      More Evictions.—The Sub-Sheriff Of The K...

      oqa ojfc On the following night aI large party proreeded to the premises , and having seried oa the wfiff by force , they led him to an out-house , locked njn ^ . and placed a guard ou the house to prevent iis escape ; in the meantime the corn , hay , furniture , and other property were filled on cars and carried away . The bailiff escaped through a window during the progress ofthe proceedings , and made his way to Tullow , bat the occurrence having taken place in another county tb * J ^™* Soldnot interfere . The bailiff has ***** the defendant and seven others as the leaders in the committal of the outrage . " . _ Hie subjoined statement also appears m the Carlowroner — " On the night of the 29 th ult , a bru-ETIaf disgraceful outrage was committed near

      SSrT has some property in this neighbour , ftoorf which is in the occupation of tenants who owe S arrears , owing to wWch ejectments had been Eerved upon them . Mr . Smith held also a farm on his own hands , under the care of a steward who rerides on the premises . In this district , which has beenmuch dis turbed during the paatyear , a formidable combin ation manifested itself against the payment of rent , and to such an extent was the Principle of this illegal confederacy carried out , that no labourers for any amount of reward could bo procured to cut down and save Mr . Smith ' s crops , which are now over ripe . One ofthe tenants , named WiUiam Barker , under these

      circumstances volunteered to assist his landlord ; accordingly he sent his son-in-law and two daughters , to assist in cutting down the crops ; and for thus daring to commit a laudable act , Barker was visited the same night by some miscreants who cot off the ears of two valuable horses , his property . It is necessary to observe that such is the lawless taste of this locality , that Mr . Smith is obliged to keep two bailiff ' s - « armed to the teeth * to protect his fanb property from destruction . Oa-the following day , Mr . Yalentine Goold , sub-inspector , visited the scene of outrage and arrested a woman named Anne Gahan , who is committed under suspicious

      circumstances for farther examination before the magistrates at the Tnllow petty sessions . A horse , belonging to a man named Hogan , of Ballinvalley , a tenant of Mr . Smith , was shot a short time since , in consequence of assisting his landlord to crop his land . " The Habvest act the Potato JDhop . —Mr . Hugh Morgan Tuite , of Sonna , formerly member for Westmeath , and an extensive resident proprietor in that county , where his exertions have greatly promoted good husbandry , has addressed the following communication to the Dublin Evening Post , containing a more favourable report of tbe potato crop { ban has yet appeared from any other source : — " Sonna , Mullingar , Sept . 6 ..

      " Sir , —The intense interest with which the fate of the potato crop is watched , and the anxiety which you have uniformly felt to get the truth on a point of auch vital importance to Ireland , combined with a conviction existing on my mind that there are persons who wish that crop to be a failure , or at any rate considerably deficient , have induced me to give you the result of my observations in various parts of Westmeath and Longford . That a bli g ht has taken place is evident ; but I am now certain that the disease is of a mild and greatly , mitigated character as compared with tbe past years of our suffering . I have seen some acres dug , and closely

      watched the state of the potatoes belonging to a large number of my labourers and neighbours brought in daily by them for their families , and I can safely assert that more than three-fourths of the crop is safe , except , perhaps , in some localities near towns , where the superabundance of manure led to an over free use of it . I am also confident that if only one-half of the immense crop planted succeeds , of which I have no doubt , there will be abundance and plenty in the land , quite enough , I trust , to mar the designs of such beings who wish for the destruction of the gifts of the Almi ghty to forward selfish and sinister views of their own . To such individuals I wish no worse fate than that thev

      should bi-weekly undergo the distress and fright of being choked by a potato to within an inch of their existence , till God , in his bountiful mercy and goodness blesses Ireland with such another favourable season and abundant crops of oats and potatoes . — I have the honour to be , sir , your faithful servant , " Hugh M . Tuite . " The reports of the progress of the harvest from other quarters are generally -very favourable . The Tesaxt-right Movement . —The council of the Tenant League in Dublin have issued a . circular containing instructions which they recommend for the conducting of county meetings , and which are to the effect that a councilmeeting should beheld "to determine the divisious . of the county into districts for organisation ; to consider the feasibility of elect ing tenant-right members of parliament f * and to determine on the mode of collecting the

      proportion of the fond of £ 10 , 000 . " The Nation says : — " The county meetings to declare for the tenant league are fixed to begin after a single week . They will take place in tbe following- order , subject to the concurrence ofthe local committees . "Wexford will begin with a council meeting on Tuesday , the 17 th , and a public meeting on Wednesday , the 18 th ; Kilkenny will follow with a council . meeting on Saturday , the 21 st , and a public meeting on the 23 rd ; Heath comes next day with a council meeting on the 24 th , to be followed by a public meeting on Wednesday , the 25 th . Three counties in a week I " Encumbered Estates Commission . —For the week ending on the 5 th instant , there were fourteen additional petitions for the sale of estates filed in the Encumbered Court , making the total number of-petitions , 1 , 197 ; and , before the 1 st of November , they will probably amount to 1 , 300 .

