THE STATE PROSECUTIONS , The Abatehest Plea . —InTeferenee \ a the reception of this Piea by the Court , agiinst the tosh and efforts of the Crown La"wyers , and in reference to the tfed ihat It may have on fee whole ^ proceedings , the Dublin Monitor of Monday has the following :- * - " The fonr-Say rnle to plead expires to-day , and it is arranged that the fiemnrrer will be argued to-nmrrow . Our readers are a ^ aie of the point to be argceG : it is -whetber : ihe ; witnesses on ¦ whose evidence * the Grand Jury fonna the Bill of Indictment should hare been swem in open Conrt , or brfore the Grand Jory . * ' This point is raised on tke 1 st and 2 d Yict , e . 37 , previous to -which act all "witnesses in Bills of Indictment -WBT 3 sworn in open Conrt ^ nnder the 56 tb-Creo HI , c . S 7-
** The Act of Victoria , however , Tecites that the practice of ftreaxicg ¦ witnesses in opes Court caused delay and other inconveniences , and then gOCS OQ 'to enact as follows : — * It i » therefore enacted thai in all cases -where bills of indictment we to be laid before Grand Juries in Irelead , for theii consideration , the Clerk of the Crotcn at Hie Assizes , and the Cleri ofthePeaceat _ Quarter Sessions or hit or their deputy , shall endorse npon the back of each bill of indictment the name or names of the -witness or iwitaessesfor the crown in support of such bill , and Bend the same so endorsed to the Grand Jury ; and the foreman , > or other member of the Grand Jury , twelve membera of the QnzA Jury being there at the tim « . shall , previous to the examination of any -aitness -whose name shall appear endorsed , administer to such witness ihe oath or solemn afiirmation required to be taken by auchTntness . *
" If ow , it will be psrefcived that no mention -whatever is made , in the above clause , of the Court of Queen ' s JBexch ; and this omission , it is argued by the Counsel for tha Traversers , is fatal to tke Bfflcf Indictment , because the -witnesses should have been sworn in epen Court , as prodded by the 55 th Geo . III ., c 87—the subsequent Act of Victoria m&fctng no allusion whatever to the Q-aeen ' s Bench . " Should the Court decide -with the Traversers , the Indictment will thereby be quashed , and the -whole proceedings rendered null and Tt > id—if , however , tfce -decision , be in favour of the Crown , then the Tra-Tersers -will have to plead to the Indictment forth-¦ wx th : but "we understand that they have other motions 3 n reserve .

THE ATIOaSET-CBNERAL . We really are sorry to learn that the health -of Mr . Attorney-General Smith is giving way under tbe « eveie labour and great mental anxiety consequent en the Sate prosecutio ns . Yesterday be was so unwell that leeches were applied to his temples , ani bis friends feel much anxiety respecting his health . Mr . Smith has many good points abeut him . fie made his way to distinction in his profession by bis own unaided industry and ability , and xft cannot forget that his very first act as Attorney General was an act of leniency towards tbe press ; nor has he , even in tbe present prosecutions , singled the press out for separate prosecution , as Biackburne undoubtedly would have done .

Men begin to ask each other—men disposed to give every support to the administration of Sir Robert Peel , and to tbe Executive at the head of which is Lord de Grey—ia Government s * rions in ita prosecntion of Mr .

Nay , some there be who go the length of doubting whether—supposing a conviction to be tbe result of a trial—a duckling and nnworthy compromise may not follow . ; These are rtaii ^ erous and damaging questions—these are serious and awful doubts ; and the state of feeling which induces the one , or generates the other , is ruinous to the G-ivrrnmtDt , and may prove fatal to the conntry- — Dublin iiaiU
THE PREPABATIOSS . Her Majesty ' s steam-i-hip Volcano has arrived in Kingstown harbour , having on board 600 cases of ball cartrii ge and two lisbt field pieces , with suitable ammunition . They will be deposited is the ordnance stores . The most formidable preparations whica have yet met the eye are to be seen at Richmond Barracks , situate on the south side of the city , a little bejond KUmainham , -which are being put in a state of the most complete fortification , with portholes , loopholes , em . brasurts , bresatworks . and all the other works deemed
requisite by \ qb scienc 3 cf war for successfully Tesisting ihe attacks of an enemy . Prevention Is no doubt better than care ? but really , after the experience of some few -wet-ks , and -when it was ma £ e as clear as noonday that tbe ntere ordinary powera of the law , if only asserted with dignity and firmness , were qitte sufficient to repress any overt act of sedition , whether made manifest at monster meetings , or within the naked -wails of the Conciliation Hall , these very imposing " preparations "" seem at best but ea ' cnlated to excite alarm and distrust smeng tbe well-affected portion of her Majesty ' s Irish subjects . —Times .

THE S 1 GSAI . FIRES . The Drogheda Const , vjtive thus notices the spread of the signal fires i the north : — " Our Ba ! Iyjamesduff correspondent informs ui that the Protestonu of that nt > i $ b . bourcood were alarmed by the appealance of r- ^ mi files on too currouodiBg bills , &s fai as thet-ye could discern . The ProleaWita of tbe town , denning these signals as only a prelude to a general attack , assembled and prepared their fire arms , whilst these in the country barricaded their houses , prepared ammunition , determined to act as their forefathers did . Now , we ask , what were the police or the authorities about , who did not immediately proceed to those fires and scatter the rebel symbols to the wind ? We would impress on tbe Protestants to be firm , be prepared , but not raab—the poor deluded creatures who thus act are oDly the tools of more cautious but designing rebels ; and are therefore more to be pitied than otherwise .

