      COXTRT OJ QTTXEH ' S BSKCH , This court presented a Tery animated appearance . Tbe lawyers'benches were completely occupied , and the inner bar was crowded "with the young barristers about to be called . A strong force of jrclioe was stationed in the hall , and at the doors of the courts , to preserve order- " " . Da-nd Charles Latoncbe , Esq ., high-sheriff of the city of DaWin , and Charles Cofebs , jon ., high-sheriff of the county ,-were in attendance . The City Grand Jury was then called over . The names of Messes . Grog&nanS Gregory , ihe sitting members having been called and sot answering , the list was then commenced again and called upon a fine of £ 20 . At one o'dsck , Mr . JuHtice Burton entered the oeurt , and Jndge rerrin left The Attorney-General , Mr . Burster , Q . G . ; and "Mr . Wcite-dde , Q . G ., attired in their long dress -wigs , entered the court .

      The county panel waa then called , and upwards of sixty gentlemen answered to their names . Geerge Frederick Brooke . B ^ q ., being called upon to act as foreman ; of the City Jury , said he had an objection to serve in that capacity . Beneb ^—Wbat is your objection ? Mr . Brooke—Prom my official duties in the Bank of Ireland , I would Tery much prefer sot being called upon to act as foreman . I have no objection to serve ss a grand Juror . 3 Ir . Ford observed the first of the county members couldbe called . The Attorney-General said there should be no interference with the jury . It was then arranged to go to the next name , and yr . XatoQchs was called for that purpose . 2 &t . Tr ^ t ""^ " * sot answering . ¦ - ¦ -.

      The Attorney-General rose , and said that he conceived the ordinary course should do pursued in this instance , said that Hx . Erooie should serve as

      foren . Mr . Brooke was then called npon , -and took Che oath as foreman . The following then tanned the jury-Gsorge F . Breeke , Esq ., Robert W . Xaw , Esq . foreman . Patrick Waldron , Esq .

      Mr . T . B . C . Smita , Attorney-General ; Mr . Serjeant Greene , Solidtor-General ; and Mr . Brewster , Queen ' s Counsel , of Counsel iai the Crown against Messrs . O'GonneH and the otber perrons prosecuted , hvring taken their places , Judge Burton proceeded to deliver the Charge , wtich was listened to throughout with the most profound attention and the deepest anxiety by the whole of the crowded court The I / earned Judge was particularly earnest and emphatic in Ms address . At tbe conclusion of the Learned Judged charge , which occupied about half an hour in its delivery , -

      The Attorney-General rose , and intimated that the informations on which the indictments were founded would be ready to be laid before the Grand Jury at sny hour to-morrow which might suit their convenience , from half-past ten o ' clock , and that the witnesses would also be in attendance at any hour determined on , lor the purpose of being cross-examined by the Jury . Mr . Hstehell , Queen ' s Counsel ( far the defence ) , addressed the Bench , and said he thought it right to state that the parties accused , were in attendance with their witnesses and recognizances , it being the first day of term , as tbsir bill-bonds required , in case that any order should be ma d * on thB subject . The Attorney-General said they were bound to be present not on the first dsy only , but from day to day £ 11 called upon .

      Tdr . Hatcbell acquiesced , and the Crown officers having received an intimation from the Jury- that eleven o'clock would be a convenient hour , they appointed { hat time for laying the bills before the ™ The parties then retired , and Judge Burton left the bench , but returned along with the Lord Chief Justice and Justice Crampton and Perriu in a few moments .

      UJF 0 MU . TIO 5 S AGAT 5 ST THE 6 eTBB 5 * B > T 2 . KP 0 KIEE . The Judge * having bowed to the bar and taken their seats-upon the bench , Lord Chief Justice Pennefathar asked the Solicitor-General if he had any motion to make , and saving received a reply in the negative , made the same inquiry of Mr . M'Donongh , Queen ' s Counsel , who rose and said that , on behalf of Mr . R . Barrett , he then applied to their Lordships in order that an officer of that Court ( Mt Bonnie ) Trrirbt be compelled to receive certain affidavits in the matter of " Barrett -v . Hughes , " for perjury . These affidavits were tendered fox the purpose of procuring -on them , from their Lordshi p * , a fxasi mandamus to the magistratea of the police courts , to ompel them to receive information , which , on certain

      peculiar grounds , they had deemed it right to refuse . These affidavits were thirteen in number . When . tendered to the proper officer of that Conrt , that they might be duly sworn to , that person had refused te receive thtm , alleging they were of the nature of informations . How be ( Mr . M'Donough ) contended that it was quite beyond the Crown clerk ' s duty to decide upon" their nature at all , and that be had no right whatever to deny justice to any of the Queen ' s subjects by refusing to accept them ? ana thus their Lordships would see that there was a plain legal question raised ,, on which ded * aion would be easy . In anararer to an Irqairy from the lord Chief Justice , Mi M'Donongh staled that there hid been no notice fiven to the Crown of their present step , and that he bad no affidavits to move the Court on . Bis complaint was that the proper officer would not allow any to be sworn .