      Carrying awat Chops . —The Tralee . Chramcle contains the following : — " 3 ? o less than sixty summonses were issued at the suit of the Earl of Senmare , against a party of labourers who cut , and housed in the barn on the lands , the corn crops of Francis Mayberry , Esq ., of Lackabane . The labourers are summoned under an act of William HI ., for Sabbath-breaking .. The penalty is 5 s . fine , or two hours imprisonment in the stocks . It is a curious coincidence that under the act the penalty is directed to be recovered by the churchwarden , and in this case the churchwarden is Mr . Francis Mahony , the occup ier of the land for the parish of Aghadoe , in which it is situated , and his brother , Mr . Richard Mayberry , is churchwarden for the adjoining one of KUlarney . "

      Chabge of Murder . —Two men , named O Drea , from the parish of Moycullen , have been taken into custody upon the charge of having murdered a man named Bartley BLearns , at Bushy Park , on the night Of Wednesday , the 4 th inst . —Galway Vindicator . The Queen ' s Colleges . —Two of the Roman Catholic Prelates appointed " visitors to the colleges , Archbishop M'Hale and Archbishop Slattery , have declined to act . New Romas Catholic Uktvebsht . —The Thurles correspondent of tbe Cork Examiner states that " on the day after the division a unanimous decree was passed for taking immediate steps to found a

      Catholic university . Every ecclesiastic in Ireland will be called upon to pay an annual tax of two per cent , on his income for its support , and a committee has been already named for carrying the project into effect The Primate and Dr . Cantwell for Ulster , Archbishop M'Hale and Dr . Deny for Connaught , Archbishop Murray and Dr . flaly for Leinster , Archbishop Slattery and Dr . Foran for Monster , are to associate with themselves as many priests , and a similar number of laymen are to be associated with both , to form a provisional committee for carrying the project into effect . Dr . Cantwell , it is said , commences by a subscription of £ 11 , 000 . "

      Xobd DuxcAxxoN . urn bis Texantet . —Lord Donganbbn in a letter , addressed to the Belfast Chronicle , states that " a tenant of mine , named John Gilmore , holds fifty-four Irish acres under me in the townland of Dehorned , situate in the parish of Drumgooland and county of _ Down ; and for that land , the lease ibr which bas jnst fallen in , he has been paying lis . 9 d . the Irish acre ; of these be has been under-letting ten acres to a person named Patrick M'Cormack , for the amount of forty-six shillings and fourpence per acre . When the fact was made known to me , I could scarcely give credit to it , and could only finally be persuaded of its truth by the man producing and laying before me his stamped receipt for the above sum . John Gilmore , who was receiving this almost unheard-of amount for land in that locality , or , indeed ,, in most others , holds a separate piece of land , containing four acres and one roodwhich fell ont of Jease

      , about tbree years since . The old rent of the piece was two pounds eighteen shillings and fourpence ; op a new valuation it was raised to five pounds . Against this John Gilmore exclaimed as harsh and oppressive ; he being , I am happy and proud to be able to add , one of the very few throughout my somewhat extensive and very scattered property who is disposed to complain himself , and excite a spirit of discontent amongst others . * * * I trust many may henceiorth be induced to pause ere they condemn , on the bare assertions of persons whose object seems to be to excite the worst of all feelings between parties whose interests are essentially one , or give too ready a credit to what , on farther investigation , may be found to apply to other parties than those who have been of late too often held up to unmerited obloquy . 1 have the honour to remain , sir , your very obedient servant . DUSGAXXOS" * '

      Oothaoes . —The neighbourhood of Kelly ' s Grove and Clontuskert has lattery become very troublesome ; several disputes have arisen there , and outrages of a very bad character have taken place . Within the last few nights two houses have been set onfire , and another house thro wn down . We understand that Mr . Wallack , the receiver over Kelly's Grove property , has made several distresses on those lands , and placed keepers on the seizures made . We know many cases in which the undue severity of agents and tax collectors has driven the people to desperation ,

      Charge "¦ Of Manslaughter Against Capt. ...

      CHARGE " ¦ OF MANSLAUGHTER AGAINST CAPT . BUSHE , OF THE 59 th REGIMENT .

