      White Slavery, In England.—Tea Fhc In Hu...

If you have four acres you nc 0 t , by any possibility , do aH in time ; but if two , T 0 O trill have a much better chance of success , and , " collect , loss of crops is loss of time , season and * _ee too . I beg of all our friends advocating the i „ 2 r-scr'dalIotments * o weigh well the subject ; search , aD Q jou will find , I am sure more telling arguments than mine to prove my text . The two acres of Land _^ n , require all your time to develope its resources . * rDe Land ' s value is not known , even our friend Feargus O'Connor estimates its value much , -very much below tbe mark . In fact , agriculture instead of being in its infancy , is not born yet . Nature has done nearly all , _anJ notart .

      _jauso . —A Liverpool correspondent desires to know whether he can obtain an impartial history of Poland ia the English language , and if so , where it can be obtained . We hare made enquiry of an eminent Polish patriot , who informs ms that he has good reason to believe that no such work is in existence . Cielisle . — -We have received an account of a meeting of members of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , where held is not stated , but the letter bears the Carlisle post-mark . Most likely the letter would be found unobjectionable , and entitled to a place in our columns could we read it , but that is not possible . We beg to inform the writer of the said report , and other correspondents besides him , that we are not mesmerists , nor hare wa been mesmerised . We can only read in the ordinary way , and if communications are not written in accordance with ordinary sense we cannot read

      -them , and consequently cannot give them insertion . At the said meeting the following resolutions were adopted : — "That the allotments should be divided according to priority of payment , " " That the society _bs legally enrolled according to the opinion of counsel . " " Tbatthe Chartist Co-operative Land Society consist of an unlimited number of members , to be divided into sections of not more than 6 , 000 members each , " "That a meeting oftbe society be held on Monday , Dee . 1 st , to elect a delegate to attend the forthcoming Confer-• enee . " "That the delegate be requested to support the re-election of the present Board of Directors . " Some other resolutions appear to bave been adopted , lint their purport it is impossible for us to make out . The Factoby Ststeh . —A correspondent at Stockport mites tiiat one George Pox , an overlooker at Mr . Howard ' s mill , gave publicity to a scandalous report respecting two young women tbat worked under Mm . S . Williamson , one of the young women , about fifteen years of age , told the master , and he sent for Fox , but Fox denied having set the scandal about . The

      employer said if anyone said anything to her about the scandal , they should be immediately turned away from the mill , because the report was not true . But mark , in about a week or so after tbat , S . Williamson went to fetch some bobbins , the overlooker caught her out of her alley , " and forthwith he cursed her for all that was bad , throttled her , and dragged her out of the room by the hair of her head . For this infamous assault she summonsed bim before the magistrates on the 5 th of November ; there were three factory lords on the bench , Messrs . Howard , Gee , and Wilkinson , Mayor . After they bad heard the two witnesses for the young woman , James Banester was called on behalf -of Fox , who said , "be saw For dragging the young woman ( 3 . Williamson ) out of the room by the hair of her head . " ( The man was leaving , and therefore . spoke the truth . ) The Mayor told Pox his witness had done him no good ; he must , therefore , be fined five shillings and costs . The witnesses returned to their work ; but Fox sent one of them ( Hannah Bradbury ) away , at a minute ' s notice , saying , " He would see that she had no more work in the town . " She has been to

      . several places in the town , and they have refused her wort , because she went against Fox . She nas no home , and has been obliged to throw herself upon the . streets to snpport herself . Tbe other witness ' s name was Elizabeth Lomas , and Fox so abused her , that she has been obliged to leave . The overlookers have a union amongst themselves , and consequently are _enabled to prevent any worker , male or female , obtaining employment , who may incur the displeasure of any one of this gang of petty , but cruel and heartless despots . _Hascdesier _Tatlobs . —At eleven o ' clock on Friday morning we received a lengthy report of a public meetiuj oftbe Manchester tailors , holden on Wednesday evening . It is impossible to give the report this week . Ora Agents will please observe , that it is only communications for the paper that are to be addressed to tie Editor . All orders and other matters , not intended for tbe Editor , are still to be addressed as before , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., _JTortliern Star Office , 16 , Great _Wmduull-streetjnaymarket _, London ,

      Mosdat.—Irelavd.—-The Potatoe Crop. —As ...

