      THE pTATR- TSIA 1 S . —QUEEN'S BENCH , j Dublin , Not . 9 . 2 £ i . justice Crampton sat this morning , at half-part tea o'clock , to hear motions of course . He rose shortly j After eleven o ' clock to meet the other Judgesin a Court ] of Error , -where iheii Xordshipa were occupied until i four o ' clock . In consequence of an intimation from the Attorney- - , General at the rising of the Court yesterday evening that it tu Mb intention to Bend up a fresh bill of indictment to the = Grand Jury against lonr of the par- i ties * implicated * - and the Jury hairing been directed to I

      be in attendance this morning , the Court and Hall : w £ re mnch crowded throughout the day by persons ! anxiously desirous ol ascertaining the nature . of the - charges laid in the new indictment , the names of the \ parties charged , and -whether the jnry , -who were i closeted all day , would find the bill . It was net until \ this hour ( quarter-pasf fenr o ' clock ) , and after the Jury j haa retired , that I ascertained that the indictment had sot been sent up , and that the Jury had been , occupied , all day -with fiscal business . The nature of the in- ' dictment has "not transpired . A rumour prevailed in ; the hall that it 1 b lor lugh treason , foanded on the ID- ; formation of" traitors from the Repeal camp . " Oiheis state as confidently that it 1 b for misdemeanour only .

      At half-past four o ' clock the Jutfes entered the Court . . j Hi . Heon , Q . C , then rose and raid , he had to apply : to the Gourt on behalf of Daniel O ' Connell , one of the ;

      txa-rersers , for liberty to compare Ms copy of the indictment -with the orginal bilL He moved en the affidavits of Mr . Ford , Mr . Cantwell , and Mr . Pierce Mahony , solicitors for several of the traversers . Messrs . Ford and Cantwell stated that , in performance of their duties , they attended in the offise of Mr . "Walter 'Bourne , at the hoar of eleven o ' clock in the forenoon of itis day , for the purpose of comparing a ccpy of the indictment fsund in * " * " » prosecution -with the original , and asked Mr . Bourae -would he allow the copy to bs cempared "with the said indictment ? Wherenjon Mr . Bourne stated that it was at his private residence in Harcourt-Btreet , and not in his office , and consequently it-c-culd noVhe compared . Messrs . Ford and Cantwell called again , hat Mr . Bourne told them he had it , 1 ml W / OB \ d not allow it to be compared with any of the « optes , having received directiens not to allow anything of the kind . Mr . Forth deposed that he

      then immediately addressed himself to Mr . Jl-m-¦ wfl « , Crown Solicitor , and asked him if he had given tosh , directions on the part of the Grown ? In reply , Mr . Kssnnis said he had given no such directions . Deponent further saith , that ' ; having conveyed to Mr . Bourne the reply of Mr . " K ^ m-mia , the former stated tiat he -would not allow ' any of them to be compared without an order from j the Conn for that purpose . Mr . Henn conSnned to gay , it is essentially necessary that befcre we plead we , should ascertain , beyond all doubt , that the copy we ! received is a trae and correct copy of the original j indictment ; for ahould it turn out that there was a material variance between tiieae copies famished to hs sad the feUl of indictment , onr demurrer would > e ruled , not according to the copy furniBked to us , but by tbeieeard of the Conrfc . Hie AttGmey-Gineral here entered the court , and :

      Tne ChiEf-JusSce informed him that an application ' fmfi been made upon behalf of Mr . O'Connell to have . one of ths copies of the indictment compared -with the i the original . ¦ ' Ths Attorney-General—I apprehend , my 'Lord , that ; the copies served by the clerk of the-Crown werei properly certified ; therefore , if that is the case , I do not feel that there is anything out of ths ordinary ! course to be done in this case , more than in any j -otter . Mr . Whitesde centended , that the travelers were ¦ sB legally entitled to have copies compared . Alters- ] tions had already been made in ihe indictment , and it was batter for fhfrjt to have eerrect copies of it , than ; to gel a wrong one , which would cause mistakes , and ' protract the proceedings- If the efficer certified that the document was a copy , it did not make it a true copy , sod Ms client had a rkbt to have it compared .

      The SalioitQr-&eneral remarked , that a certified copy was the same as a confirmed one , as it would noL be certified without comparing it . The Chief- Justice—I think there should be no objection to the present application . Let one copy be therelore compared , The Attorney-General would not further object ; but ha would call upon the Court to direct that nothing en- j darsed upon the back of the bill should be seen , as the ; traverasrs had so right to see the witnesses whose j names were sent to the Jury . They might compare one eopy with the clerk of the Crown , hut they had not a right even to handle the indictment . Mr . Henn did not want to do more than have Mb client ' s copy legally compared in the ordinary manner ; bat he submitted that the rale to plead should run from tins time the comparison was made . :

      Xhs Chisf Justice—This part of your application , 2 &X . Henn , is the snljecfc of another motion , and a motion < m notice , which ahould be given to the Attorney-General before you brfajg the matter befsre the Court The original application was » o hvre famished copies compared , and you have got it Mr . M'DDnough Shenapplied in the case of the " Qaeen against Danki OCaunell , " that Ma client ; the traverser , ahould be furnished with a copy of the caption of the indictment , which was not furnished , as it should have been , by the Crown solicitor .

      The Attorney-General said , there was a short answer to th&appika&on made by Mr . M'Donough—it was a notion without notice . The opposite side might serve notice of *> " » motion if they pleased , and when they came to -rasfra it before their Xordships , he ( ths Attor-2 tey-G = deral ; would oppose it . The Blatter ai present stood as follows : —The Crown yesterday was entitled to have a rule to-plead entered . The Court , if it-pleased , eould extend the time to plead upen cause etewn ; and if "Mr . M'Donough wiEhed to come forward with a motion for an extension of the time to plead , on % hn pound of his not having received a copy of the caption of the indictment , it was competent for him to do so , and serve notice ot that motion , which he { the Altomey-Gsneral ) would oppose as he had already Stated-Mr . M'Donough observe * , that was not his present TjioHnQ .