      An inquest was held at Mallow , on the 6 th inst ., on the body of a respectable child , named John Denuehy ,. between six and seven years " of age , alleged to have come by ! its death in consequence ; of a blow from a whi p said to have been inflicted Try Henry Kendal Bushe ,. captain of ' the 59 th , Regiment . — -Julia Hallisy , the first witness , deposed that she resided with the parents of John Denuehv , and acted as their servant . On Wednesday , the 21 st of August , she left homef ri the evening between six and seven o ' clock in company with the deceased . Mary . Hallwy went with them , and they proceeded

      to walk through barrack-lane . ; . The deceased , had a small whi p in his band , and was playing with it . Heard a dog screech . When the captain heard the dog screech he turned back with a large whip in his baud , and opened it ; he then stamped on the ground and said , ' * . You young ruffian , why did you strike my dog , " striking the 'deceased at the same time violently across the head . It was a large thong whip . The child jan away quickly , and in the confusion K- nacied himself « j » inBt . t wall . The deceased then ran hornet Does not think the . child was struck with the handle of the whi Witness went to the mother of the deceased and told her " Captain Bashe had silled her child . " The child

      was in . ' perfect Health when they went out to walk . The child said to its mother that he was not hurt , but on asking him the second , time he stated that his head was sore , and that the knots of < the whip west through it , The child , was ill several times during that night . —Julia Dennehy , the mother of the deceased child , corroborated the statement of this witness . —Dr . P . Berry deposed that he first attended the deceased child about a fortnight ago , when it appeared to be in a general fever . Examined the person of the child , and found no marks of violence whatever . . The child put . his hand to his head , but on witness examining it he found no marks upon it . The deceased got convulsions

      about the second or third day , but on the fifth he became convalescent from the fever . The child then appeared so well that it was dressed and sat in his mother ' s lap ; but on the same evening the convulsions returned , and continued at intervals up to the time of his death . Was present when Dr . Braddel made & post mortem examination ofthe child . There appeared to be some watery fluid in the ventricles of the brain , and the membranes covering it were of a bad colour . There were also minute tubercles formed near the base of the brain . Tbe substance of tbe brain ' was remarkably soft . —Coroner : Can you say what is tbe cause of the child ' s death ? Witness : Yes ; the . child died from water on the

      brain , which appeared to follow an attack of , fever . —The witness continued to depose that the chest of the child was also examined , and one of the lungs were found diseased . There were other manifestations of disease , which must have existed prior to the child's last illness . —Coroner ; Would the blow of a whip cause the injuries you describe ? Witness : Certainly not . However . Jet me qualify it by saying that the blow of a whip , if severe enough , would predispose the child to fever , or , if given on ihe head , to water on the brain . —To a juror : Tbe disease in tbe lungs had nothing to do with the child ' s death . —Cross-examined by Mr . Jones : Examined the child two days after the alleged injury .

      and found no marks whatever on . his body . . It is quite possible that giving tbe child fruit or treating it improperly , would produce convulsions . , . If there was a welt on the cheek ef the child on Wednesday , it certainly must have left some traces on Friday , when witness saw the deceased . —Dr . Braddle deposed to having made ipmt mortem examination of the deceased . Tbe vessels of the brain and its membranes were very much distended , and filled with blood . Thinks this state of the brain arose from inflammation , and that the watery fluid

      discovered in the brain itself arose from the same cause . Had heard that the child was injured in tbe head , and therefore made a very minute , examination , but could discover no traces of any injury on that organ . A small lump might have existed on tbe bead a fortnight ago . —The Coroner addressed the jury , who retired , and , after some deliberation , returned with a verdict of " Manslaughter against Captain Bushe . " The crowd that thronged the outer part of the court seemed overjoyed at the result of the inquest , and some of them left the place crying " Bravo . " ,

      The Scotsman-s aja ^ that jn Scotland . tbApotato crop , asa whole / is sountf , but the tubers are unusually small . " ; ; , ^ ; Pbthcal versbbI JfoRAk-rWhether the Riysical wants should be remedied through the Moral , or , the Moral through the Physical , has been a question which has occupied the attention of philosophers and philanthropists for centuries . Without attempting to decide the question , there can be no doubt that when the Physical condition is impaired it demands the first attention . For instance ; a person whilst suffering from an acute attack of Gout would be unable to appreciate the sublimest lessens of philosophy , eren though enunciated by the divine Plato . . How much more welcome to the sufferer would be a box of Blair ' s Gout and Kheumatic Pills , so efficacious in eradicating this distressing malady .

      Ttmnmrncg—The history of medicine is by no means flattering to science . It is questionable whether more is fcnown of diseases , their cause , and their " cure , at this moment , than in the time of Galen ; it ii certain that diseases are quite as numerous , and in the aggregate as fatal . Every age has produced some new system of artificial therapeutics which the next age has banished ; each has boasted in its turn of cures , and they , in their turn , have been condemned as failures . Medicines themselves are the subjects unsettled ; in fact , that it has no established principles , that it is little more than conjectural ? ' At this moment , ' says Mr . Pinny , * the opinions on the subject of treatment are almost as numerous as the practitioners themselves . Witness the mass of contradiction on the treatment of even one disease , namely , consumption . Stroll attributes its frequency to the introduction of bark . Morton considers baric an effectual cure . Keid ascribes the frequency of the disease to the use of mercury . Brillonet asserts that it is

      curable by mercury only . Ituse says that consumption is an inflammatory disease — should be treated by bleeding , purging , cooling medicines , and starvation . Salvador ! taysitisadiseaseof deoUity , and should be treated by tonics , stimulatisg remedies , and a generous diet Galen recommended vinegar as the bestpreventative of consumption . Dessault and others assert that consumption is often brought on by taking vinegar to prevent obesity . Beddoes recommended foxglove as a specific . Dr . Parr found foxglove more injurious in his practice than beneficial . ¦ Such are the contradictory statements of medical men ! ' And yet there can be but one true theory of disease . Of the fallibility and inefficiency of medicine , none have been more conscious than medical men themselves , many of . whom nave been honest enough to avow their conviction , and now recommend SIESSRS . DU BARRY'S REVALENTA ARABICA FOOD , a farina , which careful analysis has shown to be derived from the root of an African plant , somewhat

      similar to our honeysuckle .

