THE STATE- TE 1 AIS . —QUEEN'S BENOH . j Dublin , Nov . 9- j 3 Ir . justice Campion sat this morning , at half-past { tea o'clock , to hear motions of . conrse . He rose shortly after eleven o ' clock to meet the other Judges in a Court of Error , -where their lordships ¦ were © ccnpied until fonr o ' clock , j In consegnence of an intimation from the Attorney-, General at the rising of the Court yesterday evening that it was his intention to Bend op a fresh bill of indictment to the jGrand Jury against lour of the par- ] ties implicated , and the Jury hairing been directed to I
be in attendance this morning , the Court and Hall : ¦ were ranch crowded throughout the day by persons ! anxiously desircns of ascertaining the nature . of the - charges laid in the new indictment , the names ef the j parties charged , and -whether the jury , -who were ] closeted all day , wonid find the bill . It -was net until ! this hour ( quarter-pasf feur o ' clock } , and after the Jury j bad retired , that I ascertained that the indictment hod sot been sent np , and that the Jury had been , occupied ' all day -with fiscal business . The nature of the in- ' dictment has "not transpired . A xumonr prevailed in : tie nan that it is for high treason , foanded on the is-, formation of" traitors from the Repeal camp . " Oiheia tfate tis confidently that it 1 b for misdemeanour only .
At half-past four o ' clock the Juices entered the Conrt . . Mr . Henn , Q- C , then rose and said , he bad to apply : to "the Gouit on behalf of Daniel O'Connell , one of the , trsTsrsers , for liberty to compare Ms copy ot the in-, dictment -with the orginal bilL He moved en the affi- ' davits of Mr . Ford , Mr . Gantwell , and Mr . Pierce Ma- ; hony , BolicitOTS for several of the traversers . Messrs . j Ford and Cantwdl stated that , in performance of their dntjes , they attended in the offise of Mr . Walter Bourne , at the boor of eleven o ' clock in the forenoon , of ibis day , for the purpose of comparing a ccpy of the ' indictment fsund in this prosecution -with the original , and asked Mr . Bourne -would be allow the copy to bs ' compared "with the said indictment ? Whereupon Mr .:
Bourne stated that it -was at his pnyate residence in Harconrt-street , and not m bis ofius , and consequently ' it c « ild not be compared . Messrs . Ford and Cantwell \ called again , but Mr . Boarne told them he had it , but ^ oul d notj&How it to be compar ed "wi th any of the ojsves , having received directicna not to allow any- ; thing of the kind . Mr . Forth deposed that he then immediately addressed himself to Mr . Jt-myrfi * , Crown Solicitor , and ask&d him if he bad given such directions on the part of the ' Crowa ? In reply , Mr . Kesnnis saia he had given ' no such directions . I > eponent further saith , that ' ; having' conveyed to Mr . Bourne the reply of Mr . { Ssmmis , the former stated that he would not allow ¦
Any of them to be compared without an order frcm j ttie Conn for that purpose . Mr . Henn con 5 nned to ' say , it iB essentially necessary that befcre -we plead we , should ascertain , beyond all doabt , that the copy- we ! received is a true and correct copy of the original ; indictment ; for should it turn out that there was a material variance between tiiese copies f omuihed to hs asd the bill of indictment , our demurrer would > e rnled , not according to the copy fumisfeed to us , but i > y the record of Sie Court . I The Attomej-Gineral here entered the court , and : Trie Chief-JuBfiee Mormcd him that an application . i&d been made upon behalf of Mr . O'Connell to have , one of the copies of the indictment compared vriih the 1 the original
The Attorney-General—I apprehend , my Lord , that ; the copies served by tbe clerk of the-Crown -were ] properly certified ; therefore , if that is the case , I do not feel that there is anything out of the ordinary : course to be done in this case , more than in any * -other . Mr . Whiteside centended , that the traversers were ¦ all legally entitled to have copies compared . Altera- ¦ tions had already been made in the indictment , and it Vas better for them to have correct copies of it , than ; to get a wrong one , which , -would cause mistakes , andprotract the proceedings . If the officer certified that the document -was acopy . it did not make it a true copy ,: and his client had a jii ? bt to have it compared . The SoHcstor-General remarked , that a certified copy f ¦ was the same as a confirmed one , as it would not be certified -without comparing it |
The Chief-Justies—1 think , there should be no objection to the present application . I » et one copy be therelore compared . The Attorney-General would not farther object ; but he -would call upon the Court to direct that nothing en- j darsed upon the back of the bin should be seen , as the traversera had do right to see the -witnesses -whose j names -were sent to the Jnry . They might ^ jompare one copy -with the clerk cf the Crown , hut they had not a tight eves to handle the indictment . Mr . Henn did not want to do more than have Mb tlifint ' s copy legally compared in the ordinary manner ; ¦ but he submitted that the Tule to plead should ran from the time the comparison was made . :
The Chifei Justice—This part of your application , Ht Henn , is the subject of anpthei motion , and a motion « n notice , -which should be given to Jh © AJtonsy-Qenelal before you brfaig the matter befare the Court The origiBal application was » o have famished copies compared , and you have got it Mr . M'DDnough thenapplied in the case of the " Qaeen Bg&inst Daniel O'Caunell , * " that Ms client ; the traverser , should be furnished with a copy of the caption of tbe indictment , -which "was not furnished , as it should have teen , by the Crown solicitor .