      The Atiomfiy-Gensral Baid they did not know what his motion was- ; . Mr . M-Donough—So it appears . ( A laughj . ; The Attorney-General—I have already aid that if yon give notice of your motion , I will oppose it ; and until you comply with that clear rule of this Court , their Lord- \ ships will not entertain your application . The Court decided that notice must be given . ' Mr . Whiteside asked to be allowed to give notice for \ to-morrow morning . ' The Attorney objected , hs would wish to see the ;

      notice . Mr . M'Dosough—Our notice of motion is simply this—The Chief Justice—We have already heard "Mr . Henn , lii . Whifceside , and you . Hot twice , if you please . According to the ordinary rules of Court , notice of mstaon must 1 » served . That rule is more applicable in cases where counsel says " I require notice , in order that I may decide whether 1 will oppose the motion or not . " In the present case , we cannot go out of the common course of Court , and therefore let there be notice ot tins motion—a two-day rale . ^^ V tfVtIW W » 11 I Hi IIIVI ^ » -- ¦» » - - ^ — ¦— -

      > The Court then adjoBxned until to-morrow , at half- ; post ten o ' clock . ] Deblin , I ^ ov . 10 . j The Court of QoBen ' s Bench was again thia day the j grand fo « u « f attraction , it being the general ^ xpecta-Bon , as was intimated on the previous day by ths Attoruey-General , that fresh biHa of indictment would be < , sent befoisthe Grand Jnry against some of the parties ] 'who already stand charged befofe the Court on other i accusations . It was nnderetood that lha new "bills j charged Meesn . Daniel O'Connell , Ihomas Steele , J . j M . -Bay , and Dr . Gray , with attendicg an unlawfnl ¦ , assembly—namelyj the Bepeal Association ; and it was surmised that Qte Question of the legality or Dleeality j

      of that tody would thus hare been brought to an issue . It was only natural than that the greatest anxiety ; should have prevailed as to the fate of the new bills . Bameur had it that they charged the parties with trea- j sonj that sundry letters bad been abstracted from ' Secretary Bay * tmreau at the Com-Exchange ; and npon j these documents it was * H £ ged tie KIIb bad been framed , —these , with other sarmises , mei read ; belief . No 1 iD l * , however , were seat up , and it transpired early in i ihe forenoon , and oui of Court , that the intention of ' . Isrtbei proceedings npoH them had been abandoned for the present . It is somewhat strange that even the ; agents for the accused parties were in profound ignorance ef this decision up to three o ' clock this afternoon .

      The following coDdnding remarks upon the subject are taken from the Evening Mail : — " ""We cannot avoid expressing our dissatisfaction at 1 Mb course , not with respect to the prndenceof the Attorney-General in not sending up these bills , for we take it for granted that he has sound reasons for him decision ; bst at the singular want of discretion which could have induced him to make at such a crisis as this , and under such momenteus circumstances , the solemn declaration of an Intention wMch he was nt , t prepared to carry out Anything like vacillation now . any step evincing a want of determination , may be fetal to himself , Ms career , and the country . Amove in retrograde will be claimed ! by his opponent as a Tictory , and such a display of indecision in tactics ia aot calculated to impart courage to his friends . "

      At four o'clock the Conrt adjourned . Nothing con . ssjcted -wiSi-aie » tate prosecutions caste publicly bfefore it ; bat the three attorney * ft * iha de&aaants , Messrs . ' ¦ Mahony , GarUaad , and Cantwell , swore affidavits ! before the Cler * of the Crown , the naUm of whieh ; did aottraniptoe . They "were , it \ t belieTed i intended i » a ground for an application to the Court for an ' fT ^ ninii Jjeyond Monday of the time allowed the i parttofl to plead or demur to the Indictment . Several of the parties against whom bills iave been already , foond remained till the last aoment anxiously waiting , in thfl vicinity of the grand jury room up to the ad- > joornment ef the Court , in the hope ascertaining the , names of the newly indicted , or some circumstance i connected with the proceedings of the jnry , who evenj at that hour were unaware of the alteration in the Attorney General ' s Tiews with respect to the " further "Hfvrniiffo'iiif *

      The Morning ChronKle and stvtral ovhtr pupexs announced that ths - ' New Bills had been abandoned . '' But the Dublin Momior of Monday , ( a usually well-informed paper ) denies this , sod says thftt the Bills will yet be preferred . Aftsr giving the pith of the afoTei proceedings , the Momtor Bays— "It is still , however , theii intention to prefer the Bills ; and the parties named , against whom this proceeding is to be directed , are Mr . O'Connell , Mr . Steele , Dr . Gray , and Mr ; 'Bay , who are to be indicted as members of an illegal Association , and thuf the question of the legality of the Repeal As sociation is to be tried .

      It was supposed that the Bills in question would charge the parties with High Treason , but this we believe erroneous . In like manner , both the Mail and tha Post say that the Bills are abandoned—that the Crown Officers , after consultation , considered it advisable to retrace their steps ; but this , we have reason to believe , is sot correct . '' Dablin , Nov . n . Mr . Justice Crampton was engaged in searing short motions thia morning until 21 o ' clock , at which hour the Attomey-Ganeral , the Solicitor-General , Messrs Whiteside , Queea ' s Counsel , Hatcbell , Queen ' s Counsel , and M'Donough , Queen ' s Counsel , entered the court The attornlea of Messrs . O'ConneU , Daffy , and others of the traveners were alBO in attendance , and swore

      some affidavits , the nature of which did not transpire . The court was densely crowded by membrrs of the bar and by the public wherever admitted . Mr . T . Steele aud the Rev . Mr . Tyrrell occupied seats under tbe jury gallery , close to the celebrated Sun Gray , who was brought up in custody of the gaoler of K'lmaiaham to receive judgment Mr . Shiel , M . P ., on entering , was warmly greeteG by Mr . Steele . To the evident disappointment of every one , his Lordship rose and gave the usual announcement , so dreaded by all lately , that he had to meet the other Judges in error in the case of the csnvicts Noonan and Hoolahan , which has ocenpied them for several days back from eleven to three o ' clock , completely checking the progress of business in all the four courts .

