THE STATE TRIALS . —QUEEN'S BENCH . Dublin , Kov . 9 . i Mr . Justice Crsnrpton sst this morning , at Imlf-past ; ten o ' clock , to hear Emotions of course . He rose shortly ; after eleven o ' clock to meet the other Judges in a Court ; of Error , -where thdi lordBhips were occupied tmtil I four o ' clock , __ " ] In consequence of an intimation from the Attorney- Gsnsnlat tfca rising of the Court yesterday evening j that it was his intention to send up a fresh bill of in- ; fiictment to tbe Grand Jnry against fenr of the par- fea implicated , and the Jmy having been directed to ¦ be in attendance this morning , the Court and Hall j
were much , crowded throughout the day by persona ; tnxioiialy desirous of ascertaining the nature of the i cbarges &i < I in the nerw indictment , the names -of the parties -charged , and -whether the jnry , "wco "were closeted all day , ~ wovHd find the bill It was art nnril Cus hour ( quarter-past faur o ' clock ) , and after the Jury had retired , that I ascertained that the indictment bad sot been sent np , and that the Jury hid been occupied ill day vrith fiscal business . The nature of the indictment has not transpired . A rumour prevailed in tie hall that it is for high treason , founded on the information of " traitorsfrom theKepeal camp . " Others State as confidently that it is for misdemeanour only .
At half-past four o ' clock the Judjes entered tfca tJkrart . Mi . Hena , Q , C , then rose . and * aid , he had to apply to tie Court on behalf of Daniel 0 * Coni > ell , one of the t-aversers , for Bberty to compare his copy of the indictment with the orgina 1 bilL He moved en the affidavits of lit Pord , Sir . CantweU , and "Mr . Pierce Xlabony , solicitors for several of the traversers . Messrs . Tord and Cantwell stated that , in performance of their duties , they attended in the cffi = e of Mr . Walter Bourne , at . the hour cf eleven o ' clock in the forenoon of this day , for the purpose x > t comparing a cpy of the indictment f * und in this prosecution -with the original , and asked Mr . Bourne would he allow the copy to be compared -with the said indictment ? "Whereupon Mr Bourne stated that It was at his private residence in Earconrt-street , av . d not in his . cffi . ee . and consequently it could not be conxDarctL Messrs . IFord and Cant well
called again , bat Mr . Boarrse told them he bafl it . trat "Would not allow it to be compared with any of the copies , haring received directions not to allow anything of the kind . Mr . Forth deposed that he then immediately addressed himself to Mr . Kem-Hiis , Crown Soiidtor , and asted him if he 3 xad given snch directions on the part of the Crowa ? In repJy , Mr . Ksnnnia asid bo had given up such directions . Deponent farther saith , that isTinjr conveyed to Mr . Bjirme the reply of Mr . 3-Cemmis , ths former stated tfeat he would not allow
any of them to be compared without an order from the Court for that purpose . 3 Ir . Henn continued to say , it is essentially necessary that before we plead we ahonld ascertain , beyond all doubt , that the copy we received is 3 trne and correct copy of the original indictment ; for should it turn out that there was a material -variance between these copies famished to hk and the Mil of indicinjcut ^ our demurrer would be raled , not according to the copy fumisted to ua , but by the record of the Conrt . The Attorney-General here entered the conrt , and
Tbe Gcief-Justice informed T"t ™ that an application fcaa been made upon behalf of Mr . O C ^ nnell to have one cf the copies of the indictment compared with the the original . The Attorney-General—I apprehend , my lord , that the copies served by the clerk of . tte Crown were properly certified ; therefore , if that is the case , 1 do not feel tint there is anything out of the ordinary course to be dons in this case , mere than in any other . Mr . Whiteside contended , that the traversers were all legally entitled , to have copies compared . Alterations had already besn made in She indictment , and it Tras better for them to ta \ e correct copies of it , than to get a "wrong one , which would cause mistakes , and protract the proceedings . If the officer certified that the document was a copy , it did not make it a trne copy , snd * his-client-had a riatt to have it compared .
The Soacitor-General remarked , that a certified copy ¦ was tbe « smeas a cocfirmed one , 88 it "Would DOt be fTTSfied witbouX comparipg It . The Chief- Jp- ? tice—I think there should bs no objection to the present application . Let one copy be therefore" compared . The Attorney-General would not further object -, but he "wonld call upon the Court to direct thr . t nothing endorsed upon the back of the bill should be seen , as the taversers had no right to see the witnesses whose names were sent to the Jury . They might compare one copy with the clerk of the Crown , but they had not a sight even to handle the indictmen * ' Mr . Henn did not want to do more than have his client ' s copy legally compared in the ordinary manner ; tui im BnSmittsd that the rule to plead should run from the time the comparison was made .
