      _Mo-fl-AT . —iBttiKD .--The , potato-shaving become _^ _e premier monarch _ofrthefiartbyby right divine , _-LonaiMls our first consideration . The DtMn iSven-J ina _Ibil , the high Protestant print , and what is !« llea the whole ofthe Liberalpress , as -well aamahy of the Conservative pop-guns , are at issue relative to the state of His Majesty ' s health ; _tha-Ifoir declaring that there is a good crop , while all the other ijfntoassert tbat itis all bnt gone—while doctors differ patients die , and especially under the care of

      _ihelrish Eoyal _J-otatoe _uommissionera , -who , intheir inscription , sent to Ms Excellency this day _. _recomoiend the following modes of preservation : — . 1 . " Washing the potatoes . - 2 . Grating them down to pulp . 3 " . _Waddng the pulpy "bass . 4 . Stirring in the oatmeal . 5 . Baking the cakes . Such is the process through which the medicine is to S ° _> an ( _* ' _*^ _foHowingis the simple machinery recommended for performing the several operations . 1 . A hollow revolving cylinder to wash the

      pota-2 . A ' grating machine for reducing them to pulp . JS . Bands or vats for washing the pulp . 4 A floor for mixing pulp and oatmeal . -5 . A heated floor or oven for baking the cakes . Here is a process , and here is machinery recommended to a people whose only furniture , as the Times Commissioner informs us , and as we can Touch for , is an iron pot to soften the potatoes , a basket to strain them in , and the door placed npon two other baskets to eat thereupon . What a mockery . The s ubject is too serious to jest npon ; or we should recommend the following prescription , written itrthe -usual professional phraseology , in opposition tb the prescription of the quacks . 1 . Cum-rid-bread stuff , 2 . Sifamesto ,

      3 . Fac usque ad ness , - 4 . Prop te ipsum , 5 . Ex Lex Div . * "Which being translated into medical English will lead thus : — 1 . When yon see bread stuff , 2 . If you are hungry , 3 . Make as mnch as yoa w _& it of it , i . Tour own property , -5 . According to divine law . Divide in partes tares , capiat unam ter in die , cum lacte novo—whicli translates thus - . —Divide itin three parts , take one three times each day with new milk ; an other words , we prescribe plenty of bread stuff with newmilk , in opposition to the rotten potatoe starch of the ministerial quacks .

      Moixt Maguire . —We are informed , by the Fer managh Reporter , that Molly Maguire is likely to get the _dsath-blow from the exertions of Mr . Cullen , Mr . Henderson , and Mr . Wray , aided by tie untiring assistance of Mr . Flunkett , stipendiary magistrate . We did not know that Ireland contained four men rich enough to fee the whole of the Irish people , or powerful enough to do them justice ; for itis only -by one or both of these means that Molly Maguireism . can be put down . True , she may change her name and her sex— -she has been a White Boy , a Peep- _' oday Boy , a Whitefoot , aBIackfoot , a Terry Alt , and a Croppy ; " bnt what ' s in a name ? " Molly ' s occupation never will be gone as long as slavery exists in Ireland . The Thibdte . — Wehave not yet seen an account ef this disgraceful collection which _commenced _yesterday .

      The Obasgemes . — These blood-thirsty ruffians have got ashamed of their name , and have enrolled -themselves as The Protestant Alliance Murderers . Exglasd . —The Potatoe . —The potatoe disease is described as fearfully upon the increase all over the -country , while our rulers are occupied in canvassing the merits of Lord EUenborough , andthetitle of England to the Oregon territory . When shall we get rid -of such nincompoops . Answer . —The very moment the people will it . Killixg a Poos Man so Murdeb . —Anaccountof a poormannamed Slatter , who was murdered at Chipping Norton , by apoHceinspectornanied Nott , will be found in another partof our paper , andtheverdictof thc coroner ' s jury will be read by every man with horror

      and disgust . The circumstances are bnefly these , a gentleman named Hall had missed some chaff , poor Slatter wasiis neighbour , and , as well as Hall , had a torse . Hall , of course , suspected his poor neighbour of robbinghim , andsentforNott to seize thepoor man ' s -chaff . Hall said he could _sweab to the chaff being stoles from Hiu . and straightway _theiiFErKESERVEn , without further warrant , proceeds to sieai . slatieb ' s chaff ; whereon Slatter says , "That never belonged to Mr . Hall , that chaff is MisE , you _shas'ihate it _•*" but the inspector , not being able to discover the _posr man's right to chaff , replied , "He should have it . " and added these words , "Pel soox seitle tou , " and , as if by magic , as one of the witnesses stated , he drew from Ids right-hand pocket a tliick stick and

