| turned into court with verdict of guilty. The
prisoner bore the announcement with great firm
| ness. The jury have recommended him TO the mer-
| cltul consideration Of the Crown.
After Mr. McManus was removed, the eourtpro-
ceeded with the
Trial of Mr.. o'Donohue.
After jury had been sworn, and the formali-
ties adopted, as in the other cases the Attorney
General briefly stated the case. Towards the con-
cluson of his speech he observed that there being
no evidence of any declaration by the prisoner Of
his motives and intentions in joining the rebels, it
might be argued by his counsel that his object was
not revolutionary. He (the Attorney General) con-
tended that he, having joined the ranks of the rebel
army, was equally guilty with the leaders, and must
be supposed to have had the same objects in view
and to have adopted their plans.
Prisoner 1t is right my lord, to say that don't
wish 70 escape upon the poor miserable pretext
which the Attorney General would put into my
mouth.
Chief Justice Blackburae You had better leave
your case in the hands Of your counsel.
Mr.. Meagher.-Iti is right to say, my lord, that it
was not intended to put the defence Of my client
upon that ground.
Prisoner. / will not escape upon such misera-
bic pretext.
Chief Justice. You have very able counsel, and
would advise you to leave your case with them.
Prisoner. / say will not be made the miserable
creature of, described by the Attorney General the
better to give him an opportunity of staggering.
Attorney General My Lord
Chief Justice. You had better not mind the pri-
soner.
Mr.. Meagher advised his client to remain silent.
The court then adjourned.

Wilmer q Smiths European Times, of the 18th
Instant says
We regret to state that the scourge which, during
the last few MONTHS has desolated the eastern parts
of Europe, spreading its ravages from Cairo to ST.
Petersburgh, and lingering within these few weeks
at Hamburg, has at length, as anticipated, reached
the shores of Great Britain. 1t is officially de-
clared by the Registrar General that the Asiatic
cholera has appeared in the metropolis and we'll
authenticated Of the malady are reported from
Sunderland, Shields, Hull and Edinburgh.
The disease made its appearance almost contem-
poraneously III Sunderland, and in the low lying dis
tricts below London Bridge. In both places, the
first cases those of Incorporate sailors, who
came from Hamburg, and were attacked by the
malady on the voyage. Asregards Edinburgh, the
origin Of the disease is left in doubt The official
cases up to Saturday last
In Edinburgh, up to the latest report, there had
been Is cases, 20 ofwhich had proved fatal. Upto
Wednesday, in the present week, the number of
cases in London is alleged to be about 90 but a
daily official report is not vet issued The authori-
ties in all parts of the country to be taking the
most jealous precautions to counteraet, prevent and
remedy this dreadful maady, which we earnestly
hope will make but brief visit to our shores.
Sanguinary and Successful Insurrection in Vienna
ofWaT-The Diet En- Permanence
The German mail has brought tidngs Of another
insurrectiOn and revolution in Vienna, which has
terminated like the first in the defeat ofhe military
and the flight of the Emperor. The signal for the
present uprising was given by the attempt of the
government or the War Minister to remove from the
capital certain regiments which had shewn sympa-
thy with the popular party.
The people prevented the departure of these regi-
ments, which finally joined them, and for the first
time in the revolutionary events Of Germany, body
of soldiers were found on the side ofinsurection.
The Minister ofWar, Count Latour, has shared the
fate of Count Lamberg and the two Zichys; and
Vienna was in the possession of the insurgents on
the 9TH. The honors that have been conferred on
the Ban have been revoked, and it is now to be
seen whether he will act up to his asserted inten
tions-to replace the Emperor firmly on bis throne.
His army is nearer Vienna than Pesth.
Vienna, Oct. Two battalions Of grenadiers
had received marching orders for Hungary por-
ton of the men refused to obey They were, there
fore, escorted by regiment Of curassiers As
they approached the bridges over the Danubs, they
were received by armed peasantry, who prevented
them from proceeding further, fraternzed with
them, and commenced demolishing the bridges.
The national guards arrived and sided with the
military. The cuirassiers who could not recross
the bridge, were obliged to retire. A fight soon
ensued between the grenadiers, national guard and
people, the one side and battalion Of fIsiliers,
Of the Polish regiment Of Nassau, on the other,
supported by troops recently arrived from Prague.
The struggle lasted till midday in the Leopold
stadt, and then spread TO the city, where division
Of national guards fought against the students and
the country people.
Between the hours Of and in the afternoon,
the Ministry Of War, which was only guarded Dy
thirty men, was stormed and ransacked, and the
Minister of War Count LatouF, murdered IN the
most barbarous manner by stabs in the body and
hlon-a Of sledoe- IN nrnar axe on the head. and
