O ' uonnell ' s charge of " lying" preferred against the limes , bittingly asks : — When he was refuting' lie */ why dia he not apply himself to anM } Rt 3 uaaaousstBtenientinaae , and again made in theJ&&-surely a most horrible' lie *—namely , that le , the treasurer of the Kepeal Association' after being intrusted with fo many hundreds of thousands of pounds Sterling bj the pauper population of Ireland , ¦ wherewith to buy them ' Ireland for the Irish ' —af ter promisingthem Eepeal in six msnths , any time the last fouryears , only let the shilling a-year and the penny a-montn continue , that he , the leador . whose counsel no man was ever permitted to thwart—he , the treasurer , whole accounts no man ever saw—has Drought in the Irish

      peopl « debtors to him at last in the ram of £ 700—has anjsounced in the comnrittte that they cannot pay a sum cf money they unanimously Toted to the Davis testimonial * several months ago , because there are not only I 0 funds but they owe him money , and they must be « ju = t before they are generous ?' - So has the Mail re-Ported , and reiterated with confident pertinacity . Now , tera is a ' lie' we should like to hear refuted—a most Pestilent and malignant lie . For surely the thing is impossible . It cannot be that he has been taking the starr-5 »» peasants' mite , and the priceless trait of youth , and fha passionate prayns , and tears , and Wesiings of SiOOO . 000 hearts for fio many years , and means to wind up the transaction with a balance against us all at last , let him deal with this ' lie' n « t week , and see what he can make of it .

      This is excellent , and its raciness is further enhanced by the pleasing faet of the Hation having a thorough " knowledge of the literal accuracy of the disgraceful revelations brought to light in the columns of the 3 iai ( . So strictly correct were the secret proceedings of the finance coramitee reported in the Conservative organ , that a member present on the interesting occasion is of opinion that Mr . O'Connell must for nnce have acted as his own reporter , and written out his speech , to prevent any -mistake . .. ..

      Rotsai . Association . — The proceedings at the ¦ w eekly meeting of this association were of the usual description , and the ordinary actors appeared in iheir old and well known characters . The abuse of Yonng Ireland and the bugabeo of " physical force " constituted the standing theme of all the orators , and O'Connell read a long report on the points at isssse between " Old" and " Youns Ireland . " The novelty , truthfulness , and originality of the document may be judged of by the concluding sentence : —Never cease our efforts till we re-establish the nationality of Ireland , and make her what she ought to be , " great , glorious , and free First flower of the earth , and first gem of the sea .

      Mr . Morgan Johs O'Coxsell . —The Evening Tost ceatra'licts the reported appointment of this gentleman to the office of Peor Law Commissioner in the room of Mr . Twisleton , and asserts that such an arrangement was never contemplated . The report 5 s now of several months' standing , and was first given currency to by tlie Feat £ if se ~ f . Why did not the contttidictVtn come before this i Rorjx Ageicoltcral Society . — The Duke of Leinster and the Marquis of Downshire have se . ceded from this society t . n the ground of its tendency to become political .

      Mr . W . S . O'Brien , the member for Limerick , as leader of the " Phalanx , " has commenced a series of papers in the Nation , which possess the virtue of I ) 2 in ? both practical and well-intentioned . 'T errific Stohm . —A storm f-f unusual violence occmrcd on Friday last , which appears to have been -very general , and to have committed great haroe both on land and sea Fall of Prices—T he accounts from the market sliow a general steady decline of prices . Dcbms , Nov . 24 . —Th ' - account ? from the provinces this morning are extremely disheartening—outrage a :: d destitution are both on the increase , and it is very much to be feared that in many cases the ¦ pressure , or perhaps the assumption of the one is

      bat an excuse for the commission of the other . The Cork Ex-xmmcr of the 23 rd . contains an account of a Try alarming outrage on the property of the Great Southern and Western Railway , and others of the provincial journals , give long Ihts of attacks on food waggons , robberies of bread carts , attacks on dwellings in search of provisions , and shooting of horses employed in the conveyance of corn . With respect to the former the Examiner says , intelligence reached town , at an earl ? hour this mcrninp , that an attack had been made cm the works of this line in progress at Kathpeacon . about a mile and a half beyond Blackpool . It will be remembered that a numerous body of labourers applied to Mr . Beamish tor employment on Wednesday last , and that that

