IHE SIATE TRIALS . —QUEEN'S BENCH . Dnblin , Not . 9 . Mr . Justice Crampton sat this morning , at half-part ten o'clock , to bear motions of « raraa . He rose shortly after eleven o ' clock to meet tha other Judges in a . Const of Error , "where their lordships vrere occupied until four o'clock . In consequence of an intimation from the Attorney--G- » ceraiat the rising of the Court yesterday evening that It "was Ms Intention to send up a fresh bill of indictment to the Grand Jury against four of the parties implicates , and the Jury having been direeted to be in attendance this morning , the Court and Hall
were much crowded throughout the xlay by persons anxiously desirous of ascertaining the nature of the charges laid in the new indictment , the names of the psrdes charged , and whether the jnry , who were « losetedall day , Trould find ths bill It was net until this hour < qoarter-past feur o ' clock ) , and " after the Jury had retired , that I ascertained that the indietment had not been sent up , and that the Jury lud been ocenpied all day "with fiscal business . The nature of the indictment has not transpired . A rumour prevailed in the hall that it 1 b lor high treason , founded on the information of " traitora from the Repeal camp . " Others state as confidently that it is for misdemeanour only .
At tsar-past four o ' clock the Jutgea entered the Court . Mr . Henn , Q- C , then Jose and said , he had to apply to the Court on behalf of Daniel O'Conaell , one of the traverseis , for liberty to compare his copy of tbe indictment with the ordinal MIL He moved en the affidavits of Mr . Ford , Mr . Cantwell , and Hi . Pierce Mabony , solicitors for several of the traversers . Messrs . Yard and Cantwell stated that , in pertormanee-of their duties , they attended in the office of Mr . Walter Bourne , at the hour of eleven o'clock in iheiorencon of ttis day , for the pnrpqse of comparing a . ezpy of the indictment found in this prosecution with the original , ana asked Mr . Bourne "would he allow the copy to be compared with the aid indictment ? Wherenjcn Mr . Bourne stated that it "was at his private residence in Eareourt-street , and not in his office , and consequently It w-tf . d not be compared . Messrs . Ford and Cautwell called again , but Mr . Bourne toM them he had it . but
Vonld not aHow it to be compared with any of the « opies , having received directions not to allow anything of tbe kind . Mi . Forth deposed that he then immediately addressed himself to Mr . K-mais , Crown Solicitor , and asked him if he bad given such directions on the part of the Crown ? In reply , Mr . Xenraiis said he had given BO such- direcfiona . Deponent further saith , that having conveyed to Mr . Bourne the reply of Mr . Semmis , ihe former stated tiat he wonld not allow any of them to be compared without an order from the Court for that purpose ^ Mr- Henn continued to say , it is essentially necessary that before we plead we should ascertain , beyond all doubt , that thB copy we received is a true and correct copy of the " original indictment ; for should it turn oat that there was a material variance between these copies famished to ¦ as £ r-d tfie bill of indictment , our demurrer would l > e ruled , not according to the copy furnisked to us , but i > y the record of the Court
-The Attcrney-Gsneral here entered the court , and ZTfce Chief-Jnstice informed him that an application ! haaiteen made upon behalf of Mr . O * C « jnell to have ; one of tine copies of the indictment compared with the ' the original . " i The Attorney-General—I apprehend , my Lord , that j the copies served by the deik of the Crown were j j yroperJy certified ; therefore , if that is the case , I do not feel that there is anything out of the ordinary eoursa to be done in this case , more than in any otter . Mr . "Whiteside contended , that the traverserB -were &D legally entitled to have copies compared . Alterations had already been mode in the indietment , and it Vas better for tbtm to have correct eopies of it , than to get a wrong one , whish would cause mistakes , and ' protract the proceedings . If the officer certified that the document "was a copy , it did not make it a true copy , and his client had a risbt to have it compared .
