M o 5 DAT—lEEUi » --The r * tatoei having become ? he premier monarch of the earth , by . right , divine , cMnmands ourfirst consideration . ThRDvAUnEuen Xmt J & it the high . Protestant print , and what is caM the whole of the Liberalpress , as well asmany of the Conservative pop-guns , are at issue relative to the state of His MsjEsrr * s health . ; the Mail declaring that there is a good crop , while all the other TjjvaU assert that it is all but gone—while doctors Jiffer patients die , and especially under the care oi the Irish Royal Potatoe Commissioners , whoin their
, ascription , sent to his Excellency this day , recommend the following modes of preservation : — 1 . Washing the potatoes . ' 2 . Grating them down to pulp . 3 . Washing the pulpy mass . 4 . Stirring in the oatmeaL 5 . Baking the cakes . Such is the process through which the medicine is to ° o , and the . following is the simple machinery recommended for performing the several operations . 1 . A hollow revolving cylinder to wash the
pota-2 . A grating machine for reducing them to pulp . 3 . Barrels or vats for washing the pulp . 4 A floor for mixing pulp and oatmeaL 5 . A . heated flow ot oven for baking the cakes . Here is a process , and here is machinery recom mended to a people whose only furniture , as the Times Commissioner informs us , and as we can vouch for , is an iron pot to soften the potatoes , a basket to strain them in , and the door placed upon two other baskets to eat thereupon . What a mockery . The subject is too seriousto jest upon , or we should , recommend the following prescription , written in the usual professional phraseology , in opposition to the prescription of the quacks . 1 . Cum vid-bread stuff ,
2 . Sifamesto , 3 . Fac usque ad ness , 4 . Propteipsum , 5 . ExLexDiv . "Which being translated into medical English trill read thus : — 1 . "Whenyousw bread staff , 2 . If you are hungry , 3 . Make as much as you wait of it , 4 . Tour own property , 5 . According to divine law . Divide in partes tees , capiat unam ter in die , cum lacte novo—which translates thus : —Divide itin three parts , take one three times each day with new milk ; jn other words , we prescribe plenty of bread stuff with new milk , in opposition to the rotten potatoe starch ofthe ministerial quacks .
Molly Maguibe . —TVe are informed , by the Fer managh Jieporter , that Molly Magnire islikely to get the death-blow from theexertionsof Mr . Cullen , Mr . Henderson , and Mr . Wray , aided by tie untiring assistance of Mr . Piunkett , stipendiary magistrate . "We did not know that Ireland contained four men rich enough to fee the whole of the Irish people , or powerful enough to . do them justice ; for itisonly bv one or both of these means that Molly Maguireism can be put down . True , she may change her name and her sex—she has been a "White Boy , a Peep- ' oday Boy , a "Whitefbet , a Blackfoot , a Terry Alt , and a Croppy ; " hut what ' s in a name ? " Molly ' s occupation never will be gone as long as slavery exists in Ireland . TheTbtbdte . — - "We have not yet seen an account of this disgraceful collection which commenced yes terday .
The Obaxgemen . — These blood-thirsty ruffians have got ashamed ef their name , and have enrolled themselves as The Protestant Alliance Murderers . Exglaxd . —The Potatoe . —The potatoe disease is described as fearfully upon the increase all over the country , while our rulers are occupied in canvassing the merits of Lord EUenborough , and the title of England to the Oregon territory . When shall we get rid of such nincompoops . Answer . — -The veiy moment the people will It . KiiiisG a Poor Mas so Murder . —Anaccountof a poormannamedSlatter , who was murdered at Chipping Norton , byapoliceinspectornamedNott , will be f-jundin another part ofour paper . and the verdict ofthe cDronef s lur y will te read by every man with horror
and disgust . The circumstances are Briefly these , a gentleman named Hall had missed some chaff , poor Skitter was his neighbour , and , as well as Hall , had a horse . Hall , of course , suspected his poor neighbour of robhinghim , andsentfor Nott to seize thepoor man ' s chaff . Hall said he could sweak to the chaw being stoles rnoM him . and straightway thcuFE preserver , "without further warrant , proceeds to steal slatter ' s chatt ; whereon Slatter says , " That never belonged to Mr . Hall , that chaff is mixe , you shan't have it ;" but the inspector , not being able to discover the posr man ' s risht to chaff , replied , He should have it , " and added these words , "Pllsoox settle top , " and , as if by magic , as one of the witnesses stated , he dreto from Ids right-hand pocket a tldek stick- and
struck deceased a violent blow with it on the side of la ' t hud , which caused Mm to stagger ; and deceased said , " YOU HAVE D 3 XE A FIXE THING SOW FOR SIE . " Nott was about repeating the blow , when Mr . Hall pulled his arm back , and said , " For GoeVs sdkedon ' t strike Jiim any more , therearcp lenty of people liere to assist von if it is beqeiued . The poor fellow was then haud-euued and conveyed to the "lock-up , " where / is murderer found him dead in the morning ; and , will . it Ibe believed , that a rascally middle-class jnrv nave returned a verdict of manslaughter !!! Jf Slatter had killed Nott after he had struck him .
