      Thb Warn ov Eibob . —Tbe prisoners convioted at Clonmel were brought down to the Qaeen'i Beach on Friday , to verify and hand in the writs of error . Tbey all , with the exception of Mr S . O'Brien , who seemed somewhat depressed , looked cheerful , and though pill as from cod fine meat , appeared to be In good health . Having signed tbe writs , tbe Attorney-General requested time to consider the course he _tfaould _afopt-r-whether he tbould demur to the errors , and , thus tuns the decision into one of law , or join in error , aud take issue on tbe faots . The court , of courts , granted the adjournment asked for by tbe Attorney-General , and the prisoners were directed to be cenveyed back to prison . The court , daring the proceedings , wai crowded to in . convenience wltb members of tbe bar . The ball of tbe oourt was also crowded to excess , Oattlda ( ttyi the Dmv News ) there were very few persons , and then wai no outward manifestation of ijmpatby on the part of any of the popnlsce .

      In Ur _Hirtln ' f oaie the jadges havt decided , against tke errors assigned and confirmed tht _conviotlon . The _FaBEKsN ' s _Joratut- supplies the following anecdote '— 'When Mr O'Brien tad the . other . state prlloners who were to assign _trrort in tbt Court of Qaeen ' i Benoh , were leaving Eiimiinhsin for the parpoie of being _coadeeiiA to . the court , _UrO'Britnebisrvedtbata detective wae placed ' in tht car which ho wu about to enter .

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 . Ur O'Brien was an object . oi . general sympathy throughoat the day . He looked , find I believe with too much reason , very ill and desponding . It it taid that he is suffering from Inm . bigo and another effeotleo , consequent upon dose con . fiaement and anxiety of mind .

Some of our merchants who em . ployed numbers in curing bacon now find It mors profit _, able to import Amerioan offal and lard ; tbii ii a new

      feature in eur affairs . We deeply regret tbe imminent ruin of . thli last branoh of our Waterford manufactures . Tbe rain of the Jobn Street weavers may be dated frem tbe Colon ; the act which permits the fret importation of American bacon wss passed by the British Parlia . ment . from which we do not expect any hope of protection , but we oannot but shudder wben we reflect that tba _de'truotien which le hurrying towards our bacon trade Is likely to prove disastrous to tbe many who will be , obliged to seek employment in a distant land , wblob they oonld muoh more happily have enjoyed at home , but for tbe stupid blundering of a Saxon parliament , wbioh whilst it knew it served the people of London , _MtBOheittr , _Bltmingbam , ic , little oared how far the trade of this country was likely to Be injuriousl y afftoted by it .

There ii not a daller capital in Europe than Dublin Nothing more surprises tbe man of contemplative mind tban the contrast between the metropolitan aillhieii of to-gay , and the metropolitan buzz and bustle of sis short _moatbi ago—unless , perchance , he _te-jiasto en . qairebow on eortb one-tenth of tbe miserable inhabL . tents of tbis City cao get a moat _^ fal of food , ThBB Indeed , comes the grrat _csqso of wonder and tba Brett mystery is the minds of tens of thousand- . But aboat

      the more promt sent characteristics of our good oity ' mt now ; beggary abroad , and silent despair within , con . _itituto oar winter fashions for 1818 . The last issue of the Dobuh _Exa'tikeb dt-voted a column , or better , to the portraiture o / _Dsblln , tbe decay and rain of its _btij ' . _ness . Well , tbe writer furnishes a pretty plentiful bill of fare—but for all that , he is evidently a stranger in Dublin , and hai taken little pains to arrive at foil in . formation on his mournful sobj ct , He mentions thai several houses In tbe beat mercantile quarters are _uq . tenanted , and namei a whole street in the ' Liberty , formerly inhabited by dealers in old clothes , which has been utterly deserted by its Inhabitants . All tbis fi true , but wby dees tbe writer atop io short ? Why does he not add , that with perhaps eome dozen or twenty

      leading 'bouses' ia Dublin , and these principally Scotch and English concerns— -thero Is no man doing as muoh la the way of business aa wonld pay his Uses t—loaving ont bis rents , tbe _mainttnance of bis family , and the expense ! of bii _establiibment , Well , this it true > Nine _, teeo-twentietbt of the Dublin merchants and traders are this moment running to ruin ( many of tbem , per . haps , scarcely believing It !) with railway celerity . Nearly one-half the great business mea of seven yean ago , ono , are now ' bo where '—and hundred ! of others _bsve scaled down into tbe position of mere huckster- , or stationary pedlars . It it sad to walk Dame Street , GraftoR Street , _Sackrllle Streot , Mary Street , Henry Street , C . pel Street , and Parliament Street , and to reckon all tbe shut-up homes , _badged with ' ro let , '

