      CEKB 8 RLAHD . Mukder sub Caeliele . —A few mondng 3 since as two men , named Hodgson , were walking near Greyfield Cottage , they observed a womaa ' s boanet and shawl , and 3 quantit y of hnman hair , lyin- on the hedge at one side of the road , and a sheep's fiver near them . Oa the breast oi the hedge there were marks of feet and other indications of struggling . On looking around they saw , in a field on the opposite side of the road , the body of a woman lying apparently dead , with her bonnet and eap « ff —the latter saturated with bleod . The gate of the field had been taken off its hinges , and was resting against the gate-posts . Two officers were speedily on the spot , and one of them returned aeain tothe

      town tor a surgeon . , On his way up Botchergate hefoundamaD , bauog , the appearance of a travelling tinKer , drunk , and creating a great disturbance , and tookhim in custody . This man subsequently turned ant to be Peter Hanlin ( or Handley ) , the husband of the murdered woman . The police-officer returned to Greystone with a surgeon , and the woman was removed to & lodging-house in Botchergate , where sac died ia abont ten minutes , without having exhibited any signs of consciousness . Inquiries were set on foot , and the following particulars obtained . The deceased and her husband ( Peter Hanliu , whom the policeman had so singularly taken into custodv ) ¦ were travelling tinkers , and . with their two ehO-« W and ia company with Charles M'Minnis . his

      wife , and four children , had arrived in the neighbourhood oh Friday , from Westmoreland , and pitched their tent in ! a by-lane near Durdar On Sturday morning Hanlin and his wife , and M'Minnis aud his wife , came to Carlisle , leaving their children in the camp . They were all seen seteral time 3 in the course of the day wandering about the streets in a state of intoxication—the deceased carrying small articles of hardware for sale and , in particular , being very drunk . About four o ' clock they left the town , and called at a publiohouseiu Water-street , where they had more drink After proceeding abont a mile the two husband 3 Enpear to have quarrelled . They were seen by two young men , wio were passins , lying on the ground striking ateach other . M'Minnis had a whip in his hand , and was seen to strike Hanlin a blow on the head with the butt end of it . They then rose , snook hands , and declared themselves good friends Hanlia ble

      — ' eding from the wound in his head M'ilinnis and his wife went forward , leaving thedeceased sitting against the hedge , too drunk to prooeed any fur ther , and her husband standing near ber , also mnch intoxicated . Hanlia waa afterwards « ea striking hfe wife , and heard threatening to taw her life , by persons passing on the road ; The tarties appear to be all of the lowest class of traveling tinkers . M'Minnis and his wife were both taken mto custody , but liberated . On the person of M'Minnis was feand £ 16 and a few shillings . A very severe wound was observable on the forehead of Hanhn , which he says was given to him by fonr men , who attacked him and his wife , but which there is but little doubt is the effect of the blow given with the whip of M'Minnis . He is at present ray unwell from the effect of this blow , and not enirely eut of dasger . An inquest has been held befire the oonmer and adjourned .

      IASCA 8 HIBB . A Uisveb AnMpr to SwisDLE was brought before the magistrates at Manchester , of which the hero V ^ JPf- ^ Bpf ^ Fi *« fe «* ce . Captain of theFirat Royals . ' The following are the tactics which seem to have been adopted . A respectably tesed , genteel-looting young man , walked info the Albion Hotel , Manchester , oa Saturday moming , « ad ordered rooms , announcing himself as described ibove . Abont half an hour or an hour subsequently , he made hu appearance at the Hnlsas barracW asked for one of the officers , and gettine himself introduced to Lieutenant Dallas of the Uth Hussaw , f o whom he represented himself as lieutenant of the First Royals , stated that his servant had deserted at

      Portsmouth , that he had reason to believe the mu was in Manchester , and requested assistance . The result was , a promise that ; in a short time Sergeant Matthews , of the 11 th Hossara , should wait up on him at the Albion Hotel . In due time Sergeant Matthews madehis appearance , and was accepted as his orderly . The Hon . Mr . Fitzclarence then proceeded to visit different tradesmen ' s shops to snpply certain deficlesces ofiis wardrobe and equipments . One of the first shops that he tried was that of Mr Hambletrn , saddler , whom he told that he had only just been appointed to the Hussars , and had received a cheque from his uncle , tbe Ri-ht Hon . Lo : d Auckland , for £ 1 , 000 , which he had not yet cashed . Mr Hambleton accordingly allowed the lieutenant to walk off with a

      pair of spurs and a gold-mounted riding-whip . The next victim singled out was Mr Syddal , of Marketatreet , a sort of gentleman ' s haberdasher . Here he told the sama story , and selected other articles to the value of between £ 70 and £ 80 , directing that they shonldbe forwarded to him thafcnMit to the addr ess of his uncle , the Right Hon . Lord Auckland , 41 , Whitehall-garden , London . Mr Syddall inquired how they were to be packed , and thiB called for a further trespass on the credit of Mr Ilambleton , who happening to sell very superior air trunks , had to supply a quantity for the * trifling articles' of wardrobe Mr Syddall was going tofurnish . Sofar allhad gene emooth , and the next' move' was to get rid of the orderly . This was sooa dona . The Hon . Charles

