We do not intend to go into an analysis of the trial, as the particulars of that coarse and shameless farce have been already eagerly read by the public ; but we will state two facts, connected with the proceedings, which stamp them as wilful, predetermined, and mali- cious murder. We shall not comment en the law of treason, as it exists in England, brutal, barbarous, : nd bloody; shocking, as it does, every sense of humanity, and outraging the digmty of man’s nature ; but we shall show that this law, brutal, barbarous, and bloody as it is, has been rendered more bru- tal, more barbarous, and more bloody, by the con- struction put upon it by the vile judges selected to be the instruments of O’Brien’s murder. We shall not advert to the packing of the jury— that is so common a practice in Ireland, that it has ceased to excite any wonderment.— Jadeed, a fairly selected jury in an Irish State trial would be regarded as acuriosity and a marvel. ‘Trial by jury has ceased to be, under English law, aught but a delusion, a mockery, and a snare. Men are sworn in to convict the accused, and they honestly perform their duty to the government Once or twice the Attorney Genera! has, by some blundering of his subordinates, permitted some in dividual, with a refractory conscience, to be em pannelled, as in the case of Meagher, and the con sequence was a government defeat. But, to do the myrmidons of British law common justice they seldom fail in their arrangements, and, as, fortunately for them, there is generally in the mar- ket an amount of purchasable morality adequate to theirpurposes, they almost invariably succeed in accomplishing their villanous designs. All we have to say, theretore, of the twelve ‘gentlemen of ‘Tipperary, who were empanneled on Mr. O’Brien’s trial, is, that they did their work with a goodly show of fairness, and that they even exhibited so much regard for appearances as to recommend the ptisoner to mercy, after giving it, as their solemn conviction, that he did not deserve it. But let this pass By the law of England, a person accused of treason must be furnished by the crown prosecu- tor with a list of the jury panel, ten days, and a list of the crown witnesses, eleven days, before he iecelled upon to plead. This has been always considered absolutely essential, in order to ena- ble him to make his challenges, and to expose the untruetworthiness of the witnesses produced against him. The judges on Mr. O’Brien’s trial, decided that this provision, although bindiag in England, does not holdin Ireland ;—in other words, that a man accused of treason in England has some chance of fairness, under the law, such as itis, but that it isa different case in Ireland. Ata later stage of the proceedings, it was urged, in the judge’s own words, that the act of Edward IIL. could not apply to Ireland, as that country was not, at the time of its passage, within the realm of England, and, therefore, that the conviction was illegal. The judges, in the teeth of their former decision, decided that the law of treason is the same in both countries. We need not add a word of comment. Three fitter instruments could not be chosen to do their bloody work. The nefarious character of Justice Doherty is so notorious for the last filteen years, that to recall the blood-stained history of his ad- ministration of the laws would be umnecessary. He has sent hundreds of his fellow-countrymen into exile, at the behests of the government. As blood-thursty as Jeffreys, he has lacked his promi~ nence alone, to make him as universally detested. We perceive that a jreliminary meeting of the Irish people of New York has taken place, and that measures have been taken to call a general meet- ing, some day next week, for the purpose of giving | Smith O'Brie an expression of opinion on this judicial farce, | which has recently been perpetrated in Ireland, on the trial, condemnation, and sentence of the patriot O’Brien That trial—the means which were resorted to to insure a verdict of guilty, by packing the jury—by excluding testunony of a character that would show, at least, that, if Smith O'Brien is guilty of treason, be is no more a criminal than the great untried Lord John Kussell—the admission of test- mony from a base informer, who would not stop at the grossest and vilest perjury to earn tne blood money provided by the government in case of con- viction—together with the barbarous sentence that was passed upon the illustrious prisoner, demand @ proper expression of public opinion in this coua- try, especially from the Irieh; and we are glad to perceive that a meeting is called tor tle purpose It should not, however, be confined to the Irish The great principles which Smith O’Brien and his associates have contended for during t last few years, and for the maintenance of which he has been eentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered, by envilized Evgland, are identical with those for which the people of America fought, bled, and died, m the revolutionary struggle. Americans, therefore, have as great a horror and detestation for the iniquity that has churactertsed the prosecu- tion of O'Brien and his compeers, as the prisoner's own countrymen, and we have no doubt that the people of these United States do feel as poignantly for sound’s sake. matters, “rather drumming.” Again, he begins to descant, that all this factious ignorance will pro- duce sad work just now; “ waita little,” he says, in the words of the showman, “and there will be seen what there will be seen.’’ What, pray? Pre- pare for a majestic and awful anticipation. complish seems to fancy Americe a somewhat danger- for Mr. O’Bnen, in his piesent circumstances, as the Insh themselves do. We think it highly pro- bable that their voice, as well as that of the Irish, will be heard across the Atlantic, 1n condemna- tion of the whole proceeding, as it has been here- tofore heard in denouncing the tyranny which has for centuries marked English domination in lre- land. But, after all, the tyrants and bloodhounds ot England care but little for public opinion in any quarter of the world. The whole of christeadom has on«many occasions spoke out in abhorrence of the system which they have pursued in every part of the world where they have unfortunately ob- tained a footing, but without effect. The policy which they had pursued for years in India, Africa, America, the West Indies, and Ireland, remains the same, notwithstanding ; or, if any alteration for the relief of the people has been made, in any ot those countries, it was policy and self-interest that dictated it, and not a love of justice or hu- manity. There is a point, however, on which they can be touched, and one which 18 more sensitive at the present time than it ever w Thisis thew manufactures. For years past, this part of England’s industry has been declining, in consequence of the long peace which has pre- vailed in Europe, and the advances made by other nations in the arts of civilization. The recent revolutions and the present disturbed state of the European continent have injured, to a very great extent, her markets for manufactures in that part of the world, and the United States 1s now the | principal outlet for the productions of her looms, mines, and manufactories, of all kinds. Let this market be shut out from her, and a revolu, tion would occur there immediately. We can- not, as long as we are at peace with her, ot course, exclude her manufactures; that would, in the nature of things, be impossible; bu, the market can be injured, to a very great extent, by a general understanding not to consumeanything coming from that country. This subject, we under. stand, {has been agitated toa great extent, within thelast few days, by the Irish in this city; and this view, we understand, has been taken, and will! probably be laid before the meeting, which wil! take place next week. Certain itis, that, ifeuch q system was adopted, England would be injured in her most vital parts. In consequence of her markets on the continent being stopped, cargo after cargo of hermanufactures has been shipped to this country for sale, without regard to the price that could be obtained. no sale here for her goods, itis apparent that she would be most grievously injured. It the Irish persist in their determination to carry this project into efiect, they would soon see its fruits. £ng- land does not fcrget the spirit which actuated the people of the colonies in regard to tea, nor tie treatment which her minions received when she attempted to force it down unwilling throats; and she knows, too, the feelings of the present Ameri- can people in regard to her treatment of Ireland. It was only a year ago, that, in the fullness of their benevolence and humanity, the people of the United States took the position of almoners to Ireland, and freely shipped corn and bread to re- lieve the Irish from a famine, which was not the act of Providence, as the rulers of England blas- phemously termed it, but the legitimate fruit of the horrible system of government which they have pursued towards that country. They never did believe, and never will, that a country of eight millions of people can be reduced to such an abject and desperate condition, as to compel its Inhabitants to depend on one precarious root for subsistence, except by bad government, bad laws, and insupportable taxation. Hence, they would probably second the movement of not consuming any article of English production or manufacture, until, not only the blood of O’Brien be properly atoned for, but equal and exact justice be rendered to his country. ENGLISH ARISTOCRATIC OPINIONS ON THE FORTH. COMING PRESIDENTIAL ELEcTIoN.—It 1s not always the most pleasant thing 1n the world to tell people what their neighbors say of them. Nothing, how- ever, ismore cemmon. Information of this kind always travels expeditiously, making few halts by the way. Those who would make it properly available, should bear :n tind not to play the part of the doctor’s boy, who poisoned a bosom friend with the very excellent weight he gave him. With these remarks, will now be placed before the Ame- rican citizen what the mouth-piece of the aristo- cracy and the ‘‘genteel poverty” of England say of them, in connexion with the forthcoming elec- tion of a President. The first sweeping assertion that meets the eyes of the readers of the Times, is that, of the “seven millions of voters, scarcely one knows his own principles.” No expression of pity tollows \his declaration of the ignorant condition of a people who have studded every hamlet with an endowed school. The severity of the remark 18 not miti- gated by any remembrance of the ignorance occa- sionally displayed at hdme. A few weeks ago, a woman appeared as a witness before Mr. Justice Cresweil, who was perfectly illiterate ; she knew nothing of the Lord’s prayer, had never heard of Jesus Christ, she had no knowledge of the months, but knew that the event of which she was called to bear testimony occurred a certain number of days before Newton races. The