Nctos of tfrc £ ga reft. 



The trial of Mr. O'Connell and the other state pri- 

 soners, which has for so many months occupied public 

 attention, has been brought to a conclusion unexpected, 

 it would seem, by the Government and by the prisoners 

 themselves. The House of Lords, or rather the law 

 lords to whom the House had delegated its powers as a 

 Court of Appeal, have reversed the sentence of the Irish 

 Court of Queen's Bench by a majority of 3 to 2. and 

 Mr. O'Connell and his fellow-traversers are consequently 

 released from the prison in which they have already been 

 confined for 13 weeks. The law lords who voted for the 

 reversal of the sentence were Lord Denman, Lord Cot- 

 tenham, and Lord Campbell ; those who *Tte3 against 

 it were the Lord Chancellor, and Lord Brengham. Lord 

 Langdale was absent, but it is understood that if he had 

 attended he would have voted with the majority. Seve- 

 ral of the lay lords who attended the House were pre- 

 pared to vote on the question of judgment, but Lord 

 WharnclifFe, the Lord President of the Council, in- 

 treated them to abstain from voting, on the ground that, 

 though their opinion might be at variance with the 

 majority of the law lords, the character of the House 

 might suffer as a Court of Appeal if those who had not 

 heard the whole case, and who, in fact, were not qualified 

 to judge of its legal merits, should take any part in its 

 decision. Previous to the judgment of the House, the 

 nine Judges attended and gave their opinions on the 

 points of law submitted to them. The general bearing 

 of these questions was on the validity of a judgment ex- 

 pressed in general terms upon the whole of an indict- 

 ment containing good counts and bad, and whether sucb 

 a judgment could be reversed upon a writ of error. In 

 answering them the Judges unanimously decided that 

 those counts which the Irish Court of Queen's Bench 

 pronounced to be unexceptionable were bad in law, so 

 that on these points the English Judges and the Irish 

 Judges were at issue. On the other counts the English 

 Judges could not agree. Two of them, including Baron 

 Parke, were of opinion that a judgment given on bad 

 and good counts ought to be reversed, while Lord Chief 

 Justice Tindal, and the six other judges, decided that 

 the judgment was not affected by the bad counts, and that 

 therefore it ought not to be reversed by a writ of error. 

 In confirmation of this view the Judges stated that it was 

 in conformity with a general impression which has pre- 

 vailed upon the subject in Westminster Hall, from the 

 time of Lord Mansfield to the present period. The judg- 

 ment of the House of Lords, however, is at direct vari- 

 ance with this impression, and as this was the first occa- 

 sion on whic'.i the question had ever been presented to 

 the House, the result may possibly have an important 

 influence on the future administration of the law.— After 

 a long-protracted Session, Parliament was prorogued on 

 Thursday, by commission. The Speech from the throne 

 presents no topic of interest, except the announcement 

 that friendly relations have been re-established with 

 France, and that the questions which threatened to dis- 

 turb them have been settled in a manner consistent with 

 the honour and interest of both countries. Allusion is 

 made to the legislative labours of the past Session, but 

 only one Act, the Bank Charter Bill, is mentioned by 

 name. There is not a word on the affairs of Ireland, or 

 on any of the other questions of exciting interest, which 

 have recently occupied attention. In the Commons, Sir 

 R. Peel renewed the assurances of the Speech on our 

 foreign relations, stating that the Tahiti affair had been 

 satisfactorily arranged, but declining at present to enter 

 into details. 



From France we have the despatches of the Prince de 

 Joinviile and Marshal Bugeaud, describing their recent 

 victories in Morocco. No advance has yet been made 

 towards a settlement of differences, but it is expected that 

 the Emperor, seeing the hopelessness of further resist- 

 ance, will accede to the terms already offered by the 

 French Government At all events, it appears that hos- 

 tilities will be suspended for the present, and that the 

 occupation of the island of Mogador will terminate the ^ 



campaign for this year, or until the effect produced upon 

 the Emperor by the event can be ascertain^.

Court. — Her Majesty, Prince Albert, a»tl the Royal 

 family continue at Windsor Castle, and are nv .excellent ■""" 

 health. The Prince of Prussia arrived on Satgrdfcy on \K3Jt 

 a visit to the Queen, and on Sunday attenofcF liivine 

 Service in the private chapel of the Castle. On Monday 

 the Queen, accompanied by Prince Albert and the Prince 

 of Prussia, took an airing in an open carnage. In the 

 morning his Royal Highness and Prince Albert shot 

 over the Royal preserves. On Tuesday their Royal 

 Highnesses inspected the Royal buckhounds. Her 

 Majesty afterwards held a Privy Council, which was. 

 attended by all the Ministers and great Officers of State. 

