      PROSPECTS OF THE SMALL FARMERS . A . parish rriest in Down draws a very gloomy picture of the condition to which the small farmers are likely to be reduced hv the failure of the pttato crop , even in the count ; of Down , which may be called the garden of Irish agriculture . The reverend gentleman also paints out the absurdity of expecting permanent , or indeed any materil benefit , to result from the undoubted sacrifices made by some proprietors w the diminution of their annual incomes . Speaking of the baronies of Neagh , he thus writes : — ., "This portion of country is not an unfavourable specimen of an asricultural population ; , thereis in it much wealth , £ reat industry , unquestionable mo ralitv , general sobriety , and strict honesty .. » ne lanffor the mo = t part « goad , \ VTvCumea well cultivated . It may , therefore , be Surly ; assumed that if the small farmer is verging upon nun herey ne

      = belter off e&where thVoughont the tanj d ™ . Yet it is an undeniable fact that tins claso struggled through last year after plying their rent bv obtaining raeal and other necessaries , upon the SfiditVhi ^ their habitual honesty had earned for them TrilH the shopkeepers ; but more frequently thev were compelled to have recourse to the unleeline ' usurer ; and . owinz to the failure of the potato crop' this second year , they are unable to meet their demands . Their cve&h , too . ig annihilated , and they are to be left without resource . It may be said that they have their cattle stock to fall back upon ; ay , but what will seed vheir land ? Would it be for the interests of the landlords , or society , to permit this most useful and industrious class to sink into the mass of pauperism , to which 4 , 000 , 000 of our people -are already reduced ?"

      The QoEEJi ' s Coixtjgk is Ulster . — The government have consented to endow four additional professors of theology , for the education of candidates for the ministry . In connexion with the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland , at a salary " of £ 250 a year each . Two professors have also been appointed for the Unitarian body ; to teach , of course , Unitarian theology : the students of the latter seldom exceed seven or eight each year . Reproductive Works . —At a late presentment sessions held in Ennis , f « --r the birony of Island , a memorial was forwarded to the Lord-Lieutenant , praying that his Excellency would issue a proclamation for holding a second sessions for the consideration of new and reproductive works for the employment of the destitute labouring poor of the district . The answer was unfavourable , his Lordship thought the £ 17 . 000 already sranted for public works in tbat barony would be found sufficient to meet the distress of the winter month ? .

      Kbhrt . —The practice of killins ; sheep by night , and taking away the carcases , is becoming very general in parts of this county—more particularly at the Kenmare side of the county . In two or three cases the police have discovered mutton well Baited , concealed in old dry ditches . —Kerry Evening Post . Alleged Military Outrage . —The Cork Examiner lias the following , in reference to a most disgusting outrage alleged to have been committed upon a female of lisht character by two officers of the 67 th Regiment : —

      " An application was made on Saturday evening last , and that in a very peremptory manner , by Colonel Beresfor . 1 , on the part of Lieutenant-General Tune-, Commander of the District , to his worship the Mayor , for a copy of the informations sworn in lh- case of ' M = iry Anne Waterman v . two gentlemen te irins Her Majesty ' s Comraissi' n in the 67 th Regiment of the line . ' His worship , after consulting some cfhis brother magistrates , granted the application , sn' by this time the informations are on their way to tie llorse Guards . " Government" Aid . —Seed Rte . —The Belfast Chronicle savs : —

      " Attherequcstof a number of respectable farmers in the lower part of the county of Antrim , Mr . George Macartney , of Lissanoure Castle , applied to the authorities at Dublin Castlo , to know whether it was their intention to supply seed rye , afceost price , to small farmers in the north of Ireland . The reply , we understand , was to the effect that Government intended to limit their supply of rye seed to the sowers In the south and —est of Ireland , thereby learns : tbe poor occuniere of the north altogether io their own resources .

