No State has comparatively deri- ved so much profit from these changes as North |Germany. Some weeks after these changes, the Unien increased the tariff upon mixed cottons and woollen stuffs, in a degree amounting almost to prohibitive duty, Representati were made on ‘this subject, end Great Britain insinuated, that if ‘ this measure were adopted, reprisals might perhaps be made use of; nevertheless the measure wa put into execution. Immediately after Prussia made two_ proposals, viz: that the duties on cotton velvet might, be di- hed, and that the Prussian shipping might be placed on the same footing as the Hogteh for the exportation to athird country, and in what it is generally called indirect commerce. ‘The first of these demands was refused, but the second was syanted; but the first was not refused because in Jermanyan example ot restrictive measures was shown. The second measure was granted in spite of these antecedents; ard on this occasion the Bri- tish government guve to the treaty of 1842 an inter- pretation in favor of Prussia—an_ interpretation which it would have been easy for the English go- vernment to repulse, had it not desired the com- mercial relations between England and Germany should increase in facility aud extent. This was the point at which affairs stood In 1842, on the part of England, measures were passed to fucilitate commerce ; on the part of Germany, measures to restrict commerce in a_ considerable degree. In 1843, there were no reprisals on the part of Great Britain, but, on the contrary, a new concession ; on the part of Germany, measures still more deci dedly hostile to commerce. It could scarcely be called just, that whilst England does not grant every demand made to it, because among a number of concessions it refuses one, the Union should exe- cute measures of all kinds which restrict commerce between the two nations, and that underthe auspi- ces of aStato whose government, at least on this subject, holds a course diameirically opposed to the Innguage itspeaks. Thus, after having shown the disadvantages of the changes now in view, and having proved that the commercis! measures of Great Britain had a right to a different return on the part of Germany, it only remains to me to charge your lordship to make known to the Prus- ment regarded as certain the change in the tariff on iron, but that, whether that change takes place or not, it will present Prussia with no preposal relative to this proposition, either at present or for the furare Convinced that it isnot compatible with the digm- ty of England to make proposals which are conti- nually repulsed, the English government hes ac- tired the conviction that, as regards cemmerciui acilities, it can count on no support from Prussia and the other States of the German Union; and 1 considers it its duty to take its measures, for the future, without taking into consideration things which, in other circumstances, it would most cer- tainly have considered. Your lordship will have the kindness to commu- nicate a copy of this despatch to the Prussian Mi- nister of Foreign Affairs. Tam, &ec. (Signed) ABERDEEN. Ireland, Stare Prosecurions—Court or Quren’s Bancu. Trinity Term opened on Wednesday, 22d ult. and there was, of course, a full attendance of the Bar, in the expectation that judgment would be pro nounced upon the motion for anew trial in the case of the Queen vs. Daniel O’Connell and others.— Towards the close of the day the Court intimated that they would give judgment on Friday. This armouncement caused a_full attendance in the Court on the day fixed. On the sitting of the full Court, shortly ‘aftereleven o'clock, the case ot “The Queen against Daniel O'Connell and others” having been cailed, i Mr. Justice Pexxtn proceeded to deliver his judg- ment, Having stated the nature of the charges as set forth in the indictment, he proceeded to con- sider the ober upen which the motion for 4 new trial had been rested by the counsel for the traveree: The objections as to mere form, such ag the misnomer of Mr. Rigby, the juryman, the name, d&e. he briefly answered. Passing over the objection to the panel, arising out of the omission of the names of the Catholic jurors, as being pro- erly matter of challenge, not cf a,new trial, he vindicated the Court from the objection that it had been deficient in explicitness as to the jaw of con- spiracy, He expressed his concurrence in the greater part of the charge, with the law laid down, and the facts submitted to the jury, but thought that there had been substantial error in ad- mitting certain newepapers, the property of Messis. Barrett or Dufly, as being per se evidence of facts dove or speeches made by Mr O'Connell, which were not otherwise in evidence. Reports in hewespapers were no proot of facts, nor could narrative statements, made on the authority of their proprietors, who were responsible for them, be brought in evidence as to the acta or speeches of another. The publication in the Pilot or Free- man were evidence against Messrs. Barrett or Gray, but not against Mr. O’Connell, except in so far as the acts of the former could aflect the latter, and, therefore, the Court had been substantially wrong in stating that Mr. O’Connell had been at Mallow and Tara, and made certain apeeches there which were justly and strongly commented upon, when there was nothing in evidence to oe the assertion but those newspaper reports. a the course of his defence Mr. O’Conneil re- marked, with justice, that the Crown argued in a circle with