IRELAND.
The trial of Mr.. O'Connell and others
have been CONCLUDED, and each of the Trav-
ersers has been found guilty, but the sentenc-
es have been deferred until next term. In
the mean time Mr.. O'Connell has made his
way up to London and taken his place in the
House of Commons.
Some incline to the belief that no punish
ment will be inflicted, and that the moral eff
feet will. on that account be greater torture
than the Government, in instituting the
prosecutions, did so, not so much with the in-
tention of punishment, as to try the legality
of the Repeal Meeting and having succeeded
in obtaining a verdict are content to pass
over what has already occurred, being in a
position to stop at once any further proceed
incs. Others contend that the conduct of
O'Connell during the next few months will
determine the question of punishment-that
if mild and subdued in his tone, no further
notice will be taken of the matter. But all
these opinions are merely speculative.
In the meantime Mr.. O'Connel has, on be-
half of himself and his companions, protested
against the verdict, and has intimated that so
soon as sentence shall have passed, he will
have the matter submitted to the whole body
Of Judges in Ireland, and that if their decision
should be unfavorable, he will appeal TO the
House of Lords, before he will submit. If
we might hazard an opinion, we should say,
that he will be spared the troube-for in our
opinion, no punishment will be inlicted-and
particularly if matters should progress as
quietly as they have done since the concuss-
ion Of the trial-for the whole country, which
was in state Of the utmost excitement be-
fore, is now as calm as an unrufiled lake. The
trial lasted tlreRty-fre days!
Mr.. O'CounelI. We learn, on what we
consider good authority, that the Duke of
Wellington is determined that Mr.. O'Con-
nell shall not be sent TO prison, believing that