The Chief Justice—This part of your application , " Mr . K ^ rm , is tha subject of another motion , and a motion on notice , which should ta given to the Attorney-General before jovc bring the matter before the Conrt . The origiaal application was to awe famished copies compared , and je > u have got it . Ml 21-3 > jnouch then applied in the case of the * ' Q ac&n against 3 > . uj 5 s 1 O Connell , " that > i « client , tlie travtrser , dionlflbeIunnshed"wiUi a copy of the caption of the andicnuent , which "was not furnished , as it should have been , by the Grown solicitor .
The Attom ? y-S ? nfeial said , there was a short answer to the application made by Mr . M'Donough—it was a motion without notice . The opposite side might serve jiotice of this motion if they pleased , and when they came to make it before their Lordehips , he { the Attorney-Gen £ ral ) would oppose it . Ths matter at present stood as follows i—The Crown yesterday was entitled to have a rule to plsad entered- The Court , if it pleased , could extend tbe time to plead upeu cause tkewn ; and ? f Mr . JI'Dsnongh wished to come forward with a motion for an extension o ! the time to plead , en the ground of his not having received a copy of the caption of the indictment , it wa 3 competent for him to do bo , and serve notice of that motion , wbich he { the Attorney-SsiseTal ) would oppose as he tad already ifr > ofl Mr . H'Donough observed , that was not his present motion .
53 ie Attorney-General said they did nst know what i 3 motion was . Mr . M-T > anongh—So it tppeirs . IA langh . ) The Attorney-General—1 have alreadj said that if you fc ! ve rotice cf your motion , I will oppose it ; a ^ d until you comply with that clear rule of this Courti their Lordships will not entertain your application . The CtErt decided that notice mast be given . Mr . Whiteside asked to fca allowed to give netiee for to-morrow morning . The Attorney objected , he -jyonld wish to see the
nonce . Mr-M-CDonouzh—Oar notice cf motionis simply this ^ The Cldef JusSce—We have already heard Mr . Seen , Mr . WMtedde , and 70 a . J > ot twice , if you please . According to the ordinary rules of Court , notice of nution siufit be saved . TLat rule is more applicable in cases ¦ nrhere counsel says " I icqnire notice , in order th& . I may Sea&B whether I -trill oppose the moUon oe not , " In the presect case , we canrot so oni of tfcs oamTnon cocrse of Coorl , and therefore M there be notice of this motion—a two-dav rale .
The Cofirt then adjourned until to-morrow , at halfpast ten o ' clock . Dablint 2 Cov . 10 . The CoKrt of Qieen's Bsnch was again this day the g ^ and focn 3-of attraction , it being the general expectation , as W 2 Z ictimatsd on the previous day by the Avtomey-General , that fresh bills of indictment would be sent before tbe Grand Jury against some of the parties " who already stcsd charged before the Court on other accusations . It was understood that the new bills charred Mesers . Daniel O'CanneH , Thomas Steele , J . M- Ray , and 3 ) r . Gray , with attendinf an unlawful srxmWy— -nasDely , the Bepeal Association ; and it was SEimised that the qnestion of the le&ality or illecadty
cf thit iody would thus have been brought to an issue-It was only natural then that tbe greatest anxiety should have prevailed as to the fate of the new bii'ss . Sumeur had it &at thsy charged tbe parties with treatan ; that sundry letters had betn abstracted from Secretary Ray ' s bureau at the Corn-Exchange ; sad upon ihese docnments it 3 pbs alleged tfie Dills had been framed - —these , islth oihe ? Esrsilssa , met ready belie £ 2 ? o illla , however , w = xe sent np _ , and ii transpired eariy in Bie forenosn , and cat of Court , that the intention of further prccaediEgs upon them had bevn abandoned for the present . It is somewhat Etrsuge that ev ^ n the £ "Ests for tbe acenssd parties wera in profeund ig-Dorasce er thi = deciaaa up to three o ' clock this aftersoon .

The Moming Chronkie and several other papers announeed that the New Bills had been abandoned . ' But the DuMin 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 Mwdlcr says— 11 It is still , however , their intention to prefer the Bills ; and the parties named , against whom this proceeding is to be directed , are Mr . O"Connell , Mr . Steele , Dr . Gray , and Mr . Ray , who are to be indicted as Bsernbers of an illegal Association , and thn $ the question of the legality of the Repeal Association is to be tried .