      Mosdat . —Irelavd . — -The Potatoe Crop . —As we predicted , it isnowdiscovered _thatthediseaesis in tub potatoe , and that the whole crop stands in imminent danger . We hare before directed attention to the several recommendations of the . three chemists , which , we suppose , may be looked upon as the Precursor Association in the potatoe movement . They have contrived to heap such an amazing amount of rubbish together , that the appointment of a very large commission , consisting of inspectors of constabulary , military officers , inspectors of coast guard , Poor Law Commissioners and their under secretaries , with Capt . J . P . Kennedy as their secretary , has been considered necessary to aid in analysing the said

      rubbish . This , like most of Sir Robert Peel ' s measures , is a faithful following of Whig practice . The formation of this commission is announced by Sir Thomas Freemantle , the Irish secretary , in a kind of circular to the lieutenants of counties—and the reader may judge of the speed anticipated from its workings from the following concluding passage of the secretary ' s letter . He says : — "Should your lordship be prevented , by absence from tlie country , indisposition , or any other cause , from giving your attention , personally , to this important question , his Excellency would propose to nominate one of ths deputy-lieutenants ofyourcounty , onyourlordshi p ' s recommendation . " Now this panic is called an emergency : all cry speed , and all complain of the absence of a local directing influence to enforce proper economy and a

      proper mode of preventing the spread of disease , while we find the Irish secretary committing a . most palpable Irish bull . He says in his circular , "If you are absent from home , " that is , if you are at Vienna , Naples , Rome , or St . Petersburgh , you are to recommend a substitute to his Excellency . " This is the way that Irish business is always transacted by English officials . Men that never saw a potatoe till it was boiled are appointed as commissioners , and absentees are appointed as the executors of their will . From all parts of the country the prospect of famine increases , while the Government acts upon ihe old principle "live _herse and you'll get grass , " and , reversing the nursery adage , " to shut your month , and opes your eyes , and see what God will send vou . "

      Liberal Corporate Economy . —Some months ago , Mr . John Reynolds , a repealer , had the matchless effrontery to bring charges of gross corruption against the immaculate liberal Corporation of Dublin . The Liberator ( Alderman O'Connell ) , threatened to annihilate him for this glaring act of contumacy . A meeting of the Town Council was held on Friday last , at which the Liberator determined to strike the last blow at the presumptuous Reynolds , and Reynolds was determined to have a kick at Dan himself , and the whole affair is so funny , and the manner in which Irish liberals answer charges of corruption with long yarns is so characteristic , we cannot refrain from giving the dialogue just as we find it .

      "Mr . M'Loughlin observed that oratory had been very injurious to that corporation . It had given them a thirteen days' discussion , and hadbeen the means of preventing them from getting their 4 per Cents , reduced to 31 . As for the debate itself , it had been transmitted all over the continent , and the eloquence of the members had , ere this , been wafted up the Rhine , and down the Danube , and up the Mediterranean to Constantinople , and across the Atlantic to America , ( Loud laughter ) . " Mr . John Reynolds saidthathis friend Mr M'Loughlin need not be so severe on the debate , since he himself had taken a Tery active part in it , and his own speech had probably been translated into all the languages in Europe . " Alderman O'Connell—That is an exceedingly small consolation to a person of his respectability , after being harassed and taunted by persons who ought to look to themselves how they address a man enjoying the high position of my friend , Mr . M'Loughlin .

      " Mr . Reynolds . —I presume we are all on a level here , and so long as lam a man I will not permit any remarks to be made , no matter from what quarter , that will compromise my individual respectability with that of any other man . lam as respectable in every relation of life as Mr . M'Loughlin . "Alderman _O'ConneU . —Indeed , your are not ; you were never more mistaken in your life . "Mr . Reynolds . —That is your opinion , not mine ; neither will I permit any one to address such observations tome . " Alderman O'Connell . — As for permission , that is not required . Let us have no foolish bullying here . " Mr . Reynolds . —I will not permit it , - and"Alderman O'ConneU—Thirteen days ought to be enough for you . " Mr . Reynolds . —I would do the same again . " Alderman O'ConneU . —I am sure you would .

      "Mr . Reynolds . —I occupied a part of that time in warding off an obnoxious tax with which the citizens were menaced . It is exceedingly improper to introduce this again . " Alderman Keshan said that he would not have allowed the debate alluded to to bave gone on had he been in the chair , and the house to have been treated with the contumely which hadbeen bestowed upon it . " So then , if the Corporation of Dublin imposes an obnoxious tax upon the citizens , the only penalty to which its members is to be subjected is that of thirteen days jaw .

