STATE OF TUB COL'XTfiY . Dl'BLlx , Iwrv ' . 10 —Tn the accounts r . cesved Hits morning there is nothing to aifc-r tbe opinion already ( Xpressed re- - pecting the gradual iniprovement in the condition of the country . Very few ou traces arc rci Orf-Tll , nnd none of fliem are of a very se' -huis ell . t i-. ictcr . ' . ''here is still , doubtless , a fearful amount of destitution , much greater than lias existed in culinary periods of scarcity . But . as the public works extend , a decided c ! ian ! re fni' the bettoi 1 is apparent a . monpst the peasantrv . _ ' ! 'he relief associations are -preailing , am ! soup lutchivis arc now becoming yen si-ucral . In mo ^ t counties the resident landlords arc exos-timj llu-mselvcs in a very crediiable manner to promote measures suitable to the emergency ; and in some dist-icts new piTscntment sessions liavc been csllcd f-r , in order to substitute drainage and . - . ther productive works for roads and useless project * , wliich iiuve already been presented for .
The excitement siapears to Lo wearing itself out , and the increase of employment auVrdcd by t !> c Board of Works , coupled with tiie favourable re . tc tion ( lo the consumer ) in the prices of provisions , affords a strong hope that the disease has been brought to a favourable crisis , and that a . 'radnal amendment may he henceforward regarded as certain al . » hou : « h sloiv . At the Corn Exchange , this day , prices of all kinds ot "vain , owing , ot course , to the nature of the last advices front America , met an advance , but , considering that the supply wasshort , the rise was extremely insignificant , not exceeding
sixpence tier barrel . Th ? arrivals of Indian corn continue t-n increase both here and at the southern ports . Four more vessels , lotion wMi heavy cargoes of this grain , have arrived at Cork since Saturday lait , and farther importations are daily expected . Co . vstitctioX o ? Relief Commiitkks The l . ord-Licutenant has , in consideration of the complaints made respecting the exclusion of curates of the Unman Catholic Church from Relief Committees , given instructions pcrmittin « parish priests to nominate one curate ' ii each relief committee sitting within his cure , fcr every parish of which that cure consists .
DROGHEDA . —STATE OP THE 1 'EOPLE . [ From our Correspondent . ) The people here are iu a wretched state . Already a- c they shewing signs Of their distress hy the committing of petty larcenies . The pawn offices are filled to repletion with the clothes and effects of the starving inhabitants . The rich men of the town are doing nothing to mitigate tiie distress ; no Baronial Sessions have been hold . Many instances are known of families subsisting for a whole dey on one meal , that too of the coarsest description of food ; our streets thronged with crowds of hungry men , women and children . It is lamentable to see the apathy of our local patriots nothing doinj ; , no pkins of relief are being set on foot to feed tho peop . ' e . Verily they are false shepherds , who , while there is
peace , live on their flocks , but as soon as the dangers enter the fold , ilee from their charge , and leave their herds a prey to the destroyer . Hunger has afflicted , and is nliiictinp ; many . Disease superinduced by hunger , is making rapid strides among the people . Dyseutry pro . vails to an alarming extent . Still our intelligent Na . l-obs see no cause for the exercise of Christian charity , hcyonfi raising tlioir eyes to heaven , calling on the Almighty to leave his throne , and come down among us mortals , to do—What 1-r-tO open tlieir drawers and take some of the sweat and blood coined money hoarded by their pioii 5 rieli men in their coffers . There is no way to avert the present famine creared by the aristocracy bur by taking tlieir unjust and ill-gotten treasures from those leeches who have sacked the lifes' blood out of the
people's hearts . Amid this shameful derelictien of duty , it is consoling to think that one man lias had the manliness to declare that those dependant ou him fhall not starve . That man is William S . Crawford , Esq ., the noble member for Rochdale . Ue has an estate in the county of Me . tth , about three miles from this town , he visited his tenants on Tuesday , November 3 rd , called them all together , and , in the presence of the Rev . Mr . H ' alsh , 1 \ P ., told them to appoint a committee to inquire into the state of the labouring poor on his estate to assess the various holdings thereon , and that the . stun raised for the relief of the poor , he would pay the half of . He also gave orders to have all the land under grazing cattle broken up , and told the tenants whatever money they required for improving thciv farms , he would
