THE STATE PROSECUTIONS . The Abatexest Px'ea . —In reference to the reception of this Plea T > J the Conrt , against the wish and -efforts rf a » Crown La-wren , mnd in reference to the ^ rfihst It may have on ttie-whole proceedings , the Dublin Monitor of Mondayias the following : — « The fonr ^ ay : rnle to plead expires to-day , sn £ tt ia aa&ngedttl<he aeauur « - « fll beaargued lo-merro-w . Onr readers are aware of the point to be argued : ft U whether the witnesses on "whose evidence the Grand Jury fonnd the Bill of Indictment should have been sworn in open Court , or before the Grand Jury .. This point ia raised on tie 1 st and 2 d Viet , c 37 , previous to which act all -witnesses in Bills of Indictment were sworn in open Court , under the 56 th Geo . HL , cS 7 .
•' The Act of Victoria , however , recites that the practice of swearing witnesses in open Court caused delay and other inconveniences , and then goes on to enact as follows : — is 5 a therefore enacted that in all cases ¦ where bills ofindiebneni are to be laid before Grtsnd- Juries in Ire-Jasd , for thtir consideration , the Clerk of the Croon at Hit Assizes , and the Clerk ofthePiaceai Qaorier Sessions , vrJiisortheir deputy , shall endorse npon the bacfeof each bill of indictment the name or names of the witness or -witnesses for the crown in support of such hill , and send the same so endorsed to the Grand Jury ; and the foreman , or other member of the Grand Jury , twelve members of the Grand Jury being there at the time , shall , previous to the examination of any witness whose same shall appear endorsed , administer to such witness the oath or solemn affirmation required to . be taken by sneh witness . '
* ' 2 fow , it will be perceived that no mention whatever is made , in the above clause , of the Court of Qzteen " s Bench ; and this omission , it is argued by the Counsel for the Traversers , is fatal to tie Bill of Indictment , because the witnesses should have been sworn in open Court , as provided by the 56 th Geo . III .,, c 87—tfee subsequent Act of Victoria moving no allusion whatever to the Queen ' s Bench . " Should the Gourt decide with the Traversers , the Indictmtnt -will thereby be quashed , and the whole proceedings Tendered null and vwd—if , however , the decision be in favour of the Crown , - then the Tra--reisers -will care to plead to the Indictment forth--with : bat Tre understand that they have other motions in reserve . "
PROCEEDINGS IS COURT . Dublin , Nov . 26 th . This beins the last day for the traversers to comply ; ¦ with the order of the Court to join in the demurrer put ' in by the crown to the pleas in abatement , and as some notion in reference to that proceeding was expected to j be made , the court was filled from an early hour . ; At four o'clock Mr .

Patrick M'Evoy GsrtJan , Attorney . Toe Attorney-Geceral—I apprehend that the parties -oogbt to appear here in person , and not by attorney . These proceedings are most important , and I cannot take upon myself to allow anything to take place -with regard to them that approaches , to anything like irregularity . There is no gentleman , except the parties immediately concerned , authorised by the records of the court to hand in any documents of this nature . They may be handed in debent esx now , and let the parties attend in person to-morrow morning , and let it be taken as if they appeared to-day . And now I apply to your Lordships that the demurrer may be argued tomorrow .
Mr . Forde ( solicitor to the parties)—My Lords , I am quite taken by surprise by tbe application of the Attorney-General , and 1 submit that the course he wishes ahould'be adopted is opposed to the rule of the court In the case -of the Queen c . ~ Baignell and others , in -which I myself was the M ? ent > -and which was argued en the 2 nd of Novembex , 1 S 42 , an order was made for the parties to join in demurrer within four days . On Hie IStli of 2 fovember -following it -was ordered that iiniB should be joined , and the * anse set down for argument in the nexx term ; in the meantime books ef the proceedings to " be famished to the judges at the joint expense of the parties . That was the order of the Court of Queen ' s Bench in this ease , and I appreliend your lordships "will not depart from that rule in the present case . The defendants have a right to compare the bocks of proceedings , as they are bound by them .