      MB . FEAKGTJS O'CONNOR , MifjfIN NOTTINGHAM . %

      ( From the Nottingham Review . ) . * , ' Last Sunday evening , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., M . P ., arrived in this town , having attended a large camp meeting at Mountsdrrel , Leicestershire ^ the same , day . l and on Monday , in conformity , with his usual practice at the close of each parliamentary session , the honourable member presented himself before such of the " electors and non-electors" of Notting ham as chose to meet him , resigned into their hands his representative functions , and afterwards went through the formality of re-election .

      A temporary p latform was erected for the occasion in the Market-place , upon which , about half-past one o ' clock in the afternoon , Mr , O'Connortook up his position , amidst the congratulatory shoutings of several hundreds of his friends , chiefly non-electors , and amongst whom we noticed a considerable number of females .. Mr . Saunders , of Bradford , having been elected to preside over the meeting , said , they were assembled together for the purpose of meeting their esteemed , honourable , and honest ; representative , Mr . O'Connor , who came before them in pursuance of his expressed intention at the time of his election ; to resign into the hands of his constituents the trust

      they had reposed in him ; hut should he be re-elected , he was as willing as ever to serve them to the utmost of his ability . ( Cheers . ) He ( the chairman ) was well aware that the factions of this town were not very well suited with Mr . O'Connor . But why was this ? To him ; the reasons . were very plain . Mr . O'Connor did not butter , his words sufficiently for them j-neither did he court their smiles . He was not disliked only for what he had left undone , hut for actions he had performed . When . Mr . O'Connor came amongst the

      working classes of this country , he found that nearly the entire press was opposed to the interests of labour , and in Order to remove the mist from the eye ' s of . the working population , he established a newspaper , wherein he , had given the people to understand their rights , and the manner in which they might be obtained . ( Cheers . ) Those were some of the reasons wh y the factions were , dissatisfied , with Mr , O'Connor , They were asked the other day , on a dirty hit of paper circulated by Mr . Bradshaw , "What important measure Mr . O'Connor had introduced into the

      House of Commons ? " He had brought forward one , at least , and one of more importance to them than any measure introduced by any other out of the 656 members comprising the house . But what was the conduct of that house—the collective wisdom of the nationupon the occasion % The government and its hirelings absented themselves , and a sprig of the aristocracy rose to his feet and counted out the house ; and in that way every measure tending to ameliorate the condition of the working classes was treated . ( Shame . ) Without further observations he would make way for their worthy representative .

      Mr . O CORKpn , who , on rising , was greeted with cheers , ; sftid—Mr . Chairman , electors , and , non-eleowi-of .-. Notting ham , of the People ' s Chafterjwiich I have now advocated for fifteen years , there are only two points that I am-enabled-to carry out—and - ; those are annual parliaments , and universal suffrage . ( Cheers . ) And notwithstanding all the antagonism with which I have had to contend from the Nottingham papers , a tyrannical government , and opposing factions in { he House of Commons , I stand here ^ More you now , in no little room or cockloft onl y capable of holding a few men , hut under the canopy of

      the broad blue sky ; defying any personam the world to charge me with , one single act repult sive to your interests . ( Loud cheers ;) During the thirty years of . my political-life , I have withstood more antagonism . than any map who everVrenV hefbreme ^ - Sn ^^^ urt ^^^ an ^ lffi y man who will come after * ine . ; Nbwy : ? you know how-Nottingham haa ' -rbeen ^^ -epreaented before this tiitte ^ -you know ., that , every man who has represented yon , excepting myself , has received some government office . -Lord Denman was made Chief Justice ; and John Cam Hobhouse , who , when he was member for Westminster , said , if itw , asinhis power , he would torn the Thames into the House of

      Commons , to sweep it out—who was then a republican—is now a minister ofthe crown . Do you suppose the hope of being Chief Justice , Lord Chancellor , Governor-General of India , Lord Lieutenant of Ireland , or Prime Minister of England , would induce me to give one sing le vote opposed to your interests ? No . As I told you , I am now in the thirtieth year of my agitation ; I have never travelled a mile or taken a meal at your expense ; and I have spent over a hundred thousand pounds of my ; own money in attempting to elevate your position . Do I blame the tyrants in the House of Commons , or the fo vernment soldiers ? . - No ; I blame yourselves , ou are the parties that I blame ;

