LATEST FROM EUROPE.
IRELAND.

! In Ireland the preparations for the
State trials were going forward. and there
existed much angry feeling as TO the mode
proposed for empanneling the jury. Ap-
plicatIon was made on the part Of the ira
versers for copy ofthe special jury par
mel from which the trial jury were to be
selected; but it was perempiorily refused
by the Sheriff. Meantime the following
notice appears in the Dublin Freeman's
Journal of the Sd January, which is sup
posed to indicate disposition on the part
ofthe Government to discontinue tho pro-
seculion, which, however, is discounte-
nanced by the Freeman's Journal as tend
ing to injure the cause of Repeal.
"CAUTIoN.-The public, and especial
~ Repealers, are cautioned against some
persons who are going round the city
asking for signatures to an address to the
Queen against the State Prosecutions,
falsely asserting that they do SC by au-
thority from the Corn Exchange, such
conduct being gross misrepresentation
and intended 10 effect some base pur.

Mr.. O'ConueIl arrived in Cork on the

He delivered speech, from which the
English papers make the following ex.
tract:
As TO an acquittal, it scarcely depends
on guilt or innocence. All the facts took
place in the open day--in the presence of
the magistrates and police. They were
committed to the secrecy of the public
press. When the old watchmen were

keeping a secret as to the precise hour
of the light. A laugh Il was so with

with this important question. as may

In giving my views, | desire to be gov

obtaining the right of way, individuals
have made concessions to the State, with
view to the general good of her citi-
zens, and with The belief that she would
hold her public works; a company could
not have purchased the same for four
times the amount. AT present any per-

convenience by the road, without paving

them; if placed in the hands of compa-

special benefit, which would be worth
more than the entire cost of The road; ev-

roads are sold) fixing the price of"wheal
in Michigan for all time to come" We
owe an apology to our readers for the
admission of such ridiculous nonsense in
to our columns. We trust, however,
that it may not be without its benefits, in
showing up the merits and force of the
arguments, by which sale of the public
works is opposed-whether this road is
in the hands the state, or of individuals,
will have as much effect on the price of
wheat in Michigan, as it will on the price
oftea in China, or coffee in the West
Indies. What are the facts in the case :?
II is within the knowledge of our cor
respondent, and of every man on the line
ofthe road, that with good waggobing
'or sleghing, flour and wheat, can be prof.
itably transported by teams at rail road
prices. and is transported every day that
passes. But were it not so, The whole
matter is In the power of the Legislature.
and it would be soft. indeed, to pass The
road out ofthe hands of the state. with
out ample provisions against any impo
sitious ofthe character supposed. Such
is their duty, and it would be criminal to
neglect it. What then becomes of this
scare crow about "company fixing the
price of wheat?"
The next point aimed at, is 10 show that
individuals or companies cannot,or do not
manage the business ofraiI roads as eco.
nomically as it can be done and is done,
by state officers. This is position that
admits of no comment. 1t is discovery

Though we entirely concur in the sen.

an interference with matters of a local,
if not personal nature, that appears to US