Tbe Attorney-General said , there -was & short answer to tb&appikafion made by Mr . M'Donough—it was a motion without notice . The opposite side might serve notice of this motion if they pleased , and when th ? y faro * to make it before their Xordships , he ( the Attor-Bey-& = neralf -would oppose it . The Biatter at present Stood as follows : —The Crown yesterday -was entitled to have a rule to ^ plead sntered . The Gourt , if it-pleased , eonld extend the time to plead npen cause shewn ; and if Mr . M'Donongh wished to come forward with a aaotioa foz an extension of the time to plead , on the 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 Attomey-Seneral ) -would oppose as he had already Stated . Mr . H * 3 > onongh observeA , that was not his present
The Attorney-General said they did not know -what his motion -was . Mr . M-Donongh—So it appears . ( A laughj Tbe Attorney-General—I have already aid that if yon give notice of your motion , I -will oppose it ; and nntil you comply "with that « leai mis of this Court , their Lordships will not entertain your application . ! £ he Court decided that notice Tnusfc be given . Mr . Whiteside asked to be allowed to give notice for to-morro"w morning . The Attorney objected , ha would -wish to see the
notice . Mr . M'Bonough—Our notice of motion is simply this—The Chief Justice—We have already heard Mr . Henn , Mi . "Wniteside , and you . Kot twice , if you please . According to the ordinary rules of Court , notice of xnsfion must be served . That rule is more applicable in cases -where counsel says " I require notice , in order that I may decide -whether I -will oppose the motion or not . " In tbe present case , -we cannot go out of "the common course of Court , and therefore let there be Jjotac 8 « f this motion—a frwo-3 ay role . ^ V I « VIHVV TfcJ ¦¦¦ — — — -- " -0

of that body -would thus have been brought to an issue , j It -was only natural then that the greatest anxiety : Bbouia have prevailed as to the fate of the new bills .

The following concluding remarks npon the subject are taken from the Evening Mail : — ] " We cannot avoid expressing our dissatisfaction at this course , not with respect to the prndenceof the Attorney-General in not sending np these bills , for we take it for granted that he baa sound reasons for his fledsion ; bnt at the singular want of discretion which could have induced him to make at such a crisis ss this , and under such momentous circumstances , the Bolemn declaration of an intention which he was net prepared to carry out Anything like vacillation now , any step evincing a want of determination , may be fatal to himself , his career , and the country . A move in retrograde will be claimed by his opponent as a ifctary , ind such a display of indecision in tactics is aot calculated to impart courage to his friends . ' ! > . i

Tbe Morning Chronkle and several oibtr papexa announced that tha "' New Bills had been abandoned . " But the Dublin Monitor ot Monday , ( a usually well-informed paper ) denies this , &ocl says that tbe Bills Will yet be preferred . -After giving the pith of the above proceedings , the Monitor Bays— "It is still , however , their 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 thu « tbe question of the legality of the Repeal Association is to be tried .