      O . ve op inE Fikst Symptoms op Distress . —It is with sorrow that we find the crime of murder on the daily increase in Ireland , while the government and resident gentry are calmly looking on with folded arms at the dreadful cause of crime . Stock Exchange . —The failure of one firm in Dublin has had the effect of depressing the price of shares in every line , and to add to the present distress , it is confidently anticipated that many of the railway projects must be abandoned . The Tribute . —This collection seems to have received an additional stimulus from the prospect of

      famine , and to the honour of the Irish people ihey are determined that the Liberator shall come within Mr . Prentis's category of those who will find enough in the country if they have money to buy it . The Irish Catholic Bishops . —It apears that the apple of discord has had the intended eflect upon the Roman Catholic hierarchy , six out _oFeighteen of the bishops having declared _thair approval of the godless scheme of Government education , while all have agreed to leave ihe question to the final settlement of the Pope , and thus the question may be considered finally settled , as his Holiness will surely vote for Peel against O'Connell . - -- - f _» I i it _

      Exglaxd . —There is nothing spoken of but the Oregon . It constitutes the conversation of all circles , and the standard of the Stock Exchange . Consols are going down , shares are going down , and , in the midst of all attempts to prop the tumbling concern , the leading papers are condemned to appear without supplements , and are , consequently , one and all furious with poor Jonathan , for daring to assert his right to his own . Our power to crush America is a thing spoken of as if we were in possession of her ashes , while her power to injure us is laughed at ; and the old system of divide and conquer is relied upon . Thus the leading journals of both sides would endeavour to foment strife between the Northern and Southern States , and now open their eyes to the abominations of slavery . _TVe will say merely a word here upon the relative destructive capabilities oi the two nations . Our fire ships may , in passing , uui

      pay their com pliments to Sandy iiook , ana may -y New York in its ashes , it is true , but if we consign their buildings to ashes , as the old women in olden times cast their tea to the deep , may Hot their successors consign their cotton to the same element ? "Pooh , ' pooh ! nonsense , nonsense , " respond the speculators , -whoknow nat the meaning of patriotism ; " the Southern States know their own interest too well . " True , so they may , but a war of pride will absorb all personal considerations and private interests , and the battle cry will not be " cotton and money , " but " liberty and vengeance . " Moreover , there is no war that would be so unpopular to the English mind as that war in which the hired mercenary may be called upon to shoot his father or his brother , in a struggle for that liberty which they were denied in their own country ; and , thank God , the public mind has sow some influence in public matters . Famixe . —Look on this picture and on this . From _allnarta of the country the daily papers continue to

      publish accounts of declining trade rnuu , ™ o short time , hands turned out , P _^ fonsi rising _; in priee , and distress _increasing _™» _™ _* K £ l now look on this . We understand , that when the Court returns fromthe Isle of WU £ to Wind or the entertainments and festivities will be upon _» scale ol unusual splendour a 7 id magnificence , we win uuu damage the contrast by a word of comment . Tni Stock ExcnAxk-This has been the dullest day that the banditti has had since the panic Am * little spec in the west is hourly being magm hea into a portentous cloud , overshadowing the whole city , and paralvsing every branch of trade . From Liverpool we hear of no fewer than three distressing _suicides within the last week , owing to disappointment in railway speculation , while every other town in the country contributes its full share to the sad

      TcesdaT . —To-day there is a complete dearth of news , and we wait for _to-morroVs post to bring us our usual amount of fun , ftorp . Conciliation Hall , ne

      Mosdat.—Irelavd.—-The Potatoe Crop. —As ...

      learn that the panic' in Ireland has , taken a frightful turn in a run upon the savings' banks , and that the military and police . have been ordered but to protect the strong box of the Government : Trade Association . So much for confidence . The Potatoe Crop . —Some Irish jobbers , who think that they have laid in a sufficient stock of sound potatoes ,, are beginning to discover that the potatoe failure is all romance , and that , in fact , there never was so abundant a crop . This change , of opinion has been occasioned by two circumstances ; firstly , the damage sustained from a lutted market

      g produced by panic ; and , secondly , from au apprehension that their sound potatoes -won't keep for a legitimate rise . How melancholy , that a set of speculating ruffians should be thus allowed to regulate the price of the people ' s food . Upon the other hand , the sapient commissioners and professors are coming to our conclusion long since published , tbat the disease is more or less in every potatoe . Molly _Magoire . —We learn that , notwithstanding the " great exertions " of Captain Plunkett and the magistrates , that Molly and her children are making frightful havoc in Cavan .

