that the runlor which has been atiOut for some
DAYS, 10 the effect that the prosecutions were to
be abandoned, is not correct. The latest accounts
from ireland, state that the parties arc preparing
for their dclcncc-that Mr.. O'Connell wall defend

attendance of Sir Robert Peel, the Duke OF Wei
lineton, Lord Lyndhurst, and other distinguished
members OF the government as witnesses

CHARGE to the Grand Jury Of Dublin, was delivered
on the afternoon Of Thursday The genera! tone
is decidedly IN favor OF the charges which have
been preferred by the Government against Mr..
! O'Conncli and the rest Of the Repcalers, for
{" conspiracy aud other misdeneanors" AS
the Judge is what is termed " consttu-
,onal lawyer" the tone of his charge has some
what alarmed the Repeal party. At the time We
write, it IS not known whether the Grand jury
had found true bills against the parties, but not
the least doubt existed that they would do so, from
the fact-apart from other reasons-that the jury
is composed of eighteen Tories to six Liberals
and, with regard to the finding OF Grand jurles,
the majority rules the minority. But the strong
est rumor Of the day is, that traitors have made
their appearance in the Repeal camp, and that
some Of the members of the Association have Of
! cred to sell themselves to the Government, III
! order to ensure the conviction OF their fellows. .
his may or may not be true; butltls currently
reported N Dublin and generally beived Inc
announcement has had a startling effect on both
sides Of the Channel. Had the rumor merely ap-
piled to the members Of the Association, which
amount to $4,000 it would not have appeared so
bclonr to the committee or executive branch Of
the Repeal Association. In the event Of true
bills being found, the accused, SO volumlnous IS
the Indictment, will ask for time to plead, and
perhaps several days VIII clapse before the prose
cuions formally commence. The number OF
Government witnesses IN attendance onthe Grand
jury amount to thrty-five. 1t is further stated
| that the Government have additional evidence IN
the back ground, which will not be forthcoming
till the proper time. From the systematic ar
rangelnents OF the crown, 1t would appear that
although their crack Witness Mr.. Hughes, the
short hand writer may break down. or have hls
evidence seriously damaged, from the blundcr to
which we have adverted, yet, anticipating thls
thev arc prepared with other evidence sufficient
to sustain their case The next packet will, in
all probability, carry out the result OF the state
prosecutions.
Repeal Meetings have been held in different
wards of Dublin and resolutions passed III sup
port of Mr. O'Conne. At one of these, III the
! Post-office Ward, on Saturday, he gave an ex-
planalion respecting what he had SAID on the pre-
yous Monday about Federal Parliament:

that he had changed his mind the subject Of Rspeal 1t