which , bylaw , he would have been fully justified in doing , these worthies would havereturned a verdict of wilful murder against Slatter . ... . , Pauuamest . — Itappearsthatthe collective wisdom is to be called together early in January for the dispatch of business . Query . May we not naturally infer that there ' s something in the wind ? Trade . —From , all parts of tho country we continue to receive the most frightful accounts of decaying trade . Mils working half time , masters looking blue , operatives looking hungry , prices lookingdown , and provisions look up . So we would advise our rulers to look out
. Coukt Cbcciab .- The Queen and Prmee Albert dept -well last night ( Saturday ) , and attended divine service at St . George ' s ChapelRc-yal , on Sunday The Bishop of Londonpreacued the sermon fiom the following test : — "They that die by the sword are better than they that perish of hunger , for their bodies pine away , stricken through , for want of the fruits of the field . " We understand that the venerable divine was frequently interrupted by suppressed but andible mutterings of "On ! the potatoes ! " The Royal children took their accustomed airinss . Prince Albert and the young Cobourgs , athout
tended by three lackeys , were engaged throug ihe remainder ofthe day , after divine service , in investigating the real condition of the potatoe crop in the Royal Conservatory , were many experiments are now being made to secure the last of the Murphy ' s . _ ,. The Stock Exchange . —We have no alteration to note since our last , beyond the further elongation of the faces ofthe banditti , and the continuous desertion of several railway boards , by thecalVmeat-boys , the cads , and the swell mob . The settling day went off comparatively easy , and the settlement of the ottfc 4 io » has been postponed for a short period , but
«* Come it will for a'that . " The Ban and the Pbess . — A long controversy about dignity has existed between the bar and the press as to whether it is nnhandsome , unprofessional , and ungentlemanlike , for barristers to report for the Dress . At length it has been all but unanimously decided , at a meeting held at the Attorney-General s house , that it is neither unhandsome , unprofessional , or ungentlemanlike . We should like to know what is unhandsome or ungentlemanlike that is considered unprofessional by the bar . Foreign . -- whole of the French press appear to have aot our first edition of the Star as , without exception , they echo oursentiments with reference to the Windsor election . They are one and all ol > m opinion , thatitisthe roost deadly blowaimed at what is called Constitational Government . Wc wish u was
Louis PHn . rrPE .-The health of this monarch is fast sinking under a disease brought on by broken pledges and violated faith . God be with him . We wish he was in heaven with all the rest of the kings . Surelv thev won't be angry with us for that ? The Papal STATES .-Under this head we find the following extract of a letter , dated Ancona , . Sept . lSth- — " The Church festivals has just terminated in coWemoration of the pretended miracle performed by a painting ofthe Madona , in the cathedral church in this town , in opening and moving its eyes . I send vou for publication , if you think proper , with the cardinal ' s pastoral invitation to this diocese on this wonderful miracle . " Now , we beg to say that this is no miracle at all , and if the astonished cardinal will honour us with a visit , and allow us to stand behind a screen , we will shovi him a great big wax doll that opens and shuts her eyes , that opens
her mouth and shows her teeth , that blows her nose , and makes hooky by putting her thumb to her smeller , but then we must be behind the screes . In making this and such comments upon such irreverent humbugging nonsense , we beg our Koman Catholic readers , for whose religious feelings we have tke highest respect , and who have been frequently aazrv with us without the slightest cause , to under-Btastlthat Jesuitism is no more Catholicism than Oraageism is Protestantism , or Whiggery Reform , andstill farther , that tfte really devout Catholics in the Papal States have baen the first to wage deadly war against this desecration itf their religion , which has withstood so many blows from Protestant
oppression . m TWsdat —Ireland . —The F ' otatoe . — The ae-SSatKKVwSs ^ rtfs & w ^ swy ! 2 * Wefcivc not as yet receive any account ° / S ' sSS day with the-HAW » . IJwgg , BPonftewMethismay be , despondency andhopelest

ness appear to be increasing the terror of the lancV lordsand ' theGovernment .. '/ ' " . Daniel / O'CosskLt , — The letter of the Times ' ( Commissioner under this day ' s date , announces a fact heretofore unknown to him , but mot new to usnamely , that Daniel 0 'Council is a middle" man to a very large extent , holding property '" under corporations and individuals , aud . haa the poorest and most oppressed tenantry in the kingdom . , _ The Union , - of course , being the cause of their ! poverty /" and Dan only having the bight to the retail profit , being exonerated from the nuires of a landlord . Alas , poor country , Almost afraid to know itself .
