THE STATE PROSECUTIONS . The Abiteiisst Plka . —In reference to the reception of 1 Mb Plea by the Court , agsinst the wish and effort * x > I the Crown Lawyers , and in reference to the t&td \ hat it may have on the -whole proceedings , the Dvtitin Monitor of Monday has the following : — " The four-day mleto plead expires to-day , and it 1 b arranged that the ^ emnrrer will be ar « ned to-morrow . Onr readers are aware of the point to be ^ argued : it is whether the witnesses on whose evidence the Grand Jnry found the Bill of Indictment should have been gworn in oj > m Court , xxt before the Grand Jury . - " Tbii point is wised on tke 1 st and 2 d "Viet , c . 37 , previous lo "wfiJcQ act . all witnesses in Bills ol indictment were sworn in open Court , under the 56 th Geo Ill , c . 87 . " ' " . ..
** The Act « f "Victoria , bowerer * recites toat the practice of swearing witnesses in open Court caused delay and other inconveniences , and then goes on to enact as follows : — It is therefore enacted that in all caBes where bills of indictment are to be laid before Grand Juries in Ireland , for their consideration , the Clerk of the Crown at { he Assizes , and the Clerk ofihePeaceatJQ . uarier Sessions , or Mi or their deputy , shall endorse upon the back of each bill of indictment the name or names of the witness or witnesses for the crown in support of ' such bill , and send the same so endorsed to the Grand Jury ; and the foreman , or other member of the Grand Jury , twelve members of the Grand Jury being there at the time , shall , previous to the examination of any witness "whose name shall appear endorsed , administer to such "witness the oath or solemn affirmation required to ba taken by such witness . '
" Now , it will be pBrcfeived that no mention whatever is made , in the above clause , of the Court of Queerfs Scndi ; and this omission , it is argued by the Counsel for thB Traversers , is fatal to tke Bill of Indictment , because the witnesses should have been sworn in open Court , as provided by the 56 th Geo . III ., c 8 "—tfee subsequent Act of "Victoria making no allusion whatever to the Queen ' s 3 J = neh . " Should the Conrt decide with the Traversers , the Indictment will thereby be quashed , and the whole proceedings rendered cull and Tt . id—if , however , the decision be in favour of the Crown , then" the Tra-Tersfcrs will have to plead to the Indictment fortb-¦ wi th : but we understand that they have other motions in reserve .

This beinf the last day for the trav&rsers to comply ¦ with the order of the Conrt to join in the . demurrer put in by the crown to the pleas in abatement , and as some morion in reference to that proceeding was expected to be made , the conrt was filied from an early hour . At fonr o ' clock Mt O'Canoeil , Mr . John O'Connell , and the otitr rraversers . entered the hall of the -courts , and proceeded to the room occupied by them since the openiE £ of term .

The Attorney-Gas eral—I apprehend that the parties cmgtii to appear here in person , and not by alton-ey . These proceedings are most important , and I cannot takenponmyself to allow aBjihuig to take place with regard to them that approaches to anything like irregularity . Tcereis no gentleman , except the parties immediately concerned , authorised by the records of the court to hand in any documents of this nature . They ma j fee handed in dtbene esse now , and let the parties attend in person to-morrow morning , and let 4 t be taken as if they appeared to-day . And now I apply to your Lordships that the tlemnrrer may be argued tomorrow .
Mr . Fdrde ( solicitor to the parties )—My lords . I am quite taken by surprise by the application " the Attorney-General , and I submit that the course he ¦ wishes ahould be adopted istjpposed to the rule of the court . In the case of the Qaetn r . Bsgnell and others , in which I myself was theaeent , snd which was argued on the -2 nd of Xovember , 1 S 42 , -an order was mads for ** ie parties to join in demnntr "irithiQ fouT days . On the 26 th of 2 toTzznbt £ r following it was ordered that issue should be joined , and the caute * et down for argument in the next term ; in the meantime-books ef the proctedirjrs to be furnished to the judges at the joint expense of the partita . That was the order of the Court of Qieen * * Bench in this < 3 &e , and I apprehend yonr lordships will not depart from that ra ; e in the present case . Tbe defendants cave a right to ccmpaie the bocks of pr < c = tdlngs , r * they are bound by them . Mr . Justice Burton—Have you no counsel in court ,

Duffy , proprietor of the Nation newspaper- and surely the Attorney-General hsu no right to displace tt&t * ae , it having bttn fixed for hearing .
The Attorney-General &d& "be could not of course attempt to dictate to the court what should be done on the present occasion ; bat with every respect for the court , ie claimed it zs a right that co case should be heard until the ar 2 ument on the denmTrer was heard to-morrow . Be tmsted that it woaid cot be said that it was impossible to bring forward a ease -of this importance at the earliest period .