The SoUeitoT-General remarked , that a certified copy i was the same as a confirmed one , as it would not be certified without comparing it The Chief-Justice—I think there should be no objection to the present application . I # et one copy be therefore compared . The Attorney-Qfineral wonld not further object ; bat hB would call upon the Court to direet thai nothing en-, dorsed npon the back of the bill should he seen , as the traveraar had so right to see the witnesses whose names Trere sent to the Jnry . They might compare one copy wi&tbe clerk of the Crown , but they had not a light even to handle ; he indictment Mr . Henn did not want to do more than have his client ' s copy legally compared in the ordinary manner ; but he submitted that the rule to plead afeonld run from the time the comparison was made .
The ChisJ Justiee—This part of your application , Mi . Hecn , is the sur-jed of another motion , and a motion on notice , which should be given to tbe Attomcy-Oeneralbefore you bring the matter before the Court . The original application was to have famished copies compared , and you have go : it Mr . M'Donough then applied in the case of the " Qneen against Daniel O Counell , " that his client , the traverser , should be furnished with a copy of tbe caption of the indictment , -which was Dot furnished , as it should have been , by the Crown solicitor .
The Attorney-General said , there was a abort answtr ta the application made by Mr . M'DDnongb—it was a Botlon without notice . The opposite side might serre notice of this motion if tcey pleased , and when they came to-niaka it before their Lordships , be ( ths . Attoruey-G ^ neiral ) would oppose it The BiatteT at present stood as follows : —The Crown yesterday was entitled to have a rule to plead dtered . The Court , if it pleased , could extend the time to plead upen cause shewn ; and if Mr . M'Danongb wished to come forward with a motion for an extension of the time to plead , on tbe ground of his not having received a copy of tbe caption of the indictment , it was competent for him to do so , and serve notice of that motion , which he ( the Attomey- € bneral ) would oppose as he had already stated . 3 ir- id'Donough observe ! , that was not his present motion .
Tbe Attorney-General said they did not know what his ttoxS on was . Mr . il-D-jnough—So it appears . ( A laugh . ) Tbe Attorney-General—1 have already said that if you jive notice of your motion , I will oppose it ; and until you comply with that dear rule . of this Court , their Lordships will not entertainvonr application . The Court decided that notice must be given . Mr . Whiteside asked to be allowed to give netiee for to-morrow morning . Tbe Attorney objected , he would wish to see the
notice . Mr . M'Donough—Our notice of motioniB simply this—The Chief Justice—We have already heard Mr . Henn , Mr . Whiteslde , and you . Kot twice , if -yon please . According to the ordinary rules of Court , notice of mstion must be served . That rule is more applicable in cases where counsel says " I require notice , in order that 1 may decide whether I 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 of this motion—a two-day rule .
The Court then adjourned until tomorrow , at halt past ten o ' clock . Dablin , ~ Not . 10 . The Court of Queen ' s Bench was again this day the grand focui of attraction , it being the general expectation , as was intimated on the previous day by the Attorney-General , tiiat fresh bills of indictment would be sent before the Grand Jury against some of tbe parties ¦ who already stand charged before the Court on other accusations , It was understood that the new bills charged Messra . Daniel O'ConneH , Thomas-Steele , J . M . Bay , and Dz . Gray , wdthattendipg an unlawful assembly—namely , the Repeal Association ; and it was surmised that the question of the legality or illegality
of that body vonld thns havB been bronght to an issue . It was only natural then that the greatest anxiety should have prevailed aa to the fate of tbe new bills . Bjaaenr had IV that they charged ihB parties with treason ; that sundry letters bad been abstracted from Secretary ^ Rayi bureau at the Corn-Exchange ; and npon these documents it was alleged the bills had been framed —these , with other surmises , met ready belief . No bate , ijowereijTrera seat up , and it tonspirea early in 3 &e forenoon , and out of Court , **»*• ¦ the intention of farther proceedings npoa 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 afternooa .