England . —All accounts appear to agree in the damage sustained by the potatoe . The Gloucester Journal states , that although railways . absorb public attention just now , that nevertheless the loss of the food of millions of . people will presently engross the more serious consideration of all . From Nottingham and its neighbourhood , as well as from all parts of the kingdom , the daily papers continue to publish the most frightful authenticated accounts relative to the loss of the potatoe crop . Faciokv Inspectors' Justice . —We give the following version of the manner in which factory infants commit suicide . — "An inquest was held on Monday before Mr . Chapman , upon the body of Ellis Reed , aged thirteen years , who was unfortunately killed on Saturdaylast , in consequence of being crushed between the carriage and the headstock frame of a hand-mule in Mr . Jahn Mankind ' s
mill , Chorlton-upon-Medlock . On Tuesday an investigation into the circumstances was made by Mr . Leonard Horner , Mr . William Graham , and Dr . John G . Harrison , in virtue of their appointments under the Factories' Regulation Act ; and after a very searching examination ofthe parties working in the room , it was quite evident that no blame could be charged against any person connected with the establishment , or that it arose from any unprotected machinery , but from carelessness in the , boy . himself , who , in the eagerness of play with another boy , unwarily placed himself within reach of machinery . "What a lie ! a factory boy playing while machinery was at work ? What a farce ? to expect condemnatory evidence from poor creatures , who , if it made against the master , would be every one bagged , and what a joke to pay Inspectors for whitewashing tyrants .
Thieves Look Out . —It is definitively determined to hold & winter assises and gaol delivery lor the counties of York and Lancaster . The Grand Duke Constaxtixe of Russia . —We learn that this gentleman , who is the second son of the great tyrant of " all the Russias , " arrived at Plymouth with two ships , ( a line of battle ship of ii guns , and a Russian corvette ) at daylight on Saturday morning , and after all'the other rubbish about distinguished visitor , royal salutes , andservileattendant 8 , we read the following disgusting announcement : — "Everv preparation has been made by the heads of the public departments ^ here for giving the Grand Duke a suitable reception on his landing ; and an elegant suite of apartments in the east wing of
Elliott's Royal Hotel have been prepared for his accommodation . His Imperial Highness will probably remain in Plymouth " ten days or a fortnight . " A suitable reception , indeed ! Query : What would be a suitable reception for such visitors ? and who is to pay for it ? John Bull will soon find out . Look on that picture and on this . It is now ah incontrovertible fact that numbers of the Irish people must die of starvation if not sustained through the present visitation by the charity of humane and considerate individuals . We must have some better regulation about this thing called "food . " It will not do for
monarchs and idlers to be feasting while their foya / subjects are all starving . Tbade . —Again we have to notice the further depression in all trades except humbug , which goes on prosperously , especially in Ireland , where there is great demand for it . TheStock Exchange . —Another frightfully gloomy day . All attempts to prop the system having failed , the thing is tumbling to pieces as fast as even we could wish . Court Circular . —The following from the Times of this morning is so much more ludicrous than any thing we could possibly write , that we give it precisely as we find it in that journal : —
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent arrived at the' Castle to hreakfast with the Queen and the Royal party previous to the departure of the Duke Ferdinand and Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg for Lisbon . . At twenty-five minutes past ten o'clock , his Royal Highness the Duke Ferdinand and his Serene Highness Frince ' Leopold of Saxe Coburg left the Castle , accompanied by Prince Augustus aud Baron Wangeaheim , for Slough , en route per Great Western Railway to Exeter , where the illustrious party will rest for the night , and proceed tomorrow to Plymouth , at which place they will embark for Lisbon , attended by Baron de Freiberg and Lieutenant Colonel Wylde to the place of embarkation . The Queen , Prince Albert , the Duchess of Kent , and the Princess Augusta accompanied their illustrious relatives to the door of the principal entrance . There were also present Lord Byron , Colonel Sir George Couper , Colouel Bowles , and Sir Frederick Stovin .
