alarming riots in the city of Philadelphia, which the 

 apathy or weakness of the authorities allowed to remain 

 unchecked for three entire days. The rioters were the 

 native Protestant Americans, and the Irish Catholic set- 

 tlers in the city; they were, therefore, animated by 

 religious antipathies, which are said to have been exas- 

 perated by the recent speeches at the Repeal meetings, 

 exciting the hatred of the Catholic Irish against the 

 Anglo Saion-race. No riots of such a character and 

 extent have occurred since the well-known « No Popery 

 riots of Lord George Gordon in 1780, and the results m 

 this ca<e have been equally disastrous, several lives having 

 been lost, and two Catholic churches, a nunnery, two 

 Catholic school*, and other public buildings having been 

 destroyed by fire. The last accounts state that order has 

 been restored, and that the amount of property destroyed 

 will probably not be less thm 200,000 dollars.

The Irish State Trials after nearly four months' 

 duration have at length been brought to a close, and the 

 Court of Queen's Bench has pronounced its sentence on 

 all the traversers, with the exception of the Rev. Mr. 

 Tierney, who was not called up for judgment. The sen- 

 tence upon Mr. O'Connell is twelve months' 

 imprisonment and two thousand pounds fine. 

 The sentence upon Mr. John O'Connell, Mr. Duffy, 

 Mr. Ray, Dr. Gray, Mr. Barrett, and Mr. Steele, 

 is— nine months 1 imprisonment, and a fine of fifty pounds 

 each. Mr. O'Connell is further ordered to give sureties 

 to keep the peace for seven years, himself in 5000/., and 

 two sureties in 2500/. each. The other traversers for the 

 same period to give securities in 1000/. each, and 

 two sureties for 500/. In order to make our summary 

 complete, it is necessary> state that the motion for a 

 new trial, which was argued at great length last week, 

 was decided on Friday. The four Judges were equally 

 divided in the case of Mr. Tierney ; and one of them, 

 Mr. Justice Perrin, was of opinion that the newspaper 

 evidence ought not to have been admitted in the case of 

 Mr. O'Connell. He thought, however, that there was 

 ample evidence, independent of the newspapers, to war- 

 rant and sustain the verdict ; but as he could not under- 

 take to say whether the Jury would have thought so like- 

 wise, he was disposed to allow Mr. O'Connell a new 

 trial. Mr. Justice Crampton disagreed with Mr. Jus- 

 tice Perrin in the case of Mr. O'Connell, and agreed with 

 him in the case of Mr. Tierney ; indeed, so strongly did 

 he feel that the latter gentleman ought to have been 

 acquitted, that unless the verdict could be set aside as 

 against him, without being also set aside against the 

 others, he would grant a new trial to all the traversers, 

 rather than deprive Mr. Tierney of his rights. Mr. 

 Justice Burton and the Chief Justice, on the other hand, 

 concurred in the opinion that the verdict in regard to all 

 the traversers was good in law, and that they had pro- 

 perly been found guilty on all the issues. The motion 

 for a new trial was therefore refused generally. The 

 Attorney-General then announced, that after what had 

 fallen from two of the Judges in regard to Mr. Tierney, 

 he should not caU for judgment upon him. Mr. Justice 

 Crampton, upon this, said that as Mr. Tierney had been 

 released, he should at once concur with the Chief Jus- 

 tice and Mr. Justice Burton in refusing a new trial to the 

 other traversers. Having failed on this point, the coun- 

 sel for the traversers on Monday opened their arguments 

 for an arrest of judgment, their objections being chiefly 

 directed to the caption of the indictment, and to the too 

 general and vague character of the different counts. The 

 discussion of these points occupied the Court for three 

 days, when the Judges unanimously refused the rule for 

 arrest of judgment. The traversers then applied to the 

 Court to allow the sentence which they might think frt 

 to pronounce not to take effect until they have had an 

 opportunity of obtaining judgment on a writ of error, 

 which they intend forthwith to prosecute in the House 

 of Lords. This application was refused on Thursday, 

 and the Court immediately passed sentence. 



From France we have accounts of the great debate on 

 the supplementary credits. As anticipated some days 

 ago, the pamphlet of the Prince de Joinville has supplied 

 ample materials for an angry discussion, and the leaders 

 of the different parties of the Opposition have coalesced for 

 the purpose of making a combined attack on the foreign 

 policy of the Cabinet. The affairs of Tahiti, New Zea- 

 land, China, and South America, have been again brought 

 in succession before the Chamber, and from the warmth 

 with which they have been discussed, it is evident that 

 they have lost none of their interest as party questions. 

 The main point of the Opposition speakers apP eared '° 

 be the exposure of the alleged sacrifice of French in- 

 terests, in order to maintain an understanding "»»*"*- 

 land ; while the object of the Ministry was to show that 

 if they had avoided all cause of disagreement with i this 

 country, they had as carefully abstained roin a of 



Court.— The Queen, accompanied by the Pnacj of 

 Wales and the Princesses, arrived in town on Monday, 

 from Claremont. Prince Albert had arrived previously, 

 in order to attend the rehearsal of the Concert of An- 

 cient Music. On Tuesday the Prince attended the 

 triennial festival of the Eton Montem, travelling to and 

 from Slough by a special train on the Great Western 

 Railway. In the evening, the Queen and His Royal 

 Highness honoured the Italian Opera with their pre- 

 sence. On Wednesday the Queen gave a dinner at 

 Buckingham Palace to the Queen Dowager and the 

 Directors of the Concert of Ancient Music, after which 

 Her Majesty and her guests attended the performance 

 of the Concert at the Hanover-square Rooms. On 

 Thursday the Queen and Prince walked m the gardens 

 of the Palace. The Queen Dowager, it is said, will leave 

 England for Antwerp on Monday on her way to the north 

 of Germany. The Ministerial papers state that the 

 King of the French will arrive in this country on a visit 

 to Her Majesty, towards the latter end o September. 

 The King will land at Portsmouth, and will be accom- 

 Danied bv a numerous suite of officers and attendants.— 

 The retrenchments in the Royal household still continue, 

 and the annual gratuity of materials for a dinner in com- 

 memoration of the Queen's birthday has this year been 

 withheld from the servants at W indsor Castle. Upon 

 all former anniversaries of the birthday of the Sovereign, 

 the labourers in the Royal gardens have been pifeBentcd 

 with a gratuity of 5*., in addition to half a day s holiday , 

 but this year Vney have been deprived of their accus- 

 tomed Crown present, but the half-holiday was given as
