We are indebted to ali extra of the Plcayune'

The European Times says: When the verdict
of guilty against Mr. Mitchell was delivered, scene
of great confusion ensued in the Court but the tram
guilty of the city of Dublin was not materially dis
turbed.'
On the following day. the 9th ult., Mr. Mitchell
was brought up for sentence, and after some
speeches, equally defiant his previous conduct
of all authority whatsoever, he was sentenced by
the Court to fourteen years transportation. On the
same day he was conveyed, in the ordinary prison
van, to a Government steamer lying close to the
quay
We forbear to touch here upon all the tender and
affecting circumstances of the sudden parting OF
this unfortunate man with his wife, children and
confederates. The sternness of ambition yielded
before the overpowering claims OF nature, dnd hu,

few can have felt more painfully than Mitchell the
deep anguish of seeing ones native land recedlng
amidst the growing waters. This has been stun

were struck from the panel, and in the cases OF
O'Brien and Mr.. Meagher no doubt this was the
fact but it seems to have been done in direct con-
tradicton to the instructions of the Government.
| By vote of the Repeal Association, the wife
and children of Mr. Mitchell are to be adopted by
the people of Ireland, and their comfort and educa
ton provided for at the public expense, out of
| subscription to be raised for the purpose
| The types of the United Irishman newspaper
| were Immediately seized by the Government, and
his property sequestrated. That paper is, accord
ingy at an end, but arrangements are in progress
| for bringing out new journal, of a similar tend
ency, under the sovereign sye title and dignity Of
| the +" Irish Felon.''
The language of Mr. John O'Connell, at the Re.
peal Association, when urging the members to
adopt the family of Mr.. Mitchell, and in expressing
indignation against the Attorney'GeneraI' was par.
ticulary exciting. He called upon all lrishmen
never again to speak to the Attorney General, but
to spit upon him as he had spit upon the Catholics
not to expose themselves to be struck down singly,
but to band themselves together as determined and
| united 1rishmen.
| Mr.. Mitchell arrived at Spike Island, Cork, on
| Sunday night, and was instantly handed over to
the Governor. He will Immediately assume the
convict Dress and be treated in every respect like
| an ordinary convict.
| From the declaration of Sir George Grey, in the
| House of Commons, it appears that the government
has determined on carrying out the sentence
against him of transported ton beyond the seas, In
| consequence, however, of the bad state Of health
under which the unfortunate man is suffering, they
have relinquished the intention OF sending him to
Norfolk Island, but have ordered him to be con,
veyed to Her Majesty's dock'yard at Bermuda, and
there on board the Thames convict hulk, to undergo
| his first years sentence.
| H. NJ steam soop Scourge, of six guns, Com.
| Wingrove, left Portsmouth on Monday morning for
Cork, to take on board the unhappy Mr. Mitchell,
and other prisoners, and to proceed immediately 10
Bermuda.
| Chartists Movements
| Some partial disturbances have taken place In
London, at Bradford, Manchester, Leeds, and other
places Chartsts have been the chief instgators Of
these tumults, which, in every case have been al
| most instantly suppressed.
| On Monday evening large number of chartists
collected in Clerkenwell, in London, but at mid
night they quietly dispersed. On Wednesday even
ing similar meetings took place, but the arrange
ments of the police, aided by demonstration OF the
military, were so complete that the mob whenever
it appeared, was speedily scattered.
| The special force was called out to guard the
outskirts, and the same aacrity in turning out to
preserve order and property was exhibited by the
middle classes, as ON the 10th of April.
At Bradford, a collision took place between the
Chartists and the police. and great riot ensued
but the military restored ORDER and enabled the po
lice to capture the principal rngleaders, many Of
| whom have been committed for trial at Manchester
After various meetings of confederated clubs and
Chartists, grand meeting was organized, to be
held on Wednesday, comprising large bodies from
the surrounding districts, but the magistrates issued
proclamation forbiddng it. They also prevented
the Oldham chartists from entering Manchester
A large body of military and police were drawn up
and the multitude was compelled to retreat
There can be no doubt that very deep seated mis-
cry prevails amongst immense bodies of the unem-
ployed people. Mr. Mtchel's conviction is the gen.
eral theme ofdeclamation by the orators who ad-
dress the people on these occasions The evil is
becoming great, that we should not be surprised
if the Government, throwing overheard all the1
preconceived principles, were suddenly to adopt
some extensive scheme of emigration. Certainly
efforts were being made to stimulate such an enter
prise, but the Government is quiet, passive as yet
with regard to any comprehensive measures OF re-
lief. The price of bread is very low, which, doubt
less, mitigates much distress, but the mercantile de-
rangements of last year are now telling deeply upon
the working classes OF England generally
| France.
During the past week tranquility has been main
tanned in Paris, under the vigorous administration
of Gen. Cavignac, with large body of regular
troops under his command. The attempts which
have been several times made to create disturbance
have been at once suppressed.
The National Assembly, surrounded by an i'm
mense military force sits daily, and appears by de-
grees settling down to the business of practical legs
lation.
The determination of the Assembly and the ex
ecutive to break up the system of organization o
labor, set foot by M. Louis Blanc, has occa
stoned deep resentment among the recipients o
the wages of the State. The executive first strucl
a blow at the directors of the CURRIERS' NJ. Emile
Thomas, who succeeded M. Louis Blanc in the ad
mnstration of the attellier nntionau1.
On the night of the Goth ult., NJ Emile Thomas
was suddenly sent for by Minister of Public
Work, and superseded in his office by two civil en-
gineers, and having been compelled to sign resig
nation, sent off in the custody of two agents o
police to Bordeaux, or the neighborhood.
The workmen demanded the reinstatement o
Emile Thomas in his functions, and since that time
the rappel has been beaten almost daily.
Large assemblages of workmen have been drawn
together in various parts of Paris, but being KEEP
in check by the overw helming force both of regula