Prince Augustus of Saxe Coburg , attended by Baron de Waugenheitn , returned from Slough , after the departure of his Royal parent , to the Castle . The Frince of Wales , Frince Alfred , and the Princess Royal were taking airings this morning . The Princess Augusta , attended by Madame Angelet , walked for some time this morning . Their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert and Prince Augustus of Saxe Coburg took equestrian exercise this afternoon , attended by Lord Charles Wellesley . Who will say that Royalty is extravagantly paid when they hear of such a multiplicity of arduous labour being performed in so short a time . We rejoice that the Byron groom , referred to abpve , is not the son of liberty ' s immortal bard .
Wednesday . —Ireland . —We have this day been favoured with some more fun from Conciliation Hall . At last Monday ' s meeting some of the reporters made a mistake of stating that a Mr . Decoy took the chair , whereas it was a Mr . M'Coy . Mr . O'Connell commenced by opening a thundering tire upon us for the publication of the document entitled '' Land lords and Tenants—Tyrants turning their Tenants out , " and stated that as he did not wish to extend its circulation , he could only give it to Jfr . Hodges , the Government reporter ; and he also takes praise for sending it by Col . Arkins to the castle ; and Government having tailed in the performance of its duly , the Liberator asserted that the Association should turn spies themselves . Mr . Brodhick , as a means of relief , suggested that the sum of £ 600 , 000 may be raised by compelling the Parliamentary Railway Committees to hold their sittings in London . Mr . O'Coskell considered that Repeal would be
better Mr . O'Neal moved that a committee of the Association should sit from day to day to consider the state of the potatoe crop , and compared the landlord who , under the circustances , would demand full rent , to Shylock , who would have his pound of flesh . The Liberator secsnded the motion , and said that Sir Robert Peel was chargeable with every death that occurred from starvation , and declared that Galway , after all , was no part of Ireland , as Dean Kirwan had accepted the presidency of one of the new colleges .
Mr . O'Neal , as a Galway man , threw up his cap for the West , and declared that Dan ' s lo / ic was no logic at all , to which the Liberator assented . Mr . W . S . O'Biuen supported the claims of Mr . M'Carthy to the representation of Cork ; and , in denouncing Ribandisva and the several murders committed in Ireland , the honourable gentleman was led into the following dangerous admission : — " In the case of Mr . M'Cloud , and many other instances , there appeared to be no adequate cause . " Now , we are entitled to ask Mr . O'Brien what lie considers an adequate cause for committing murder ? The Liberator concluded by giving notice that the draft of a bill for the better enabling her Majesty to summon her Parliament in Ireland would be ready
on Monday next . Mona—sir—dhoul IDan . lour sowl to blazes ; but your ' e the broth of a boy . Yerra vou bullaboo of a bosthoon . Hadn t you a bundle ' of your tongue inside of your jaw when you were doing the flats . Oh , musha , musha , to enable her Majestv to summon her Parliament in Ireland . Be Gorra , but vou makes us hurst our shirt laughing . But wasn't it the Irish people , and not her Majesty , that was to enable the Parliament to sit in Ireland f The Rest for the week was announced to be £ 175 . The Tribute Day . —The plunder goes bravely on , hut one of the patriotic collectors walked off with the " slack" of some tin , and upon being brought to Justice he declared that he was only following a good practiceby ( bagging ) begging on his own account and KefencVwaTheld by the College-street justices to be a good one although the precedent may be a
TirPoTioE CROP . -The accounts from all parts of Ireland appearto be more g ^^; * r a » ^^|™ jf the Liberator ' s tributes expected to reach £ 28 , 000 . Who wouldn't be an Irish victim 1 Stock Exchxvoe-The tout goes on amangs i the rats all the shares are tumbling , and . all hope of meeting dear provisions by _ increased railway ' wages are vanishing . The landlords are peppering-the patriots are plundering-and the Government , as umpires , are coolly looking on . „ Foreign .-The Great Britain and the Hiberaia steamers have brought us the latest American news , ations
and from it we are confirmed in the anticip entertained from the inaugural speech of Mr . Polk thePresident . It appears that all the influence of the powerful , in his own cabinet , as well as the intrigues of Britain and her gold , have failed to . change the President ' s mind upon the Oregon question , and that a shindy with Yankee is inevitable . We hate war , but if it is a means of giving us our Charter and of restoring our exiles we will welcome it . It will be a funny thing if a Yankee schooner should wait upon our friends , Frost , Williams , Jones , and Ellis , and offer them a residence amongst the free : we further learn that , just as we predicted , the announcement ef famine iu England had caused a considerable rise in

Ekglahd , —There is not a word of news at home , with the exception of some . clerical delinquencies , fires , suicides , seductions , abductions , and' all the concomitanta of an unnatural state of society , which we chronicle in their proper places . ' - ! : . . Tiib Stock Exchakge . —This has been tho worst day the banditti . has . ; had ; for along time—like the potatoe disease thegood lines are taking the infection trom the rotten ones , and all are upon the downward "slidingscale .