II was supposed that the Bills in question would charge the parties vrith High Treason , but this we believe erroneous . In like manner , both the Mail and tha P-ost say that the Bills are abandfred—that the Crown Officers , after consultation , considerc-d it advisable to retrace their steps ; but thiB , we have reason Xo tdieve , is not correct . " Dublin , Nov . 11 . Mr . Justice Crampton was engaged in hearing short motions this morning until 11 o ' clock , at which hour the Attorney-General , tbe Solicitor-General , Messrs . WbHesirte , Qaeen ' B Counsel . Hatchell , Qaef-n " s Counsel , and M'Donougb , Queen ' s CcnnBel , entered the court . Theattorniesof Messrs . OConnell , Vdfff ^ and others of the traversers were also in attendance , End swore
some affidavits , the nature of which did not transpire . The court was densely crowded by members of the bar and by the public ¦ whestve * admitted . Mr . T . Stsele aud the Rev . Mr . Tyraell occupied seats under the jury gallery , close to the celebrated Sam-Gray , who was brcnght up in custody of the gaoler of K-. lmamham to receive judgment . Mr . Sbiel , M . P ., on emering , was warmly greeted by Mr . Steele . To the evident disappointment of tvery one , hia Lordship rose and gave the usual announcement , so dreaded by all lately , that he bad to meet the ot&er Judges iu error in the case of the convicts Noonan a < id Hoolahan , which has occupied them for several days back from eleven to three o ' clock , completely checking the progress cf business in all the four courts .
Judge Bar ton , however , took his seat io-fay at half past one o ' clock , and was followed shortly after by the Chief Justice and Judges Crampton and Perrin . Sir T . Staples , Queen ' s Counsel , infoimed their Lordships teat , pursuant to order , Samuel Gray was brought Tip before them , ana he ( Sir 1 . Staples ) now prayed the judgment on behalf of the Crown . Mr . Whiteside , Qa&en ' s Counsel , begged their Lordships not to proceed in the matter that day , as the very important motion of " tbe Queen against Charles Gavin Djffy , proprietor of the Ration . " wonld 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 , but referred to The Attorney-General , who said it was important that the morion of " The Qaeen against Duffy" should be disposed of that day .
Mr . Whiteside then moved , with much force and length of argument , that 3 copy of the indictment , including * be "witnesses" nam-.-s , and all the endorsements on the back of the original , should be delivered to his client , Mr . C . G- Daffy , proprietor of the Nation . The Leiraed Counsel quoted many authorities to support his view of tbe case , -which was to tbs effect that a copy of Ice indictmc t " meant not only a duplicate of ihe sulij setmatter of the original , but also of tha endorsemenu of the same . He contended , from 1 st Carringtoii and Payne , p . 85 , and several other reports , that there wit intrinsic evidenca to shew that in Eng ' and the practice was to give copies of the endorsements .
The Attorney-General opposed the application , but on The ground that he had received two different notices uf the motion ( which oVjsction , however , was m £ t by the withdrawal of ono of them ) , as well as on the merit ? . He asserted that the practice of giving witnesses names was ucknown in Ireland , and for the truth of that assertion would only refer to tbeir Lordships' experience . He would shew ttut in England it was equally unknown , and referred to a very recent case rep » rted in the Jurist for 18-12 , in the matter of the " Queen v . Gordon , " wheTein Mr . Justice Pattison had stated that such an application was unprecedented . Mr . Justice Perrin thought that case referred merely to t ? ie addresses and residences of the witneista .
The Attorney-General lead the passage , which men . tioned that ' the names and residences" if the witnesses were applied for , and proceeded to support his opposition at considerable length , expressing his be ' . itf that the application was merely to getlirae . Mr . Wbiteside , with all respv-ct to the Attorney-General , would say he had no right to observe on what wag not before the Court . The Chief Justice said that the Attorney General had quite a right to do so . The Attorney-General proceeded in his argument , and alluded to tha diversity in the notices , manifestly , in his opinion , served for the purpose of creating fieiay , and concluded bj formally opposing the motion . 3 Ir . O'Hagan then addressed the Coort , and was replied to by the SoiidtOT-GeneraL
The Lord Ghitf Justice ( having conferred for a few minntes with his brother judges ) said the court were unaniHwnisly of opinion that the application of the tr-iverser c « aWnot be granted . It was pee not gronrded upon ary particular statute or state of facts nuking a peculiar case , -which entitled Mr . Charles Gav&n Duffy in his paiiienlar person to have sn order , -which he ( to have it granted ) should in dace the court to believe was absolutely necessary f 6 r forwarding the en s cf justice , and to defend himself againBt the charges made against him . He h ? i made out no particular caae , nor stat 6 d any particular facts ; but he comes in and demands the names of the witnesses sentupon the back of the indictment to tbe grand jury as a matter of right , which
bill of indictment was found to be a true one against him . It was v = ry extraordinary that if the application was one tjtdebito juttiiies , that the Learned Counsel for the applicant could not produce a siDgle authority to support tbe motion , point out a single instance in which the practice was as stated , or even show where the same rule had been applied for . It was , therefore , a motion altogether unprecedented ; and being without precedent , and tbe practice being reported ky the officer of the Court to be diametrically opposed to the application , -without going further into that part of the question , the Court -w « re clearly uf opinion that they had EEfficiect jjronnUs to refase tbe motion , unless the party making it could demonstrate that he was entitled to it a" a matter of
right-Mr . Jnsric * Perrin expressed his concurrence with the Chief Justice in refusing the application .