The following concluding remarks upon the subject ase taken irom the ^ voting Mail : — " We cannot ^ void expressing our dissatisfaction at ttii course , not with respect to thB prndence of tbe Attorney-General in not sending up these bills , for we tato it for granted that he has sound reasons for his aed » tm ; but at the singular want of discretion which coaia have induced him to make at such a crisis aa this , and under such momenteus circumstances , the aolemn declaration ol an intention which he was not prepared to cany out Anything like vacillation now , SV-I ^ i ^ f ? . * 'Want ^ determination , may "te fatal to himself , i * career , and the country ! A iove in Trill be claimea
retrograde by Ms opponent as & ^ ietca ? , And eueh a dl * pl » y ol inaeciaion in tactics is not calculated to impart eomageto his Mends . " At four o ' clock the Court adjourned . Nothing coaneoted - with the itota prosecutions came pubbcly btfore it ; but the Biree atSomeys for the defendants , Messrs . Vabosy , Gartland , and Cantwell , swore affidavits before the Cler * of tbe Crown , the nature of whieh ^ id -sot transpire . They urere ^ it is believed , intended a * a ground for as application to the Court for as extension beyond Monday of the time allowed the parties to plead or ; demur to the indietment . Several -of the parties against whom bill * have been already foand remained tin the last moment anxiously waiting
in tbe vicinity of the grand jury room up to the adjournment of the Court , in the hope ascertaining the names of the newly indicted , or some circumstance connected with the proceedings of the jury , who even at that hour were unaware of the alteration in the Attorney Genenl ' j viewi with respect to tbe " farther TnfarniiltiPTl ^" :

The Morning Chronicle and BeVcrol other papera an * nonnceil that the New Bills had been abandoned . " Bat the Dublin Monitor of Monday , ( a usually well-informed paper ) denies this , and says that the Bills will yet be preferred . After giving the pith of the above proceedings , the Monitor says— "It is still , however , their intention to prefer the Bills ; -and the parties named , against whom this proceeding is to be directed ; are air . oconnen , mt . steele , Dr . Gray , and Mr . Ray , vho are to be indicted as members of an illegal Assooi&tion , sad that tbe question of tbe legality of the Repeal Association is to be tried .
It waa 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 tha Post Bay that tbe Bills are abandoned—that the Crown Officers , after consultat ion , considered it advisable 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 atoming until II o ' clock , at which hour tbe Attorney-General , the Soliciter-General , Messrs . Whitesdde , Queen ' s Counsel , Hatchell , Qneen ' s Connsel , and M'Danough , Queen ' s Counsel , entered the court The attomles of Messrs . O'Connell , Daffy , and others of tho traverserB -were also in attendance , and swore
some affidavits , the nature of which did not transpire . The court waa densely crowded by members of tbe bar antl by the public wherever admitted . " Mr . T . Steele and the Rev . Mr . Tjrrell occupied seats nnder the jnry gallery , close to the celebrated Sam Gray , who was brought up in custody of-. the gaoler of BMmainham to reeeive judgment Mr . Sbiel , M . P ., on entering , was warmly greeted by Mr . Steele . To the evident disappointment of every one , hiB Lordship rose and gave the usual announcement , bo dreaded by all lately , that he had to meet the other Judges in error in the ca&e of the convicts 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 tour courts .
Judge Burton , however , took his seat to-day at half past one o ' clock , and was followed shortly after by the Chief Justice asd Judges Crampton and Perrin . Sir T . Staples , Queen's Counsel , informed their Lord-Bbips that , pursmant to order , Samuel Gray was Drought up before them , and he ( Sir T . Staples ) now prayed the judgment on behalf of the Crown . Mr . Whiteside , Queen ' s Counsel , begged their Lordships not to proceed in the matter that day , as the very important motion of "the Qaeen against Charles Gavin D-jfiy , proprietor of the Nation , " would otherwise be delayed , he ( Mr . Whiteside ) 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 the order aside , bnt referred to The Attorney-General , who said it was important that themotien of " The Qaeen against Duffy" should be disposed of that day .