      Judge Burton , however , took bis seat to-day at half past one o ' clock , and was followed shortly after by the Chief Justice and Judges Crampton and Pen-in . Sir T . Staples , Queen's Counsel , informed their Lordships that , pursmant to order , Samuel Gray was brought up before them , and be { Sir T . Staples ; sow prayed the judgment on behalf of the Crown . Mr . WMteside , Queen's Counsel , begged their LordsMps not to proceed in the matter that day , as the very important motion of " the Qaeen against Charles Gavin Daffy , proprietor of tbe Nation , " would otherwise be delayed , be ( Mr . WMteside ) and his colleague ( Mr . Napier ) being prepared with long legal arguments in behalf of their client iGray ) . The Chief Justice did not think they could set tbe order aside , but referred to Tae Attorney-General , who said it was important that tbe motion of " The Qaeen against Duffy" should be disposed of that day . :

      Mr . WMteside then moved , with much force and length of argument , that a copy of the indictment , including the witnesses' names , and all the endorsements on the back of the original , ahould be delivered to his client , Mr . & G . Duffy , proprietor of the Nation . The Learned Counsel quoted many authorities to snpport his view of the case , -which -was to the effect tbat a copy of &e indictmeiit meant not only adnplic&te of the subjectmatter of the original , but also of the endorsements of the same . He contended , from lstCaxrington and Payne , p . 85 , and several other reports , that there was intrinsic evidence to shew that in England tbe practice was to give copies of the endorsements .

      The Attorney-General opposed the application , but on the ground that he bad received two different notices of the motion ( which objection , however , was met by the withdrawal of one of them ) , as well as on the merits . He asserted that tbe practice of giving witnesses names was nnknown in Ireland , and for the truth of that assertion would only refer to their Lordships' experience . He would shew that 1 b fogland it was equally unknown , and referred to a very recent case reported in the Jurist for 1842 , in tbe matter of the •¦ Queen v . Gordon , ** wherein Mr . Justice Pattison had stated that such an application was unprecedented . Mr . Justice Perrin thought that case referred merely to tbe addresses and residences of the witnesses .

      The Attorney-General read the passage , which mentioned that ** the names and residences'" of the witnesses Wire applied for , and proceeded to support his opposition at considerable length , expressing his belief that the application was merely to get time . Mr . Whiteside , with all respect to the Attorney-General , would say he had no right to observe on what was not before the Court The CMef Justice said that the Attorney-General had quite a right to do so . The Attorney-General proceeded in his argument , and alluded to thB diversity in the notices , manifestly , in Ms opinion , served for the purpose of creating delay ; and concluded by formally opposing the motion .

      Mr . O'Hagan then addressed tbe Court , and wai replied to by the Solicitor-General . The Lord Chief Justice ( having conferred for a few minutes with his brother judges ) said the court were unanimously of opinion that the application of the traveller could sot be granted . It was one not grounded cpon-acy particular statute or state of facts making a peculiar case , which entitled Mr . Charles Gavin Doff ; in his particular person to have an order , which be ( to have It granted ) ab&uld induce ths court to believe was absolutely necessary fer forwarding the ends of justice , and to defend himself against tbe charges made against him . He has made out no particular case , nor stated any particular facts ; but he comes in and demands the navies of the witnesses sent npon the back of the

      indictresnt to the grand jury as a matter of right , which bill of indictment was found to be a true one against him . It was very extraordinary that if the application \ ras one e * dtbiio justtiim , that the Learned Counsel for the applicant could not produce a single authority to support the motion , point out a single instance in which the practice was as stated , or even show where tbe same rule had been applied for . It was , therefore , a motion altogether unprecedented ; and being without precedent , and the practice being reported by the officer of the Court to be diametrically oppeted to the application , -without going farther into that part of the qnestion , the Court were clearly of opLnien that they h&d sufficient grounds to refuse the motion , unless the party making it could demonstrate that he was entitled to it as a matter of right

      Mr . Justice Perrin expressed his concurrence with the CMef Justice in refusing the application .

      TBE QITBEK V . THE REV . MB . TTRRELL . M ? . M'Donough , Q . C , next rose to move that the copy of the indictment furnished to Ms client be amended by having the " caption'" attached to it He moved on an affidavit , which set forth that this material portion of the Bill of Indictment was necessary for tbe defence , and that it was not sought for the purpose of causing delay . The learned counsel spoke at considerable length in support of Ms application , and in tbe course of his eloquent address cited a variety of cases wMch appeared to be strictly applicable to the present case . The Attorney-General rose to oppose tbe motion . He said the defendants were furnished with a copy of the indictment as it was handed down by the Grand Jury , and that was all tbe Act of Parliament required . He contended the caption was no part of the indictment . The Bight Eon . Gentleman concluded his speech in reply at a quarter past five o ' clock .

      Sir Coleman O'Loughlin rose and asked whether the Solicitor-General wished to speak on the motion . If be did , this was his time , and not in reply to the second counsel for the traverser . The Solicitor-General said he had the right to

      reply . A discussion ensued between the counsel os both sides and the Bench on the point of practice , the Crown lawyers contending for the right to reply . Sir Coleman O'Loughlin was then proceeding to speak , when Mr . M'Donough said , with much naivete , my Lord , as this is a constitutional question , and this evening is far advanced , we had better adjourn the fnrthsr dfeenssion —( laughter ) . The Bench agreed , and the Court ajonrned at belfpast five o ' clock . The further arguments to be heard en Monday morning . DubTln , Nov . 28 . At eleven o ' clock tfcte morning tbe Qbief Jutice entered tbe court , sad was quietly followed by Mi learned brethren ;