I -appear here on the present occasion qmte by accident Mr- Whitesdde—My Iiord , I am in the same position—la tenth ) . 3 ij . Sheil said be -wished to eall the recolleeVion of the court to the fact , that to-morrow ( Tntsosyi bad 'been fixed by their Lordships for proceeding with the case of Lord Ha warden r . Daffy , proprietor of the Nation newspaper ; and surely the Aitomey-Guieial had no right to displace that case , it having been fixed for hearing .
Tbe Attorney-General said he could not cf . course attempt t # -dictate to tbe court what should be done on tbe present occasion ; but with every respect for tb ' e court , he claimed it as a right that no case sbonld be heard until the argument en the demurrer "was heard to-morrow . He trusted that it would not be Bald that it was impossible to bring forward -a case of this importance at the earliest period . If there was an error in copying tfce paper books , it -would be discovered when the argument came on ; but he apprehended there Ttas none . And lie trusted that the coarKwcnld not be a party to delay
¦ ikese proceedings further . He denied that there was « ay oTder of the court -which required any joining in expenses for papers ex book * . Trie books which it was necessary should be laid before the Judges were ready , and would be delivered to their Lordships this evening . Sir . Justice Burton said , in reference to "what had . iallen from Jlr . Sbiel , that the coart did order lord Haw ? rden ' B case to stand for Tnesdsy , but they made no rule that it should be heard first , and , of course , it must be subject to postponement if there was a crown ¦ case brought forward .
ilr . Justice Crampton said unless the coart was tied op by some rale it would be their duty to hear the argument upon this demurrer at tbe earliest moment Mr . Moore . Q-C , said he was instructed ihat ihere "was a positive rule of the court where the demurrer was argued the term after the traversers joined in it The Attorney-General—So the rule applied to' gno tcarranio applications , but had no reference to the present case . Mr . Shea said to-morrow would be the last day of this term far sho-sring cause agaitst criminal informations- ; so be thought their Lordships ought to allow Lord Ha-wardeii ' s case to be heard the first thicg in tbe morning . The Attorney-General would not give np iis right to fcrte the demurrer orga&d before snj other matter was gone into . Mi . Sh ? el expressed hi- readiness to go on with his C 2 B 6 on "Wednesday Hioraiug .
The Attoaey-Gkaera " ' *» sd he entirely objected to any day in the ttna being flx = d that -would ii-. ttrfere with the case in -which he urn . Attorney-Gsneral ) was prosec&oBg .

