COURIVITION, CONSPIRACY; MID ASSAULT. dirthar Cerra" and Mike ifegy, were indicted fot a riot, and also for assanhing Richard Couchtrran.—• These prisogers were thesame who were tried yesterday for a conspiracy, with intent to murder the said Richard Couchman, and who had so uriraculously escaped conviction by an Mr. Milttlxv stated the save for the prosecution. Richard Couchman, the prosecutor, sworn.---ls coach-painter—an Englishman too; came to this country upon the invitation of Messrs. Hutton ; arrived in December last; gave a supper on his coming over, as he understand it to he the general custom ; ,knows Arthur Conolly, who now stands at the bar ; be had been employed by Messrs. Hutton in the ea, pocky of body painter, but it was arranged that he was to be employed in another department, that of .burnishing, after the arrival of witness; at the supper Jest mentioned, Conolly obsereed to witaess—J, we are Irishmen, and. want no person to teach us our thosiness; and. if you find fault with my IROII4 shall tell you to do it better yourself.' Conollyremained for some length of time in the employ di Messrs. Hutton after this supper; his (Conolly's) wages were raised, and at the suggestion of witness. He recollects the evening_of the 27th of August last ; Conolly had been discharged previous to that evening; witness left the factory that evening at a quartet before eight ; passed a dial, which makes him particular as to the hoary the factory is on Sommer-hill; witness lives on the circular road ; Mr. Underwood went part of the way borne with him; they parted at .the corner of Buckingham-street, and shortly after, as he was about to cross from the tight side of the street to the left, he received a most violent blow on the hack of the head, and as he was he saw Conolly (with whose countenance he was well acquainted) very distinctly ; is perfectly satisfied that he saw and knew Conolly, and that he was she man who struck him ; at that time he saw no other person, but after he was on the ground, he perceived a number of legs, the glittering of instruments, and the ends of bludgeons ; though he was considerably stunned, he retained, after the first blow, his recollection and sense sufficiently strong to enable him to identify Co. nolly, without any danger of being mistaken. He was cross-ex mined by Mr. Tuarrin DRISCOLL to shew, if possible, something like * discrepancy between his direct and cross-examinations, or his eel.. denim yesterday and this day. There never, however, appeared a more caudid, conscientious and rational' witness in a Court of Justice.  Other witnessei corroborated, at almost every ppaars titular circumstance, the prosecutor's evidence. defence set up by the prisoners was an alibi, in which they failed ; for after a trial of eleven hours the Jury retired, and, in five minutes, pronounced a verdict of Guilty. to the great satisfaction of every unprejudiced person in Court. Mr. Baron MCLELLAN' then proceeded to address the prisoners, concluding, in allusion to their acquit", tal yesterday, as follows : " You have been equine(' by a Jury of your Countrymen, upon their otths, of that crime which would cOndernn you to suffer. death. I will not can• vas the merits of that Jury—neither shall I examine its demerits—but this I will say, tint there was not an individual out of the jury.o.ix, who bad witnessed your trial, that was not satisfied of your guilt—that retained the slightest doubt upon ,thsr subjec•—and I trust that you feel at this moment, the truth and the justice of what Lotter." ,His Lordship then passed the sentence arlscch that the prisoner; be confined for Pun Yeats, and do stand in the public pillory three times during that period !  After the Cabinet Council on Sunday, Viscount CASTLEREAGH sent for the Prince of OaAsoe to the Foreign Office. His Serene Highness dined with the ' Noble Viscount that evening. Yesterday the State Lowery was contracted for at the Treasury, by Messrs. RicitanDeos, Goonvoca. and Co. and SWIFT and Co. A part of the Garrison of Pamplona has already arrived at Portsmouth, on board the V do* Name frigate, Captain
