The Irish Government has obtained a verdict against the publisher

of the Dublin Pilot. The trial commenced on Tuesday last; and on Wednesday the Jury (an exclusively Protestant one) returned a verdict of Guilty, but strongly recommended the defendant to mercy. The Foreman was desirous of mentioning the reasons for this recommendation, but was checked by the Judge, who observed that it was unnecessary to state them. Had the Foreman been permitted to speak, he would probably have ex- pressed the Jury's disapprobation of the course pursued by the Government; which contented itself by laying hold of a mere copier, while the great offender, the avowed author of the libel, stood before them in the attitude of triumphant defiance, reassert- ing and justifying all that it contained.
