      Thb Wans Or Eaao*.—The Prisoners Convict...

      Thb Wans or Eaao * . —The prisoners convicted at Clonmel were brought down to the Qieen ' s Bsnch on Friday , to verify and hand In the writs of error . They all , with tbe exception of Mr S , O'Brien , who seemed somewhat depressed , looked cheerful , and though pale as from coi-finement , appeared to be in good health . Having signed the writs , the Attorney-General requested time to consider tbe course be should adopt—whether

      he should demur to the errors , and thus turn tbe decision Into ons of law , or join in error , and take issue on tbe facts . . The court , of coarse , granted the adjourn . meat asked for by the Attorney-General , and the prl . eoncra were directed to be conveyed back to . prison . The court , during tbe proceedings , was crowded to . inconvenience with members of the bar . The hall of the court was also crowded to excess . Outside ( s » ys the Daiiv Haws ) there were very few persons , and tbere was no outward manifestation of sympathy on tbo part of any of the populace .,

      In Mr Martin ' s osse tbe judges have decided against tke errors assigned and confirmed the conviction . The FasiKstj ' s Joukwal supplies the following aeeo * dote : — 'When Sir O'Brien and the other state prl . soaers who were to assign errors In the Court of Queen ' s Beach , wereleavm ; Kltosinbom for tbe purpose ot being conducted , to the court , Mr O'Brien observed that a detectlvewas placed in the oar which be was about to enter . Mr O'Brien refused to proceed unless the detectiva was removed , stating that be was willing to go into the prison van , or any other way , but that be would not , except by coercion , go Into tbe oar In company with a man whose avowed duty was to assert falsehoods . Upon this the detective was directed to leave the car , into which Mr O'Brien then went . Mr Meagher , who was to proceed in the . car , joined with Mr O'Brien in requlr . ing the expulsion of tho detective . Ma o'bjikh ' s eebob case .

      The ¦ argument on tbe , writ of error sued out by Mr W . S . OtBrien commeuced en Tuesday in the Queen ' s Bench , ispresence of tbe prisoner and a crowded court . Notwithstanding the weight of the argument pro and con the public manifested a desire to hear , or rather witness the proceedings , not surpassed at . any period of the celebrated [ state trials of 1813 . 41 . Mr O'Brien was an object ot general sympathy throughout ths day . He looked , and I believe with , too mnch reason , yery ill and desponding . It is said that he is suffering from lum . bsgo and another affection , consequent upon close confinement and anxiety cf mind . After the adjournment ot the court , Mr Smith O'Brien was removed ia tbe prison van to Richmond Bridewell , escorted by a troop of tho 17 th Lancers and some horse polios .

      MX DCFFI ' S TRIAL With Kgard to Mr Daffy ' s trial , the Fakehan's says : 'A paragraph has been going the rounds , ia which it is stated that a portion of tbe jurors' b » ok of the county Dublin has been purloiaed from the printer ' s office , and that the result will be the postponement oi Mr Duffy ' s trial to some indefinite period . This is all moonshine . The only list that could be at tbe printing offleo at present is the one for 1819 ; but Mr Duffy ' s trial was post , poned merely till the 13 h of next mouth , and his panel will , of course , be selected from tha book of the present year , which bas bees printed and in use for eleven months . In fact , in llttlo mora than a fortnight the monster indictment of a hundred and ten feet of printed parchment , which the Crown have prepared for Mr'Daffy , will be under the constderatfoa of a jury to see what tbty can make of the same .

Be added , ' that , if tbe soveromept would permit , he would go out to Haw York , and not trouble them any more . When asked ia tbe Court if he wished to ear anythiag in reference to the charge , he replied that when he made the ststiment above given , he was drunk , end was not aware of what he said . Bat tbs allegation was denied by the police ,, who stated tbat he was quits sober ; and the magistrates said that Col . Browne was too cautious to take any statement from a drunken person .

Ths cause of tbe' rebellion' at Cork was , that the commls . eioners bad issued an order for the removal of tbe mas . ter , matron , and comptroller or assistant master . The enmtte at Limerick was occasioned by the separation of tbe children from tbe female paupers , aad tbeir trans , mission tesn additional workhouse ; The mothers at first would not be removed from their children , but in numbers tumnltueosly followed tbem through the streets on their ramoval .

      The Stats Pbisomsbs . — -There are rumours tbat the executive intend to owry out tbs sentence on Mr Martin , and that tbey will , therefore , forward him immediately to the plica of deportation . That tbis can be done , even though bis case sbeuld still bs brought to the House of Lords , tbere is no doubt ; and , as regards tbe discussion of the question before that court of ultimate appeal , the matter depends npoa the Attorney-Genera ' .