Mr- Whiteside then moved , with mnch force and length of argument , that a copy of the indictment , including the ¦ witnesses' names , ajd all the endorsements on the back of the original , Bhould be delivered to his client , Mr . C . G . Daffy , proprietor of the Nation . The Learned Counsel quoted many authorities to support his view of the case , which was to the effect that a copy of the indictment meant not only a duplicate of the Bubjectmatrer of the original , but also of tbe endorsements of the same . Se contended , from 1 st Carrington and Pdjne , p . 85 , and several other reports , that there waa intrinsic evidence to shew that in England tbe practice was to give copies of the endorsements .
The Attorney-General opposed the application , bnt 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 unknown in Ireland , and for the truth of that assertion would only refer to their Lordships' experience . He wonld shew that in England it was equally unknown , and referred to a very recent case reported in the Jurist tor 18 * 2 , in tbe matter of the " Queen v . Gordon , " wherein Mr . Ju&tice Pattison bad stated that such an application was unprecedented . Mr . Justice Perrin thought that case referred merely to tbe addresses asd residences of the witnesses . The Attorney-General read the passage , which mentioned that '' the names and residences' * cf the witnesses
were applied for , ant ! proceeded to support his opposition at considerable length , expressing bia belief that the applicatien wu merely to get time . ilr . Whlteside , -with all respect to the Attorney-G-neral , would say he had no right to observe on what was not before tbe 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 the diversity in tbe notices , manifestly , in his opinion , served for the purpose of creating delay ; and concluded by formally' opposing the motion-Mr . O'Hagan then addressed the Court , and was replied to by tbe 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 travtrser csnld not be granted . It was one not grounded upon any particular statute or state of facts making a P * rnliar case , which entitled Mr . Charles Gavan Duffy in liis particular person to have » n order , which he ( to haTe it grantad ) sbenld induce the court to believe was absolutely necessary fer forwarding the ends cf justice , and to defend himself against tbe charges made against him . He has made out no particular case , nor stated any particular facts ; bnt he comes in and demands the na&jes of the witnesses sent upon 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 Bgainst him . It was very extraordinary that if the application waa one ea deoiio juxtilim . that tbe Learned Coansel for tbe applicant could not produce a single authority to support the motion , point ont 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 moticn altogether unprecedented ; and being without precedent , and the practice being reported by tbe officer of the Court to be diametrically oppeeed to the application , without going further into that part of the question , the Court were clearly of opinion 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 .
TBB QTTBEN V . THE SEV . KB . ITRBELL . Mr- M'Donough , Q . C ., next rose to move that the copj of the Indictment fhrnisbed to bis 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 Indietment was necessary for the defence , and that it was not sought for the purpose of causing delay . The learned connsel spoke at considerable length in support of his application , and in the course of his eloquent address cited a variety of cases which 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 banded down by the Grand Jury , and that was all the Act of Parliament required . Be contended tbe caption iraa no part of tbe indiet . ment The Right Hon . Gentleman concluded his speech in reply at a Quarter past five o'clock .
Sir Coleman O'Longhlin rose and asked whether the Solicitor- Ganeral wished to speak on the motion . If he did , this was his time , and not in reply to the second counsel for tbe 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'Longhlin was then proceeding to speak , when Mr . M'Donougb said , with much naivete , my Lord , as this is a constitutional question , and this evening is far advanced , we bad better adjourn the further dteensaioD —( laughter ; . The Bench agreed , and the Court ajeurned at helfpast five o ' clock . The further arguments to be beard en Monday morning . Dublin , Nov . 13 . At eleven o ' clock tUfe morning ike GUef lattice entered the court , asd was quietly followed by ha learned brethren .
THE QUBEji V . THB B . BV . P . i . H 2 RELX .. 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 Coleman O'Loghlen , who contended , in support of the application , that tbe law required that the caption should be made oat , not &b tbe Attorney-General argued , when the record was made up , bnt in point of law it ought to be made out as soon as tbe 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 cases it was dear that it most be mads op when the indictment is found . la Johnson ' s case , 6 East ., pace 583 , their
Lordships would find the copy of the caption prefixed to the indictment ; that , in point of law , the officer wm bound to get the caption made up along with t the indictment was dearly inferrable from this , ^ that in order to obtain a copy of it , it must ! be required by the defendant before plea pleaded . , The Learned Coansel referred to Foster , 230 , the King * .