same week pro- duced before the same judge, a very type of the above. The “unsuccessful barrister” of the Times then goes on in the same bombastical strain, and asserts that the Americans are a “ faction without a faith.” This must have been inserted it 18, as Dickens says on such “The States are the raw fuel of a political strife, which it only requires a spark to kindle.” The reader is implored to suppress his smiles, whilst he 1s se- riously informed that the editor of the T'imes, with the aid of his friends of the Morning Chronicle; Herald, Globe, and Standard, are but with a blazing torch in each hand, ti every country in flames, whose people and princi- ples are not to the taste of their masters. therefore, the Americans have any difficulty in blowing their “spark” into a conflagration, he of the Trmes will be most happy, on the shortest ne- tice, to poke one or both his torches, and those of his friends, into transatlantic combustibles, to ac- gaged, Ing to set If, so desirable a purpose. Next, he ous neighbor, and his fears are not lessened by the breadth of salt water that intervenes be- tween him and his dreaded conflagration. [n his alarm, he asks “ what securiiy can there be in such a people?” He evidently fears that his master will be brought to account for all this run- ning about with torches, as they are dangerous things to trifle with. He may, however, be ac- tuated by a love of posthumous fame, like he who set the temple on fire in ancient times, The set- ting the States and its pine forests in flames, would, indeed, be a grand flare up, and a feather in his cap. He next begins to assume a tone of a very oflensive nature. It implicates the millions in America, in the probable choice of a President, who may be an ‘unprincipled adventurer, who will plunge it in war.” Itis highly oixgraceful and insulting to any people thus to speak, even of their probable choice, which is enough to cause more than irritation, if his expectations are realized; and thus to spepk, too, of the head of a power that not half, but the whole, sovereigns of Ea- 1 may envy, for the security and dignity of his position, and the happiness of the people he sules over, The last assertion is a desponding one, having for its purpert that the advent of | yrom THE Sovru.—The gplendid fast sailing steam- If, therefore, there was | | bello on the 30th ult , with troop: such a manas the Americans are likely to choose for President, will be the signal for “ battle, mur- der, and sudden death,” from which he prays “Good Lord, deliver us,” namely, him and his master. Joking apart, the Americans themselves best know the men most worthy of theirchoice They want no foreign advice or meddling in their affairs, and matters have strangely changed if they will permit the editor of the Times to go through his harsh exercise on their soil at their expense. Every attem;t at intrusion ought to be met by a good bucket of water to cool the courage of the incendiary, and extinguish the flame of his torch. The old feudal squaretoes of England, and their influences, should confine themselves to the pre- cinets of their own preserves at home, and not wander abroad. lest they be trod on by heels un- mindful of their tender corns. Movement vor Catirornia.—General Persifer F. Smith, who has justly earned the title of the Hero of Contreras, and who has been appointed Governor of California, is at present in this city, and will soon take his departure for that land of gold mines and wild horses. The gallant Cap- tain Tobin is also stay:ng here, and will accom- pany General Smith to his new home. A regiment of U.S. soldiers, destined for the same place, will soon take their departure, and will be at the service of Governor Smith in maintaining the supremacy of the United States government in that newly acquired terntory, strengthening him in the administration of the laws, and fitting the people of that country to become good citizens. California 18 destined to be as valuable a part of our territory as any we poasess, and will no doubt rapidly be filled with emigrants from the old States: AgRIVAL OF THE Saran Sanps.—The auxiliary steamer, Sarah Sands, Capt. llsley, arrived at her dock yesterday morning early in a voyage of sixteen days, from Liverpool, having left that port on the afternoon of the 11th inst. Capt. Thompson, het old commander, remained in England, and the ship is now in charge of her first officer. ARRIVAL OF THE SreaMsHie CHEROKEE—LaATER ship Cherokee, Capt, Lyon, came in yesterday morning from Savannah, in an unusual short ran, bringing dates from the Southern cities many hours in advance of the mail. Tur Venezvetean Trovenes.—The brig Eliza- beth Felon, Capt. Eldridge, arrived yesterday morning from Porto Cabello, whence she sailed on the 4th inst. Captain Eldridge states, that on the Ist of October, there was a battle fough! Coro, between the Govern- ment troops and the Paez party, in which the Govern- ment troops were victorious, having killed and taken prisoners ubout 600 of the Paes party. The Govern- ment fleet, consisting of five brigs sud six schooners, was at Porto Cabello on the 4th, taking in provisions and water, and making the necessary preparations for an attack on the fort and city of Maracaibo They were to sail for that place on the 8th of October. Oa the morning of the 4th, an embargo was Jaid on the port, but through my consignees, and the kinduess of the Governor, we obtained a permit to pass the block- ade. General Paes, it was said, was at Curacoa, und