It was supposed that the Bills in question would charge tbe parties with High Treason , but this we believe erroneous . In like manner , both the Mail and thaPosf say that the Bills are abandoned—that the Crown Officers , after consultation , considered it ad vis able to retrace their steps ; but this , we have reason to believe , is not correct " Dublin , Nov . li , Mr . Justice Crampton was engaged in hearing short motions this morning nntil 11 o ' clock , at which hour the Attorney-General , the Solicitor-General , Messrs WhHeside , Qneea's Counsel , Hatchell , Queen ' s Counsel , and M'Donougb , Queen's Counsel , entered tbe conrt The attornles of Messrs . O'Coa&ell , Duffy , and others of tbe tr&Yeners were also in attendance , and swore
some affidavits , the nature of which did not transpire . The court was densely crowded by members of the bar and by the public wherever admitted . Mr . T . Steele aud the Bev . Mr . Tyrrell occupied seats under the jury gallery , close to the celebrated Sam Gray , who was brought np in custody of the gaoler of BMmainh&m to receive judgment Mr . Shiel , M . P ., on entering , was warmly greeted 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 occupied 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 his seat to-day at balf 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 , pursuant to order . Samuel Gray was brought up before them , and be ( Sir T . Staples ) sow prayed the judgment on behalf of the Crown . Mr . Wniteside , Queen ' s Counsel , begged their Lordships not to proceed in the matter that day , as the very important motion of " the Queen against Charles Gavin IX ; ffy , proprietor of the Nation , " would otherwise be delayed , he ( Mr . Wniteside ) and bis colleague ( Mr Napier ) being prepared with long legal arguments in behalf of their client ( Gray ) . The Chief Justice did not think they could set tbe order aside , but referred to Toe Attorney-General , who said it was important that the motion of " The Queen against Duffy" should be disposed of that day .
Mr . Wniteside then moved , with much force and length of argument , that a copy of the indictment , including the witnesses' names , and all tbe endorsements on the back of the original , should be delivered to his client , Mr . a G- Duffy , proprietor of the Nation . The Learned Counsel quoted many authorities to snpport his view of the case , "which -iraa to the effect tbat a copy of the indictment meant not only adnpllcate of the subjectmatter of the original , but also of the endorsements of the same . He contended , from lstCarrington and Payne , p . 85 , and several other reports , that there was intrinsic evidence to shew that in England the practice was to give copies of the endorsements .
The Attorney-General opposed the application , but on the ground that he had 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 the practice of giving "BitDeases names was unknown in Ireland , and lor the trnth of that assertion would only refer to their Lordships' experience . He would shew that in England it was equally unknown , and referred to a very recent case reported in tbe Jurist for 1842 , in the 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 the addre&Bes and residences of the witneises . The Attorney-General read the passage , which mentioned that the names and residences' * of thei -witnesses
¦ were applied for , and proceeded to rapport his opposition at considerable length , expressing his belief that the application was menlj to get time . Mr . Whiteside , with all respect to the Attorney-Genera ] , would say he had no right to observe on what was not before the Court The Chief Justice said that the Attorney-General bad quite a right to do so . The Attorney-General proceeded in his argument , and alluded to thB diversity in the notices , manifestly , in his opinion , served for the purpose of creating delay ; and concluded by formally opposing the motion .
Mr . O'Hagan then addressed tbe Court , and waa replied to by the Solicitor-General . Tbe Lord Chief Justice ( having conferred for a few minutes with his brother judges ) said the court were un&nixiously of opinion that the application of the traveraer c&oldsot be granted . It was one not grounded cpon-asy particular statute or state of facts making a peculiar case , which entitled Mr . Charles Gavin Daffy in bis particular person to have an order , which he ( to have it granted ] should induce tbe court to believe waa absolutely necessary fer forwarding the ends of justice , and to ( ifcfend himself against the charges made against him . He has made out no particular case , nor stated any particular facts ; but he comes in and demands tbe na&ies of the witnesses sent npon the back of the
indictment to tbe 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 -was one e « dtbilo jusiiiim , that the Le&rned Counsel for the applicant could not produce a single authority to support the motion , point ont a single instance in whieh 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 opposed to the application , -withont going further into that part of tbe question , the Court were clearly of opinign that they bad 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 Chief Justice in refusing the application .
