ers on the charge OF conspiracy against the Govern
ment

IRELAN
The trial of Daniel o Connc and other of the
most prominent OF the Irish Repeaers has been ter
minated. On the 10 ulGimo, after long and able
address 10 the Jury by the Lord Chief Justice, the
case was given the Jury al haf past clock; p.
NJ. AT haIfpast ii o'clock the Jury re drned into
court with veract for the Governments 1. was
objected TO by Judge Champion on the ground OF
intormallty, aad the jury were directed to return
and correct 1t. This was on Saturday night and
on Monday morning, the 18th, an amended verdict
was returned against all the rayersers except the
Rev. MIR. Tierney.
The excitement in ireland, produced by the return
OF thi3 verdict OF gaitty is represented of the
most intense character. Before the arrival of the
Dublin Mail in the different towns, it was surroua
ded by immense crowds OF people, eagerly pressing
forward 10 ascertain the truth. The Liverpool
Mercury OF the 10Th ul,imo says;
Ii is foolishly imagined by some that
the traversefs wll not be called up for
judgment; this opinion is, in the opinion OF
welI-infermed persons, totally at variance
with what will occur. II is to be hoped
tina. tho peace Of the country viii be pre-
served, which is rery doubtful"
The sentences have been deferred TO the
next term--but il is very doubtful whether
my punishment will be inflicted. The
Belfas! Northern Wing says;
awe learn, Of what We consider good
authority, that tho Duke Of Wellington is
determined that Mr.. O'Connrll shall not
be sent 10 prison, believing that the moral
OBJECT Of conviction will be sufficient, and
tho, punishment would be useless piece
Of severity. If Mr.. O'Conncll will only
conduct himself with moderation and ordi-
nary propriety, we do not think that he
vii! DO sen. 10 jail; and we shall certainly
be glad if matters take this turn"
Mr. O'Connel! meanwhile has protested
against the verdict Of the jury as arbitrary
and unconstitutional; and has declared that,
as soon as sentence shall have been passed,
hs Will have the matter Submitted 10 he
whole body Of judges in Ireland, and that,
if their decision should be unfavorable lie
will appeal to the House of Lords before
no will submit. After the trial he appear.
cd in his seat in Parliament, and made
very forcible and temperate speech on tue
sublect Of the state of ireland.
Large quantities Of arms and ammuni-
ton were continued to be sent 10 different
garrison towns in ireland, as if the Govern
meni expected an outbreak; and two arm
ed steamers were cruising on the coast of
Kerry. Tho meetings Of the repeal asso-
Citations continued, at which matters con-
nected with the trials were fully discussed,
II the propriotors Of newspapers who had
been members of the Repeal Association
have withdrawn from that body, in conse.
Quenco OF the doctrine asserted by the ver-
dict on the State, trial that every member
OF the Repeal Association was responsible
for oil the publications OF tho newspapers
whose propretors were members Of that
association.
II is said tina, the Orangemen, who dis
solved, or pretended to dissoIe their ins,i-
tutions in 1884 are determined, now that
their friends are once more in power, 10
throw off the mask. A meeting was held
At Colarain on the 18th ultimo, attended
by the representatives Of 10000 Orange
mon in Antrim and Derry.