regard to those journals, for first they used them to prove that a conspiracy existed, and having so deduced that fact, they used the narra- tives of these papers to prove acts of conepiracy against individnals. He was of opinion that these newspapers should not have been used until the conspiracy had been proved; indeed, there war abundance of proof to implicate Mr. O'Connell 10 the conspiracy withont their aid; yes with the for- mer impression on his mind, and mindful of the principle of civil law, which holds that one impro- per issue vitiates a verdict, no matter how well sup- ported by other evidence, he thought Mr. O’Connei! entitled to a new trial, more especially as he could notsay how far the jury had been influenced in their verdict by this newspaper evidence, which wags, in his miud, so improper for their considera dion. Wah respect to the Rev. Mr. Tierney, it had been urged that there were some peculiar cir- cumstances, and his counsel had relied upon the fact that no previous knowledge of the acts of the other traversers had been attributed to, or proved against him by the Crown, although he certainly joined the association, and made a very reprehen- sible speech there on the third of October; but as memberehip of that body was not legal, und no paativer knowledge or concert with others had been proved, he thought theee facts should have been more plainly laid betore the jury, and would direct a new trial tor the reverend gentleman, on the ground of vagueness and looseness in the charge. _ Mr. Justice Crampron next delivered his judgment which was very long and careful. Hefagreed with his brother Perrin in every point, save the admissi- bility of the newspapers against Mr. O'Connell, which he thought were clearly matter to go before the jury, even if the statements therein were false ; for he held that Mr. O'Connell wae responsible for them, as they were published in pursuance of the common object, and that the publication was ipso facto part ot the conspiracy, He thought that his brother Perrin’s remarke with regard to the Rev. Mr. Tierney were vay just, and concurring in them as he did, they would direct anew trial for that geutleman, even at a riek of incloding all the tray ersers in it, for he could not, at such a hazard, per- mit him to suffer wrong. That course, however, would be obviated, if the Crown could enter a nolle it against him, which would satisfy him (Sir J. Crampton.) Mr. Justioe Buxton followed, and in a judgment, ot his usual ability, stated the reasons on which he thought the motion should be refused on every point to all the traversers, The Lorp Cmier Justice commenced his judg- ment shortly before six o’clock. He expressed bis entire concurrence in the arguments on which his brother Burton rested his refusal of a new trial. On the following day a fresh attempt was made to delay judgment. Mr. Wairesine entered the Courrt and proceed- ed to say, that he had to move for a return in the shape of an amendment of the postea, by plncin, on that document certain facts which the defend anie claimed tohave put upon the record. [The learned counsel here read the notice.] Of the facts which they sought to place upon the record there could be no dispute. The first fact was the exten- sion of the trial into the vacation; the second was the separation of the jurors ef the progress of the trial. ‘Chese, he eaid, were the first two points n, and it wasclear that they were per- feetly consistent with it. The other grounds of his application acted on the indictment, the issue pa- per, and the finding of the jury. They had found some of the defendants galy of certain parts ot various coun! ‘ound others of them not ey upon certain parts, and it was his wish to ave the “finding” precisely the same as they found it; he had tramed his postea in that way,and would read it for their lordslips [Counsel here read the form im which he desired to have the finding word- ed.] He wished to state exactly what his objec- tion was~they began by saying that the said jurors upon their oaths, find the said Daniel O’Connell, &c., &e., guilty of, &c., &e — but the jury had not found them guilty of the intent, as there stated, at all—and he (Mr. Whiteside) only desired to have the finding of the jury exactly as that finding was given. The Arrornty Gryerar replied, and showed that the case, as stated by Mr. Whiteside, had already been adjudged upon ite merits, that the separation of the jury had been acceded to by their counsel, and that the finding was in correct terms of the record. Afier some discussion, the Court unanimously re- fused the motion, principally on the ground, as they alleged, that Mr. Moore havin; consented to the separation of the jury, it would be a breach of compact to accede to it; und, also, because the motion to alter the postea should have been made within the first four days of the last term. The traversers, however, were determined to make another attempt, in the form of a MOTION IN ARREST OF JUDGMENT. Sir Couman O’Loauten seid that the motion to amend the postea having been disposed of, he had to move, on the part of the traversers, in arrest of judgment,:but being wholly unprepared, he trusted their lordships would give him time until Monday inorning. bs This was most strongly opposed by the Chief Jus- tice and thy Attorney General, who contended that Sir C. O'Loghlin should proceed at once—after the great delay already permitted, no further me should be granted. Sir Colinan O’Loghlen stated that he was not prepared; and