      gentleman informed them arrangements would be made as speedily as possible for tlieir advantage . It now appears that the majority of those men , increased by a force number of labourers from Carrignavar , Whiteeburcb , Blarney , and 'the adjoining countryin all amounting to nearly one thousand—assembled this morning , and immediately proceeded to Rathpeacon , where the works of this line commence . They attacked the men employed there to the number of sixty or seventy , and compelled them to desist from work i they then destroyed the wheel-barrows , pickaxes , and other implements required in this description -of work , tt is said that the overseers were also maltreated , but the accuracy of this rumour is not to b& relied unon .

      Mr . Percy , County Inspector , and Messrs . Walker and Green , sub-inspectors , left town at one o ' clock , to-daj' , with a force of five mounted and twenty infantry constabulary . The object of dispatching this < e . ac ! iment is to frmirc the- sntety of the dispersed Jai ourers , who will be re-empioyed , and to intimidate these misguided men from committing further violence .

      A correspondent of same joHrnal , writing from Clonakilty , under the date of November 2 lst , givce the following account of the state of affairs in that locality : — " More troips to-quiet the unpaid and famishing labourers of this locality . This day we were favoured with a reinforcement of twenty men of the Dragoon Guards , the present party of tlie military and police being considered insufficient fcy the pay clerks to preserve them uninjured in their official capacity . As a proof of their apprehensions , oce of that esta * blishment was escorted on Tuesday last from this

      town to Timoleagne , by a party of soldiers . I arrived there in time fo learn their hopes were frustrated . In a fit of frantic destitution , the maddened multitude attempted , as I have been told , to cut the harness of the payelerk ' s vehicle . This town looks in a state of siege—the skeletons of men and women are creeping from shop to shop , imploring , in accents half subdued by weakness , the smallest morsel of food . When they ask bread , they receive a tropp of dragoons . These are melancholy and unvarnished truths which I am utterly incompetent fo pourtray . "

      MONDAY . LAMBETH . —Assaoit on a Szbvajct . —Mary Egar , a ti-iy looking Irish girl , attended to substantiate a charge against her late miitress , Mrs . Blong , a lady residing at No 3 , Bruuswick-place , Clspham-road , for having spat in her face and refused to give her a character . When the case was called on the husband of the defendant stood forward , and said that Mm . Blong , who was naturally of an irritable disposition , was in such a state of nervous excitement since rfie hail received the summons as to be quite incapable of attending before his worship to answer the charge He ( Mr . Ulong ) was , however , willing to abide by whatever judgment the magistrate might come to iu the matter . The complainant then proceeded at some length to detail the treatment which sho had received . Mrs . Bioug scarcely ever ceased to abuse lier .

      particularly for the last week or ten days that she had bet-n in her service . She used frequently to call her an " Irish wretch , " an " Irish reptile , " and a " Catholic deril . She had also , after being at a Catholic chapel , placed a shawl over her < houlders , and moved about the kitchen in mimicry and derision of theprieits while celebrating mass , aud further , had , ou one occasion , spat in her face . After she had left her service , Mrs . Blong had given such a character of her to a lady who was about to engage her , that the latter declined to have an ; thing to do with Iicr , and the cousequence was , that she was compelled to part nith her cluthes to obtain the necessaries of life . Mr . Blon ' declared that if Mrs . Blong had been present , the would take her oath that the whole of the

      complainant ' s statement was untrue , lie nras sure his wife gave the complainaut such a character as she de . served . Mr . Elliott observed that it was exceeding cruel to withhold charactcrsfrom servants , particularly young women , who had nothing el « e to depend upon for their living and future prospects in life , and recommended Mr . Bloug to settle the matter with the complainaut , by . giv . ing her something for her loss of time and the expenses of the summons , and also such a character as she deserved , while in his service . On leavinp jhe court , Mr . Blong made his peac : with the complain ant , by giving her three half-crowns , and promised to give her such a character as she deserved , to an ; person who should coma after it , and thus the matter has terminated .