      _struck deceased a violent blow with it on the side of hit Iiead , which caused him to stagger ; and deceased said , _^ _'YOVMAVEVOSBATSirE JHIXG KOW FOB . ME . " Nott was about _bepeatixg _tdb _buiw , when Mr . Hall pulled his aim back , and said , "For God ' s sake don ' t _strike ldm any more , ihereareplenty of people here to assist vou if it is _bequibed . The poor fellow was then jnand-enffed and conveyed to the "lock-up , " -where his murderer found Mm dead in the morning ; -and , willit _^ be believed , that a rascally middle-class jniy have returned a verdict of manslaughter !!! If Slatter had killed Nott after he had struckhim ,

      which , by law , he would have been fully justified m < loIng , these worthies would navereturned a verdict ef -wilful murder against Slatter . .... _Pabuamest . _—Itappears that the collective wisdom is to be called together early in January for the _disp atch of bcsisess . Query- _Msi _? we not naturally infer that there ' s something in the wind ? Tbade . —From aU parts ofthe countiy we continue to receive the most frightful accounts of decaying trade . Mils working half time , -rasters looking Hue , operatives looking hnngry , prices looking down , and provisions look up . So we would advise our rulers to look ont . . ... .

      Codbt _Cmcui-AB . —The Queen and Prince Albert _« Ient well last night ( Saturday ) , and attended di-¦ _wine service at St . Geerge ' s Chapel Royal , on Sunday The Bishop of London preached the sermon avows the foUowing text : —" They that die by the sword are better than they tha * perish si hunger , for iheir bodies pine away , Strieker through , for want of the fruits of the field . " We understand that the Tenerable divine was frequently interrupted by _suppressed bnt audible mHtterings of "On ! the potatoes ¦ " The Royal children took their accustomed -airings . Prince Albert and the young _Cobourgs , attended by three lackeys , were engaged throughout tie remainder ofthe day , after divine service , in in-• vestigatins the real condition of the potatoe crop in i the Royal Conservatory , were many experiments are now being made to secure the last of the Murphy ' s . . __ , ., .. . have alteration to

      The Stock Exchange . — We no note since our last , beyond the further elongation of the faces of the banditti , and the continuous desertion of several railway boards , by thecat s-meat-boys , the cads , and theswellmob . The settling day went off comparatively easy , and the settlement of Vie question lias been postponed for a short period , but "Come it will for a'that . " Thb B _* b Aim the Pbess .-A long controversy about dignity has existed between the bar andthe press as to whether it is unhandsome , _^ professional , and ungentlemanlike , for barristers to report for the _-nress . At _length it has been all but unanimously _lecled , itaSingheW at the _Attorney-GeneraTs house , that itis neither nnhandsome , unprofessional _, _-orungentlemanlike .

      ? _e ? _s appear to be increasing the _'< ¦ "terror of _theilandw ™ andtheGoYernmenti ;} _^ _^ -l _* ¦ --Im ? :: -.- . ' ¦ _DiKML 0 [ Co _» 5 ELi ,. '— The letter . of the Times ' Commissioner under this day ' s date - announces a fact heretofore unknown to him ,-but not new to us— . namely , that Daniel O'ConneU * is a middle man to a veiy large extent , holding . property under corporations and individuals , and has the poorest and : moat oppressed tenantry in the kingdom . The Union , of course , being the cause of their poverty , and Dan only having the bight to the retail profit , being exonerated from the duties of a landlord .: Alas , poor eountry , Almost afraid to know itself .

