      . COCET OT QTTKE ^' S BENCH . This court presented a "very animated appearance . Trhelzwjen' benches were completely occupied , and the 3 nner bar was crowded with the yonng barristers about to be called . A strong force of police was stafoned in the hall , and at the doors of the courts , ' to preserve . order . Da- * id Charles Latonche , Esq ., high-sheriff of the city of Dnblin , and Ciiarlea Cofebe , Jan ., high-sheriff ef the county , were in attendance . The City Grand Jury was then called over . The names of Messrs . Grogan sad Gregory , the sitting membsrs having been called and not answering , the list was then commenced again and called npon a fine of £ 20 . At one o ' cl « ck , Mr . Justice Barton entered the ctnrt , and Judge Perrin left . The Attorney-General , Mr . Brawafcer , QG .-, and Mr . "Wniie-ide , < i-C ^ attired hi their long dress wigs , entered the court .

      The county panel was then called , and upwards of sixty gentlemen answered to their names . Gesrge Frederick Brooke , Esq ^ being called upon to act as foreman of the City Jury , Bald be had an objection to serve in that capacity . Bench—What is your objection ? Mr . Brooke—From my official duties in the Bank of Ireland , I -would very much prefer not being called upon to act as foreman . I have no objection to serve ai a grand juror . Hr . Ford observed the first of the county members could be called . The Attorney-General said there should be no interference with the jury . ¦ It was then arranged to go to the next name , and 2 &t . latonche was called for that purpose . 3 fr . latonche not answering ,

      The Attorney-General rose , and said that he conceived the ordinary course ahonJfl be pursued in fh' » instance , and that Mr . Brooke should serve as foreman . _ Ix . Brooke tras then failed upon , and took tie oath as foreman . The following then ' formed the joy - — George F . Breeke , Esq ., Robert W . law , Etq . foreman . Patrick Waldron , Esq .

      Mr . T . B . C Smith , Attorney-General ; Mr . Serjeant Greene , Solicitor-General ; and Mr . Brewster , Queen ' s Counsel , of Counsel for the Crown against Messrs . O * Co __ e _ and the other persons prosecuted , having trken their places , Judge Bnrton proceeded to deliver the Charge , which was listened to throughout with the most profound attention and the deepest anxiety by the whole of the crowded court The learned Judge was particularly earnest and emphatic in his address . At the conclusion of the learned Judge ' s charge , ¦ which occupied about half an hour in its delivery , The Attorney-General rose , and Intimated that the jpfuwumfinpn on winch the indictments were founded ¦ would be ready to be laid before the Grand Jury at any hour to-morrow which might suit their convenience , from half-past ten o'clock , and that the witnesses 'would also be in attendance at any hour determined on , for the purpose of being cross-examined by the Jury ,

      Mr .: Hatchell , Queen ' s Counsel ( fer the defence ) , addressed the Bench , and said he thought it right to state thai the parties accused were in attendance with their -witnesses and recognizances , it being the first day of term , ss their bail-bonds required , in case that any order should be made on the subjeet . The Attorney-General said tbey were bound to be present not en the first day only , but from day to day till called upon . Hi . BaiebeH acquiesced , and the Crown officers having received an intimation from the Jury that eleven o ' clock would be a convenient hour , they appointed ffr ** - time for laying the billa before them . The parties then retired , juad Jndge Bnrton left the b-ich , but returned aleng irith the lord Chief Justice and Justice Crampton and Perrin in a few moments .

      X 5 T 0 B 31 AIIO 5 S AGATSST THE GeTEKSJtENT _ EPOB . TE _ . j The Judges having bowed to the bar and taken their j Kata upon die bench , ' lord Chief Justice Pennefather asked the Solicitor- ; General if he had any motion to make , and having I received a reply in the negative , made the samein- ' qnfry of - i Mr . MSDonongh , Queen ' s Counsel , who rose and said that , on behalf of Mr . R . Barrett , he then applied to their lordships in order that an officer of that Court ( Mr . Bourne ) miaht ie compelled to receive certain ^ RdavitB in thVmatter of " Barrett v . Hughes , " for ' perjury . These affidavits were tendered for the purpose -of procuring on them , from their lordships , a quasi tRoxdamus to the magistrates of the police courts , to compel them to receive information , which , on certain

      jttcoliar grounds , they , had deemed it -right to refuse . __ eee affidavits were thirteen in number . When tendered to the proper officer of that Court , that they Bright "be doly sworn to , that person had refnsed to receive thtm ,-alleging they were of the nature of informations . 2 fow ; he { Mr . _ t * Donoug _) contended that it was quite beyond-the Crown clerk' s dnty to decide upon their nature stall , and that he had no right whatever to deny justice , to any of the Queen ' s subjects by refusing to aasptthen ; and thus their lordships would jsee . that there ws&a plain legal question mined , on which deci--Xon would be easy . In answer to an inquiry from the lord Chief Justice , Mr- IKDsnongh stated that there had been no notice ^ ven to-thetGrown of their present stop , and that he ~»_ ji do affidavits to move the Court on . His comp _ £ nt was ti _ £ Ox proper officer would not allow any -to be sworn .