TBE QCSEK » . THE BEV , KB . TTKBELL Mz . M'Donongh , Q . C ., next rose to move that the copy ° f the indictment furnished to his 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 bis application ,: and in the 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 the 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 the Act of Parliament required . He contended the caption was no part of the indictment- The Bight Hon . Gentleman concluded hia speech is reply at a quarter past five o ' clock .
Sir Coleman O'Lougalin rose and asked whether the Solicitor-General wished to speak on tbe motion . If be did , this was bis 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 on 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 , snd this evening is far advanced , we had better adjourn the farther dfecussion —( laughter ) . The Bench agreed , and the Court ajonrned at hslfpast five o ' clock . The further arguments to be heard en Monday morning . Dublin , Nov . 18 . At eleven o ' clock ttife morning tbe Chief lattice entered tbe court , asd was quickly followed by hit learned brethren ;
! THE QTJBIN V . THB KEV . P . J . T € BRELL . The arguments on the motion whieh was made on Saturday , on the part of the defendant , for a copy of the caption of the indictment , were resumed by Sir Coleman O'Loghlen , who contended , in support of the application , that the law required tbat the caption should be made out , not as the Attorney-General argued , when the record was made np , bnt 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 np when the indictment waa 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 cases it was clear that it must be made up when the indictment : is found . In Johnson ' s case , 6 East , page 583 , their Lordships would find the copy of the caption prefixed
to the indictment ; that , in point of law , tbe officer -was bossd to get the caption made np along with the indictment was elesily inferrable from this , that in order to obtain a copy of it , it must fee required by the defendant before plea pleaded . The Learned Coansel referred to Foster , 230 , the King » . Cooke , State Trials , 33 « , in support of these propositions . He then proceeded to remark tbat the indictment might be quashed if any defect appeared in the caption . Suppose , for instance , that the Indictment was found by a , less number than twelve of the Grand ^ L ^ Z i f aicta 1 ent could be quashed . If tbe officer neglected to make np the caption , the court could issue an order to wmpel him to do so ; and it waa to have an order of this kind made by the couH that he ( Sir Coleman OXoghlen ) ant his learned Friend made the present application . He referred to 5 th ? mjfi " * ^ enoa > ** ^ hich a mandamus was issuad for that parpwe by & superior court to the officer .

The Solicitor-General replied on bsuaif of the Crown . He contended tbat 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 Andrew ' s 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 Btyle of tae court at which the indictment was foond . He admitted tbat In cases of high treason the defendant was entitled to a copy of the caption ; but although tbe Act of Parliament was in force in England as well as Ireland , the practice had never been extended to cases of misdemeanour . The peculiar practice of the Court of Queen ' s Bench showed that a marked distinction existed in its practice in cases of high treason and other cases . The court adjourned for a few minutes . After being twenty minutes in consultation , their Lordships again returned into conrt
The Chief Justice , Judge Burton , 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 , being of opinion tbat the application should be granted .
MOTION FOR Jl J / I 8 T OF CROWN WITNESSES . Mr . Whlteaide , Queen ' s Counsel , Baid that in the case of " the Queen t > . Duffy" he had made application on Saturday for a return of the names of the witn ? 88 es endorsed on the indictment , which had been refused by the ; Conrt 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 at the defendant to the list which he claimed . The case he alluded to was "the King v . Burton , " cited in the case of "theKingw . 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 of 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 ciSser to furnish tbe defendant with a list of their accusers .
The Attorney-General said , that their Lordships had already decided on the two motions brought forward on behalf of Mr . WhiteBidu ' s clients , and there being no notice of the present motion of course he should oppose it . Mr . Whiteside . —In the case I have handed np to the Court , the granting of a list ef the names of witnesses is mentioned as a matter of oourse . Mr . Justice Crampton . —But the objection here is , that yon are taking the Crown by surprise . Mr . Whiteside . —The Crown have nothing to do with it ( A laugh . ) I would not ask a favour from the Crown , because if I did , I know they would not grant it ( Laughter . ) All I want is , 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 cours * Mr . Justice Crampton . —Yon must give notice to the Attorney- General .