      Ajissicas Steamees . —The new steamers upon the Hudson have been for some years surpassing their predecessors in luxury and speed , till now they may be literally called flying palaces , and are among the most marked features of the country . The Isaac Ktvrton , trhkli niude her first trip a lew days ago , would probably surprise the philosopher from whom she is named ( were he to return to the world ) as much as anything in posthumous progress . It would be difficult to describe her model , and the spectacle she presents on the water , with her gay colours and gilding ; but one or two items of her " construction and furnishing may give the readers of the -Starsome Idea of her . She is 340 feet long , and 40 feet wide , and of 1 , 374 horse power . Her speed will average

      22 miles an hour . The principal saloon is furnished in rosewood and crimson satin . The tassels and fringes of the hangings alone cost S 00 dollars .

There are silver vensinn tureens and silver forks , for the every-day table . The ladies' saloon is hung with French satin damask , and an inner draiiery of the finest French lace . As in other boats recently set afloat , there is ' a bridal bed-ronm , " and it is most sumptuously decorated . The carpet is of the * ' same pattern as that on the drawing-rocm of Louis-Philippe . " Over the bridal bed is an altar-piece painted on blue satin , representing a cupid holding two doves

      by their jessc * . all mi win" over an altar from which incense is ascending . The drapery is white fatm , emlroldered with s : lver , with an inner curtain of fine lace .

The meals given on board this class of boats are : is carefully served and luxurious as at the " tab ' es d'hote" of the best hotels . The Messrs . Stevens , well known as the most wealthy and enterprising of American steam boat proprietors , hare been making experiments for the last few menths on reducing the resistance to boats by the insertion of air-tubes through the buttorn . A statement , published a day or two since , declares that a speed of 24 miles an hour has been already gained , and that" fifty" miles an hour has is " safely promised . " The writer avers that steam boating is yet in its infancy .

      Fibe . —The extensive farm of Mr . Palmer , near Salisbury , was discovered on fire on Monday morning ; the wind was brisk , and the whole of the ricks and barns were consumed . The origin of the fire was accidental , and arose from one ot the carters placing an unprotected candle too close to a wooden partition that separated the stable from , a large barn containing upwards of 30 tona of straw . The wind being bri > k , a current of air attracted the flame through an aperture , and instantly ignited the whole heap .

William Everett , the captain of a steam vessel , stated that on Sunday night he and his wife were walking up Tooley-street together , when they arrived at that part of the street near the wall of the Borer railway his wife walked on a little in advance , and she had scarcely left his arm when the prisoner and two other men rushed upon him from behind . He attempted to defend himself , lmt the prisoner rushed upon him in front and struck

      him a blow in the mouth tbat knocked him down , and while he was falling a snatch was made at his watch , which was torn away from the guard chain with tbe violence of the pull , and at that moment his assailants ran away . Previously , however , to the attack , he observed the prisoner and his trvo associates pass in a contrary direction , and they must have turned round and followed him until he came near the railroad , at which spot it is darker than in any other part of the street . Policeman 71 II . stated that hearing the cry of " Stop thief , " and seeing three men running with great speed up Tooleystreet , he succeeded in securing the prisoner , who erclaimed "that they were only running for a lark , and implored him to let him go .

      GUILDHALL . —SnspicionsMASQnESADESs—Two persons who had been masquerading in female attire , were charged with stealing a pin from Frederick Newhurst , of Newcastle-street , Strand . One of them appeared at the bar in walking costume , and tbe other had tbrown away the false curls , and torn up the bonnet and dress , and appeared in a shirt , but still he had the shawl to protect him from tbe cold , and from the waist he was st ill clothed like a woman . Among the articles they had cast off in the cell were a pair of stays . The one who still wore the complete dress , and who gave the name of Emma Anderson at the station , now said his proper name was John Anderson , and Jane Wilson became Edward Sulli van , The latter was recognised as a strolling tumbler . A City policeman , stated that he saw the two prisoners standing on Holborn-hill with a gentleman about