      Dinted , you stand , - Divided , you fall . ; The man who receives 20 s . a week looks with scora and contempt on the man who earns 10 s . a week ; and he with 10 s . aweek looks with contempt on-the pauper in the union workhouse . If I had the power I wished , and my principles were fully carried but , " the men who earns 10 s . or £ 1 now , would obtah ? £ 3 a week ; and the capitalists should not trade in your blood , sinews , and sweat . Another man can come here to cater for popularity amongst ; the middle classes ; but do you think I would bold my seat in Parliament at the price of giving up any portion of your principles ? ( Cheers , and cries of "No . " ) Well , my friends , why do not you work

      as 1 have worKea i ihe third session of the present parliament has . terminated , and ! come again for the third time to tender you my . resignation . I do not represent you alone in the House of Commons , but my own feelings and principles also . ( Cheers . ) If your principles did not coincide with my own , I would not profess to be the representative of one and hot of the other . ' ( Cheers . ) I have been much abused here . Where is death ' s head on a broomstick . now ? ( Laughter and cheering . ) Where is Bradshaw , who has maligned mo so much ? against whom I brought an action for libel ; only the jury gave a . verdict against me , and yet declared my personal' honesty was un impeached . Would

      they have given such a verdict against any other man in the kingdom ? I say they would not . Had a man preferred " an action against mo upon the same ground that I brought this against Bradshaw , they would have given him large damages and made me pay ; because , as I have often told you , there is one law for the rich and another forthe poor . ( Cheers , and cries of" Shame " . ) There is more danger to tbo peasant who shoots the squire ' s hare , than to the squire who shoots the peasant ' s head . (" That ' s true ; " and cheering . ) Now , lam come amongst you again to prepare your minds for obtaining your rights . I was at Mountsorrel yesterday , and I never saw a set of more spirited ,

      determined fellows than assembled there—some from a great distance .. They all declared they were about to rouse up the principles of Chartism once more . ( Loud cheers . ) It is not only upon English principles and feelings that you have to rely ; but upon foreign principles and feelings also . Government has now for many years been basing its power upon an alliance with France . The Special Constable of France has made his tour ; the Times and other newspapers report his reception to have been enthusiastic and hi g hly favourable ; . whilst all the French journals not , in his favour report truly that he was execrated and fired at ; that the cry of " Vive la Republique ! " followed him wherever he

      went . Can you conceive a greater anomaly than that of an individual appointed as president of a republic being annoyed and terrified at the cry , " Live the Republic ? " ( Cheers . ) Does not that show that he is trying to juggle you ? ( Cheers . ) Just as the Reformers in 1831 and 1832 juggled you . Tbank God , there is more knowledge in England than in France , and I hope the power of tho mind will overthrow the power of the canno n and the musket . ( Loud cheers . ) Ia ' 31 and ' 32 not a working man would get up on the public platform

      to speak a word for himself . Why ? Because the middle classes , the then reformers , spouted your principles for you ; told you what you receive from reform ; and you did not think it necessary to advocate your own cause . But now you have every member in the House of Commons on tho platform for you ; yet you might take at random C 56 ofthe la . bouring classes who should be . more eloquent , and fifty times more honest and able than tbey . As the chairman has told you , when I brought forward my measure the bouse was counted out , only twentynine members in number ; whereas on any question

      Mb. Feakgtjs O'Connor, Mifjfin Nottingha...

      relative to ecclesiastical commissioners , woods and forests , or anything opposed to your interests , the house would be crammed " to suffocation . And see how the people ' s enemies are , re warded . John Campbell —his father was AttorhbyrGeneral-rproseouted me at . York , , aiid is now Chief Justice . Frederick Pollock , to whom I am indebtedfor eight days' prosecution at Lancaster , ' ; is how Chief Justice of the : Exohequer ; ahd Sir John Jervis , now , Chief Justice of the Common Pleas , is the man who attempted to prosecute nib '" at Liverpool .-( Shame . ) Well , but my friends , I look : forward to better times .

Now the country is become more enlightened , and the people better capable of exercising that franchise than in ignorant barbarous days , and were they but unanimous in their pursuit of liberty , they would speedily enjoy a better , state of things . But why were equal electoral districts destroyed ? Because the tyrant kings of those days saw that the people ' s strength was too great for them , and they enfranchised a few rotten boroughs to destroy the power of the

      people .

      Marshal Haynau-His Reception And;Flight....

