      TEE STATE TRIALS . —QUEEN'S BENCH . Dublin , Not . 9 . Ur- Jnstlea Crampton sat this morning , at half-past ten o'docfc , to i «^ r motions of coarse . He rose shortly after eleven o'clock tc > meet the other Judges In a Court of Error , -where their Lordthips TFere occupied until $ obi o ' clock- " In consequence of an intimation from the Attorney-Cr £ Esral at the rising of tbe Court yesterday evening tfcst it -was his inteirtioB to send tip a fresh bill of in-< Bctment to Sie G ? and Jury against four of the parties implicated , and the Jury having been directed to

      Jje in attendance this morning , the Court and Hall Trere much crowded throughout the day by j > ersons anxiously desirous of -ascertaining the nature of the charges laid in thB new iDdictmtjot , the names of the pixries charged , and -whether the jury , who were closeted all day , -would find the bill Jt was net until tbis hour ( quarter-past feur o ' clock ) , and after the Jury had retired , that I ascertained that the indic ' ment had rot been s&nt up , and that the Jury h : d been occupied all day 'with fiscal business . The nature of the indictment fr » " not transpired . A rumour prevailed in fte hall that it is for high treason , founded on the information of- " traitors from the Repeal camp . " O : hers State as confidently that it is for misdemeanour only .

      At half-part four o ' clock the Jua ^ es eniered the Court 21 r . Henn , Q- C-, then rose and said , he had to apply to the Conrt on behalf of Daniel O "Council , one of thB taaverseTS , for liberty to compare his copy of the indictment yn \ h ths orpnal bllL Ha moved en the affidavits of Mr ., Ford , 3 Jr . Cantwell , and Mr Pierce Mahony , solicitors for severil of the triversera Messrs . Ford and Csntwell staged that , in performance of their duties , they attended in the office of Mr . Walter 3 Journe , at thB hour of eleven o ' clock in the forencon of inis day , for the purpose of comparing a ccpy , of the Indictment f * und in this prosecution with the original , and asktd Mr . Bsicrae ircnld be allow the copy to be compared with the said indictment ? Whereu > an Mi .

      Bonnie slated thai it was at his private residence in Hsrconrt-s-treet , a-jd not in his ofiiie , and consequently It o-uld not be compartfd . Messrs . Ford and Cant well esll&d again , bnt ill . Boame told them he had it , but "would not aEoif It to fcs complied -wilh any of the copies , havlBg received directions not -to allow anything of the kind . Mr . F _ rth deposed that be then immediately addressed himself to Mr . K . ~ mjnis . Crown Solicitor , and asked him if he had given such directions oa the part of the Gtowe ? In reply , Mr . Krciisis ssid ho had given no snch directions . Deooneut further Eaith , that

      having conveyed to Mr- Bourne the reply of Sir . Kemmis , the former stated tfest be would not _ allow any of them to be compared without an order from the Court for that purpose . Mr . Henn continued to ray , it is essentially necessary that before we plead we afaonia ascertain , beyond all doubt , that the copy we received is a -true and correct copy of the original Indictment ^ for should it turn out that there was a material Tariacce bttween tbese copies famished to Tas and the till of indicrnABt , our demurrer would be ruled , not according to the copy furnished to us , but iy tie record of the Court . Tne Attcxnej-General here entered the court , and

      Tee Chief-Justice informed him that an " apDlicstion bsd been made npon behalf of Mr . OC until-to have one of the copies of thB indictment compared with the the origisaL The Attasney-eensjal—I apprehend , my lord , that Ihe copies served hy tiw d = zk of the Crotra -were properly certified ; tkere ? o-e , -if that is the case , I do not ' eel that there is scything ont of the ordinary course to be done in Uub case , more than in arjy other .

      Ht Whiteside caEteadea , that the traversers were all legally entitled to have copies compared . Alteration * had already be ^ a made in ihe indictment , and it ^ aa better for them to have correct copies of it , than to _ get a ¦ wrong one , which -wonid cause mistakes , and protract the proceedings . If the officer certified thai the document ¦ was a copy , It difi not make it a true copy , and bis client had » xisht to have it compared . The Solidtor-G-aneral remarked , that a certified copy "was the same as a confirmed one , as it would not be -C 2 rBSed without compariEs ; it .

      The Chief-Justice—1 think there should be no objection to the present application , let one copy be therefore compared . The Attorney-General would not further object j bnt be would call upon the Court to direct that nothing endorsed upon the back of the bill should be seen , as the traverses had so right to see the witnesses whose names -were sent to the -Jury . They might compare one copy with the clerk of Hie Cro-sra , hot they had not a light even to Vote's ¦> the Indictment Wt . Hfcaa did . sot wast to do mare Yfrw -have bis client's copy legally compared in the ordinary manner ; hut he submitted that the role to plead should inn from the time the comparison was made .

      The Chief Justice—This part of your application , Mr . Ham , Ii ihs surgect of anpthermotion , and a motion on notice , which should be given to the Attorney-Gsneral before you bring the matter befere the Court . The origitr . 1 application was to have furnished copies compared , and yen have got it Ht . MDunough then applied in the case of the " Qa » en against Dini 3 O'Counell , " that his client , the traverser , should be famished with a copy aA the caption of the indictment , -which was not furnished , as it should have been , by the Crown solicitor .