      Walter Fitzclarence told the orderly sergeant that he had an uncle , Lord CardiRaa , who was -raiting at Sir Thomas Arbuthnst ' s , and despatched him thither with a note . It was now that things did not begin to run smooth . Mr Syddall had taken a secend thought ; and , before parting with hi ? goods , sent up a shrewd shopman , to have an intenriew with the lieutenant touching the aoney . The lieutenant said he had nothing less than a cheque for £ 100 . The Shopman vent out and returned , as ha said , with change . ' Show me the mosey , ' said the lieutenant ' Show me the cheque , ' said the shopman , nothing daunted . The lieutenant , net to appear disconcerted , took the shopman into the passage of the hotel , pointed to a heap of luggage belonging to various travellers , said hU orderly had gone « ut , and asked him If hethonght a gentleman could be expected to unpack that luggage for a paltry £ 100 cheque , when

      Monday would do a 3 well ? The shopman went away . Mr Syddall hinted his suspicioHS to the saddler , and Boon afterwards the latter was at the Royal Hotel for hb ' small account . ' The Hon . Charles Walter Fitzdarenee did not wait for Mr Haiableton to say unpleasant things , but observed that the whip was not so handsome as he could have liked— 'he did not mind extra expense , '—and asked if ha coald hn . ve a gold guard fixed to tne handle ? Mr Hambleton sketched ene which wonld only cost £ 25 sdditktnal , which was agreed upon , nnd Mr flambletoa walked eff with his ~ whip , resolving inwardly that neitker whip nor guard Bhoirld ba again forthcoming . Thus ended the adventures of Saturday . Oa Snnday Mi Beswick , superistendent of rolice , hearing of the affsir , apprehended the Hon . Charta Walter FiJzolarencc , who , giving a rei ? unsatisfactory secouct oi himself , was brought before tlie nia ^ ' stratea . He Stands remanded :

The circumstance coming to the knowledge of Mr Taylor , ths borough coroner , he Issued his warrant for holding an inquest on the bndy , when evidence was adduced : —James R « ttom dep » sed that he wat n inmate ot the borough workhouse . Ha knew the deoeased , John Rothwell ; he ww 72 years old . Witness remembered the deceased going ; into the hospital on Thursday week . He was then afflicted with dysentery , and was attended by Mr Sharp . Tho nurse , named Henry Bicknell , was in the habit of beating the inmates with a whip . Witness remembered him striking the deceased about a week ago . Bicknell asked deceased ta go to bed , but he said he

      would not . Bicknell said if he did not go he would make him , and he fetched the whip , which be used about the deceased ' s legs , after which he got hold of the small end , and laid the butt end about deceased ' s r ibs and back . Deeeased had only his shirt on at the time . He got into bed , and cried out WUfder , apon which Bicknell got hold of a sheet , and tied it over his mouth to prevent him from being heard . On the following morning witness observed that the Bkin was knocked off from decaased ' s shoulder-blade and the plaee looked much inflamed . By the coroner . —He saw BickDellbeat deceased again on Sunday , 26 th ult , ; i ; was between two and three o ' clock in the morning . Bicknell wanted deceased to get into bed , but he Would net , whereupon . he struck

      deceased several times over tbe temples , whioh caused him to fall on the floor . He was assisted up again by witness ; There was no cause for Bicknell to fitrifee the deceased . "When liickueW brought in tbe whip he said he had bought it en purpose for them . Witness was frightened to inform tbe governer of Bicknell's conduct for fear he would treat Urn the same . He remembered a female nurse inquiring abont the wounds upon deceased , and also bow he had got a black eye . Witness said he had fallen against a bed-post . He knew he was telling a falsehood , but he durst not say to the contrary for r ear of Bicknell . Several other paupers , were examined , all of whom corroborated theaboveteaUmony . Mr Sharp , the surgeon , said he saw deceased on iuesday week . He ordered him to be removed to the hessital . Hb cwnnlainfc was dvsfinterv . He

