Livexroo., Saturday, Nov 25-11, A. M, A steamer which left Dublin at a late hour yesterday. baa just reeched the harbor By her arrival we are in receipt of our correrpondent’s letter, as well a8 @ com: munication from our special reporter, who is attending the argument on the writ of error brought by the State | prisoners, who were oonvicied of high treason at Clonmel. In our commanication sent by the Britanuis, on this day se’nnight,we sent you a brief analysis of the grounds on which the counsel for the prisoners appeal againn, the judgmient of the commissioners at Clonmel. Thg case has been very ably argued on behalf of the prison ers ; and as far aslegal argument, and the principles of common sense are concerned, the case, so fer as Mr are concerned, is clearly in their favor; but it is too muchto expectthat tbe Judges will reverse their own decision, two of them being onthe special commission, namely—the Chief Justice and Judge Moore, Yesterday, Mr, Napier, hav- ing on tne previous day epoken at great length, apd with all that ability and legel acumen for which he is so distinguished, on behalf of Mr. Mo- Manus, and Sir Coleman O’Loghlen on the part of Mr. Meagher, Mr. Butt addressed the court on behalf of Mr. O’Donobue, and, as usual, diep powers; and if anything were wanted to comp! the conviction of their lordships that the prisoners had denied the privileges and the rights which the law conferred upon them, as persons charged with the highest offence known to the constitution of the ooun- try, it was supplied by Mr. Butt’s powerful address. A'feeble reply was made on tne part of the crown; after which the judges took till the beginning of nex term to consider how they will dispore of the case. It is not, however, likely that they witi give the prisoners the benefit of their objections, and reverse the sen- tence of the court below. We are, however, of opinion that probably the House of Lords would take a more favorable view of the case than the interested party, who will use every exertion to prop up what now ap- ars an erroneous couree, Mr. Charles Gavan Daffy, it is eaid. bas ci d the Attorney General no smali Cegree of uneasivess and anxiety by the letters which he has sent both to the High Sheriff of Dublin county and bimeelf, The former he warns from packing a jury. ‘as he alleges was done in the case of Mr. Mitchel and Mr. Martin, and the latter he castigates ina most cruel manner for the conduct be pursued in reference tothe lenging of jurore in these two trials. The letters have create] a profound sensation. and show that ainst Mr. Duffy the Attorney General is not to act with partiality or unfairness, as he is prepared to | resist and crush the foul and unholy attempt of swind ling him out of bis liberty by the infamous system of | jury packing. | A meeting of the citizens of Dublin has taken place to adopt come steps to prevent any unfair advantage against Mr. Duffy being taken; another on the same subject is to be held in a day or two. The Rumorcd bey es in the English n try.

The steamship Canada arrived at thia port yee- terday, at an early hour, bringing us_one week’s later intelligence from the o!d world. The continent of Europe is, onthe whole, ina state of quiescence; but it isa repose which can- not, in the nature of things, be lasting; fer the ball of democracy has been put in motion, and will, sooner or later, traverse the whole of that part of the world. This remark applies with great force to Germany. An ominous silence reigas through- out the whole of that country. Berlin occupies a position of passive resistance ; Vienna is still in astate of siege; but almost every town 1s ready to imitate those cities inthe course which they pureued, and emulate the deeds which brought them to the condition which they are now in.— Meantime, in Vienna the work of death goes en, Messenhauser, the commandant of Vienna, has been shot by order of the heartless Windtschgratz, the Emperor’s minion, who, with an atrocity that has seldom been equalled, refused to suspend the execution of the sentence of death until the Emperor’s reply to a petition to spare his hfe could be received. Other illustrious mar tyrs have, in a similar way, forfeited their lives in the cause which they undertook ; but as sure as they have fallen, so sure will their deaths be avenged, and so sure will the des- pot he the nearer to his own downfall. In Berlin the Assembly maintains the position which it oc- cupied et the previous dates. The members have been frequently dispersed by the military, but succeeded in passing a resolution prohibiting the collection and payment of taxes. This isa highly important