      The A'tcmey-GrBeral said , there was a short answer to the application made by Mr . M'Donough—it was a motion "without notice . Ths opposite side might serve notice of tills motion if t ± xey-pleased , and "rtjen they CSiEr to nsake it before their lordships , he ilhe Attorney- General ) would oppose it . The matter at present atooa as follows : —The Crown yesterday was entitled to have a rule to plend entered . The Court , if it pleased , conlu extend the time to plead upen cause Aewn ; and if . iir . il-Donough wished to come forward with a motion for sn extension of the time to pl&ad , ea the ground of his not having received a copy of the caption of the indictment , it was competent for _ him to do so , and serve notice of that motion , which he ( the Attorney-General ) would oppose as he had already Btattd , > lr . 31 'Danongh observed , that was not his present motion .

      Tire Attomey-Gsneral said they did not know what iis motion -was . Mr . M-Donongh—So it appesrs . ( A laugh . ) Ti . e Attorney-General—I "have already said that if you glvs notice of your motion , I will oppose it ; ai : d uctil yon comply with that clear rule of this Court , their lordship ~ will not entertain your application . The Crmrt decided that notice mnst be given . 31 r- Whitcside aiked to be allowed to give notice for to-m . » rrctp jnominj . The Attorney objected , be would wish to see the notice . Mr . M 'D >* ioudi— Our notice of motion is simply

      this—The Chief Justice—We have already heard Mr . Henn , "Mr . Whiteside , and you . Not twice , if you please . According to the ordinary rules of Court , notice of m-t 5 on rauBt be served . That rule is more appli-« ible in cases where counsel says " I require notice , in order that I may decide whether I will oppose the motion or not . " In the present case , we cannot go ont of the common course of Court , and therefore let there le notice of this motion—a two-day rule . * The Court then adjourned until to-morrow , at halfpast tss o'clock . Dablin , Nov . 10 .

      The Court of Qaeen ' s Bench wss again this day the grand locos o ! attraction , it being ; Ihe general expectation , as was intimated on the previous day by the Attorney-General , that fresh bills of indictment would be sent "before Use Grand Jury against some of the parties ¦ who already stand charged before the Court on other accusations . It was understood that the new bills charged Messrs . Daniel O'Cennell , Thomas Steels , J . JL Kay , and Dz . Gray , with attending an unlawful assembly—namely , the Repeal Association ; and it was surmised that the question of the legality or illegality of that tody would thus have been brought to an issue-It was only natural then that the greatest anxiety

      should have prevailed as to the fate of the new mils . XumeuT had it that thsy charged the parties with treason ; that Bundry letters had been abstracted from Secretary Bay ' s bureau at the Com-Exchanget and upon these documents it was alleged the billshad been framed —these , with other iursiises , met ready belief . JNo bills , however , were sent up , and it transpired early in the forenoon , and out of Court , that the intention of further proceedings -upon them had Been abandoned for de present . It is somewhat strange that-even the -&J > eSls lor the accused parties -were in profound ig-HoMnee © f this decision uo to three o ' clock this aftersoon .

      tthe following conciadicg remarks upon the subject are taken from the Evening Hail ¦ — " " We caano ' . avoid expresatg our dissatisfaction at tha conrse , not with respect to the prudence of the Attorney-General in not sending up tbese bills-, for we take it for granted that he has sound reasons for his decunon ; but at tt 9 singular want of discretion which could have induced him to make-at such a crisis as this , and under nach momentous dreumstances , the Bolemn declaration or a * intention wMchhTwas S prepared to carry out Anything like vacillation now , aa , step evincing a want o ! determination , may hi latal to hinsself ^ his ^ career , and the country . A move in retrograde wffl be claimed by his opponent u I "Tictory , and such a display of indecision in tactics is aot calculated to impart courage to hia friends .-

      At four o ' clock the Court adjourned . Nothing cona&eted wiSi the Jiate prosecutions came publicly btfore it ; but the three attorneys for the defendants , Messrs . Mahony , Gf&rtland , and CantweH , swore affidavits before the Clerk of the Crown , the nature of which did not taaspire . They lrere , it ia believed , intended as a ground for as application to the Court for an extension beyond Monday of the time allowed the parties to plead or demur to the indictment Several of the parties against 'whom bills have been already found remained tin ths last moment anxiously -waiting in the vicinity of the grand jury room up to the adjournment of the Court , in the hope ascertaining the Ttfmwat of the newly indicted , or some circumstance toe of the

      ^ onnecteawiUi proceedings jury , who even at Bat hoar'were unaware of the alteration in the Attorney Gisnez&Ti Tiewi Trith respect to the " further

      \ The MorrAng Chronicle and SbVeral ovhtr : papers an-; nounceu that the New Bills had been abandoned . *' Bat the Dublin Monitor of Monday , ( a usually well-informed paper ) denies this , and sayB that the Bills will yet ' , be preferred . After giving the pith of the above pro-; ceedings , the Monitor says— "Itis still , however , their ; intention to prefer the Bills ; and the parties named , against whom this proceeding iB to be directed , are Mr . O Connell , Mr . Steele , Dr . Gray , and Mr . Ray , who are to be indicted as members of an illegal Association , and thu- the question of the legality of the Repeal Assorfation is to be tried .