Mr . Whiteside . —1 did not know It was in his power to grant my application . Mr . Joatica Crampton—Y « n are not at all mistaken there ; it is not in his power to grant it , nevertheless you must give notice . The Attorney-General said that there were nine other notices of motion served on the part of the defendants , and he 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—Very well ; but certainly tbe Court will not allow a motion similar to those motions already refused to be now brought forward under another name . Mr . Fitzjibbon Baid that the motion was different from those which preceded 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 tbe two motions which bad been Brgued btfore the Court , but their Lordships being of opinion that the defendants were not entitled either to a list of the witnesses on the back of the indictment or to a copy of the caption , he and tbe gentlemen with who n he acted w « re of opinion that the ground on which they could sustain the correlative motten was taken from under their feet , and they should nut therefore bring forward the third motion .
MOTION FOB A BILL OF PABTIC 0 LAB 8 . Mr . Moore said , that in the same case of "the Qaeen « . Daniel O'Connell , " there was another notice of motion served on Saturday , which should come on to-morrow at furthest ( as tbat was tbe last da ; for pleading ) , otherwise they could not move it at all . The Chief 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 Jnstice said that they had made an arrange * ment to bear further argument to-morrow , en &demurrer which lay over , and then go into tbe case of " tbe Queen v . Samuel Gray . " The O * urt would consider whether tboy should give the priority of hearing 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 Chjef Justice then intimated that , if Mr . Moore « as ready to-morrow , he might bring tbe motion on . ' Mr . Justice Crampton , 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 tha Court had nolhiDg but the caption and the indictment before it It appeared to him to have been merely an application to know who the prosecutor in the case was . The Court then adjourned .
THE PROSECDTIONS RUMOURS OF TEE DAT . The Cork Reporter saya : — " W * 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 tbe 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 tbe Chronicle says : —
" According to tbe information which has reached me , the traversers are to file a special demurrer , in the 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 the 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 daring the autumn , were present at some of tbe county Repeal demonstrations ; are to be summoned as witnesses for the defence , to shew tbat nothing whatever in the shape of intimidation existed . " The correspondent of the Tines says . —
" It is currently reported , on the part of the defence , that one of the traversers has no fewer than 30 , tOO 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 , npon which 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 Cariovo Sentinel , a Tory paper : — 11 Debbynane Property . —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 his lease , and now . baving renewed tbe lease , and stopped the mouths of the creditors , he Is preaching peace , and would even accept a federal parliament " The Times Correspondent says 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 .

In one district , the bonseB of Roman Catholics have been singled out by two distinct white marks .

LOUD HAWABDEN'S PROSECUTION . As soon as the Court of Queen ' s Bench shall have time to devote to any other case but the state prosecutions , Mr . Sheil is ^ to show cause against tbe . conditional rule for a criminal information , obtained by Lord Hawarden against Mr . I > aflEy , proprietor of the Natitn . This prosecution , as yon are aware , baa been instituted by Lord Hawarden in consequence of the publication of letters of tbe late Bev . Mr . Davern , a Roman Catholie clergyman , who officiated as euratein a parish adjoining tbe estate of the Noble Lord , in the county of Tipperary .
Mr . Davern , some months previons to his disease , publicly acknowledged himself as tbe writer , and , in a letter published in the Nation , undertook the whole responsibility , and offered to defend his statements by evidence . It was the general belief tbat the action as against the . Nation had been abandonded ; but at the commencement of this term , Mr Davern having died in the mean time , the proceedings were continued against that journal Mr . Shiel ' s motion to set aside the co ditioual rule will be founded npon affidavits from no . lesa than

eighty- three persons , who , if the order should be made absolute , are to be examined at the trial . Several of those , persons have been tenants on tbe Hawarden 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 ASSOCfATION . November 13 . Shortly after one o ' clock 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 , and . stated , " that in becoming a member of the association he was influenced by a desire to offer his strongest testimony againBt the reckless and exasperating policy of the present Government , and to convey the assurance of his sincere identity with his fellow-countrymen in their straggle 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 means alone ( hear , hear ) . The principle of his 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 the peace in agitating the Repeal ( bear , hear ) . No one presumed to make any guoh 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 loBg—( 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
peopie of Ireland —( hear , hisar ) . He would not sally his lips by reading it , but it had fixed on his mind the perfect conviction , that the persons conducting that paper were exceedingly anxious for some tumult 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 streetBof Dublin yesterday , and that the police arrested him ; he hoped he was severely punished , for he was doubly criminal—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 perseverance ) of the people—and it would go very hard if he did not find out some moans 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 , and sacred cause in which they were engaged —the cause of the liberty of their country— ( cheers ) . The Honourable Gentleman then read the address .
