PROSPECTS OF THE SMALL FARMERS . A parish priest in Sown draws a very gloomy picture of the condition to which the small fanners are likely to be reduced by the failure of the petato crop , even in the county of Down , which may be called the garden of Irish agriculture . The reverend gentleman also points out the absurdity of expecting permanent , or indeed anj materil benefit , to result from the undoubted sacrifices made by some proprictorsin the diminution of their annual incomes . Speaking of the baronies of Ncaghhe thus writes : —
, " This portion of country is not an unfavourable specimen of an agricultural population ; there is in it much wealth , great industry , unquestionable mo ralitv , general sobrietv , and strict honesty . I Be land for the mo * part is gooJ . and comparatively well cultivated . It may , therefore , be fairly assumed , that if the small farmer is verging upon rum here , he cannot be better off elsewhere throughout the kingdam . Yet it is an undeniable fact that this class struggled through last year , after paying their rent , by obtaining meal and other necessaries , upon the
credit which their habitual honesty had earned for them with the shopkeepers ; but more frequently they were compelled to have recourse to the unfeeling usurer ; and . owing to the failure ofthe potato crop , this second year , they are unable to meet their demands . Their credit , too . ra annihilated , and they are to be left without resource . It may be said that they have their cattle stock to fall back upon ; ay , but what will seed their land ? Would it be for the interests of the landlords , or society , to permit this most useful and industrious class to sink into the
mass of pauperism , to which 4 , 000 , 000 of our people are already reduced ?" The Queen ' s Coi ^ eob in Ulster . —The government have consented to endow four additional professors of theology , for the education of candidates for the ministry , in connexion with the General Assembly ofthe Presbyterian Church in Ireland , at a salary of £ 250 a year each . Two professors have also been appointed for the Unitarian body ; to teach , ofcouise . Unitarian theology : the students of the latter seldom exceed seven or eight each year .
REPBonccTtvB Works . —At a late presentment sessions held in Bonis , for the barony of _ Island , a memorial was forwarded to the Lord-Lieutenant , praving that his Excellency would issue a proclamation for holding a second sessions for the consideration of new and reproductive works for the employment of the destitute labouring poor of the district . The answer was unfavourable , his Lordship thought the . £ 17 . 000 already granted for public works in that barony would be found sufficient to meet the distress ofthe winter month ? . Kerry . —The practice of killing sheep by night , and taking away tbe carcases , is becoming very general in parts of this county—more particularly at the Kenmare side ofthe county . In two or three cases the police have discovered mutton well salted , concealed in old dry ditches . —Kerry Evening Post .
Alleged Military Outrage . —The Cork Examiner has the following , in reference to a most disgusting outrage alleged to have been committed upon a female of light character by two officers ofthe 6 Tth Regiment : — ** An application was made on Saturday evening last , and that in a very peremptory manner , by Colonel Beresforrf , on thepartof Lieutenant-General Turner , Commander of the District , to his worship fhe Mayor , for a copy of the informations sworn in th case of 'Mary Anne Waterman y . two gentlemen be inn ; Her Majesty ' s Commissi-n in the 67 th Regiment of the line . ' His worship , after consulting some of his brother magistrates , granted the application , an by this time the informations are on their way to tie llorse Guards . " Government Am . —Seed Rye . — The Belfast CJaronicle says : —
" Atthe requestor a number of respectable farmers in the lower part of the county of Antrim , Mr . George Macartney , of Lissanoure Castle , applied to the authorities at Dublin Castle , to know whether it was their intention to supply seed rye , at cost price , to small farmers in the north of Ireland . The reply , we understand , was to the effect that Government intended to limitthoir supply of rye seed to the sowers in the south and west of Ireland , thereby leaving the poor ocenniers of the north altogether to their own resources .