      MARSHAL HAYNAU-HIS RECEPTION AND FLiGHT . , . „ .. ' , ' .: . .... ( fromthe . Daily News ;) , The warm reception given to Marshal Haynau by the brewers of Southwark ; as narrated in our publication of Saturday , last , has been considered exaggerated by some of our contemporaries . But on inquiry every statement has been fully corroborated . Indeed ; as " further particulars" are brought to light , the affair takes a more serious-aspect , and there seems to have been more dignity and determination in the proceedings than was at first supposed . Nor is it probable that those who " assisted " in the demonstration will be subjected to any annoyance ,

      as Messrs . Barclay have not suspended any of their men . The principal ofthe firm it seems is out of town , and his determination is not precisely known ; but the other members of the firm have declined interfering ; 'it seems certain that they intend to let the matter drop . At any rate'the name ofthe Marshal ; has been , formally , erased from the visitors' book , which seems significant . ¦ The marshal , it seems , was accompanied by his nephew and an interpreter , and they presented themselves about half-past twelve o ' clock on Wednesday , at the brewery . The interpreter having handed in a letter of introduction from Baron Rothschild to the chief clerk , the party were at once shown into the chief office , where it is

      customary , for visitors to write their names iri the visitors ' book .- The marshal having written " Haynau " in rather a bold style ) he was consigned to one of the servants to conduct him over the brewery . The moment he quitted a commotion was visible in the office , and eromanj minutes had elapsed several of the ; clerks and collectors were seen to leave ^ the brewery hastily , and in a short space of time the carters , draymen ; and others from the opposite premises of the establishment , with a host of labourers from the neighbouring Borough Market , congregated outside the gates of the brewery . Some of them were armed-with long carters ' whips , and others had- I 0 ng ; cane brooms . The general had been shown over most of the departments , and'had

      arrived at the stables , when the scries . of assaults commenced . He was about entering the lower stalls when a heavy truss of straw was thrown out from the loft above ; it fell upon his head , and knocked him to the ground with - much force . Having regained his legs , missiles ofthe most offensive character were thrown into his face , and as it was-: evident that a furious storm was brewing against their party , their- hasty-retreat was suggested . With as much expedition ' as possible , the marshal , with his nephew and interpreter , bolted across the yard , and on reaching the street they were met with themostfearful yells and execrations from the mob who bad collected outside the entrance gates . Indeed it is scarcely possible , we are

      assured , to convey an accurate idea of the horrible noise that burst forth from the populace when the affrighted general appeared . He was allowed to reach about the middle of the street , when some ot the carters , who were in waiting with their-heavy whips , oried Out , " Oh , this is the fellow that flogged the . women ; is it ! " and instantly commenced hashing him- with all their might . The marshal then quickened his speed , but tho mob , which-had considerably increased by the arrival of anumber of coal-heavers from Bankside ; crowded near him , and all that could get to him were kicking and shoving him , and crying , " He ' s a murderer ; five it him . Down with the Austrian butcher , hove him into the river . " With some difficulty he

      contrived to reach the corner of Bankside , when he was knocked down , and an attempt was made by the more excited ofthe populace to drag him awayj it'is thought , for the purpose of throwing him into the Thames . His nephew and interpreter , however , managed to keep hold- of him , and again got him upon his legs . He then made another effort to get away between his attendants . The mob , however ; followed him up , and lashed , pelted , and hooted him in the most furious style . He was flogged with the whips , struck over the back with the brooms , beaten with the coal-heavers' "fantail" hats , while an unremitting shower of filth was levelled at him . Several gentleman who witnessed the attack made an attempt to . protect the

      marshal / who appeared to be fast sinking , from exhaustion and ill usage , while his interpreter imp lored the mob not to kill him . Two young men in the service of Mr . Winter , tbe ironmonger , in Bankside , met tbe men , and endeavoured to restrain them . " He is a murderer , " was the reply . " We won't have him here , the Austrian butcher ; we'll teach him to flog women . " Another rush was made at him ; his nat was thrown high into the air , amid < loud derisive shouts , and his clothes nearly torn off his back , His moustache and beard were pulled in the most violent manner , and one man , who had in his hand a largo bladded knife , caught hold of the marshal ' s beard , and made a strong effort to out it off . By this time the party had

      reached the George public-house , in Bankside , near Southwark Bridge , kept by Mr . Benfield , and in the confusion the general succeeded in getting from the mob , and running into the George . The nephew and interpreter remained at the door as long as it was practicable ; they , however , were soon compelled to seek shelter inside , tho mob beating them and rushing up stairs . Mr . : Benfield at the time was attending at the bar , and his wife was up stairs with her child . In an instant the lower part of the house was filled by the mob , whose conduct now became furious , while hundreds collected in front . Loud were the cries— " Out with the butcher !" "Drag the murderer out ! " "Down with the wretch ! " Several rooms were entered , but the marshal could not be found , and it was supposed he

      had been concealed . ' The mob then became impatient ,-find would listen to nothing else than his production . Several men scaled the front of the house and got into tho front room windows . The nephew . and interpreter were found on the landing , but the object of their fury was nowhere to bo seen . In a- ' few- moments a loud yell proceeded , from the back part of 'the' premises , Some coalheavers had discovered the marshal crouched iri a dust bin attached to the house . By the hair of his head they dragged , him out , shouting , " Wo have got the Austrian women flogger ! "' This announcement was received with almost frantic cheers by the mob outside the bouse , and the marshal was about being dragged along the passage into tbo streets , when his cries attracted the sympathy of some strangers , who , with the aid of his nephew and interpreter .