"TO TUB PEOPtB OP IRELAND . " Fellow Countrymen , —I never felt half tbe anxiety which I do at present to be distinctly understood in tbe advice I give , and to have that advice implicitly obeyed . " reason of this anxiety is , that if ray advice be followed , tbe restoration of the Irish Parliament will assuredly be obtained—and obtained in & manner the most honourable to the religious and peaceable people of Ireland . " I earnestly call npon 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 in Ireland ; that there shall not be the smallest riot , tumult , or violence ; no public meeting , unless it be called by public advettisement , sanctioned at least by some of the clergy ; and not even then , except for the a » le purpose of petitioning the Queen and the 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 tbe obtaining of repeal , provided only that the people preserve tbe condition of the most perfect quietude during those trials . It will be easy to preserve tranquillity after those trials shall—as they onght—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 is an eneniy of mine and of yours . Arrest every such man , and bring him before the police . "Let there not be , I conjure you , the smallest disturbance . Any man who joins in any disturbance , I proclaim to be my personal enemy . If yon 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 God . " 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 tbat in which I have instructed tbe 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 , Bach 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 1 b what we now have in progress . We have hitherto—blessed be Qod !—had all cur efforts marked by perfect peace and tranquillity . Let there be no deviation whatseever from that peaceable and tranquil conduct I want that everybody Bhould remain in peace and at home during the coming trials , and until after they are completely over . He is an eneniy who wool J violate this request of mine—if indeed anybody should be fonnd 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 tbat event may be ; but to continue calm , peaceable , tranquil , and loyal . And if this advice be fallowed , I anticipate , and I tbink 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 dmty Immediately to abandon tbe Kepeal c&lse , and to forsake a people who , at each a critical period as the present , w « uid not follow the advice I so earnestly give them . " I however , have no fears tbat my counsel will be disobeyed . I confidently expect that the people will not injure my cause , and the cause of Ireland , by disregarding my advice .
i " Be therefore calm , quiet , tranquil , peaceful , loyal . Violate no law of man—obey with devout reverence the lave 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 Rav . Mr . Tyrrell ( one of the traversers ) , 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 for Mr . O'Connell , as a Roman Catholic to do , or for him ( Mr . Tyrrell ) , as a Roman Catholic priest , to sanction— - ( hear ) . 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 ot 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 asked 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 tbe subject was owing to the exertions of the Repealera , who had the consolation of having set the stagnant mass in motion , and given rise to the prospect ot a healthy irrigation . He wished everybody to give all possible assistance to . Una commtaion , althongh ( not very well

aitis 9 ed with the parsons appointed . That , however , was the fault of the Government , who offered to nominate Mr . M . O'FarraH , feut that gentleman could not serve owing to bad | 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 orcans of tbe Government for pensioning the R-, man ; Catholio 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 / bnt even that the Roman Catholics clergy of Ireland would refuse , as they bad 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—( bear ) . The paper he alluded to paid the Catholic clersy the compliment of sayicg tbat 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 tbat 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 tbat the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland would never consent to a state provision , Mr . OCoDnell read the following letter from Mr . Sturge , which will explain itself . — I
" TO J . M . BAY , SECRETARY TO THE LOYAL NATIONAL REPEAL ( ASSOCIATION , DUBLIN . " I am thia morning favoured with thy letter of the 9 tb 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 jof Repeal should clearly define who is to advise the Sovereign in the exercise of that power . i
" You contend that the prerogative of the Crown includes within its 1 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 tbat * the Sovereign can do no wrong , ' the Ministers of tbe Crown , who are controlled by a majority of the House of Commons , give or refuse the R > val assent to wh » 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 ; whom the Ministers of tbe 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 ssparate ; and your full recognition of an equality of civil and religious rights is eminently calculated to remove the prejudices of tbe boBttst-minded , 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 Sti / rge . " " Birmingham , l ! th of 11 th Menth . "
Mr . O'Connell said that he required an Irish Parliament oaly for Irian affairs , and that the persons in the administration of those affairs should have tbe confidence of that Parliament He intended that the contiol of the Irish Parliament should apply only to the employment of the instruments of power in Ireland , leaving to the British Parliament the geaeral administration of the country and the selection of the Crown . i Amongst some sums of money handed in were £ 52 from Armagh and £ IOG from Cork ( as proclamation money ) . {
Mr . O'Connell handed in £ 51 18 s . from 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 York , and he thought a great portion of the proceedings deserved their marked reprobation—( bear , hear ) . ] Tbey 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 the Repeaktvas carried , and placed the following document before the meeting : — " Outlines of a proposed Finanoial arrangement between Great Britain and Ireland , after the Repeal .