THE QI-EE 5 V . THE REV . MR . IIBEELL . Mz- M-D- > ncu 2 h . QC , next rose to move that tbe copy of tbe indictment furnished to his client be amended by having the " caption" attached to it . He moved on an u& ? avit , which set forth that this material portion of the Bill cf Indictment was necessary for tbe defence , and that it was not sought for the purpose of causing delay . The learned counsel spoke at considerable length in support of his application , and in tbe course of h s ekqaent address cited a variety of cases which appeared lo be strictly applicablo to the present case . The Attorney-General roBe to oppose the motion . He said th « dtfendaiits -were fornistied wittl A copy Of the indictmtnt as ii was banded down by the Grand Jnry , and that was all the Act of Parliament required . He contended the caption was no part of tbe indictment- Tb . 6 Right Hon . Gentleman concluded his speech in reply at a quarter past five o'clock .
Sir Coleman O'Lougblin rose and asked whether the Solicitor- G-neral wished to speak on the motion . If he did , this was his time , and not in reply to the second counsel for the traverser . The Solicitor-General said he had the right to reply . A discussion ensued between the counsel on both sides and tbe Bench on the point of practice , the Crown lawyers contending for the right to reply . Sir Coleman O'Loughlin was then proceeding to speak , when Mr . M ~ Denough said , with much naivete , my Lord , as this is a constitutional question , and this evening is fsj advanced , we had better adjourn the further discussion —( laughter ) . Tbe Bench agreed , and the Court ajourned at halfpast five o ' clock . The farther arguments to be heard ou Monday morning . Dublin . Nov 13 .
At eleven o'clock this morning the Chief Justice entered tke court , and was quickly followed by his learned brethren .
THE QU ££ > r . THE KEY . P . J . TTERELL . The arguments on the motion which was made on Satarday , on the part of the defendant , for a copy of the caption of the indictment , were resumed by Sir Coicir-an O'Logblen , who contended , in support of the application , that the law required that the cap-Ucn iiouM bo made out , not as the Attorney-General argued , -Rhen the record was made up , but in point of law it oujjht to be made out as soon as the indictment was found . He contended that the officer of the court was hound to make it up when the indictment was found . He admitted that it was not the practice to do so ; nevertbeleM , according to law , it ought to be done . In cases 01 treason , tne practice was to give a copy of tbe caption of tbe indictment to the prisoner , along with the in 4 ir . tin . ent itself ; and in these cases it was clear that it must be made np when the indictment is found . In Johnson ' s case , 6 East ., page 583 , their
Lordships would find tie copy of the caption prefixed to tbe indictment ; that , in point of law , the officer was bound to get the caption made np along with the indictment wet clearly inferrable from this , Oat in order to obtain a copy of it , it must » e required by the defendant before plea pleaded . Ate LBarned Counsel referred to Foster , 230 , the King » . U » ke , state Triala , 330 , in suppor t of these proponWl , v * ?

The Sollcitor-General replied on behalf of the Grown . He contended that the caption was no part of the indictment , and , coneequently , the defendant in this case waa not entitled to a copy of it He cited Andrew ' s Criminal law , and a decision of Lord MaOB&eld to show that the caption waB no part of the indictment , but merely a copy of the atyle of the court at which the indictment waa found . He admitted that in cases of high treason the defendant was entitled to a copy of the caption ; but although the Act of Parliament was iu force in England as well as Ireland , the practice had never been extended to caatB 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 ciaea . The court adjourned for a few minutes . After being twenty minutes in consultation , their Lordships again returned into court .