his fleet at last accounts was at Maracaibo ‘The brig Widgeon, Capt. Speed, of and from Phila- delphia, and last from Laguayra, arrived at Porto Ca- , And was gold to the Venezuelan Government. The steamer Augusta, of New Orleans, arrived at Prrto Cabello on the 2d inst., from Curacoa, and was chartered by the Government to proceed to Laguayra to take @ load of troops to Maracaibo. She sailed on the 3dinst. All kinds of business was very dull,and the markets were well supplied with American produce, No freights to be had. Coffee scarce and none in market. Sporting Intelligence. Unrox Coursk, L. I—The mere announcement that the famous Jack Rossiter will appear to-morrow, is of itself sufficient to attract all the devotees of trot. ting tothe Union. Successful in every match, from Chicago to this city, he is now entered against that nonpariel Lady Sutton, mile heats, in harness; and, should circumstanees'be favorable, 2:30 at least may be expected. Atallevents, it will bea capital affair, and prove highly gratifying to all who may bave the good fortune to witness it. City Politics. Wuic Conanestionar Convention.—The Whig Congressional Convention of the 5th district assem- bled again last night at the Broadway House, bat up to,s late hour had not made a nomination, nor was there the slightest probability that one would be made, ‘This was the sixth attempt, and it is likely they will make six more before they decide upon a candidate. The name of Mr. Latson was aronges: but the conflict still seemed to continue, though George Briggs, Esq stood higher than any one elee, yet far from having sufficiency of votes to nominate him. There ai alreedy two whig candidates in this district, besides two hunkers and s barnburner. maty Nominations.—Hunker.—The Hunker tien of the 11th ward have nominated Dennis mn, Esq ,as their candidate for the Assembly The Hunker Convention of the 13th ward have nominated Peter V. Garritt as their candidate for the Assembly. The Hunker Convention of the 14th ward have nominated Alexander M. Ailong, Esq., as their can- didate for the Assembly. Free Soi.—The Free Soil Assembly Convention of the 7th ward have nominated William L. Wood, Esq, as their candidate fer the Assembly, and the same party of the 14th ward, Thomas B. Tappan, Exq. City Intelligence. Tux Weatner —The weather yesterday was per- fectly delightful, and looked and felt more like spring than aughtelee. The fashionable thoroughfares were crowded during the whole day, and every countenance wore a smile of pleasure and contentment. though beneath a smiling brow there is oft an aching heart ; and doubtless many who moved the gayest among the gay, whore eyes berpoke peace within, and whose smile would seem that the conscience was clear and serene as the pure sky under which they mov. the very perronifications of wretchedness and misery of heart. All mature seemed enlivened by the genial rays of the sun, and the busy pedestrian throng ed to enjoy the varied pleasures of the day. The ening was quite cool id the face of the sky was for ime darkenened b; ‘ing clouds, That, however, oon over, and the star spangled canopy Jooked as beautiful as the day had beer. Destructive Fiae.—A fire breke out about ‘eight o'clock on Friday night, in the extensive cotton fac tory of Mr. Krox, at the corner of Washington and Jone streets. which was almost entirely destr-red be fore the flames could be eabdned. The fires tzinated in tke engine room, and in consequence of the yuan- tity of combustible material. the flames spread with fearful rapidity, notwithstanding the prompt action of the firemen, ' The building was very large, and af- forded employment to some sixty female operatives, all of whom are thrown out of employment. The loss is supposed to be about $20,000. but was fully cover- ed by insurence.

Mr. Mauric: Power, son of the late celebrated (rish comedian, Tyrone Power, will make his appearance upon the Park boards, on Monda: ning He will be well received, for his father’s cake; and, if he prove worthy of the name, there is no doubt about his success in this country, The father left behind him in America a host of the warmest friends, who would be glad to find in the sen something to — back pe their memory the “ days By! oung Power possesses talent, his course will'be aa successful as need be desired.” His way to fortune is open, and he has only to perform his part to seize the treasure. Boweny Turatae.—The very interesting drama of “The East River Craftsman‘ and the new American play of “The Swamp Fox,” were played last evening before a very numerous audience, Both of these pleces have been highly ssfal, having been played every evening during the past week with great applause, The various members of the company have exorted themselves to the utmost, and every character has been well enacted. The Bowery company, however, is hat no play is ever slurred The “Kast River Craftsman” is a local the plot turns on the fortunes of a young ap- prentice of New York, who is beset by various desiging men, and his character maligned and traduced. His afflanced bride, too, is also persecuted by them, and the twain pass through many scenes of danger and diffi- oulty ; bappily, all ends well with them, and their ene- mies are thwarted. ‘There are several amusing charac- ters in the piece. Winans, as » cockney barber, who keeps a temperance shaving shop, and Jordan, as an area sneak and low rowdy, give rise to deal of fun Miss Fanny Gordon enacted her part of the heroine with much éclat; and J, H.

