subjoin such details of the news by her as we
have received:
hrsland.-On Saturday last, in Dublin, Mr.
Mitchell, convicted OF treason upon the previ-
Gus evening, was sentenced to fourteen years
transportation; and Immediately removed I'M
der an escort squadron OF cavalry 10 a steamer OF
war, which was in waiting to convey him to
the convict depot, at Spike Island, i'll the Cove
of Cork. His destination is Bermuda, whittier
he has already sailed, to be incarcerated
on board dock-yard hulk. Intense excite
ment prevailed in Dublin, upto Saturday aight,
but has since given way to a deep and solemn
silence, which denotes stern preparation and
resolve. A liberal provision will be made by
the nation for the convict's family.
Some detail disturbances have taken place in
London, at Bradford, Manchester, Leeds, and
other places. Chartists have been the chief in
stigators OF these tumults, which in every case
have been almost instantly suppressed. On
Monday evening largeassemblage Of chartists
| collected in Clerkenwell, in London, but at
midnight they quietly dispersed. On Wednes-
day evening similar meetings took place. but
the arrangements Of the police, aided by de-
monstration of the military, were so complete
that the mob, wherever il appeared, was spec
Oily scattered.
The special force was called out to guard the
outskirts, and the same alacrity was exhibit
ed by the middle classes as on the 10Th Of
April. AT Bradford collision took place
between the chartists and the police, and a
great riot ensued; but the military restored Or
der, and enabled the police TO capture the prin-
| cpai ringleaders, many Of whom have been
committed for trial at Manchester. After va
rious meetings of the confederated clubs and
chartists, general meeting was organized to
be held on "Wednesday, comprising large bod
les from the surrounding districts-but the
magistrates issued proclamation forbidding
it. They also prevented the Oldhamchartists
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 every deep-seated misery pre-
walls amongst immense bodies of the unem-
ployed people. Mr. Mitchel1s conviction is
the general theme of defamation by the ora
tors who address the people on these occasions.
The evil is becoming so great that we should
not be surprised if the government, throwing
overheard all their preconceived principles,
! were suddenly to adopt an extensive scheme
of emigration; certainly efforts were being
made to stimulate such an enterprise, but the
government is quiet, passive as yet, with re-
gard to any comprehensive measure of relief.
The price of bread is very low, which doubt
less mitigates much distress, but the mercan-
tile arrangements OF last year are now telling
deeply upon the working classes of England
generally.
i The papers relative to the dismissal Of Sir
Henry Bulwer have now been laid before the
Parliament. The London journals opposed TO
the English ministry admit unequivocaIly that
Sir Henry Bulwer gave no provOcation what
ever to the Spanish Government; that there is
no presentable charge or complaint against him.
and that the pretext that The Narvarez Cabinet
only wished the ambassador to quit Madrid to
5 save him from assassination is false aud worth
less.

tone exhibited In the general character of trade
e up TO the close of last week has been fairly

ding the constant augmentation of continent
tai intelligence by no means conducive to an
expression of the prevailing feeling. Unmili

e ly aggraved the feeling Of alarm caused by dis
orderly manifestations at home, and reaction
though trihing, has of consequence been pro
! duced. On monday and the two followin.
t days an insubordinate spirit was displayed in
j. London, some parts of Yorkshire, and the
neighborhood Of Manchester, by armed assem-
blages OF Chartists and Rspsalers, who, will
the avowed object OF making sympathetic de
o monstration in favor of Mr.. Mitchell, who's
% fate is noticed above, and exhibiting a public
re defiance OF the government, have effected con
II siderable deal of mischief. The immediate re
suits of these demonstrations have been an al
T" most suspension of business In the several 10
N calities-the wanton destruction of some fac
tory property, the compulsory closing Of tire
:, or four large establishments, and collision
!, with the civil power, in which the police an
II special constables were beaten; the authorities
al however, having resorted to strong Oppressive
IS measures, the disposition to riot has, with tn
aid of the military, been greatly checked; AM
now il is to be feared that perfect tranquilit
is far from being restored. No lives were lost
but several were wounded OH both Sides Tn
le accounts from the manufacturing districts, tho