      It wag supposed th&t the Bills in question would charge the parties wilh High Treason , but this we belitve erroneons . In like manner , both the Mail and tha Post say Oat the Biils are abandoned—that the Crown Officers , ^ fter consultation , considered it advisable to retrace their steps ; but this , we have reason to believe , is not correct " Dublin , If ov . 11 . Mr . Justice Crampton was engaged in hearing short motions this morning until 11 o ' clock , at which hour the Attorney-General , the Solicitor-General , Messrs WhUesWe , Queen ' s Counsel , Hatchell , Queen ' s Counsel , and M Hjnough , Queen ' s Counsel , entered the court . The attornies of Messrs . OConnell , Duffy , and others of th < - traversers were also in attendance , tnd swore

      BOBie affidavits , the nature of which did not transpire . The court was densely crowded by members of the bar and by the public wherever admitted . Mr . T . Steele aiid the Rev . Mr . Tyrrell ocenpied seats under the jury gallery , dose to the celebrated Sam Gray , who was bron 4 ht up in custody of the gaoler of Kilmainham to receive judgment Mr . SMel , M . P ., on en ' . er fng , was warmly greeteu by Mi . Steele , To the evident disappointment of every one , his lordship rose and gave the u&ual announcement , so dreaded by all lately , that be had to meet the other Judges in error in the case of the c&nvicts Noonan and Hoolahan , which has ocenpied them for several days back from eleven to three o ' clock , compk'tely checking the progress of business in all the four court * .

      Jadge Burton , however , took his seat to-day at half past one o ' clock , and was followed Bhortly after by tbo Chief Justice and Judges Crampton and Pgrrin . Sir T . Staples , Queen's Counsel , informed their lordships that , pursuant to order , Samuel Gray was brought np before them , and he ( Sir T . Staples / now prayed the judgment on behalf of the Crown . Mr . Whiteside , Qnecu ' a Counsel , begged their lordships not to proceed in the matter that day , as the very important motion of the Queen asainst Charles Gavin I * -12 ^* proprietor of the lia tion , " would otherwise be delayed , he ( Mr . Whiteside ) and his colleague tMr . Napier ; hting prepared with long legal arguments in behalf of their clitnt iGray ) . The Chief Justice did not think they could Bet the order aside , but referred to The Attorney-General , who said it was important that themoiisn of " Toe Qaeen against Daffy" should be disposed of that day .

      Mr . Whiteside then moved , with much force and length of argument , that a copy of the indictment , including the witnesses' names , and all the endorsements on the hack of the original , should be d » -JiVfre < 1 to his client , Mr . C . G . Duffy , proprietor of the Xation . The lairneil Counsel quoted many authorities to support his view of the case , which was to tho effect that a copy of the indictme .-t meant not only a duplicate of the subjectmatter of the original , but also of the endorsements of the same . He contended , from 1 st Carringt « n and Payne , p . 85 , and several other reports , that there w&s intrinsic evidence to shew that in Eng ' and the practice was to give copies of the endorsements .

      The Attoroey-iJeneral opposed the application , but on the ground that be had received two different notievs of the motion ( which otjection , however , was met by the withdrawal of one of them ) , as well as on the merits . He asserted that the practice of giving witntSMs nvines was unknown in Ireland , and for Use truth of that assertion would only refer to thtir lordsLipj . ' experience . Hi would shew thut in England it ¦ was equally unknown , and referred to a very recent case rep-rted in the Jurist for 1842 , in the matter of the ' Q- ^ een v . Gordon , " wherciu Mr . Juttice Pattison had stated that such an application was unprecedented . Mr . Justice Perrin thonght that case referred merely to the aiMnssea and residences of the witnesses .

      The Attorney-General read the passage , which mentioned that ' the namestvnd residences '" of the witnesses were applied for , and proceeded to support his opposition at considerable length , expressing his belief that the application was merely to get lima Mr . Whiteside , with all respoct to the Attorney-Gincral , wonld say he had no right to observe on what was 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 attnaed to the diversity in the notices , manifestly , in his opinion , served for the purpose of creating fielsy , and concluded by formally opposing the motion .

      Mr . O'Hagan then addressed the Court , and was replied to by the Solicitor-General The Loni Chief Justice / having conferred for a few minutes with his brother judges ) said the court were unaniaionsly of opinion that the application of the traVcrser c ^ uldnot be granted . It was one not grounded cpon any particular statute or state of facts routine a jrculiai case , which entitled Mr . Charles Gavan Duff ; id his particnlar person to have an order , which he ( to have ii enmtad ) sbenld induce the conrt to believe was attBoluitrj necessary fer forwarding the ends cf justice , and to defend himself against the charges made ugain&t him . Ha has made out no particular casa , nor stated any particular facts ; but he comes in and desaaods the n-unes of toe witnesses sent upon the back of the

      indictrntDt to the grand jury as a matter of right , which bill of indictment was found to be a t » ue oue against him . It was very extraordinary that if the application ¦ was on = ej debito jvstitin . that the I ^ arced Counsel for the applicant could not produce a single authority to support the motion , point out a single instance in which the practice wa » as stated , or even show where the same rule bad been applied for . It was , therefore , a motion altogether unprecedented ; and being without precedent , and the practice being reported by the officer of the Conrt to be diametrically opposed to the application , without going further into that part of the question , tLs Court were clearly -uf opinion that they had safficient grounds to refuse the motion , unless the pirty makiDg it could demonstrate that he was entitled to it as a matter of right .