The Solieitor-Ganeral replied on behalf of tbe Crown . He contended that tbe caption was no part of tbe 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 style of the court at which the indictment was foand . He admitted that in cases of high treason the defendant was entitled , to a copy of the caption j bnt although the 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 tne application , and at great length . Mr . Justice Perrin delivered bis judgment also at considerable length . The Learned judge differed with the rest of the Bench , being of opinion that the application should be granted .
MOTION FOB A LIST OF CROWN WITNESSES . Mr . Whiteside , Qaeen ' s Connsel , said that In the case of "the Queen v . Duffy" he bad made application on Saturday for a return of the names of the wltn ? Bses endorsed on the indictment , whieh 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 of the defendant to the list which be claimed . The case he alluded to was " the King « . Burton , " cited in the caseof " the King v . Dr . Parnell , " in Sir William . Blackatone ' a Reports , first volume , page 36 , where the Lord Chief Justice of 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 wonld beg leave to hand up the case to their Lordships , and call upon them , in accordance with that high authority , to direct their o&cer to furnish the defendant with a list of their accusers .
The Attorney-General said , that their Lordships bad already decided on the two motions brought forward on behalf of Mr . Whiteside ' s clients , and there being no notice of the present motion of course he should oppose it Mr . Whiteside- —In the case I have banded up to the Court , the granting of a list of the names of witnesses is mentioned ns a matter of course . Mr . Justice Crampton- —But the objection here Is , that you are taking the Crown by surprise . Mr . Wbiteside . —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 tbe Court should direct tbe officer of the court to do that which , according to the diclum of the Chief Ju&tico of England , is a matter of course . Mr . Justice Crampton . —You must give notice to the Attorney-General .
Mr . Whiteside . —I did not know It was in his power to grant my application . Mr . Justice Cravnpten . —Yeu 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 tne part of tbe defendants , and he wished to know if they intended to move npun any of them ? air . Fitzjibbon , Queen ' s Counsel , said they had sent for Mr . Moore , who was to move tbe next motion . The Chief Justice—Very 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 . Fitzjibbon sa \ d that the motion was different from th&SB 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 ho had been instructed to move an application consequent on the two motions which bad been argued 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 the gentlemen with wboji he acted were of opinion that the ground on which they could sustain the correlative motien was taken from under their feet , and they should not therefore bring forward the third motion .
MOTION FOR A BILL OF PARTICULABS . Mr . Moore said , that In the same case of "the QueeD v . Daniel O'Connell , " there vas 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 all . The Chief Justice . —What is tbe nature of tbe 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 farther argument to-morrow , en a demurrer wbicb lay over , and then go into the case of " tbe Qaoen v . Samuel Gray . " The O « urt would consider whether thoy should give the priority of hearing to Samuel Gray ' s case or to Mr . Mot / re ' s motion . Mr . Moore said that , if they did not move it to-morrow , it wonld be too late .