      ateo appeared to tea nan of imbecile mind . Wit-Dt 63 attended hta from the time of his removal . He cbierred , a few days before hit death , a skin wound a little below the ekeek bone , which was attended with a blaek eye . Witness asked what bad caused it , and was told that it was produced by deceased falling when bo cot up in the night . Witness had made a pott mm tebi examination . He considered the cause of death was dysentery . He considered the treatment ef the nurse towards the deceased was most brutal . There certainly was not any occasion to use violence te the deceased .. The coroner having summed up the evidence , tht jury returned a verdict , 'That the deceased died from dysentery , but they cannot separate without . expressing their abhorrence of the brutal and inhuman conduct of Bicknell , and they desired that he should at once be removed from Mb situation '

      TORKSHIBE . Acthat with the Miutibt . —An inquest was heia , at Sheffield , upon Thomas Morten ased 30 , a eatler , •»!!<> died from injuries which he received in a desperate affray with a party of the" soldiers of the 40 th Foet . The inquiry excited the greatest interest . Maria Roberta deposed that on Saturday se | nnight she went to the Army Arms to her husband " , with whom she left about twelve o ' clock , accompanied by deceased and his brother . When they were turning down Barraek-lase they heard seme persons singing , and shortly afterwards met two soldiers . John Morten asked them why . they were singing eones on a Sunday morning . The soldiers began fcuffling with the party , and witness called

      for the watchman . The guards came down from the barracks , aed ono of the soldiers carae up to witness ' husband , and said he had a good mind to ran-him through , and at the same moment pointing his bayo . net at him . She then saw deceased knocked down by one pf the soldiers with his bayonet , and about six soldiers round him . She did not see anything more , but heard several heavy blows ' struck . The watchman then came up , and witness turned back , and went to the Army Hotel . By the Jury : Witness-was close to deceased when he was knocked down . Several soldiers ran at him . None of them endeavoured ta prevent tbe blows . It was not one of the soldiers who had had the scuffle , but one of the guard who came from the barracks who knocked

      dsceaseadown . The baypneta which the soldiers had were fastened to their muskets . George Roberts , husband of the last witness , confirmed her evidence up to the time when they met the two soldiers who were singing . Witness asked one of the soldierB what they were doing out at that time of night , and he replied . 'We have get a holiday for the night . ' William Tho ^ p , the watchman , deposed that he was on duty on the night in question . His attention was called to the spot by Mrs Roberts . Ho there saw a p * sonon the ground , nnd a soldier oh top ef him . Witness pulled him off , and asked him if he was going to murder the man . to which he replied that he had been insulted . The cross belt of one of the soldiers was lying on the road , and a soldier who had

      been standing by the deceased picked it up and walked away with it . The soldier whom he had pulled off the deceased made an effort to get away , but witness retained him until Sergeant Johnson took the prisoner out ef witness' custody . The soldier was in custody , and witness could swear to him , and also to tne person who was near him . When witness saw deceased he appeared much hurt , and when he was pulling the soldier off him deceased cried out , « For God ' a sake don't kill me . Tho Ceroner said it was very necessary that the prisoners should be brought before him to hear the testimony of the witnesses . He should adjoHrn the inquiry . Fatal 6 tbau Boileb Expmsios . —In the afternoon of Monday , last the workmen employed tX the

      works of Messrs Smith , Beacock , and Tannett . machine makers and iron founders , called the Victoria Foundry , wero interrupted in their labours by the explosion or blowing away , with a loud rambling noise , of one of the steam-engine boilers . The boilerhouse , which was fitted up with two boilers , for the wotkuigo ? w engine of abont sixteen-horae power , was completely levelled with the ground , and the boiler which burst was blown over an adjacent building from fifteen to twenty yards high , to a distance of about thirty yards from its bed . The adjacent boiler was also blown from its seat , and turned upside down , with the ends reversed , the enaine itself being almost wholly destroyed , aed the building over which the exploded boiler wasblown , considerably damaged ia its progress . The engine-man , named J . Newton , was so severely injured , tbak he died almost

      immediately . A girl , named Harrison , about fourteen years of age , who was passing along a footway which adjoins the external wall of the premises , and over which the boiler . was blown , was se severely scalded , that she survived the accident but a short time . A persoB named J . Williamson , who was employed in the works , was also so dreadfully scalded that but faint hopes are entertained of his recovery . Three other persons also received some severe scalds and contusions . Owing to the death of the engineman the cause of the accident will probably be never satisfactorily determined . At present it ts supposed to have been occasioned by the engine-man having allowed tbo boiler to become overheated , frem an insufficiency of water , and that when he added water , on his return from dinner , the heat of the boiler generated steam too rapidly . It is estimated that the damage done will amount to nearly £ 2 , 000 .