      Mr . Justice Penin expressed his concurrence with the Chief Justice in refusing the application .

      JllE < iVEES V . THE REV . MR . TTRRELL . Mr- M'Donoush , Q C , next roBe to move that the copy of the indictment furnished to his client be amended by Laving the " caption" attached to it . He mos-ed on an affidaTit , which set forti that this material portion of the Bill of Indictment -was necessary for the defence , and that it was not sought for the purpose of causing delay . The learned counsel spoke at considerable length in snpport of his application , and in the conrse of his elcqnent address cited a varie'y of cases which appeared to fee strictly applicable to the present case . The Attorney-General rose to oppose the motion . He said the defendants were furnished with a copy of the indictment as it was banded down by the Grand Jury , and that was all the Act of Parliament required . He contended the caption was no part of the indictment The Bight Hon . Gentleman concluded his speech in reply at a quarter past five o'clock .

      Sir Coleman O'loughlin rose and asked whether the Solicitor-General "wished to speak on the motion . If he did , * V » 'g Was ills time , and not in reply to the second counsel tor the traverser . The Salicitor-Genersi said he had the right to

      reply . A discussion ensned between the counsel on both sides and the Bench on the point of practice , the Crown lawyers contending for the right to reply . Sir Coleman O'longhlin was then proceeding to speak , when Mr . M-Donough said , with much naivete , my lord , as this is a constitutional question , and this evening is far advanced , we had better adjourn the further discussion —( laughter ) . The Bench agreed , and the Court ajourned at halfpast five o ' clock . The further arguments to be heard en Monday morning . Dablin , Nov . 13 . ' At eleven o ' clock this morning the Chief Justice entered tie court , and was quickly followed by bat learned brethren .

      THE < JUEBS V . THS BET . P . 3 . ITEBELL . T £ e argusnents on the motion which was made on Saturday , on the part of the defendant , for a copy of the caption of the indictment , were resumed by Sir Colaman O'Logblen , who contended , in support of the application , that the law required that the caption should be made out , not as the Attorney-General argued , when the record was made up , but in point of law it ought to be made out as soon as the indictment was found . He contended that the officer of the court was bound to make it up when the indictment was found . He admitted that it was not the practice to do so ; nevertheless , according to law * it ought to be done . In cases of treason , the practice was to give a copy of the caption of the indictment to the prisoner , along with the indictment itself ; and in these cases it was clear that it must be made up when the indictment is found . In Johnson ' s case , 6 East ., page 583 , their lordships would find the copy of the caption prefixed

      to the indictment ; that , in point of law , the officer was bound to get the caption made up along with the indictment was clearly inferrable from this , th&t in order to obtain a copy of it , it must fee required by the defendant before plea pleaded . The learned Connsel referred to Forter , 230 , the King * . Cooke , State TrialB , 338 , in support of these propositions . He then proceeded to remark that the indictxuent might be quashed if any defect appeared in the CSP * Sa PPose , for instance , that the indictment wm found by a lea number than twelve of ihe Grand Jury , the indictment could be quashed . If the officer neglected to make up the caption , the court could Jf « « £ ? to compel him to do so ; and it was to sr sfis-asjs s ° , s * ss - > - fSJS STUKtW . 'Sl £ % issued for Sat parpese . by & superior court to the officer ,

      The Solicits-General replied on bAalf of the Crown . He contended that tho caption was no part of the indictment , and , consequently , the defendant in this case was not entitled to a copy of it He cited Andrew's Criminal law , and a decision of Lord Mansfield to show that the caption was no part of the indictment , but merely a copy of the sfyla of the court at which the indictment was 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 in force in England as well as Ireland , the practice had never been extended to cases of misdemeanour . The peculiar practice of the Court of Queen ' s Bench Bhowed that a marked distinction existed in its practice in cases of high treason and other cases . The court adjourned for a few minutes . After being twenty minutes in consultation , their lordships again returned into court .

      The Chief Justice , Judge Burton , and Judge Crawpton , severally delivered judgment against the application , and at great length . Mr . Justice Perrin delivered his judgment also at considerable length . The learned judge differed with the rfcBt of the Bench , being of opinion that the application should be granted .

      MOTION FOB A LIST OF CROWN WITNESSES . Mr . Whitsside , Queen ' s Counsel , said that in the ca * e of " ¦ the Queen v . Duffy" he had made application on Saturday for a return of the names of the witn-Bses endorsed on the indictment , which had been refused by the Court on the gronnd that there ww no precedent for granting such an application . Since then , he had found a vase which went directly to sustain the right of the defendant to the list which he claimed . The case he alSnded to was " the King v . Eurton , " cited in the casa of " the King v . Dr . Parnell , " in Sir "William Blackatone ' s Rtports , first volume , page 36 , where the Lord Chief Ju 6 tice of the King ' s Bench gave it as his opinion , that the prisoner was entitled , as a matter of course , to a copy of the endorsement on the back ef the indictment He would beg leave to band up the case to their lordshipB , and call upon them , in accordance with that high authority , to direct their officer to furnish the defendant with a list of their accusers .