voyKf Circular . —The Royal Family are pretty much the same to-day as they were yesterday , with the exception of the few thousands additional pay . On Tuesday ,, which we forgot to state , the band of the second Life Guards played while her Majesty and her friends were at dinner . Her Majesty ' s private band afterwards played while they were drinking their wine . Is not that good news ? . ¦• - -. . ; . The Grand Duke Cosstahiisb islocated at Elliott ' s . Royal Hotel , Plymouth , and we are told that " a guard of protection from the 14 th Regiment is stationed at the Eastern entrance of the hotel , and a detachment of the Plymouth police force is also in attendance . *? What does , this guard of protection mean ? In such cases we generally read of a guard of honour 2 Does the young Russian require protection ? and are there any Poles or their wives iii Plymouth ? .
Thursday , Ireland . —The Potatoe Crop . —A committee of patriots is sitting at the Mansion-House in Dublin every day . The Liberator was left in the chair , by our lastreport—a' begging for the poor on Tuesday , and begging from the poor on Sunday . Seventy-two letters were received from all parts ofthe country , principally from clergymen , giving the most alarming accounts of the potatoe crop . ..- ; Irish-Logic . —We give the following specimen of Irish logic from the speech of a Mr . Prentice , land steward to Lord Culloden , delivered at one of the potvaliant meetings of the Irish landlords : — " A great and important duty ( said Mr , Prentice ) devolves upon us . all , and I trust , with God ' s blessing , we shall be able to perform it in our respective stations like men and Christians . I do not by any means apprehend a scarcity of provisions ; we have not had , in my experience of twenty-five years , a finer oat crop , and we have plenty of food for all who are able to pay for it , and also seme to spare : but I do
confess I feel some alarm tor a large portion of our population whose earnings will not be sufficient to purchase abetter description of food than that to which they havo been so long accustomed , and the general failure of which will place them in peculiar difficulties—I mean the agricultural labourer , to whom we all owe so much , and whose sufferings we are bound now to alleviate . The man who has a little farm , and is able to keep his cow and pig , can , from the high price of every article of produce , surmount his difficulties ; but the poor labourer , who has nothing to depend on but the produce of his pot to a garden and conacre for the support of himself and his family , is placed in a deplorable condition , and requires to be cheered and supported by us in the time of his severe trial . " Well done Prentice . So , with God ' s blessing , you'll act like a Christian , and , like one of Job ' s comforters , you tell us that we have plenty of food for all who are able to pat for it .
Ihe Government Scheme for Bribing the Catholic Pbiests . —By one of the most unaccountable pieces of magic ever heard of , Dr . Kirwan , the Roman Catholic clergyman who has accepted the presidency of one of the " Godless" colleges—godless , because it will instruct the people , has become friendly to the hill , although we learn that before his appointment he was its greatest opponent , and the Times tells us that no doubt hesawsH ^ iM ' enteaitse / orjfo change . No doubt he did ; and the people will see it yet ; but then if it contaminates the best , whatchance is there for the doubtfid . The fact-is this , that Daniel O'Connell sanctions every kind of juggleryno matter who the performers are , that he may the more easily fleece the natives .