      The Sondtor-General rose ani said , —This motion eomes quite by surprise on me . No notice whatever of this Etep has been given to the Crown officers . Judge Perrin asked why the bills were not brought up before the last commission ? Hz . M'Donough replied , that a reference to dates would show the impracticability of that course ; and that , bes i des , it would have been impossible to send Stem op without the original ofthe informations , which could not be possibly ceme at , as It had not even yet been seat op to the grand jury , Mr . Bourne , the Crown clerk , explained to the bench , that he thought he was bound to refuse to receive-the affidavits , as he conceived they were in the nature of informations .

      The Court was of opinion that if Mr . M'Donough merely made the application to compel the officer to receive the affidavits -without reference to nlterior measures , and that the parties entering the afidaTita mad 6 them at theii propsi peril , there could be no objection to ordering the officer to receive them ; which tfcsy ruled accordingly . Mr , Cantwell ( attorney for Mr . Barrett ) , who had been ordered to sit down and be sSent several times by the bench , said thit Mr . Bourne was under a sisapprebension as to the nature of the affidavits , and th&t ha ( Mi . Cantwell ) had made then at his own perIL Mr . Bourne , addressing Mr , Cantwell , then said , "As the Court has ruled bo , let Mr . CantweH swear his affidavits now . " Mr . Cantwell—( angrily ) —I will do my dnty as I Brink fit , without any dictation from Mr . Bourne . The Court thought it would bo as well if Mr . Cant-Well swore the affidavits tten .

Cantwell , who teemed In high dndgeonwith the m * 3 ^ * hf > 1 "wished to place him under snehsur-Tefflaa ^' is would , of course , obey their Lordships , tat weuld , at « ie Eame time , assert his right to disdiaige bis duty as lie thought best .

The case of " The Queen , on the prosecution of Richard Barrett Frederick Bond Hughes , " eame again before the Court of Queen ' s Bench this morning , when several persons , amongst whom were Mr . John CConnell , M . P ., the Rev . Mr . Tyrrell , Mi . Steele , Mr . Ray , Mn Barrett , Dr . Grey , 4 a , swore affidavits in open Court , as a preliminary step before applying for a mandamns to compel the " ^» ht ^ of College-street Policeoffice to receive Informations sustaining a charge of perjury against the defendant .

      DuMin , November L From an early hour this morning a considerable crowd had collected round the avenues leading to the Courts , and remained there with most . exemplary patience throughout the day in the vain hope of learning the fate of the bills under the conrider&Mon of the Grand Jury . A very strong party of police are on doty , not only In the Courts , but in the streets immediately adjoining ; so that the utmost order and regularity prevail . The Grand Jnry assembled at eleven o ' clock , and remained in consultation till about half-past twelve , at which period aJl eyes in Court were directed towards the Grand Jury Room , the door of which was opened .

      The foreman ( Mr . Brooke ) advanced to the front of the box amid breathless silence , and after a brief pause , public expectation was doomed to disappointment by bia saying th&t 11 There appeared to be a clerical error in the fourth count of the indictment , In which tile names of two parties , Thomas Tierney and Peter James Tyrrell , should be mentioned . These nasmes appeared in that count as Thomas Tierney and Peter James Tlemey , the word 1 Tierney 1 being substituted for Tyrrell . * Some of the jury thought it was * clerical error , and wished to have Tyrrell * inserted in the proper place , icstead of Tierney ; ' and be wished to know if he should hand the bills down to be altered ?"

      The Chief Justice—You bad better , if yon please Has Mr . Tyrrell any counsel in conrt ? Mr . M'Donougb . —1 am counsel for Mr . Tyrrel , my Lord . The Chief Justice—Do you make any objection ? Mr . M'Donongh—I object on the part of Mr . Tyrrell to that bill being sow meddled with . It is given in charge to ihe Grand Jury , and it is for them to ignore it or find it , as they think light , and I object to my client's name , Tyrrell , being put into that indictment

      Trie Foreman observed ttiat the mistake bad only oc enrr * d In one count . The Chief Jostles—All the other counts are right 1 The Attorney-General—I apprehend there can be so doubt about it , sad I will not trouble the Court Mr . Brewster ( to the Attorney-General)—The Court has a right to it The Attorney-General—Yes , the Court has a right . Mr . Hatchell , Queen ' s Counsel—They can withdraw the indictment if they please , my Lords , bnt they cannot amend it in court