      HOTIS . AormrenAst . —A Chud awicked by a Lios On Monday last , a little after ten o ' clock , a very fierce attack was made by the lion ' Nero , ' in Mr Hylton ' s menagerie , at the fair , upon a child , three years of age , daughter ef Mr Chittock , the owner of a earavan attending the fair . The aunt of the child , JtfisB M'Pherson , the lion ' s queen , was in the act of walking in front of the dun of the animal , carrying her niece , when the lion sent forth his paws through an opening at the lewer part of the caravan , and seizing the child ' s head tore it most frightfully , both bshiad and on its forehead and face , and before it could be liberated , which was done by main force , one of its anna was dreadfully lacerated and its right ear literally torn off , as it only buns by

      a little skin . A cry was raised that the lion had got at liberty , and the women shrieked and ran over each other towards the door for safety . At length the keepers succeeded in calming all apprehension on this head , acd the real cause of the alarm becanvunderstood . The child was conveyed to its mother , in the caravan , and surgical aid was obtained . While in London Mr Hylton removed the lion from his o ^ rn caravan , and there were no locking bars on the den in which 'Nero ' was exhiMted , which was in feet the cause of this mischief . The lion ' s queen and a man who assisted her to drag the child ftom the lion s claws , both had wounds inflicted upon their hands by the animal , as he struck at everything within his reach . The child Hea with litUe hope of recovery .

      BRDFORDSHIKE . Inobkwart Fihhs . — This county has once more become the scene of incendiary outrage . Daring tne past week two fires have occurred in the Woburn district , one of which threatened the destruotien of a whole village , It took placa on a farm belonging to the Right Hon . Sir G . Rose , Bart ., in the occupation of Mr Charles Gale , and abutting on the village of Little Brinkhill . The flames spread with rapidity from stack to stack , and the heat became so intense as to render approach to the . rick-yard wholly impracticable . Owing to the distance it was a long time before engines arrived , and when they did they were nearly useless , on account of the difficulty of obtaining a sufficient avspply . of water . At this time the granary , barns .

      stabling , and other farm buildings , were blazing fiercely , the refleotion being visible for many miles round . It was discovered that premises at the skirts of the villaje were on fire , belonjiinp , respectively , to Mr Penrose , surgeon , Mr Tomkins , and Mr King , maltster , and unless speedily arrested at this point , it was evident that the whole village must be involved in the conflagration . - Happily , the efforts of the villagers were favoured by a change of wind , and the flames wero eventually subdued at all points before daybreak . The l os * cannot be far short of £ 3 . 000 . The second fire took place at a farm , near the village of Wavenden , in the occupation of Mr J . Lewsoy . It broke out soon after midnight , and . though speedily discovered , and aid promptly afijrded , the chief part of the homestead was reduced to ashes . The loss is said to be nearly £ 100 .

      KKHT . Cabs oi Drowning at Rochbstjb , —On the night of Saturday , the 4 th of September , the body ot a youag female was observed floating in the river a short distance above Rochester-bridge . From circumstances which have since transpired , it appears that her name was Wise , and that she had been living with her brother , an eating-house-keeper in f are-street , London . It would seem , from a letter tound in her . box , that disappointment in her affections led to the . fatal termination of her life . Beyond the followin

      g letter , her friends can assign no reason for this act of self-destructien : — Monday , Aug . 30 . —Miss Wisa—I am sorry to inform you that , after taking all tblngi into serious consider * , tion , I hare made up ray mind to drop tha acquaintance that eat beea between u ; but , at tho sam& time , I shall not forget your kia 3 ne 98 to me during the short time we have known esch other , and if it ever lays In my power to rflturn it , I would de so with tha greatest of pleaiure , and shsnld we ever meet again it may be as friends only .

      ^ Disgrace ™ , Outrage at Chatham . —At the County Magistrate ' s Office , Rochester , on Monday , William Berwick , a sailor , fermerly belonging to the Dido , and Ifidward Price , a private of the 63 rd Regiment , were brought up under the following eircumstanceg . It appeared from the statement of Mr J . W . Alexander , landlord of the White Lion , at Chatham , that 0 ^ Saturday , about midnight , after he had dwed his house , some parties came to the front door , and knockiBg violently against the shutters demanded sntrance . He resisted as long as possible , but the dwr was forced open , and they commenced demolishing the glass in evory direction . Having at length succeeded in ejectine the assailants .

      ope ot them then hurled a stone between seven and eight pounds in weight through the chamber window demolishing both frame and glass , striking against the bedpost with great violence . Mrs Alexander , who was m bed at the time , and who had been corfined but a few days , naturally was much alarmed , and , with her baby , took refuge in a closet iu the room . With the assistance of the piquet , ftmr men were captured , two of whom , soldiers , had since made their escape frem the barracks . The magistrate ? directed that warrants Bhould be issued for theapprehension of the other delinquents , and ordered tlie ^ prisoners to be brought again at tho next sitting .