      ¦ nd then peep Into the few _ahopi still open , and mark tbe cold-looking piles of dusty goods , with nobody look log about tbem but . their _pale-ftced and half heart _, broken proprietors . And tbe streets I have enumerated are itlll tbe criok itreets of Dablld . Many others , three or fonr years ago not Inferior to these , are nearly _deiefted . For _lostAtie * , Castle Street , Chris * Chore * * , Piece , High Street , the two Bridge Streets , New Row , Franois Street , and Thomas Street , are quickly verging towards a level with tbe loog . ralned _lanet and alleyi of the Liberty I' But about the latter extensive quarter of our city I will say little , ai I never remember to bave seen It bat poor , decayed , and tending to utter rain _. However , it wis not until thoie days that * utter rain' did fall on tht unfortunate ' Liberty , ' Bat now it bat fallen , and It wonld be a mercy to lome 20 , 000 of itt wretched dwellers If cholera , or lomi other destroyer , would remove them by wholesale Into eternity < I ire . _qaeotly make _c ramble through tha more open quarters

      of ' the Liberty '—ai the Coombe , Ntw Market , Utatu Street , South Earl Street , _Thomei Court , Tripoli , _BrAbszon Street , and _Plmttao—and I _tom-stlmti enter the houses let as 'tenements , ' to the wretehtd creature ! who ess procure no better lodging . Here I am astonished ob all handi . The gigantic , old-fashioned bouses , with tbeir lofty stories , massive and ricbJy . wrooght frames , aad balustrades of _roabogany and oak , tbeir expansive chambers and broad cbiranles , bespeaking them to have beea once tho abodes of wealth , luxury , and taate , Ay , tbt * 8 _tbiugl astonish me—aad then , when I look en ths fqoaHd groups of human beings living , or ratber dying , in those bleak , and _dooriess , and wlndowless apartments—and wben I gaze on the bare , dirty walls , and the naked fireplace , and the invariable wisp of putrid straw , stowed away in the corner , I am doub _' y astonished to know bow human be ' _ngs can exist , mouth after month , and year after year , in such _brntaltstcg misery .

      And this is one of tbe plotum ef Dublin ! But turn into one of the' fashionable' quarters—and though you will see long rows of well-trimmed habitation ! , and gaily-decked heads aad browi peeping from the windows , etlll all without betokens the progress of the general rnln . Here comes a long train of soldiers from their parade—their Saxon array , tbeir clanking armi , thtir rattling music—yea , tbe very tramp of tbeir foot _, steps oa the pavement , teeming to utter proud defiance to tbe ilsister-loohing wretcbei who stand to curse them _, selves and their masters as they piss . And there ls a pair of infantile ballad-singers , chaantlng , in querulous and fret zing tones , the old sonrs ofthe _coaatry— * _Eringo-Bragh , ' 'The land of the West , ' and 'Home , Sweet Home - / _whilrtup comes a _bulWog _pollctimBn , snd , with his recently acquired Saxonlsh impudence , orders tbem to ' mora on ' or se will drag them to the _itation-hoBie I And the famished tremblers do ' move on , ' and the burly _policeman ' moves on ' too , but e & couottis many other similar ' nuisances' before be arrives at bis ' bait . '

      And tbis is another ploture of Dablin ! Bit I must close my exhibition ef such pictures until a future op . portunlty . The accounts from the mral districts are still more terrific ! Monster , Conoaught , and a considerable por . tlen of _Leineter , are now more completely revolutionised than If the' Confederates' had been successful , and were after driving the Saxon , root tnd branch , out of the kingdom ; society ls all bat utterly dismembered , and excepting _itlpendlatleiQf the government , it wonld be difficult to find anybody who it not on the verge of pauperism . I know parties who , tne or three years ago , kept a retinae ot servants , hunters , carriages , Ac , that are now without a four-footed beast on tbeir land , and obliged to exist on a icsity allowance cf rje or

      Indian meal , I know gentlemen , who , a short time ago , were considered wealthy , tbat ara now eagerly iteklng any menial offioe In tfae Poor Lawi , or Excise , or any other department where a pound can be earned , . The squirearchy ate Blmest ai badly off as the peasantry—Indeed , generally speaking , tbey are worse , for the poor peasant ( _atfclm _. self would iay , ) is' used to tht misery , and io were hit forefathers before him . '' Bat this ii partially wrong . Tbere never wat _genuiae misery la Ireland until now . Hitherto , when 'failures' came or 'the _eicknen waa brief , ' potr Paddy had a resource . The' priest , ' or ths ' mlnisther , ' or tho ' squire atthe big bouse , ' afforded relief , and were there nobody but bis aelgbbour pea . _ttntry , hli children would not go to bed hungry , and if

      hia wife died ahe would net be buried without' a wake ' snd a coffin . Now all this li over 2 Paddy may starve , and neither print , nor minister , nor squire , aor farmer , nor peasant , can relieve him . All are in want them . ieIrei , _*» moit of tbem absolutely rained , and nobody able or willing to give a sixpence In charity , ' Go to tbe poor-house' ii how the cry , and if tht poor-house oeuld admit all who claim and wautlti shelter , It _wsuld bs well enough . _Butjthls ls out of the question . Thera would be a p _3 _or-bouie required now in every parish in the south and weit , and wherever tbere is a _population of 1000 , there weuld be feund 900 claimants for the shei . ter of tbt poor-houie . Thli It no overdrawn picture . I know the situation of the people as well as any man , aad In England none oould conceive the terrific reallts .

      _Tbenewslntbltcltyltvery _trifUag . . lord William _Filijeraid '! association for promoting the annual hilion of Parliament in Dablin , met last Thursday . This project itemi to have few abetters In this country , and I have little confidence that it will ever become popular with the people . The Roman Catholio olergy bave nothing to do with it ; the true Wh _' . _gt and Toriei and Cjnsetvatlvei eschew It ; acd as for Ihe Repealer * of all shades , they wash their hands »{ it entirely . Lord Willlnm , I think , will labour in vela In hts well-meant but very equivocal agitation _.

A thousand voices roared forth 'Hurrah for the gallant Slkbil' 'Dp , up , with the yellow banner again 1 ' ' The _Sntlej and more luok to It ; ' whilst again and again , thundering cheers were given for'Smith O'Brien , Thomas Franois Meagher , and onr * Irish friends , at home and abroad !'
