, at least for the present,
and grounds his flight on the conviction that further re-
sistance was useless.
A NEW-FASHIONED GRIDIRON.—A person who went
into a wood at Coolmanuck, Clonmel, the other day, ob-
served a party of rebels enjoying their mutton in the fol-
lowing manner :—they had taken a sheep, and removing
an iron gate from its hinges, laid it flat upon a fire. On
this novel gridiron they placed the carcase, which they
had dressed and cut in two, and, as soon as it was done,
enjoyed their repast.
THE ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE BYRNE, THE POLICE-
MAN.—On Thursday, Byrne, the policeman, who was
stabbed in George's-street, on the 26th of July last, by
three Clubbists, attended at the head police-office, Dub-
lin, to identify the prisoners. The three men were
brought to the office along with about a dozen others, and
without any hesitation he pointed out Michael Moran as
the person who stabbed him, and John Joseph Moran,
and M'Cormick, as his companions on the occasion of
that outrage.
COLD-BLOODED MURDER.—On Monday, as three
young men were returning from a funeral, they happened
to go into a house of entertainment at Roskelton, to drink
some coffee. There they met with a man named Wright,
who has been teaching school and catechism in the church
of Roskelton during the last six months. Some jokes
were passed on Wright by a rival lover concerning a
sweetheart, when he drew a large penknife and plunged it
into the intestines of his rival, a man of the name of
Mullowney, whic'a caused instant death. Mullowney had
borne an excellent character, and was only twenty-one
years of age. The murderer has been committed.
THE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD.—SOMB few weeks ago,
when insurrectionary symptoms first manifested them-
selves, the Marquis of Waterford convened his tenantry
and labourers. A crowd of ill-disposed fellows also
gathered about him, and made several demonstrations of
dissent from his lordship's statements about the immensely
superior force which England would bring against the re-
bels. One fellow was remarkably forward, full of bluster,
and cried out,—" We don't care—we are able for them—
we are ready to fight them—wait till we get at them."
The noble marquis pointed at the noisy boaster, and said,
—" Come here, sir ; you want a fight—stand out and have
a round with me—let us see what you are made of, who
want to be at the troops; come, sir, try your hand with
me." The fellow dropped his head and skulked away.
amid the derision of the spectators. It is hardly neces-
sary to add, that the circumstance was not without a good
effect on the spectators.

THE STATE TRIALS.
On Thursday the special commission was opened at
Clonmel. The judges on the bench were, the Chief Jus-
tice of the Common Pleas, the Chief Justice of the
Queen's Bench, and Mr. Justice Moore.
The grand panel of the county of Tipperary being read
over, and a grand jury being sworn in. Lord Suirdale as
foreman, Chief Justice Blackburn addressed them at great
length. He expressed his great regret that after so short
a period as that which had elapsed since the labours of the
commission over which he had presided, her Majesty
should have found it necessary to issue another for the
preservation of the peace. He regretted still more that
the crime which they had now to try was one of high
treason. His lordship proceeded to explain in what this
crime consisted, and to detail to the grand jury the history
of the seditious agitation against the crown and govern-
ment, which had commenced with inflammatory speeches
in Dublin, and had been consummated by the rising of
armed men in Tipperary. the raising of barricades against
her Majesl y's troops, and the offering of warlike impedi-
ments to her Majesty's servants, when in pursuit of cer-
tain persons against whom warrants had been issued.
His lordship referred especially to the conflicts, which will
be remembered, between the insurgents and parties of
policemen. The rules with respect to high treason were
stated to be these: to convict of the charge of "compassing
the death of the Queen," it was only necessary to prove an
attempt to depose the " sovereign" from the government
and possession either of the whole or part of the dominions.
And, entering into measures with fmeigneys or others for
the purpose of invasion, or going to a foreign country, or
proposing to go there for that end, or taking steps thereto,
are overt acts, for the compassing or imagining of the
qneen's death ; and again, many offences falling under
the statute may be brought within the particular offences
alluded to. Levying war, and conspiracy to levy war,
are overt acts within this branch of the statute—that is,
the branch which makes compassing the king's death
high treason. The crime of high treason consisted alto-
gether in the intention. Proof of the commission of
overt acts would be required,. and that proof must be
given by not less than two witnesses. " And the law
with respect to high treason, which consists in the inten-
tion, makes it requisite for the crown to specify in the
indictment the overt acts or acts done, and the means
used by the person charged for the purpose of effecting
his object or design. Accordingly the indictment which