      halfpast twelve on Sunday night . After walking a few yards up the hill , Sullivan stopped for a { couple of minutes and then overtook her companion again . They immediate ) } left the gentlemen , crossed the street , and turned up Shoe-lane . From their leaving the street he suspected they had robbel tbe gentleman . In a few minutes a con . stable came up with the gentleman and said he had been robbed of a pin , and the prisoners were orertaken in Shoe-lane . The pin was not found . One of them wore silk stockings , and had long black hair , and their true sex not heing suspected , a female was directed to search them thoroughly . The searcher very soon cried out , " officer , come in—they are both men , " and she was relieved from further trouble . The gentlemen did not appear that morning to support his charge , if r . Alderman ifupgrove asked the prisoners why they had assumed this disguise ? Anderson , who has rather a feminine voice ,

      said it was altogether a false charge preferred by the gentleman , because , knowing they were not women , they would not let him pull them about . They dressed as females by way of a joke , to prove tbat they would danto walk t-i the Angel , at Islington , in that dress . They had been as far as tbat place , and were returning , with , out speaking to any one , whep the gentleman accosted them . Mr . Alderman Musgrore said , he should be happy to be convinced the whole was a joke , but he was apprehensive that they really intended to lure men to their haunts , under the pretence of being women , for some dreadful purpose . Such gross outrages upon the public decency and feeling must be checked in time , and he shotUd ramanJ them till Friday that the police might make a full inquiry into their past lives and habits . They were conveyed to gaol in a cab , amidst the jeers of a crowd .

      TUESDAY . MAULBOROUGH-STREET . —Brctal Assaclt on an Old Woman . —David Cleary was charged with having brutally kicked Rebecca Martin , an infirm woman upwards of seventy years of age . The complainant said she was standing in Little Earl-street , Seven Dials , the previous evening , when the prisoner , who was a perfect stranger to her , ci : tne up and said , '' Well , old woman , what ' s the matter now % " She replied that he must know best ; and this answer having given offence to the prisoner , he deliberately kicked her on the lower part of her person . He was about to repeat his unmnnly assault when a soldier , who was passing , came to her assistance ,

      and protected her . Hc-r cries having attracted the attention of the police , two constables now made their appearance . The prisoner immediately attacked them , and it required the united efforts of three or four of the force before the prisoner could be overpowered and lodged in the station-house . Air . Long said the assault on the Aged complainant was most cruel and unmanly in its character , and for this he should inflict the full fine of £ 5 , or two months' imprisonment . It bad also teen prored that the prisoner had attempted to strike one constable and had actually struck another . For the latter assault he should send the prisoner to prison for one month without fine .

      THAMES-STREET . —Assault . —Daniel M'Fadden , u powerful man , was brought before Mr . Brodeiip on a charge of assaulting Mr . Arthur Browning , who keeps a coffeehouse at Katcliff-highway . The complainant whose jaws were ' tied up , aud who appeared to have sustained a very serious injury , stated tbat on the evening of the 9 th iwst ., several panes of glass in the front of his house were wantonly smashed , he went out to see the offender , and a joung m-. n was pointed out to him as the person who had done the mischief , he asked him for payment , and the man refused to make any compensation , and swore at him ; a mob collected , whe behaved in a very disorderly manner , and the man who had broken the windows retreated into a house in a narrow alley called Blue Anchor-court , Ratcliff ; he waB about to follow him and the prisoner intercepted him and stopped him , and asked him who he was ; an old woman , who was present , and who knew complainant , said " Its only the tallyman . " The prisoner looked minutely into complainant's face , and after scanning over his features drew himself up , and struck him a tremendous blow on the face with his