      THE QTJEIN V . THE EEV . P . J . TtBRELL . The arguments on the motion which was made on Saturday , on the part of the defendant , for a copy of the caption of the indictment , were resumed by Sir Coleroan O'LogMen , who contended , in support of the application , that the law required that the caption should be made out , not as tbe Attorney-General argued , when the record was made np , but in point of law it ought to be made out as soon as the indictment was found He contended that the officer of the court was bound to make it up when the indictment was found . He admitted that it was not the practice to do so ; nevertheless , according to law , it ought to be done . In cases of treason , the practice was to give a copy of the caption of the indictment to the prisoner , along with the indictment itself ; and In these eases it was dear that it must be made up when the Indictment is found . In Johnson ' s case , 6 East , page 583 , their Lordships would find the eopy of the caption prefixed

      to the indictment ; that , in point of law , tbe officer was bound to get the caption made up along -with the indictment was dearly inferrable from this , that in order to obtain a eopy of it , it must be required by tbe defendant before plea pleaded . The Learned Coansel referred to Foster , 230 , the King v . Cooke , State Trials , S 3 » , in support of then propositions . He then proceeded to remark that the indictmeat might be quashed if any defect appeared in the caption . Suppose , for instance , that the indictment was found by a leu number than twelve of the Grand Jnry , the indictment could be quashed . If tbe officer neglected to make np the caption , the court could issue an order to compel him to do so ; and it was to ! ^ ™ . Older a **** fcfca made by the conrt that he , ( Sir Coleman CLoghlen ) ani his Learned Friend made the present application . He referred to 5 * Bamwell and Alderson in which a mondaww was issuad for ftat porpwe by a superior court to the officer .

      The Solicitor-Gsneral replied on bsbalf of tbe Crown . He contended that the caption was no part of the indictment , and , consequently , the defendant in this case was not entitled to a copy of It He cited Andrews Criminal Law , and a decision of Lord Mansfield to show that the caption was no part of the indictment , but merely a copy of the style-of tbe court at which the indictment was found . He admitted that in cases of high treason the defendant was entitled to a copy of the caption ; but although the Act of Parliament was in force in England as well as Ireland , the practice had never been extended to cases of misdemeanour . Tbe peculiar practiceof the Court of Queen ' s Bench showed that a marked distinction existed in its practice in cases of high treason and other cases . Tbe court adjourned for a few minutes . After being twenty minutes in consultation , their Lordships again returned into conrt

      The Chief Justice , Judge Barton , and Judge Crampton , severally delivered judgment against the application , and at great length . Mr . Justice Perrin delivered his judgment also at considerable length . The Learned judge differed with the rest of the Bench , beiug of opinion that the application should be granted .

      MOTION FOR A U 8 T OF CROWN WITNESSES . Mr . Whiteside , Queen ' s Counsel , said that in the case of the Queen v . Duffy he bad made application on Saturday for a return of the names of the wito ? sses endorsed on the indictment , which had been refused by the ; Court on the ground that there was no precedent for granting such an application . Since then , he had found a case which went directly to sustain the right ol the defendant to the list which he claimed . The case he alluded to was "the King v . Burton , " cited in the case of '•• thaKingw . Dr . Parnell , " in Sir William Blackstone ' s Reports , first volume , page 36 , where the Lord Chief Justice or the King ' s Bench gave it as his opinion , that the prisoner was entitled , as a . matter of course , to a copy ef the endorsement on the back ef the indictment He would beg leave to hand up the case to their Lordships , and call upon them , in accordance with that high authority , to direct their i&zet to furnish the defendant with a list of their acruBers .

      The Attorney-General said , that their Lordships had already decided on the two motions brought forward on behalf of Mr . Wbiteside ' s clients , and there being no notice of the present motion of course be should oppose it . Mr . WMteside . —In the case I have handed up to the Court , the granting of a list ef the names of witnesses is mentioned as a matter of course . Mr . Justice Cramptoa . —Bat tbe objection here Is , that you are taking the Crown by surprise . Mr . Whiteside . —The Crown have nothing to do with it ( A laugh . ) 1 would not ask a favour from the Crown , because if I did , I know they would not grant it ( Laughter . ) All I want iB , that the Court should direct tbe officer of the court to do that which , according to the dictum of the Chief Justico of England , is a matter of course . Mr . Justice Crarapton . —Ton must give notice to the Attorney-GeneraL

      Mr . Whiteside . —1 did not know It was in his power to grant my application . Mr . Joatica Crainpton—Yen are not at all mistaken there ; it is not in his power to grant it , never theless you must give notice . The Attorney-General said that there were nine other notices of motion serred on the part of the defendants , and be wished to know if they intended to move upon any of them f Mr . Fitz ; ibbon , Queen ' s Counsel , said they had Bent for Mr . Moore , who was to move the next motion . The Chief Justice—Yery well ; but certainly the Court will not allow a motion similar to those motions already refused to be now brought forward under another name . Mr . Fitzrfbbon Baid that the motion was different from those which pteaeded it

      The Chief Justice—If called on to give my opinion I should say that the two last motions should have been moved at one and the same time . Mr . Moore , Queen ' s Counsel , here entered the Court , and said that he had been instructed to move an application consequent on the two motions which bad been argued before the Court , but their Lordships being of opinion that the defendants were not entitled either te a list of the witnesses on the back of the indictment or to a copy of the caption , he and the gentlemen with who ^ a he acted w « re of opinion that the ground on which they could sustain the correlative motien was taken from under their feet , and they should nut therefore bring forward the third motion .

      MOTION FOB A BILL OF PABTIC 0 LABS . Mr . Moore said , that in the same case of "the Qaeen w . Daniel OConneli , " there was another notice of motion served on Saturday , which should come on to-morrow at furthest ( as that was tbe last day for pleading ) , otherwise they could not move it at oil . Tbe CMef Justice . —What is the nature of the motion ! Mr . Moore said that it was to get a bill of particulars of the charges in the indictment . The Chief Justice said that they had made an arrangement to bear further argument to-morrow , en &demurrer which layover , and then go into tbe case of " tbe Qaoen v . Samuel Gray . '' The O * urt would consider whether they should give the priority of bearing to Samuel Gray's case or to Mr . Moore ' s motion . Mr . Moore said that , if they did not move it to-morrow , it would be too late .