I"We really are sorry to learn that the health of Mr . Attorney-General Smith is giving -way under tbe severe labour and great mental anxiety consequent on the State prosecutions . Yesterday he was so unwell that leeches were Bpplied to his temples , ani his friends feel much anxiety respecting bis health . : Mr . Smith has many good points abeut him . He made his way to distinction in his profession by his own unaided industry and ability , and we cannot forget that his very first act as Attorney General was an act of leniency towards tbe press ; nor has he , even in the present prosecutions , singled the press out for separate prosecution , as Blackburne undoubtedly would have done-Mr . Smith was in Cour t this day , and looked exceedingly unwelL—Dublin Monitor , Monday .
TORT FOREBODINGS . Men begin to ask each other—men disposed to give ; ev « ry support to the administration of Sir Robert Peel , ; and to the Executive at the head of which is Lord de j Grey—is Government serious in ita prosecution of Mr . { O'Connell ? Are the means sufficient for the ends ? Are the tools suited to the woik ? Nay , some there be ; who go the length of doubting whether—supposing a \ conviction to be the result of a trial—a truckling and ' nnwortby compromise may not follow . These are j dangerouB and damaging questions—these are serious ¦ and awful doubts-, and the state of feeling which in- j duces the one , or generates the other , is ruinous to tbe ¦ Government , and may prove fitai to the country . — , Dublin Mail .