      _Englahd . —All accounts appear to agree in the damage sustained by the potatoe . The Gloucester Journal states , that although railways absorb public attention just now , that nevertheless the loss of the food of millions of people will presently engross the more serious consideration of all . From Nottingham and its neighbourhood , as well as from all parts of the kingdom , the daily papers continue to publish the most frightful authenticated accounts relative to the loss of the potatoe crop . _^ Eactobt . Inspectors' _JusiicE . _-7 We give the following version of the manner in which factory infants comsht suicide . — "An inquest was held on Monday before Mr . Chapman , npon the body of Ellis Reed , aged thirteen . years _^ who was unfortunately killed on' Saturday last , in consequence of being crushed between the carriage and the headstock frame ofa hand-mule in Mr . John _Mainland ' s

      mill , _Chorlton-upon-Medlock . . On Tuesday an investigation into the _eireumstaneea was made by Mr . Leonard Horner , Mr . William Graham , and Dr . John G . Harrison , in virtue of their appointments under the Factories' Regulation Act ; and after a very searching examination of the parties working in the room , it was quite evident that no blame could be charged against any person connected with the establishment , or that it arose from any unprotected machinery , but from carelessness in the boy himself , who , in the eagerness of play with another boy , unwarily placed himself within reach of machinery . "What a lie ! a factory boy playing while machinery was at work ? What a farce ? to expect condemnatory evidence from poor creatures , who , if itmade against the master , would be eveiy one bagged , and what a joke to pay Inspectors for whitewashing tyrants .

      Thieves Loos Oot . —Itis definitively determined to hold a winter assizes and gaol delivery for the counties of York and Lancaster . The _Gbasd Dose _Cohstantine of Russia . —We learn that this gentleman , who is the second son of the great , tyrant of " all . the Russias , " arrived at Plymouth with two ships , ( a line of battleship of li guns , anda Russian corvette ) at daylight on Saturday morning , and after all the other rubbish about distinguished visitor , royal 8 alates , _andserrileattendants , we read the . following disgusting announcement : — "Every preparation has been made , by the heads of the public departments here . for giving the Grand Duke a suitable reception on his landing ; and an elegant suite of apartments in the east wing of

      _EQiott ' s Royal Hotel have been prepared for his accommodation . His Imperial Highness will probably remain in Plymouth "ten days or a fortnight . " A suitable reception , indeed ! Query : What wonld be a suitable reception for such visitors ? and who is to pay for it ? John Bull will soon find out ..: Look on that picture and on this . It is now an incontrovertible fact that numbers of the Irish people must die of starvation if not sustained through the present visitation by the charity of humane and considerate individuals . We must have some better regulation about this thing called "food . " It will not do for monarehs and idlers to be feasting while their loyal subjects are all starving . _Tittm A tram-we have tn notice the further

      depression in au trades except humbug , which goes on prosperously , especially in Ireland , where there is great demand for it . The Stock Exchange . — Another frightfully gloomy day . All attempts to prop the system having failed , the thing is tumbling to pieces as fast as even we conldwish . ¦ _-.. > . „ Court Cibculab . —The following from the Times of this morning is « o much more ludicrous than any thing we could possibly write , that we give it precisely as we find it in that journal : — Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent arrived at the Castle to breakfast with the Queen and the Royal _party previous to the departure of tbe DuKe Ferdinand and Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg for Lisbon .

      ! At twenty-fire minutes past ten o ' clock , his Koyal High ness the Duke Ferdinand and his Serene Highness Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg left tbe Castle , accompanied by Prince Augustus and Baron Wangenbeim , for Slough , en route per Great Western Bailway to Exeter , where the illustrious party will rest for the night , and proceed tomorrow to Plymouth , at which place they will embark for Lisbon , attended by Baron de Freiberg and Lieutenant Colonel Wyldo to the place of embarkation . The Queen , Prince Albert , the Duchess of Kent , and the Princess _Augusia accompanied their illustrious relatives to the door of the principal entrance . _There were also present lord Byron , Colonel Sir George Couper , Colonel Bowles , and Sir Frederick Stovin . Prince Augustus of Sa * e Coburg , attended by Baron de Waugenheim , returned from Slough , after the departure of his Royal parent , to the Castle . The Prince of Wales , Prince Alfred , and the Princess _Kojal Were taking _ailings this morning .