      The Tribute . —Accounts daily reach us of the success of the tribute , which promises to exceed any previous year in amount . Who would spoil such a commerce by making slaves independent ? We take the following from a Cork paper : —* 'What to . do with rotten potatoes ? Pay the repeal rent and O'Connell tribute with them as in kind . " England . —Speculators appear resolved to rest upon their oars until the opinion of one little man in America respecting the Oregon territory shall be made known ; and as the herald of war is not likely to arrive here before the middle of next month , we cannot anticipate a very lively action in the money or share markets , both of which , in the language of the Jews , are gone to the devil .

      The Railwats . —Yesterday no fewer than ninety railway surveyors arrived at Euston-square station from Ireland , to deposit their plans and sections , and all sorts of humbug , in the proper place for receiving them , previous to the 30 th , which is the last day allowed for that purpose . ( Query—Did they bring the necessary deposits in money or potatoes ?) On the 1 st of next month the London and Birmingham directors propose to make a large reduction in the rate of fares . Upon the Continent there are five classes—first , second , third , fourth , and fifth . The second is made comfortable with cushions and good seats '; the third is covered and spacious ; the fourth has seats , but is not covered : and the fifth resembles

      the old Leeds and Manchester third class , with the exception that there are no holes bored in the bottom , to blow poor creatures who could badly afford to pay third class fare into the ssecond ; and , moreover , those classes are alway attached-to every train , and placed most advantageously for shelter , whereas in England the poor people , whose only property is their time , spend fifteen hours in going from London to Manchester , while the wealthy , who plunder them , perform the same journey in five hours and a half ; and when there is an open third class , it is invariably placed in the * ¦ wind ' s eye , " that the naked may have the benefit of the breeze as well as a smash .

      Foreigner ' s Opinion of English Distinction . — When upon the Continent , Mr . O'Connor had to present his passport to an official , who happened to be a Frenchman , and well versed in politics , and , upon reading the name , he observed ; " Ah , that ' s a famous name . " "Ifear , " said Mr . O'Connor , "thefame of mine is only to be found in the prison calendar . " "Ah , that is nothing , that is nothing , " responded the official , " with all your boasted liberty in England . it is to the dungeon , or the grave , you must look for your great men . Court Circular . —We learn that the unpropitious state of the weather , ' preventing the Royal family from taking their accustomed exercise on the slopes and in the parks , the Queen ha 3 been engaged

      in knitting stockings and cutting out warm dresses for the poor of the neighbourhood , while Prince Albert has been _engaged in cutting down the usual allowance of the Royal stud , and otherwise _economising the food of the poor . To Punch . —A friend presents his best compliments to Mr . Punch , and , from a thorough conviction of the great good produced by his inimitable pictorial representations , begs leave to present him with the three following subjects for cartoons : —No . 1 . A group of all the monarchs of the earth , standing with their crowns in their hands , and above a large rotten lumper crowned , and underneath , these words , " Who rules the roast now V—No . ' 2 . A large laundry , withallthenecessaryutensilsandimplements of the craft—with the Irish Commissineors and Lord

      Lieutenant and suite , getting up the rotten potatoes for use . Mr . Punch may please himself as to costume , but would recommend a pleasing mixture of professional and military , for machinery , vide 67 th Report of the Irish Commissioners . —No . 3 . A granary , with wheat , and the idle pensioners represented as fat rats , with starving operatives as ratcatchers , in the act of destroying them . The costume of the rats we also leave to the acknowledged taste of our valued contemporary . Wednesday . — Ireland . — Conciliation - II all . — Mr . _O'Neil again moved that the expenditure of nearly a million of money upon Irish Railway Committees should be transferred from London to Dublin .