movement, inasmuch #s it re- duces the powers that be to an extremity which they are illy prepared to meet, and wilt tc Sud, SOOner or later, if persisted in, to unite the whole of Ger- Many in one grand democratic offensive and de- fensive confederacy. The excitement in France, growing out of the near approach of the presidential election, 1s on the increase, and will probably continue so until that great event shall have taken place. The | friends of Cavaignac are doing their utmost to in- ‘A | fluence the country in his favor and secure his election; but from present appearances, they will not succeed in overthrowing the great influence which Prince Louis Napoleon possesses over the minds of the masses. As the day of election gets nearer, the Prince’s influence seems to aug- ment, and his election to the presidency seems more probable than ever. It was considered at one time that Lamartine would not be a candidate; | but he is—making three in the field for the office of President. This will add still further to Napo- leon’s chances, and will probably be the means of electing him. The disclosures which have been made of Cavaignac’s-conduct in the movements which led to the terrible revolution of June, have lessened him very much in the estimation of his countrymen, and have proportionably augmented the chances of Napoleon. At present it would | seem that every day’s changes in France favored | the probability of Napoleon’s election, and we | have no doubt that that individual will be the first President of the French republic. Fears are entertained that if the. Prince be elevated yo that high office, he will seek to be emperor at no distant day, and follow as near as can be the example of his illustrious relative in times past ; but we think without good foundation. Thus tar, at all events, the prince has shown himself to be a man of very ordinary ability, and were it not for the halo of glory attached to his name, we ques- tion very much if he ever would have been referred ‘oin connection with the presidency. His elec- 1on will, undoubtedly, favor the progress of re- publicanism in Europe; and as tong as universal suflrage prevails in France, we do not think he will have it in his power to cause much injury to | that country, We are extremely desirous to see the election terminated; for if that event were over, peeceably and quietly, we think the French repub- lie would be safe, and that every year afterwards would witness the establichment of a similar form of government by the people of other countries, until the whole of Europe would be a great family of republics, and in the enjoyment of all the rights, privileges, and blessings which self-government confers on mankind—such as we see and expe- rience in the Uvited States. As soon as this elec: tion shall have taken place, the democrats of Ger- many will be animated with new hopes, and be fortified with renewed strength. Let Germany and France be republics, and the rest of Europe will soon fall into the ranks. From Ireland there 1s nothing very special.— Emigration 1s taking off all who are able to leave its shores, and fever and famine threaten to com- mit their ravages on those who remain. The con- viction of Martin has been affirmed, on appeal to the judges ; and preparations were being made, at the dote of the last accounts, to make a final appeal to the House of Lords. His case assumes a double importance, from the fact that the grounds on which he made his ppeal are the same as those relied upon by Smith O'Brien and others, for a reversal of the judgment passed upon them at the epecial commission. The tenor of the news brought by this steamship holds out the prospect that Europe is ina state of gradual transition. The public mind seems every- where to be settling im the convictioa that great and mighty changes are on the eve of taking place — that old things are passing away, and new oars taking their place. The process is slow, but we Unk it 1s sure and steady, Avorner Row ar Tug Orera House.—We have the particulars of the Inet émewte at the Opera House, but are compelled to omit them to-day, to wake room for more important matter. We ad- vise Yankee Sull van and Tom Hyer to hire that establishment on the off nights, and give the pub- lie some specimens of the “ science,” as it 13, fol the benefit of the treasury. Sunrivan’s Exeress.—We are again indebted to Mr. Sullivan, the enterprising proprietor of Sulli van’s Express, for late Irish papers per the steam, ship Canada. More News rrom Evrors.—The Niagara may arrive at Boston to-day, but the terrible storms that the Canada encountered may have impeded her progress somewhat.

