Oar readers are aVare of the point to be argcetJ : it is -whetherlhe witnesses on whose evidence * the Grand Jnry louna the Bill of Indictment should hare teen a worn in open Court , or before the Grand Jury . •« This point is raised on tike 1 st and 2 d Viet , e » 87 , previous to ¦ which act all "witnesses in Bill * of Indictment "wera rsrom in open Court , under the S 6 lh- £ reo HL , c .

    *» The Act of Victoria , however , Tecitea that the practice of shearing "witnesses in open Court , caused delay and other inconveniences , sad then goea on 'to enact as follows : — ' I * is therefore enacted that in all eases -where bills of indictment are to be laid before Grand Jvaries in Ireland , for their consideration , the Clerk of the Craven at ihe Assizes , and the Clerk offhcPeaceat _ Quarter Sessions or JiUor Uieir deputy , shall endorse upon the back of each bill of indictment the name or names of the witness or -witnesses for tbe crown in support of such bill , and send the same so endorsed to the Grand Jury ; and the foreman , ot other member of the Grand Jnry , twelve membera of the Crrssd Jury being there at the t 5 m « . shall , previous to the examination of any -aitness whose name shall appear endorsed , administer to snch witness Cie oath or sblfenm affirmation required to be takes by TOchTntness . * *¦

    " 2 fow , it will be perceived that no mention -whatever is made , in the above clause , of the Court of Qu : en ' s Bench ; and this omission , it is argued by tbe Counsel for tba Traversers , is fatal to ike BDlcf Indictment , because ths -witnesses should have been sworn in epen Court , as provided by the 55 th Geo .

Tbe Protestants of tbe town , denning these signals as only a prelude to a general attack , assembled and prepared their fire arms , whilst these in the conntry barricaded their houses , prepared ammunition , determined to act as their forefathers did . Now , we ask , what were the polios or the authorities about , who did rot immediately proceed to those fires and scatter the rebel symbols to the wind ? We would impress on the Protestants to be firm , be prepared , but not rash—tbe poor deluded creatures who thus act are only the tools of more cautious but designing rebelB ; and are therefore more to be pitied than otherwise .

    " Resolved—That the Catholic laity rf Ireland , who never deserted their venerated clergy , even la the midst cf pains , penalties , confiscations , and death , gratefully acknowledge that their clergy ( although against them persecution most Vehemently raged ) never deserted their faithful followers ; and they are convinced that all the bribes of England could not pur . chase off one single Catholic clergyman from * the people throughout this entire isle . " * With respect to the Catholic clergy of Ireland ( continued Mr . O'Connell ) , this was emphatically the time to

    speak oat—they had chosen the period , and had spoken oat manfully . - They had declared their intention of refusing any Government allowance : that which people refused least was a monied provision , but they would not have any of it ( Cheers . ) What had religion to do with the mammon of the world ? What connexion ia Soly Writ , and tbe traditions of the Fathers , be * tweea mammon and religion ?

    Dublin , Nov . 22 d . Judgment on the " Demurrer" has been given . It is against the defendants . Their pleas have been held to be bad . They arc ousted ; and fresh pleas had to be put in . ; As soon , as judgment had been pronounced , in which judgment by-the-bye all the Judges joined , the Attorney General moved that the defendants should be caJled upon to plead instanter . Hereupon another " talk , " or discussion ensued . It ended by the "Court" siding with the Attorney General , when the following scene took'place : —

    Attorney-General— -My Lords , the defendants must appear personally upon their recognizance now , and bo called by the Clerk of the Crown to plead forthwith . f Mr . Forde—They will be here immediately . Clerk of the Crown—Some of them may be here ; Call Daniel O'Connell ; . Mr . Hatcbell—He is coming in . Clerk of the Crown- —Crier , call Daniel O'Coaaell . Crier—Daniel O'Connell , come and appear hero , you and your bail . j Mr . Hatchell and Mr . Cantwell again informed the effioer that Mr . j O'Conaell waa comiug inio Court . I