      The Court was of opinion tba * " M ** M'DoDough merely made the application to c tnnpel the effieer to receive the affidavits without rt terenee to -ulterior measurea , and that the parties en tering the affidavits made thtm at their proper peril , tb > *** <» nld be na objection to ordering the officer to rec * « TO them ,- which they ruled accordingly .

The Crown have availed themselves of the services of both these able lawyers . Hr . Napier is junior counsel for the prosecution .. Five O'CLOCK .. —The Jury have just adjourned over till to-morrow , having onl y completed the reading of the first count in the indictment . The case of "The Queen , on the prosecution of Richard Barrett v . Frederick Bond Hughes , " came again before the Court of Queen ' s Bench this morning , when several persons , amongst whom were Mr . John O'Connell , M . P ., the Rev . Mr . Tyrrell , Mr . Steele , Mr . Ray , lira . Barrett , Dr . Grey , * c swore affidavits in open Court , as a preliminary step before applying for a mandamus to compel the magistrates of College-street Policeoffice to receive informations sustaining a charge of perjury again&t the defendant Dublin , November 4 .

      From an early hour this morning a considerable crowd had collected round the avenues leading to the Courts , and remained there with most exemplary patience throughout the day in the vain hope of learning the fete of the bills under the consideration of the Grand Jury . A very strong party of police are on duty , not only in the Courts , but in the streets immediately adjoining ; so that the utmost order and regularity prevail . The Grand Jury assembled at eleven o ' clock , and remained in consultation till abont half-past twelve , at which period all eyes in Court were directed towards the Grand Jury Room , the door of which was opened .

      The foreman { Mr . Brooke ) advanced to the front of the box amid breathless silence , and after a brief pause , public expectation was doomed to disappointment by his saying that " Thereappeared to be a clerical error in the fourth count of the indictment , in which the names of two parties , Thomas Tiemey and Petei James Tyrrell , should be mentioned . These names appeared in that count as Thomas Tierney and Peter James Tierney , the word ' Tierney' being substituted for TyrrelL' Some of the jury thought it was a clerical error , and wished to have Tyrrell * inserted in the proper place , irstead of Tierney ; ' and he wished to know if he should hand the bills down to be altered ?"

      The Chief Justice—You had better , if you please . Has Mr . Tyrrell any connsel in court ? Mr . M'Danough . —I am counsel for Mr . Tyrrel , my Z-ord . The Chief Jnstioe—Do you make any objection ? Mr . M'Donongh—I object on the part of Mr . Tyrrell to that bill being now meddled ^ with . It . is given in charge to the Grand Jury , and it is for them to ignore it or find it , as they think light , and I object to my client's name , Tyrrell , being put into that indictment The Foreman observed that the mistake had only occurred in one count

      The Chief Justice—All the other counts are right ? The Attorney-General—I apprehend there can be do donbt abont it , and 1 will not trouble the Court Mr . Brewster ( to the Attorney-General )—The Court has a right to it The Attorney-General—Yes , the Court has a right . Mr . Hatchell , Queen ' s Counsel—They can withdraw the indictment if they please , my lords , but they cannot amend it in court The Chief Justice—This being a misdemeanour , if Mr . Tyrrell or his counsel consented to the alteration it could be made , but if he does not—The Atcorney-General—I apprehend there is nothing to be done , my lord , hut for the officer to amend the clerical mistake In the indictment , and hand it back to the Grand Jury , the billa uot having- been found- by the Grand Jury yet

      Mr . M'Donough—may I beg to ask the learned Attorney-General what has the officer of the court to amend by ? What authority or knowledge , official or judicial , has Mr . Bourne of what name should be in the indictment ? The Chief Justice—The informations . Mr . M'Donough—I submit that the learned Attorney-General must produce some authority to justify that course . The Chief Justice—It is an indictment founded on information . This is a clerical error , and they have the informations to correct it

      Mr . M'Donongh—I don't think that this can be considered as the work of the Crown ; it is the Queen ' s Attorney-General in person that prosecntes here . He had the preparation of the indictment , and , doubtless , prepared it with great propriety and skill , and sent it to the Grand Jury . It is given to the Grand Jury to dispose of it ; and I know of no law that enables the Clerk of the Crown to amend it The Attorney-General—I am nnder the apprehension that Mr . M'Donongh is acting as amicus curim here ; if sot , he win be good enough to band in his licence to appear for Mr . TyrrelL ( This demand cf the Attorney-General created a considerable sensation in court ) Mr . M'DosorGH—I was under the impression that the licenses had been obtained in all cases before 2 took retainers .