Revolt is theBossiak Districts . —We find the fo llowing in the Agram Gazette of the 3 rd : —' 'The neighbouring Bosnian districts are in full revolt against their governor . The soul of the rebellion is the Cadi of Bihac , Mehemed Bey Rustaubegowitz , who has before been at the head of a revolt , and wh > ra 'he Pasha had vainly endeavoured to remove from Bihac . Lately the party in opposition to him Jwd assembled at Casin , and summoned the Cadi to Jay down his office , and go to the Pasha at Trawnick . But the Cadi suddenly appeared among the Bosniacs ,
aud convinced them that they were in the wrong . They thereupon abandoned their leader , who surrendered at discretion . On October 12 , the Cadi marcheJ . with a great number of his partisans , towards O oka and Zezarsko , and ordered each proprietor t' » send an armed man to join him . On October 13 he arrived at Novi with numerous followers , and on the 2 iJih had under his command from 5 , 000 to 6 . 009 men . Several Turks who attempted to make resistance , were taken and thrown into prison , and their houses burnt to the ground . The Turks of Banyaluka , it is said , made common cause with tlie Cadi , but his real intentions are not yet known . A' all events this state of things interrupts the ti n-se of commerce on ihe frontiers . "

MONDAY . MANSIOX-HOUSE . —" Magshen . "— Three men , who looked like formers , but have been long known as victimisers of country people , alias " magsmen , " were charged with havin ; robbed a countryman of seventeen £ 10 notes . Inspector Woodruffe stated , that a countryman named Smith , who Is at present in Edinburgh , was on the 13 th of October , robbed of £ 170 , which he had just received at the Bank , and there was good reascn for believing that the prisoners , who were known to be constantly associated together , were concerned in the robbery , which took place in Barnard ' s Inn coffee-house , immediately af . er the return ofthe countryman from the City , to and from which he bad been accompanied by one ofthe fellows at the bar . Two policemen had followed the prisoners from Cheapside to London Bridge , in the expectation that others ofthe gang to which the prisoners notoriously be ' onged would join them . No other part
of the gang , however , appeared , and the witness took the three men into custody , and conveyed them to the station-house , whereupon one of them was found several counterfeit sovereigns , and upon another some humbug bank notes , which had the appearance of being the issue of the Brank of England , but were manufactured in the mint of the Bank of Elegance ; and a pack of cards was also found * which bad uo doubt been played off on many a poor countryman . A lad , who bad been potboy at the Barnard ' s Inn Coffee-house at the time the countryman was robbed , stated that two of the prisoners had been sitting with the countryman , while the third was at tbe bar , aud that a st-imp was sent for , and the prisoners suddenly disappeared all together leaving the countryman without his money . The prisoners were remanded . Billington , who is 62 years of age , is very clever at imitating provincial dialects , so that he is considered a sure card with a countryman .
Diking Robebrx at a Jeweller ' s . —Henry Gibbs and John Ireland were charged with burglary . The shopman to Mr . Hott , of Cheapside , jeweller , stated that between three and four on Saturday he heard a knocking and smashing at the window , and saw the glass broken . Gibbs put his hand into tbe window , and took out one of tbe three gold watches produced . The witness ran out and seized Ireland in the act of taking his hand from the window . Gibbs was stopped by another person , and was seen throwing a watch , value £ 1215 s ., with great violence upon the pavement , and a watch dropped from Ireland , value £ 10 5 s . Immediately afterwards a third watch was picked up by a gentleman in the gutter on the spot where Ireland was apprehended . The value of the third watch was £ 13 16 s . Committed for trial .