      MANSION-HOUSE . —John Bray , aged 08 , . formerly an extensive livery stable keeper in Moorgate-street , but reduced ta the condition of a bailiff's fellower , was brought beforo the Lord Mayor charged with having attempted to violate the wife of a person in wbeie house he was appointed to keep possession . Mr T . C . Lewis , music-seller , of No . 96 , Cheapside , laid—The defendant was left in possession ef my premises from tho Sheriff's Court upon a judgment of £ 19 odd , and has been in p iSKsssion threa weeks . Sinoe he hat been there I slept out , my wife , tiro children , and a servant being left on the premises . On Friday morning , at 9 o ' clock , I oa > na borne , and could find no one except the defendant and my young man and boy in the shop . My bedroom was

      in disorder , and the bsd and bedstead wue in tha middle of the room the drawers against the door , and all in confusion . In consequence of a communication from my housekeeper , I a&U U the defendant , 'Mr Bray , what hat transpired during my absence yesterday ?' lla said , Oh , you have heard part of the uls , and I can only tell you j our wife is a —; she ha * slept with me these last ten nights , ' I said , 'I'll knock you . down if you say that again , ' and be replied , ' Oh , I am in posses , sion , and I dare you to doit ; I have arms about me , and I will use them . ' He after wards repeated the offensive words with still more disgusting additions , in the presence of the sheriff's officer , who ordered him out , and I knocked him down in the shop . He then declared that he would cut mv throat , snd my wife's throat too ,

      and be the daath of the pair of us . Mrs Mary Ann lewis , wife of the last witness , said—I had discharged my servant , and got my sister-in-law to reside with mu . On Friday I went to a friend ' s hoiise , and returned home at 10 o ' clock , I took off my bonoet » nd was going up stairs , and the defendant , who was in the kitchen on the second floor , said , ' Stop a minute , have some bread and cheese . ' I refused , and he stood between me and the door , and said , 'flow , my dear creature , you can't pasB without giving me a kiss . ' He used exceedingly gross and offensive language , and I threw up the window and screamed for the police . He followed me and seized me by the arm and pulled me away , and I ran up stairs to my bedroom and pat a chest of drawers against the door , and he tried to get in , I was in such a state of

      agitation I could not go to bed at all , and he remained outside the door . The witness then stated that the felt reluctant to increase her husband ' s trouble * by telling him what occurred . The dtf < jndnnt , hewev 6 r , continued bis solicitations on another night , regardless of tha presence of Mrs Lewis ' s sister-in-law , who seeing , an open mar iu his band , threw up the window and called out ' Murder . ' The police , however , would not take him into custody as ho was in possession . For the first tims then he used expressions againBt her reputation , and the annoyance beoame so intolerable that exposure became indispensable . Mrs Hughes stated that she . went to sleep with Mrs Lewis , in the absence of that laiy ' s husband , aod witnessed tbe extraordinary nature of that persecution with which the old fool harassed the poor

      woman , and from her description it would certainly appear that Br * y had taken leave of his asrises . It struck several persons present during the examination that the two women might have easily punished the' defendant for tbe filth y language he bad used , He , however , frightened them both by his brutality . Bray said the story had gathered a great deal in the telling , and that he had never used any threat * , for , indeed , there was no occasion for any . The Lord Mayor said the case was a very aggravated one , for the defendant had not only taken advantage of the distressed condition of the family , but was bate enough t » reflect upon the character of a woman upon being steadily repulsed . Under such circumstances it was necessary to commit him for trial at the Central Criminal Court . Committed accordingly .

