BssroN, Tuesday Night-ll o'clock,

+. The steamship America, Capt Judkins, from
Liverpool, June Sd, has arrived at her berth in
this port, in the remarkably short passage of ten
days and eight hours, including a detention of
eight hours off and at Halifax. Her time from
Halifax to this port was thlrty-six hours.
| Ireland.
On Saturday last, in Dublin, Mr. Mitchell, con-
yicted Of treason upon the previous evening, was
sentenced to fourteen years transportation, and
Immediately removed under escort squadron of
cavalry to steamer of war, which was in waiting
to convey him to the convict depot, at Spike
Island, in the Cove of Cork His destination is
Bermuda, whittier he has already sailed, to be in
carcerated on board dock-yard hulk. Intense
excitement prevailed in Dublin, up to Sunday
night, but has since given way to deep and
solemn silence, which denotes stern preparation
and resolve. A liberal provision will be made by
the nation for the convict's family.
The European Times says when the verdict
of guilty against Mr.. Mitchell was delivered,
scene Of great confusion ensued In the court,
but the tranquility of the city of Dublin was not
materially disturbed.
On the following day, the 9th ult, Mr.. Mitchell
was brought up for sentence, and after some
speeches, equally defiant as his previous conduct,

the court to fourteen years transportation On
the same day, he was conveyed, in the ordinary
prison van, to 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, and hur-

few can have felt more painfully than Mitchell the
deep anguish of seeing ones native land receding
amidst the growing waters This has been a stun
ming blow to the confederate party. A great cla-
NOR has been raised about the packing of the jury.
1t has been attempted to impeach the legality of
the conviction by showing that Roman Catholic
jurors struck from the panel, and in the
of O'Brien and MIR. Meagher, no doubt this was
the fact; but it seems to have been done in direct
contradiction 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 SUBJ
scription to be raised for the purpose.
| The types of the United hish,nan newspaper
were Immediately seized by the government, and
his property sequestrated. That paper is accord

for bringing out new Journal of similar ten
dency under the sovereign style, title and dignity
of the Irish Fslon.
The language of Mr.. John O'Connel, at the Re-
peal Association, when urging the members to
adopt the family Of Mitchell and In expressing in
dignation against the Attorney General, was part-
cularly exciting lie called upon all Irshmen 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 singy, but to
band themselves together as determined and united
| Irishmen.
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 60
vernment has determined on carrying out the SEN
tence against him of transportation beyond the
seas. In consequence however, of the bad state of
health under which the unfortunate man is suffering
they have renquished the intention of sending
him to Norfolk Island, but have ordered him to be
conveyed to Her Majesty's dock yard at Bermuda
and there, on board the Thames convict, hulk to un-
dergo his first years sentence.

for Cork, to take on board the unhappy Mr.. Nit.

Chartist Movements.
Some partial disturbances have taken place in
London, at Bradford, Manchester, Leeds, and other
places Chartists have been the chief instga tors
of these tumults, which, in every case, have been
almost instantly suppressed.
On Monday evening large assemblage of char
lists collected in Clerkenwell, in London, but at
midnight they quietly dispersed On Wednesday
evening similar meetings took place, but the ar
rangements Of the police, aided by demonstra-
ton Of the military, were complete, that the
mob, whenever it appeared, was speedily scat
tered.
The special force was called out to guard the
outskirts, and the same alacrity in turning out to
preserve order and property was exhibited by the
middle classes as on the 10th of April.
AT Bradford, collision took place between the
Chartists and the police, and great riot ensucd
but the military restored order, and enabled the
police to capture the principal rngleaders, many
of whom have been committed for trial at Man.
chester.
After various meetings Of confeder clubs and
Chartists, grand meeting was organised, TO be
held on Wednesday, comprising large bodies from
the surrounding districts, but the magistrates is
sued proclamation forbiding it. They also pre-
vented the Oldham Chartists from entering Man
chester. 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
misery prevails amongst immense bodies of the
unemployed people. Mr.. Mtchel's conviction is
the general theme of defamation by the orators
who address the people on these occasions. The
evil is becoming so great, that we should not be
surprised if the government throwing overheard