      In our opinion a very just and proper proposition . Mr . Smith O'Brien seconded the motion , and Mr . O'Connell , who proposed the Repeal of the Union as a substitute last week , supported it . The Liberator and the Gutter Commissioner . —The principal business of the day was a Platonic set-to between the Liberator and the Times' Commissioner—the Liberator walloping and belabouring the absentee to his heart ' s content , and the affair concluding by the Liberator declaring that he was no middleman , as he only held under a corporation , and

      onZy received £ 30 profit rent out of _Cahirciveen , and , characteristically enough , called to his aid a publication called the Sports > nan , as umpire . Upon the whole , we think Dan had decidedly the best of every round , and was ultimately declared victor , but a dispute arising , Mr . Foster declares that he was up to "time , " so that we may expect another fight for the championship . The performance was meagre , in consequence of the receipts for the week being announced , amid great disapprobation , at the low figure of £ 158 2 s . 9 d .

      War . —The army is to be augmented by 20 , 000 men , and early in the ensuing year the militia is to be ballotted for ; and we understand that Repealers , or any who have contributed to the Repeal rent , will be rejected . If so , wo are curious to know where the new force will come from , and , if not so , we are yet more curious to see what the "boys" will do with their new Repeal playthings . . England . —For the general news we refer to our more extensive reports , as it is deficient of that piquancy which would entitle it to a place in our " smellin g bottle . "

      TnE Railways . —Still each train brings its full number of surveyors , and here , perhaps , it may not be amiss to state one of those substantial causes that has led to the embarrassment of several railway companies . Our friend , Clarke , a land surveyor , of Herefordshire , and one of the delegates to the celebrated Conference of 1 S 42 , has for many months past been in receipt of twenty-five guineas a-week in surveying one of the proposed new lines for seven days work in the week . Another acquaintance of ours , whose instruments were in pawn at the time of his appointment , has been for a longer period in receipt of thirty-five guineas a-week , and on . expressing our

      astonishment at this large salary , he assured us that it was rather moderate as the service was extremely dangerous , one oftbe conditions annexed to the office being that he should knock the brains out of any b——y gamekeeper , or clodpole ; that atttempted to resist his passage through the Squire ' s land . Two ruffians who had particularly recommended themselves by their darine and recklessness at the late fight between Bendigo and Caunt , were engaged at a salary of four guineas a-weck each , as the lifeguards of a gentleman whose lot it was to survey a line through the estate of a certain pugnacious Squire , a great supporter of the fancy .

      Stock Exchange . —Every day our monetary concerns and share market become more and more distressing , and we regret to find that the ignorant poor , who had left good steady employment for the promise of railway speculation , are amongst the greatest sufferers . This is always the worst of panic , 'f lie poor , the unconscious , and unprotected , are ever the greatest victims to the rich and privileged . Foreign . —The Oregon spec increases with fearful rapidity , and the prospect of war is the all absorbing topic with those who traffic in human blood , at home and abroad . When willEngland be in a situation to keep the wolf from her own door , and when will her rulers be able to conduct our domestic concerns without reference to every Will-o ' -the-wisp that appears in the remotest corners of the earth ? Answer . When the people have the power to appoint the ministry , and when the greatness of the nation shall consist in a community of happy individuals , who , having their rights , will know how to defend them for themselves .

Parish of Berkswell . — Coventry , ' ' Thursday : Night . —The inquiry into the circumstances attending the death oftbe unfortunate man Tranter , " who ' was murdered in his own house , on , the l _? th inst ., took place on Wednesday , and was adjourned until to-day , when the jury returned a verdict of "Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown . " So far it is suspected that a man named Read is the murderer . The government Police Gazette contains the following information respecting the man named William Read , alias James Reed : — " The suspected murderer , who has absconded , and is supposed to be Working on one

      of the railways , is described as about 19 or 20 years ofage ,. five feet four inches high , stout made , and when talking has a smiling countenance ; had on a nair of harrow cord trousers , which had a hole in the left thigh , and is supposed to have with him an old pair of plaid trousers and an old dark jacket , which he may be wearing . He is believed to be in the neighbourhood of Birmingham . " A New Way of Spreading Population . —A young man , named Charles Thomas Knight , a pressman in the employment of Mr . G . Peirce , printer , 310 , Strand , London , was on Monday week brought before the magistrates at Bow-street , charged with stealing at various times from the warehouse of his employer