      Mr . Cantwell ( agent for Mr . Tyrrell )—1 have obtained the licence . The Attorney-General—Then produce it Mr . Cantwell—I have the licence , but it is not in court , but I pledge myself that 3 have it , and I am much surprised that the Attorney-General should make that statement Mr . M'Donough—I did not accept the retainers antil I was told the licenses were taken out Mr . Close said he was also counsel for Mr . Tyrrell , and was proceeding to address the Court , but Mr . Cantwell said , —My client , my lord , calls npon Mr . M'Donough in this Conrt , and claims to have his assistance in this Court , having obtained the Queen ' s letters of license I now call upon Mr . M'Donough to act for him . It is monstrous to make such an objection .

      Mr . M'Donongh said , there was no donbt about the license having been obtained . He had 5 knowledge of the licenses in the several other eases , bnt not in this particular case ; but he was sure the gentlemen would be satisfied with the word of the attorney . Mr . Brewster said , that as Mr . Cantwell stated the license was obtained , they "were satisfied . Mr . M'Donongh then called upon the Attorney-General to produce an authority authorising the course of proceeding he proposed to take . The Attorney-General contended , that counsel for a party eould not be heard before th » indictment was found , and submitted that Mr . M'Donongh or any other counsel had no Tight to be heard on the part of Mr . Tyrell at this stage of the proceedings . Mr . M'Donough said , the Attorney-General had stated that he ought not to be beard , bat the Court would recollect that it had called upon him .

      The Chief Justice—I dare say the irregularity is attributable to me . Mr . Brewster—But if Mr . M'Donomb goes on further , the irregularity will be his from this moment The Chief Justice said , the Court were of opinion , that in this state of the proceedings this eould not be properly called a bill of indictment ; It was no « neh thing unta the judgment of the grand jury was passed on it , and until then it was merely a proceeding Bent np to the grand jury , on the part of the Crown , by ths Attorney-General , through the hands of th 6 Clerk of the Crown . At present there was no third person who had a right to be feeard in it at all , and if the Attorney-Gsnerai was desirous to have that mistake rectified , the Court wonld give him full permission to do it , or tbey might do so without asking the Court at alL

      The Clerk of the Crown then erased the word " Herney" in the fourth connt , where it was inserted in-Bleat ] of " Tyrrell , " and the word " Tyrrell" was substituted for it . The Attorney-General then applied to have the word " affirmation" introduced into the opening of the counts- Since the Jury was sworn tbey found that one of them belonged to the Society of Friends , and that rendered the alteration necessary . The indictment commenced—* 'Ana the Jnrora of onr lady the Queen , on their oaths , present , '' &c whereas it should be— "And the Jurors of our lady the Queen , on their oaths and affirmation , present , " it Hs wished to have it made , lest any objection should be made to the indictment hereafter . He referred to a case recently decided in England in snpport of the application . The Chief Justice—I object to the Court being called upon to make an order on the subject let the Crown take any course they think right

      The Attorney-General—We want no order , bnt as we cannot go into the jury-room we want an authority to have the bill brought down to be amended . The Chief Justice . —We will give leave to the Grand Jury to hand back the bill to the Clerk of the Crown . At this hour the Jury have only got through the reading of the to a count in the indictment All toe witnesses are attendance , bnt there is no probability of their being examined this day . From the obstroefcwe means already adopted for the psrpose of proeraetiaating the proceedingSjit is very likely that all the witnesses { twenty-six in number ) will not only be examined , but cross-examined ; and if such shoald tnrn out to be the fact , he would be a close calculator who could same the precise day when a decision shall be come to by the Jury .

      Meanwhile the Crown does-not stand wholly acquitted from its fair share of blame in the transac ' . ion . The bare fact of substituting one name for . \ nother in their bill of indictment suggests the idea of tLerebeing some very reprehensible carelessness in more ijyuartera i ^ jjan one , Fobs o'clock . —The witnesses in attendance- »• ceuved an intimation , about half-past two o'clock , that th&b presence wonld not be required , with the except ton of fcwe of them , who -were summoned for croaa-examin . v boaiorthwith

      Untitled Article

      Indictment , described yesterday , form the town-talk . The circumstance most remarked upon is , that a Grand Jury should for the first time , perhaps , in the annals of criminal jurisprudence , come in to assiit a prosecution . The Jury , possibly , were fully waraDted in the course they took , but the circumstance is worth notice for its great levity . When the Grand Jnry adjourned , shortly before five o'clock yesterday afternoon , they had examined but one witness , namely , Mr . Vernon , the registrar of the Stamp-office , whose depositions were merely technical , respecting the registry of the proprietors ot the Pilot , Treemah's Journal , and the Nation .

      The general opinion seems to be , that no decision will be come te by the Jury before Wednesday evening , In which case , should the bills be found , it is supposed that on Friday thecounsel for the defence will apply for additional time to plead—say eight days , instead of four , the period specified by the Act ; grounding the application on the fact of the indictments sent before the Grand Jury containing a vast mass of evidence not included in the original informations npon which the accused parties were held to bail . Of course the Crown will not oppoea the motion , bo that between the extra time allowed for pleading , and the seven days' notice of trial , the term will have well nigh expired , Saturday , ' the 25 th , being the Iaet day . Under such circumstances , the chanceB would seem to be that the trials will be postponed till the ensuing term .