      succeeded in getting him from the grasp of his assailants , and in locking him up in one of the bedrooms , while others stood sentry at tho door , and prevented it being- forced . Mr . Benfield , the landlord , endeavoured to appease the mob . They replied , however , that if thewretch was not given up , they would pull the house down . Most fortunately Mr . Benfield at the first rush ; into his house , and fearing that it would really be demolished , sent for a policeman , who arrived just at the moment the threats were being made , and it being dangerous for him to aot alone , ho . ran to the police-station for further aid . A strong body of the force soon arrived , and their appearance at once quelled the fury of the populace . The inspector , on entering tho house , found the general seated on the edge of a bed in a Sltiablo condition . He was much exhausted , and in is . own language complained severely of the pain he endured from tho injuries inflicted upon him .

      Having partaken of some slight refreshment , the inspector assured him , through tho interpreter , that he might consider himself perfectly safe under his care , ashe had a body of officers down below to protect him . It was some time , however , ere be could be induced to believe that he was free from further violence . His torn garments having been temporarily repaired by the interpreter , and Mr . Benfield having lent him a- hat , he ventured to make for the Thames police galley that . was lying at the foot of tho stairs fronting the George . Getting safely into the boat , , it was rowed to Waterloo Bridge . A cab was then procured , and the exhausted marshal was convoyed to Morloy ' s Hotel , Charing Cross . It should bo mentioned , however , ' that when tie took his departure from Bankside he was greeted with yells , and his hat was thrown into the river after him . During tho remainder of that day the general was

      confined to his beTathishotel . -Oh Friday-Be-was still . Buffering from the injuries he bad sustained . Hewas visited by severaliof the ^ Austrian jnobJea and others resident in London ; and in order-to avoid the recurrence , of a similar display of feeling , arrangements were made for his quitting England , and in the course of Fridaynight * we are informed , he took his leave . :- . .- ; ..: ¦; ,-, , ¦¦ ¦¦ : The George , where Haynau took refuge ; has been ever since an attraction to the curious . It has beea daily visited by . ' crowds of exiled Hungarians , the

      dustnoie ana bedroom being objects of much attraction to the curious . Cheers are repeatedly given by the visitors for the draymen and coal-heav ; ers . Mr . Benfield , to whom Haynau was largely indebted for his safety , called at Morley ' s and sent in his cardj but the marshal refused to receive him . The excitement caused by the occurrence has found a political vent . The following verses ,- entitled " . The Southwark Brewers and " the Austrian Butcher ; " were very generally sung . about -the streets of Southwark on Saturday night : —

      Jolly boys who brew porter tor Barclay and Perkins , The prime London stout of our cans and our firkins , Here ' s a healtbj English hearts , what'er may betide , For the dose you gave Haynau along the Bankside . . Derry down , down , down , Derry down . The deeds of this butcher , wo all have heard tell ,.

Oh , the cord for tbe neck , and the lash for the back , When Haynau commanded , " they never were slack ; And women he scourged , till the red blood rah down , This chief of the armies of Austria ' s crown . - ' Derry down , down , down , Derry down ..

Derry down , down , down , Derry down .

      ( From the Standard . ) The Times has ; tOrday . a long article ,, denouncing the scandalous ; atrocity of flinging rstraw aqd brewers' grains , besides foul words , iat : General Haynau , and leading him along the streets by this preposterous moustache , as bears are conducted by a cord fastened . to a ring through their : noses . ' / We sympathise with the indignation of the Times afc . tha proceeding , and so we hope , will every man whom the general left unshot or unhanged in Hungary , and every noble lady recovered from the scars ofthe cat-o ' -nine tails exercised upon her person b y-hia orders .. The Times will haveit that the affair was too shocking not to be the result of a conspiracy , which doubtless adds to the malignity of the

      disorder hy making it premeditated . Our contemporary , too , says ,: that they ; who were . concerned in the mobbing of Haynau never heard , of bis name ; . ; Ii this be so , the press is . , a very inefficient public instructor , for during several months the general ' s active proceedings in Hungary ; formed : the most interesting intelligence of all the London newspapers ; and even they who were unable to read must have seen in every . small stationer's' window ; hia picture , representing , him in the humane and gallant ; act of flogging , women , r . The limes exhibits its anger through a whole . column .- Now we do riot remember that the JVmes ^ was so indignant when a

      mob of reformers pulled ' . the . Duke of Wellington , from his horse and nearly murdered him ; but we do remember that muoh'abOtttth ' e , time , of that . outrage our contemporary ; recommended ? the -use of brick-bats and bludgeons . agairist the enemies of reform . It is well that the Times has come , to a milder mood , and we hope that the . mood may vba permanent . We have , however ,, our . misgiyiaga when we reflect that General Haynau was- introduced to . Barclay ' s as " the friend of Baron ( Mr . ) Rothschild ; " and that if Satan himself could claim tbe patronage of a rich Jew the Times would resent an affront offered to Satan .