      W 0 HSHIP-STBEET _ As 8 Am . T on the Police . — John Clifford was charged with having assaulted and wounded police constable Norman , in the execution of his duty . It appeared from the evidence of the constable , who had been confined to his . bed for more than a H-eek , and exhibited ike marks of severe rcceut injuries , that he was on duty iu Commercial-street , Whhechapel , between twelve and one o ' clock on the morning of Holiday se ' nnight , when he wa 6 directed by liis Serjeant to proceed and quell a disturbance which bad arisen in Flower and Dean-street , on reachinc : which he found the

      prisoner in the custody of some other officers , through the hand of one of whem he was informed by a byitandtr , that he had just drawn a knife . Finding that his assistance was not required , he returned back to his beat , and shortly afterwards saw the prisimor , who ap . peared to have escaped from tbe otber constables , approaching , surrounded by a riotous mob , and he attempted te secure him . The prisoner , however , on discerning his intention , instantly struck him a violent blow on the eye with a large stone , which sent him reeling backwards , and rendered him powerless ; and before he could recover himself , he was struck forward again bv another

      violent blow from some instrument on tbe back of the head that felled him to the ground in a state of iusensibility . On being restored to consciousness , he found that he had almost lost the sight of his left eve , and that his clothes and person were saturated with blood , but he contrived to support himself against some railings while he sprung his rattle for assistance , and was afterwards placed in bed at the station-house , where lie had remained under medical care ever since . Mr . Heritage , who appeared for the defence , said that notwithstanding the manner in which his client had been sworn to by the police , he was instructed to give a total denial to the charge , and bad seven or eight witnesses in attendance who would prove that the constables were altogether

      mistaken in their identification of the prhoner , who , although present as a casual spectator at the commencement of the affray , had taken no part whatever in the series of outrages which appeared to have been afterwards committed . Mr . Bingham said that after the number of witnesses who had unanimously eworn to the identity of the prisoner , he considered it to be the province of a Jury to decide upon the cogency of any op . posing testimony tbat might be produced in that respect ; and as thecharge was ene of a very 6 ciioua description , he had no hesitation in committing him for trial , but would accept substantial bail , under the circumstances stated by his solicitor , for his appearance . The bail was shortly afterwards produced , and the prisoner liberated .

      Abduction . —James Grant , late a police constable belonging to the P division , was charged with abduction . Mr . Games , who attended for the prosecution , said that in the month ^ ot January last , the prisoner , then s policeman , was in custody upon the present charge , but had managed to effect his escape . An application was subsequently made to Mr . Henry at this court , and a warrant was granted for his apprehension , but the prisoner managed to elude the vigilance of the police until the night before when he was taken into cusody . The clerk then read over t ' -. e examinations of Elizabeth Aim Grant ( the wife of theprisoner , ) and Snrah Everest , her mother , and which were as follows : —The former stated on the 31 st day of October last , I left home to go to tea at Mrs . Murrell ' s , in LockVfields , and as I was in the shop about half . past three o ' clock iu the afternoon , James Grant

      passed . He saw me , and beckoned to me . lie had been paying his addresses to me , but against the consent and wishes of my mother , for about six months , and I came to him when he beckoned me . He then asked me to go to some house with him , and wanted me to get married to him . 1 said I was too young . I was then fifteen years and seven montns old only . He persuaded me to go on board a steam-boat with . him from Westminster-brirtge to Yauxhail . There he gave me something to drink , and I became tipsy . He took me te a brothel in Gaywood-street , and there by threats and persuasions I consented to his wishf s . I had been there before with him . He kept me there and at other lodgings for nearly two months , and at the end of that time I was married te him at the church of the parish of

      Christchurch , in the county of Surrey . During the two months , and frequoutlj since I have been married , I have asked him to let me go home to my mother , but he has always threatened he would beat my brains out if I did . On Sunday night last , the 18 h hist ., he was writing , and I said to him , " I may as well write home to nrj mother , may I \ " " No ; if you do I'll stick these razjrs through your ——— , " and took two razors out of a drawer and opened them , struck me , and knocked my head against the wqll , because I saiil I would write . Yesterday I sent for my mother , and she fetcbedme away . During the time I have been with Grant he has frequently beaten me . He has done so nearly every day . Yesterday he told me he would murder me if I said anything about him before the Magistrate . The prisoner was ultimately remanded .

