SIXTEEN DAYS LATER FROM
EUROPE.

Ola EEN ia - LAKE. FROM
EUROPE.
The steamer Acadia arrived at Bos-
ion on Wednesday, bringing dates six
teen days later.
Trinity Term opened on the 22d
May, and on Friday the cath, the case
of "The Queen against Daniel O'Con-
nell and others" having been called,
Mr.. Justice Perrin proceeded to de-
liver hisjudgment.
Mr.. O'Connell, accompanied by Mr.
Smith O'Brien, M. p, and by Mr..
Steele, entered the traversers' bar at
half past ten. All the barristers of the
outer bar' with the exception of COM
parativcly few, rose and greeted Mr.
O'Connell with loud and repeated
rounds of cheers, accompanied with
clapping of hands. This demonstra-
tion of reclamation continued for few
minutes.
At four o'clock, amid breathless anx-
iety, Mr.. Justice Burton, in an address
during which he shed tears, passed
SENTENCE ON THE TRAvERSERS!
DANIEL O'CONNELL.-To be
imprisoned for twelve calendar months;
TO pay fine Of &c, 900, and TO enter
into securities to keep the peace for
seven years; himself in $4,000, and
two surities of P2 500 each.
JOHN O'CoNNELL, J. GRAY, T.
STEELE. r. BARRETT, c. G. DUFFY,
and T. M. RAY, to be imprisoned for
nine calendar moths; TO pay a fine OF
ESQ, and to enter into securities to
keep the peace for seven years; them
selves respectively in 9I, 900, and two
surities Of $500 each.
Sentence having been passed,
Mr.. O'Connell Immediately rose,
and said that he wished TO remind the
Court, that he had made solemn af.-
davit, declaring that he had never en-
tered into a conspiracy with the other
traversers, or committed. the crime with
which he was charged. lie had now
only to say it was his painful convic-
ton that justice had not been done.
Sudden and vocilerous cheer from
nearly all parts of the court followed
this result; and although it was accom-
panied by the clappirg Of hands among
the junior bar, and was two or three
times repeated, the Judges did not in
terfcre, although evidently displeased.
The traversers Immediately surren-
dered themselves into the custody OF
the Sheriff.
After waiting about couple Of
hours, the prisoners were conveyed TO
the Richmond Penitentisry, in three
carriages. A large crowd, who greeted
Mr.. O'C. with cheers, met him al the
Penitentiary, and large body of re-
spectacle persons, many his most inti-
mate friends, stood in the court yard, in
two lines, and received him in silence
and uncovered.
Mr.. O'C. and his fellow, occupy
the Governors House, which is large
and airy, and has garden attached, in
which the prisoners were seen walk
ing, soon after their committal. Not
the slightest breach Of the peace oc-
CURED.
Mr.. orc. issued an address, in
which be pledges himself to bring an
appeal before the House. Of Lords, and
urges the people to be quiet. The
address, which is somewhat long,
contains nothing but rciterations OF
what O'ConneIl, himself, now calls
his "command"-to be quiet.
The cotton market continues in a
very depressed state. During the last
four weeks prices have received lad
per h.: ia that which terminated on
SATURDAY, the retrogression amounted
to more than 9TH. The continued pre-
vaIence OF easterly winds keeps the
vessels laden with the staple from ar
irving in great numbers, bot occasional
vessels do drop in. In this state Of
things, speculation is suspended; all
export has disappeared.
There is little news ofinterest beside
what we have given above; and none
of much importance.