SOUTHWARK . —Basing Stbeet Robbert . —Cornelius Collins , a stout young fellow , with the gunpowder marks between his forefinger and thumb denoting that he belonged to a gang infesting the south side of the water , called the " forty thieves , " was charged with having been concerned in a highway robbery attended with violence . William Everett , the captain of a steam vessel , stated that on Sunday night he and his wife were walking up Tooley-street together , when they arrived at that part ofthe street near the wall of the Borer railway his wife walked on a little in advance , and she had scarcely left his arm when the prisoner and two other men rushed upon bim from behind . He attempted to defend himself , but the prisoner rushed upon him in front and struck
bim a blow in the mouth that knocked him down , and while he was falling a snatch was made at his watch , which was torn away from the guard chain with the violence of the pull , and at that moment his assailants ran away . Previously , however , to the attack , he observed tbe prisoner and his two associates pass in a contrary direction , and they must have turned round and followed him until he came near the railroad , at which spot it is darker than in any other part of the street . Policeman 71 If , stated that hearing the cry of "Stop thief , " and seeing three men running with great speed up Tooleystreet , he succeeded in securing the prisoner , who exclaimed " that they were ' only running for a lark , and implored him to let him go . " The magistrate committed the prisoner for trial .
GUILD HALL . —SuspiciousMasq . cer » . dess—Two persons who had been masquerading in female attire , were charged with stealing a pin from Frederick Newhurft , of Newcastle-street , Strand . One of them appeared at the bar in walking costume , and the other had thrown away the false cuds , and torn up the bonnet and dress , and appeared in a shirt , but still he had the shawl to protect him from the cold , and from the waist he was still clothed like a woman . Among the articles they had cast off in the cell were a pair of stays . The one who still wore tbe complete dress , and who gave the name of Emma Anderson at the station , now said his proper name was John Anderson , and Jane Wilson became Edward Sulli van . The latter was recognised as a strolling tumbler . A City policeman , stated that he saw the two prisoners standing on Holborn-hill with a gentleman about
halfpast twelve on Sunday night . After walking a few yards up the hill , Sullivan stopped for a [ couple of minutes and then overtook her companion again . They immediate !} left the gentlemen , crossed tbe street , and turned up Shoe-lane . From their leaving the street he suspected they had robbei tbe gentleman . In a few minutes a constable came up with the gentleman and said he had been robbed of a pin , and the prisoners were overtaken in Shoe-lane . The pin was not found . One of them wore silk stocking ; , and had long black hair , and their true sex not being suspected , a female was directed to search them thoroughly . The searcher very soon cried out , " othcer , come in—ttey are both men , " and she was re . lieved from further trouble . Ihe gentlemen did not appear that morning to support his charge . Mr . Alderman Mufgrove asked the prisoners why they had assumed this disguise ? Anderson , who has rather a feminine voice ,
said it was altogether a false charge preferred by the gentleman , because , knowing they were not women , they would not let him pull them about . They dressed as females by nay of a joke , to prove that they would dare to walk t > the Angel , at Islington , in that dress . They had been as far as that place , and were returning , without speaking to any one , when the gentleman accosted them . Mr . Alderman Musgrore said , he should be happy to . ee convinced the whole was a joke , but lie was apprehensive that they really intended to lure men to their haunts , under the pretence of being women , for some dreadful purpose . Such gro = s outrages upon the public decency and feeling must be checked in time , and he should remand them till Friday that the police might make a full inquiry into their past lives and habits . They were conveyed to gaol in a cab , amidst the jeers of a crowd .
TUESDAY . . MARLBOROUGH-STREET Brutal Assaolt on an Old Woman . —David Cleary was charged with having brutally kicked Rebecca Martin , an infirm woman upwards of seventy jears of age . The complainant said she was standing in Little Earl-street , Seven Dials , the previous evening , when the prisoner , who was a perfect stranger to her , ctme up and said , (< Well , old woman , what's the matter now ? " She replied that he must know best ; and this answer having given offence to the prifoner , he deliberately kicked her on the lower part of her person . lie was about to repeat his unmanly assault when a soldier , who was passing , came to her assistance .
and protected her . Her cries having attracted the attention of the police , two constables now made their appearance . The prisoner immediately attacked them , nnd it required the united efforts of three or four ofthe force before the prisoner could be overpowered and lodged in the station house , tir . Long said the assault on the aged complainant was most cruel and unmanly in its character , and for this he should inflict the full fine of £ 5 , or two months' imprisonment . It had also been proved that the prisoner had attempted to strike one constable and had actually struck another . F or the latter assault he should send the prisoner to prison for one month without fine .