The following account of tbs destruction of tbe bacon trade of Waterford is taken from the Watbbfobd CnaomoLx : — 'The bacon trade of Waterfovd is ruined , it has seen its best days—the once happy tenants of ths Trllow Riad , etc ., the saltsrs , are fast moving from amongst us , their trade hers is annihilated—the Free Trade humbug has done this—it has ruined Ireland whilst it served England , It is now ussiest for a Waterford merchant to kill pigs and make up fcaoon for a London market—it is inundated with the produee of Cincinnati and elsewhere ; there is no protecting doty for Irish industry . Soms of our merchants who em . ployed numbers in curing bacon now And it more

      profitable to Import Amsrioan offal and lard ; this Is a new feature In our aflMrs , We deeply regret ths imminent ruin of this last branch of our Waterford manufactures . The rain of the Jobn Street weavers may be dated frem the Union ; the act which permits tha free importation of American bacon was passed by the British Parliament , from which we do not expect any hops of protection , but we cannot bat shudder when we reflect that the destruction which Is hurrying towards our bacon trade is likely to prove disastrous to the many who will be obliged to seek employment in a distant land , which they could much mora happily have enjoyed at borne , but for the stupid blundering of a Saxon parliament , which whilst It knew it served the people of London , Manchester , Birmingham , < to „ little oared how far the trade of this country was l . kelyto be injuriously affected byit .

A large quantity of tbis grain will , without delay , bs transmitted to the interior , but the great bulk will not bs drawn oat , unless the millers should prefer it , with its present duty , until the present corn law expire , No wonder the Irish farmer , the labourer , asd artisan should be flying from the country that heretofore was called tbe 'draw farm ef England , ' but that appears to be destined to Joel henceforth to tbe serfs of Russia and Poland for its own food . —Correspsndentof tbeMo > n % Herald , EVICTIONS AND EHIOBATION .

And the streets I have enumerated are still the crack streets of Dsblin , Many others , three or four jeara ago not inferior to these , are near ); deserted . For instance , Castle Street , Christ Church Place , High Street , the two Bridge Streets , New Bow , Francis Street , and Thomas Street , are quickly verging towards a level with tbe long . rulned lanes and alleys of ' the Liberty 1 ' But about tbe latter extensive quarter of our city I will say little , as I never remember to have seen it but poor , decayed , and tending to utter ruin . However , it wes not nntll those days tbat ' utter ruin' did fall on the unfortunate < Liberty . ' Bat now it has fallen , and it would be a mercy to BOfflB 20 , 000 of its wretched dwellers if cholera , or some other destroyer would remove them by wholesale into eternity [ I fee . quently make r . ramble through tbs more open quarters

      of ' the Liberty '—as the Coombe , New Market , Meatn Street , Sou'h Earl Street , Thomas Court , Tripoli , Brabazqn Street , and Fimliso—and I sometimes enter tbe bouses let as 'tenements , ' to tbe wretched creatures who can procure no better lodging , Hers I am astoaiahed on nil hands . Ths gigantic , old-fashioned houses , with tbeir lofty stories , massive and richly-brought frames , aad balustrades of mahogany and oak , tbeir rzeanalre chambers and broad obimnles , bespeaking tbem to have beea once tbe abodes of wealth , luxury , and teste . Ay , these things astonish me—aad then , when I look < n ihs squalid groups of human beings living , or rather dying , In those bleak , and dooriess , and windowless apartments—and when I gszs on tbe bare , dirty walls , and- the naked fireplace , and tbe invariable wisp of putrid straw , stowed away . in the corner , I am doubly astonished to know feow human beings can exist , month after month , aad yeac after year , In such brutausing misery .

      Aud this is oae of the pictures of Dublin 1 But turn into one of the 'ftshloaable * quarters—and though you will see long rows of wel ' .-trimmed habitations , and gaily-decked beads and brows peeping from tho win * dowa , still all without betokens the progress of tbe general ruin . Here comes a leug train of soldiers from their parade—their Saxon array , tbeir clanking arms , •• heir rattling mnslo—yea , tbo very tramp of tbeir foot . steps on the pavement , se : ming to utter proud defiance to the Bixister . looking wretches who stand to curse themselves and their masters as tbey pass . And thsre is a pair of Infantile ballad singer ? , chauntlng , In querulous and freizing tones , theold sonrsof tbecoustr /— * Erlngo-Bragh , ' 'The Land of the West , ' and 'Home , Sweet Homo ; ' whilst up comes a hu'kvog pollctman , and , with his recently acquired Saxouish impudence , orders them to ' move on , ' or he will dreg them to the station-hoaee I And the famished tremblers do * movo on , ' and the burly poiicenan'moves on , ' too , but encounters many other similar ' nuisances' before be arrives at bis * bait . '

      And tbis is another picture of Dublin ! Bit I must close my exhibition ef suoh pictures until a future op . portunlty . Tbe accounts from the rural districts era still more terrific ! Monster , Connaught , and a considerable por . tlen of Leinster , are now more completel y revolutionised tban If the' Confederates' had b : en successful , and were after drlviig the Saxon , root and branch , out of tbe kingdom ; society is all but utterly dismembered , and excepting stipendiaries of tbe government , it would be difficult to find anybody who is not on the verge cf pauperism . I know parties who , twe or three years ago , kept a retinue of servants , hunters , carriages , ic , tbat are now without a four-footed beast on their land , and obliged to exist on a scanty allowance of rye or