      ^ TUESDAY . MARLBOKOUGH-STHEET . —DiBiKo Outrage . — Dennis ConHor , Michael Hannan , and Marr Slater , were charged with having committed the following gross outrage in the Victoria public house on Monday night . Mr . Williams , jun ., Raid , be appeared for his father , who kept the Victoria public-house , Castlc-6 treer .. About twelve o ' clock the previous night a party of the loner order of Irish , amongst whom were the prisoners , came into the bouse and asked to be served with a pint of rum . Witness's father at first conceived they were a patty from the theatre who w .-. nted refreshment , but ou looking closer at their persons he though it would be advisable to refuse to serve them , and he told them so . The party declared they would not leave the house until the ; had been served with the liquor , and as they began to assume a menacing nttitude , witness ' s fattier conceived tho safest way would be to supply them with the liquor , and accordingly the pint of rum was drawn , and ha&iied to ona of tbe party . The prisoner Connor

      instantly seized the measure , drank nearly half the eontrnts , and then handed it to the woman , who also drank heartily . Theliquor having been all consumed , application was made for payments The prisoners refused to pay until they were served with a second pint . This was of course not complied with , and then the prisoners began to be insulting and ouiragcous . Connor struck witness several severe blows on the body . The woman , Slater , seized a pewter measure , and threw it at witness ' s mother . Two large jugs followed in the same direction , and then the lamp glasses were smashed . The woman , by this time , furious as a wild beast , seized the barmaid , end actually tore handfull * of hair from her head , leaving her nearly bald . Tbe barmaid was culled , to prove the truth of the above statement . She took off her bonnet and showed her head . One side presented a flourishing crop of bsir , tbe otiier side was nearly denuded of its natural covering . S&e had been assailed by the Irishwoman without pro-vocation , and had been tuu 6 barbarously treated .

On recovering his feet , he drew out his truncheon to dc-feud himself . Oo being called upon for his defence , the

      defendant emphatically denied the charge , and stated that lie had numerous witnesses in attendance who wonl < 2 prove that , having detected the policeman in an act of gro ° > impropriety , and threatened to report him , he had forestalled their intention by taking him into ' custody , in the hope of escaping the consequences of his own misconduct Tbe defendant then called his sisttr-in-lan-, Mrs . Isabella Blundell , the wife of a plumber , in Chester-place , Bethnal green , who stated that , after spending the evening with a family party , she was returning home with several of her relatives , and was about to bid them good night within a few doors of their own residence , when they heard the sound ol wires down a dark entry , adjoining it .

Her brattier-in-law then intiraat . d to the con ' stable that heehould wait until the sergeant came up , in order to point the woman out to him , when the latter instantly darted out of the entry and disappeared . They then told him that they should take hia number and report him to his superiors for his insolence , when the officer pulled out ltiB truncheon , and aftur flourishing it about like a madman , maie a rush at her sister-in-law , who had just come out with an infant in her arms , to learn the cause of the uproar , and knocked her and the child down with such violence , that after trampling upon them , he overbalanced himself and fell forward upon his hands . On recovering his feet , the constable ,

      who appeared to be greatly excited , commenced springing his rattle , and on the arrival of another officer , charged the defendant with assaulting him , and he was immediately carried off to the station-house . Both the infant and Us mother had sustained severe injury from the violence to which they . had been subjected , and the latter was unable t » attend and give evidence , having been since confined to her bed . On being asked by tlie magistrate if he wished to offer any remarks iu reference to the inculpatory statements he had juBt heard , the constable declared that he had not been in the company of any woman at the time spoken of , Pud that the whole Of the testimony against him was utterly false . In reply to tbe magistrate , it was stated that tlie officer was a married man , and had always been considered a steady one , but that he had only been about nine or ten months ia tbe force ; and Mr .