      The Princess Augusta , attended by Madame Angelet , walked for some time this morning . . ' Their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert and Prince Augustus of Saxe Cobnrg took equestrian exercise this afternoon , attended by Lord Charles "Wellesley ; Who will say that Royally is extravagantly paid when they hear of such a multiplicity of arduous labour being performed in so short a time . We rejoice that the Byron groom , referred to above , is not the son of liberty ' s immortal bard . WjsnsEsnAT . —Irelaxo . —We have this day been favoured with some more fun from Conciliation Hall .

      At last Monday ' s meeting some of the reporters made a mistake of stating tbat a Mr . Decoy took the chair , whereas it was a Mr . _M'Coy . . Mr . O'Connell commenced by opening a thundering fire upon ns for the publication of the document entitled " Landlords and Tenants—Tyrants turning their Tenants out , " and stated that as he did not wish to extend its circulation , he could only give it to Mr . Hodges , the Government reporter ; and he also takes praise for sending it by CoL Arkins to the castle ; and Government having failed in the performance of its duty , the Liberator asserted tbat the Association should turn

      spies themselves . l Mr . Beodkick , as a means of relief , suggested tbat the sum of £ 600 , 000 may be raised by compelling the Parliamentary Railway Committees to hold their sittings in London . _ Mr . O'CoKHEii considered that Repeal would be b & _tt-fir * Mr . O'Neal moved that a committee of the Association should sit from day to day to consider the state of the potatoe crop , and compared the landlord who , nnder the circustances , would demand full rent , to Shylock , who would have his pound offlesh . The Libebatok seconded the motion , and said that Sir Robert Peel was chargeable with every _^ death that occurred from starvation , and declared that Galway , after all , was no part of Ireland , as Dean Kirwan had accepted the presidency of one of the new colleges .

      _ . „ ,. Mr . O'Neal , as a Galway man . threw up his cap for the West , and declared that Dan ' s logic was no logic at all , to which the Liberator assented . - Mr . W . S . O'Bmen supported the claims of Mr . M'Carthy to the representation of Cork ; and , in denouncing Ribandism and the several murders committed in Ireland , the honourable gentleman was led into the following dangerous admission : " In the case of Mr . M'Cloud , and many other instances , there appeared to be no _adequate cause . " Now , we are entitled to ask Mr . O'Brien what he considers an adequate cause for committing murder ? The Liberator concluded by gmng notice that the draft of a bill for the better enabling her afcyesty to summon her Parliament in Ireland would be ready 1 lour

" -

      _Cotrai Circular . —The Royal Family are _pretty much the same to-day as they were yesterday , with the exception of the few . thousands additional pay . On Tuesday , which we forgot to state , the band of the second Life Guards played while her Majesty and her friends were at dinner . Her Majesty ' s private land afterwards played while they . were drinking their , wine . Is not that good news ? Thb Gbasd Dukk _Constakiine is located ait Elliott ' s Royal Hotel , Plymouth , and we are told that ? 'a guard of protection from the 14 th Regiment is stationed at the Eastern entrance of the ; hotel , and a detachment of the Plymouth police force'is also , in attendance . " What , does this guard of protection mean ? , In such cases ; we generally read of a guard of honour ! Does the young Russian require protection ? and are there any- Poles or their wives in Plymouth ?

      _THTOsnav , iBBMNn . —ThbPotatoe Crop . —A committee of patriots is sitting at the Mansion-House in Dublin every day . -, The Liberator was left in the chair , by our lastreport—a'legging for the poor on Tuesday , and begging from the poor on Sunday . Seventy-two letters were received from all parts ofthe country , principally from clergymen , giving the most alarming accounts of the potatoe crop . ' _jlrasii Logic—We give the following specimen of Irish logic from the speech of a Mr . Prentice , land steward to Lord Culloden , delivered at one of the potvaliant meetings of the Irish landlords : — " A great and important duty ( said Mr . Prentice ) devolves npon ns all , and I trust , with God ' s blessing , we shall be able to perform it in our respective stations like men and Christians . I do not by * any means apprehend a scarcity of provisions ; we have riot had , in my experience of twenty-five years , a finer oat crop , and we have plenty of food for all who are able

