IRELAND.
Mr. Shicl is regarded bv the Irishpeo-
ed in'd’viduals who were convie'-ed of the several persons besides my client have
;is the most eloquent advocate ot their
ratio! He is indeed an earnest impas
sioned aud leafless speaker, and ol his
intearitv and sincerity, there cannot exist
a doubt. Yet as to the wrongs and rights
ofchis country, he is notan unexception
able wif ss. The sense of persona
ury and' political exclusion, and the res
flats thrown over his religious immu
have so sliarmmed Ins feelings and
/•coloured his perceptions as to make his
ar unsafe testimony in the arduous strife
bet een Great Britain and Ireland. On
all utters, however, where his opinions
and jirteements are not influenced by pol
itics or reiigv>n, there cannot be a more
unimpeachable authority. Vvc reprint
from a speech addressed {on
,ngi.-i Clonmel, tl.c allowing powerful and
affecting passages :
Having said thus much with regard to
what I believe, however I may be mista
ken, to be the source of the evils by which
we are afflicted, I consider it my duty to
address to this immense assembly, com
posed of several thousands, and compre
hending a vast body of the peasantry,
some well-meant advice. You know the
to be an active, and I may add, an honest
member of your community; and you are
well aware tiiat in the course which I have
adopted, I have not displayed a mean and
pusillanimous spirit, but am as deeply
sensible as any mail of the wrongs which
are inflicted upon my country. What I
shall sav, therefore, in the shape ot strong
remonstrance and reproof, will I hope,
be taken in good part—(Loud Cheers.)—
Now I tell vou plainly and undisguisedlv,
that although I cons'dqr the government
to have adopted unavailing and inapplica
ble means for the restoration of tranquil
ity, yet that I loik upon the crimes com
mitted amongst you, not only as destitute
of any (even the least) palliation, but as
among the most disgraceful—(yet that
is a feeble word)—I should say the most
deserving of execration that stand in the
annals of atrociiy. Gracious God! what
have I not witnessed in the course of tiie
few days which the Assizes have occupied!
The recollection of what I have seen and
heard before the public tribunals, is
enough to make, the blood cold, and to
suspend the heart in its beatings. Well
might the excellent Judge say, with tears
in his eyes, that ho had not in the course
of his judicial'experience beheld so fright
ful a mass of enormities as the calendar
displayed. It was, indeed, a bloody mis-
cellancy of dreadful—I would rather say,
of infernal guilt. Look, for example, at
the murder of Sliens—(Loud cries of
hear, hear.)—1 iok at the midnight confla
gration of IS of your fellow creatures,
and tell me, is there any thing in the re
cords of horror by which that accursed
deed lies been excelled ! Merciful heaven!
not only 17 human beings, most of whom
had never offended the perpetrators of
their death, were sacrificed that night
which stands without a parallel—but the
unBor i child—the litile infant who had
never lifted its innocent hands, or breath
ed the air ol life—the little child in its.
mother’s womb. But I am wrong in say
ing that the child who perished in the
flames was not born. The wretched
kinsman of its unfortunate mother gave a
more just description than I have done.—
When irsked how many were consumed
m the flames, he said there were 17, and
that if the child tiiat . was dropped, (for
that was his phrase) in the burning, be
counted, it would make eighteen / Born
in fire !—sentjnto the world in the midst
of a furnace!—transferred from the womb
to the flames, kindled by fiends, who ex
ulted around them ! Stretched on a bed

