day morning, with London dates to
the Sd inst and Liverpool to the 4th,
Her advices arc nineteen days later
and important
The trial Of O'Connell and associates
for Conspiracy had been seventeen
days in progress, with no decisive de-
velopments. The infamous fabrica-
ton Of Catholic conspiracy for gen.
eral and simultaneous rising and mas
sacre Of the Protestants, are efectually
exploded. Though intensely excited,
Ireland was never moretranquil. The
Grown has prosecuted its design Of
procuring conviction Of the Repeal
champions at all events, by striking
from the panel Of Jurors the name
Of erery Catholic! Our advices are
to Saturday the Sd inst. O'Connell
was to open his defence on the follow
ing Monday.
Parliament convened on tho 3lst
ult., and the Queens Speech was de-
livered--as fla. and pointless as ever.
All it amounts to is declaration that
the Uuion with ireland must be pre-
served inviolate. In the debate upon
it, Sir Robert Peel declared that he
should oppose any farther change in
the Corn-Laws, and especially the
overthrow Of the Sliding Scale--a dec
laration which is received with gener-
al satisfaction by the Agricultural in
terest.
American Provisions are doing fair
ly in England, Beefexcepted. Cheese
and Pork do well.
There is nothing Of much account
from the Continent They had been
for two weeks debating the French
Kings Speech in the Chamber Of Dep
uties, and making little progress. The
Legitimists were severely censured
for their visit to the Duke Of Bour-
doux in England. Berger defended
them with his accustomed eloquence.
India is much disquieted, especially
in the Northwest. British power is
steadily extending its sway. The
Punjaub has been absorbed in the l.. l..
Company's possession, and Scinde is
destined TO share its fate.
Sir Francis Burdett, so long an ultra
Radical, at last . sturdy Conservative,
died in London on the esd, aged rs.
The doctors say he was devotee Of
the Water Cure and overdid il in his
own case BY keeping himsclfincessant-
ly bandaged with we, cloths.
IRELANp.-THE STATE TRIALs.--
Wilmer & Smiths European Times
comes to Us in double sheet contain
ing a detailed account ofthe State Tri-
ais going on in Dublin. They consti,
tu,e the absorbing topic at present on
both sides ofthe channel. The stri-
king of the special jury 70 try the
cause has arrayed all the Catholics Of
Ireland who were not previously Re.
pealers against the Government.
Tie striking of of the eleven Ro-
man Catholics mentioned in our last
advices was such an open act OF inJus-
lice, that those even who had stood
aloof from Repeal were filed with in
dignation and signed a requisilion call
ing an aggregate meeting Of the Ca'ho-
lies. Sixty-Gvc barristers were a.
mong the signers Of whom but three
were Rcpealers.