      to pay for it , and also some to spare ; but I do confess I feel some alarm for a large portion of our population whose earninp will not be sufficient to purchase a better description of food than that to . which they hava been so long accustomed , and , the general failure of which , will place them in peculiar . difficulties—I mean the agricultural labourer , to whom we all owe so much , and whose sufferings we are bound now to alleviate . The man who has a little , farm , and is able to keep his cow and pig , can , from the hi g h price of every article of produce , surmount his difficulties ; but the poor labourer , who has nothing to depend on but the produce of his not to a garden and conacre for the support of himself and his family , is placed in a deplorable condition ,, and requires to be cheered and supported by us in the . time of his severe trial . " Well done Prentice .. - So , with God's blessing , you'll act like a Christian , and , like one of Job ' s comforters , you tell us that we have plenty of food for all who are able to pat for it . .

      The Government Scheme for Brising -ihe Catholic Pbiests . —By one of the most'unaccountable pieces of magic ever heard of * Dr . Kirwan , the Roman Catholie clergyman who has accepted the presidency of one ofthe " Godless" colleges—godless , because it will instruct the people , has become friendly to the bill , although we learn that before his appointment he was its greatest opponent , and the Times tells us that no doubt he saw sufficient cause for the change . No doubt he did ; and the people will see it yet ; but then if it contaminates the best , what chance is there for the doubtful . , The fact is this , that Daniel * O'Connell sanctions every kind of jugglery- — no matter who the performers are , that he may the more easily fleece the natives .

      ¦ : England . —We had a . peep into the lunatic asylurii , alias the Stock Exchange , to-day , and the inmates have really gone mad . Consols down . Securities going and all up , and all in . consequence of the one little cloudy spot over the Oregon . . What a nation we are , when tke chances of what Mr . Polk in , Washington is thinking about , regulates , the price of our gold , the value of every one of our commodities , and the rate of wages , and makes us all quake in our breeches . Thereis no international feeling , for we venture to say thatthe _RuMiBLiCASfs are not troubling their heads with what our Legitimatists are doing . A foreigner visited this country some time since , when a friend undertook to show him the lions of London , _* amongst otlier places , the stranger expressed an anxious desire to see the lunatic asylum , and his friend being a bit of a wag , took him to the door of the Exchange at business hours , when the wild beasts

      were bellowing out what they had to sell like thunder . There , said he , showing him the interior—there ' s the "lunatic asylum . " , By G— , exclaimed the foreigner , they're all loose ; and away he scampered as fast as he could peg . . Foreign . —Not a word is heard in any quarter but Oregon ; as war now appears , inevitable , and while wearewriting , her Majesty ' s Ministers , our sapient rulers , are putting their heads together to discover how they can best avert the danger . We'll tellt hem ; let them give us the Land and the Charter , then we shan't much care who possesses the wilderness abroad , or the " cows afar off with long horns . " Russia . —The infernal devil , "old nick , " whose son wc are feasting at Plymouth , as it will be seen by ' o ' ur report , not satisfied with the blood of men , has begun to slake his royal tliirst with the blood of innocent women , having first consigned them to the tender mercies of his lewd soldiers who ravish them .

      Englishmen I just thmkol a beast , a monster , a devil , a brute , a murderer , sending poor nuns out oftheir simple habitation , handing them over to his soldiers to be ravished , working them naked in gangs at the heaviest man's labour , Hogging them to death , and making them dig their . own graves , and burying them alive , and think of the English people feasting his son . But , thank God , he requires a protective guard and a posse of blues to look after him . Windsor Election . — The Government , the court , the Life Guards , and the young gentlemen of Eton , have become so highly elated with their recent triumph over the constitution , that they have actually removed the only obstacle in their way to such another triumph . Mr . Neville , one of the members _.