      There is , however , the possibility of another event , which would materially affect these speculations . It might be that the Grand Jaty , ot the majority of them , would , after the examination of a few of the leading witnesses ( and this is the general practice ) , consider that sufficient evidence had transpired to warrant them in coming to a conclusion as to the finding or ignoring the bills . In this case " obstruction" could be of no avail , provided the majority are of opinion that it has been already exercised to a legitimate extent , to say the least of it A decision of thia nature would materially abridge the proceedings . Dablin , Nov . 6 .

      The City Grand Jury resumed the examination of witnesses this morning , and are at this hour ( four o'clock ) still occupied . There have been some discussions amongst the members of the Jury aa to the mode of examination adopted , several of them objecting to the minuteness of the inquiries respecting the newspaper extracts quoted in the indictments , and the comparisons instituted between those extracts and the Stamp Office copies of the newspapers from which they purport to have been taken . It is not at all probable that the Grand Jury will announce their finding before to-morrow , or the day after—poBsibly not so

      soon . Several of the officers and constables summoned up from the country have been examined at the Crown Solicitor's office . I have beard that none of them have as yet made any depositions ; but they have been directed to remain in town for the present Several of the country constables nowhere made no attempt at taking reports of speeches at the meetings , and , on being questioned by the Crown Solicitor , they said they had nothing to tell , unlea » that there were a great multitude at the meetings . Five O'CLOCK .. —At five o ' clock the Grand Jury adjourned until to-morrow . They merely completed the evidsnee of Mr . Vernon , Registrar of the Stampoffice , who had a small cart load of files of newspapers for thoMnspection of the jury .

      There is a complete uncertainty as to the time the Jury will announce their finding . New difficulties are experienced at every turn . It has become a sort of proverb in the courts that " a long indictment is dangerous . "

      MR . FKEDBKICK BOND HUGHES . Mr . M'Donagh applied , at about half-past three o'clock this day , for a mandamus from the court , to compel the magistrates of College-street Police-office to receive the informations tendered te them on the 20 th of October hist , with a view to found an indictment for perjnry against Mr . Frederick Bend Hughes . Counsel supported his application by setting forth the facts as they occurred at the police-office , with which our readers are already familiar . He stated that a prima fade case of perjury having been made before the magistrates , they were , of right and law , coerced to receive them , and that their discretion could alone be exercised upon the merits , upon which the mesistrates declined to pronounce an opinion . Mr . M'Denagh cited a number of authorities in support of his proposition . Judge Perrin inquired why bills of indictment were not sent before the Jury at the cemniinsion ?

      Mr . M'Donongb said , because they could not get the original informations to send before the Jury without an order from the court , and that they could not apply to the court without having the informations sworn in the first instance . He continued to press a number of authorities on the consideration of the bench . The Chief Justice—Why not send your bill of indictment before the present Grand Jury ? Mr . M'Donough—We are quite ready , my lord , to accept the offer of the court ; all we want is justice . The Attorney-General here rose , and after briefly applying himself to the law argument ot Mr . M'Donough , said—My lords , ! do not want to prevent the bill of indictment going before the Grand Jury , but I do want to prevent the public mind from being prejudiced by improper commentary and discussion , which 1 la

      my conscience believe is the object which the parties who are now making this application desire to accomplish ; I wish to prevent the * administration of justice from being improperly tampered with . My lords , this has been attempted , and most unwarrantably attempted , by a portion of the public press , and every exertion bos been made to create a prejudice in the public , mind , and this discussion is a part and parcel of the proceedings instituted so as to prevent the Jury before whom parties will have to answer if the bills are found , from coming calmly and deliberately te the performance of their duty . My lords , without predicating anything—without imputing guilt to any parties at present—it will be iay duty , if the bills now before the jury are found , to expose to the country , when I come to optn the case , aa wicked and as dangerous a conspiracy as ever was fo rmed against ths peace and tranquillity of the empire . * *

      [ This observation excited a profound sensation ] My lords , the learned counsel , Mr . M'Donough , has said that there might be a failure of justice if Mr . Hughes -wm not made now amenable to justice , by reason of his habitual residence in a foreign country . Mi . M'Donough—I beg pardon—I said in another country . The Attorney-General—I do not impute to my learned Friend that he conceives England to be a foreign country ; but , doubtless , from reading his instructions , and making himself acquainted with the case of his

      clients , hiB mind has been imbued with their sentiments , and be was led : hastily to use the language of others , and denominate England as a foreign country . I beg ; my lords , in conclusion , emphatically to oppose the manstrous proposition which Mr . M'Donongh wished to establish—a proposition which would enable the parties charged in the indictment to become witnesses in their own case , and convert a prisoner on his trial into a prosecutor , let the present bills be disposed of , and then let any indictment tbey please go before the Grand Jury .

