IRELAND.-The preliminaries TO the prose

As il was announced that the traversers woul
proceed in procession, accompanied by trail
of admirers, to the Queens Bench, to appea
on their recognizances, precautions were take
by the civil and military authorities to proven
any breach of the peace that might arise out @
this i'll advised display. The military force i
the castle was doubled; another body of troops
with two pieces of artillery, was posted in th
vicinity of the Four Courts; and the police pat
rolled the streets from an early honr in the NOR
ming. At half past eleven o'clock the traver
sers, followed by about twenty or thirty gen
tlemen, and some members of The Confederat
Clubs, walking two abreast, proceeded on foo
TO the courts. The mob, which was not nu
merous al that hour, owing perhaps to the ex
treme wetness OF the day, preserved an omin
Gus silence until the traversers entered the gate
OF the courts, when a cheer was raised TO
Messrs. O'Brien, Mitchell, and Meagher. Tn,
grand jury having been sworn, Mr.. Justics
Champion, the presiding judge, proceeded tC
deliver his charge. Before the rising of the
court, at four o clock, true bills were founc
against the traversers upon every count in the
indictments sent to the jury. They were then
severally given in charge, and the usual foul
day rules to plead were entered.
DUBLIN, April l8.-Shortly after the sitting
OF the court of Queens Bench to-day, the APP
plication was renewed on the part of Mr.. o.
Brien, that he should appear by attorney. The
motion was unopposed, and the presence OF
Mr.. Potter, his attorney, vice the member for
Limerick, was allowed by the court. The same
rule was applied to all the other cases, and
Messrs. Meagherand Mitchell absented them
selves. Smith O'Briens trial, the first of the
series. will take place May l3, the first day of
the after sittings.
lfSmith O'Brien be convicted, his property,
which amounts 10 between four and five thou
sand pounds year, will be con6scated TO the
Crown. One of the charges against him is tam
pering with the military.
The drilling act has been put into operation
IN Dublin. Accordingly, number of young
men, thirteen in number, were arrested on
Sunday evening last, April l6, while perform
ing military evolutions in a large room in that
city. They were lodged in the station house,
brought up for examination at the head police

Notwithstanding the vigorous determination
IL the Government to put stop to the move
nents of the disaffected throughout Ireland, the
preparations for rebellion still proceed. A COM
from Youghal states that "the
Pirit Of Instruction is rapidly spreading in
ne southeast-from Youghal to Mallow, from
;aPpoquin to Chonmel, and that nothing is
poken OF but rifles, and rifle clubs, pixies, bar
lcades, &C." The writer mentions the meet
ng OF rifle club at Clay Castle, at which over
,OOO persons were assembled. This state of
hings is becoming matter of general noto-
iety. The most formidable rebellion that ev-
shook Ireland from sea TO sea is, unfortun
tely. at this moment, threatning the commu-
ity.

THREATENED ATTACK On TRINITY COLLEGE,
'uBLK.-A gentleman, from Trinity College,
,uolin, arrived In town yesterday, by the |
duchess oil kent, states that an attack upon