it was finally agreed that he should state the outline of the arguements he intended to use, which be did in Court; and further, (that he should furnish the Attorney General with the cases he intended to cite in support ef his motion, that nighti—and upon this underetanding, the Court agreed to acjourn, On Monday, Sir C. O’Locuten brought forward his motion, and spoke upon it for several hours He described himselt as counsel for Mr. O’Connelt only; and as it was evident that each of the tra- versers cought to be heard by counsel, the Court in- terfered, and ruled absolutely that only two coun- sel should be heard on each side. ‘The Court ad- journed at half past four. i On Tuesday, the Soticrror Generar. replied to Sir C. O’Loghlen, and was followed by Mr. M’Donaon for the traversers. On Wednesday, the Attorney General commen- dhis reply, and. concluded at half past one 0’ k. The Chief Justice then proceeded to give judgment on the motion, and stated that the whole Court were ununimons in retusing anew trial. He condemned, in strong langnage, the legal subtlenes and points of law th Te resorted to by the typv- er-ers for the purposes of delay. Judges Burton, Crampton, und Perrin, in succes- sion delivered their opinions, which are in accord- ance with those of the Chief Justice, The trav- ersers Were in attendance awaiting the sentence. Mr O’Conneil made an affidavit, yesterday, to the eflect that it isnot customary to execute a sentence pending a writ of error. % At a quarter to five the Court adjourned till next morning, when sentence will be passed—but amo- tion will be brought forward that it may not be put into operation till the judgment on the writ of error shall be given. ‘ ‘Thursday morning having been fixed for bring- ing the traversers up for judgment, the popular ex- citement, which for some time past seemed to be quiescent, began again to dispiay some of its for- mer vigor, and the preparations made about the courts might be taken asa criterion of the extent to which it prevailed. As soon as the doors of the court were thrown open, at a few minutes past ten, all the seats which could be placed ut the disposition of the bar or the public were thronged with people. Several ladies appeared in the galleries. : 3 Mr. O'Connell, accompanied by Mr. Smith O’Brien, M. P., and by Mr. Steele, entered the traversers’ bar at half past ten, and a scene ensued which, we beheve, is altogether unprecedented in a of justice. 3 bar, with the exception of comperatively few, rose and greeted Mr. O'Connell with loud and repeated rounds of cheers, accompanied with elapping of hands. This demonstration of acclamation con- tinued for a few minutes. At twenty minutes after eleven o’clock the full court sat. ‘The Chief Justice, on taking his seat, asked the Attorney-General if he had anything to move, and that gentlemen replied in the negative. part of Damel O’Connell and others he had to app! to the court, that whatever sentence it might thin! was founded upon the proceed w place in that court, and an affidavit nade by Mr. with ail possible speed, bring his writ of error bi fore the ii delay, but’ merely to sta’ he asked of their Lordships todo was, to pass what- pledged himself that would be done with the great. bail to an their Lordships might be pleased to order, and that the order should be granted, The Arrornr the Crown it was hia duty to oppose that applica- the law in civil actions should also be the law in criminal was to deal with the matier according to the lay as it then stood ; and, indeed, he said, Mr. Moore withont precedent; and he could add, with periect confidence, that in case it would be granted, thai within twenty-four hours after judgment had been ntry that the defendants were at large, and land. grant it. he shed tears, passed Sewrence on TYE TRAVERSERS.

He had now. me! to say it was his pain- ful conviction that justice had not been done. Asudden and vociferous cheer from nearly all parts of the Coart followed this result; and al- though it was naeeormpanied by the clapping of hands amongst the junior bar, and was two or three times repeated, the Judges did not interfere, although evidently displeased. ‘ The Traversers immediately surrendered into the custody of the Sheriff. After delay ot about an hour and a half, which gave time to allay the excited feelings of thu peo- ple out of court, ns well as tor the necessary prepa- rations, the traversers were conveyed to the Rich- mond Penitentiary, in the Circular-roaf, their fu- ture place of confinement They proceeded thither in thiee carringen, attenved by a large matey po- lice. A great inany people ran along and kept up with the eatringes, and there was also a large as- semblage outside the Penitentiary on his arrival. WhengMr. O'Connell stepped out of the carriage he waa greeted with loud cheers, and immadinte- ly entered the gateway. Within the court yard, x jarge number of respectable persona, many of them his most intimate friende, were drawn up intwo lines, They received Mr. O'Connell in silence and uncovered, and as he walked up between the lines, he shook hands with many of _them ; his bearing was manly and undaunted. He thus en- tered the Governor's house, which, we understand he and his other fellow prisoners will be allowed to occupy. The Penitentiary is a vast pile of build- ing, inan airy and sxlubrious part of the suburbs of Duslin. ‘The Governor's house 19 large, and has agarden attached, in which Mr. O'Connell, with All the barristers of the outer Mr Moore, Q.