      The Chief Justice—This being a misdemeanour , if Mr . Tyrrell or his counsel consented to the alteration it could be made , but if be does not—The Attorney-General—I apprehend there is nothing to be done , my Lord , bat for the officer to amend the clerical mistake in the indictment , and hand it back to the Grand Jury , the bills not having been found by the Grand Jury yet Mr . M'Donough—may I beg to ask the Learned Attorney-General what has the officer of the court to amend by ? What authority or knowledge , official or judicial , has Mr . Bourns of what name should be in the indictment ? Toe Cbief Jnstioe— The informations . Mr . M'Donough—I submit that the Learned Attorney-General must produce some authority to justify that

      course . The Chief Jnstice—It is an indictment founded on information . This is a clerical error , and they have the infermations to correct it Mr . M-Donough—I dont think that this can be considered as the work of the Crown ; it u the Queen's Attorney-General in person that prosecutes here . He had the preparation of the indictment , and , doubtless , prepared it with great propriety and skill , and sent it to the Grand Jury . It is given to the Grand Jury to dispose of it ; and I know of no law that enables the Clerk of the Crown to amend it The Attorney-General—I am under the apprehension that Mr . M'Donongh is acting as amiats curim here ; if not , be will be good enough to band in his licence to appear for Mr . Tyrrell . ( This demand of the Attorney-General created a eonaderable sensation in court . )

      Mr . M'DONoreH—I was under the impression that the licenses had been obtained in all cases before 1 took

      retainers . Mr . Cantwell ( agent for Mr . Tyrrell )—I have obtained the licence . The Attorney-General—Then produce it Mr . Cantwell—I have the license , but it is not in court , but I pledge myself that 1 have it , and I am much surprised that the Attorney-General should make that statement Mr . M'Donough—I did not accept the retainers until I was told the licenses were taken out Mr . Close said he was also counsel for Mr . Tyrrell , and was proceeding to address the Court , bnt Mr . Cantwell said , —My client , my Lord , calls upon Mr . M'Donougb in this Court ; and claims to have his assistance in this Court , having obtained the Queen's letters of license . I now call upon Mr . M'Donough to act for him . It is monstrous to nuke such an objection .

      Mr . M'Donougb said , there was no doubt about the license having been obtained . He had a knowledge of the licenses in the several other cases , but not in this particular case ; but be was sure tbe gentlemen would be satisfied with the word of tte attorney . Mr . Brewster said , that as Mr . Cantwell stated tbe license was obtained , they were satisfied . Mr . M'Donongh then called upon the Attorney . General to produce an authority authorising the course of proceeding be proposed to take . The Attorney-General contended , that counsel fora party could not be -heard before the indictment was found , and submitted that Mr . M'Donough or any other counsel had no right to be beard on tbe part of Mr . Tyrell at this stage of the proceedings . Mr . M'Donougb said , tbe Attorney-General had stated that be ought not to be beard , but tbe Court would recollect that it had called upon him

      The Chief Justice—I dare say the irregularity is attributable to me . Mr . Brewster—Bnt if Mr . M * Don » u $ h goes on further , tbe irregularity 'will be his from this moment . The Chief Jnstice said , the Court were of opinion , that in this state of the proceedings this eould sot be properly called a bill of indictment ; it was no such tfring until tbe judgment of tbe grand jnry was passed on it , and until then it was merely a proceeding sent op to tbe grand jury , on the part of the Crown , by tbe Attorney-General , throngh tbe bands of the Clerk of the Crown . At present there was no third person who bad a right to be beard in it at all , and if the Attorney-General was desirous to have that mistake rectified , ttie Court would give him full permission to do it , oi they might do so without asking the Court at alL

      The Clerk of the Crown then erased the word " Tierney" in tbe fourth count , where It was inserted inrsteafl of " Tyrrell , " and the word ' Tyrrell" was substituted for it The Attorney-General then applied to have the word " affirmation" introduced into the opening of the counts . Since the Jury was sworn they found that one of them belonged to the Society of Friends , and that rendered the alteration necessary . Tbe indictment commenced— "And the Jurors of our Lady the Queen , on their oaths , present / ' &c whereas it should be— "And Ihe Jurors of our Xady the Qaeen , on their oatbs and affirmation , present , " tc He wished to have it made , last any objection should be made to the indictment hereafter . He referred to a . case recently decided in England in support of the application . ' Tbe Cbief Justice—I object to the Court being called npon to make an order on the subject Let the Crown take any course they think right

      The Attorney-General—We want no order , but as we cannot go into the jury-room we want an authority to have the bill brought down to be amended . The Chief Justice . —We will give leave to the Grand Jury to hand back the bill to tbe Clerk of tbe Crown . At this hour tbe Jury have only got through the reading of the fourth count in tbe indictment All the witnesses are in attendance , but there is no probability of their being examined this day . From the obstructive means already adopted for the purpose of procrastinating tbe proceedings , it is very likely that all tbe witnesses ( twenty-six in number ) will not only be examined , but cross-examined ; and if such should turn out to be the fact , be would be a close calculator who could name the precise day when a decision Khu'H be come to by the Jnry . ¦ -

      Meanwhile the Crown does not stand wholly acquitted from its fair share of blame in the transaction . The bare fact of substituting one name for another in their bin of indictment suggests the idea of there being some "very reprehensible catelw * " ? ** in more quarters than one . Fotjb o'Clocx . —The witnesses in attendance received an intimation , about half-past two o'clock , that their presence would not be required , with the exception of twa of them , who were summoned for

      crocs-examinat ion forthwith . There were various reports as to the gentlemen selected , bnt the moat general was , that Mr . Hughes and Hz . Kenunis were tbe individuals . Itis confidently stated that a number of witnesses on behalf of Government arrived in town this morning , to oear evidence as to the general allegations of eoaspiracy aadtte use of seditions language .

