FoREIGN-Thc trial of the travcrsers at
Dublin will doubtless be greatly shortened by
an incident in the court on Tuesday. The
10Th count of the Indictment charged the ira
versers with creating discomfort among the
tenants and and ll.will between her majesty's
subjects. In defense the traversers intended
to put IN an army of evcted tenants to testify
that the discomfort and lll-wil were created
by the landlords The court suggested that
the introduction of such evidence would pro-
long the trial three or four years, upon which
the attorney general concluded to drop that
count. Speeches by the defense had been
made, up to Wednesday, in behalf of T. ID.
Sullivan, Walsh Harris and Nally. The
Judge then showed disposition to shut down
on further speeches, remarklng that 1t would
be impossible to listen to long speeches in be-
half of each of the fourteen traversers.
The debate on thereby to the Queens speech
still dragged another week in the house Of
commons. During the debate on Friday night
OF last week, Mr. Vivian SAID the feeling Of
the Irish people was shown by the fact that
many had waded through the blood of Lord
Mountmorris. Mr. Parncll instantly declared
the statement false, and refused to withdraw
his language. In the American congress this
would probably have lead to an instant fistic
encounter, or coffee and pistols for two" or
an investigation, reprlmand by the speaker,
&c In thief British parliament it scarcely
created rifle. Mr.. Parnell having refused
to Withdraw the offensive language, Mr.. Wv
ian simply remarked that he was willing to
let the house and the country judge between
him and Mr. p. Finally, on Thursday, the
address to the throne was adopted, after the
rejection of an amendment by O'kelly, asking
the queen to guarantee to the Irish people
their constitutional right.