TheCnitf Justice , Judge Burton , and Judge Crampton , severally delivered judgment against the application , and at great length . Mr . Justice Perrin delivered hlB 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 FOR A LIST OF CROWN WITNESSES . Mr . Whiteside , Queen ' s Counsel , said tbat in the case of " the Queen v . Duffy" he had made application on Saturday for a return of the names Of the 'Witmsses endorsed on the indictment , which had t 3 en refused by the Court on the ground that tbero WQ 3 no precedent for granting such an application . Since then , he had found a csse which went directly to sustain the right of the defendant to the list which he claimed . The case he allnded to was " the King v-Burton , " cited in tha case of " the King v . Dr . Patnell , " in Sir William Blackstone's ReportB , first volume , page 36 , where the Lord Chief Justice of the King ' a Bench gave it as Mb opinion , that the prisoner wrs entitled , as a matter of course , to a copy of the endorsement on the back of the indictment . He would beg leave to hand up the case to their Lordships , and call upon them , in accordance with that high authority , to direct their cinder to furnish the defendant with a list of their accusers .
The Attorney-General said , that their Lordships had alrtadj decided on the two motions brought for ^ aid on behaif of Mr . Whiteside ' ft clients , and there being no notice of the present motion of course he should oppose it Mr . Whiteside . —In the case I have handed up to the Court , the graBting of a list © f the names of witnesses is mentioned as a matter of course . Mr . Justice Crampton . —But the objection hero is , that you are taking tbe Crown by surprise . Mr . Whiteside . —The Crown have nothing to do with it < A Laugh . ) I would not ask a favour from the Crown , because if I did , I know they would not grant it . ( Laughter . J All I want is , that the Court should direct the officer of tbe court to do that which , according to the dictum of the Chief JuBtico of England , is a matter of course . Mr . Jus ' . isa Cwnipton . —You must give notice to the Attorney-General .
Mr -Whiteside —1 did not know it was in Wb power to grant . my application . Mr . Justice Crampton . —Ysu arc not at all mistaken there ; it is not in his power to grant it , nevertheless you must « pve notice . The Attorney-General said that there were nine other notices of motion served on the part of the defendants , and he wished to know if they intended to move upuu any of them ! Mr . Pjizjibbon , QjeezTa Counsel , said they bad sent for Mr . M 3 oro , who was to move the ntxt motioD . The Chief Justice—Very well ; but certainly tbe Court will not allow a motion similar to those motions already refused to be now brought forward under another name . Mr . Fitzgibbon said that the motion was different from those whicB preceded it .
The Chief Jnstice—If called on to give my opinion I should say that the two laBt motions should have been moved at one and the same time . Mr . Moore , Queen ' s Counsel , here entered the Court , and said that nt > hid been instructed to move an application consequent on the two motions which bad been &f £ ubd before the Coart , but their Lordships being ut opinion that the defendants were not entitled either to a list of the witnesses on tbo buck of the indictment or to a copy of the caption , he and the gentlemen with whoji he acted wtre of opinion that the ground on which thoy could eustaiu tbo conelative motion was taken from under their feet , ani 1 they should not therefore bring forward the third motion .
MOTION FOB A BILL OF PAHTICULARS . Mr . Jdoore said , that Id tbe same case of " tbe Queen v . Daniel OConnell , " there % as another notice of motion served ou Saturday , which should come on to-morrow at furthest ( as that was the last day for pleading ) , otherwise they could not move it at all . The Chief Justice . —What is the nature of the motion ? Mr . Moore said that it was to get a bill of particulars of tbe charges in the indictment . Tbe Chiel Jnstice said that they had mode an arrangenu-nt to hear further argument to-morrow , on a demurrer which lay over , and then go into the case of " the Qaeen v . Simuel Giay . "' The Cmrt wou ^ d consider ¦ whether they should give tho priority of bearing to Satuui . 4 Qray ' fl ease or to Mr- Moore's motion . Mr . Moore said that , if they did not move it to-morrow , it would be too late .
The Chief ' Justice then intimated that , if Mr . Moore was ready to-morrow , he might briDg the motion on . Mr . Justice Crampton , at the very rising of'the Court , said they had looked into the case handed up by Mr . Wbiteside , and it appeared to be a case tenioved by cerliorari to the King's Bench , and the Court had nothing but the caption and the indictment before it It appeared to him to have been merely an application to know who the prosecutor in the case was . Tbe Court then adjourned .
THE PROSECUTIONS RUMOUttS OF THE DAY . The Cork Reporter gays : — 11 We learn that the names of a number of highly respectable and influential persons—not Repealersresidents of the city and county of Cork , including those of the Mayor and Sir Octavlus Carey , the General commanding the district , were this day for warded to Dublin , 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 Chronic'e says : —
" According to the information wbich has reached me , the travcrsers are to file a special demurrer , In the form of a plea of abatement , on the ground of informalities in the indictment ; but a demurrer of this kind will ba quite distinct from the pleadings , which are in preparation . Whether the pleadings are to be filed to-morrow , at the termination of the four days , will depend on the fate of motions before the Court in tbe 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 , xetxe 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 the part of the defenep , that one of the traver&era h ? 3 no fewer than 30 , 900 witnesses to bring forward ; and by way of further procrastinating tbe proceedings , it is said that ten notices for bills of particulars have bien served , one for each traveraer 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 BEKT . The following appears in the Carlow Sentinel , a Tory paper : — " The Derby . nane Property . —It is a fact very little known that Mr .

