FURTHER EXTRACTS FROM 70
REIGN PAPERS.
O'CONNELL'S APPEAL.


The public are anxously waiting the re-
suito the State prisoners appeal to the
House oil Lords on the writ OF error. To
the Judges who were present, and who, at
me termination Of the proceeding, we're
oollged to leave for their respective cir
cults, number Of queries, involving The
technical points of the appeal, have been
submitted by the Lotd Chancellor, and
judgment will be given when their decis-
ION has been received. In the mean time,
II is believed that the counsel for O'Con-
nell and the other traversers have picked
out so many and such fatal flaws in the
monster Indictment" and the trial foun-
ded on it, that il cannot sustain the convc-
ton.
Indeed, the Lord Chancellor admitted
that the jury list was :, fruutaicnay made
up = an admission which will be turned
10 good account hereafter, whatever may
be The result Of the appeal. 1t will be
seen, by reference 10 a statement mads at
the Repeal Association on Monday last,
by Mr.. O'Connell, jr., that his father had
no hopes that the appeal TO the House of
Lords would be successful.
THE SLAVE TRADE.
The subject of tho Slave Trude was
brought before the House Of Commons on
Tuesday last, by Lord Palmerston. This
is one of his Iordships favorJe hobbies,
and on this occasion he rode it at great
length. The speech, which depicted the
horrors Of the traffic in terms e!oquently
pathetic, touched upon the treaty with the
five powers, which was on the eve Of com
pletion when Lord Palmers on's govern.
mcnt went out Of office in 1871. This
portion of the speech we have given at
length, as it developes the policy by which
that government would have been guided
towards the United States on this question,
had it remained in office. Sir Robert Peel
is just as much opposed to the Slave Trade
as his antagonist, only he Dies not go the
"whole hog for its suppression. The
speeches Of The two leaders were clever
specimens Of PARTY warfare lord Pal
merston's, perhaps, the more eloquent
PccTs the more practical OF the two.

but RaPealers and said that much as he
revcrenced O'ConneIl, he cnyied him for
nothing SO much as his present position.

mending all classes OF lrishman 10 meet

ireland, on til, 30th Of each succeeding

mately be changed for that of "Uatedl