      THAMES—Ferocious Odtbagb . —RolenMaylore , a seaman , Elizabeth Matthews , and Emily Green , were brought before Mr . Broderip on a charge of assaulting and robbing Henry Thompson , a sailor , belonging to the brig Caroline , in the Grand Surrey Canal . Tho prosecu . tor appeared tohav * been terribly mauled . andit appeared from his statement that he met with the prisoner Green on Monday night , and after treating her 6 he invited him to her lodgings , Rame ' s-place , Shadwell , where lie met the other woman prisoner and Maylove . He treated them with all manner of things . When all his money was xprodod the party became dissatisfied , atid they made

      a brutal attack upon him . He was knocked down and jumped upon by Maylove and Green . He got up again and fought de » perately . and succeeded in forcing open the door of the room , which the prisoners had locked upon him . Another conflict took place upon the stairs , and , according to the statement of a girl named Harvey , who was lj ing upon a bed in the room where the first attack was made , and who took no part in the affray , the prisoners beat the sailor in a most enrage manner . Other evidence having bren given , Mr . Broderip finedthepriioners £ 5 each , and in . default of payment committed them to the House of Correction for two months .

      WEDNESDAY . MAUS 1 ON-HOTJSE . — Libeett of thb Subject . — A young Irishman , named Richard Osborne , was charged with having carried a piece of timber through the streets in such a manner hb to endangtr the eyes of passcngers . A policeman stated that , having observed the defendant on the pathway poke the piice of timber up against several persons as they passed , and abuse those who complained , he spoke to tbe man , and requested that a little regard might be paid to the people . To that expostulation the defendant paid no attention , but continued bis course as if be alone bad a right to walk along the street . Finding that the defendant was determined to carry his load in his own peculiar . way . hewalktd him off to the station-house . The defendant said that he was going on quietly enough , and minding nobedy , when the policeman called him an Irish blackguard ; and as he was no blackguard , although he was Irish , he did

      not like the name , and he therefore replied iu a way that complainant did not fancy , and that tbat was tlie real cause of the dispute between them which led to tbe station-house . The policeman declared tbat he had not used the offensive expression attributed ' to him , as nothing could be more unjust than the application of it to a stranger of whom he knew nothing . The fact was that many persons were endangered , while some were actually hurt , by the rough carelessness of the defendant . — The Defendant : Why , my lord , should not I go along the streets free ? Why is a man , because he carries a bit of wood , to be treated like a slave ? I consider that I am at liberty to walk through the streets in this country as well as in my own . — -The Lord Mayor : No doubt you are ; but you must manage to walk in such a manner as not to injure or impede others . Tour notions of liberty are rather selfish , for jou seem to require every tort ol aocomodation and indulgence yourself without giving and in return . That will not do here . It is indeed a

      very common thing to meet with such annoyances and I am not sorry to have the opportunity of telling persons who are in the habitof carrying loads , that in such a case as yours a magistrate has the power of infliciing a heavy penalty , which I have no doubt it would be difficult for you to discharge . As I believe that you erred through ignorance I shall not fine yon , but I shall expect that the occurrence will operate sorviceably upon your future conduct . —The defendant , who evidtn'lyvwils under the imprcsston tbat it was the duty of all be met to get out of his way without requiring the slightest attempt at accomodation Tom bim , Eaid that he should certainly remember bis lordship ' s advice and act Accordingly-, but lie certainly thought that he ' had a right to do as he . pleased iu a free country ( laughter . ) The Lord Mayor : You certainly are at liberty to do what you please , 60 that what you please happen not to displeaie others ( laughter ) [ From our Second Edition of Last Week . )

      THAMES STREET . — Assault . — William Kiffln , residing in Brick Lane , Spitalfields , a weH-known associate of thieves , was brought up by police-constable Kelly , 110 n , charged under the following circunv stances : —Kelly saw' the prisoner with ' a crowd of prog , titmtes and had characters near Church Larxe , in the Commercial Road . Knowing what they were , hecautioned them to move on , upon which the prisoner struck him a heavy blow . On attempting to arrest bim the prisoner ' s hat came off , and two handkerchiefs fell out of it . The prisonerthen snatched a parcel of silkhandkerchiefs ' out of his pocket , and threw them amongst the crowd of vagabonds , when . they were quickly made away with . A desperate struggle then ensued , during which the

      prisoner kicked at the constable and attempted to bite him . Another constable came up , but the crowd pressing in on them . ) whilst the prisoner threw himself on his back , and kicked out furiously , they would hare been booh overpowered , and most probably murdered , had not some gentlemen come to their assistance .