Broapway Tnxatnx.—The excellent comedy of “ London Assurance” commenced the entertainments at this elegant establishment last ovening. Mr. Blake, as Sir Harcourt Courtly, fully sustained the high character he has acquired as an eminent come- dian, Vache, always good in every character, was quite at home in the part of Mark Harkaway.

The Pas de Deur by Mile Celeste and Mons, Wiethoif, was executed with much ease and elegance of style. in the beautifal accomplishment of dancing. The farce of the “ Ar cade” clored the performances, and was well received by the audience. We perceive by the underlining of tke bills that Mr. Murdoch is engaged at the Broad- way, and will appear on Monday evening in the ohar- acter of Claude Mellnotte, in the beautifal play of the * Lady of Lyons’? The character of Pauline will be sustained by Miss Fanny Wallack. Nationat Taxatar.—The bouse was crowded last evening, and the performances went off with much éclat. “Jack Sheppard,” which was played with such applause on Friday evening, was repeated, and Mies Mestayer, Chanfrau, and the other performers, did thei parts admirably. Miss Mestayer makes a most handsome figure as the bold young housebreaker. ‘We have never seen her look better than she does in this costume; her acting, too, was capital. Mr. Chan- frou, as Blueskin, ia very comical, and long and loud was the applause he received. The “ Glance at New York” was played next, and, forthe last time. We trust that Mose will, ere long, appear in some new local ; he ta too great s favorite to be allowed any of absence. The “ Pretty Girls of Stilberg,”’ after a dance from the pretty Mies Carline, concluded the entertainment. During the coming week, Mr. J. R. Scott will perform at the National This gentle. man is such an universal favorite that the mere an- nouncement of his engagement will attract crowds to the house He will, we presume, play a round of his most popular characters Mr. 7T. D Rice, the great originator of the Ethiopean style of drama, is also en- gaged—ro that the coming week, at the National, will be marked by most attractive bilis. Bunton’s Tueatne.—This neat little theatre was well attended last night to witness the performs of four interesting pieces, The first played was the laughable piece calied the ‘Dead Shot,” in which Mrs, Brougham and Miss Sinolair are its principal stars, The next piece was the comioal burlesque opera called “Dan Keyser de Bassoon,” being a parody on the po- puler drama of “Don Cesar de Bazan” and the opera of “Maritana.”” The scene opens with Miss Chapman as Mary Tanner. a perambulating organist, who ap- Pears on the stage with one of those hand organs. such as ore carried daily in the streets by the Dutch Swirs women. In this character, Miss C sings a cong in which she throws so much expression and humor that the audience were almost convulsed with laugh- ter. Mr. Meyer as Don Josey, an ambitious bar- keeper, is exceedingly well played, and the piece al- together went off well The third Piece was the musi- cal burletta of ‘ Mischief Makiog,” in which Miss Chapman, as the watherwoman, gave the whole cast to the piece, embellishing the same with excelleut songs. The “Pas Neupolitain,” by Miss Walters and W. Frederick. was @ very pretty dance,and outed with much ability, The evening's entertainments con- cluded with the local drama called * New York in Slices.” which, usual, went off to the satisfaction of those present. Buoapway Cinccs—Trvow ayn Tuomrson.—It the beautiful and matchless classical exercises announced at this fascinating scene of rational entertainment, for the present week, can excel thore of the past, we may safely insure to the enterprising managers a remunora- tion equal to the vast and attractive amount of amuse" ment they have afforded the pubic. No talent that could be reached was left unsought and obtained, and the consequence was, full, fashionable, and gratified audiences To partioularice the skill of each of the cipline,and miraculous docility of , the wonderful transmigratio character of Darius, the elastic performances of Devee on the slack rope, or the daring exploits of the junenile Hernandez, would be but a repetition of the admira- tion we have heretofore expressed of all andeach, The afternoon performance, yesterday, was a ucene of juve- nile joy aud hilarity to the young, who assembled, under their parents and guardians, in crowds; and the evening entertainments were visited by as numerous and fashionable an audience as could be contained within the walls of this beautiful and weil regulated amphitheatre.
