Albany Argus, (Extro) Aíarch 23.Thestenm-ship Caledonia airived at Boston on Friday. The most important formation is the conclusión of the State Trials, and a verdict of GUILTY against Mr. O'Conarll and the otlier traversers. The judgment is to be declaïed on the l&th of April- preceediug which a motion in urrest of judgment will be made. From Wilmer's Liverpool News Letter. Conviclion of O'Connell.Vel the Irish Trials have at length been concluded, and ech of the Traversers has been found guüty of the charge preferred against him by the Governtnent, but as yet the country 'is ignorant as to ihe mode or eximt of punishmenl lo be awarded - sentence being deferred until next term. In the mean time a thoueand rumors and spcculationa are hazarded as to what effect the trial will have upon the condition of Ireland, and the future movement of the Repealers. Some incline to the belief that no punishment will be inflicted, and contend tnat the moral effect will, on that account be greater than the greatest torture- that the governtnent in inetiinting the proseculions, did so not so much with the intention of punishmenl, as lo try the legality of the Repeal meetings, and having sueceeded in obtaining a verdict, are content to paes over what has alteady occurred, being in a condition to stop nt once nny further proceedings. Others contend that the conduct of O'Connell during the next few montha will determine the question of punishment- that if mild nnd subdued in bis tone no further notice will be taken of the matter. But all these opiniona are merely speculat.ive. In the mean time Mr. O'Connell has, on behalf of himself and his companions, protested against the verdict, and has intimated that eo eoon aa sentence Bhall have bijen passed, ho will have the matter supmitted to rfje wholebody of Judges in Ireland, and that if their decisión should be unfavorable, he wi'.l appeal to the House of Lords before he will submit. If we might hazard an opinión weshould say that he will be spared all ihis trouble - for in otir opimon, no punisbnient will be nflicted - and paiticually fmatters should progress aa quietly as they have done eince the conclusión oí' the trials- for the whole country, which was in a state of the utmost exciteraent before, is cuw as calm as an 'unruffled Jake. Th trials laeted twenly-five days! Mr. O'Conjjei.l ia in London, vhere be was to be complimented wiih a public Dinner, at the Covent Garder Theatre on the 12th of Marcb.