      LAMBETH , —Reuoiods Deathbeds , —The Rev , Tennison Cuffe , the Minister of Carlisle Chapel , in Kennington-lane , applied for a warrant against Captain Wills , for having made use of threatening and offensive language to him . ;; . From the statement of the Rev . Gentleman it appeared that lie had been sent for to attend Mrs , Wills , an aged lady , who had been a member of his congregation , who was in a dying state . On going to the house he found . Mrs . Wills very ill , and while read , ing some passages of scripture to her , four young ladies , her daughters , behaved themselves in what he considered to be a very improper manner , so that he had to remonstrate nith them on the impropriety of the conduct while their parent- was in a dying state . He soon discovered that their conduct arose from their being Roman Catholics , and from their haTing an aversion to him as a Protestant clergyman attending their parent . On the following day ( Thursday ) he again called to 6 ce the dying lady , on seeing the niece of Mrs . Wills , who was a Protestant , he was told

      tiiere was no use in his going up stairs again to the dying lady , as a Catholic priest had been called in since hehad been there the day before ; he , however was anxious to sec the lady , and was about to proceed up stairs , when Captain Willis made his nppcarance with a stick in his hand , abused him , and asked him who had sent for him , and told him that if he attempted to go up stairs he should fling bim down-Mr . Elliott : Did the captain strike or assault you at all ? —Rev . Mr . Cuffe : Not at all , Sir , but he made use of very violent language and threats . —Mr . Elliott : Were the threats made use of in the house , or were any of them made outside the door !—Rev . Mr . Cuffe : They were made in the house . —Mr . Elliott : Had the threats been made use of in the streets , or out of doors , I could grant you a summons ; but having been used in the house , the law does not allow me to interfere in the matter . [ Were it not that custom has dulled our perceptions , such an abominable system of domestic intrusion as that which exists under the name of " religious consolation" would not be tolerated for a day . ]

      DESTITUTION IN THE HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND . At the quarterly meeting of the Commission of Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland , on Wednesday last , in Edinburgh , an interesting discussion took place on the destitution at present existing in the Highlands , and on the threatened actual famine which it was to be feared would shortly overtake the population in these districts , more particularly in the western islands . Mr . Sheriff Spiers said the returns received were chiefly confined to the Western Islands , with the exception of the island of Lewis , where it appears thnt its wealthy proprietor hat made auch provision as to relieve the public from any apprehensions as to scarcity of food there , —but even deducting the large population of that island , there are still 100 , 000 persons for the most part at this moment suffering from the pressure of want , and irith . ( lie pro . -pect of famine before their eyeB .

      Mr . M'Lean , of Glenarchy , stated , that the failure of the potatoe crop throughout the whole of- the Long Island has been universal . 1 could name a parish in which this article of human food was cultivated to the extent of probably 150 , 000 barrels , and in which 3 , 000 could not be found at this moment , —a parish containing * population of 8 , 000 , into which not a single peck « f meal has as yet been imported . The population , of the Long Island may be divided into four classes , viz ., the tacksmen , who bold large possessions ; the small tenants or crofters , who pay a rent of eight to twelve pounds ; the cot * tars , whose burden is chiefly borne by the small tenants ; and lastly , the paupers , who are entitled to parochial relief . The second class now named may probaoly subsist themselves , and live through to

      tlie month of March , but certainly not beyond that period , unloss they receive foreign aid . On the last of these two classes mentioned the hand of want is pressing ^ severely—families and districts mi ^ ht bo pointed out where the sea-shore is their chief , almost their only resource—and their having lived through > o long is a wonder and a mystery to their neighbours who are more favourably circumstanced . But for the aid extended by the class immediately above thorn , they could not have lived so long , their own resources being completely exhausted . Only two weeks ago in one of the harbours of tlie Long Island , I was called upon to administer the ordinance of baptism in tho immediate neighbourhood to two infants , immediately thereafter the melancholy fact transpired , ^ that in one of the families ; consisting of eight individuals , there was not one morsel of food wlierewith to satisfy the hunger of the inmates . The father of one of these families , as a i ' riend and