THAMES-STREET . —Assault . —Daniel M'Fadden , a powerful man , was brought before Mr . Broderip on a charge of assaulting Mr . Arthur Browning , who keeps a coffeehouse at Itatcliff-highway . The complainant whose jaws were titd up , aud who appeared to have sustained a very serious injury , stated that on the evening ofthe 9 th inst ., several panes of glass in the front of his house were wantonly smashed , he went out to see the offender , aud a young man was pointed out to him as the person who hud done the mischief , he asked him for payment , and the man refused to make any compensation , aud swore at him ; a mob collected , who behaved in a very disorder ^ maimer , and the nun who had broken the windows retreated into a house in a narrow alley called Blue Anchor-court , Ratcliff ; he was about to follow him and the prisoner intercepted him and stopped him , and asked
him who he was ; an old woman , who was present , and who knew complainant , said "Its only the tallyman . " Theprisontr looked minutely into complainant ' s fate , and after scanning over his features drew himself up , and struck him a tremendous blow on the face with his clenched fist , and said , " take that for a tallyman . " His mouth was severely cut , and his under lip divided by the blow , which also loosened two or three of his teeth ; he bled profusely , and while staggering under the effects of the blow he received another on the jaw which nearly dislocated it ; the prisoner then ran away ; he remained upon the spot some time , and the prisoner soon afterwards returned in another dress ; he attempted to secure him , in which he was frustrated by several of his companions , and the fellow got away ; he afterwards Lnrnt his name , and th . it he was R colliwhipper , and obtained a warrant against him . The defendant asked Mr . Browning if he coubl swear he was the person who struck him ! asd he replied in the affirmative . The
complainant added that he had been very ill ever since he was struck , and had great difficulty in eating anything ; he was obliged to feed himself with liquids for several days afterwards by means of a spoon . The prisoner said he was not the man who struck the tallyman , and had two witnesses to prove it . Mr . Broderip said , as the case would be one of mistaken identity he should send it to the sessions . Mr . Browning said he was a collector for a linendraper and was called a tallyman ; he wished the case to be disposed of summarily ; he had a witness in attendance who would prove M'Fadden was the person who struck him : he had no time to attend the sessions . Mr . Broderip said , if the defendant had been guilty ofthe assault attributed to him , it was one of too serious a character to be disposed of summarily ; moreover , the defendant stoutly denied he was the person who struck the blows , for these reasons he should send the case to a Jury ; the defendant wj > s then held to bail himself in £ 20 . and two sureties of £ 10 each .

Haines , who was found lying in a most deplorable condition . The cottage is situated in a most solitary place , a long , atid dismal alley leading from the Liverpool Road to Pocock ' s Fields , adjacent to the spot where the late Mr . Templeman was murdered , and at the northern extremity of the road . Every arrangement having been made , the prisoner was brought in , and placed at the foot of tbe bedstead , where he had a clear view of Mrs . Haines , who viewed him with evidenf terror , whilst he seemed to shun her and turn aside . Mr . Green .
wood inquired whether she knew the name of the prisoner ! Mr . Haines ( faintly ) : I believe his name is Wilmot . In answer to further questions , she replied—He forroorly kept this house . On Saturday evening last , between five and six o ' clock , I was alone in the parlour getting my husband's supper ready , when 1 heard a tap at the window . The door was fastened . It was very dark , I went to tbe window , and inquired , " Who is there !" The prisoner replied . "It is me , " I said , "Hallo , master , is it you ; is anybody with you V He said , " No , I am alone . " I opened the door . He entered and placed his back against it . He said , I want a bit of paint if your husband has got a bit to give me , 1 said he has got none , and asked him to fit down . I asked him to have some
tobacco . He took some . There was an iron candlestick on the table with a lighted candle , He smoked about five minutes . He said , you will be too late with your husband ' s supper . Igot up to put the meat in the saucepan . I turned round and was going towards the fireplace when I heard the prisoner ' s footstep behind me . I turned round and he looked very pale . I felt very much frightened when suddenly tho light disappeared , and I felt a tremendous blow on my head . I screamed * 'M \ iTuCT , "antthe struck me with some instrument on the head , which cut me six or seven times . He struck me repeatedly ou the head . I must have received upwards of a dozen blows . I had my bonnet on at the time . He got me into the corner of the room , and beat me on the head ; he caught me by the throat , and I thought he would have killed me .