The Chief Justice then intimated that , if Mr . Moore was ready to-morrow , he might bring the motion on . Mr . Justice Crampton , at the very rising of the Court , said they bad looked into the case handed up by Mr . Whiteside , and it appeared to be a case removed by certiorari to tbe King ' s Bench , and the Court had nothing bnt tbe 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 PROSECUTIONS . —RUMOURS OF THE DAT . The Cork Reporter says : —
" We learn that tbe names of a number of highly respectable and influential persons—net Repealersresidents of the city and county of Cork , including those of the Mayor and Sir Octavins Carey , the Goneral commanding tbe district , were this day forwarded to Dablin , with a view to these gentlemen being examined for tbe defence on the pending state trials , whenever those trials take place . " The correspondent of the Chronicle says a" According to the information which has reached me , tbe 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 tills kind will be quite distinct from the pleadings , which are in preparation . Whether the 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 says : — " It is currently reported , on tbe part of the defence , that one of the traversers has no fewer than 30 , 000 witnesses to bring forward ; and by way of further procrastinating the proceedings , it is Bald that ten notices for bills of particulars have been served , one for each traverser respectively , upon 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 REPEAL RENT . The following appears in tbe Carlow Setitinel , a Tory paper : — " The Derbtnane Property . —It is a fact very little known that Mr . O'Connell has succeeded in saving bis property from the hammer , by paying off some very heavy encumbrances by the fruits of this year ' s agitation , and he has also been enabled to pay the renewal fines due to Trinity College , for the perpetuity of bis lease , and now having renewed tbe lease , and stopped the months of the creditors , he is preaching peace , and "would even accept a federal parliament . " The Tivtee Correspondent says : — " It is stated , that on Saturday last , £ 3 , 000 worth of the stock in which the Kepeal rent has been invested , was sold out to furnish the sinewa of delay . Satisfactory disposal of the " proclamation money " this ! STATE OF THE COUNTRY .
Signal Fires in the North . —A Fermanagh paper says— " We learn with great regret that tboae mysterious movements , which in other counties manifested themselves in lighting of straw and making bonfires , have commenced here . In one district , the bouses of Roman Catholics have been singled ont 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 . "
LORD HAVTARDEN ' S PROSECUTION . As soon as tbe Conrt of Queen ' s Bench snail have time to devote to any other case but tbe state prosecutions , Mr . Shell is to show cause against the conditional rule for a criminal information , obtained by Lord Hawarden against Mr . Duffy , proprietor of the Natittn . This prosecution , as you are aware , has been instituted by Lord Hawarden in consequence of tbe publication of letters of the late Rev . Mr . Davern , a Roman Catholie cUrgyman , who officiated as curate in a parish adjoining the estate of the Noble Lord , hi the county of Tipperary .
: Mr . Davern , some months previous to bis disease , publicly acknowledged himself as the writer , and , in a letter published in tbe Nation , undertook tbe whole responsibility , and offered to defend his statements by evidence . ; It was the general belief tbat the action aa against the : Nation had been nbandonded ; 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 conditional rule wm be founded upon affidtmta from ng lew than

eighty-three persons , who , if the order should be made absolute , are to be examined at the trial . Several of those persons have beau tenants on the Hawarden estates , and amongst the . number are some extensive landholders in the neighbcarhood , and some Roman Catholiq Clergymen . In the event of a trial Mr . Duffy is to put in a plea of justificatian , which be will be enabled to do under tne new libel lav . This case , especially in consequence of the issuing of the Irish landlord and tenant commission , excites the deepest interest
REPEAL ASSOCIATION . November 13 . Shortly after one o ' clock Mr . O'Gonnell entered the Conoiliation-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 against the reckless and exasperating policy of the present Government , and to convey the assurance of hiB sincere identity with
his 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 faofc 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 suooess by violent means that did not eud either in anarchy or military despotism ( hear , hear ) . This
theory he announced five thousand times , and he practically acted upon it in carrying Emancipation ; and ho 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 thiy ever violated the peace in agitating the Repeal ( hear , hear ) . No one presumed to make any suoh 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 long —( laughter ) . But he pejreeived that their enemies were endeavouring to irritate tbe people in every direotion . There was a paragraph in the Times ,
of Saturday , most insulting and irritating to the people of Ireland—( hear , hear ) . He would not sally his Iipsby 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 streets of 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'ConnelJ ) had now to read an address which he had prepared to the people of Ireland , and to moye 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 fiud 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 , and sacred cause in which they were engaged —the cause of the liberty of their country—( cheers ) . The Honourable Gentleman then read the address .