advance them at a small rate of interest , adding that , it ttiey . it any time felt disposed to leave their farms , they might sell t ! cir right in them , or he himself would pay them in full for any and every improvement they should make . But to crown all his other acts of kindness , he save a strong proof that he under , lands the real grievance of the country to be the monopoly of the land in the hauls of a few . The leases of five of his tenants ht-ving expired , he divided their holdings into sixty cepirate farms . Well may Kochdale he proud of its member and Dundalk . How has it suffered hy driving . Mr . Crawford fio .-n its representation . Represented now by a brainlc & s buffoon , whose only claims on the intelligent electors of that borough as he himself assured them , is that " He is his lather's son ' . "
ABANDONMENT OF HIE o ' cOXNEI . L TRIBUTE . The tribute of 1 S-1 G is abando n ed , and the formal announcement Of the fact will appear forthwith in t ie pompous language of that indefatigable financier , Patrick Vincent Fitzpatrick , Esq ., secretary to the trustees . There was an amusing tale told on the tenth by one of the asters in the Utile national drama , which should not be kept from the world at this monot-nous period . About three weeks ago the wit-. y secretary ivaitcd U | ion Sir John Power with she draft of : ; n address to the people of Ireland , rewinding Hum cf the manifold services of O'Connell , aud fixing Sunday , the 20 th of November , for tiie simultaneous collection of the iriliutc for 1816 : and this he presented to Sir John
for his signature , with that noncfwlance tor which be stands unrivalled . l \ iur Sir John—whose mind is as like that of Mr . Pickwick as is his outward man ( and wiio that has ever seen our famous distiller wiil not admit that the likeness is perfect)—Sir Jom stood amazed , and eyed through It ' s capacious spectacles his own name , in pencil , At the foot of a composition of unusual length and eloquence . At last he mustered up sufficient courage to request the secretary to give him a < ny or two to consider the mutter , and consult with his nominal co-trustee , Mr . CorilcliUS M'Louglllin . The worthy oSiccr , in ircJl-feiirued surprise , bowed assent , intimated his intention of being there again within the two days , and retired . In the meantime the benevolent old baronet had a conference with his cotrustee , who had evidently considered the matter ,
expressed no astonishment at anything coming from such a quarter , and recommended a more extended consultation . Accordingly , a meeting of the friends of the " Liberator" was held Some days afterwards at the hou = e of Mr . Fitzpntrick , where Sir John Power and Mr . M'Lought ' m both expressed tlieir doubts of the propriety of issuing any appeal on bis behalf for a ' -little '' time until the apprehensions of famine , then so prevalent , should have subsided . Some of the party were for proceeding ill what they termed the ordinary course , bus it was ultimately an-anged that circulars should be addressed to all the active collectors , clerical and lay . who were .-tiil deemed faithful to the Liberator , seeking their opinion as to the probable success of another appeal . The story runs , that ill a short time a bach of replies were received from all parts , -iii ! ieier-t"to enable the friends to form an estimate
of the general state of public fed mi : on the subject . Some of these were point-blank against anything of the kind , and the writers entered iiuo no reasons for their opinions ; others hoped for a postponement until aiter Christinas , when they doubted not that all talk of fa ; ninc should have ceased—whilst a third and the most numerous class of objectors , candidly said , that- in conseqtmcc ot the late ' spiit iu Conciliatioi : Hal ) , and tiie spread of Young Ireland principles , little or nothing could be expected even were the potatoes sound ami plenty Tins aggregate collection of opinions from all parties set tied the business . A motion , postponing the " appeal" for two months , was put to the vote aud carried , to the evident sorrow of Patrick Vincent i- ' nzi - .-atrk-k , who calculated upon raising £ 10 , 000 at least , winch at ten per cent , would leave , according to Ci . cker , £ 1000 as his own fee .