      IndUn meal , I ' know gentlemen , who , a short time ago , wera considered wealthy , tbat are now eagerly seeking any menial of &» in the Poor Laws or Excise , or any other department where a pound can be earned . The eqatrearchy are aluwat at badly off as the peasantry—Indeed , generally speaking , tbey are worse , for tbe poor peasant ( as himself would say , ) is' used to tbe misery , and so were hit forefathers be / ore him ! ' But this is partially wrong . There never was genuine misery la Ireland until now . Hitherto , when 'failures' came or 'the sickness was brief , ' poor Paddy had a resource , Tbe' priest , ' or the ' minlsther , ' or tho ' squire ot tbe big bouso , ' afforded relief , and were there nobody but bis neighbour pea . santry , his children would not go to bed hsngry .-and if

      bis wife died she would not be buried without' a ffBHS and a coffin . Now all this is over ! Paddy ma ; Starrs , and neithtr priest , nor minister , nor squir * , nor farmer , nor peasant , can relieve him . All are in want them , selves , —most of them absolutely ruined , and nobody able or willing to give a sixpence in charity . ' Go to the poor-house'is now the cry , and If the poor-house csuld admit all who claim and want its shelter , It would bs well enough . But ^ this is out of the question . There would be a psor-souse required now in every parish in the south and west , and wherever there is a population of 1000 , there w & uld be found 909 claimants for the shol . ter of tbs poor-house . This is no overdrawn picture . I know the situation of tbe people as well as any man and in England none conld conceive tbe terrlfio reality .

      Tbo news in tbis city is very trlfllag . Lord William Fllsjcrald ' s Association for promoting the annual ses > slon of Parliament in Dublin , met last Thursday . This project stems te have few abettors in this country , and I have little confidence that it will ever become popular with ths people . The Roman Citbolio clergy have nothing to do with it ; tho true Whigs and Tories and Conservatives eaohew it ; asd as for the Repealers of all ! shades , they wash their h & nds of it entirely . Lord , William , I tbink , will labour Jn vaiaiu his well-meant : but very equivocal agitation .

      Tbe Clonmel convicts are once more iu town . Smith t O'Brien looks as well as usual , and the glorious Meagher : is as beloved as ever by the people ol Dublin . They ars e lodged in Richmond Penitentiary ; and having to appear r at the Court of Qieoa ' g Bench every day , tbeir route a through tbe streets is thronged by thousands , whe cheer r the illustrious captives with all tbe old warmth of spring g 1848 ; though one cannot help remarking a note of des * 1-pondenoy in those cheers of recognition and 'frater . r . nity , ' To-day the bearing of convicts' counsel on the ie Writ of Error will commence , aud there are high hopes it of a successful issue . I have serious doubt of the con . u trary , netwithstandlng .

      The hero of tbe Sutlej—Sir Charles Napier—Is now W amongst us . There have been banquets and revelws , rs and re-inlons , to do him honour , and glorify his lis triumphs over the liberties of mankind ; whilst Smith th O'Brien and Martin , and the gtllaut Meagher , are ire chsintd convict , for asserting tho right of Irishmen to to live In Ireland eld Napkr is feasted and blarneyed , and nd thrust insultingly before an outraged but powerless ess people ! The Whig understrappers paraded his very ery ugly * O . neralshlp' before the audience at Hawkins Ins Street Theatre , oa Saturday last , and tried led to get up a demonstration » in' his favour , rar ,

      bnt it Was O defeat 1 The few cheers , faint and wiry , try , from the boxes and pit ; wera speedily hushed In the storm irm of execrations from the galleries . A thousand vsices ices roared forth 'Hurrah for the gallant Sikhs 1 ' 'Vp , Up , up , with the yellow banner again 1 * « The Sutlej and aud more lnck to it ; ' whilst again and again , thundering ring cheers were given for « Smith O'Brien , Thomas Franols mols Meagher , and our'Irish friends , at home and abroad !' ad !' This display told old Knpier mors of the true state ofteof Irish feeling than he would learn In a century gorman . n 8 n « dislDg with ff hlg mentals or putting tbe red eoate through ough their antics on the fifteen acres '

      Conciliation Hall is gone to the dogs I Its valuable jable ) library was brought to the hammer last week , and the d the i proeeeds are said to have exceeded expectation , JobnJohni O'ConnelHa still coquetting with the people , and seemsieemsi unwilling to give up ' quiet possession ' of the ' Hall ofaU off his ancestor V It will go , however , and it is said , wUll , wllll be forthwith converted Into a chapel for the use of Ko . f Ro » man Catholic sailors , It will make a magnificent housahcusaa of worship ; and as there is no part ef Dahlia In so muchmuchi need of a Rtman Cathollo Church as that nsigbbBur ^ bBurhood , 'the ball' conld not be Better disposed of tban byian byv being converted from a * Dan of Thieves ' into a' HouseHousee of Prayer }'

      Omulbutes on the London plan , are now plying bwg be * tween the central portions of the City and Rathmlnesanlnesj , The old jarvies are offering all tbe obstruction in thtlo tbtUi power , but tho magistrates are determined to crush thiish thiiii Infamous conduct .