      , abovt 700 copies of a work entitled " the True Law of Population , " which lie had sold in sheets to various persons for what he could get . Mr . Peirce having occasion to bind more copies , was astonished at finding the entire work missing . The prisoner , howeyer / _havins been seen by Mr . Levi , a Jew , leaving Air . Peirce ' s premises in a suspicious way , with bundles of paper , had watched him , and some of the sheets were traced to , and found in the possession of tradesmen who had bought them as waste paper . The offence being fully brought home , the prisoner was committed to Newgate for trial at the next sessions at the Old Bailey , for this new mode of " spreading population . "

      Singular Charge op Poaching . —At the last meeting Of the Kingston bench of magistrates , a person of respectable appearance , named William _Sfacey , attended to answer an information charging him with , having unlawfully trespassed upon the estate of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge , at Coombe , near Kingston , in pursuit of game . Arthur Dunford , gamekeeper in the service . of his royal highness , deposed that about nine o ' clock on the evening of the 13 th of November , he was on duty in the game preserve at Coombe Wood , when he observed a greyhound , which , in his presence , turned up a hare which it pursued , overtook , and killed , and was about to walk off with it in its mouth , when he struck it with a stick , and it then dropped the

      hare and ran away . He followed the dog to " one ol the entrances of the wood , called the Gravel Pit-gate , where it joined two persons , who walked away accompanied by the dog . He gave information to one ot the horse patrol , who followed the parties , and he himself shortly went in the same direction , and came up with the defendant and another person , and upon his asking who the dog belonged to , the defendant said it was his , and he at the same time gave his name and address . In answer to a question from the bench the keeper said he took the dog from the defendant and it was stil l in his possession . He added that he had no doubt , from the way it went to work , that it was a regular poaoher , and understood its business perfectly woll , and he considered it

      was worth twenty guineas . The defendant , in answer to the charge , said that the fact was , he did come but for a walk , and brought the dog with him , and when they got near the wood they , niissed the dog , and he and his friend went to the gate , where they were seen by the keeper , to look for him , and shortly afterwards the dog came up to them , and they walked away , not at all imagining that the dog had been doing anything , until they were followed by the keeper , and on his stating what had happened , he readily gave his name and address- With regard to the alleged poaching propensities of the animal , he assured the bench that he was perfectly ignorant that it possessed them , and he was not even aware that he was near a game preserve at the time the

      dog left him and his friend . He _assured'the bench that if he had committed an offence it was quite unintentional on his part . _^ The magistrates after a short consultation convicted the dedendant _, but under the circumstances said they should only inflict a fine of two _shilingsand the costs . The amount was immediately paid , and upon the application of the defendant the greyhound was ordered to be delivered nptohim . Suicide at Birmingham . —On Saturday last an inquest was held on the body of a girl named Ellen Steele , sixteen years of age , whose parents resided in Garrison-lane , and who had for five months lived at service with Mr . and Mrs . Moseley _, in Camden-street , from which place she had been for some improper conduct summarily dismissed on the morning of her

      death . She had appeared somewhat cheerful through the day , and had been into the town to purchase some articles of dress ; but at night went out of the house and threw herself offan adjacent bridge into the canal . A medical examination proved that she was enceinte , and some words it appears had passed between her and her mother during the day on her altered condition . The jury returned a verdict of Suicide under Temporary Insanity . Extraordinary Suicide . —On Wednesday forenoon , William Carter , Esq ., the coroner , held an inquest in the board-room of Newington workhouse , Walworthroad , on the body of Isaac Drew , aged forty-five years . James Harding , of Brandon-street , Walworth , deposed that he had known the deceased for some time past , as occupying a small shed in the same yard ,

      belonging to Mr . Riddle , a cab-driver . The deceased was a Breeder of pigs , and was well-known as a most eccentric character . On Monday morning last , between six aud seven o ' clock , whilst witness was in the yard , he observed the door of the shed wide open , and on looking in he saw the deceased suspended to one of the cross beams . Witness raised an alarm and sent for inspector Collier , of the P division , who cut the deceased down . He was placed in a shell and removed to the workhouse . Witness slept in a van the night previous , at the end of the yard , and in the middle of the night the deceased came home very much intoxicated , and caused great annoyance by knocking at the side of the vehicle with a large hammer . He forced in the panel of the door , but was subsequently persuaded to go to his bed , which was made of ' a blanket placed at tho end of a large pig-sty . The deceased was of very filthy habits , and was very evidently in a deranged state , and generally ' spoke in