      The Court conferred together , and the Chief Justice directed thai after the bills now before the Jury should be either found or ignored , Mr . Barrett should be at liberty to prefer his indictment against Mr . Bond Hughes .

      COUNSEL FOB THE TRAVERSERS . The bad temper displayed by the Attorney-General on Saturday in demanding the licence of Mr . M 'Donougb , one of the counsel for the traversers , is the theme of every tongue , and Conservatives , as well aa liberals , are free in their condemnation of the petty spirit displayed in so technical and , as it proved , so totally unwarrantable an objection . Altogether , the conduct of the Crown , in regard to the counsel for the defence , is totally indefensible . After Mr . Henn had been retained for Mr . John O'Connell , and bis licence obtained at the Castle by Mr . Mahony , solicitor for that gentleman , the Attorney-general claimed the services of Mr . Henn , as a Queen ' s counsel . A correspondence is now in progress on the subject , between the Attorney-General and Mr . Henn , who , I have heard , is still determined to act for the traversers , unless the Crown should actually cancel bis licence .

      Mr . H . Martley , Queen ' s connsel , a near relative of Mr . Biackbnrne , Master of the Rolis , has been retained for the traversers .

      TRIAL AT BAR . It is stated to-day that the Attorney-General intends te apply for a trial at bar in the state prosecutions . His object is , if possible , to secure a trial in the sittings after the present term ; and it is said that the Court of Queen ' s Bench possesses the power , under an old act , to direct a trial at bar , before the full Court , within a certain number of days after the finding of a bill by a grand jury , Bnd the completion of the pleadings in the case .

      GOVERNMENT INFORMERS . The Evening Post haa an article in its last publication headed— " Who is the Traitor ? " which has reference to some rumours that are afloat of treachery on the part of certain persons who have ingratiated themselves into the secrets—if there ate any—of the Repeal Association , and then sold their information to the Government The Cork Southern Reporter intimates as much as that such treason is euspected in ita locality ; and the Post says , " We have heard as mnch . "

      This is a very delicate subject , and one with which we have no desire to meddle till we have undoubted evidence of such vlllanoua conduct before us . We shall only say that if there is one crime more detestable , mere infamous , more worthy of universal scorn and execrat ion than another , it is the crime of the ruffian who first , under the semblanco of co-operation , worms Himself into the confidence of another , and then , for u < crc ' s sake , betrays that confidence . We repeat we have no evidence to justify us in beiev / og—first , that the Repeal Association had any ecref" * to betray—or , secondly , that any of its members lave at'ted traitorouely .

      THE " REBEOCA" MOVEMENT I SOTJ ^ H WALES . ( From our own Correspondent . J The prognostications of the Editor of the Star have been verified ; the primitive people of South Wales , whom oppression , exaction , and poverty bad goaded on to acts of outrage and riot , have now feeen attempted to be held in awe , and ] to be restrained from carrying their wild ideas of remedial and retributive justice into effect , by the array of the formidable legal proceedings , which the governing powers of this country have at their command . The Editor of the Star long since foretold that these disturbances would end "IN THE DOCK ! IN THE TRANSPORT SHIP I ! if not UPON THE scaffold !! " and the ! event haa proved that he was

      correct in the prophecy . ) Now , without assuming either the guilt or innocence of the parties , your correspondeufc feels himself called , npon to aaya word or two as to the means by which the Government secured the conviction of the prisoners who were recently tried before the Special Commission . Some days prior to the opening of [ such Commission , your correspondent saw a letter from a leading Chartist of Mertbyr Tydvil , in which the writer communicated the information that the jurors who were selected from that locality , were , to a man , the lick-spittles of the aristocracy . The event proved that out friend -waB right ; for , when Mr . M . D . Hill , counsel for the prisoner , challenged the whole array of the panel , and in so many words flatly charged the high-sheriff of the county with gross

      partiality in the selection of the jury , no denial ot the troth of the statement was even attempted , bat the objection was got over by a legal quibble , in the shape of a " demurrer . " This demurrer alleged that the charge was of t ) o general a nature ; as it ought to have set forth particular instances of partiality , in order that tbese might be put in issue . Now , it was well known that no time had been afforded to the prisoners , or this counsel , to make out any such case ; as they were only furnished with the list of jarymen on the morning of the day that the trial took place . Yet the court in their matter decided against them , and admitted the demurrer to be good in law . If proof were wanting that we have one law for the rich , and another for the poor , or that the vaunted justice ot English jurisprudence can

      only be obtained at an enormous cost , the present case would establish j the fact beyond the possibility of surmise or doubt . Here we have a man put upon his trial on a charge which may subject him to transportation for life ; jit la urged on hia behalf that the law of the land has been violated , by those who are sworn to administer its ] provisions ; and before the prisoner can obtain the advantage to which , in justice , this plea should entitle him , he has to carry the case into another court and at ja ruinous expense , in order to decide whether or no his trial has been conducted according to law . These ; expenses are of such a nature that even those who are " learned in the law" cannot hazard a guess at -what may be their amount ; but when