      The Chief Justice then intimated that , if Mr . Moore was ready to-morrow , he might bring the motion on . ' Mr . Justice Cbampton , at the very rising of the Court , said they had looked into the case handed up by Mr . Whiteside , and it appeared to be a caae removed by certiorari to the King ' s Bench , and ths Court had nothing but the caption and the indictment before it It appeared to Mm to have been merely an application to know who the prosecutor in the case was . The Court then adjourned .

      THE PBOSECUTIONS HUMOURS OF THE DAT . The Cork Reporter says : — " Vim learn that the names of a number of highly respectable and influential persons—n&t Repealersresidents of the city and county of Cork , including those of the Mayor and Sir Octavius Carey , the General commanding the district , were this day forwarded to Dublin , with a view to these gentlemen being examined for tbe defence on tbe pending state trials , whenever those trials take place . " The correspondent of the Chronicle says : —

      " According to the information which has reached me , the traversers are to file a special demurrer , in tbe form of a plea of abatement , on the ground of informalities in the indictment ; but a demurrer of this kind will be quite distinct from the pleadings , which are in preparation . Whether tbe pleadings are to be filed to-morrow , at tbe termination of the four days , will depend on the fate of motions before the Court in the mean time . Until these are decided , no period can be fixed for the trial . '' I have learned that some English Members of Parliament , who , whilst making a tour in Ireland during the autumn , were present at some of the county Repeal demonstrations ; are to be summoned as witnesses for the defence , to shew that nothing whatever in the shape of intimidation existed . " The correspondent of the Times Bays .-

      —" It is currently reported , on the part of the defence , that one of the traversers has no fewer than 30 , 900 witnesses to bring forward ; and by way of farther procrastinating ; the proceedings , it is said that ten notices for bills of particulars have been served , one for each traverser respectively , upon wMch the arguments raised upon the right of each of them will , as a matter of necessity , have to be answered by the counsel for the Crown . "

      : THE BEPEAL BENT . The following appears in the Carlow Sentinel , a Tory paper : — " The Debbynane Pbopebtt . —It is a fact very little known that Mr . O'Connell has succeeded in saving his property from tbe hammer , by paying off some very heavy encumbrances by the fruits of this year ' s agitation , and he has also been enabled to pay tbe renewal fines dae to Trinity College , for the perpetuity of Ma lease , and now having renewed the lease , and stopped the mouths of the creditors , he is preaching peace , and would evea accept a federal parliament . The Tfeass Correspondent Bays i" It is stated , that on Saturday last , £ 3 , 000 worth of the stock In which the Repeal rent has been invested , was sold ont to furnish the sinews of delay . Satisfactory disposal of the " proclamation money " this '

      STATE OF THE COUNTRY . Signal Fibes in the Nobth . —A Fermanagh paper says— "We learn with great regret that those mysterious movements , which in other counties manifested themselves in lighting of straw and making bonfires , have commenced here . In one district , the honsf s of Roman Catholics have been singled out by two distinct white marks . We have not been able to ascertain tbe real meaning of these demonstrations , but , no doubt , something political is intended . "

      XOBD HAWABDEN ' S PROSECUTION . As soon as tbe Court of Queen ' s Bench shall have time to devote to any other case but the state prosecutions , Mr . Shell is to Bhow cause against the . conditional rule for a criminal information , obtained by Lord Sawaxden against Mr . 3 > uSy , proprietor of the Natitn . This prosecution , as yon are aware , has been instituted by Lord Bawsrdea in consequence of the publication of letters of the late Rev . Mr . Davern , a Roman Catbolie clergyman , who officiated as curate in a parish adjoining the estate of the Noble Lord , in the county of Tipperary .

      Mr .

      eighty-three persons , who , if tbe order should be made absolute , are to be examined at the trial . Several of those persons have been tenants on tbe Hawardea estates , and amongst the number are some extensive landholders in the neighbourhood , and some Roman Catholic Clergymen . In the event of a trial Mr . Duffy is to put in a plea of justification , which he will be enabled to do under the new libel law . This case , especially in consequence of the issuing of tbe Irish landlord and tenant commission , excites the deepest interest .

      REPEAL ASSOCIATION . November 13 . Shortl y after one o ' olook Mr , O'Connell entered the Conciliation-hall , which was much crowded , and having moved Mr . Stritch ( a barrister ) into the chair , read a letter from Mr . J * S . O'Brien , M . P . for Limerick , who , he said , went into Parliament an anti-Repealer , and , on the ; motion of the Hon . and Learned Gentleman , was admitted a member of the Association by acclamation . Mr . O'Brien enclosed £ 5 y and stated , " that ia becoming a member of the association he was influenced by a desire to offer his strongest testimony against the reckless and exasperating policy of the present Government , and to convey the assurance of his sincere identity with bis fellow-countrymen in their struggle for national

      rights . " Mr . O'Connell intimated that Mr . Ray had a large quantity of ruled paper prepared for the various localities throughout Ireland that were to present petitions to Parliament praying for Repeal , There was one point to which he wished to call the attention of the association ; it was the fact that they looked for Repeal to peaceable means , and to peaceable meaQS alone ( hear , hear ) . The principle of bis political life was , that the greatest political ameliorations in government and political institutions could be obtained only by peaceable means ( hear , ' hear ) . There was no instance of popular success by violent means that did not end either in anarohy or military despotism ( hear , hear ) . This theory he announced five thousand times , and he