      an incoherent manner . Inspector Collier , of the P division , stated that he was called by the last witness to the deceased , whom he found hanging by a rope , which was fastened to a beam over a pig-sty . The place _^ was in a horrible condition ; and how any human person could exist in such a dreadful den , he could not conceive . The deceased sold his pigs on Saturday for £ 5 . Thore were only Cs . and a few coppers in his pocket . Hannah Drew the wife of the deceased , said that she had been in the workhouse of St . George ' s Southwark . The deceased was formerly a master butcher , in a large way of business , in High-streot , Southwark . but from his dissipated habits had been much reduced . About three weekssince he called to see her at the workhouse , he was then in an excited state . The jury returned the following verdict : — " That the deceased had destroyed his . own life , be ing at the time , in a state of temporary mental derangement , brought on by his habits of intemperance . "

      Dreadful Explosion At The Bishopswearmou...

      DREADFUL EXPLOSION AT THE BISHOPSWEARMOUTH IRON WORKS . Sunderland , Thursday , November 27 . —Yesterday a painful sensation was occasioned in this town , in consequence of an awful destruction of buraan life by the bursting of a large boiler at Bisbopswearmouth Iron Works , belonging to Messrs . lUchardson and Co . These works , which are situated a very short distance from Sunderland , are very extensive . Upwards of 800 hands are employed , and about 200 men and boys in that portion of the premises where the accident occurred . At eight o ' clock yesterday morning , most of the men employed at the works left for brcakfust ; -about forty or fifty remained on the premises , the greater portion of whom were in the rolling-mill and the immediate vicinity , having their breakfasts brought to them . Five or ten minutes after tho men had , left the boiler burst with tremendous force , and was slavered to pieces by the explosion _. Some of the pieces struck the roof , which was broken to fragments ; others brought down a large adjoining chimney , and were thrown to a considerable distance , doing damage

      to the glass works of Messrs . Hartley and Co ., and the Ilatton steam-engine adjoining . Several poor fellows who were in the mill , and at the forge , were buried beneath the ruing . Three of them were taken out dead . Two or three more were so seriously injured , that their lives are despaired of , and fifteen or sixteen received wounds and bruises . A boy , who was entering tbe foundry gates with his father's breakfast , was struck by one of the heavy pieces of metal which were thrown into the air , and killed on the spot . A woman who was near the place on the same ground , was knocked down , and her hand and arm severely cut . Several persons had narrow escapes from accident j but the following is the most remarkable : —The pumping engineman was sitting near his work getting bis breakfast , having his two children , who had brought it , sitting on each side of him ; the roof of the building was carried completely off , and yet not one of them was in the slightest degTee injured .

      The damage done to the premises is very extensive , and will entail a heavy loss upon the _proprietors . The works , too , will be necessarily only partially in operation for some time , which will be _extremely inconvenient , as the company have large orders fo _» iron vails , _& C ., on hand . We subjoin a list of the dead and wounded : — Names of the hilled—Phiilips , a hoy ; Cornforth , a young man ; John Sugden , a boy ; Oxley , a man .

      Latest Foreign News. France. Great Railw...

      LATEST FOREIGN NEWS . FRANCE . GREAT RAILWAY PANIC . The absorbing topic of interest at Paris on Thursday waa the alarming state of the stock and sharemarket . At the opening of the Bourse the greatest depression prevailed , the panic was evidently on the , increase , and for the first hour everything indiscriminately went down . The yattonal says : —Some respectable houses are said to be embarrassed , and others to be ruined . To the difficulties of Paris arc to be added the failures in the principal towns of France . Lyons , Marseilles , and _Strasbourg are in a

      calamitous position . Everywhere the fever of gambling has penetrated it has caused the same destruction . The France says : —It is no longer a panic ; it is a complete rout . This great prosperity in expectation , those great projects of fortune which turned every head , have vanished , but not without inflicting deep wounds . The credit is strongly affected , and there is no knowing how and when it can recover . The Peforme states that eight bankruptcies were declared at the Paris Tribunal of Commerce on Monday , their engagements amounting to 2 , 000 , 0001 ' ., ( £ 80 , 000 . ) UNITED STATES .