In Cork , according to tbe Constitution : — " Fires were again lighted in several parts of the connty on Thursday night .

profotmdest respect , and the most dutiful acquiescence the resolutions adopted at tbe meeting of oar venerated Archbishops and Bishops—the sacred and venerated hierarchy of the Catholic church in Ireland ; these Most Rev . and Very Rev . Prelates possess oot entire veneration , respect , and Christian submission to their apostolic authority . Resolved—That the Catholic laity of Ireland hold in the utmost abhoirence any attempt to klaence our venerated clergy by tendering to them the filthy mammon of this world—that laity will universally support an-J uphold them on their rejection of any species of state provision—firmly convinced as they are that tbe controul of the church by the state is calculated only to degrade and contaminate the sacred office of religion , to diminish the utility of tbe clergy , and to introduce hirelings into the place of the sainted pastors of faithful flocks .
" Resolved—That the Catholic laity sf Ireland , who never deserted their venerated clergy , even ia the mldat cf pains , penalties confiscations , and death , gratefally acknowledge that their clergy ( although against them persecution mest Vehemently raged ) never deserted their faithful followers ; and they are convinced that all the bribes of England could not pur . chase off one single Catholic clergyman from ' tbe people throughout this entire isle . " * With respect to the Catholic clergy of Ireland ( continued Mr . O'Connell ) , this was emphatically the time to
speak out—they bad chosen the period , and hud spoken out manfully . They had declared their intention of refusing any Government allowance : that which people refused least was a monied provision , but they would not have any of it ( Cheers . ) What had religion to do with the mammon of the world ? What connexion in Boly Writ , and the traditions of the Fathers , bttweea mammon and religion ? Tea , there Was a . connexion , but it was tfee connexion of antagonism—the opposition of one to the other—the warning voice never to be stained by the foul lucre of gain . ( Hear , hear , and loud cheers , ' .
Mr . O'Connell having been called upon , left the association , and proceeded to the Court of Queen ' s Bench , where his presence was required . The amount : of Repeal Rent was announced as £ 932 13 s . 64

Tbe condition of Miss Vert ker . though not without hope , is still very precarious and critical ; and , though favourable symptoms bavo shown vhemaelves , cannot be yet said to have regained her coddcIousuess or sensibility .

Attorneiy-General—The Clerk of the Crown will add a simtliler . I myself state it are tenus , aud join issue on those pleas , and the Clerk of tho Crown will take it down from me . The Attorney General again rose after a short pause and said—I know an objection might probably be made if I applied to the court without notice to the traversers to fix a day for the trial . Notice will will bo served on each of the travelers in the course of this day for Friday , when il will apply for a trial at ba , r in this ] court . I cannot now make that motion , aa I know , they would object to its not being on notice . i Chief Justice—I think you mentioned applying for a trial at bar . i Attorney-General—Yes , my Lord , notice of the motion will be served on Friday , and I will , on that day , move for a trial at bar to be fixed for some day in the next vacation . I
Chief Justice—Do you move anything else . Mr . Attorney-General ? I Attorney-General—No , my Lord . Chisf Justice—Do you , Mr . Hatohell ! Mr . Hatchell—No , my Lord . Mr . O'Connell and the other traversers then left the Court , followed by ! ihe majority of tho persons present . \ From the Freeman ' s Journal vre leara that notice" has been duly served on the defendants ; and that the 11 th of Dsceember ia the day the Attorney-General will move for , the commencement of the trial ; and that the period from that date to the 10 th o * f January should be set apart for the purpose , and j hoJden to be a part of the " Term .

JLekds Cors Market , Tuesday , Nov . 21 . —The arrival of Wheat to this day'a market has been smaller , Barley and Beans larger . Tho demand for Wheat not quite as brisk aa last week , very little alteration in prices . Barlsy has been heavy sale ; the finest qualities rather lower , other descriptions Is . per quarter lower . Oats and Beans no
alteration . Bradford Markets , Thursday , November 23 . — Wool . —There is hardly so much animauon in thia trade as a few weeks past , and buyers are timid to operate at the present hi « h prices . Yarn . —Yarns remain without any alteration in demand or prices . Piece—The demand for goods has not been very extensive ; indeed , the weather has been such as Ui deter the raercnams from attending , and may in some measure account for the slackening . Prioes are firm .
State of Trade—Owing to the period of the year , and perhaps , in sorae degree aiso , to the on * favourable state of the weather , the market yesterday was dull , especially for yarn , wliich iaat present in very lnnite _ d demand , and genfral ' y declining is price . This is particularly the case ia those qualities usually taken by the German buyers , who have been for some time past very inactive ; but the higher numbers of mule yarn hava been io some rcqsest for the Iadian market ? , and have fully
maintained their price . In goods there was little change to notice- —the demaud being generally limitedf except for low shirtiu * s aud priming cloth ( which last is somewhat influenced by the proapeot of » general turn-out of weavers at Ashton-under-Lyne ) We are glad to learn that there is , at present , * very extensive demand for grey mousselines i 9 laine , which have now almost supplanted the hand * lo « m calicoes formerly manufactured in the neigh * bourhood of Colne , and are become , when printeu * a very important article of export to Germany aod the United States , a 3 well of domestic consumption