Mr . Dent , and lie seized property Which cost the tenant £ 14 I 8 a . two years' previous . An inventory wtu made , and the defendant did not include in it a jug , bason , and cane basket which
ho ought to have doae . The goods were removed to the sale room of Mr .

On Tuesday , Mr , J . Sinnott , an extensive dust contractor , was summoned nt the instance ofthe parochial authorities ot Ci . iistchuvch , Uiackiriars , for suiVeiing a nuisance to etist in a portion of that parish , calculated to be highly prejudicial to the health of the inhabitants . A solicitor on the part of the parish described thai the defendant was tho occupier of cxicn- ' tve promise .- ' «<;; , u « e : » t to Ui-pai- Ci'ouiuUti-cet ,. near llw toot of lilaekl ' rhirs-iiridgc , on ihe Starty nide , and called Jamuicir wharf .

The luighbt . m .
Thames-Street. Excessive Distress —Ou Th...
hood where this pestiferous heap was allowed to accumulate was a densely populated one , and there was abundant proof to show that disease was engendered by the foulgasses emitted from such a heterogeneous mass of animal and vegetable matter . The solicitor here handed in a certificate signed by two medical practitioners , setliii" forth that they had viewed the defendants premis ? s r and that tho filth and rubbish there collected emitted such an diluvium as was calculated to be most prejudici . 'il to tho public health . One of the gentlemen present , Mr . Doubleday , n surge m , of Hlaekfi-iars-road , in the course of his examination stated , that when he viewed the premises , the sbnch arising from the heaps « f filth collected there tviic of fie mod . offensive description , and he could aver ,
lYo .-n his own experience , was injurious to health , for he attende d a family residing near the spot , most of whom iverc attacked wiih fever j awl he had no doubt thodis . ease was produced from their contiguity to the place ivlu-re such abominable filth was suffered to exist . He then gave an instance of tiie effects of the deleterious nn ture ofthe gaseous matter emitted from tha heaps in the place , by saying that a piece of fresh-killed tnuttou was suspended near the spot , and that in loss than a quarter of an hour it was in a state of putrescence . He added that he should not have signed the certificate produced if the nuisance complained of wit ! not of the most dangerous description to the health of the inhabitants ol the locality . Mr , Chinks Knight , manager of a coalwharf adjacent to the premises , state /! that prior to tbe defendant becoming the occupier , Jsiniaicn-wiiarf was a timber-yard . Since , however , he bad taken the place , he had converted it into a lay-stall for the reception of filth of every description . The witness had seen
cartloads of putvid geese , rotten eggs , and other offensive matters brought into the premises and shot out into the midst of other equally impure materials . His own health and that of his family had suffered materially ever since such a place was allowed to exist . On the part of the defendant it was contended that the effects likely to be produced by the business he carried on were very much exaggerated , and that tho public , instead of complaining , ought to bo thankful for having the streets and markets cleared , and the rubbish conveyed away . Mr . Seeker said the public would have no reason to complain , if the offensive , materi als were consigned to such a p / ace as ivere not lifcely to interfere with health , but that shooting such matters in a densely populated neighhourhng was most improper , and he should therefVn-e make an order on Che defendant to remove the nuisance within 48 hours ; otherwise ulterior proceedings , ol' a more stringent character , would be taken against him .

The prisoner denied having threatened the prosecutiixas described , or being the father ofthe child . Ue also denied having sent a letter to her , requesting
the prosecutrix to come to London with the child . Mr . Greenwood had no doul-t that he had sent the letter to induce the girl to come to London with the child , hut on seeing her mother with her lie became annoyed and disappointed . The leant he could do , as he had been instvumeutal in bringing them up to London , would be to enable them to go back sguin by advancing them the means . As the threat had been proved , arid as the prosecutrix swore that she was in fear of her life , he must order him to find two respectable housekeepers as-hail to keep the peace . The prisoner was then locked up , but subsequently agreed to give two sovereigns to enable the pat-ties to return to Chippenham , and under an assurance that he had no intention to harm any one , he was liberated :

Weave said he had had no refreshment except a bowl of soup at Alderman Birch ' s , and upon coming out and walking quietly and inoffensively down Cheapnde , he was pushed and hustled about in a most unceremonious manner , although he strictly kept to his side of the wall .
Irritated fay such treatment in a great public thoroughfare , ho had behaved rudely to the gentleman who complained , under the erroneous impression that . Mr , Shiliingfonl was amongst those who elbowed him about . The Lord Mayor—Which do you consider to be your side of the wall ? Mr . Weare—I consider that when my leftsideis next to the wall , I am entitled to the wall . The Lord Mayor—You were wrong in your opinion ofthe generally understood practice for the puijlie accommodation , which is , that those whose right hands are next to tho wall are entitled to the wall . Mr . Weare—Indeed ! 1 had no notion of such a * hing . 1 come from the country , and there the leftluud always goes to tho wall . ( A laugh . ) The Lord Mayor—Such is the necessity in this crowded city fora ^ -egulatiou ofthe kind , that even ladies are not sanctioned in violating it . Mr . -SJiilli / ijford said , the assault , as an assault , was not at all worth speaking about . The Lord Mayor—If Mr , Shillingford is satisfied with your apol-gr , I see no reason why I should disapprove of it . The defendant then left the bar .