11 TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND . " Fallow 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 tbe 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 , ia this—I wish 1 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 ndveitisement , sanctioned at least by some of the clergy ; and not even then , except for the sole purpose of petitioning the Queen and tbe 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 tbat tbe people preserve the condition of the most perfect quietude daring those trials . It -will be easy to preserve tranquiUity after those trials shall—us they ought—have terminated successfully for the 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 tbat he is an enemy of mine and of yours . Arrest every such man , and bring him before tbe police . " Let there not be , I conjure yon , the smallest disturbance . Any man who joins 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 God . " Recollect that the principle npon which we have looked for the Repeal of tbe Union , is—that it can be obtained only 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 the people of Ireland , is , that all tbe 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 eould be got by forcible means , such means create more evila than they cote , and leave tbe country worse than they found it . " This great experiment of improving Ireland by peaceable means Is what we now have iD progress . We have hitherto—blessed be God f—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 , should remain in peace and at home 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 . - .. *' . '¦ "But ^ attend to me—if ther e be daring the trials the slightest outbreak of violence in any parish , It will be my duty immediately to abandon the Bepeal cause , and to forsake a people who , at such a critical period aa tbe present , weuid not follow the advice I so earnestly give them . "I however , ha * e no fears that my counsel will be disobeyed . I confidently expect that tbe people will not injure my cause , and the cause of Ireland , by disregarding my advice .
"Be therefore calm , qiiiet , tranquil , peaceful , loyal . Violate , no taw 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 of 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 Berve the cause , and gratify the heart of " Your devoted friend , "Daniel O'Connell .
The Rev . Mr . TYRREI / t ( one of the tr&veisevs ) , in seconding the motion , defended himself and the Repealers generally ! from the imputation tbat 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 tbe 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 asked how it was that the Government bad 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 prospector a healthy Irrigation . He wished eyetybody to give all possible aaaMaacs to tbia commisaion , although \ not very well

satis 3 ed with the persons appointed . That , however , was the fault of the Government , who offered to nominate Mr , M . OFarrall , but that gentleman eould 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 . j Mr . O'Connell next alluded to a proposition from one of the leading onrans of tbe Government for pensioning the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland at the 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 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 he had plenty of people asking for something to satisfy —( hear ) . The paper be alluded to paid the Catholic clergy the compliment of saylsg 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 that was that a certain piece of land in the shape of a glebe , and a house situated Within eaeh pariah , should be Jianded down from enei pastor to another . Having again stated tbat tbe Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland would never consent to a state provision , Mr . O'Connell read the following letter from Air . Sturge , which will ' explain itself : — [
" 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 tbe resolutions passed by your association , on tbe 30 th ultimo , and calling my attention particularly to the fourth , in wbicb 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 . ' ! " Bufore giving a reply , I would respectfully submit tbat 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 withiu its operation all , or nearly all , the matters for which what was designated ' Imperial Legislation' ia thought to be necessary ; but , as it is a maxim of the British Constitution that ' the Sovereign can do no wrong , * tbe Ministers of the Crown , who are controlled by a majority of the House of Commons , give or refuse the ; Royal assent to wast measures they think fit ; and it is held by many truo friends of Ireland tbat as long as we are one kingdom there uiust be some one body to whom the Ministers of tbe Crown are responsible , and tbat this body should be the
representatives of the whole nation . " If all who desire equal justice to Ireland agree upon great and jwell-dtfiued principles , minor details will not , I trust , j keep them long soparate ; and your full recognition of an equality of civil and religious rights is eminently calculated to remove the prejudices of the boQsst-minded , the fears of the timid , and to show to the world at large that yon seek only impartial justice for all your fellow aubjects . j " Yery respectfully , [ " Joseph Stubge . " " Birmingham , 11 th of 11 th Month . "
