McLEop's TRiAL.-Mr. O'Connell, al
the close of an interesting Repeal Meeting
at Dublin, took tho following view of the
Mcleod question -

them what they escaped from-They were dear
ly and sincerely attached to their beloved little
Queen, and it would be most painful to them to
see her involved by her ministers in war in
which the heart of her loyal Irish people could
not go with her.-They would not, OF course,
disobey the law but they would have, shrunk
from engaging in war against 0Hr warm
hearted sympathizng friends of America cloud
and enthusiastic cheoring) Tine Americans
had the best of the contest which was now con.
cluded ; the honest American pride had been
gratlfied by the result and his hope of peace
rested on this, that the American nation had
vindicated its own honor-had vindcated the
law of the land against a supposed murderer,

bottom of the steamer Enterprise, the horn ola saw
fish was found to have penetrated the copper (23
and the bottom planks. just above the bge keel in a
latcrnal dire ton, and then to have broken short oil,
remaining IN the bottom, and acting as n stop gang
against the admission of water. The copper appears
t. have been completely shattered by the force ofthe
thrust and there is very little doubt that leak would
have been established had not the horn come in con
tact with stout piece of timber inside the planking
and then broken Oft at about b or inches from the
point The piece of horn, and part of the timber in
which 1t remains have been taken of the vessel
bottom, and sent to the Governor General, who, we
dare say, will send it to the Asa,c Soc ety. TO be pa