There is a law against swine running at

ed up and transplanted him from his back
into the gutter, to the great damage of
his person apparel.
Zephyr Silkendale testified that he was
a fellow lodger wiih John Julius Dandv,
and that the said Dandy suffered great in-
iurv in his apparel, bv reason of certain
filthy accumulations of mud, as per con
tract of certain individuals wbb the Cor
poration : and further that said John .Tu
bus Dandv kept his bed three days after
wards,ns he verily believes in consequence
of said disaster.
Svl via Silverbeels deposed on the part
of defendant, that the hat sported bv Miss
Mpdjsh was a fashionable lint, such as is
is now generally worn bv all persons of
the lea«t pretensions, from the highest ton
to the lowost kitchen, find that no horse
of nnv blond or breeding would think of
being frightened at seem" it.
Mad ame Trumnouric deposed that the
hat was an exact far simile of one worn bv
the Dutchess D’Angoulcme, the last time
she took ;in airing to Fontainbleau.
John Julius Dandv cross examined by
Mr. Catchall.
Was the h nrse von rode a blood horse ?
Cant tel!—dont know his pedigree.
Counsel desire the Jury to take partic
ular note of this.
So you dont know his pedigree you sav ?
No'
Mr. Dandy, I am now going to ask
yon a question which I hope you will con
sider deeply, before vou answer. Did plain-
tifl wear curls, when she frightened your
horse ?
She did.
You are certain of that
I am.
Very well—that’s sufficient.
Zephyr Silverbeels cross examined.
Did John Julius Dandy actually keep
his bed three days after the accident?—
Ans. He did.
Was it in consequence of actual injury
sustained or only flight? A Cant say up
on my honour.
Never mind your honour, sir—you are
under oath now—might not John Julius
Dandy have kept his bed in consequence
of the damage sustained by his costume,
rather than from any injury received in
his person. Had he any second suit of
n the rack on which sin is laid by na- ! clothes to put on, while the other was rc-
iure, hut what must have been the pains
of t’.iat delivery In which a mother brought
forth, a child, and-while she was herself
perishing in the flames, felt the infant that
was clasped against her bosom, consumed
i\y the fo es with which she was surround
ed. I should not withhold from you an
incident illustrative of maternal tender
ness, which adds to the horror of this
abominable crime. The mother of the
new born chfld was found dead near a tub
of water in which she had placed her in-
l uit to save it, and the child was discover
ed with its scull burned off, and the rest of
the limbs preserved by the water in which
the expiring mother had striven in the uni
ted pains of death and childbirth to pre
serve it. What shall we say of this ! In
what language shall we express the feel
ings' which this appalling deed sends into
the heart!—with what exclamation shall
we give vent to the emotions awakened
by the recital of that which you tremb e to
hear, and which there were human beings;
ton m 1 who were not afraid to do ! We can
but lift up our hands' to the God of Jus- j
tice, and ask him why lie has invested us \
with the same forms as the demons who |
perpetrated that unexampled murder, arid]
why did they commit it L^y virtue of a ;
Iwrible league bv whichmey were bound !
together, not only against their ehemv but j
og.uiaV human nature mmu the God who i
made it!—for they were bound together !
-—they were sworn in the name of their
Creator, and they invoked Heaven to
sanctify a deed which they were confede
rated to perpetrate by a sacrament of hell. ;
Although accompanied by circumstances
of inferior.terror, the recent assassination
of Barrcf’’belongs to the same class o'f
guilt, A body of men, at the close of day
enter a peaceful habitation, on the S.ib-
pai.ang!
He John Julius gave Lawyer Catchall
a look that rather staggered the learned
Counsel, and Mr. Silverbeels appealed
to the Court to know whether he was o-
bliged to answer the question. The court
said by all means, unless it would in any
way criminate himself. Mr. Catchall then
repeated the question.
He had no other suit of clothes.
O ho ! then he kept his bed lor want
of them ?
Gant say.
Madame Trumpourje cross-examined
by Mr. Tongue, counsel for the plaintiff.
What was the size of Miss Modish’s
bonnet 1
Seven feet 3 inches round, clear of the
trimmings.
Is that the usual size ?
The sizes vary—if the lady is. below
the middle size, the hat ought to be pro
portionally larger ; a. lady of four feet and
a half in height should wear a hat twice
the circumference of her height.
How many yards of trimming go to the
composition of a fashionable hat, Madam ?
i Sometimes more, sometimes less. ■ Six
ty or seventy yards is the extent.
How many feathers?
About three dozen.
What quantity of flowers ?
About as much as t will fill three band
boxes.
How in the name of.wonder do the la
dies keep such things on their, heads?
They hold them last with their hands.
What is she usual price ofsucha bat?
Here Madame Trutnpourie made a
low courtsie, and declared she never at
tended to such a vulgar matters—The la
dies paid just what they pleased.
The testimony being*, cio.sed, Mr.
heads.
[The argument is continued at some
length, but for want of room we are oblig
ed to leave it, and proceed to give some
remarks in defence of the case.]
Mr. Catchall then rose in behalf of the
defendant and made a most powerful ap
peal to the feelings of the jury.
Gentlemen of the jury, said lie,“ rlie
age of chivalry—is gone !”—a long pause,
and the orator resumed—“ The age of
chivalry is gone, and the glory of Europe
is defeated^ forever !”—I say gentlemen
—that a gentleman should bring an action
against a lady, in any court, (except the
court of cupid) is an unequalled barbarian
—I say gentlemen a most unparalleled bai-
barian. Gentlemen of the jury, where is
there to be found, in the common law—
the civil'law—the canon law—the stat
ute law—the laws of the Modes and Per
sians—the laws of the land, or the ocean
—I say where is there any law put ing a
lady’s hat into superscription or confine ?
None. I defy the learned gentleman to
produce a single case in point. But gen
tlemen of the jury, tiie laiv in most cases
which occur, has nothing to do with the
business. Custom, gentlemen, custom is
above law, because it is the foundation of
the law. Now, I maintain that if it were
the custom to wear no hats at all, there
would be nothing unlawful in any client
going without a hat. Now gentlemen of
the jury, if it is lawful to go without a hat,
then it follows apriori—that is it goes be
fore the argument—fhat she may lawfully
wear a hat as high as a church steeple, and
as wide as a church steeple, and as wide
as a church door. The very fact of her
being permitted to wear no hat, proves that
she may wear a hat of any size she pleas
es.
The cou t charged the Jury, that if they
believed the learned counsel for the plain
tiff, they would find against the defendant;
if they believed the counsel for the defen
dant;-they would find against the plaintiff;
hut if they believed neither, they would do
just as they pleased.
Jury after being out three days and
three nights, returned a verdict of disa
greement, and were discharged.
The following rules for promoting love
and harmony, have, been circulated a-
mongst the members of a church in Eng

scriptural, that vve hope they will be circu
lated yet more exsensively, and be adopted
by all who bear the Christian name.

The Administration.^—The formation
of the new Cabinet proceeds so slowly that
there is some reason to apprehend that
the Parliament, tipon its re-assernblagq,
will have no administration to support or
to oppose; in which case the members
may, by way of novelty, vote according
to their consciences. It is not eiir inten
tion to trifle with the time ond patience
of our readers, by recapitulating all the
rumours on the subject*# resignations and
new appointments with which the public
journals '-have teemed since we last ad
dressed our readers on the subject. One
of the morning papers, however, which ar
rived here yesterday, contains a report of
so curious a nature that we must notice it.
Mr. Canning, as the editor of this
journal intimates, only retains the premier
ship pro tempore, with the view of resign
ing it in favor of some other individual—
a Whig it is presumed. In the meantime,
it is added, that Lord Dudley is invested
with the Foreign Seals merely as Mr
Canning’s locum tenens, until the present
Premier shall succeed in finding an elig
ible person in.whdse favor he will resign
the: first office of the state.