Men begin to ask each othei- —men disposed to give ffVETy Support to the administration of Sir Robert Peel , and to the Execntiye at the head of which is Lord de Grey—is Government serious in its prosecntion of Mr . O'Connell ? Are tbe means sufficient for the ends ? Are the tools suited to the work ? Nay , some there be who go the length of donbting whether—supposing a conviction to be the result of a trial—a truckling and unworthy compromise may not follow . These are dangerous and damaging questions—these are serious and awful doubts ; and the state ol feeling which induces the one , or generates the other , ia ruinous to the Government , and may prove f * tai to tbe country . — DuUin Mail
IHE PSEPABATIONS . Her Majesty's stcam-rtiip Volcano has arrived in Kingstown harbour , having on board 600 cases of ball caitriv ' ge and two HghV field pieces , with suitable ammunition . They -will be deposited in the ordnance stores . The most formidable preparations which have yet met the eye are to be Been at Richmond Barracks , situate on the scuth side of tbe city , a little beyond Kilmainham , which are being put in a state of the most complete fortification , with portholes , loopholes , embrasures , breastworks , and all the other works deemed
requisite by the science of war for successfully resisting the attacks of an enemy . Prevention is no doubt better than care ; but really , after the experience of some few -weeks , and when it was made as clear as noonday that the mere ordinary powers of the law , if only asserted with dignity and firmness , were qaite sufficient to repress any overt act of sedition , whether made manifest at monster meetings , 01 "within tfee naked walls of the Conciliation Hall , these very imposing * ' preparations" seem at best but ca ' culated to excite alarm and distrust ameng the well-affected portion of her Msjeaty ' s Irish subjects . —77 m « .
In the north , too , according to tho Belfast Netcsbeiler , the authorities are " preparing" for the worst : — "The ordnance stores at Carrickfergns are at present nearly as full of implements of war es they were during the reign of Napoleon . A large quantity of provisions , consisting of beef , pork , and biscuits , have been 1 stored" of late . Does the Government apprehend a siege I " THE SIGNAL TIRES . The Drogheda Conse . v-jtive thus notices the spread of the sienal fires i : the north : —
" Our BaUjjamesduff correspondent informs us that the Protestants of that neighbourhood were alarmed by the appearance of signal fires on the surrounding hills , as far as the eye could discern . The Protestants of the town , detming these signals as only a prelude to a general attack , assemWtd and prepared tbeir fire arms , whilst these in the country barricaded their houses , prepared ammunition , determined to act as their forefathers did . Now , -we abk , what were the police or the authorities about , who did not immediately proceed to those fires and scatter the rebel symbols to the wind ? We would impress on the Protestants to be firm , be prepared , but not rash—the poor deluded creatures who thus act are only the tools of more cautious but designing rebels ; and are therefore more to be pitied than otherwise . " In Cork , according to the Constitution : —
" Fires -were again lighted in several parts of the county on Thursday night At Cirrigtwobill the prepa-, rations appear to have began m early as one o'clock , at which hour the Tempetance Band ' struck np , ' and continued playing shoot the neighbourhood for the remainder of the day . The first fire was lighted about half-pa * t four o ' clock behind the boose of the Repeal . Warden , and the signal was immediately answered ! from the surrounding hills . Over towards Agtada . and along through Cloyne down to Youghal , they arose in thick succession , and in the line of view between Middleton and Cork a gentleman residing within a few miles of the city counted at the same moment no / ewer than forty-five . They seem to bava consisted of Straw , for in ten minntes after he bad counted them the
bhza died away , and they were extinct The police visited six in his neighbourhood , but found only embers , and a few straws . Everything was quiet , tbe bouses closed , and tbe people apparently in bed . Wo h ~ ve heard that the fires on Saturday night were ordered in i the chapels a fortnight previously , but that the people , ¦ were enjoined to secrecy . We cannot say how this may i be , but it is regarded as singular that the Temper-ince Bands , -which in many places had been silent fnr four or five -weeks , -were very gtnerally out on that evening ( in Inno * lr » nnon , for instance , where , about seven o ' clock , they sallied forth playinz Garryowtn I ) and it is stattd ¦ that the first fire lighted in the parish of Billinadee was in the priest ' s lawn .