      The Attorney-General said , that their lordships had already decided on the two motions brought forward on behalf of Sit . WhiteBide ' s 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 granting of a list at the names of witnesses is mentioned as a matter of course . Mr . Justice Crampton . —But the objection here is , that you are taking the Crown by surprise . Mr . Whiteside . —Tho Crown have nothing to do with it ( A laugh . ) 1 would not ask a favour from the Crown , because if I did , I know they would not grant it ( Laughter . ) All I want is , that the Court Bhould direct the officer of the court to do that which , according to the dicium of the Chief Ju 3 tico of England , is a matter of course . Mr . Justice Crampton . —You must give notice to the Attorney-General .

      Mr . Whitwnde . —I did not know it was in his power to grant my application . Mr Justice Ciauipton . —Yeu are not at all mistaken there ; it is not iu his power to grant it , nevertheless you mast give notice . The A tturney-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 upun any of them ! Mr . Fitzjibbon , Queen ' s CounBel , said they had Bent for Mr . iloore , who was to move the next motion . Tae Chief Juslice—Very well ; but certainly the Court will not allow a motion similar to those motions already refused : to be now brought forward under another name . Mr . Fitz ^ ibbon said that the motion was different from those which preceded it

      The Chief Justice—If called oa to give my opinion I should say that the two last motions should have been moved at ony and the same time . Ht . Moore , Queen ' s Cuunsol , here entered the Court , and said that he bad been instructed to move an application consequent on the two motions which bad been argued btfore the Cuurt , but their lordships being of opinion that the defendants were not entitled either te a list of the witnesses on the back of the indictment or to a copy of the caption , he and the gentlemen with who ji he acted w « re of opinion that the ground on which they could sustain the correlative motion was taken from under their feet , and they should not therefore bring forward the third motion .

      UOTJO . V FOR A BILL OF PABTICULARS . Mr . Moore said , that in the same case of " the Queen r . Daniel O Connell , " there v < m another notice uf motion served on Saturday , which should come on to-morrow at farthest ( as that was the last day foi 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 the charges in the indictment The Chief Justice said that they had made an arrangement to be&r further argument to-morrow , en a demurrer which lay over , and then go into the case of " the Queen v . Samuel Gray . " The C « urt would consider whether thuy should give the priority of hearing to Samuel Gray ' s case or to Mr . Moore's mutton . 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 bring tae motion on . Mr . Justice crajifto : * , at the very rising of the Court , said they had looked into the case banded up by Mr . Whiteside , and it appeared to be a caBe letiioved by certiorari to the King ' s Buach , 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 . The Court then adjourned .

      THE PROSECUTIONS . —IUM 0 UBS OF TUE BAY . The Cork Reporter say * : — " We learn . that the Dames of a number of highly respectable and influential persons—n * t Ropealersresidents of the city and county of Cork , including those of the Mayor and Sir Octavius Carey , the Goneral commanding the district , were this day forwarded to Dablin , with a view to these gentlemen being examined for the defence on the pending state trials , whenever those trials take place . " The correspondent of the Chronicle says : —

      " According ; to the information which has reached me , the traversers are to file a special demurrer , in the form of a plea of abatement , on the gvound of informalities in the indictment ; bat a demurrer of this kind will be 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 the mean time . Until these are decided , no period can be fixed for the trial . " I have learned that some English Members of Parliament , who , whilst making a tour in Ireland during the autumn , were present at some of the county Repeal demonstrations , are to be summoned as witnesses for the defence , to shew that nothing whatever in the shape of intimidation existed . " The correspondent of the Times says : —

      " It is currently reported , on the part of the defence , that one of the traversers has no fewer than 30 , « 00 ¦ witnesses to bring forward ; and by way of further procrastinating the proceedings . It la said that t ; en notices for bills of particulars have been served , one for each traverser respectively , upon which the arguments ralBed upon the right of each of them -will , as a mattei of necessity , have to be answered by the counsel for the Crown .

      THE REPEAL BENT . The following appears in the Carlow Sentinel , a Tory paper : — " The Derrynane Property . —It is a fact very little known that Mr . O'Connell has succeeded in saving his property from the hammer , by paying off some very heavy encumbrances by the fruits of this year ' s agitation , and he has also been enabled to pay the renewal fines dne to Trinity College , for the perpetuity of his lease , and now having renewed the lease , and stopped the mouths of the creditors , he is preaching peace , &nd would even accept a federal parliament " The Times Correspondent says : — " It is stated , that on Saturday last , £ 3 , 000 worth of the stock in which the Kepeal rent has been invested , was sold out to furnish the sinews of delay .