STATE OF THE COUNTRY . Signal Fib . es in the North . —A Fermanagh paper says— " We learn with great regret that those mysterious movements , which in other counties manifested themselves in lighting of straw and making bonfires , have commenced here . In one district , the houses of Roman Catholics have been singled out by two distinct white marks . We have not been able to ascertain the real meaning of these demonstrations , but , no doubt , something political is intended . "
LORD HAWARDE . VS PROSECUTION . As soon as tbe Court of Queen ' s Bench shall have time to devote to any other cose bat the state prosecutions , Mr . Sheil is to show cause against the conditional rule for a criminal information , obtained by Lord Hawarden against Mr . Daffy , proprietor of the Nation This prosecution , as you are aware , has been instituted by Lord Hawarden in consequence of the publication of letters of the late Rev . Mr . Davem , a Roman Catholic clergyman , who officiated as curate in a parish adjoining the estate of the Noble Lord , in the county of Tipperary .
Mr . Davern , some months previous to his disease , publicly acknowledged himself as the writer , and , in a letter published in tbe Nation , undertook the whole responsibility , and offered to defend his statements by evidence . It was tbe general belief that the action aa against the Nation had been abandonded ; but at the commencement of this term , Mr Davern having died in the mean time , the proceedings wore continued against that journal .

REPEAL ASSOCIATION . November 13 . Shortly after one o'clock Mr . O'Connell 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 Associatioa 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 his 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 variouB localities throughout Ireland that were to present petitions to Parliament praying for Repeal . Tnere was one point to which he wished to call the attention of the association ; it was the fart that they looked for Repeal to peaceable means , and to peaceable means alone ( hear , hear ) . Tne principle of his political life was , that the greatest political ameliorations in government and political institutions could be obtained only by peaceable means ( hear , hear ) . There was no instance of popular success bv violent means that did not end 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 he had adopted it hitherto in the straggle 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 . assort that thvy ever violated the peace la agitacing the Repeal Chear , hear ) . No one presumed to make any buch assertion ; in fact , the accusation against them was that they were too peaceable—( laughter)—and it was said that they must be very dangeroua fellows . because they kept quiet so long—daughter ) . But ho perceived that their enemies were endeavouring to irritate the people in
every direction . There was a paragraph in the Times , of Saturday , most insulting and irritating to the people of Ireland—( hear , hear ) . He would not sally his lips by reading it , but it had fixed on his miud the perfect conviction , that the persons conducting that paper were exceedingly anxious for tome tumult or disturbance in Ireland—( hear , hear ) . He had heard snico he oame into the room , that some min that had been iu America , was preaching p . edinon through the streots of Dublin yesterday , and that the p&lic 6 arrested him ; he hoped he was severely punished , for he was doubly criminal—first , because ho uttered sedition ; and secondly , because he uttered that sedition at such a moment as the present . He ( Mr . O'Connell ) had now to read an address which he had prepared to the people of Ireland , and to move its adoption and ciroulatioa throughout
Ireland , and that a oopy 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 ho would Bucceed . What signified the prosecutions at present pending 1 they might perhaps cause inconvenience to the parties prosecuted , but they could not afieot the spirit of the entire nation—or the perseverance of the people—and it would go very hard if he did not find out some means through the press , of conveying his sentiments to tho people —( hear , hear , and cheors ) . He called upon the people not to gratify their enemies and mortify their friends by committing violencelet them do nothing to tarnish the beautiful , tbe noble , and sacred cause in which they were engaged —thf cause of the liberty of their country—( cheers ) . The Honourable Gentleman then read the address .
" TO THE l'EOPLE OF IRELAND . 41 Fellow Countrymen , —I never felt half the anxiety wbich I do at present to be distinctly understood in tho advice I give , and to have that advice implicitly obeyed . " The reason of tbiB ! anxiety is , that if my advice be followed , the restoration of the Irish Parliament will assuredly be obtained—and obtained in a manner th ? most honouiable 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 tfftct . I Hiost respectfully solicit tbe Catholic clt . rgy in every pariah to enforce my advice by their couuael and their venerated authority .