MUltDEROCS ATTACK . Mr . John Byrne , one of the coroners for the county of Lonth , held an iiiquest at Toorus , on the CarrickmacroBs-road , vrhich was adjourned to Tuesday , the 14 th inst , te be held in the town of Louth , upon the body of Nicholas Byrne . Mr . O'Reilly , magistrate , and Mr . Little , chief constable , were present at ihe investigation . After a respectable jury bad been sworn , several witnesses were examined , when it appeared in evidence that the house of the deceased was attacked by a body of men on the night of the first of November last , wfeen the family were in bed ( having previously broken the windows of several houses in the neighbourhood ) . The deceased and bis son got up to defend their house , when
he was knocked down by a blow of a stick , which fractured his skull , of which he lingered until the 11 th inst , when he died . After receiving the blow of the stick , another person made a stab with a knife at him , which , however , be escaped , the knife ha- ? ing only struck the -doorJ Dr . Gartlant and another medical gentleman , who had previously attended the deceased , deposed that the fracture wns tbe cause of death . The Jury , after deliberation , returned a verd-ct of Wilful Murder against Thomas Hincby and two other persons , whose names it would not be prudent to mention at present Hinehy was committed by the coroner . We are informed that two of the persons engaged in the said murder were arrested , and bailed , and of course have absconded !—Drogheda Conservative .
" THE LIBEBATOB ' S WELFARE . " It was announced some months since , says the Times , that it was the intention of the heads of the Roman Church to have the name of Mt O'Connell inserted in the Bock of Common Prayer , immediately after that of Hei Majesty . Whether the design has been actually carried into effect or not there are no means of ascertainine ; but the following paragraph , extracted from the Freeman ' s Journal , wonld imply that snch "was really the case , acd the more so as a similar announcement was made in a late number of a Queen's County paper : —
" On last Sunday the holy and adorable sacrifice of the mass was offered up in the parish church of Ballintra , county of Donegal , by the Rev Maurice Tnnney , R-jimn Catholic clergyman , for the spiritual and temporal benefit of the Liberator . The Rev . Gentleman was joined by the entire congregation , who seemed , on that occasion , to redouble their fervour and devotion . "
Respite . The Limerick Reporter says : — "We hava to announce , and we do so with feelings of the utmost satisfaction , that the nnfortunate men now lying in our county gaol , under Bt-ntence of death , have been further respited to the ISth of April . Indeed we may say , although not on authority , that tbe sentence will never be carried into effect ; and that probably , in the end , their fate may be far different from what every one expected . "
IJIPOBTATIOS OP AEiS . Mr . Carte , on the part of the Customs , applied to the magistrates for a summons , under the new Arms' Act , against tbe master of the ship William Frtzsr , fromLondon , bow under seizure for having concealed in that vessel some guns , swords , and pistols , and importing the same witkont the necessary license . The application was granted Limerick Reporter . Dublin , Nov . 21 . This day the long " argument" was heard Between the lawyers , as to the sufficiency or insufficiency of the
" Plea in abatement . " It occupied all ihe day ; &Sd was uncommonly dry . The Court tcolr time to con * sider ; and ttbb to pronounce judgment on : Wednesday morning . It ires surmised that the decision would be against the traversers ; and if so , it was expected that they would plead in bar ; that is . Bay they were " Not Guilty , " and thus put the question to the " issne ' " It was also € xpectcd that the Attorney-General would seek to have an early day fixed for the trial ; probably in the sitnugs afterterm ; thoiigh no doubt this point will be S ^ * ? « * Wb . on the ground of insafflaent time to prepare the defence .

profoundest respect , and the most dutiful acquiescence , the resolutions adopted at the meeting of oar venerated Archbishops aud BishopB—the Bacred nnd venerated hierarchy of the Catholic church in Ireland ; these Most Rev . and Very Rav . Prelates pessess our entire veneration , respect , and Christian submission to their apostolic authority . 11 Resolved—That the Catholic laity of Ireland hold in the utmost abhorrence any attempt to itfluenca our venerated clergy by tendering to them tbe fllthv mam . mon of Ibis -world—that laity will universally support and uphold them on their rejection of any species of state provision—firmly convinced as they are that the contronl of the church by the state is calculated only to degrade and contaminate the sacred office of religion , to diminish the utility of tfee clergy , and to introduce hirelings info the place of the sainted pastors of faithful flocks .
" Resolved—That the Catholic laity of Ireland , who never deserted their venerated clergy , even in the midst of pains , penalties , confiscations , and death , gratefully acknowledge that their clergy ( although against them persecution most vehemently raged ) never deserted their faithful follower *; and they are convinced that all the bribes of England could not purchase off one single Catholic clergyman ftom the people throughout this entire isle . " 1 With respect to the Catholic clergy of Ireland ( continued Mr . OConnell ) , this was emphatically the time to
speak out—they had chosen the period , and bad spoken out manfully . They had declared their intention of refusing any Government allowance : that which people refused least was a monied provision , but they would not have any of it ( Cheers . ) What had religion to do with the : mammon of the world ? What connexion in Holy Writ , and the traditions of the Fathers , between mammon and religion ?