England . —We had a peep into the lunatic asvlum , alias the Stock Exchange , to-day , and the inmates have really gone mad . Consols down . Securities going and all up , and all in consequence of the one little cloudy spot over the Oregon . What a nation we are , when the chances of what Mr . Polk in Washington is thinking about , regulates the price of our gold , the value ot" every one of our commodities , and the rate of wages , and makes us all quake in our breeches . There is no international feeling , for we venture to sav that the Republicans are not troubling their heads with what our Legitimatists are doing . A foreigner visited this country some time since , when a friend undertook to show him the lions of London ; amongst other places , the stranger expressed an
anxious desire to see the lunatic asylum , and his friend being a bit of a wag , took him to the door of the Exchange at business hours , when the wild beasts were bellowing out what they had to sell like thunder . There , said ^ he , showing him the interior—there ' s the "lunatic asylum . " By G— , exclaimed the foreigner , they ! re all loose ; and away he scampered as fast as he could peg . Foreign .- —Not a word is heard in any quarter but Oregon ; as war now appears inevitable , and while we are writing , her Majesty ' s Ministers , our sapient rulers , are putting their heads together to discover how they can best avert the danger . We'll tellthem ; let them give us the Land and the Charter , then we shan ' t much care who possesses the wilderness
abroad , or the " cows afar off with long horns . " Russia . —The infernal devil , " old nick , " whose son wc are feasting at Plymouth , as it will be seen by our report , notsatisfied with the blood of men , has begun to slake his royal thirst with the blood of innocent women , having first consigned them to the tender mercies of his lewd soldiers who ravish them . Englishmen ! just think of a beast , a monster , adevil , a brute , a murderer , sending poor nuns out of their simple habitation , handing them over to his soldiers to be ravished , working them naked in gangs at the heaviest man's labour , flogging them to death , and making thein dig their own craves , and burying them alive , and think of the English people feasting his son . But , thank God , he requires a protective guard and a posse of blues to look alter him . Wihdsor Election . — The Government , the court , the Life Guards , and the young gentlemen of Eton , have bcconio so highly elated with their recent
triumph over the constitution , that they have actually removed the only obstacle in their way to such another triumph . Mr . Neville , one of the members , has been bought off with a place of £ 1 , 200 a-year ; so hurrah for the broom-sticks and black thorns : —But it would be a queer thing , if , in the next fun we were seen with a V spade tree , " or side of a ladder clearing the streets of the Life Guards , the young gentlemen of Eton , and Mr . Magistrate Blunt . We'll undertake to clear the streets of Windsor , barring powder , of soldiers , and all with one hundred paddies with a '• bit of blackthorn" a-piece . We understand that the butcher of Long-lane , Berniondscy , who was Molesworth ' s right hand man at the Southwark election , occupied the same situation under Col . Reid at the last Windsor election , and we learn that he actually dined at the mess of her Majesty ' s Life Guards . We thought there must have boen a butcher in tlie way .
Friday . — Ireland . — -The Potatoe Crop . — On Wednesday , the committee sitting at the Mansion House , Dublin , adopted a series of resolutions to the effect that the potatoe disease is still progressing to a very alarming extent , that more than one-third of the crop has been already destroyed , whilst no human means can be relied upon to save the remainder , that famine and disease are impending , and are sure to afflict the country , unless timely relief and precautions he adopted—that the conduct of the Government in delaying the meeting of Parliament at such a time is deserving of the severest reprehension , as their inactivity and apathy have perilled thelives of hundreds of thousands , and that an address be presented to the Queen , praying her Majesty to direct that prompt and effectual measures should be taken for the safety ofthe Irish people . The letters received this day ( Wednesday ) in Dublin give most deplorable accounts of the progress ofthe disease .
The Irish Landlords , even in the present unhappy state of things , cannot refrain from their acts of infernal tyranny ; a Mr . Tuthill , the owner of land near Nenagh , is " evicting" his tenants for non-payment of rent . One fact highly honourable to the bailiffs employed in this deserves to be mentioned ; they refused to level the dwellings , and , to a man , turned out against the jobeven though they were offered 10 s . per day . The peasantry cheered them , and the sheriff , the military , amd the police , had to march back again . England . —Prorogation of Parliament . —At the Privy Council , held yesterday , at Windsor , it was ordered that Parliament should be prorogued from Thursday the 2 fth , t » Tuesday , December 16 th .