The prisoner , who seemed quite perturbed and agitated , here turned pale , walksd about , exclaiming , " Oh , dear ! oh , dear ; " at length he seated himself on a trunk in the room , and hid his face in his hat , stooping down—Witness : I struggled with him , and got his head under my arm , and I had strength enough left to drag him to the door , and opened it . I cried' « Murder " as well as I could , when he ran off , leaving me Insensible . —Mr . Greenwood : Did he ever talk to you of money , as if he wished to fish out of you whether you carried money about you ?—Witness : On Friday night he called and be asked how we thought we should pass our Christinas . I told bim my husband had resolved on going into the country to see his father and mother , and it would cost him £ 5 . About a month ago my cousin was robbed . He said he was surprised we had not been robbed . I told him there was no fear of that , as I always carried my money-in my pockets . I occasionally lent the prisoner
money , a sovereign at a time , because we thought he had met with misfortunes . —Mr . Greenwood : Did he say anything while he was beating you !—Witness : He never said a word from the first to the last . My shoulders , my stays , and all my clothes were soaked with blood . My nose bled very much . Mr . Greenwood inquired if the prisoner wished to ask the witness any questions ?—Prisoner ( tremulously ) : Ask her if she said anything to mc about any man that used to call here . —Witness : I never did say anything about any man . —Prisoner ; Ask her if she never said she would give information to the parish officers that I deserted my wife , and cause my arrest?—Witness : I never did anything ofthe kind . — Prisoner : Ask bar if she did not seize me by the throat . —Mr . Mould ( to Mrs . Haines ) : I suppose you considered it a death struggle to save your life ?—Mrs . Haines : I did so . She added , the first blow he struck her was on the front ofthe head . She here became very weak and
her examination was closed . The prisoner was then conveyed to the House of Correction , under the commitment of the magistrate . The prisoner is said to have been formerly a lieutenant in the navy ; he is about five feet four inches high , thin , pale , and fifty five years of age . Singular Case of threatened Suicide . — . William Jones , a man about thirty years of » ge , was charged on his own confession with having stolen a half-pint measure atthe Elephant and Castle , atNewington , and also with having threatened to destroy himself . Policeman 186 M , stated , that while on duty in High Street the preceding afternoon , the prisoner walked up to him and said that he had stolen a half . pint measure out of the tap-room of the Elephant and Castle , at the same time , producing the article , and added that he committed the offence for tho purpose of being sent to gaol . He then insisted on being
taken into custody , and threatened that if he was not taken to the station-house , he should certainly lay violent hands upon himself , and that he had prepared to do the deed with a knife which he had sharpened for the purpose , if he was not apprehended for the former offence . The prisoner appeared to be perfectly sober at the station house he complained of being in the depth of distress , in fact , starving , and he took the measure with the view of procuring the shelter of a gaol in preference to wandering about the streets , and sleeping in the miserable receptacles for the casual poor iu the workhouses . In answer to Mr . Seeker , the prisoner said he was brought up to no profession or trade , that he was a
native of Bristol , in which city his father , who was well known and respected , resided up to the period of his decease . He came up from Bristol in the expectation of finding something to do in London , but having completely failed in all his applications , he was reduced to such a state of distress , that he adopted the alternative of committing a felony , in order to be sent to prison . He admitted that he meditated self-destruction if he bad not succeeded in being taken into custody . He was adjudged to find bail , himself in 401 ., and two sureties of 201 . each for three months , for threatening to commit suicide . Prisoner expressed his gratitude , saying that he would have shelter , and not be compelled to apply for admission