      practically acted upon it in carrying Emancipation ; and he had adopted it hitherto in the struggle for Repeal , and he need not : call upon any portion of the credulity of the public to believe the truth of what he said , for he defied the bitterest enemy to assert that thoy ever violated tho peace in agitating the Repeal ( hear , hear ) . No one presumed to make any such assertion ; in fact , the accusation against them was that they were too peaceable—( laughter)—and it was said that they must be very dangerous fellows because they kept quiet so loDg—( laughter ) . But he perceived that their enemies were endeavouring to irritate the people in every direction . There was a paragraph in the Times , of Saturday , most insulting and irritating to the

      people of ireland —( hear , h « ar ) . He would not sally his lips by reading it , but it had fixed on his mind the perfect oonviotion , that the persons conducting that paper were exceedingly anxious for some tutnult or disturbance in Ireland —( hear , hear ) . He had heard since he came into the room , that some man that had been in America , was preaching sedition through the streets of Dublin yesterday , and that the police arrested him ; he hoped he was severely punished , for he was doubly oriminal—first , because he uttered sedition ; and secondly , because he uttered that sedition at such a moment as the present . He ( Mr . O'Connell ) had now to read an address which he had prepared to the people of Ireland , and to move its adoption and circulation throughout Ireland , and that a copy of it be sent to clergymen of

      every denomination . He wanted to work out his experiment to procure useful changes by peaceable means . He wanted to show to the world that by those means he would succeed . What signified the prosecutions at present pending ! they might perhaps cause inconvenience to the parties prosecuted , but they could not affect the spirit of the entire nation—or the perseveranco of tbe people—and it would go very hard if he did not find out some means through the press , of conveying his sentiments to the people —( bear , hear , and cheers ) . He called upon the people not to gratify their enemies and mortify their friends by committing violencelet them do nothing to tarnish the beautiful , the noble , aud sacred cause in which they were engaged —the cause of the liberty of their country—( cheers ) . The Honourable Gentleman then read the address .

      " , XO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND . " Fellow Countrymen , —I never felt half the anxiety which I do at present to be distinctly understood in the advice I give , and to have that advice implicitly obeyed . " The reason of this anxiety is , that if my advice be followed , the restoration of the Irish Parliament will assuredly be obtained—and obtained in a manner the most honourable to the religious and peaceable people of Ireland * " I earnestly call upon the Repeal Wardens to circulate my advice , and to be active in carrying it into effect . I most respectfully solicit the Catholic clergy in every parish to enforce my advice by their counsel and their venerated authority .

      " My advice , then , is this—I wish I could make it a command—that there be perfect peace , order , and tranquillity in every parish Id Ireland ; that there shall not be the smallest riot , tumult , or violence ; no public meeting , unless it be called by public advertisement , sanctioned at least by some of the clergy ; and not even then , except for the asle purpoae of petitiening the Queen and tha Parliament . I want the moat perfect quiet , peace , and tranquility , until all these trials are over . No matter what the event of the prosecutions may be , I am thoroughly convinced that in any event they will tend to facilitate the obtaining of repeal , provided only that the people preserve , the condition of the most perfect quietude during those trials . It will be easy to preserve tranquillity after those trials shall—as they ought—have terminated successfully for tbe unjustly accused , or however they may terminate .

      " Nothing could possibly injure our cause before the court and jury half so much as any occurrence of tumult , riot , or physical force of any kind whatsoever . " If anybody gives you advice contrary to mine , believe me that he ia an eneviy at mine and of yours . Arrest every such man , aud bring him before the police . "Let there not be , I conjure you , the smallest disturbance . Any man whojoina in any disturbance , I proclaim to be my personal enemy . If you be friends of mine , take my advice , and be perfectly tranquil . I conjure you to tranquility , in the name of your country . I adjure you to be tranquil , in the name of the ever adorable and living Gad . " Recollect that the principle upon which we have looked for the Repeal of the Union , is—that it can be obtained onlj / by legal , peaceable , and constitutional means , and by the total absence of violence , force , and tumult .

      " Recollect also that the principle of my political life , and that in which I have instructed the people of Ireland , is , that all the ameliorations and improvements in political institutions can be obtained by persevering in a perfectly peaceable and legal course ; and cannot be obtained by any forcible means ; or if they could be got by forcible means , such means create more evils than they cure , and leave the country worse than they found it . " This great experiment of improving Ireland by peaceable means is what we now have in progress . We have hitherto—blessed be < Jod •—had all cur efforts marked by perfect peace and tranquillity . Let there be no deviation whatseever - from that peaceable and tranquil condact . I want that everybody should remain in peace and at borne during the coming trials , and until after they are completely over . He is an enemy who would violate this request of mine—If indeed anybody should be found so vile as to violate It , which I do not believe .

      "I cannot conclude without once again adjuring the people-everywhere not to be irritated , excited , or provoked by any event whatsoever , or of whatever nature that event may be ; but to continue calm , peaceable , tranquil , and loyal . And if this advice be fallowed , I anticipate , and I think I can promise , that the result of these trials will be eminently useful to the Repeal cause . ' «• Bat—attend to me—if there be daring the trials the slightest outbreak of violence in any parish , it will be my d « ty immediately to abandon the Bepeal ca « se , and to forsake a people who , at such a critical period as the present , weuid not follow tbe advice I so earnestly give them . " I however , have no fears that my counsel will be disobeyed . I confidently expect that the people will not injure my cause , and the cause of Ireland , by disregarding my advica

      . " Be therefore calm , quiet , tranquil , peaceful , loyal , riolale no law of man—obey with devout reverence the law of God . : " You will thus mortify and disappoint your enemies . Those enemies speculate upon provoking you to some act ef turbulence . Disappoint them—mortify them by the inflexible observance of quiet , of calmness , of peaceable and legal conduct " Follow my council , and you thereby will serve the cause , and gratify the heart of " ¦ Your devoted friend , " Daniel O'Connell .