      your readers give a glance at the following formidable array of " coats , " they will be able to form some opinion of the price of justice ! The expences in the Crown Office , ( calculated at about £ 20 ) , the costs of the Writ of Error , the Memorial to the Attorney-General to allow it , the costs of returning the Writ by the Clerk of the Peace , or Clerk of Arraigns of Indictments , and then the " costs '' of the Habeas to bring up the prisoner to assign errors , and the travelling expenses of the prisoner and his guardians for ! that purpose . Add to all this " the fets for counsel , " and that most comprehensive of all items , " incidental ; expenses , " and they may see , with half an eye , that ; justice is truly a pearl of great price . i

      But I have not yet done with the case of these prisoners ; for I see by the Cambrian , of last Friday ' s date , that they have been prevailed upon to subscribe a document , which is cantingly styled a CONFESSION . Without alluding to -the wording of that document , which clearly proves that it is not the production of partially educated meuj , almost wholly ignorant of the language in which it is couched ; or its phraseology , in which the slime of parsonocracy is abundantly evident ; I conflua my remarks to the principle of extorting CONFESSIONS from criminals in their position . A drowning man will grasp at a straw ; but it would be evidently cruel to place this straw within his reach , to

      indues him to forego his hold upon a firmer support . These prisoners may justly be likened unto men in a drowning state ; yet they have been induced , or permitted , to forego their hold to a certain extent upon the protection which their case ( as yet undecided ) entitled them to expect from the laws of their country ; in order to lay hold off the feeble hope of mercy , which such recantation or confession might be supposed to engender in the bosoms of their rulers . Such conduct might harmonize with the spirit of a Star Chamber or Inquisition ; but it ill accords with the finespun theories which are daily dinned into our ears , about the merciful spirit of the ! laws of England .

      While this commission was going on at Cardiff , . we had another , to enquire into the erievanees of the farmers , Bitting at Carmarthen . The . afiuir was opened by the Right Hon . Thos . Frankland lewis reading the Royal Warrant authorising the peformance ; but from that day to the present not a single circumstance has been permitted to transpire . It is understood , however , that they instituted a searching investigation into the administration of the various toad trusts ; and that sundry instances of jobbery are being sifted to the bottom . $

      The spirit of insubordination is aa strong as ever ; but the overwhelming amount of physical force for a time is likely to keep ii in abeyance . The tactics of the " Beccas" seem also to have undergone a change ; for whilst the processions ; of armed bodies throughout the country at midnight have decreased , the number of incendiary flrea have multiplied . Since I last wrote you there have been no fewer than eleven of these ; and in general to be attributed either to the farmer having taken his land over the head of a former tenant , or some instance of oppression practised by the landlord , towards some or other of his tenantry .

      One fire , however , deserves to be particularly noticed ; that was the conflagration of the mansion of Sir John Guest , M . P ., for Merthjr . Thia had been undergoing a partial alteration , and a new wing had been added to the building ; and ] if the worthy VI . P . had not a kindly welcome to his nbW abode , he had at all events a house-warming to celebrate bis return . By the bye , the active part which this gentleman has taken in the recent trials haa added very muchj to his unpopularity , so that steps are being ] taken to bring forward an opponent at the next general election—no milk-and-water half-and-half , but a regular out and out supporter of the Charter ; and the ! probability is that « he will be returned . i

      The rural police are being drilled daily in the manual and platoon exercise ; and a beautiful hobble-de-hoy of a drill they make of it . One of the superintendents of this force was waited upon a short time ago by " Old Becca , " who warned him that it he were in South Wales in a fortnight hence , he should have no mercy . One of the london police was fired upon last night at Poaty-berem , when he contrived to make his heels save his bacon . f On the occasion of a disinterested friend of William Chambers , Esq . taking a requisition paper round for thia

      signature at Davilly , ^ vhere gentleman had until lately lived , and , as was said by some , expended " his ample fortune , " and by others had extracted the utmost rent from an impoverished tenantry ; the requisition soliciting him on the part of the subscribers to stay in the country , after a voluntary exile from the troublesome turbulence of the 'Beccas of the district ; toe wag told the astonished dunner he had a double voice to give : — I *« One voice to stay , Another to go , And then to' slay' away •"

      The consequence has been that the dolorous gentleman has taken the hint , and is now about to sell his Btock , < 3 c& to go on his travels . A Justice ih Jeopardy . —An odd stery has just gone round some parts of Carmarthenshire , that a 'pikeman was about to layjan information against a Justice for demolishing his " tplunder-station" ; for that he had seen him on the top of the roofs ; and that , although disguised , he looked the same old woman he always did ; there was no mistaking him . A brother Justice reprehended the irreverent : toll-plunderer into fretful silence '

      REPEAL ASSOCIATION—MONDAY . The usual weekly meeting of this body was held to - day at ttie Conciliation Hull , Corn Exchange Rooms-The attendance was very numerous . At one o ' clock , Patrick Lswler , Esq ., Trinakill , Queen ' s County , was called to the chair . The Chairman said this was an awful crisis . These were certainly portentous times —( hear , hear ) . The efforts of the Government at present were used to prevent the free expression of opinion of eight millions of people ; bat they might as well try to turn back the ocean , as to prevent the will of eight millions of people being legitimately exercised for obtaining any object they sought—( bear , hear , aqd cheers ) .