      ( From the Hampshire Independent . ' ) Our readers are , probably , already aware that Marshal Haynau , whose doings ia Italy and Hungary have obtained for him so infamous a notoriety , Has been some short time , in England , whither-ha bent his steps after his late ignominious dismissal from office . by ; the ' : Austrian governments The news * papers , inform us-that he first looked vin -to gaze' at the . orators of the . Peace . Congress-oa- ^ us -way ; and then came on to London . This , of course , -was with the hero of Brescia and Pesth a matter of choice . England , thank God , is not a country of passports and spies , and her shores have been a refuge for every political fugitive , from Louis . Philippe down to Louis Blanc , from Prince Metternich to Ledru

      Rollin . Haynau , too , might have lived in ; peace and obscurity , in our immense metropolis , if he bad been content to rest satisfied with that , privacy which must for evermore be his only chance of escaping from the scorn and execration of every man , with a spark of humanity or . honour in his bosom . But , instead , of adopting this prudent-course , the Austrian hangman and woman-flogger : must < go starring it forsooth through the large manufacturing and commercial establishments of London ; and ; - in doing so , ho has already had an opportunity 1 of knowing , by the most unpleasant demonstration , what the people of England think' of his horrid butcheries throughout bis Italian and Hungarian campaigns , we have given , in another column , an

      account ot the attack made on him on Wednesday last ; , and although we are no friends of mob law , we are quite certain that the workmen of Messrs . Barclay and Perkins , when they pelted with' mud this second Alva , very fairly represented the feelings entertained towards him by ; every intelligent working man in England . Marshal Haynau will soon learn to his cost , if he should persist in obtruding his hateful and detested presence into our industrial establishments , that the Times , in treating of his barbarous proceedings , is not a true exponent of English opinion ; and he will learn , further , that the working men of this country , though they may tolerate bis residence among us , will , be no' parties to "lionising" a detestable and inhuman . mis « creant , who , in addition to all his other crimes , had Italian ladies of high birth and fortune flogged'in

      the public square , for no other cause than their devotion to their . country ' s honour , and independence . Such a man , if we can properly call one , must be taught to understand that in this country , at least , privacy is his only safeguard against that scorn and contumely which in the estimation of freemen will ever attach to his hated name . We are glad he escaped uninjured beyond being pelted with dirt , but we really think Messrs . Barclay and Perkins' workmen deserve great credit for having compelled him to take to his heels and seek refuge under a bed . We have already , at various times ,, paid far too much respect to continental tyrants who have visited our shores , and it is to be hoped that the little hunt-got up on Wednesday by . some of the London draymen may in future have a salutary effect on persons who are vain enough to seek fos public applause by the magnitude of their crimes ;

      At the present moment the ; , folio wing extracts from the . Austrian general ' s proclamations in Hungary , may not be uninteresting :-r- ¦' Take , care not to incur my vengeance by revolutionary movements . Not being able in such case to find out the guilty party , I shall be compelled to punish the wholedlstriet . If on the territory occupied by my array , or on the rear , any attempt shall he committed against my soldiers , or if any ofthe convoys should be stopped , or a courier , or a transport of provisions prevented , an immediate punishment shall bo inflicted on the guilty commune , it shall become the prey to flumes , and shall be leveUed to the ground

      to serve ns a lnghtlui example to other communes . . { Any individual who shall , either , by word or . action , or by wearing any revolutionary signs or emblems , shall dare to support the cause ofthe rebels—any individual who shall insult one of my soldiers , or those of our brave allies , either by words or blows—any individual who shall enter into criminal relations with the enemies of the crown , or who shall seek to kindle the flame of rebellion by reports spread for a sinister purpose , or who s-hall be rash enough to conceal arms or not deliver them up within the delay fixed by my proclamation , shall be put to death within the shortest possible delay on the spot where the crime shall be committed , without distinction of condition or sex . . >

      THE CRUELTIES TO HAYNAU . The other day wo heard of the General at Frankfort , listening to Mr . Cobden with a face : as long as a saint ' s , and apparently taking great interest in tho Peace movement . The arch-hypocrite was . allowed to keep , bis seat . If any of the members of the Congress felt the meeting disgraced by his presence , not one had the courage to point him out as Haynau , who put human blood-hounds-in the track of Kossuth and his brave companions ; who caused his aged mother and his three helpless children to be seized aud dragged to "Vienna ; who seized the wife of General Guyon and his infant children , because the General had taken part in the hol

      y cause his countrymen had . embraced ; who ordered the Countess of Karoly to be shot for raising an Hungarian regiment ; and who directed Madame de Maderspach , who then resided at Ruskly , to be taken from her husband and children , dragged into a square formed by the troops , and in the presenco of the population , who had been accustomed to honour her on account of her benevolent disposition , to bo stripped and flogged with rods ^ Madame de Maderspaoh ' s husbaiidj hot himseh \ A this torture ; ^ J ^ Smion , but he was Captain who dl ^ Ss In order to fill up the cup P ??