      Untitled Article

      indictment , described yesterday , form : the town-talk . The circumstance most remarked upon is , that a Grand Jnry fibonld for the first time , perhaps , in the annals of criminal juriBpradenoe , come in to assist a prosecution . The Jury , possibly , were fully waranied in the course they took , bnt the circumstance is worth notice for its greatlevity . ; When the Gr and Jury adjourned , shortly before five o ' clock yesterday afternoon , they had examined bnt one witness , namely , Mr . Vernon , the registrar of the Stamp-office , whose depositions were merely technical , respecting the registry of the proprietors of the Pilot , Freeman's Journal , and tbe Nation .

      The general opinion seems to be , that no decision wil l be come to by the Jury before Wednesday evening , in which case , should the bills be found , it is supposed that on Friday tbe counsel for the defence will apply for additional time to plead—say eight days , instead of four , the period specified by the Act ; grounding the application on the fact of the indictments sent before tbe Grand Jory containing a vast mass of evidence not included in the original informations apon which the accused parties were h « ld to ball . Of course the Crown will not oppose the motion , bo that between the extra time allowed for pleading , and the seven days' notice of trial , the term will have well nigh expired , Saturday , the 25 th , being the last day . Under snob circumstances , the chances would seem to be that the trials will be postponed till the ensuing term .

      There is , however , the possibility of another event , which would materially affect these speculations . It might be that the Grand Jury , or the majority of them , would , after the examination of a few of tbe leading witnesses ( and this Is the general practice ) , consider that sufficient evidence bad transpired to warrant them in coming to a conclusion as to the finding er ignoring the bills . In this case " obstruction" ceuld be of no avail , provided the majority are of opinion that it hu been already exercised to a legitimate extent , to say the least of it A decision of this nature would materially abridge the proceedings . Dublin , Nov . « .

      The dty Grand Jury resumed tbe examination of witnesses this morning , and are at this boar ( four o'clock ) still occupied . There have been some discussions amongst tile members of the Jury as to the mode of examination adopted , several of them objecting to tbe minuteness of the inquiries respecting tbe newspaper extracts quoted in the indictments , and the comparisons instituted between those extracts and tbe Stamp Office copies of the newspapers from which they purport to have been taken . It is not at all pro * bable that the Grand Jury will announce their finding before to-morrow , or the day after—possibly not so soon .

      Several of the officers and constables summoned op from tbe country have been examined at tbe Crown Solicitor ' s office . J have beard that nose of them have as yet made sny depositions ; bnt they have been directed to remain in town for tbe present Several of the country constables now here made no attempt at taking reports of speeches at the meetings , and , on being questioned by the Crown Solicitor , they said they bad nothing to toll , unless that there were a great multitude at the meetings . Five O'CLOCK . —At five o ' clock the Grand Jury , adjourned until to-morrow . They merely completed tbe evidence of Mr . Ternon , Registrar of tbe Stampoffice , who had a small cart load of files of newspapers for tbe inspection of the jury .

      There is & complete uncertainty as to tbe time the Jury will announce their finding . New difficulties are experienced at every turn . It has become a sort of proverb in the courts that " a long indictment is dangerous . "

      KB .. FB . EDBB . ICK BOND BXJtHES . Mr . M'Donagh applied , at about half-past thre 4 o ' clock this day , for a mandamus from the conrt , to compel the magistrates tl College-street Police-office to receive tbe informations tendered to them on tbe 20 th of October lost , with a view to found an indictment for perjury against Mr . Frederick Bond Hughes Counsel supported his application by setting forth the facts as they occurred at the police-office , with which our readers are already familiar . He stated that a prima fade case of perjury having been made before tbe magistrates , they were , of right and law , coerced to receive them , and that their discretion could alone be exercised upon the merits , upon which the magistrates declined to pronounce an opinion . Mr . M-Donagh cited a number of authorities in support of his proposition . Judge Perrin inquired why bills of indictment were not sent before the Jury at the cemmiitaien 7

      Mr . M'Donougb said , because they could not get the original informations to send before the Jury without an order from the court , and that they could not apply to the court without having tbe informations sworn in the first instance . He continued to press a number of authorities on the consideration of the bench . The Chief Justice—Why not send your bill of Indictment before the present Grand Jury ? . Mr . M'Donongh—We are quite ready , my Lord , to accept the offer of the court ; all we want is justice . The Attorney-General here rose , and after britfly applying himself to the law argument of Mr . M'Donougb , said—My Lords , I do not want to prevent the bill of indictment going before the Grand Jury , but I do want to prevent the public mind from being prejudiced by improper commentary and discussion , which I in my conscience believe is the object which the parties who

      are now making this application desire to accomplish ; I wish to prevent tbe administration of justice from being improperly tampered with . My Lords , this has been attempted , and most unwarrantably attempted , by a portion of the public press , and every exertion has been made to create a prejudice in the public mind , and this discussion is a part and parcel of the proceedings instituted so as to prevent the jury before whom parties will have to answer if the bills are found , from coming calmly and deliberately le the performance of their duty . My Lords , without predicating anything—without imputing guilt to any parties at present—it will be my duty , if the bills now Before tbe jury are found , to expose to the country , when I come to open tbe case , as wicked and as dangerous a conspiracy as ever was formed against the peace and tranquillity of tbe empire . * * [ This observation excited a profound sensation ]