In the first place, the farce of “ Open House’’ waa performed in the best manner, by the ex- cellent company who have for so many nights gained the unanimeus approval ef the audience who have seen it. Next op the bill was the grand allegorical di- yertisement ot * Liberty,” in which M’me Monplaicir has ro eminently sueceeded, but which was omitted on account of the sudden indisposition of that lady — Abandsome apology was made for the omission, and the farce of‘ Box and Cox” was substituted, Mr Daw- | sop and Mr. Chapman per-onating the principal cha- | racters. ‘Then followed the little comedy ot “ The Fol- lies of the Night,” in which Miss Rose Telbin appear. edas the Duchess de Chertres. She was well received, and ber acting. as wellas that of Mr. Dawson and Mr. Walcot, received many complimentary demonstra tions. The lovers of the ballet were not altezether disappointed, as the Monplaisir troupe | their grand comic ballet of ‘ Love, Despai | paigne? This evening is eet apart at the Park for the Benefit of Mons. H. Monplaisir, Bowery Tuxatne.—Usually, just before the Christ | mas holidays is the dullest season of the year with | theatre; but the remarkable attractions which have | this searon, been set forth at the Bowery, have kept it gpl every evening, Not many years ago, it was thought quite @ feat for a man to put his head into some mangy worn out old lion's mouth; but now adays all that is changed, and people would turn up their noses at such a diepiay, when the truly daring avd wonderful feats | ef Herr Driesbach and his animals are to beseen. His four-footed friends are hona fide epizited aud ferocious animels, as any one, save the Herr, would fiad out to their cost, were they to attempt to “rouse the sleeping lion.”’ It is certainly wonderful, even in th of | wonders, to eee how fearlessly he controls the! ee tempers, and Low, at his slightest look, the animals obey him. No ove could euppose that so much {ntelii- gence waa to be found in them, as he has developed by & patient and fearless course of training. We under- stand be will shortly exbibit his late acquisition of the panther from the banks of the Mohawk, who is already thoroughly convinced by the Herr’s arguments, of the policy of making bis first appearance on the staze. What with the animals, the dancing of Cioce: and Smith, and the pleasant farces nightly en the Bowery, it is not surprising that the howe is filled every evening. Broapway Txratnke.—Sheridan’s comedy “The School for Scandal,” which has always ranked so high upon the stage, was brought out here last evening with much success, the dramatis persone embracing the names of the most prominent who are attached ‘o the excellent stock company engaged at this fashion. able theatre. The part of Sir Peter Teazle, by Mr. Blake, was performed with great ability. Mr. Rich: ings, as St min Backbite, traly rich and hu- morous; while Crabtree, Hada’ . Wasan able ef: tort in his bestetyle. Miss F. Wallack, as Lady Tea- vie, eustaived the part with her usual cleverness; and Maria, by Mrs. Abbott, was also a good personation. ‘The cast, indeed, acquitted themselves in every re- tpect most creditably, and seldom has the piece been got in this city ,with better effect. The benefit of Mr. Kichings is Gxed for this evening,ou which occasion he presents @ most attractive bill. with @ brilliant cast of characters. The numerous admirers of his fine qualities as am actor, will doubtle of the occasion, to pay a deserved t and popularity upon the public boards Nationat Tuxatne.—The performances here, last evening, went off well before a crowded house, who ap- placded all the performers. Mr. and Mrs. Thorne have | reason to be much pleased with their reception at the National, as every evening of their engagement they have bad fall houses, Mr. Thorne, this evening, puts his name up for a benefit, and gives a mort attractive Dill, viz :—the drama of “ Monseigneur,” + Jack Shep- pard.” snd the “ Avenger,” and the famous burlesque of “ Mr. MacGreedy,” which serves to bring out Mr. Cpanfrau’s wonderful imitative faculties ao fully.

Burton’s Tueatre —This theatre is now on the rise, and the manager must be doing a cood business, if we msy judge from the fall and fashionable house he nightly recei and no wonder, as the pieces se- lected are of the most attractive kind. People will ficck to a place of amusement where they receive plenty for their money ; endo it is with Burton's Theatre— any one by paying fifty cents will always receive one dollar's worth of fun. Last evening the house was crowded, and the performances went off with un- hounded applause. The entertainments commenced with © The Tragedy Queen” This piece is not quite tractive ax some otbere, although it went off faror- ably. The next piece w: “Breach of Promise, oF Second Thoughts,” in which the inimitable acting of Mr. Burton, together with Mr. Johnson, Miss Chap- wan, Mrs. Vernon. Mrs. Knight, « company, are all £0 well and ably sustained in their re- tive parts. giving the audience the most perfet thfaction. ‘The cutertuinments concluded with the | fon d amusing piece called “ Where is Barnum?” in which Mr. Burton, Brougham, Johneon and. the balance of the company ere all that can be expected in | their reepective parts. This plece is one of the best for fun that Mr. Burton has placed before the public this season, and should be seen by all who love to laugh Guso'n's Farewsit Concent.—This highly cele- brated company of performers, under their talented lender.