      _aas been bought off with a place of £ 1 , 200 a-year : so aurrah for the broom-sticks and black thorns : —But it would be a queer thing , if , in the next fun we were seen with a " spade thee , " or sideof a ladder clearing the streets of the Life Guards , the young gentlemen of Eton , and Mr . Magistrate Blunt . We'll undertake to clear the streets of _Windsor-7 barring powder , of soldiers , and all with one hundred paddies with a " bit of blackthorn" a-piece . We understand tbat the butcher of Long-lane , Bermondsey , who was Molesworth ' s right hand man at the Southwark election , occupied the same situation under Col . Reid at the last Windsor election , and we learn that he actually diaed at the mess of her Majesty ' Life Guards . We thought there must have been a butcher inthe way ' .

      Friday . —Ireland . —The Potatoe Crop . —On Wednesday , the committee sitting atthe Mansion House , Dublin , adopted a series of resolutions to the effect that the potatoe disease is still progressing to a very alarming extent , that more than one-third of the crop has been already destroyed , whilst no human means can be relied upon to save tlie remainder , that famine and disease are impending , and are sure to afflict the country , unless timely relief and precautions be adopted—that the conduct of the Government in delaying the meeting of Parliament at such a time is deserving of the severest reprehension , as tlieir inactivity and apathy have perilled the lives of hundreds of thousands , and that an address be presented to the Queen , praying her Majesty to direct that prompt and effectual measures should be taken for thesafety of the Irish people . The letters received this day ( Wednesday ) in Dublin give most deplorable aecounts of the progress ofthe disease .

      TnE Irish Landlords , even in the present unhappy state of things , cannot refrain from their acts of infernal tyranny ; a Mr . Tuthill , the owner of land near Nenagh , is " evicting" his tenanti for non-payment of rent . One fact highly honourable to the bailiffs employed in this . deserves to be mentioned ; they refused to level the dwellings , and , to a man , turned out against the jobeven though they were offered 10 s . per day . -ine peasantry cheered them , and the sheriff , the military , aad the police , had to march back again .

      Destruction Of The Glasgow City Theatre ...

      DESTRUCTION OF THE GLASGOW CITY THEATRE BY FIRE . ' Late last night , or rather early this morning , the above splendid building , on the Public-green , with all its valuable scenery , internal decorations , and otlier theatrical appurtenances , was entirely destroyed by fire , with the exception of the walls , which still remain . The most providential , and , at the same time , satisfactory consideration is , tbat the fire occurred after the performances of the evening had closed , and when thc audience had taken their departure to their homes . The internal part of the theatre being constructed almost entirely of wood and other inflammable materials , when the whole erection became enveloped , it formed a sight at once fearful and sublime . It commenced precisely about ten minutes past twelve o ' clock ; and , although there was a heavy fall of rain at the time , it had no effect in diminishing the awful grandeur of the scene to the beholder . The

      prevention of further damage than the loss of the theatre itself , from the commencement , appeared to-be the only judicious course left to the fire-brigade , and it was ably followed out by Mr . Robertson , of the Glasgow police establishment , to whose activity and diligence , in playing upon Mr . Miller ' s Adelphi Theatre , may be ascribed the preservation of that _ex-, tensive establishment . We have not heard as to * the origin of the fire ; but we are sorry to learn that by the misfortune nearly sixty persons will be deprived of employment , and that a large amount oftheir little properties , _sach as music and dresses , is entirely lost to them . The theatre itself is valued at several thousand , pounds ; but Mr . Anderson , the proprietor ( well known as the "Wizard ofthe North )* , we believe , is fully insured . in the York , West of England , and Sun Fire-offices . —Glasgow _GA )* o » scZe ..

      .., HORRIBLE OUTRAGE . - _Oswestrv , Nov . 19 . —During the last few days this usuallv quiet little town has been disturbed by the commission of an outrage for which , in some of its revolting details , it were difficult to find a parallel . The facts , so far as they have transpired at a preliminary investigation of one of the district magistrates are as follow : — It appears that an aged woman name Susannah Rider , late a pauper in the Ellesmere Union Workhouse , had gone to reside with her son ; a labourer , who , with his sister , occupied a cottage near Llanymyneeh . The mother , who is presumed to besubject to mental aberration , was ; at such times wholly ungovernable , 'and even desperate when _contradicted She had a predilection to wander from ho ' me ; > ndil was the province of the daughter , a - sickly lyoung woman , to prevent her leaving the -cottage when under the influence of this unhappv malady . On Friday morning last , the son having _gone'to his usual empty-meat , tbe oU womaa got up , t % go out , wWci