      My Lords , the learned counsel , Mr . M'Donougb , has said that there might be a failure of justice if Mr . Hughes was not made now amenable to justice , by reason of his habitual residence in a foreign country . Mr . M'Donough—I beg pardon—I said in another conntry . The Attorney-General—I do not impute to my Learned Friend that he conceives England to be a foreign country ; but , doubtless , from reading bis instructions , and rpqk * "g himself acquainted with the case of his

      clients , bis mind has been imbued with their sentiments , and be was led hastily to use the language of others , and denominate Bogland as a foreign country . I beg , my Lords , in conclusion , emphatically to oppose tbe menstrons proposition which Mr . M'Donough wished to establish—a proposition which would enable the parties charged in the indictment to become witnesses in their own case , and convert a prisoner on his trial into a prosecutor . Let the present bills be disposed of , and then let any indictment they please go befere tbe Grand Jury . :

      The Court conferred together , and the Chief Justice directed that after the bills now before the Jury should be either found or ignored , Mr . Barrett should be at liberty to prefer hU indictment against Mr . Bond Hughes .

      COUNSEL FOB THE TRAVERSERS . The bad temper displayed by the Attorney-General on Saturday in demanding the licence of Mr . M'Donoughi one of the counsel for the traversers , is the theme of every tongue , and Conservatives , as well as Liberals , are free in their condemnation of the petty spirit displayed in so technical and , as it proved , so totally unwarrantable an objection . Altagether , the conduct of the Crown , in regard to the counsel for the defence , is totally indefensible . After Mr . Henn had been retained for Mr . John O'Connell , and his licence obtained at tbe Castle by Mr . Mahony , solicitor for that gentleman , the Attorney-general claimed tbe services of Mr . Henn , as a Queen ' s counsel . A correspondence is now in progress on the subject , between the Attorney-General and Mr . Henn , who , I have beard , Is still determined to act for the traversers , unless the Cr own should actually cancel his lioenoe .

      Mr . H . Martley , Queen ' s counsel , a near relative of Mr . BIflckburne , Master of the Rolls , has been retained for the traveraen .

      TRIAL AT BAB . It is stated to-day that the Attorney-Ganeral intends to apply far . a trial at bar in the state prosecutions . HiB object is , if possible , to secure a trial in the sittings after tile present term ; and it is said that the Court of Queen ' s Bench possesses the power , under an old act , to direct a trial at bar , beforo the fall Court , within a certain number of days after the finding of a bill by a grand jury , snd the completion of the pleadings in the case . . ¦ - i GOVERNMENT INFORMERS . The Evening Post has an article in its last publication beaded— " Who ib the Traitor ? " which has reference to some rumour * that are afloat of treachery on tbe part of certain persons who have ingratiated themselves into tbe Becrets—if there are any—of tbe Repeal Association , and then sold their information-to the Government :

      The Cork Southern . Reporter Intimates as much as that such treason is suspected in its locality ; and the Post says , " We have heard as much . " This is a very delicate subject , and one with which we have no desire to meddle till we have undoubted evidence- of such villanous conduct before us . We shall only say that if there is one crime more detestable , mere infamous , more worthy of universal scorn and execration than another , it is the crime of the ruffian who first , under the semblance of co-operation , worms himself into the confidence of another , and then , for lucre ' s sak « , betrays that confidence . We repeat we have no evidence to justify us in believing—first , that the Repeal Association hid any secrete to betray—or , secondly , that any of its members have acted traitorously .

      We notice the matter only as we find it in our contemporaries , and , If anything , we are inclined to discredit tbe rumour altogether . —Dublin Monitor , Monday . Dublin , Nov . 7 .

It may interest many persons to know , under present circumstancee , that for some time past , a mass , recommending Daniel O'Connell to the protection of heaven , is read every day in the Vatican , by txprtst orders of the Popei— Globe .

      REPEAL ASSOCIATION—MONDAY . The UBual weekly meeting of this body was beld today at the Conciliation Hall , Corn Exchange Rooms . The attendance was very numerous . At one o ' clock , Patrick Lawler , Esq ., Trinakill , Queen ' s County , was called to the chair . The Chairman said this was an awful crisis . T hese were certainly portentous times —( hear , hear ) . Theefforts of the Government at present were used to prevent tbe free expression of opinion of eight millions of people ; but they might as well try to turn back the ocean , as to prevent the will of eight millions of people being legitimately exercised for obtaining any object they sought—{ hear , hear , and cheers ) .