      clenched fist , and said , " take that for a tallyman . " His mouth was severely cut , and his under lip divided by the blow , which also loosened two or three of his teeth ; he bled profusely , and while staggering under the effects of tlie blow he received another on the jaw which nearly dislocated it ; the prisoner then ran away ; he remained upon the spot some time , and the prisoner soon afterwards returned in another dress ; he attempted to secure him , in which be was frustrated by several of his companions , and the fellow got aivuy ; he afterwards learnt his name , and that be was a coalwhipper , and obtained a warrant against him . The defendant asked Mr . Browning if he could swear he was the person who struck hits ! amd he replied in the affirmative . The com . plainant added that he had been wry ill ever since be was struck , and had great difficulty in eating anything- ;

      he was obliged to feed himself with liquids fur several diijs afterwards b y means of a spoon . The prisoner said be was not the man who struck the tallyman , and had two witnesses to prove it . Mr . Broderip said , as the case would be one of mistaken identity he shosld Bend it to the sessions . Mr . Browning said he was a collector for a linendraper and was called a tallyman ; he wished the case to be disposed of summarily ; he had a witness in attendance who would prove M'Fadden was the person who struck him : he had no time to attend the sessions . Mr . Broderip said , if the defendant bad been guilty of the assault attributed to him , it was one of too serious a character to be disposed of summarily ; moreover , the defendint stoutly denied he tvas the person who struck the blows , for these reasons he should send the case to a Jury ; the defendant w ? . s then held to bail himself in £ 20 . and two sureties of £ 10 each .

He ( prisoner ) volunteered to show him , and they proceeded on together ; they at length went into a public-house , and he paid prisoner Is . Gd . for his trouble , and they had something to drink . While in the room , prosecutor fe ll asleep , and on awaking , he found that his money-bag ,

      which contained SS sovereigns , a half-sovereign , and silver , hud been stolen from the side pocket of his coat ; the prisoner had also left the place . Prosecutor added , that when paying for the drink , he took some silver from the bag , and tbe prisoner had therefore an opportunity of noticing that there was a great deal of money in it .

She then walked forward , and just as she was about to go up the steps to knock at the door , she

      was seized round the neck from behind , and in a moment she felt that her throat was cut , and also felt the blood trickling down her bosom . She saw on turning round , that the prisoner was the person who had inflicted the wound , and he said something , but she did not remember the words , and then ran up the street towards St . George ' s Church . Many persons soon collected , some of whom went in pursuit of her assailant , while others supported her , and conveyed her to the surgery of Mr . 11 . Evans , near the spot , and he bandaged up the wound , and had her forthwith conveyed in a cab to Guy ' s Hospital , in which she had been confined as a patient until that day . The prisoner said . She left me on the ri . jht in question , to accompany another man to the house , from which I was shut out , and I was vexed . I had besa eating bread and cheese , and

The defendant was employed in May last to levy a distress on the goods and chattels of the compla ' nant , Frederick > Yillemette , a fishmonger , . and tobacconist , of No . 145 , High-street ,

      Poplar , for arrears of rent , amounting to £ 3 lls . 6 d ,, due to Mr . Dent , and ho seized property which cost the tenant £ U 18 s . two years' previous .

Johnson , the auctioner , in the Mile-endroad , the day after the levy , for the purpose , as alleged by the defendant , of impounding them , but the defendant sold a great portion of them immediately afterwards to Johnson for £ 6 17 s . 6 U . and removed » he remainder ,

      including four chairs and a quantity of chimney ornaments and crockery to some other place .

Thtt complainant never received any account relating to ( Jie disposal of the goods or the amount they produced , no applied repeatedly to the defendant on the subject , and he alwayBput him off with the excuse that his goods remained on the premises of Mr . Johnson , who bad not been selling by auction since they were seized , and that directly he had a sale , | the goods would be submitted to publiu competition .

      After some further investigation , Mr . Ballantyne said the goo ds bad not been legally disposed of , aud there was much bad conduct and irregularity la the management of the distress . A portion of the furniture and effects of the eomplainant had been sold for £ 5 17 s . Gd ., and he was informed the value of them was from £ 9 to £ 10 . He would take the smaller sum , £ 9 , and lie ordered the difference between that sum and £ 3 lls . Gd . to be paid to the complainant , and the goods not disposed of to be returned to him , —The defendant : I have not got them . —Mr . Ballantine : I do nut care about tbat . I shall make my order , and you shall take the consequence of not complying with it . —The decision was received with a murmur of applause from a crowded Court .