into the workhouse
WEDNESDAY . MARYLEBONE . — John Graves was charged with having stolen nearly £ 40 , the property of Mr . James Hawkins , a grocer , residing at Burfield , Berks . The prosecutor stated that , on Tuesday , he catnc up from Peterborough by railway , and reached the Eustonsquare terminus about noon . He was a perfect stranger to London , and on making his egress through the gsjtes he saw the prisone r , of whom he inquired the way to the Faddington station . He ( prisoner ) volunteered to show him , end they proceeded on together ; they at length went into a public-house , and he paid prisoner Is , Gd . for his trouble , and they had soraetVVng to drink , While in the room , prosecutor fell asleep , and on awaking , he found that his money-bag , which contained 38 sovereigns , a half-sovereign , and sil-er , had been stolen from the side pocket of his coat ; the prisoner had also left the place . Prosecutor added , that when paying for the drink , he took some silver
from the bag , and the prisoner had therefore an opportunity of noticing that there was a great deal of money in it . Curtis , 43 S , stated that , from information which he had received relative to tho robbery , he felt satisfied that the prisoner was the man who was " wanted , " aud on going to his lodgings , found him in bed ; witness took him into custody , and while he was dressing , he found between the bed and the sacUing a bag in which were 33 sovereigns and a half . The amount in question was produced by the officer , and prosecutor , [ onlookingatthe bag , said it was not his ; he , however , was quite certain that the prisoner was the man by whom he was plundered . It was further shown that the prisoner had , upon a former occasion , been convicted , and that he had been also charged at this Court with robbing a sailor , under circumstance nearly similar to the preceding . The prisoner's answer to the charge was , that the money was all his own , and that he had received it from a friend who wished him to pay for a quantity of
potatoos . His friend was now in the country , and he was therefore unable to produce him at present . His only reason for leaving the house , which was near the Paddington station , wa « , that he was fearful , if be stayed any longer , he should have been unable to have walked home , as prosecutor seemed to care not a pin as to what he exp . nded . The prisoner was remanded till Saturday .

Deacon and Co ., White Horse , Cripplegata , and who , as carriers , have extensive warehouses at the Caniden-town station of the London and North-Western Railway Company , was placed at the bar before Mr .

The prisoner , who was a night cltrk , was , at 7 o ' clock in the morning of the 12 th instant , met in the Hanipstead-road , at which lime he was coming in the direction from the station , and had with him a brown paper parcel ; information was gi ? en to the foreman , and on the prisoniir being spoken to he denied having carried away any parcel at all . It was at length decided that lie should be given into custody , and he was accordingly conveyed to the police station ; his apartments in
Hartland-terrace , Kentish-towu , were subs quently searched , and in them were found two handsome shawls of Norwich manufacture , and also a new hat . The articles alluded to were now produced , as were also six expensive half shawls . The latter were picked up shortly after the prisoner was taken in charge , and were lying wrapped up in paper in the path along which he ( prisoner ) was taken while in custody , and the supposition , therefore , was that he had dropped the said parcel , which at the period in question he had in his possession . The property was identified as having been sent from various houses in the city to customers in different parts of the country , and it was stated that some persons to whom the goods were consigned had missed numerous articles from the packages . The prisoner was committed for trial on three distinct charges of robbery .