      LWABETH . —The Drapers' Association pob Eablt CtosiMO . —Coibciok of the Emploikbs . —Mr Kingston , a draper in theBridge-road , Lambeth , applied to Mr Norton , under tha following circumstances : — Mr Kingston stated that a deputation from the Drapers' Early Closing Association had waited on him to obtain his sanction to close his . shop at eight o'clock on and after the first of ihe present month , when , for reasons which he urged , he refused to comply with their request , or to give any pledge on the subject . The consequence was that on the night before , about nine o ' clock , when his man was about to put up hia shutters , a piece of glass , to replace which \ iould cost him from £ 27 to £ 28 , was smashed by a piece of stone flung at it . On that morning , while in conversation with Mr Coates , ihe

      partner of Mr Atkinson , a neighbour and brother trades , man he , Mr Coates , informed him on the night before , and prior to tha destruction of his property , Mr Henry Acutt , who was also a brother tradesman and neighbour , had made use of the expression , I understand thsy are going to serve Mr Kingston out . ' He ( Mr Kingston ) thinking this somewhat extraordinary , had this morning waited on Mr H ; Acutt to aBkfor some explanation for the use of iuch an expression just preceding the act ; but though he admitted having used the expression , he declined giving any explanation . He ( Mr Kingston ) then requested he would attend before his worship at this court , to give somo explanation of the affair , and to state hh reason for hnving used the expression before mentioned . He , however , made some eicmu for not

      coming , and hs ( Mr Kingston ) wished to take his worship ' s advice as to what , under thecircumstances . he should do , or what steps he eUould take to bring the par . ties who had so seriously injured his property , and who he had no doubt whatever belonged to . , tb . 3 Early Closing Association , to justice . Mr Norton observed that he could hardly suppose for ene moment that a tradesman with any pretenBioa to character and respectability would sanction such an outrage as that committed . At the same time he frit bound to say that it was ibe duty of Mr Acutt not only to give every explanation for the use of the very significant expressions ha had uttered , but to give evtry assistance in his power in bringing to justice tho party guilty of the outrage on the applicant ' s property . The worthy magistrate then directed Rsdfard , oae of tha summoning officers of the court , to go to Mr Acutt and request his attendance . Mr Acutt attended , and expr . s-ed himself with gome warmth at tbe charge ngafrigt him . He declared he had not the slightest idea

      who it was who had broken Mr Kingston ' s window , and said that what ho had mentioned to Mr Coatei was from mere conjecture , and frem what he had heard from the yovmgmen , who were no doubt very m > ich disappointed at Mr Kingston ' s not complying with the regulation they had in view of dosing his shop oa the 1 st of the present month , at sight o ' clock . Wish rospect to the youngnwo in his employment acting aaseeretary to tbe association , he did not see what he , as his employer , bad to do with private affairB , so long as he discharged his duty pro . perly as a servant . Mr Kingston denied having made any charge agninst Mr Acutl . All he required was an « xplanation of what he considered a strange coiscidcnce Mr Norton said , that however desirable it might be to have all the shops cloted at eight o ' clock , still vsuch out rages as that complained of could not be tolerated . For his ( Mr Nortou ' s ) part , he would give every assiatanca in his power to repress » uch acts , ami he hoped Mr Acutt wonld give every information iu his power to bring the guilty parties to justice .

      The householders , in reply , compkined of being ia a very unenviable position . These cesspools were re . peatedly emptied , but , as they wera liable to overflow with heavy rains , they were compelled to pump them out , or go to the expense and inconvenience of haviDg the matter carried away by earts every two ' or three days , ia consequence of the want of proper sewage . Mr Bro . derip inflicted the penalty often shilling * in each case at the same time , observing , that he wished it to be dis ' tinetly understoo-1 that all offences against cleanliness apd thepublis health would be visited , as far a » he waa

She was not at first

      aware tnatshe was woundod , and joined in the laughter of her coHpanions on hoaring tha report ; but at the same moment experienced a sensation of numbness down the sido of her face which waa streaming with blood , and was only saved from falling by a bystander , who sup . ported her . Mr J .

      RATF . S ASD RENTS . The opposition to the collection of rates continues to progress . Seizures are being made in almost every quarter of the cou&try , and fromfparties hold , in ; large tracts ot land . If things go on as at present , nine-tenths of the populatien will be candidates for workhouse relief . At the last petty sessions for Kilkenny , the poor rate collector had thirty-five summonses against defaulters . This , be it observed , was for a 2 s rate . A 3 j has been struck since , and will be payable in a few days .

      In the county of Kerry , where lha poor law is now the mainstay and almost sole dependence ot the destitute , the opposition to the payment of the rate is becoming more general and organised . At tho meeting of tho Tralee board of guardian , on Tuesday , an official communication was read , announcing that the government had Bent directions to tbe resident magistrate to afford the aid of military and police to the collectors , all of whom it appeared , had complained of the resistance given to them . Colonel Stokes called upon the gentry to aid the collector ! ' , and a resolution to that effect was proposed . A de ' bate ensued , during which some of the ea olfido guardians objected to tho resolution as reflecting upon the landlords and dictating to them . Finally the resolution was lost by a mnjority of two . STATE Clf SSIBBZRBEH .

