principally from Wilmer & Smiths
European Times of 10Th ult.
The sentence of Daniel O'Connell
has been postponed until the next term.
Meanwhile, he is actively engaged in
pushing forward his favorite move
ment.
There has been a change in the
Spanish Ministry.
The Revolution in Italy wears a
threatening aspect.
The proposed annexation of Texas
to the United States attracts the at
tention of European Governments
The English ministry have resolved to
oppose i if they can.
The French Government has reced-
ed from its determination toabolish sla-
very in all colonies Immediately. 4
system Of instruction and gradual C.
Emancipation is proposed instead.
The U. S. Treaty with Texas was
mooted in the House of Lords, on
Thursday night, by Lord Brougham,
who is, of course, strongly averse to
. it, arising out of the slavery question.
Lord Ashburton spoke guardedly, but
both of the speakers emphatically de-
MED having ever contemplated, in con-
nexion with this question, the least in
terlerence with the institutions Of the
u. States. :
Frighgul Conspiracy al Damascus.
The Mannheim Journal quotes letter
from Constantinople of the sOth u't.
stating that conspiracy for the mas.
sacre of the turks, and the Establish
mentofa native Government, had been
discovered at Demascus. More than
GOO Arabs Of the best families are said
to have been in the plot.
The WEATHER AND THE CRops.-
The continued dry weather is begin
ming to have an unfavorable effect
on the growing crops.
The losses by the great fire at Ham,
burgh have jurst been correctly ascer-
tanned to be equal TO about f9,8sO,OOO

The IRISH STATE TRIALs.-The le-
gal arguments which had occupied the
whole week on the motion for Il new
trial, in the case of O'Connell and his
colleagues, closed in the Dublin Court
of Queens Bench, on Saturday even
ing last, with powerful speech on be-
half of the crown from the Irish Attor-
ney General.
Mr.. Whiteside then rose, and claim
ed the right OF reply, on the part of the
traverscrs, on account of entirely new
matter introduced by the Attorney
General, contrary to arrangement.
On Monday, not syllable was said
on the the subject either by the judg-
es or the counsel on one side or the
other.
The Attorney General decidedly
objected, but the court, speaking thro'
Judge Burton, announced that they
would consider the matter, and decide
the point on Monday morning.
On Tusday, about twelve O'Clock,
the judges, who had been two hours in
consultation, entered the court wearing
the appearance ofmen who had been a
engaged in very earnest discussion.-
All the law officers of the crown, with t
some of the counsel for the defence, b
and two of the traversers, Messrs. a
Steele and Tierney were present. AZ Il
ter short pause, the Lord Chief JUS t
tice, addressing the Attorney General, d
said: "Mr. Attorney, | am sorry to tell IL
you that the court find that they can
not give judgment in the case until the
next term" 'sThe case," of course,
was understood TO mean that of eThe !;
Queen v. OConnell and Others" The o
Attorney General dropped into his seat, e
and in few moments the court was a
comparatively empty. C
The ready facility Of the judges has
has had the natural effect of inviting
further dilatory experiments; vari- C
ance IL appears has been discovered n
between the verdict as returned by the P
jury and the entry of it upon the pos C
tea. This is matter which, in West v
Hall, would not occupy five Il
minutes. The error, if error there be. L
is the error of the officer of the court, il
which Lord Denman would order, as
a matter Of course, to be amended up
on single suggestion; the heavens
only know how many months delay. 0
and how many thick octave volumes I
Of speeches, the crotchet may give oc- b
casion in Dublin. b
The Dublin evening mail states that a
the judges are unanimous in declining
to grant the motion for a new trial Of
the the Repealers, with the exception
Of the Rev. Mr.. Tierney, and that Mr.. {
Justice Champion stands alone, and up n
an some minor point, with respect TO n