      Mr . Clements moved the suspension of the standing order , to enable him to propose a resolution , which be knew would be carried by acclamation . It was upon a subject which was peculiar in itself—a subject which must be broached before Mr . O'Connell arrived in that rowm—he meant the coming collection of the O'Connell Compensation Fund —( deafening applause ) . After proceeding at considerable length to comment on the subject of bis motion , the Learned Gentleman concluded by moving the following resolution : — " That the Loyal National Repeal Association holds

      it as a paramount duty , at this moment , to apply all its means and influence to tbe successful furtherance of the national collection for the O'Connell Compensation Fund , fixed for Sunday , the 19 th instant On that occasion the members and associates of this national body ate especially expected to co-operate , personally : and energetically , with the respected and patriotic clergy of their several parishes , in securing results for this imperative measure worthy of the crisis and the cause . "

      Dr . Gray seconded tbe motion , which was spoken to by Mr . John Reynolds , and carried by acclamation-Mr . Doheny , from Tipperary , next addressed tbe association . He said that the county he came from would contribute at least £ 3 , 000 to the O'Connell tribute . ( Cheers . ) There was no shrinking in the heart of Tipperary . The proclamation had had no effect upon the people there . A Toiee—No , nor here . ( Loud cheering . ) Mr . Steele , in speaking of the merits of O'Connell , alluded to the meeting that was announced for

      Clontarf , and said that bad not that august individual been in Dublin , and warned the people to keep away from that meeting , there would have been a scene of carnage , frightful to contemplate . ( Hear , bear . ) Disdaining , aaid Mr . Steele , the proceedings that are taken against me by the Government , I declare that in my opinion , no act perpetrated under the diabolical Government of Castlereagh , Pitt , and Lord Clare , in ' 08 , to drive Ireland into a convulsion , was of such ghastly atrocity , as alluring the people to destruction by the shortness of the notice of the proclamation—an intention so fiendish , that it would do dishonour to a demon . ( Sensation . )

      Mr . Clements said he must disclaim , « pon his own part , and he was rare the association would join with him , that the Government had any intention whatever of alluring the people on that occasion to their destruction . —( Hear . ) All he attributed to the Government was neglect ( Hear . ) ; Mr . Steele said he would contend that that neglect was criminal . At this stage of the proceedings , Mr . O'Connell entered the Hall , and was most enthusiastically received . The Honourable Gentleman then handed in £ 108 from the law clerks , and moved a vote of thanks te them—( cheers ) . Mr . Ray read an address from that body to Mr . O'ConnelL

      After several remittances had been announced , Mr . O'Connell rose to bring two matters before the Association ; one was of general importance , the other related to him personally—the first was that the words of Edmund Burko , which the Banner of Ulster selected for its motto , be adopted by the Association , namely , "That religion is the basis of civil society , and the source of ail good and comfort" The other matter was a , paragraph which had appeared in the Tablet newspaper , ; copied from tbe Cork Examiner , stating "that tbe Rigbt Honourable Anthony Blake , late chief re * membrancer , was tbe person wbo suggested bis ( Mr . OConnell's—arrest . " "This , " said Mr . O'Connell , "is a lie—such a thing is absurd "—( loud cheers ) . An Operative Tanner of Dublin banded in £ 8 17 s .

      Mr . O'Connell moved the thanks of the Association to Mr . Biggs , the Mayor of Leicester , who presided latelyi at a meeting in that town , at which resolutions were adopted sympathising with the Irish during the present : prosecutions . Motion received and carried unanimously . Mr . Duffy , of the Action , banded in £ 101 Repeal rent , £ 45 8 s of which was from Belfast , £ 14 from Strabane , and the rest from other places in the north of Ireland . Mr . J . O Connell banded in £ 31 16 s from Carlow . Mr . O'Connell handed In £ 28 for New York . Mr . D . O'Connell , Junior , read a draft of nn address to the Queen , to be presented by each parish in Irelhnd . : Mr . O'CoDnell moved its adoption . Motion carried .

      Mr . O'Connell then rose , and said the next thing they bad to do was to adopt an address , which , with the permission of the Committee , be had prepared—( hear , hear ) . It was , in fact , an address to the Protestants of Ireland , though it purported to be an address to tbe entire of Ireland , for they were all equally interested In it—( hear , hear ) . That address touched upon the two objections that were made to Repeal—objections put forward by England more than once—repeated by his friend Joseph Sturge , and objections which bad become the Constant theme of opposition to Repeal . It was said that Repeal would produca two things—first , a dismemberment of the empire ; the other was Catholic ascendancy : and that address denied that any sueh results could follow , and they based their denial oa the

      fact that there was no dismemberment when the Irish Parliament was in full force , and that Catbolio ascendancy would be utterly impossible —( bear , bear , bear ) . The Hon . and Learned Gentleman read an address to the people of Ireland , the adoption of which he moved . It might be said that it reiterated matter that bad been spoken of before ; it certainly did , but ifc was bis plan to reiterate his topics until they were fully impressed upon the public raiqd—( hear , bear ) . He , would move that the committee be directed to warn the people of Ireland against committing any crime—they had come to the great crisis of their great experiment—an experiment to demonstrate that , by peaceable means the most beneficial alterations in human institutions could

      be obtained—( bear , hear , hear ) . If they adhered to perfectly peaceable means , he saw the certaintyjof carrying tbe Repeal . The Government might incarcerate him and others within four walls , but there were others to stand in their places—( hear , hear ) . Ireland had an excellent leader in the person of Mr . Smith O'Brien , who ; declared at the dinner given to him in the county of Limerick , that if to wish the liberty of Ireland was a conspiracy , be was a conspirator—( cheers ) .

