:. The State Prisoners Their Protest-Habeas Cor

u On Saturday last the Mountstuart Ephinstone
I. Sonvct ship, arrived at Cove, for the purpose of
y conveying Mr.. Smith O'Brien and his fellow pr-
soners TO the scenes of their destination in Van
pieman's Land and Immediately afterwards in
structions were issued to the authorities to deliver
over their prisoners on the following Monday In
,Sthe meantime, however, Mr.. Smith O'Brien in
structed his counsel TO notice the Chief Secretary,
that inasmuch sentence OF death had been
y passed upon the prisoner, and the Queen had sub
u seouently committed that sentence to transporta-
stion fer life, (Which was, he maintains, defdcto
or conditional pardon) he could not legally be
transported for the crime of high treason. The re-
hnaning prisoners, respectively, served similar
fnctces. This new point raised by the prisoners,
1iss apparently seriously bothered the law officers;
for immediately privy council was held and 1t Is
'Erumored as the result of their deliberations,
that is the intention of the executive TO lay the
Fsnlnter before the legislature for the purpose of
obtaining an act of Parliament to enable them to
carry the commuted sentence of Punishment int
effect. 1t is, therefore, probable that the con-
Z vict ship will depart without its prisoners, and the
berths which were specially fitted up for them will
i remain snoccupied. Mr.. Butt and Sir Colman
1 0'Loughlin were prepared to move for writ
Of habeas corpus, had the government attempted
z The removal OF the prisoners from Richmond BRIDE
i'wen. Mr.. O'Bnen and his fellow sufferers are
all reported to be in good health The following

:. deeply regret TO have to inform you OF the un :.
7 timely death of Surgeon Carmichael, Preside OF
Z the Royal College of Surgeons, which melancholy
event took place last Friday. 1t appears that DR..
:. Carmichael was proceeding, on horseback to his
. country residence, at Sutton, near Howth, and, on
- arriving at part of the strand where inlet of
ed e cros" and when about half %ay me e nU
sunk when the rider lost his seat and was drowned
The body has pot since been found. The medical
profession has lost one OF Its highest ornaments,
and the poor friend.

Armagh has been visited lately by several pre-
y laes ol the Roman Catholic Church, tor the pur-
pose, tits supposed, of holding council in reference
-, 10 the appointment 10 the vacant prmacy Several
new names have been added to the list sent you
a short time ago. Ii Is now stated that, should a
bishop not be appointed, II is probable that Dr.
=. oHanlan, OF Maynooth, may be Dr. Srolly,s sue
cessor, as the majority of the sufiragan Ro-
4 man Catholic bishops have recommended his
!. appointment to the Pope; almost all the parish
! priests who voted, however, are against Dr. O'Han-
Ian s appointment.
Since last wrote to you, the weather has con-
tinued to be most propuous, which has told on the
crops. The accounts daily received are oil the
most encouraging and cheering description, with
the exception OF and then rumor OF the blight
having reappeared ia the potato. But as these ru.
thoTs are mostly OF contradictory and isolated
i xharacter, shall not anticipate evil until more
Evidences have been collected. The country In
deed never looked better, and the farmers are, one
and ALL in high spirits, rs there Is every prospect
Il of an early aud abundant harvest, The corn crops
fare getting up as well as could be wished. The
an turnip CROP however, IL not 80 good as was ex-
W rected but il is far from being bad crop. The
IN lind is being burned for further crop There IS
adecided failure in the fruit crop, which has been
:. Aac.ounted for by the late frosts:
. DoiItution progresses rapidly, but, thanks TO
y Providence, the cholera has abated. Al a meet