Ihe Condxmxkd Pirates . —No official intimation of the determination of the judges on the questions argued on Saturday has yet been received . We understand , however , on good authority , that the prisoners have been further respited for a fortnight , from Monday next , the 24 th instant , when the present respite will expire . France . —Results of the Harvest . —The Minister of Agriculture and Commerce has addressed an important letter to the Prefects ofthe departments in respect to the results of the late harvest . The object
ofthe letter is to show that the harvest is not so bad as has been represented , and that fiere is no ground tor apprehension of a deficiency of food , as there is amply sufficient in France for the necessities of the inhabitants . A great degree of alarm exists in many parte of France . At Dinan , though one of the parts of the country where the harvest has been most abundant , a serious riot took place on the loth , in consequence of the people attending the market rising to stop some waggons , loaded with grain , which were about to leave the place . The residence of the mayor was attacke d , and the whole place was for some hours in a state of the greatest excitement and alarm . By the latest accounts the place wasina stateof great disorder . =

The steward immediately dispatched intelligence to the police at Rochester , who promptly used means to endeavour to discover the horrid affair , but to this moment without effect .

Extensive Conflagration near Nottingham . — Nottingham , Thursday , ten o ' clock , a . m—Last night another fire , making the fourth within the short space of one month , broke out in this neighbourhood , under circumstances warranting a strong suspicion of incendiarism . Between nine and ten o ' clock a glare of light was seen for many miles around in the direction of Beeston ,. three miles from this town , and very soon afterwards a special messenger arrived , bringing the intelligence that a large stack yard , situate in the centre of the above village , was on fire Twelve out of fifteen large stacks , consisting of wheat , barley , peas , beans , oats , hay , dills , and straw , were entirely destroyed .
Destruction Of The Glasgow City Theatre ...
DESTRUCTION OF THE GLASGOW CITY THEATRE BY FIRE . Late last nighfc or rather early this morning , the above spleudid building , on the Public-green , with all its valuable scenery , internal decorations , and other theatrical appurtenances , was entirely destroyed by fire , with the exception of the walls , which still remain . The most providential , and , at tlie same time , satisfactory consideration is , that the fire occurred after the performances of the evening had closed , and when the audience had taken their departure to their homes . The internal part of the theatre being constructed almost entirely of wood and ether inflammable materials , when the whole erection became enveloped , it formed a sight at once fearful and sublime . It commenced precisely about ten minutes past twelve o'clock ; and , although there was a heavy fall of rain at the time , it had no effect in diminishing the awful grandeur ofthe scene to the-beholder . The
prevention ot further damage than the loss of the theatre itself , from the commencement , appeared to be the only judicious course left to the fire-brigade , and it was ably followed out by Mr . Robertson , ofthe Glasgow police establishment , to whose activity and diligence , in playing upon Mr . Miller ' s Adelphi Theatre , may be ascribed the preservation of that extensive establishment . We have not heard as to the origin of the fire ; but we are sorry to learn that by the misfortune nearly sixty persons will be deprived of employment , and that a large amount of their little properties , such as music and dresses , is entirely lost to them . The theatre itself is valued at several thousand pounds ; but Mr . . Anderson , the proprietor ( well known as the "Wizard of the North ) , we believe , is fully insured in the York , West of England , and Sun Firc-oifices . —u'toss'ow Chronsclc .
The Suspicious Case Of Poisoning ' ¦ -.:...
THE SUSPICIOUS CASE OF POISONING ' ¦ -.: ¦ AT BROMLEY . The case of the young woman , Harriet Monckton , who was poisoned by prussic acid about two years back , at Bromley , continues to excite a great deal of interest in the neighbourhood , and some circumstannces have recently transpired which render it very desirable that the matter should be brought to some termination , and that the guilty party—for that the deceased met her death by foul play there seems to be no doubt entertained either by the jury or the medical men who were examined—should be discovered , or that those against whom suspicions have been entertained should be exonerated from all share in the foul transaction . As so long a period has elapsed since the commencement of the inquiry , it may not be amiss to state briefly under what ccrcumstances the deceased was discovered , and the facts upon which the above opinion is grounded . It appeared that Harriet Monckton , who is described as being a fine handsome young woman , was the daughter of poor parents , residing in the neighbourhood t f-Bromley , but they had contrived to

give her rather a better education than ordinary , and she had obtained a situation as a teacher at a school in London ; which , shortly before the period at which she came by her untimely end , she had given upland was about to take another of a similar character at Arundel , in Sussex ; but before proceeding- to her new situation she : came fo Bromley to pass a few days with her mother . ; On the Monday , when she was last seen alive ,-she left home apparently in good health and spirits , 'saying that she should return shortly , and was never more seen alive . Search was made for her that evening and all the next day , but without avail , until the evening of Tuesday , when it was suggested by one of the party , who was in search of the deceased , that they should examine a ' closet situated at the rear of a dissenting chapel iii" Widl
