VBricH to be Hung and CHARTERED.
The Europa brought over the following
account of the trial and conviction of the
distinguished Irish patriot:
"Smith O'Brien has been sentenced to
be hung on Saturday, the 11th, and have
his head chopped off, and body drawn
and quarlered. The jury. however, unit.
ed in unanimous recommendation ofthe
prisoner to the Grey of the crown.
Up to the sailing Of the steamer, no
definite information of the course the
Lord Lieutenant would pursue was as
certained. The Court set on Saturday,
and the Lord Chief Justice proceeded
with his charge till after ten, when ad.
tournament occurred 10 listen to the eVi.
denee oil protest of students of Trinity
College, going to show that Dobbin, the
informer, had purjured himself. The Judge
resumed his charge at d O'Clock. and the
jury retired. In an hour and 20 minutes
they returned verdict of guilty which
produced profound sensation. Appended
to The verdict was the following:
1--WE earnestly recommend the prison
er to the mercfui consideration of the
Government--the jury being unanimous
ly of the opinion that for many reasons
his life should be spared"
On Monday, Mr.. O'Brien was brought
up for sentence. His manly bearing,
his calmness, composure, and firmness,
were themes of observation throughout
the Court. The clerk of the crown then
asked Mr.. OBJ. what he had to say why
the sentence of the la Y should not be
passed on him:
Mr.. OBJ. then said:-
my Lord, it is not my intention to en-
ter into any vindicalioD, however much
| might have awaited myself of this OPP
portunity of so doing. With concioas
ness that have performed to my coun
try, that l have done only which in my
opinion it was the duty of every Irishman
to have done; and | am now PREPARED to
abide the consequences of having per
formed my duty to my naive land. Pro
coed with your sentence"
After brief address 10 the prlsoher,
the Lord Chief Justice put on he black
cap. "'SENTENCE is, that you, William
Smith O'Brien, be taken from whence
you came, then be drawn on hurdle TO
the place of execution and be then hang.
ed by the neck until You be dead. That
afterwards your head shall be severed
from your body-your body be divided in
four quarters. and be disposed of as Her
Majesty may please; and may God have
mercy on your soul"
The most profound sensation followed
He took an affectionate leave of the crowd
who rushed to shake him by the hand
and manifested great composure. He
was then removed in the prison van to
thejail. Lady O'Brien has flown to the
Queen in behalf of her son. A rumor
prevails that the Lord Lieut.. was mex
orable, and that no mercy would be
shown. McManus has also been con-
victed. G. 6. Duffey's trial was to open
about the 21st. The trial Of Donehue
for high treason was progressing.
From YUcATAN.-There was an arri.
val at Vera Cruz, on the llth inst, from
Campeaehy, with dates to the 9Th inst.
Advices were brought, that the Indians, to
the number of ten thousand men, had
attacked Yaxcaba again, and forced the
garrison to fall back upon Sotuta. The
garrison consisted of fourteen hundred
men, under command of D. Jose Dolores
Pasos, who lost two hundred men, in
killed and dispersed. Capt Acosta was
among the killed. He had the more i'm
mediate command of the troops unler
Pasos. The government Immediately des
patched from Merida Col. Rosado with a
reinforcement Of two hundred men, with
orders to take the command of the whole
body of troops. Great apprehension is
felt, that this reverse is but a prelude to
long series of disasters.-St. Louis