      Mr . Clements moved the suspension of the standing order , to enable him to propose a resolution , which he knew would be carried by acclamation . It was upon a subject which was peculiar in itself—a subject which must be broached before Mr . O'Connell arrived in that room—he meant the coming collection of the O'Connell Compensation Fund—( deafening applause ) . After proceeding at considerable length to comment on the subject of his motion , the Learned Gentleman concluded by moving the following resolution : —

      " That the Loyal National Repeal Association holds it as a paramount duty , at this moment , to apply all ita means and influence to the successful furtherance ot the national collection for the O'Connell Compensation Fund , fixed for Sunday , the 19 th instant On that occasion the members and associates of this national body are especially expected to co-operate , personally and energetically , with the respected and patriotic clergy of their several parishes , in securing re . suits for this imperative measuru worthy of the crisis and the cause . "

      Dr . Gray seconded the motion , which was spoken to iby Mr . John Reynolds , and carried by acclamation . ; Mr . Dobeny , from Tipperary , next addressed the association . He said that the county he came from would contribute at least £ 3 , 000 to the O'Connell tribute . ( Cheers . ) There was no shrinking in the heart of Tipperaiy . The proclamation had had no effect upou the people there . A Voice—No , nor here . ( Loud cheering . ) Mr . Steele , in speaking of the merits of O'Connell , alluded to the meeting that was announced for

      Clontarf , and said that had not that august individual been in Dublin , and warned the people to keep away from that meeting , there would have been a scene of carnage , frightful to contemplate . ( Hear , hear . ) Disdaining ,: said Mr . Steele , the proceedings that are taken against me by the Government , I declare that in my opinion , no act perpetrated under the diabolical Government of Castlereagh , Pitt , and Lord Clare , in !> 8 , to drive Ireland into a convulsion , was of such ghastly atrocity , as alluring ths people to destruction by the shortness of the notice of the proclamation—an intention so fiendish , that it would do dishonour to a demon . ( Sensation . )

      Mr . Clements said be must disclaim , upon his own part , and he was sure the association would join with htm , that the Government bad any intention whatever of alluring the people on that occasion to their destruction . —( Hear . ) All he attributed to the Government was neglect ( Hear . ) Mr . Steele said he would contend that that neglect was criminal . : At this stage of the proceedings , Mr . OCounell entered the Hall , and was most enthusiastically received . The Honourable Gentleman then handed in £ 106 from the law clerks , and moved a vote of thanks te them—( cheers ) . Mr . Ray read an address from that body to Mr .

      O'ConnelL After 1 several remittances had been announced , Mr . O'Connell rose to bring two matters before the Association ; one was of general importance , the other relatedjto him personally—the first was that tho words of Edmund Borku , which the Banner of Ulster selected for its motto , be adopted by the Association , namely , " That religion is the basis 0 / elvil society , and toe source of all good and comfort . " The other matter was a paragraph which had appeared in the Tablet newspaper , copied from the Cork Examiner , stating " that the Right Honourable Anthony Blake , late chief remembrancer , was the person who suggested hiB ( Mr . OConnell-s—arrest . " •• This , " said Mr . O'Cennell , "is a lie—such a thing is absurd" —( loud cheers ) .

      An Operative Tanner of Dublin handed in £ 8 17 & Mr . OConnell moved the thanks of the Association to Mr . Biggs , the Mayor of Leicester , who presided lately at a meeting in that town , at which resolutions were adopted sympathising with the Irish during the present prosecutions . Motion received and carried unanimously . Mr . Daffy , of the Nation , handed in £ 101 Repeal rent , £ 45 8 a of which was from Belfast , £ 14 from Strabane , and the rest from other places in the north of Ireland . Mr . J . O Connell handed in £ 31 16 s from Carlow . Mr . O'Connell banded in £ 28 for New York . Mr . D . O'Connell , Junior , read a draft of an address to the Queen , to be presented by each parish in Ireland . Mr . O'Connell moved its adoption . Motion carried .