THE PREPARATIONS . Her Majesty ' s steam-ship Volcano has arrived in Kingstown harbour , having on board 600 cases of ball cartrioge and two light field pieces , with suitable ammunition . They will be deposited in the ordnance stores . ' The most formidable preparations which have yet met the eye are to be seen at Richmond Barracks , situate on the south aide of tbe city , a little btyond Kilmainham , which are being put in a state of tbe most complete fortification , with portholes , loopholes , embrasures , breastworks , and all the other works deemed
requisite by the science of war for successfully resisting the attacks of an enemy . Prevention is no doubt better than cure ; but really , after tbe experience of some few -weeks , and -when it ¦ was made as clear as noonday that the mere ordinary powers of thela » , if only asserted with dignity and firmness , were quite sufficient to repress any overt act of sedition , whether made manifest at monster meetings , or within tbe naked walls of the Conciliation Hall , these very imposing preparations" seem at best but calculated to excite alarm and distrust ameng the well-affacted portion of her Majesty's Irish subjects . —Times .
In the north , too , according to tbo Belfast ^ eicslelier , the authorities are " preparing" for the worst : — " The ordnance stores at Carrickfergus are at present nearly as full of implements of war as they 'were during tbe reign of Napoleon . A large quantity of provisions , consisting of beef , pork , and biscuits , have been stored' of late . Does the Government apprehend a siege !" THE SIGNAL FJRES . The DrcjJieda Const rjtive thus notices the spread of the signal fires iu the north : —
" Oar Ballyjamesduff correspondent informs n 3 that the Protestants of tbat neighbourhood were alarmed by the appearance of signal fires on the surrounding hills , as far as the eye could discern . The Protestants of the torrn , defining these signals as only a prelude to a general attack , assembled and prepared their fire arms , whilst these in the country barricaded their baubes , prepared ammunition , determined to act as their forefathers did . Now , we ask , what were the police or the authorities about , who did not immediately proceed to tbose fires aad scatter the rebel symbols to the wind ? We would impress on the Protestants to be flim , be prepared , but not rash—the poor deluded creatures who thus act are only the tools of more cautious but designing rebelB ; and are therefore more to be pitied than otherwise . " * In Cork , according to the Constitution : —
" Fires were again lighted in several parts of the county on Thnrsday night At C-irrigtwohill the preparation appear to ha" » e begun as early as one o ' clock , at which honr the T ^ uipenance Band ' . struck up , " and continued playing abont the Deigbbonrbood for the remainder of the day . The first fire was lighted nbout half-pa % t four o ' clock behind tbe house of the Repeal Warden , and the sunal was immediately answered from tbe surrounding hills . Over towards Agbada , and along through Cloyne down to Ynughal , they arose in thick succession , and in the line of view between Middleton and Coik a gentleman residing within a few miles of tbe city counted at the same moment no fewer than forty-flva They seem to have consisted of
straw , for in ten minutes after he had counted them the blaze diet ] away , and they were txtincL The police visited six in his neighbourhood , but found only embers , and a few straws . Everything was quiet , tbe houses closed , and the people apparently in bed . Wo h ive heard that the fires on S iturday night were ordtred in the chapels a fortnight previously , but that the people ^¦ ere ei goined to secrecy . We cannot Bay bow this may be , but it is regarded as singular that the Temperince Bands , which in many places had been silent for four or five weeks , were very generally out on that evening ( in Innoshinnon , for instance , where , about seven o ' clock , they snHied forth playins Gnrryoirtn I ) and it is stated that the first fire lighted in tbe parish of Billinadee was in the priest ' s lawn . "
MURDEROUS ATTACK . Mr . John Byrne , one of the coront-rs for the county of Louth , held an inquest at Toorns , on the Carrickmacross-road , which was adjourned to Tuesday , tbe 14 tb inst-, t <* be held in the town of Louth , upon the body of Hicholaa Byrne . Mr . O Rsilly , magistrate , and Mr . Little , chief constable , were present at the investigation . After a respectable jury bad been sworn , several witnesses were examined , when it appeared in evidence that the houBe of the deceased was attacked by a body of men on the night of the first of November last , when the family were in bed ( having previously broken the windows of several houses in the neighbourhood ) . The deceased and his son got op to defend their hoUBB , When
he Waa knocked down by a Wow of a Stick , which fractured his skull , of which ho lingered until the 11 th msL , when he died . After receiving the blow of the stick , another person made a stab with a knife at him , wMcb , however , he escaped , the knife having only stnek the dooT . J Dr . Gartlant and another medical gentleman , who had previously attended the deceased , deposed that the fracture was the cause . of death . The Jury , after deliberation , returned a verdict of Wilful Murdtr aeainst Thomas HiDchy and two other persons , whose names it would not be prudent to mention at present Hinchy was committed by the coroner . We are informed that two o £ tbb persons engaged in the said murder were arrested , and bailed , and of course have absconded !—Drogheda Conservative .
" THE LIBERATOR ' S WJELFABE . " It -was announced some mouths since , says the Times that it was the intention of the heads * f the Roman church to have the naroe of Mr . O'Connell inserted in tbe Bock of Common Prayer , immediately after that of Her Majesty . Whether the design has been actually carried into effect or not there are no means of ascertaining ; but the followicg paragraph , extracted from the Freeman ' s Journal would imply that such was really the case , and the more so as a similar announcement was made in -a late number of a Queen ' s County paper : —
" On last Sunday the holy and adorable sacrifice of the mass was offered up in the parish church of Balliatra , county of Donegal , by tbe Rev Maurice Tunney , Kom ; . rj Catholic clergyman , for the spiritual and temporal benefit of the Liberator . The Rev . Gentleman was joined by the entire congregation , who seemed , on that occasion , to redouble their fervour and devotion . "
RESPITE . The Limerick Reporter gays : — " We have to announce , and we do so with feelings of thtf utmost satisfaction , that the unfortunate men now Jyieg in onr connty gaol , under sentence of death , have been further reEpitt-d to the Ifith of April . Indeed we may say , although r > ot on anthority , that the sentence will never be carried into tfiect ; aDd that probably , in the end , their fate may be far different from what every one expected . "
IMPORTATION OP AlliS . Mr . Carta , on the part of the Customs , applied to the magistrates for a summons , under the new Arms' A ct , against the master of tbe ship William Fn > zsr , fromLc ndon , now under se zare for ^ having concealed insh » st vessel some guns , Bwords , ani pistols , and importing the same witkont the necessary license .

This 6 ay iho long " argument" was heard between the lawyers , as to the sufficiency oi insufficiency of the " Plea in abatement . " It occupied all-tbe day ; and was tncomiEonly dry . The Court took time to con- j Eider ; and -was to pronounce judgment on Wednesday morning , it was surmised that the decision would be affainst the traveraers } and if so , it was expected that they would plead in bar ; that ia , say they were " Not ] Guilty , " and thus put the question tothe " issue ' " It w& 8 ; also expected that the Attorney-General would Beet to ] have an « arlj day fixed , for the trial ; probably in the ' sittings after term ; though no doubt this point will be i contested strongly with him , on the ground of insufficient time to prepare the defence ' '