He had , therefore , brought her before his worship

TIIAMES . STREET . Excessive Distress . —On Thursday , James Clark Lee , a sworn broker and appraiser , lodging at the Blue Anchor , Stepney , appeared before Mr . Ballantine to answer a charge of having been guilty of an irregularity and excess in making a distress . Mr . Pelharo appeared for the prosecution and stated the case , which appeared to bo a most aggravated one , and illustrated in a forcible manner the mal practices of brokers . The defendant was employed in May last to levy a distress on the goods and chattels of the complamant , Frederick Willemette , a fishmonger , . and tobacconist , of No . 145 , Hlgh-street , Poplar , for arrears of rent , amounting to £ 3 lis . 6 d ., due to Mr . Dent , and he seized property which cost the tenant £ 14 I 8 s . two years' previous . An inventory wa * made , and the defendant did not
include in it a jug , bason , and cano basket , which he ought to have done . The goods were removed to the sale room of Mr . Johnson , the auctioner , in the Mile-endroad , the day after the levy , for the purpose , as alleged by the defendant , of impounding them , but the defendant sold a great portion of them immediately afterwards to Johnson for £ 5 17 s . Gd . and removed * he remainder , including four chairs and a quantity of chimney ornaments and crockery to some other place . There was no appraisement or condemnation ofthe goods , nor was any constable called in , or any of the forms of law observed . The complainant never received any account relating to the disposal of the goods or the amount they produced . He applied repeatedly to the defendant on the subject , and he always put him off with the excuse that his goods remained on the premises of Mr . Johnson , who had not been selling by auction since they were seized , and that directly hehad a sale , jthe goods would b » submitted to public competition .
After some further investigation , Mr . Ballantyne said the goods had not been legally disposed of , and there was much bad conduct and irregularity in the management of the distress . A portion of the furniture and effects of the complainant had been sold for £ 5 17 s . Cd ., and he was informed the value of them was from £ 9 to £ 10 . He would take the smaller sum , £ 9 , and he ordered the difference between that sum and £ 3 lis . Cd . to be paid to the complainant , and the goods not disposed of to be returned to him The defendant : J have not got them . —Mr . Ballantine : I do not care about that . I shall make my order , and you shall take the consequence of not complying with it . —The decision was received with a murmur of applause from a crowded Court .
BOW STREET . Chabge of MiNSLAroHTEB . —On Friday , a young man , named Daniel Davies , a carman , was charged with causing the death . of a poor man , named Martin Caulfield , by running over him with his cart . Inspector Lund , A division , stated that about one o ' clock he was standing at the corner of Scotland yard , when he saw the defendant drive a gingerbeer cart from the direction of Charing Cross , and when opposite the Duke of Clarence public-house , the deceased , in attempting to cross the street , was struck b y the shaft in the temple , and felled to
the ground . Witness had him immediately removed to the shop of Mr . Jones , the surgeon , who advised him to be conveyed to Charing Cross Hospital , but he died in the course of a few minutes . In answer to the charge , the defendant said that be made every effort to pull up when he got sight of tbe deceased , and he could not believe that the shaft of the catt had touched him , and the witnesses could testify that he rendered every assistance in bis power , Mr . Jardine ordered him to put in bail , himself in £ 100 , and two sureties in £ 50 each , to answer the charge on Tuesday next . The required sureties were in attendance , aud the defendant was discharged .
Murderous Outrage Andiattempted Robbery ...
MURDEROUS OUTRAGE ANDIATTEMPTED ROBBERY 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 the residence of W . Miller , Esq ., surveyor and land steward . Mr . Miller ' s house is atsome distance from 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 servant , a smart knock was given at the front door , on which Mr . Miller observed , " It is some gentlemen from Preston , who wishes to see me on business . " The door was opened by 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 " Thieves , thieves , " making at the same time a rush towa 2 . 8 the lawn 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 followed 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 want your money . " Mr . Miller told them he had none ; upon which the men said , "We know you have . " Mr . Miller again denied having any , and called (• the servant , whom the robbers had forced into an
adjoining room , to ring the bell . The bell alluded to is as an alarm bell , situated at the top of the house , from which there is a conimuciation with the room into which , fortunately , the robbers had forced the attendant . At her master ' s call , the servant commenced ringing the bell , on which the men looked one at another in amazement , and then ran away . From the cool determination evinced by the whole gang , there can be little doubt that the lives of the whole family would have been sacrificed , had it not been for the escape of Miss Miller nnd the ringing of the alarm bell . It is said that Mr . Miller had a few days previously , been receiving certain rents , and the presumption is , that the delinquents were aware of that fact .