      Mr . O'Connell then roce , and said the next thing they had to do was to adopt an address , which , with the permission of the Committee , he had prepared —( hear , hear ) . It woa , in fact , ah address to the Protestants of Ireland , though it purported to be an address to the entire of Ireland , for they were all equally interested In it —( hear , hear ) . That address touched upon the two objections that were made to Repeal—objections put forward by England more than once—repeated by his friend Joseph Sturge , and objections which had become the constant theme of opposition to Repeal . It was said that Repeal would produce two things—first , a dismemberment of the empire ; the other was Catholic ascendancy : and that addrBss denied that any sueh results could folio fir , and tbey based their denial on the

      fact that there was no dismemberment when the Irish Parliament was in full force , and that Catholio ascendancy would be utterly impossible —( hear , hear , hear ) . The Hon . and Learned Gentleman read an address to the people of Ireland , the adoption of which ho moved . It might be said that it reiterated matter that bad been spoken of before ; it certainly did , but it was his plan to reiterate his topics until they were fully impressed upon the public mind—( hear , bear ) . He would move that the committee be directed to warn the people of Ireland against committing any crime—they had come to the great crisis of their great experiment—an experiment to demonstrate that , by peaceable means the most beneficial alterations in human institutions could

      be obtained —( hear , bear , hear ) . If they adhered to perfectly peaceable means / he saw the certaintyJof carrying the Repeal . The Government might incarcerate him and others within four walls , but there were others to stand in their places—( hear , hear ) . Ireland had an excellent leader in the person of Mr . Smith O'Brien , who declared at the dinner given to him in the county of Limerick , that if to wish the liberty of Ireland was a conspiracy , he was a conspirator—( cheers ); The address was unanimously adopted . The rent for the week was announced to be £ 1 , 303 16 s 5 d . The Association adjourned until Monday next

      Extraordinary JIncenndury Fires in Denbighshire —On Wednesday night last , the out-buildings belonging to thirteen farm-houses ia Denbighshire were destroyed by an incendiary . In this extensive conflagration , one man lost his life , and seventeen head of cattle , in addition to a large quantity of farm produce , were destroy « d . j The houses were situated about nine miles from Corwen , in the villages of Llangwm and Cerrig-y-Droidioit The sufferers were all related to each other . A hoir frost having fallen , the track of the incendiary ' s feet was distinctly visible , and he was easily traced fiom one place to another . Several individuals followed the trail to Tyn-y-Cefn , where it disappeared in an outhouse . Search waa made ; but the f ugitve could not be found . The track wao again found

      and followed , but speedily lost Suddenly a fire burst out in the outhouse which the pursuers had been searching . As there ] was little wind the Bunes were easily extinguished . All the peasantry of the district were soon up in parsuit of the fugitive ; and , on Thursday night , an individual , who , it is not doubted , is the perpetrator of all thia diabolical and cruel mischief , was taken ] at Bala . His shoes have been compared with the footmarks , and they agree perfectly . He was seen the day before near the place where the fires commenced , although he denies having been anywhere in the neighbourhood . It seems he haa been holding out threats for some time . The first place which was fired was Gaer

      Genig ( occupied by W . Ellis , the prisoner ' s grandfather ) , where eight cattle were destroyed . The second place waa Groes Faen ( E . Jones ) . Mrs . Jones was his father ' s sister . This is the place where a young man lost bis life in attempting to save seven head ef cattle Mrs . Davies , the wife of John Davies , of Glan-y-goes , is bis father ' s sister . It eeeois that the miscreant passed several farm ' -yards without committing apy crime . Pen-y-graig , occupied by John Davies , is within about one hundred yards of his own father ' s house which he passed . The coroner ' s inquest on the poor fellow who lost his life in the flames was held yesterday ( Monday ) , when all the evidence would be brought forward . Our Llangollen correspondent says : — " The

      prisoner ' s name la Charles Jones ; he has just been . released fremRuthin gaol , and bis skin now bears the marks of the whipping , he received there . He wai . convicted for stealing ckoice frulfc , auch as apricots , 4 c Some of the farmers , whose live stock , hay , corn , < fcc . have been burnt , were on the jury who found bint guilty of the offence ; and others had refused to give him a good character on bis trial . Rumour says that ha protested that he would make them suffer for it The garden which he was convicted of robbing was situate at Maesmore , near Corwen . " Our Rathin correspondent informs us , that the prisoner was taken before the district magistrates at Cerrig-y-Druidion , and after an investigation , of two days , waa on Saturday last folly committed to take his trial at the next Denbighshire assizes . Parts of Iucifer matches , which he ia proved

      to have purchased on the evening previous to the fires , were found upon his person ; also a smock frock , belonging b a ' servant residing atlthe farm ; flrst set on fir ^ and which had been left in the barn . The footmarks were clearly traced from each farm ; and , when com * pared with bis shoes , * they corresponded in every way . The evidence ia very strong , and leaves not the smallest doubt of his guilt ; but at present it does not appeal tbat any other party was implicated with him in the commission of this crime . He is only tirenty-fone years of age , aad is a native of Cerrijgr-y-Druidfon . The chief constable , with a division of the Dapbighabittt police , promptly repaired to the scene of this disa * . trons occurrence , and remained in the neighbourhood untilthe prisoner was committed , when he was conveyed toRuthin gaol by two of them . Great excitement prevails iu that part of the country .