      .., Horrible Outrage. - Oswestrv, Nov. 1...

      the daughter resisted , biit , finding expostulation use-( less , she locked the door , putting the key into ; her pocket . ; This . served to increase the old woihanV fury . Seising an iron-mounted bill-hook , she , at ont blow , laid her helpless victim prostrate on the floor _, and whilst in a state of total insensibility , proceeded with savage ferocity to inflict several wounds on hei head and body ; but her rage did not stop ' there . Having dragged the body of her apparently dead child into an adjoining apartment , the wretched maniac proceeded to the commission of another act , of atro _^ city , which / can be no further described . ' : The inmates of an adjoining cottage having overheard the original altercation , and being aware of the old wbihan ' s violent disposition ,, knocked repeatedly at the doorbut

      , failing to obtain admittance , some person went for young Rider , the son , who , with ' some of his neighbours , made forcible entry into tbe house , when they found every appearance that a desperate struggle had taken place . In the inner apartment the body ofthe daughter was discovered , from which a stream of blood had flowed to the threshold of the door . The outer room was also strewn with clots of blood and human hair torn off in the struggle . The wretched old woman , who was discovered huddled up in a corner ol the room , was immediately secured . A broom-handle , the last weapon used , lay near her , one end clotted with gore . Mr . Owen , a medical gentleman , was called in , and restoratives bavins

      been copiously administered , the poor sufferer showed signs of life . Her wounds having been dressed , she was placed in bed , and on the following day was sufficiently recovered to be ab ' e to explain the origin of the conflict . The miserable mother has been taken before . R . Aubrey , one of the magistrates of the Oswestry bench , for a preliminary examination , when the facts above detailed were taken down in writing . Mr . Owen , the surgeon stated that the partial recovery of the girl was solely attributable to the powerful stimulants administered _^ but he entertains no hope of saving her life , as mortification is almost invariably consequent upon the peculiar injury alludedto .

      Horrible Murder And Robbery Near ¦ ' . !...

      HORRIBLE MURDER AND ROBBERY NEAR ¦ ' . KNOWLE ; IN'WARWICKSHIRE . A murder , under circumstances of a peculiarly atrocious character , has been committed upon the person of a _^ respectable old man , named Tranter , a farmer , residing in a lone house situate in the parish of Berkeswell , midway between the Coventry and HamptDn Railway Stations . The old man appears to have been of a most eccentric character ; so much so , that he would not allow any person to sleep in the house with him . He breakfasted last Monday morning with a boy named SatchweU ; whom he employed about his grounds , and afterwards went with him into a field , to point out the work he wished to be done in the course of the day . A short time afterwards the old man returned to his house , and was not again seen alive . At ten o'clock the boy observed

      that the shutters of the house were closed . This circumstance does not , however , seem to have excited any particular attention in his mind , it being customary for the old man to do this whenever he left the house . About one o'clock the lad went to the- house to obtain his dinner , and finding the doore . closed , he knocked loudly several times , but received no answer . He then went away , but returned in the evening , and the following morning , the house still remaining shut up , this circumstance gave rise to suspicion , and on Wednesday morning the door was broken open , and oti searching the house the body ol the old man was discovered in a closet , covered with blood , and on examining the corpse an immense cut was observed on the back part of the head . A carpenter's axe and a bill-hook lay near the body , both of these having quantities of bloed and hair clotted round the edges .

      ' The state of the house made it evident that the main object ofthe villains was plunder , every drawer and cupboard being ransacked , and it is generally believed that the eld man kept a considerable sum of money in the house . This atrocious deed has created much excitement in the neighbourhood , but no clue has yet been obtained that is likely to lead to the discovery of the murderers , except that on the day the act is supposed to have been : committed two men ( strangers ) inquired of a boy the way to the old man ' s house , and whether he was likely to be at home . They have not been heard of since . An inquest was held yesterday ( Friday ) , but no new facts were elicited .