      Claim op the American Government — "The Whole op Oregon or None . "—Tho New York Packet ship Caledonia , arrived at Liverpool , after a voyage of nineteen days , on Friday _rooming . Boston was visited by a fire on the 5 th , bub little damage appears to have been done . A fire broke ont at Wilmington , North Carolina , on tho 4 th . The damage is estimated at _PT 5 _. 000 dollars . The New York Courier ' and Enquirer thus discourses on the Oregon question : —In respect of Oregon , there is , within the past week , more ground for believing that a specific solution will be given to this difficult question . Ait least , such we have reason to think is the impression of the foreign diplomatic corps at Washington , who naturally watch with much interest the shifting occurrences that serve to indicate what is

      passing around them . The expression . of public opinion , moreover , which has been called forth by the possibility that the conflicting claim to Oregon might lead to war , has been so decisive as probably to strengthen the influence of those in and around the Administration who have heretofore dissuaded from hostile language or preparations . Upon the whole , . therefore , we state with some confidence the belief that the present prospects are more favourable than wc have hitherto considered them for a peaceful and mutually satisfactory adjustment of the Oregon question . On the other hand , the tone of the Government journal , the Washington Union , remains unchanged . It breathes defiance and war , and claims the whole of the Oregon or _mn 3 .

      " The Whole or mE Oregon , or None . —This is the only alternative as an issue of territorial right . We wholly deny the break in the American title at latitude 49 dcg . ; we hold that our title from 42 dog . to oi deg , 40 niin . is one title , and , as we believe , a Eerfect title , againstall the world . As the question has een discHsseu for a quarter of a century between us and England , we are not aware of one argumentscarce of one phrase purporting to be an argumentwhich carries our title up to 49 cleg , and there stops . We claim as matter of right tho territory drained by the Columbia river . In the view of the law of nafions , this territory being unoccupied , has its distinctive character and unity as _' our region , in the fact that it is so drained . And as one region , we cither own it , or we do not own it .

      " Away , then , once for all , with such nonsense as the claimj of England north of 49 deg . is better than our claim ! " Let us at least know clearly , and state accurately , what we do in this matter . If it have ever been deemed expedient ( as matter of compromise , and to hush up a dispute ) to give way to England a certain portion of that land , all of which wc consider ours ; or if , from any other notice of national concernment , it may have been deemed wise tocompromiso the question of possession , let us say so , and put our past action on that ground . But let us make no attempt to cloak our policy under a pretended inferiority of our title to the land so sacrificed . No such pretence can save us . " To the Oregon our right is clear and unquestionable . Let that word

      be spoken again by the man whom millions of freemen have called to occupy tho ' great central post of the civilization of popular power , * and who doubts but that the democracy of the whole union will repeat it , with a full determination to stand by the rights of the country ? Whon that word goes forth from the constituted authorities of the nation , Our right to Oregon is clear and unquestionable , ' who doubts that it will go through the whole length and breadth of the land , and that jt will be hailed as it goes , by the democratic party , with one- unanimous amen ? And what then ? We answer this thenthe democracy of this country will stand to its word . It will __ not flinch . Nor will the honest , patriotic , unanimous , and determined Whig flinch either . "

      started themselves , and alter afew . strokes Pocock _tot a slight lead , but soon resigned it toUlasper , wno did' thesame in turn . Indeed , for the first- 200 yards die struggle was beautiful , the tiny skiffs battling with' the waves , and the spray : dashing over tliem , while each boatman exerted himself to gam a PPM " over his adversary . After the first 200 yards Clasper ' got a decided lead , beinga full boat's length a-head , when Pocock went up inside and ran into him , and both became entangled for a few seconds , and on getting clear Pocock went away with the lead , winch'he maintained about a quarter ol a mile , till , on reach * ing some posts in the . river a little above the Shofc Tower , Clasper came up inside and ran into hnny being determined to pay him offin his own coin . _Po--cock ' s boat had by this " time shipped a good deal of ' water . On getting _losse ' Clasper took the lead , and went away several _Jensths a-head , gradually

      improving his position , owing , no doubt , to Pocoek ' s boat having become heavy and unmanageable from thequantity of water it contained . Pocock , in consequence , went ashore , and emptied his bo at—anoperation which occupied some time—which afforded Clasper an opportunity , which he readily seized , of leaving his opponent _, behind r- and , when Poe & ck ' re-embarked , Clasper was mere thaw half a mile a > head . This Pocock never eould recover , so that Clasper had all the rest of the race to himself , and won easily by more than a quarter of a mile .