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 , bat , no doubt , something political is intended . "

      10 RD HAWARDES ' S PROSECUTION . As Boon as the Court of Queen's Bench shall have time to devote to any other case but the state prosecutions , Mr . Shell is to show cause against the conditional rale for a criminal information , obtained by lord Hawarden against Mr . Daffy , proprietor of the Nalim . This prosecution , as you are aware , has been instituted by lord Hawarden in consequence of the publication of letters of the late Rev . Mr . Davern , a Roman Catholis clergyman , -who officiated aa 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 the Kalian , undertook the whole responsibility , and offered to defend his statements by evidence . It was the general belief that the action as against the Nation had been abandonded ; but at the commencement of this term , Mr Davera having died in the mean time , the proceedings were continued against that journal . Mr . Sbiel's motion to set aside the co ditional rule will be founded upon affidavits bom no Jesa than

      eighty-three persons , who , if the order should be made absolute , are to be examined at the trial . Several of those persons have been tenants on the Hawarden estates , and amongst the number are some extensive landholders in the neighbourhood , and Borne Roman Catholic Clergymen . In the event of a trial Mr . Duffy is to put in a plea of justification , which he will be enabled : to do under the new libel law . This case , especially in consequence of the issuing of the Irish landlord and tenant commission , excites the deepest interest

O Ferrajl , but that ^ entlemin could not aerve owing to bad health . He ( M * * - O'Conneli ) wa 3 ready to be examined , and he now moved that it was the opinion of the Association that every assistance be given to this commission . Mr . J . O'CONNELLi having seconded the mou ' on , it was agreed to . 1 Mr . Q'Connell next alluded to a proposition from one of the leading organs of the Government for pensioning the Ritnan Catholic clergy of Ireland at ' tbe expense of £ <> eo , ooo ] a year . It would require an additional sum of £ 400 , 000 to render the amount sufficient for its oVject , 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 Popish priests who were asking for nothing , particularly when be had plenty of people asking for something to satisfy—( hear ) . The paper he alluded to paid tne Catholic clergy the compliment of saying that 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 be ( 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 globe , and a house situated within eaeli parish , should be handed down from one pastor to another . Having again stated tfeat tbe Roman Catholic cle . gy of Ireland would never consent to a state provision , Mr . O'Connell read the following letter from Mr . Sturge , whiea will explain itself : — i

      11 TO J . II . RAY , SECRETARY TO THE LOYAL NATIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION , DUBLIN . " I am this luoruiux favoured with thy letter of , the 9 th instant , containing a copy of tbe resolutions passed by your association , on tbe 30 th ultimo , and calling my attention particularly to tke fourth , in which I am requested to 8 p « cify what the questions are involving 1 the interests of the United Kingdom , exclusive of those which come within the range of the Royal prerogative . ' " Before giving a reply , I would respectfully submit that the advocates of Repeal should clearly define who is to advise the Sovereign in the exercise of that power . ! ¦

      " You contend that the prerogative of the Crown includes within 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 uf tbe British Const tution that ' the Sovereign can do no wrong , ' tbe . vliniutars of the Crown , who are controlled by a m ; ijonty of the Housd of Commons , give or refuse the R Jyal assent to what measures thuy think fit ; and it is held by many tru .- friends of Ireland that as long as : we are one kingdom there must be some one body to j whom the Ministers of the Crown are responsible , and jtaac this body should ba the representatives of the whole nation .

      " If all who desire equal justice to Ireland agree upon great and well-dtfined principles , minor details will not , I trust , ftet-p them long separate ; and your full recognition of an equality of civil and religious rights is eminently calculated to remove tho prejudices of the honust-miuded , the fears of the timid , and to show to the world at large that you seek only impartial justice for all your fellow subjects . " Very respectfully , ; " Joseph Sturge . " " Birmingham , 11 th of 11 th Month . "

      Mr . O'Conhell said that he required an Irish Pjrlianaent only for Irish affairs , and that tbe persons in tbe administration of those affairs should have the confidence of that Parliament He intended that the control of the Irish Parliament should apply only to the employment of tbe j instruments of power in Ireland , leaving to thu British Parliament the general administration of the country and the selection of the Crown . i Amongst some sums of money handed in were £ 52 from Armagh and ; < £ lt ) G from Cork ( as proclamation money ) . ¦

      Mr . OConnell handed in £ 51 18 s . from Manchester , and £ 44 14 s . fi . ii from Carthisland , county of Kerry . Pie had seen in the newspapers an account of a Repeal Convention in New ! York , and he thought a gteat portion of the proceedings deserved their marked reprobation—( hear , hear ) , j They had a communication from that Convention ; bat as a matter of precaution he would move that nej communication from that Convention should be received until it was submitted to the committee for cousintration , as to ihe suitableness of presenting it to tile association , or returning it to America . } Mr . John O'Connell then rose to bring forward his plan for the fiscal arrangement between the two countries when the Repeal was carried , and placed tha following document before the meeting : — " Outlines of a proposed Financial arrangement behceen Great Britain ' and Ireland , a / ier the Repeal .