Americ institute. | The stated monthly meeting of the Institute took place last evening, when the largest number of mem: bere ever known to aesemble, were present. The greag object of interest was the election of a successor te the late T. B Wakeman, who held the two offices of Superintendirg Agent and Corresponding Secretary, which election, it was supposed, would come off at this meeting. It soon become evident, however, that a majority of the members present we.e in favor o| portponement of the election, and this was the fiaal result of the meeting. Dr. Usverniit made some remarks on the life, cha- racter, and public services of Mr. Wakeman, the superintending agent, who was in fact considered the founder of the Institute, and the most zealous pro- moter of its interest After which, Ra Locxwoop, Exq , offered a series of resolutions, as a tribute to the memory of Mr, Wakeman. and a committee was appointed, consisting of Ralph Lockwood. John A. Sidell. Doctor Underhill, Philip Burrows and John Campbell, to report at the next meeting of the Institute, suitable demonstrations of respect, in commemoration of the distinguished « vices of the deceased in the cause of the [nstitute, and tbe national objects to which it is devoted. The reso- Jutions were seconded in an abl oh by Johm A. Sideil, Eeq , who, as one ot the original members, testi- fied to the eminent services and zeal of the departed secretary and agent. On motion of Judge Inaxis, the ordinary businoss of the Institute was laid on the table, for the purpose of taking up the subject of the election of a successor to Mr, Wakeman, when Alanson Nasb, Feq., made an elaborate speech, (in spite of numerous attempts to pot him dows.) to show the illegality of the right, claimed for about one hundred new members, admitted by the trustees during the late fair, to vote at this el ah replied to by Doctor David M. after which. a motion was made to adjourn, and oc: It is probable. from the aepect of affairs, that the [n- stitute is destined to be the soene of great excitement for some time to come. City Intelligence. Tne Cuorrna.—It will be seen. by the report below, that the cholera is on the inorease, but it is fortu- nately of a very mild type. Within the past thr days there have occurred fifteen néw cases, but nota single death.

WHITING, Health Officer. ‘The Sanitary Committee of the Board of Health pre- sented a report, yesterday afternoon, to the effect that there was no cholera in the city. It seems that the city may escape, if all the precautions are thoroughly prosecuted. So great was the alarm when this diseace ‘was first reported as baving appeared at Staten Island, that almost every one gave ae the use of vegetables, and the markets are now filled with them, The ad- herents of the water-cure system oppose all animal food, unlees it is known to be healthy at the time of elavghter, and seen by the consumer, Should such » rule be adopted, the slaughter houses would be pretty well crowded, to the total stoppage of all of the other business pursuits of lite. The city, probably, contains from ninety to an hundred thousand families, which would require cach separate head to attend daily at the slaughter house of the butcher from whom they purchared their meat.

The idea is as absurd asit is ridiculous. Many eminent physicians have pronounced oysters a most innocent food, whi ey are more nu- tricious than anything else ured.§ If persons are to be by the alarming reports which are circulated yy thoee who know nothing of the nature of the dis- ease they 40 much dread, and less of the human sys- tem, of which they profess to know so much, the whole people of the elty would soon bring themselves down to the etrietest regimen, and endeavor to subsist on bread and water. Many of the medical profession ha gided in raising the unnecessary alarm which exists, by talking of the horrors of the cholera, a case of which they never eawin their lives; and to show their dread of ‘he disease, for the eatiefaction of the people, exhibit a bag of camphor euspended tothe neck, as the only means of escepe. There is no case of cholera in this city, and wherefore such unnecessary alarm? The cases at Quarantine are exclusively among the passen- gers of the ship in which the disease was brought, none of which have proved fatal within the past three days.
