GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
From the N. Y. American.
LATER FROM ENGLAND.
ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA.

ne DritlSh MAI! steamer Carcinoma
arrived IN Boston yesterday, in sixteen
days and half from Liverpool, she hav-
ing left that port on the afternoon of
Tuesday, March 5th. The Britannia
arrived out on the 18th ult, and the
English papers were profuse in their
compliments of the enterprise Of the
Bostonans in cutting her out. The
Caledonia brings 81 passengers, viz: AZ
from Liverpool, and Is from Halifax.
IRELAND. Tile STATE Iriats.- The
trial Of Daniel O'Connell and other of
the most prominent of the Irish Repeal
ers, has been terminated. On the 10th
ult, after long and able address to the
jury by the Lord Chief Justice, the case
was given to the jury at half pa t 5
o clock, p. NJ. At half past / | o'clock
the jury returned into court with YER
dict for the government. 1t was object
ed to by Judge Champion, on the ground
Of informally, and the jury were direct
ed to return and correct it. This was
on Saturday night; on Monday morn.
ing, the 18th, the amended verdict was
returned.
The excitement in Ireland, produced
by the return of this verdict of gully, is
represented as of the most intense char
acter. Before the arrival of the Dub
lin mail in the different towns, it was
surrounded by immense crowds of peo-
pie, largely pressing forward to ascer
tain the truth. The Liverpool Mercury
of the 10th ult., says: " 1t is foolishiy
imagined by some, that the travorsers
will not be called up for judgement; this
opinion is, in the opinion of well inform
ed persons, totally at variance with what
will occur. 1t is to be hoped that the
peace ofthe country will be preserved,
which is gerry doubtful"
The sentences have been deferred to
the next term-but it is very doubtful
whether any punishment will be inhict-
ed. The Belfast Northern Wing says:
We learn, on what we consider
good authority, that the Duke of We'll
lington is determined that Mr.. O'Con-
nell shall not be sent to prison, belev-
ing that the moral effect of conviction
will be sufficient, ard that punishment
will be useless piece of severity. If
Mr.. O'Connell will only conduct himself
with moderation and ordinary propriety
we do not think that he will be sent to
gaoI; and we shall certainly be glad if
matters take this turn."

The South Carolina sentence of
death, recently pronounced on this
young Northerner, for attempting to aid
his intended wife TO escape from slave
RVS said to have been remitted by the
Governor, of that State - and instead of
being hanged, the young man is only to
be "publlcly whip, d." TO what ex-
tent he is to be whipped, is not MENTION
ed. Slaves sometimes die, in the
hands of that chivalrous people, "ot
moderate correction, "-and they have
laws adapted to the occurrence of such
fact as "slore's dying Of moderGte
correctioa." Correction, causing death,
does not, among them, attach TO it, nee
essarily, the imputation Of lmmo crate.
1t could not, consistently, | should sup
pose, since death is often the end aud
object Of the correction"
This sentence of death-which was
published in the Herald, was, | think,
one of the most atrocious illusions that
ever came out of human mouth. 1t was
slavery IN the religious attitude of sem
fencing to death, for a contempt Of its
own hdeous and divine authority. 1t
abounded in religious appeals and in
junctios.
The monsters will probably whip the
unfortunate young man well nigh to
death, and the chIvaIrous mob will be
likely TO finish what the executioner
leaves undone. If they should, no d.
vine or politician Except Sd Party will
dare say word publicly about it,