      myself were in the act of stepping on board the yacht , beseeched me to request the muster to give him a handful of meal to make supper for his starving family . On the morrow , the two families were in the same sad predicament . They had neither money nor credit-, nor any kind of property wherewith-to provide food for their children ; and even if they bad , they would have experienced the utmost difficulty in procuring any , there not being a grain of meal for sale in the country . I can never forget the joy , depicted in the faces of the fathers oi these two families on their receiving an order on one of the millers of the country , accompanied with' an earnest request that ho would give them the small quantity applied for , should it be iu pecks or stones . Instances of this melancholy description might be easily multiplied . ; they abound amongst the class spoken of , and among the pauper class also in every direction .

      Dr . Aldcorn , of Oban , gave similar evidence as to cases he had seen uith his own eyes , of aged and helpless persons , and of large families , of parents and young children , and these most respectable in character , who had had no food for days together , except small quantities of fish , if the weather permitted them to go in search of them , or shell-fish , or , in a few instances , a handful or two of bariey-iuoal borrowed from neighbours not much better supplied than themselves—uf nursing mothers who had failed to be able to give nourishment to their infants from the want of it themselves ; wo saw in one case a poor sickly baby labouring to drain its natural food . from the breast of . a mother who had got none

      herself for almost twenty-four hours before , and for many days not a half or a third of what'could be necessary in such circumstances ; another case of a mother in an equally destitute condition , striving to support twins of five months old at breasts whtro lhere was not a supply for one child . To save themselves and [ families for a time many of these poor people , indeed almost all of them , had killed a few sheep , to the number « f two , three , or four , which they were allowed , by the kindness of the small tenants , to graze on the common pasture , and which is their whole stock ; and , in some instances , they had killed their only milk cow . But very few c- " this class have cows at all .

      A general collection in all the churches on Sunday , GthofDecerabor , was resolved upon , and also that a deputation proceed to London to represent the present state of the Highlands to the Government .

      MURDEROUS OUTRAGE AND ATTEMPTED ROBBEKY NEAR PRESTON . Preston , Wednesday , Not . 18 . Last night , one . of the most daring outrages which ever occurred in this neighbourhood , took place at Broughton , about three miles from this town , at tlie residence of W . Miller , Eeq , - surveyor and laud steward . Mr . Millers house is at some distance front any other residence . About six o'clock in the evening , Mr . Miller and his daughter being in the house ,

      and no other person there but a female servants smart knock was given at- the front door , on which Mr . Miller observed , " It is some gentlemen from Preston , who wishes to pee me on business . " The door was opened bj . Miss Miller , when six men , armed with pistols , made a rush into the house , two of them subsequently retreating back , and remaining in front , of the house . Miss Miller , terrified by the villians , cried out" Thieve * , thieves , " making at tlie same time a rush towa g . s the lann in front of the house , when one of the men outside

      shouted out " Grab her . " At the same moment a pistol was fired at her , which was immediately fallowed by the firing of another . Miss Miller than ran to the house of a neighbour screaming out , "Murder . " In the meantime' the villains had gained full access to the house , and one of them , presenting a pistol at Mr . Miller , said , "We n » tA your money . " Mr . Miller told them h « had none j upon which the men said , ' We know you have . Mr . Miller again denied having any , and called to the servant , whom the robbers had forced into an adjoiuiDg room , to ring the bell . The bill alluded to is as an alarm bell ,- situated at the tup of tne tbe

      house , from which there is a comnniciation with room into which , fortunately , the robbers had frrceo the attendant . At her master's call , the servant commenced ringing the bell , on which ths men looked one at another in amassment , and lueu r ?" away . From the cool determination evinced 1 )} ' tllB whole gnng , there can be little doubt that thei lives of the whole family would have betn sacrificed , ASM it not been for the escape of Miss Wilier an " tu ringing ef the alarm bell . It is said that -Bir . Miller had a few days previously , bten receiving certain rents , and the presumption id that the at-Unguents were aware of that fact .
