Mr. OConnell and the other traversers have,
it will be seen picuded guilty to the fourteen first
counts Of the indictments which had been prefer
red against them Thus all speculation with re-
gard to the issue of the trial is at an end. The
traversers have, by their plea, tacitly admitted,
that Lord Anglesey was right and that they were
wrong. We suspect, from the way in which the
trial has gone of, that the whole is the result of
a compromise between the traversers and the Gov
eminent Agitation is, for the present, at an
end, and the yiceroy's triumph over Mr.. O'Con-

THE King VS.. OConneH and Others.
The Attorney General rose to move the Court
to appoint more distant day than Thursday next
for trial in this case? He was proceeding to state
the grounds OF his application, when he was inter
rupted by
Mr.. Perrin, who said that he had motion to
make. which would probably supersede the neces-
sity of the Attorney General proceeding. Che had
to apply for liberty to Withdraw the plea OF not
guiu as to the first fourteen counts OF the ndlct-
ments.
The Attorney General said on the part of the
Crown, he had no objection to the granting the
application. The consequence was, that he was
entitled 10 Judgment upon these counts: that. he
considered, would be sufficient for all the purpo-
ses If Justice. He should, therefore, enter noh
Droseqm upon the remaining counts, and he con-
graduated the Court and the country upon being
spared the agitation, labor and .iety that the
trials would have produced, ard he relied upon
the Court for the future maintenance OF the peace
of the country.
Extract from a priratc letter.
1t is supposed that the prosecutions will be
stopped. and Mr. 0'Connell talks of proceeding
forthwith for London. his is indeed signal
triumph for Lord Anglesey. As for my own part
| am perfectly convinced that the agitation is at
an end.
Extract from another private letter.
have only moment to say, that O'Conneli
and the other traversers have pleaded guilty to
the first fourteen counts in the indictments, and
there will be no trial.
No judgment will be pronounced, and he goes
to London.
Report states, that he has promised to give up
agitation; but this do not believe. All mode |
rate men rejoice in the result.