Mrs . Waller , though suffering much from the mental anguish of witnessing the sufferings of her husband and sister , is gradu « Uy convalescing . The condition of Miss Veriker . thou « h not -without hope , is still very precarious and critical ; and , though favourable symptoms havo shown themselves , cannot be yet said to have regained her consciousness or sensibility . The hone 3 t , loyal , olii butler is
still suffrring severely from the contusions and bvuises he received in defence of his master tind family ; but from the nature of his hurta , he is likely to be booh able to hand .

" Her Msjestys war steamers tho Dee and Comet arrived here in port on Tuesday night last , and have been detained making arrangements for taking on board tbe following formidable forcti , for the protection of the collectors , of poor-rates along our western coast and pait of Connemara : —Captain Duff , RM ; a company of the 61 st R-rgimtnt , and fortj of tbe indefatigable , or police force , under the command of Sub-Inspectors Coffej , trom Daomore , and Cloon , from the Outerard station , which , with thirty marines already on board , art ! to administer and dispense the blessings of the Poor La we , being one of the recent enactments of the Legislature for the amelioration ol Ireland .

consequence of an intimation on the part of Mr . Pearson , mill owner , that ! he would reduce the wages of the woolcombera in his employ , unless the hands employed by Mr .

informed them that unless Mr . Addison would advance the wages of his combers , he , Mr . Pearson , would be obliged j to rednee to the same amount as Mr . Addison , aa ; there was a competition ia the market , and Yarn was sold atjtwopence per gross leas than he could sell for . " Oa this a deputation of six men were a ppointed by the meeting to examine the * ' sorts" of both masters ; the result was that Mr . Pearson ' s proved the " best .

A public meeting was held in the evening in the Committee Room , which was numerously attended . Mr Peter Hoey occupied the chair , and Messrs . Barnett , Grimshaw , and Shaw , addressed the meeting , iand communicated the ' result of their interview with Mr . Cornelly , which was received by the meeting with

The weavers of this town are more than ever detetermined to resist every attempt that is made by masters to reduce their wages , and who are continually striving to enrich themselves at the expense of the poor working man .

Leeds Corn Market , Tukshay , Nov . 21 . —The arrival of Wheat to this day's market ha 3 beensmaller , Barley and Boans larger . The demand for Wheat not qvn ' te as brisk as last week , very little alteration in prices . Barlsy has been heavy sale ; the finest qualities rather lower , other descriptions Is . per quarter lower . Oats and Beans no alteration . Bradford Markets , Thursday , November 23 . — Wool .-r-There is hardiy so much animation in this trade as a few weeks past , aud buyers are timid to operate at the present high prices . Yarn . —Yarns remain without any alteration in demand or prices . Piece . —The demand for goods has not been very extensive ; indeed , the weather has been such ag to drter the merchants from attending , and may in son > e measure account for the slackening . Prices are firm .
State of Trade—Owing to the period of the year , and perhaps , in some degree also , to the unfavourable state of the weather , the market yesterday was dull , especially for yarn , which ia at present in very limited demand , aud gencridly declining ia price . This is particularly the case in those qualities usually t ; i ken by ihe German buyer 3 , who have been for some time past very inactive ; but tha higher numbers of mule yarn have been ia some rcqnest for the Indian market ? , and have fully maintained their price . In goods there was little change
to notice—the demand being generally limited , except for low shirtings and printing doth ( which last is somewhat influenced by the prospect of a generalturn- out of weavers at Ashton-under-Lyne ) . We are glad to learn that there is , at present , a very extensive demand for grey mousselines de l aiuo , which have now almost supplanted the handloom calicoes formerly manufactured in the neighbourhood of Colne , and are become , when printed , a very important article of export to Germany and the United States , as well of domestic consumption . —From the Manchester Guardian of Wednesday .
WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET . Friday , Nov . 24 . —The Wheat trade has been slow to-day , but the holders are firm ia demanding last week ' s prices . Barley is very dull , and rafter lower rates were submitted to upon the few sates made . Oats are very scarce ; the supply of Shelling is also small , and both articles fully support . their value . In Beans no material atetation .