Metropolitanimprovembnts.—Thecommissione...
MetropolitanImprovembnts . —TheCommissioners of Woods and Forests have given notice that application will be made in the next session of Parliament for powers to make new streets in various parts of the metropolis , and also for the construction of a new bridge overthe Thames , in lieu ofthe present Westminster bridge . Commencing with the westward part of the metropolis , it is the intention of the Commissioners to construct a new street from the south * east end of Charing-cross | to the north bank ofthe Thames , near the end of Whitehall-place . From this point the new bridge is to be erected , and a new street , formed to the York-road , near Sutton-street , and continued to the Westminster bridge road , into which place it will come out nearly opposite
Masonstreet . The next improvement is . the construction of a new street from the west end of Long-acre to King , street , Covcnt-garden , coming out into that street opposite Bedford-street ; it will cross Rose and Hart street , and destroy a great many small courts and alleys . The next improvement is forming a street from Westminster Abbey to James-street , Buckingham-gate , by the destruction of those dreadful dens of infamy lying between Tothill and Orchard-streets . Going to the east end of London , the most important is the formation of a carriage way from Great Tower Hill to Little Tower Hill , by the removal of Postern row ; at the present time a person wishing to get from the former to the docks having to make a circuit of somewhat like a mile and a half : The next improvement in that part of the town has reference to the approaches to Victoria Park . On the south side of the Park a new street is to be formed from
the East India Docks , at Poplar , to Bow Common , and from thence passing by the East London Oemetry , across the Mile End-road , and form a junction with Grove-road , which is to be widened to tlie . south entrance ofthe Park . From the western entrance a new street will be formed across Bishop Bonner ' s Fields and Old Ford-road to the Bethnal Green and Cambridge Heath Roads , near the new church at Bethnal Green . Another road is to be formed from the Hackney-road , near the junction with the Cambridge Heath-road , to the Bishop ' s-road , and , crossing the Regent ' s Canal , communicate with a road across the west corner of the Park to Grovestreetlane , Hackney . [ All this is very well in its way , but what is to become of the inhabitants ot the courts and alleys it is intended to deprive of dwellings ? Have the Commissioners made any provision for them ? 1

DUMFRIES . Atthe ordinary weekly meeting of the Dumfries and Maxweltown Working Men ' s Association , on Monday evening last , after the settlement of tho other matters of less importance , ; tne committee to whom had been intrusted the arrangements for a meeting to launch the National Petition delivered their report . A committee was also named to arrange the preliminaries of the annual soiree of the Association . A member called the attention of the meeting to an announcement in the Star intimating Mr , O'Connor ' s intention to visit Glasgow on the rising of the forthcoming Conference . The settlement of both questions was delayed until it should be ascertained whether or not " the lion of freedom" could
make it convenient to look in upon us on his way to or from the western metropolis . Should the appli . cation which has been made to Mr . O'Connor , be successful , th « soiree which it was intended to confine as usual to members and friends will he conducted on a scale that will embrace the general public ; and from Mr . O'Connor ' s popularity in this district , the state of public feeling , and other circumstances , the only difficulty , and that not altogether an unsurmountable one , will be to get a place larj : e enough to contain the guests . We have been in the habit of singing the Marselloise at these gatherings , with ,
hwever , a translation of the French words . To avoid the awkwardness of this , it was suggested that the secretary of the soiree committee should , in name of the association , represent to Mr . Ernest Jones , the desirableness of a gathering song which British democrats might connect with the hallowed and soulinspiring music of the Marseilles Hymn , and ask the assistance of our Chartist bard for that end . This has also been done . Among other improve * ments a set of maps has been ordered , which when mounted and varnished , secundum artem , will be hung up in the reading rooms of the association , and prove alike ornamental and useful .