    Clerk of the Crown—Call John O'Connell . Mr . Cantwell—They will be here in one moment . Mr . O'Connell , accompanied by Mr . John . O'Connell , M . P ., and tbe Rev . Mr . Tyrrell , entered the court in a few moments afterwards and took his seat at the side bar . The other traversers were previously in attendance . ' Mr . Cantweil immediately afterwards said—I now hand in the plea of Mr . O'Connell . Chief Justice—Is Mr . O'Connell present ? Mr . O'Conaell here rose and bowed to the court . The Clerk of the jCrown then read the plea , whicb was in the usual form of a plea of "Not Guilty . " i Pleas were then handed in for John O'Conneil , Thomas Steele , Richard Barrett , John Gray , Thomas M Ray , the Rev . Pater J . Tyrell , Charles Gavan Duffy , and the Rev . Mr . Tierney .

    The Clerk of the Crown then said—All the defendants have handed in to me picas of " Not Guilty . " i The Attorney-General inquired if all the pleas were similar ? i Mr . Cant well replied in the affirmative . Attorney . General—The Clerk of tho Crown will add a similiter . I myself state it are tenus , aud join issue on those pleas , and the Clerk of tho Crown will take it down from me . The Attorney General again rose after a short pause and said—I know an objection might probably be made if I applied to the court without notice to the traversers to fix a day for the trial . Notice will will bo served on eaah of the traversers in the coarse of this day for Ifriday , when il mil apply for a trial at ba , r in this ! court . I cannot now make that motion , aa I know they would object to its not being on notice . ;

    Chief Justice—I think you mentioned applying for a trial at bar . i Attorney-General—Yes , my Lord , notice of the motion will be served on Friday , and I will , on that day , move for a trial at bar to be fixed for some day in the next vacation . Chief Justice—Do you move anything else . Mr . Attorney-General ! \ Attorney-General—No , my Lord . Chief Justice—Do you , Mr . Hatohell ! Mr . Hatchell—No , my Lord . Mr . O'Connell and the other traversers then left the Court , followed by ! the majority of tho persons present . '

    From the Freeman ' s Journal we learn that " notice" has been dul y served on the defendants ; and that the 11 th of Deceember is the day the Attorney-General will movo for , tha commencement of tbe trial ; and that the period from that date to the 10 th of January should be set apart for the purpose , and j hoJden to be a part of the " Term . " The time allotted for the trial by the Attorney-General is one month . The Freeman exclaims : — " Why , a month is nothing" !

    Lekds Corn Market , Tuesday , Nov . 21 . —The arrival of Wheat to this day ' d market has been smaller , Barley and Beans larger . The demand for Wheat not quite as brisk as last week , very little alteration in prices . Barhy has been heavy sale ; the finest qualities rather lower , other descriptions Is . per quarter lower . Oats and Beans no

    alteration . Bradford Markets , Thuesdav , November 23 . — Wool . —There ia hardly so much animation iu thia trade as & few weeks past , and bayers are timid to operate at the present hi « h prices . Yarn . —Yarns remain without any alteration in demand or prices . Piece . —The demand for goods has not been very extensive ; indeed , the weather has been £ uon aa tO deter the merchants from attending , and may in some measure account for the slackening . Prices are firm .

    State of Trade—Owing to the period of the year , and perhaps , in sorae degree also , to the unfavourable state of the weather , the market yesterday was doll , especially for yarn , wlifeh ia at present in very limited demand , and gemral ' y declining in price . This is particularly tho case ia those qaalities usually taken by the German buyers , who have been for some time past very inactive ; bat ibe higher numbers of mule yarn have been in soruo rcqnest for the Iadian market ? , and have fully

    maintained their price . In goods there was little change to notice—the demand being generally limitedf except for low shhtiu « s aud priming cloth ( which last is somewhat ivfluenced by the proapeot of » general tarn-out of wcavors at Ashton-under-Lyne ) We are glad to learn that thwe is , at presenti » very extensive demand for grey mousselines de laine , which hare now almost supplanted the hand * loam calicoes formerly manufactured in the neigh * bourhood of Coins , and are become , when pririted a very important article of export to Germany ana the United States , 83 well of domestic consumption *