      THE " REBECCA" MOVEMENT j-SOUTH WALES . t'From our , own Correspondent . ) Tbe prognostications I of the Editor of the Star bave been verified ; the primitive people of South Wales , whom oppression , exaction , and poverty bad goaded on to acts of outrage and riot , bave now been attempted to be held in awe , and ] to be restrained from carrying their wild ideas of remedial and retributive justice into effect , by the array of the formidable legal proceedings , which the gowrning powers of this country have at their command . The [ Editor of the Slur long since Foretold that these disturbances would end "in the

      DOCK ! IN THE TRANSPORT SHIP !! if not UPON THE scaffold II" and the event has proved that he was correct in the prophecy , Now . without assuming either the guilt or Innocence of the parties , your correspondent feels himself called upon to say a word or two as to tbe means by which the Government secured the- conviotion of tbe prisoners who were recently tried before the Special Commission . Some days prior to tbe opening of ^ such Commission , your correspondent saw a letter from a leading [ Chartist of Mertbyr Tydvil , in which tbe writer communicated the information that the jurors who were selected from that locality , were , to a man , the lick-spitUes of tbe aristocracy . The event proved that our friend was right ; for , when Mr . M . D . Hill , counsel for the prisoner , challenged the

      whole array of the panel , and in as many words flatly charged the high-sheriff of the county with gross partiality in the selection of the jury , no denial of the truth of the statement was even attempted , but the objection was got over by a legal quibble , in the shape of a " demurrer . " Tbia demurrer alleged that the charge was ottto general a nature ; as it ought to have Bet forth particular instances of partiality , in order that these might be put in issue . Now , it was well known that no time had been afforded to the prisoners , or this counsel , to make out any such case ; as they were only furnished with the list of jurymen on the morning of the day that tbe trial took place . Yet the court in their matter decided against them , and admitted the demurrer to be good in law . If proof were wanting that

      we have one law for the rich , and another for tho pour , or that the vaunted justice of English jurisprudence can only be obtained at an enormous cost , the present case would establish the fact beyond tbe possibility of surmise or doubt Here we have a man put upon his trial on a charge which may subject him to transportation for life ; it is urged onhia behalf that the law of the land bas been violated , by those who are sworn to administer its provisions ; and before the prisoner can obtain the advantage to which , in justice , this plea should entitle him , he has to carry tke case into another court and at a ruinous expense , in order to decide whether or no his trial has been conducted according to law . These expenses are of such a nature that even those who are "learned in the law" cannot

      b&zud a guess at what may be their amount ; but when your readers give a glance at tbe following formidable array of " costs . " they will be able to form some opinion of the price of justice . The expences in tbe Crown Office , ( calculated at about £ 20 ) , tbe costs of tbe Writ of Error , the Memorial to tbe Attorney-General to allow it , the coats of returning the Writ by the Clerk of the Peace , or Clerk of Arraigns of Indictments , and then tbe " costs" of the Habeas to bring up the prisoner to assign errors , and the { travelling expenses of the prisoner and bis guardians for that purpose . Add to all this " the fees for counsel / ' and that most comprehensive of all items , "incidental expenses , " aud they may see , with half an eye , that justice is truly a pearl of great price . j

      But I have not yet done with the case of these prisoners ; for I see by the Cambrian , of last Friday ' s date , that they have been prevailed upon to subscribe a document , which is cantingly styled a CONFESSION . Without alluding to the wording of that document , which clearly proves | that 1 b is not tbe production of partially educated men , almost wholly ignorant of the language in which It ia couched ; or its phraseology , in which tbe slime of parsonocracy is abundantly evident ; I confine my remarks to the principle of extorting confessions from j criminals in their position . A drowning man will grasp at a straw ; but it would be evidently cruel to place this straw within his reach , to

      induce bim to forego his hold upon a firmer support . These prisoners muy justly be likened unto mea in a drowning state ; yet ] they bave been induced , or permitted , to forego their bold to a certain extent upon the protection which their case ( as yet undecided ) entitled them to expect from the laws of their country ; in order to lay bold pt tbe feeble hope of mercy , which such recantation or confession might be supposed to engender in tbe bosoms of their rulers . Such conduct might harmonize with the spirit of a Star Chamber or Inquisition ; but it ill accords with the fine spun theories which are daily dinned into our ears , about tbe merciful spirit of the iawa of England .