      " 1 . That the principle of the arrangement be that the revenues of Ireland be spent at home . " 2 . That the first charge upon her revenues be her debt , as it stands at present . . " 3 . That her contribution to the imperial active expenditure be 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 such other elements of comparison as may be agreed upon . : " i . That 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 deem&d expedient &t the time of the' Repeal that Ireland should be charged with any debt beyond what appeai a charged to her in the public accounts , such debt be transferred from the English to the Irish funds . *

      6 . That the variou 3 items of imperial expenditure be apportioned between the two countries in such a manner as to obviate all necessity for the revenues of one country being spent in the other . " 7 . That the control and management of the revenues of Ireland , subject to the foregoing rules , be with tbe Parliament of Ireland ; and that nothing herein contained be deemed or assumed to l imit the constitutional right 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 . 5 d . ( 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 . Gentleman has enjoyed almost uninterruptedly durfng his life , and that it has been recommended that he should take the benefit of a change of air , for which purpose he has removed to the country residence , within a few milea from this city , of bis son , Mr .

Although Lord Divon , the chairman , ia daily expected , it is Is doubtful whether the inquiries of the Commission will commence before January .

      LORD D 0 NOUGHM 0 RE—TITHES . As an example : of the generous and forbearing manner in which , certain Tory Landlords collect tithes —or , as they are I now called , " Rent Charge "—we subjoin tbe following from the Cork Reporter : — " 75 , South Mali , Cork , 8 th day of November , 1842 . " Sim , —I beg to apply to yon for the half-year ' s rent charge , amount £ due to the Earl of Donoughmore , on tbe 1 st of November inst ., out of the pariah of —|— . " Lord Donoughmore has given me peremptory orders to hand over to his law agents all accounts not paid within one month after gale-day , bo that no further application will be made by me . " I am ( sir , your obedient servant , I " James Hill . "

      This is exercising the functions of a Tithe Proctor with admirable fidelity . Lord Donoughmore is one of the persons who signed the celebrated Proclamation " to suppress and prevent" the Clontarf meeting . We cannot wonder , then , at his being very " peremptory" in his orders , or that a spice of the Proclamation should appear in his directions to his agents , And was it fer j this that , with desperate fidelity , the Irish people for long yeara waged tha Tithe war , and remained unshaken till their leaders betrayed them ? Itis tbe most disgraceful page in the history of Irish agitation ia that same base Titbe compromise ! —Dublin Monitor . I

      THE MARQUIS OF WaTERFORD Has addressed the' following letter to the gentlemen of the county of Tipperary : — I " Curraghmore , Nov . 8 . " Gentlemen , —I have deferred writing to you until some final arrangement as to hunting your county , had been made ; Mr . Millett has undertaken that office , and I now beg to thank you for the kind attention and support you have ] shown me during the period I resided amongst you ! . I think it right to state the causes which induced me to resign . You are all aware that in December , 1811 , my hounds were poisoned . I treated the matter with contempt In January , 1843 ,

      they were again poisoned . I discovered the offender and forgave him , but stated publicly that if a similar outrage were again committed I should give up hunting the county . In 1813 my stables were burnt , and but for the prompt conduct of my servants the whole establishment would have been consumed . From the threatening notices I 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 . I immediately determined to leave Tipperary , feeling that such a system of annoyance more than counterbalanced the pleasures or fox-hunting , for which alone I proposed to reside at Lakefield . .

      REPEAL ASSOCIATION . November 13 . Shortly after one o ' clock Mr . O'Connell entered the Conciliation-hall , which was much crowded , and having moved Mr . Stritch ( a barrister ) into the chair , read a letter from Mr . J . S . O'Brien , M . P . for Limerick , who , he said , went into Parliament an anti-Repealer , and , on the motion of the Hon . and Learned Gentleman , was admitted a member of the Association by acclamation . Mr . O'Brien enclosed £ 5 , and stated , " that in becoming a member of the association he was influenced by a desire te 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 m their struggle for national rights . " Mr . O'Connell intimated that Mr . Ray had a large quantity of ruled paper prepared for the various localities throughout Ireland that were to present petitions to Parliament praying for Repeal . There was one point to which he wished to call the attention of the association ; it was the fact that they looked for Repeal to peaceable means , and to peaceable means alone ( hear , hear ) . The principle of hi 3 political lite was , that the greatest political ameliorations in government and political institutions could be obtained only by peaceable means ( hear , hear ) . There was no instanoe of popular success by 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 struggle for Repeal , and he need not call upon any portion of the credulity of the publio to believe the truth of what he said , for he defied tho bitterest enemy to assert that th » y ever violated tho peace in agitaiing the Repeal ( hear , hear ) . No one presumed to make any such assertion ; in fact , the accusation against them was that they were too peaceable—( laughter)—and it was said that they must be very dangerous fellows because they kept quiet bo long—( laughter ) . But he perceived that their enemies were endeavouring to irritate the people in every direction . There wa 9 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 mind the perfect conviction , that the persons conducting that paper were exceedingly anxious for gome tumult or disturbance iu Ireland—( hear , hear ) . Ho had heard sinco he came into the room , that some man that bad been in America , was preaching sedition through the streets of Dublin yesterday , and that the police arrested him ; he hoped he was severely punished , for he was doubly criminal—first , because he uttered sedition ; and secondly , because he uttered that sedition at such a moment as the present . He ( Mr . O'Connell ) had now to read an address which he had prepared to the people of Ireland , and to move its adoption and circulation throughout Irelaud , and that a copy of it be sent to clergymen of

      every denomination . Ho wanted to work out his experiment to procure useful changes by peaceable means . He wanted to show to the world that by those meant ; he would succeed . What signified the prosecutions at present pending ! they might perhaps cause inconvenience to the parties prosecuted , but they could not affect the spirit of the entire nation—or the perseveranco 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 the people —( hear , hear , and cheers ) . He called upon the people not to gratify their enemies and mortify their friends by committing violencelet them do nothing to tarnish the beautiful , the noble , and sacred cause in which they were engaged — -the cause of the liberty of their country—( cheera ) . The Honourable Gentleman then read the address .

      " TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND . " Fellow Countrymen , —I never felt half the anxiety which I do at present to be distinctly understood ia the advice I give , and to have that advice implicitly obeyed . " Tile reason of this anxiety is , that if my advice be followed , tbe restoration of tbe Irish Parliament will assuredly be obtained—and obtained in a manner the moat 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 effect . I most respectfully solicit the Catholic clergy in every parish to enforce my advice by their counsel and their venerated authority .

      " My advice , then , 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 he tbe smallest riot , tumult , or violence ; no public meeting , unless it be caiied by public adv «; itisenient , sanctioned at least by some of the clergy ; and not even then , except for the sole purpose of petitioning tha Queen and the Parliament . I want the most perfect quiet , peace , and trauquility , until all tbese trials are over . No matter what the event of the prosecutions m : iy be , I am thoroughly convinced that ia any event they will tend to facilitate the obtaining of repeal , provided only that the people prewrve the condition of the most perfect quietude during those trials . It will be easy to preserve tranquillity after those trials shall—as they ought—have terminated successfully for the uDjustly accused , or however they may terminate .

      " Nothing could possibly Injure our cause before the court and jury half so much a s any occurrence of tumult , riot , or physical force of any kind whatsoever . " If anybody gives you advice contrary to mine , believe me that he is an enemy of mine and of yours . Arrest every such man , and bring him before the police . " Let there not be , I conjure you , the smallest disturbance . Any man who joins in any disturbance , I proclaim' to be my personal enemy . If you bo friends of mine , take my advice , and bo perfectly tranquil . I conjure you to tranquility , in the name of your country , i adjure you to be tranquil , in the name of the ever adorable and living Qjd . " Recollect that the principle upon which we have looked for the Repeal of tbo Union , is—that it can be obtained only by legal , peaceable , and constitutional means , and by the total absence of violence , force , and tumult .

      " Hecollect also that the principle of my political life , and that in which I have instructed the people of Ireland , is , that all the ameliorations and improvements in political institutions can be obtained by persevering in a perfectly peaceable and . legal course ; aud cannot be obtained by any forcible means ; or if they coutd 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 means is what we now have in progress . We have hitherto—blessed be God •—had all cur efforts marked by perfect peace and tranquillity . Let there be no deviation whatsaever from that peaceable and tranquil conduct I want that everybody should remain in peace and at home during the coming trials , and until after they ate completely over . He is an enemy who would violate this request of mine—if indeed anybody . should be found so vile as to violate is , which I do not believe .

      " I cannot conclude without once again adjuring the people everywhere not to be irritated , excited , or provoked by any event whatsoever , or of whatever nature that event may be ; but to continue calm , peaceable , tranquil , and loyal . And if this advice be fallowed , I anticipate , and I think I can promise , that the result of tbese trials will be eminently useful to the Repeal

      cause . " But—attend to me—if there be during the trials the slightest outbreak of violence in any parish , it will be my duty immediately to abandon the Repeal cause , and to forsuke a people who , at such a critical period as the present , would not follow the advico I so earnestly give them . " I however , have no fears that my counsel ¦ will be disobeyed . I confidently expect that the people will not iDjure my cause , and the cause of Ireland , by disregarding my atlvice . " Be there / ore ca / ni , quiet , tranquil , peaceful , loyal . Violate no law of man—obey with devout reverence tlie law of God . "You will thus mortify and disappoint your enemies . Those enemies speculate upon provoking you to some act of turbulence . ; Disappoint them—mortify them by the inflexible observance of quiet , of calmness , of peaceable and legal conduct

      " Follow my council , and you thereby will serve the cause , and gratify toe heart of " Your devoted friend , Daniel O'Connell . The Rev . Sir . Tyrrell ( one of the traversers ) , in seconding the motion , defended himself and the Repealers generally , from the imputation that while they preached peace they meant war . Such a thing it was impossible for Mr . O'Connell , as a Roman Catholic , to do ; or for him ( Mr . Tyrrell ; , as a Roman Catholic prieBt , to sanction—( hear ) . Motion agreed to .

      Mr . O'Connell then called attention to the subject of the commission appointed to inquire into the state of landed tenure in Ireland , referred to the attack of the Tory press on the late Mr . Drummond for his enunciation of the principle that property bad its duties as well as its right * , and asked how it was that the Government had become convinced of its justness and propriety ?—a question which he answered by assuring the association that the change of opinion on the subject was owing to the exertions of the Repealers , who had the consolation of having set the stagnant moss in motion , and given rise to tbe ptospect of a healthy irrigation . He wished everybody to give all possible ftssutauce to this commuBOn , although , aot very well