      — " ^ w»—Fall of Three Houses m Oi < o Brompion , asd Loss of Life . —On Thursday evening between the flours of five and mx o ' clock , the utmost excitement was created in the neighbourhood of Peiham-square , Old Brompton , in consequence of the sudden falling of three newly erected unfinished houses , situated on the south side of a recently formed thoroughfare , known as Alfred place , Pelhiim-sq . uare . It appears that about a quarter of an hour previous to the occurrence upwards of twenty men were employed on the premises , but in consequence of tlie approaching darkness not permitting them to continue their work titey , with the exception of three , left the buildings . James llashey , William Monney , and Patrick Sullivan , were the names of the three individuals left at work . They were engaged at the top of the premises preparing some scaffolding , when they were called upon by a fellow-labourer , named Mullinford , to

      come down , for the house was falling . The men , however , unfortunately , disregarded this warning , and merely replied that they were not so easily made fools of . Sullivan was then about to descend a ladder , but before he had reached the bottom the house fell in with a loud crash , immediately followed by the falling of the adjoining house on the left side , and also the partial falling of that on the right . Tlie workman who was descending the laddtler was pitched heavily forward , by which he sustained numerous verjr serious wounds likely to result fatally . His companion Monney , by some means , escaped almost unhurt , but llashey was buried in the ruins , and irom t he nature of the fall was doubtless instantly killed , and it being quite dark by this time , the street being but indifferently lighted with gas , no efforts could be made to recover the body of the deceased .

      MetropolitanImprovkments . —TheCommissioners of Woods and Forests have given notice that application will be made in the next session of Parliament for powers to make new streets in various parts of the metropolis , and also for the construction of a new bridge over the Thames , in lieu of the present Westminster bridge . Comniencing with the westward part of the metropolis , it is the intention of the Commissioners to construct a new street from the southeast end of . Cliaring-eross . ' to tho north bank of the Thames , near the end of Whitehall-place . From this point the new bridge is to be erected , and a new street , formed to the York-road , near Suttou-street , and continued to the Westminster bridge road , into which place it will come out nearly opposite

      Masonstreet . The next improvement is the construction of a new street from the west end of Long-acre to King , street , Govent-garden , coming out into that street opposite Bedford-street ; it will cross Rose and Hart .-treet , and destroy a great many small courts and alleys . The next improvement is forming a street from Westminster Abbey to James-street , Buckingham-gate , by the destruction ot those dreadful dens of intaray lying between Tothill and Orchard-streets . Going to the east end of London , the most important is the formation of a carriage way from Great Tower Hill to Little Tower Hill , by the removal of Postern row ; at the present time a person wishing to get from the former to the docks having to make a circuit of somewhat like a mile and a half : The next improvement in that part of the town has reference to the approaches to Victoria Park . On the south side of the Park a new street is to be formed from

      the East India Docks , at Poplar , to Bow Common , and from thence passing by the East London Cemetry , across the Mile End-road , and form a junction with Grove-road , which is to be widened to the south entrance of the Park . From the western entrance a new street will be formed across Bishop Bbnner ' s Fields and Old Ford-road to the Bethnsl Green and Cambridge Heath Roads , near the new church at Bethnal Green . Another road is to be formed from the Hackney-road , near the junction with the Cambridge Ileath-road , to the Bishop ' s-road , and , crossing the Regent ' s Canal , communicate with a road across the west corner of tho Park to Grove-streetlane , Hackney . [ All this is very well in its way , but what is to become of the inhabitants of thecoarts and alleys it is intended to deprive of dwellings ? Have the Commissioners made any provision iov ; hem ? |
