      DREADFUL DEATH OF A FlMAtE FKOM STARYATION . On Monday , a lengthened inquiry was proceeded with , before Mr . T . Wakley , W . P ., Coroner for the Westers Division of Middlesex , and a respectable Jury , in the Board Roem of Chelsea Workhouse , Arthur-street , King ' s Road , Chelsea , into the oircumstances attendant upon the death of Maria Mansfield , aged 32 years , who died in the above Workhouse on Thursday last . Mary Ann M'Keen deposed that she was one of tbe nurses m Chelsea Workhouse . On Wednesday , the 15 th inst ., the deceased was brought into that Workhouse , and was delivered into witness ' s charge from the casualty ward . Witness gave the deceased , whom she had never seen before , by order of the doctor , some wine and arrowroot every half hour , and sat up with her during the night . Deoeased was in a most miserable and weak state , and

      one of her legs had » bad sore . Deceased , when earned to witness ' s room was hardly able to speak , but after she was washed , and dean clothes put on her , she exclaimed , " Oh , how nice . " Mr ? . Fox . another nurse in the house , on seeing the deceased , asked her if she had not slept there about a week ago , to which the deceased replied in tbe affirma tire ; when Mrs . Fox asked her why she had not before applied for an order for admission into the workhouse , to which she replied that she had done so , but had been refused by Mr . Newsom , the relieving officer . Deceased did not Bay why Mr . Newsom had refused her , nor did she 8 ay when or where lie had so done . Deceased ' s feet were as cold as ice all night , and witness applied hot water to them , but couid get no warmth in them . Deceased in the course of the night said she should not trouble any one long , and died about half-past one o ' clock on Thursday afternoon .

      The Rev . Wm . Jay , curate of Upper Chelsea , deposed that en Wednesday last , between twelve and one o ' olock , while visiting in the neighbourhood , he first saw the deceased sitting on a chair in a yard in the Royal Hospital Row , Chelsea , with several poor persons round her , who stated that she' was d y ing from cold and want . Witness immediately inquired if she had had anything given her , and found she had had some brandy . He instant ; y got the first conveyance he could procure , and had her brought to that

      workhouse , where she was imm ? diately admitted . The persons around her appeared to be strangers to her , but when witness said he would send her to the workhouse , they said it would be of no me , as she had been there before and been refuBed admission . Deceased appeared too ill to speak . Robert Hall Aucock , porter at the workhouse , proved that the deceased had two or three times been admitted for a night's lodging , but he never knew her to apply for an order of admission aud be refused .

      Mr . NewEom , the relieving-officer ; John Slade , a pauper , who attends the applicants for relief ; and the master of the workhouse , swore most positively that the deceased never applied for admission into the workhouse nor had been refused either directly or indirectly . John Webb , a miserable-looking man , residing in Lawrence-yard , Jews-row , Chelsea , deposed that the deoeased had for three months slept on the stairs of the house where he resided , where she had nightly pulled off her bonnet and sat down . She had nothing vo subsist on but half-a-pint of beer and a bit of bread , which persons sometimes gave her . Deceased told the persons of the house that she belonged to Nawington parish , and that she had applied for relief at Chelnea , bat had been refused , and having a bad leg , could not walk so far eb Newington . He had tried to persuade her to go into the workhouse , and when he offered to go with her she refused the offer . He had never seen her in liquor , and he had no doubt that she had died from the wan ; of proper food . The Jury , after consulticg together , then returned a verdict , "The deceased died from wast of food and the common necessaries of life , and without default on cue part of the parochial authorities of Chelsea .

A huglby didcu& > iou took place respecting electing a delegate to the forthcoming Convention , when it was decided that it should be deferred until Mr . O'Brien ' s arrival , as they recognised no other representative , either in the House of Commons or the Convention , tkan Mr . O'B . The following resolution was agreed to unanimously : — Mcved by M . r . Sinclair , seconded by Mr .- Crothers , "That the Newcastle Charter Association present a memorial to the Secretary of State for the Home Department , respectfully requesting him , in his appointments of gentlemen to the Commission of the

      Peace , not to forget that there are Charuuts in this locality as capable of performing the duties of that important office as any yet appointed , or any of her Mnjesty ' s subjects . " Mr . Sinclair was appointed to draw up that address . The following notices of motions were then annonnced to be brought forward on next Monday evening : —By Mr . Cockburn" That a Debating Society bo formed in connection with this Association , aud arrangements entered into for tbe immediate carrying out of ihe same ou this night week . " By Mr .