• " My advice , then , is this—I wish I could make it a command—that there be perfect peace , order , and tranquillity in every parish in Ireland ; that there shall nOt . hts tho smallest riot , tumult , or violence ; no public meeting , uulbfta it be called by public advertisement , sanctioned at least by some of tbe clergy ; and not even then , except for the ssle purpose of petitioning the Queen and the Parliament . I want tbe moet perfect'quiet , poace , and tranquility , until all these trials are over . No matter what the event of the prosecutions may be , I am thoroughly convinctd that in any event they will tend to facilitate tbe obtaining of repeal , provided only tbat tbe people preserve the condition of tbe most perfect quietude during those trials . It will b 9 easy to preserve tranquillity after those trials shall—aa they ought—have terminated successfully for the unjustly accused , or however they may terminate .
" Nothing cnutd possibly injure our causo before the court and jury half so much as any occurrence of tumult , riot , or physical force of any kind whatsoever . ' If anybody givea you advice contrary to mine , believe mo tbat he is an enemy of mine and of yours . Arrest every such man , and bring him before the police . " Let there not be , I cod jure you , the smallest disturbance . Any man who joins in any disturbance , I proclaim to be my personal enemy . If yon be friends of mine , take my advice , and be perfectly tranquil . I coujuro you to tranquility , ia the name of your country . I adjure you to be tranquil , in tbe name of the ever adorable and living God " liocullect that the principle upon which we have looked for tbe Repeal of the 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 lifu , aud tbat in which I have instructed the people of Iceland , is , that Ml the amelioiationaand improvements in political institutions can be obtained by persevering in a perfectly peaceable and legal course ; aid cannot be obtained by any forcible means ; or if tbey eould be got by forcible means , such means create more evi s than they cure , and leave the country worse than they found it This great experiment of improving Ireland by peaceable Bieuus is what we now have in progress . We havo hitherto—blessed te Qo 6 !—had all our efforts marked by perfect peace and tranquillity . Let there be no deviation whatsoever from tbat peaceable and tranquil conduct I want that everybody should remain in peace anti at home during tbe coming trials , and until after thoy are completely over . He is an enemy who wiiulJ 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 ,: ny event whatsoever , or of whatever nature that event may be ; but to continue calm , peaceable , tranquil , and loyal . And if thia advice be followed , I anticipate , and I think 1 can promise , that the result of these trials will be eminently useful to the Kepea ) cause . * ' But—attend to me—if there be dutlng the trials the slightest outbreak of violence in any parish , it will be my duty immediately to abandon the Repeal cause , and to foraake a people who , at such a critical period as tbe present , wouid not follow tbe advice I so earnestly give them . "I however , have no fe . irs that my counsel will be disobeyed . I confidently expect that the people will not injure my causo , and the cjusa of Ireland , by disreeard ' iBii my advice .
" Be therefore calm , quiet , tranquil , peaceful , loyal . Piolate no taw of man—obey icith dtvoul reverence the law of God . * ' You will thus mortify and diaappoint youi 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 serve the cause , and gratify tbe heart of " Your devoted friend , "Daniel O'Gonnell .
The Rev . Mr . TYRREtL ( one of the traverses ) , in seconding the motion , defended himself and the Repealers generally , from th ^ imputation that while they preached peace they meant war . Such a thing it was impossible for Mr . O'Connell / aa a Roman Catholic , to do , or for him ( Mr . Tyrrell ) . , as a Roman Catholic priest , to sanction—( hear ) . Motion agteed to . Mr . OConneil then called attention to the subject of the commission appointed to in ^ L'ire into the state of landed tenure in Ireland , referred ic the attack of tbe
Tory press on the late Mr . Drummou * for his enunciation of the principle that property hill its duties as well as its right ? , and asked how i , \ was that the Government had become convinced of i , \ s justness and propriety ?—a question which he answei " = d by assuring the association that the change of opinion on the subject was owing to the exertions of the Repealera , who had the consolation of having set the stagnant mass In motion , and giyeu rise to the prospect of a Vealthy Irrigation . He wished everybody to give all pocaible assistance to this commUs ' . on , although not very well

satisfied w . th the pe'sons appointed . That , however , waa the fault of the Government , who offered to nominate Mr , M . O'Ferrall , but tbat gentleman could not serve owing to bad health . He ( Mr . O'Connell ) was ready to b& examined , and be now movdd that it waa the opinion of the Association that every assistance ba given to this commission . Mr . J . O'Connell baving seconded the motion , it was agreed to . i Mr . O'Connell next alluded to a proposition from one of tbe leading organs of the Government for pensioning the R ' . man Catholic clergy of Ireland at the expense of £ 600 , 000 a year . It would require an additional sum ofj £ 400 , 000 to render the amount sufficient for its object , but even that the Roman Catholics clergy of Ireland would refuse , as they had always done . He did not think John Bull would be satisfied