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 Be intended that the control of the Irish ' Parliament should apply only to the employment of tbe instruments of power in Ireland , leaving to the British Parliament the general administration of the } country and the selection of the Crown . } Amongst somei sums of money handed in were £ 52 from Armagh and £ 100 from Cork ( as proclamation money ) . f
Mr . O'Connell handed in £ 51 18 s . from Manchester , and £ 44 14 s . 6 < i . from Carthisland , county of Kerry . He had seen in tile newspapers an account of a Repeal Convention in New York , and be thought a great portion of the proceedings deserved their marked reprobation —( bear , hear ) . They had a communication from that Convention ; bat as a matter of precaution he would move tbat ne communication from that Convention should be received until it was submitted to the committee for consideration , aa to the suitableness of presenting it to I the association , or returning it to America . ; Mr . John O'Cownell then rose to bring forwardhis plan for the fiscal arrangement between the two countries when the Bepeal was carried , and placed the following document before tbe meeting : — " Outlines of a proposed Financial arrangement between Great Britain and Ireland , 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 npon 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 full measure of her ability , las shown by a comparison of' the products of equal taxes iu both countries , or such other elements of comparison as may be agreed upon . j " 4 . That a revision of the proportions of contributions of either country respectively do take place at such periods as ( nay be agreed upon ; the first to be within five years after tbe Repeal . - j " 5 . That if it jbe deemed expedient at the time of , the Repeal tbat Ireland should be charged with , any , debt beyond what appears charged to her iu the public accounts , such debt be transferred from the English to the Irish funds . I !
" 6 . That the various items of imperial expenditure be apportioned between tbe two countries in such 1 a manner as to obviate all necessity for the revenues of j 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 the supplies on constitutional cause arising . " i
Mr . O Connell announced the Repeal Rent for- the week to be £ 1 , 070 19 s . 5 J . ( Loud cheers . ) Tne association adjourned to Monday next \ MR . O ' CONNELL . ! It is stated to-day that Mr . O'Connell is not in ' , the pos- ' session of that robust health which the Hon .

IRISH ARMS BILL . The Act came into operation this day , The registry of arms is about to commence throughout the country . LANDLORD AND TENANT COMMISSION . Although Lord Davon , tbe chairman , is daily expected , it is is doubtful whether the inquiries of the Commission will . commence before January .
LOBD DONOUGDMOEE—TITHES . . - As an example of tbe generous and forbearing manner in which certain Tory Landlords collect tithes —or , as they are | now called , " Rent Charge "—we subjoin the following from the Cork Reporter : — " 75 , South Mall , Cork , 8 th day of November , 1842 . " Sir , —I beg jto apply to you far the half-year ' s rent charge , amonnt £ due to the Earl of Donoughmore , on the 1 st of November inst ., out of the parish of - ¦ ¦ . . " Lord Donoughmore has given me peremptory orders to hand over to his law agents all accounts not paid within one month after gate-day , so that no further application will be made by me . " am , sir , your obedient servant , \ "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 appeal i * his directions k > bis agents , And . was it foe this that , with desperate fidelity , tbe Irish people for long years waged the Tithe war , &s 4 remained aasnaken till their leaders betrayed them ? It is the j most disgraceful page in the history of Irish agitation ] is that same base Tithe compromise —Dublin Monitorl
THE MARQUIS OP WaTERFORD Has addressed the following letter to the gentlemen of the county of Tipperary : — f " Curraghmore , Nov . 8 . " Gentlemen , —I have deferred wilting to you until some final arrangement aa to hunting your county had been made ; Mr . Millett has 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 yon . I 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 , 1343 ,
they were again poisoned- I discovered the offender and forgave him . but staked publicly that if a similar outrage were again committed I should give up hunting tbe county . In 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 waii 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 atlakefield . { " I have the honour to be , : " Your obedient servant , ; " Waterfokd .

Newcastle Corn Market , Sawjrdav , Nov . U . — At our market this morning we had a good supply of Wheat from the country , but scarcely equal to the deliveries of the last few weeks , and having a demand for shipments ooastways , sales were freely effected at an advance of fully Is . per quarter . Ia coasting parcels or foreign little business was done , holders being dqwilling 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 a ., 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 difficulty made at last week ' s currency . Ship Cora dull , bat not lower . We have no alteration t * note ia the duties .