 At this Council the Queen's speech on closing the session, 

 of Parliament was agreed upon. The Queen afterwards 

 rode out in a pony carriage, accompanied by Prince 

 Albert and the Prince of Prussia. On Wednesday Her 

 Majesty walked out in the grounds around the Castle, 

 and afterwards rode in the garden chair. The Prince of 

 Prussia and his suite took their departure from town on 

 the same day. On Thursday Prince Albert came to 

 town to attend the review in Hyde Park.- After the 

 review his Royal Highness returned to Windsor. The 

 Prince of Prussia paid his farewell visit. to the Queen 

 yesterday afternoon, and will leave .Windsor this day. 

 The christening of the infant Prince took place yesterday 

 in the private chapel of the Castle ; the details of the 

 ceremony, and of the banquet given in the evening by 

 Her Majesty in honour of the event, will be given in our 

 next. The visitors to Her Majesty during the week, in 

 addition to the Prince of Prussia and his suite, have been 

 Count Nesselrode and his son, the Duke of Wellington, 

 the Earl of Aberdeen, the Earl of Liverpool, Earl and 

 Countess of Jersey and Lady C. Villiers, Earl and 

 Countess of Westmoreland, Earl and Countess Delawarr 

 and Lady Mary West, Viscount Melbourne, the Baron 

 de Berg, and Sir Robert and Lady Peel. Lord Charles 

 Wellesley (Clerk Marshal) has succeeded the Hon. 

 Colonel Grey as Equerry in Waiting on the Queen, and 

 Major- General Sir E. Bowater has succeeded Colonel 

 Wylde as Equerry in Waiting on Prince Albert. 



Her Majesty's Marine Excursion. — On Monday, 

 four of the Royal carriiges, and sixteen horses, with a 

 number of pointer dogs, were shipped on board the steam 

 ship London, for Dundee, and are to reach Blair Athol 

 Castle by Monday next. The present arrangements are 

 for the Queen and Prince to take their departure from 

 the Castle on Monday, and embark at Woolwich on the 

 same day in the Victoria and Albert yacht, proceeding 

 direct to Dundee, without touching at any of the ports 

 on the eastern coast. It is expected that the Princess 

 Royal will accompany the Queen, and that the rest of the 

 Royal children will remain at the Pavilion at Brighton 

 until Her Majesty's return. It is said that Her Ma- 

 jesty will return from Scotland early in October, when, 

 notwithstanding what has been stated to the contrary, 

 there is reason to expect that the King of the French will 

 come over to England on a visit to Her Majesty. After 

 this it is said that the Queen and Prince Albert will 

 honour the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk with a visit at 

 Arundel Castle. 



The Prince of Prussia. — His Royal Highness, 

 accompanied by the Duke of Beaufort and the members 

 of his suite, left Badminton at an early hour on Saturday 

 morning, for the Chippenham station of the Great 

 Western Railway, where a special train was in attend- 

 ance to convey the Royal party to Bristol. On arriving 

 at that city, the Prince proceeded to the Dock basin, 

 for the purpose of inspecting the Great Britain colossal 

 steam-ship. His Royal Highness then visited Leigh 

 Court, the seat of Mr. Miles, and inspected that gentle- 

 man's fine collection of paintings. From thence the 

 Royal party went to Kingsweston, the seat of Mr. Miles, 

 jun., M.P., and subsequently drove to Blaise Castle, the 

 seat of Mr. Harford, where they partook of a dejeuner, 

 and afterwards returned to Bristol, where a special traia 

 was in readiness to convey his Royal Highness to Slough. 

 The Prince arrived at Windsor Castle in two hours and 

 a half, on a visit to the Queen, and remained at the 

 Castle until Wednesday, when he returned to town, and 

 took up his residence at the Prussian Embassy, in Carl- 

 ton Gardens. On his arrival the Prince visited the 

 manufactory of Messrs. Austen and Seely, in the New 

 Road; the Chinese Exhibition, the Slate Manufactory 

 in the Belvidere Road, Mr. Babbage's Calculating 

 Machine at Somerset House, and the Surrey Zoological 

 Gardens ; and in the evening was present at the perform- 

 ances at Astley's, and at the Lyceum. On Thursday 

 His Royal Highness, accompanied by Prince Albert, the 

 Duke of Cambridge, and the Duke of Wellington, re- 

 viewed the Household troops in Hyde Park. After the 

 review the Prince proceeded to the House of Lords to 

 witness the prorogation of Parliament, and in the course 

 of the day visited the Establishment of Messrs. Mor- 

 timer and Hunt, in Bond-street, the Model Prison, St. 

 Paul's Cathedral, Guildhall, the General Post-office, the 

 Polytechnic Institution, &c. His Royal Highness left 

 town for Windsor yesterday, on a farewell visit to the 

 Queen, and will embark this evening at Woolwich for 

 the Continent. 



Cabinet Councils.— On Tuesday a Cabinet Council 

 was held at the Foreign Office, which was attended by 

 all the Ministers, those who were absent in the country 

 having come to town for the purpose of attending , t . 

 The Council sat 2£ hours, and at its close the Ministers 

 left town for Windsor to attend a Privy Councd. On
