DECEMBER OVERLAND MAIL! (From the London Mail, Debember 6th.) GENERAL REMARKS:
The news conveyed by the present Mail will be found in many particulars extremely interesting.
As our renders are no doubt anxious to be mude" acquainted with the progress of events in Ireland, we proceed at once to notree very; briefly, whất: han? transpired in that country since the date of or for mer despatch, especially in so far as relates to the pro- secution of the State Trials.