" l . That the principle of the arrangement be that the revenues of Ireland be spent at home . " 2 . That tbe first charge upon her revenues be her debt , as it stands at present . " 3 . Tbat her contribution to the imperial active expenditure be as now , according to the fall measure of her ability , as ] shown by a comparison of tbe products of equal taxes in both conntries , or such other elements of comparison as may be agreed upon . " 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 five years after the Repeal . " 5 . That if it be deemed expedient at the time of the Rspeal tbat Ireland should be charged with any debt beyond what appears charged to her in the public accounts , sach debt be transferred from the English to the Irish funds . i
" 6 . That the 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 tbe control and management of the revenues of Ireland , j 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 tbe Repeal Rent for tbe week to be £ 1 , 070 199 . 5 d . ( Loud cheers . ) The association adjourned to Monday next
MR . OCONNELL . It is stated to-day that Mr . O'Connell 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 haa . removed to the country residence , within a few miles from this city , of his son , tilt .

LANDLORD AND TENANT COMMISSION . Although Lard Viyon , the chairman , is daily expscted , it is is doubtful whether the inquiries of the Commission will commence before January . j 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 tbe half-year ' s rent charge , amount £ due to the Batl of Donoughmore , onj the 1 st of November inst ., out of the parish of ¦
" Lord Donoughmore has given me peremptory orders to hand over to bis 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 suppress and prevent" the Clontarf meeting . We cannot wonder , then , at his being very " peremptory" in his orders , or that a spice of the Proclamation should app « & » ia his directions fco his agents , Aad was it fer this that , with desperate fidelity , tbe Irish people for jlong years waged the Tithe War , and remained R&shaken till their leaders betrayed them ? It is the most disgraceful page in the history of Irish agitation is that same base Tithe compromise ! —Dublin Monitor . I
THE MARQUIS OF WaTERPORD Has addressed the following letter to the gentlemen of the county of Tipperary : — ! " Carraghmore , Nov . 8 . " Gentlemen , —I have deferred writing to yon until some final arrangement as to hunting your county had been made ; Mr . Millett has undertaken that office , and I now beg to thank yoa for the kind attention and support you have shown me doting the period I resided amongst you . jl 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 , 184 » ,
they were again poisoned . I discovered the offender and forgave him , but stated publicly that if a similar outrage were again committed I shoold give np banting 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 had 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 .

WARLIKE PREPARATIONS . ( From the 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 . , .

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 progress to render it as defensible as possible . We sabjoin 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 .

Leeds Woollen Markets . —We have nothing fresh to note in the state of the markets this week The demand for goods continues , and the recent wool sales would seem to indicate a 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 kinds 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 rateB they cannot realise a profit . Yarn . —Yarns continue in 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 , Satubday , Nov . 11 . — At our market this morning we had a good supply of Wheat from the country , bat scarcely equal to the deliveries of tbe last few weeks , and having a demand for shipments coastwaya , sales were freely effected at an advance of fully Is . per quarter . In 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 wees . 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 eiearance was with difSoaltf made at last week ' s enrrency . Ship Corn dull , bat not lower .
