Mr. O'Connell made his appearance at the National ITeion on Sun- day last—" the better day the better decd." He delivered a rt;eummendittory of peace awl good fidlowship, of live columns: long. He is extrt mely anxious to prevail on the Orang,emen to join him in a combined attenlpt to bring about the repeal.

On Friday last week, the Grand Jars. of 'Wexford threw out a second 1;ill which had been preferred against *Captain Graham, of Newtown- harry notoriety. It appears that the Court, on the ap:.iication of the Jury, allowed two persons to be examined, whose names were not on the back of the bill, mid this without communicating either with the Crown counsel or solicitor. As the Grand Jury decides, and is meant to decide, not only on expiate evidence, but on such capade evidence as is specially submitted to them, this departure from that ordinary rule excited the notice of Mr. Greene, the King's Counsel. The Judge seems to have been in a "bit of a passion," as his countrymen express it, at Mr. Greene's notice of the irregularity. No motion was made respecting it. On Saturday, a sergeant of Graham's party was put to the bar, but instantly acquitted. The applause from the Grand Jury box was very marked.

aster is n custody.—Dablin Morning Register.