profoundert respect , and the most dutiful acqufecceDCe , the resolutions adopted at the meeting of our venerated Archbishops and Bishops—the sacred nnd venerated hierarchy of the Catholic church in Ireland ; these Moat Rev . and Very Rev . Prelates possess our entire veneration , respect , and Christian submission to their apostolic authority . " Resolved—That the Catholic laity of Ireland hold in the utmost abhorrence any attempt to influence our venerated clergy by tendering to them the filthy mammon of this world—that laity will universally support an < 4 uphold them on tbeir / rejection of any specieB of state provision—firmly convinced as they are that tbe controul of the church by the state is calculated only to degrade and contaminate the sacred office of religion , to diminish the utility of the clergy , and to introduce hirelings into the place of the sainted pastors of faithful flocks .
" Resolved—That the Catholic laity of Ireland , who never deserted their venerated Clergy , even ill the midsfc of pains , penalties , confiscations , and death ; gratefully acknowledge tbat their clergy ( although against them persecution most vehemently raged ) never deserted their faithful followers ; and they are convinced tbat all the bribes of England could not purchase off one single Catholic clergyman from the people throughout this entire isle . " With respect to the Catholic clsrgy of Ireland ( continued Mr . O'Connell ) , this was emphatically the time to
speak out—rthey had chOBen the period , and had Bpoken out manfully . They bad declared their intention of refusing any Government allowance : that which peopie refused least was a monied provision , but they would not have any of it . ( Cheers . ) What had religion to do with the mammon of tbe world ? What connexion in Holy Writ , and tbe traditions of the Fathers , brtween mammon and religion ? Y « s , there was a connexion , but it was the connexion of antagonism—the opposition of one to the other—tbe warning voice never to be , stained by tbe foul lucre of gain .

THE F 1 NSOE TRAGEDY . The following rather satisfactory account of the state of the sufferers is given in an evening paper : — 41 Mr . Waller sustains his injuries witti courage , calmness , snd fortitude , worthy of all admiration . In mind , he is as calm and composed as in tbe days vt youth and health , and his wounds are progressively yielding to skilful treatment and tbe btreDglb of a constitution naturally healthy and robust Mrs . Waller , though suffering much from tbe mental anguish of witnessing the sufferings of her husband and siBter , U gradually convalescing . The condition of Miss Ver * ker though not without hope , is still very precarious and critical ; and , though favourable symptoms have , shown themselves , cannot be yet sairt to have regained her couseiousness or sensibility . The honest , loyal , old butler is
still suffering severely from the contusipns and bruis « s he ifcctived in defence of his master and family ; but from the nature of his hurts , he is likely to be soon able to handle his weapons again , if so gooc a came rt quire it . The name of this worthy has been kindly furnished us . and , in announcing it with all respect and honour as William Larkin , we introduce to the public a fellow-subject and fellow-countryman well dt serving of public admiration and gratitude—well entitled not merely to the celebrity of a brave and honest man—at an attached and faithful Bervant—but of such reward as tbe puWc munittcencu should confer on singular merit , f jt the encouragement of such principles and conduct . We throw out this hint as a feeler , and shall take other occasions to improve it . The recovery of Mr . Braddell , we understand , progresses slowly but satisfactorily . ''—Timee , Wednesday .
THE POPULAR MEAStRE . " It appears by thu subjoined paragraph , extracted from a G . ilway paper of Saturday , that a partial solution is given of the hitherto unexpiained assemblage of a naval armament on the Irish coast . The fact of it beiDg fsund necessary by the authorities to require tbe anl of a ; brace of war steamers , in addition to the assistance of horse , foot , aililltsry , and police , for the purpose of enforcing tbe collection of the poor-rate , afftrds pregnant proof of the ' admirable working ' of this most obnoxious measure :

Oats aad Beans uo alteration .
Bradford Markets , Thursday , November 23 . — Wool . —There is hardly so much animation in this trade as a few weeks past , and buyers are timid to operate at the present high prices . Yarn . —Yarns remain without any alteration in demand or prices . Piece . ~ T . he demand for goods has not been very extensive ; indeed , the weather has been such as to dotev the merchants from attending , and may in some measure account for the slackening . Prices are firm .
State op Trade—Owing to the period of the year , and perhaps , in some degree also , to the unfavourable state of the weather , the market yesterday was dull , especially for yarn , which is at present in very Iimite 4 demand , and generally declining ia price . This is particularly the case in those qualities usually taken by the Gorman buyers , who have been for some * time past very inactive ; but the higher numbers of mule yarn have been in soma request for the Indian market ? , and havB fully maintained their price In goods there was little change to noticethe
— demand being generally Iimitedj except for low shirtings and printing cloth ( which last is somewhat influenced by the prospect of a generalturnout of weavers at Ashton-under-Lyne ) . We are glad to learn that there is , at present , a very extensive demand for grey mousselines de laiae , which have now almost supplanted the handloom calicoes formerly manufactured in the neighbourhood of Colnef and are become , when printed , a very important article of export to Germany and the United States , as well of domestic consumption . —From the Manchester Guardian of Wednesday .