      On Wednesday an adjourned meeting from the proviousweek was held ) n SUibbareen Court-house , for the purpose of dsvisin ' the best means of providing employment for the labouring population . The meeting was attended by Beveral magistrates and clergymen . Thomas Somemlle , Esq . jp ., presided . » ii » The Rot . R . B . Townsend , in proposing the first resolution , entered into the calculation as to the extent of the crops throughout the nine parishes embraced in the district , and proceeded—We have provisions for the whole of our population for two-thirds ef the year . Now , the landlord must live ; hn n ,. i « f

      therefore , get his rent ; he will be looked to to support a'l dependents . The poor rate , and other heavy rates and charges at present on the land , must be paid , and tUe bitter weight of last season ' s ruin of property must oblige the tenast as well as the landlord to sell at once to find means of discharging the various demands upon him . We have calculated as though there were no rents to be paid , no taxes to be demanded , for other incumbrancea to be provided for . I say , when all these things an taken into tho account it will bs found that all you reckon on for supply of yonr population is small indeed . If I SDCak oi

'

      Dr Donova j i seconded the resolution . After referring to the frightful havoc which famine and fever committed in the union last year , he said-. A fifth part of the population of tbe Skibbereen Union was swept off . Twenty thousand died ingloriously under the influence of wasting famine . The attempt to support the people exclusively from the rates at present would prove unavailing , and a bad beginning might , he feared , lead to permanent failure . Several other resolutions and a memorial to tha Lord-Lieutenant were agreed to .

The correspondence is between Mr Sharman Crawford and Mr J . Ryan . The following are extracts from Mr Crawford ' s letters : — ' ' I need set observe to you how important it is that the demonstrations of public opinion on this or any other ( question relating to the rights of the people should be conducted in such a manner as to afford no pretence to its opponents to charge against the mode or matter of such demonstration any imprudent excessany ' violation Of constitutional principles—or any kind of procseding which would create ihe apprehension of danger to the just rights of property , or to the public peace , or good order of society . ' The following communication was subsequently received from Mr Crawford : —

      'I am glad you are not connected with Mr Lalor ' s meeting . The result of this mealing will show what course of proceeding would be expedient for you to take in any future meeting . ' You will conceive my coming to Thurlow would eB « tlrely depend upon how far my presence wonld be useful t » the cause , and my acceptance of any personal compliment , such as you ' allude to , would entirely depend upon that consideration .

      The condition of the retail traders may be judged from a fact stated on Monday in the corporation , that mono of our beat business streets , namelv , Urafton-street , there were Y «> ry recently thirty-eight executions on / Jity attachments within one week ! ' ¦ -. ¦ lU [? E FAIMJRB IK the . CATTLK IRADK . Messrs Margin and Molloy , very extensive cattle dealers in Smithfield , have" stopped payment . The Mercantile Advertiser' says , the firm has been , for some years , engaged in the export of cattle to Liverpool , and , we believe , their transactions have been on a very large scale . They have been in the habit ot pur chasing from the sales-masters in Smithfield , and consigning the stock thus obtained to factors in Liverpool ; and , according to the custom of the

      trade , the produce of the sales was remitted immediately after , and payments made to the sales-masters here in due course . Last Wednesday , however , the firm were unable to meet their engagements . As to the amount of their liabilities , nothing at all certain is yet known ; Some reports set them down at £ 60 000 ; but we are satisfied they will fall very far short of that figure , and perhaps , less than a third parfcef the sura uov \ W cover their engagements . The house of Mergin and Molloy was alse engaged in the tanning trade . Tub Repkai AssociAiios .--This body met on Monday , Mr Francis Scully , M . P , in the chair . Mr Scully alluded to the present calamitous state of the country , and the urgent neoessitv which existed for

      procuring food for the people . This waa the paramount duty which would devolve upon the council of Irish members ; the next was tenant riuht , and its secure establishment . The meeting at Holy Cross for that purpose had not his sanction or that of his hon ; colleague , for it was not held by the people of that county , but by strangers . A movement of that nature should come from that hall and tho clergy , Mr John O'Connell , is his address to the meeting , animadverted with considerable severity upon the address of the general assembly of Ulster , and the lord-lieutenant ' s reply . The body from which it emanated he called money seekers and sycophants , who spoke not the sentiments of the presbyterian body . The reply he stigmatised as insulting , and aa

      manifesting a want of feeling which was characteristic of English statesmen . He compared the aid given by England with that which England , he said , owed this country , and contended that the dealings of tho former with the latter manifested a murderous niggardliness . ' The Lord-Lieutenant had asked what Ireland would have done if thrown on her own resources ? But had not Ireland the church lands , and would not their sale relieve the distress ? Bui if they wero obliged to resort to the aid of other countries , had not Russia lent two millions recently to England , and had not generous America money to lend them ? Ireland had a rwht

