ENGLISH EXTRACTS. (from the electric telegraph company.) [From the Dublin Pilot, August 7.]
At 4 o'clock yesterday, warrants were sent from the Castle to the Governor of Newgate, fully .committing Mressrs. Brennan and Meaoey; and Dr. West, for higlrtreason. Immediately upon the arrival of the new warrants (he parties were conducted to the
office of the prison, and there, in the presence of Sir Edward Stanley, Mr. Sraythe, the Governor, and others, informed of their import. Mr. Meaney is charged with having combi- , ned, conspired, confederated, and agreed with R. J. Verner, and divers other persons, to levy war against her Majesty, and deprive her of her just style, right, and title of Queen of these realms. The charges against Mr. Brennan and Dr. West are in the same terms, but onrtting the name of "Richard J. Verner" in the warrants. It is thought that the Crown will endeavour to sustain the charge of conspiracy, by giving proof of the proceedings et a meeting of the presidents of the clubs, held, here upwards of a fortnight since, when Mr. S. OBrien proposed 'a series of resolutions, which were signed by Messrs. Meaney, Brennan, and West, in their capacity of Presidents, and that their writings in such capacity, and the recent acts of Smith OBrien in the south, will be proved as overt acts in common against all the parties. The Mr. Verner alluded to is a brother-in-law of John Mitchel. At 6 o'clock a full committal was also forwarded against Dr. M'Carron, of New York, for high treason. It is supposed that a special commission will be issued, at the close of this month, for the trial of all political offenders, except those in custody before the passing of the late Act, and application has been made to the Lord Lieutenant on the part of Messrs Meaney, Brennan and West, for copies of the informations, but no reply has, up to this time, been received. -This day Mr. Bergin, of New York, and Mr. Marrow, editor of the Drogheda Argus, have been lodged in Newgate. Mr. S. OBrien has made over all his property to his family. His father-in-law, (Mr. Gabbett, of Limerick,) and his own family, are said to be in a ssate of very great affliction, at the probable results of his conduct. Some curse Dr. Griffin, -of Limerick, whose advice caused him to change his mind, and continue in the agitating line after his relinquishment consequent on the rnal-treatment he received from his followers at the celebrated soiree in this town (Limerick).