Ice , and also to grant a free pardon to Frost , Williams , and Jones , and the liberation of all political prisoners ; but which the Mayor , ( being presiding officer ) oeolared to be lost , and the original resolution carried .

      HUNSLET . —Thr Chartist Press . —Means of -extending IT 3 EFFICIENCY . —At a recent meeting of the Hunslet Chartists , it was resolved unanimously , "That a Cbartist Loan Tract Society be formed for Hunslet ; and that six districts , of fortyfive hou . vs each , be . ' aid out to be visited weekly with Chartist tracts ; the tracts to be the English Chartist Circular , from No . 1 to 46 inclusive , and that six of each number , from 47 , be purchased wf ekly , in order to have a stock ready when the others " have gone their rounds . " This plan will be in operation almost immediately , and we beg to call the most Berious attention of the Chartist public to the necessity and

      advantages of its immediate and -general adoption . We well know that a tract is often read where a conversation would not be allowed . Wo also know that much misrepresentation has gone abroad as to our motives and principles , and U < at ; much ignorance prevails both aa to the state aud burdens of the country , and the characters and proceedings of the worthies of former times . . Now , all this would be materially removed by the diffusion of sound political knowledge ; and no work , taking its variety and price into consideration , is bo well calculated to eff ? ct these objects , on an extensive scale , as tho Circular .

Baker , Baptist Minister , gave out to his audience that there would be a meetiug in the chapel on Tuesday night , to take into consideration thepropriety of forming a Branch Society to the great

      League in Manchester , as he termed it . Accordingly , the Chartists of Todmorden , ever willing to hear reason , were determined to go ; and if they thought that the League ' s oVjeots were preferable to their own , after they had fairly and calmly discussed each point , to give in . But lo ! the fair-dealing Whigs ( for they are virtually deserving , of that name ) would not listen to reason ; they said they had no objections Dgair > st tho five points of the Charter ; that , in a moral point of view , ihoy were just , and deserving the support of every good and reasonable mau ; but that it would be better to get a repeal of the Corn Laws first , aud then agitato for the Charter . There was oae observation that the Rev . Mr . Baker made which is worthy .

      of notice here—that he was aware that there was not a dissenting minister in England , but was favourable to the principles of the Charter ; tho lads allowed them to proceed without any interruption , unt'l they submitted a resolution ; then a working man in the gallery of the chapel , asked if they would allow him to state his opinion , but the liberty -loving humanity-monger , and fair-dealing self-elected chairman , Baker , ;> aid that he coula uot allow discussion there ; and if any opposition to the proceedings took placo , ho would immediately dissolve the meetiug . Yes , said he , you had better not get my feelings up , for if you do ; but bethinking him that it would not do to show his tyrannical disposition there , he said no more ; for there was not

      more than a dozen persons there that was favourable to their nostrum ; and half of those were actually ashamed of the proceedings . When ho saw that no way could be done but what would throw disgrace upen them , he called upon any one present to oome forward and sign their aauies to become members ; there were just three that put down their names . The Chairman then dissolved the meeting . A person in the body of the chapel , informed the meeting that there would be a meeting in the Chartist room immediately , and wished all to adjourn thereto ; an < t another indWiuu&l then stated that if the

      Repealers would go with them , they would give them a fair hearing , and would discuss their principles with them calmly and fairly . When this person had done apeaking , three tremendous cheers were given for the Charier , and three dismal groans for the League Clique . At the door of the chapel there were a many of the constables in attendance . The meeting in tbe Chartist Room was very numerously attended , and there were some very good remarks made upon the condHct of the League generally . It wa * resolved to get up a tea party on New Year's Day , the profits to be giveu to support the next Convention .

Thcimportaof foreign Grain have been to a fair extent since this day se nnight . Up to Thursday in the past week 1 he weather continued wet , but since then there hav been sharp frosts nightly , and the aspect . ia sow very wintry and seasonable . The favourable change in the weather having caused the condition of the new Wheat to be already somewhat improved , our millers took it off more freely , and an advance of Is . per quarter was established on all eood dualities . A

      similar improvement was demanded for free foreign , which was partially given for choice qualities , bat g enerally no advance was well established .