      , he said , 'to get back from England the money of which she had been robbed . ' Mr O'Connell , in conclusion , said the roads now unfinished should be taken up—that parliament should be called together ^ and that Ireland should be preserved , or in tbe circumstances in which England now was , she might find her weakness augmented by Ireland . MrO'Connell read a communication from Castlebar , agreed to atameetin ; oftlie Roman catholic clergy of that district , of which the subjoined is a copy , and stated that he knew that similar representations had been addressed tothe country from other more influential quarters : —

      At a meeting of the clergy of the deanry of Castlebar , held at the Chapel house , the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : —That we recoil from contemplating the hcart-rend ing sufferings which many of the poor are enduring , and are likely to tnuuro during the approaching winter , as their resources ere now entirely exhausted , ami tho grain crops , i ( left exclusively to the growers , would not support them for the next threo months ; and we are convinced that thousands will fall victims to famine and disease , if steps be not immediately taken by the government to avert the awful calamity with which they are threatened . That the permanent poor-law in its present isolated BtaterjRflO

      , compamed nhh large and comprehensive m ? asures for developing the mourceg of the country , and stimulating the industry of its inhabitants , so far from producing the benefits intended by the legislature , will » well th . amount of pauperism and endanger the safety of all property in Ireland by its heavy and unequal pressure That whilst we freely admit the justice of the principle that property should support the poverty of the country , we deny its applicability to Ireland , from whose shores capital and skill have been for centuries excluded , whose cemmorce and manufactures have been onnihilatcd owing to the want of a domestic and independent Iegi « . lature .

Russell an address and resolutions ' , from East Skull , briefly aWuded to the more prominent grievances , which he conceived Ireland to have snffcred at tho hands of the Imperial Legislature , and concluded his letter ia tho following terras : — I shall not remind yoar lordship of the criminal nad impeachablo neglects and acti , in respect of Ireland with which you and your present colleagues are to justly chargeable , further than by adding my porsonal testimony to tfje truth of the statements contained in theBe papers , and by expreBing my own conviction thatfar

      , from , aavmg a demand to make for repayment of the sums you have squandered , you owe to Ireland a hoavy debt , in respect of her labour wasted , hep lands thrown out of profitable employment , and her roads and public works made U 3 oless or destroyed . I have , themfore determined not to enter further into the subject of the enclosed papers than by calling your serious attention to thorn ; and I need not point out to your lonlship that the constitution under which we live imposes on the servant of her Majesty a heavy responsibility for even an error of judgment in the discharge of his public duties , whsro grave interests are concerned . In this iastance the interest at stake is that of tbe lives of her people .

      Lord John replied in the cutting style , addressing hi 3 answer simply to ' Mr T . C . Anstey . ' Szrr , 20 . —Sir ; I have had the honour to receive your ' letttrof tho 17 th inst . I am deepl y concerned at the prospect of distress in East Skull , in the county of Cork . It appears to me that the owners of propeHvin Ireland ought to feel the obligation of supporting tho poor who have been born on their own estates , and hava hitherto contributed to their yearly incomes . It is not just to expect that tbe working classes of Great Britain should 1 ermautntly support tha burthen of Irish paupurl . m . I shall not take auy notice of the numerous errors of faot and argument into which you bavo fallen in your letter aocompanyiRg tha representation you have sent me . Mr Anstey had a few last words , ia which he sp « ke out plainly about the' maladministration'' indifferencu' and carelessness of the ministry , and concluded : —

      I havo corarmiuic&ted to the gentlemen olEast Skull your lordship ' s decision , and theso comments j and I have only to infurm you that my failure t » move your lordship by tho representation which I hav . e made to you on their behalf , compels me to proceed to the next step to which they have also > invited mo ; and that I thall Immediate ] " on the Mumbling of parliament do mjput as one f the member , of parliament for « , Cgh of Cork ' » S : ti ! : it : & ? i ^ Jfi 3 Z 2 Z ! fs 7 nl ! l m ™ the re «^<> ftho destitute ? or rather Ot such of thtm asEsy be do longer ia tho enjoyment of the existence which it now depends eu you town or to SXUURUlJu ,