      While tbis commission was going on at Cardiff , we bad another , to enquire into tbe grievances of tbe farmers , sitting at Carmarthen . The . affair was opened by the Right Hon . Tbos . Frankland Lewis reading the Royal Warrant authorising the peformance ; but from that day to the present not a single circumstance has been permitted to transpire . It ia understood , however , that they instituted ! a searching investigation into the administration of the various road trusts ; and that sundry instances of jobbery are being sifted to the bottom . i

      The spirit of insubordination is as strong as ever ; but the overwhelming amount of physical force fora time is likely to keep it in abeyance . The tactics of the " Beccas" seem also to have undergone a change ; for whilst the processions of armed bodies throughout the country at midnight have decreased , the number of incendiary fires have multiplied . Since I last wrote you there have been no fewer than eleven of these ; and in general to be attributed either to tbe farmer having taken bis land over the head of a former tenant , or some instance of oppression practised by the landlord , towards some or other of bis tenantry .

      One fin , however ; deserves to be particularly noticed ; that was the conflagration of the mansion ol Sir John Guest , M . P ., for Merthyr . Tbis bad been undergoing a partial alteration , land a new wing bad been added to tbe building ; and If the worthy M . P . bad not a kindly welcome to bis m > w abode , be had at all events & house-warming to celebrate his return . By the bye , tbe active part which tbis gentleman has taken in the recent trials has added very much ) to his unpopularity , so that steps are being taken to bring forward an opponent at the next general election—no milk-and-water half-and-half , but a regular out and out supporter of the Charter ; and the probability is that . be will be returned . i ' ¦

      The rural police are being drilled daily in the manual and platoon exercise ; and a beautiful hobble-de-hoy of a drill they make of it One of the superintendents of this force was waited upon a short time ago by " Old Becca , " who warned h < m that if be were in Senth Wales in a fortnight hence , ha should have no mercy . One of the London ; police was fired upon last night at Ponty-berem , when he contrived to make his heels save bis bacon . } On tbe occasion of a disinterested friend of William Chambers , Esq . taking a requisition paper round for

      signature at Davilly , where this gentleman bad until lately lived , and , si was said by some , expended "his ample fortune , " and by others bad extracted the utmost rent from an Impoverished tenantry ; the requisition soliciting him on the part of the subscribers to stay in the country , after a voluntary exile from the troublesome turbulence of tbe 'Beccas of the district ; the wag told the astonished dunner h < s bad a double voice to give : — j " One voice to stay , Another to go , And then to' stay away !"

      The consequence has been that the dolorous gentleman bas taken the hint , and is now about to sell his stock , Sea . to go on bis travels . A Justice in Jeopardy . —An odd story has just gone round some parts of Carmarthenshire , that a ' pikeman was about to lay an information against a Justice for demolishing bis " plunder-station "; for that be bad seen bim oa the top of the roofs ; and that , although disguised , be lookedthv same eld woman be always did ; there was no mistaking him .

      Extraordinary Incenndiaey Fires in Denbighshire—On Wednesday night last , the outbuildings belonging to thirteen farm-houses in Denbighshire were destroyed by an incendiary , fn thia extensive conflagration , one man lost his life , and seventeen head of cattle , in addition to a large quantity of farm produce , were destroyed . The houses were situated about nine miles from Corwen , in the villages of Llangwm andCerrig-y-Drnldion . The sufferers were all . related to each other . A hoar frost having fallen , the track of the incendiary ' s feet was distinctly visible , and he was easily traced fiom one place to another . Several individuals followed the trail to Tyn-y-Cefn , where it disappeared in an outhouse . Search was made ; but the fugitve could not be found . The track was again found

      and followed , but speedily lost . Suddenly a fire burst out in tbe outhouse which the pursuers had been searching . As there was little wind the flames were easily extinguished . All the peasantry of the district were soon up in ! pursuit of the fugitive ; and * on Thursday night , an individual , who , it is not doubted , is tbe perpetrator of all thia diabolical and cruel mischief , was taken at Sala . His shoes have been compared with the footmarks , and they agree perfectly . He waaj seen the day before hear the place where the fires commenced , although he denies having been anywhere in the neighbourhood . It seems he has i been holding out threats for some time . Tbe first place which was fired was Gaer

      Geriig ( occupied by W . Ellis , the prisoners grandfather ) , wh » re eight cattle were destroyed . The second place was Grose : Faen ( E . Jones ) . Mrs . Jones was his father ' s sister . This U ) the place where a young man lost his life in attempting to save seven head ef cattle . Mrs . Davies , the wife of John Davies , of Glan-y-gpes , is his father's sister . It seems that tbe . miscreant passed several farm-yards without committing any crime . Pen-y-giaig , occupied by John Baviea , la within about one hundred yards of his own father ' s house , which he passed .

He is only twenty-four years of age , and is a native of Cerrig . y-Druidion . Tbe chief constable , with a division of the Danbigbsbira police , promptly repaired to the scent of this disastrous occurrence , and remained in the nelghbourhocd until tbe prisoner was committed , when he was conveyed to Rutbin gaol by two of them .