      The Rev . Mr . Tyrrell ( one of the travetsers ) , in seconding the motion , defended himself and the RepealerB generally , from the imputation that while they preached peace they meant war . Such a thing it was impossible fox Mr . O'Connell , as a Roman Catholic , to do , or for him ( Mr . Tyrrell ) , as a Roman Catholic priest , to sanction—( hew ) . Motion agreed to . Mr . O'Conneil then called attention to the subject of the commission appointed to inquire into the state of landed tenure in Ireland , referred to the attack of the

      Tory press , on the late Mr . Drummond for his enunciation of the principle that property had its duties as well as Its righto , and asfced how it was that the Government had become convinced of its justness and propriety?—a question which he answered by assuring the association that the change of opinion on the subject was owing to the exertions of the Repealers , who had the consolation of having set the stagnant mass in motion , and given rise to the proapect ; of a healthy irrigation . He wished everybody to give all possible assistance to thia commfoioB , although Jnot -very well

      satisSed with the parsons appointed . Thai , however , was the fault of the Government , who ; offered to nominate Sir . M . O'Farr&H , but that gentleman could not serve owing to bad j health- He ( Mr . O'Connell ) was ready to be examined , and he now moved that it was the opinion of the Association that every assistance be given to this commission . Mr , J . O'Connell having seconded the motion , it was agreed to . I Mr . O'Connell next alluded to a proposition from one of the leading orpans of tbe Government for pensioning the R- ; man iCatholio clergy of Ireland at tbe expense of £ 600 , 000 a year . It would require an additional sum of £ 400 , 000 to render the amount sufficient for Its object , ' but even that the Roman Catholics clergy of Ireland would refuse , as they had always done . He did not think John Bull would be satisfied

      to pay even £ 600 . 000 to Popish priests who were asking for nothing , particularly when be had plenty of people asking for something to satisfy —( hear ) . The paper he alluded to paid the Catholic cleray the compliment of say tag that they were to be paid not for preaching religion , but for not preaching rebellion , as if that was what they were at ' present engaged in . There was one alteration In the existing system which he ( Mr . O'Connell ) would like to see made as regarded the clergymen of every { persuasion , and that was that a certain piece of land in the shape of a glebe , and . a house situated within each parish , should be handed down from ene pastor to another . Having again stated that the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland would never consent to a state provision , Mr . O'Connell read the following letter from Mr . Sturge , which will explain Itself : — i

      " TO J . M . RAY , SECRETARY TO THE LOYAL NATIONAL REPEAL ^ ASSOCIATION , DUBLIN . " I am this morning favoured with thy letter of the 9 th instant , containing a copy of the resolutions passed by your association , on the 30 th ultimo , and calling my attention particularly to tbe fourth , in which I am requested ' to -specify what the questions are involving the interests of the United Kingdom , exclusive of those which come within the range of the Royal prerogative . ' j ¦ " Bafore giving a reply , I would respectfully submit that the advocates of Repeal should clearly define who is to advise the Sovereign in the exercise of that power . j

      " You contend that the prerogative of the Crown includes within its } operation all , or nearly all , the matters for which what was designated ' Imperial Legislation' is thought to be necessary ; but , as it is a maxim of the British Constitution that 'the Sovereign can do no wrong , ' the Ministers of the Crown , who are controlled by a majority of the House of Commons , give or refuse tbe R > yal assent to whs-t measures they think fit ; and it is held by many true friends of Ireland that as long as we are one kingdom there must be some one body to iwhom the Ministers of the Crown are responsible , and that this body should be the representatives of the whole nation .

      " If all who desire equal justice to Ireland agree upon great and well-defined principles , minor details will not , I trust , keep them long separate ; aud your full recognition of an equality of civil and religious rights is eminently calculated to remove the prejudices of tbe boBttst-Biinded , the feara of the timid , and to show to tbe world at ; large that you seek only impartial justice for all your fellow subjects . ¦ " Very respectfully , i ?• Joseph Sturge . " " Birmingham , 11 th of 11 th Menth . "

      Mr . O'Connell said that he required an Irish Parliament only for Irish affairs , and that the persons in the administration of those affairs should have tbe confidence of that Parliament . He intended that the control of tbe Irish Parliament should apply only to tbe employment of the instruments of power in Ireland , leaving to the British Parliament the geaeral administration of the country and tbe selection of the Crown . i Amongst some sums of money handed in were £ 52 from Armagh and & 10 G from Cork ( as proclamation money ) .

      Mr . O'Connell handed in £ 51 18 s . front Manchester , and £ 44 14 s . 6 d . from Carthisland , county of Kerry . He had seen in tbe newspapers an account of a Repeal Convention in New Yorfc , and be thought a great portion of the proceedings deserved their marked reprobation—( hear , hear ) . JThey bad a communication from that Convention ; but as a matter of precaution he would move that no j communication from that Convention should be received until it was submitted to the committee for consideration , as to the suitableness , of presenting it to the association , or returning it to America . . Mr . John O'Connell then rose to bring forward his plan for the fiscal arrangement between the two countries when ihe Repeatwas carried , and placed the following document before the meeting : — ' Outlines of a proposed Financial arrangement between Great Britain and Ire / and , after the Repeal .

      " 1 . That the principle of the arrangement be that the revenues of Ireland be spent at home . " 2 . That the first charge upon her revenues be her debt , as it stands at present . " 3 . That her contribution to the imperial active expenditure be as now , according to the full measure of her ability , as ] shown by a comparison , of tbe products of equal taxes in both countries , or such other elements of comparison as may be agreed upon . t " 4 . That a revision of the proportions of contributions of either country respectively do take place at such periods as may ba agreed upon ; the first to be within fivo years after the Repeal . " 5 . That if it be deemed expedient at the time of the Repeal that Ireland should be charged with any debt beyond what appears charged to her in the public accounts , such debt be transferred from the English to the Irish funds . i

      " 6 . That tee various items of imperial expenditure be apportioned between the two countries in such a manner as to obviate all necessity for tbe revenues of one country being spent in the other . " 7 . That the control and management of the revenues of Ireland , ) subject to the foregoing rules , be with the Parliament of Ireland ; and that nothing herein contained be deemed or assumed to limit the constitutional right of that Parliament to stop' or limit tbe supplies on constitutional causa arising . " Mr . O'Connell announced the Repeal Rent for the week to be £ 1 , 070 19 s . 5 d . ( Loud cheers . ) The association adjourned to Monday next .