to pay even £ 600 , 000 to PopiBb pries * - ) who were trsking for nothiug , particularly when be had plenty of people asking foi something to satisfy —( bear ) . The paper be alluded to paid the Catholic clergy the compliment of saying 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 each parish , should be handed down from one pastor to another . Having again stated tbat the Rjmttu Catholic clergy of Irefaud would never consent toja state provision , Mr , O'Connell rdad the following letter from Mr . Scurge , which will explain itself . — i
" TO J . M . RAT , SECRETARY TO THE LOYAL NATIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION , DUBLIN . "lam this morning favoured with thy letter of thei ) th instant , containing a copy of tbe resolutions passed by your association , on the 30 th ultimo , and calling my attention particularly to tfce fourth , in which I am requested ' to specify what tbe qutstions are involving the interests of the United Kingdom , exclusive of those which come within the range of the Royal prerogative . ' ¦} Bsfora glvin'g a reply , I would respectfully submit tbat the advocates of Repeal snould . clearly define who is to advise ihe Sovereign in the exercise of that power . j
" You contend tbat the prerogative of the Crown includes within j its operation all , or nearly all , the matters for which what was designated ' Imperial Legislation' is thought to be necessary ; but , as it is a maxim of the British Constitution tbat ' the Sovereign can do no wrong / the Ministers of the Crown , who are controlled by a majority of the House of Commons , give or refuse the Rjjal assent to what measures they think fit ; and it : is held by many true friends of Ireland that as long as we are one kingdom there must be some one body to Whom the Ministers of the Crown arc responsible , and that this body should ba the
representatives of the whole nation . " If all who ! desire equal justice to Ireland agree upon great and | well-defined principles , minor details will not , I trustj keep them long separate ; and your full recognition of an equality of civil and religious rights is eminently calculated to remove the prejudices or tbe honest-minded , the feais of tbe tirn id , and to show to the world at large that jou seek only impartial justice fur all your fellow subjects . I " Very respectfully , ! " JuSEl ' U STL'RGB . " " Birmiugham , 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 bave tbe confidence of that Parliament He intended that the control of the Irish Parliament should apply only to the employment of the instruments of power in Ireland , leaving to the British Parliament the general administration of the country and the selection of the Crown . i Amongst some sums of money handed ia were £ 52 from Armagh aad . £ 106 from Cork ( as proclamation money ) . j
Mr . OConnell handed in £ 51 18 s . from Manchester , and £ 44 14 s ; . 6 d . from Carthisland , county of Kerry . Hu had seen in the newspapers an account of a Repeal Convention In New York , and he thought a great portion of the proceedings deserved tbeir marked reprobation—( hear , hear ) . They had a communication from that Convention ; but as a matter of precaution he would move that no communication from that Convention should be received until it was submitted to the committee for consideration , as to the suitableness of presenting it to the association , or returning it to America . i Mr . John O'Connell then rose to bring forward his plan for the fiscal arrangement between tbe two countries when the Repeal was carried , and placed the following document before the meeting : — " Outlines of a proposed Financial arrangement between Great Britain and Ireland , after ( fie Repeal . '
" l . That the principle of the arrangement be that the revenues ofj Ireland be spent at home . " 2 . Tbat the first charge upon her revenues be hei debt , as it stands at present . " 3 . That her contribution to tbe imperial active expeuditure to as now , according to tbe full'measure of her ability ,: as shown by a comparison of the products of equal taxes in both countries , or each other elements ! of Comparison as may be agreed upon . ] «• 4 . Tbat a revision of the proportions of contributions of either country respectively do take place at such periods as ; may be agreed upon ; the first to be within five years after the Repeal . " 5 That if it be deemed expedient at the time of the Repeal that } Ireland should be charged with any debt bayond what appea . s charged to her in the public accounts , such debt be transferred from the English to the Irish funds . !
" 6 . That thejvarioua items of imperial expenditure be apportioned j between tbe two countries ia such a manner as to obviate all necessity for the revenues of one country being spent in the other . " 7 . Tbat the control and management of the revenues of Ireland , subject to the foregoing rules , be with the Parliament of Ireland ; and tbat rtfftbing herein contained be deemed or assumed to limit the constitutional riyht of that Parliament to stop or limit the supplies on constitutional cause arising . " Mr . O'Connell ? announced the Repeal Rent for the week to be £ 1 , 070 19 s . b <\ . ( Loud cheers . ) The association adjourned to Monday next . ;
! MR . O ' CONNELL . It is stated to-day that Mr . O'Connell is not in ] the possession of that robust health which the Hon .

From the threatening notices I had received , and from the sworn evidence of persons on the spot when the fire commenced , the magistrates came to the conclusion that the burning was malicious .