      MR . OCONNELL . It is stated to-day that Mr . O'Conuell is not in ' the possession of that robust health which the Hon . Gentleman has enjoyed almost uninterruptedly during his life , and that it has been recommended that he should take the benefit of a change of air , for which purpose he baa-removed to the country { residence , within a tew miles from this city , of his son , IMr .

Although Lord Divon , the chairman , is daily expscted , it is is doubtful whether the inquiries of the Commission will commence before January . i LORD DONOUGHMOEE—TITHES . As an example of the generous and forbearing manner in which certain Tory Landlords collect tithes —or , as they are nbw called , " Rent Charge "—we subjoin the following ; from the Cork Reporter : — " 75 , South Mall , pork , 8 th day of November , 1812 . " Sir , —I beg to ' apply to you for the half-year ' s rent charge , amount £ due to the BatI of Donoughmore , on . ; the 1 st of November inst ., out of the parish of ¦ > .

      " Lord Dononghmore has given me peremptory orders to hand over to his law agents all accounts not paid within one month after gale-day , so that no further application will be made by me . " I am , sir , your obedient servant , j "James Hill . " This is exercising { the functions of a Tithe Proctor with admirable fidelity . Lord Donoughmore is one of the persons who signed the celebrated Proclamation " to sapprew and prevent" the Clontarf meeting :. We cannot wonder , then , at his being very " peremptory "' in his orders , or that a spice of tbe Proclamation should app « a » in his directions to hts agents , Aad was it fer this that , with desperate fidelity , the Irish people for jlong years waged the Tithe war , and remained B&shaken till their leaders betrayed them ) Itis the most disgraceful page in the history of Irish agitation is that same base Tithe compromise ! —Dublin Monitor .

      THE MARQUIS OF WaTERPOBD Has addressed the following letter to the gentlemen of the county of Tipperary : — i " Curraghmore , Nov . 8 . " Gentlemen , —I have deferred writing to you until some final arrangement as to hunting your county bad been made ; Mr . Millett h&B undertaken that office , and I now beg to thank you for the kind attention and support you have shown me during the period I resided amongst you . 11 think it right to state the causes which induced me to resign . You are all aware that in December , 1841 , my hounds were poisoned . I treated the matter with contempt In January , 1 S 43-,

      they were again poisoned . I discovered the offender and forgave him , bat stated publicly that if a similar outrage were again committed I should give up hunting the county . In j 1843 my stables were burnt , and but for the prompt conduct of my servants the whole establishment would have been consumed . From the threatening notices I bad received , and from the sworn evidence of persons on the spot when the fire commenced , the magistrates came to the conclusion that the burning was malicious . I immediately determined to leave Tipperary , feeling that such a system of annoyance more than counterbalanced the pleasures of fox-hunting , for { which alone I proposed to reside at Lakefield . f

      WARLIKE PREPARATIONS . ( From ihe Dublin Monitor . ) The Government is still actively engaged in preparing for war I Our old Martello defences are being renovated with considerable dispatch , and barrack walls that were fast crumbling to decay are now assuming a very military appearance , with the aid of a little brick and mortar . , . War-steamers lino onr coast , and appear where warsteamers never appeared before—even within the peaceful precincts of Strangford Lough , in the heart of the loyal county of Down ! ? - The Penelope steam-frigate arrived on Saturday morning in Kingstown Harbour , where she at present lies . The Penelope brought over some additional military stores .

      Dublin Castle , which , it is admitted , Is ill qualified to stand a siege—indeed , as a military post , it is alto * gether worthless—however , active measures are in pro * gress to render it as defensible as possible . We subjoin the following paragraph : — " Fortifying the Castle !—A company of Royal Sappers and Miners are busily employed constructing barricades for tbe defence of the Castle of Dublin . They are to be made of wooden beams , between six and seven feet in height sharp-pointed , and loopholed for musketry , and are lined with a breast-work of sand-bags , and with a platform for the troops to stand upon .

      REDUCTION OF RENTS . We feel great pleasure in being able to state that James M'Teman , Esq ., of Mount Allen , county of Leitrim , has reduced bis rents upwards of twenty-five per cent .

      Leeds Woollen Markets . —We have nothing fresh to note is the state of the markets this week . The demand for goods continues , and the recent wool sales would seem to indicate & probability of a large increase in the present demand . The letters , also , from China , are , we understand , of a very cheering character . Bradford Markets , Thursday , November 16 . — Wool . —The improved prices which all kind 3 of Combing Wools have maintained has brought a very full supply to market , and with the good choice , the Spinners do not seem to operate so freely ; for they complain that at present rates they cannot realise a profit . Yarn . —Yarns continue is steady request , and late prices firmly maintained . Piece . — To-day we have had more lookers than for some weeks past , but we cannot hear of any extensive sales being made , or of any improvement in prices .

      Newcastle Corn Market , Satubdat , Nov . lLAt our market this morning we had a good Bupply of Wheat from the country , but scarcely equal to the deliveries of the last few weeks , and having a demand for shipments coastways , sales were freely effected at an advance of fully Is . per quarter . Ia coasting parcels or foreign little business was done , holders being unwilling to accept current prices . With Flour we have been very largely supplied , which has caused our buyers to act much on the reserve , so that we can only report a limited demand at about late rates : our millers still holding for

      42 s ., may possibly favour the sale of Norfolk qualities next week . In Rye very little passing . Malting Barley in slow request , and only the choicest sorts maintain their value , other qualities being offered at a slight decline , without bringing buyers forward . Malt dull , but not cheaper . Beans stationary . Boiling Peas little inquired after , and for grinding descriptions the inquiry has a good deal subsided . Notwithstanding only a moderate supply of Oats from the growers , a clearance was with diffloaltj made at last week ' s currency . Ship Corn d « H , bat not lower .