more-ane , Bromley , and upon going there the deceased was found dead upon the floor of the closet in a sitting position , and from the perfectly placid and composed appearance of her features , it was supposed that she had died a natural death , particularly as there was no trace of any deadly instrumenvt or ingredient visible by which her death could have been occasioned . The coroner for this division of Kent held his inquest in due course , and at the suggestion of the jury a post mortem examination of the deceased was made before Mr . Hott , a surgeon residing at Bromley , and another medical gentleman . It was then discovered beyond the possibility of doubt that the deceaeed had come by her death by means of prussic acid , a quantity being found in her stomach sufficient , in the opinion of the medical
gentlemen , to have killed a dozen people . It also appeared that the unfortunate girl was very far advanced in the family way , and a nearly full-grown child had shared the fate of its unhappy mother . Upon the reassembling of the jury ; these additional facts were given in evidence , and very strong testimony was adduced to show that it was almost impossible that the deceased could have destroyed herself . In the first place , it appeared by the medical testimony that the effect of the poison must have been to destroy life almost immediately , so that she must have taken at in the place where the deceased , was found , but no phial or cup was observed that . could have contained the poison either there or any where near the place . In the next place , if the deceased had herself taken the poison , she would no doubt
have immediately fallen to the ground , and her dress would in all probability have been in confusion ; but , on the contrary , as above stated , she was found in an easy sitting position " , her clothes apparently smoothed down , with her left hand resting easily upon her thigh , and with a white handkerchief under it . The impression produced by the evidence upon the jury , and upon almost all who heard it , was that the poison had not been taken by the deceased in the closet , but that it had been administered to her elsewhere , and that after she was dead she had been carried and placed in the position she was found . Some adjournments were made by the coroner and jury , but although upon each occasion nothing transpired in any way to alter their opinion that the deceased met her death by foul play , no direct evidence was adduced tending to fix the guilt upon any
individual , and since the last adjournment , which is now upwards of eighteen months ago , the coroner has declined to call the jury together , although repeated applications have been made t © him to do so . The jury was originally composed of fifteen individuals , but of this number one is dead , another has gone abroad , and a third has left this part ofthe country ; still , however , leaving twelve , a number that would be competent to come to a decision upon the subject . A short time back these twelve gentlemen sent a communication to the coroner , requesting to know when he intended to call them together , and they received a reply stating that he should do so very shortly , but since then nothing more has bean heard upon the subject . The jury , however , feel so strongly the necessity for further inquiry into this mysterious affair , - that it is understood to be their intention to apply to the Secretary of State on the subject .
Death Of Tee Rev. Sri Wade. On Tuesday A...
DEATH OF TEE REV . SRi WADE . On Tuesday afternoon Mr . Bedford held an inquest at the Three Compasses , King-street , Golden-square , upon the body of the Rev . Arthur Savage Wade , D . D ., lately residing at No . 9 , Clarence place , Pentonville . The deceased , who was in- his 58 th year , was well known in the political world . Ho was the rector of a church in Warwickshire , and independently of that he enjoyed a private income of £ 2 , 000 per annum . Francis Butt deposed that he was in the employ of Nicol and Co ., tailors , & c , 114 , Regent-street . About ten o ' clock on Monday morning , the deceased gentleman came into the shop , and having chosen a pattern , gave an order for a dress coat . He then walked from the rear of the premises towards the door , and while talkiug , his foot slipped , and he would have fallen had not witness gone to his assistance . He immediately exclaimed , " Oh ! I have lost the use of one side . " Deceased attempted to say something more , but his articulation was so indistinct as to be quite incomprehensible . The aid of a
medical gentleman was procured . Mr . Brett , surgeon , stated that he was called in soon alter ten on Monday morning , to see the deceased , whom he at once recognised to be Dr . Wade , having frequently met him at public meetings . Witness found him in a state of collapse , and knowing bis singular manner , that lie would avoid medical treatment if possible , assumed a little harshness with him , hut findint ! paralysis increasing , bled him at the arm , the issue of which seemed favourable , lie was subsequently removed to 29 , Silver-street , where he was again visited by the medical gentleman , at a quarter to four , who then found him in a dangerous state . He never rallied , and expired shortly after four o ' clock . The surgeon attributed the cause of death to apoplexy . The coroner briefly remarked on the melancholy nature of the case , and the jury recorded a verdict in accordance with the medical testimony , " Died from Appolexy . "

' The correspondence thereon from various localities being disposed of , the following resolutions were unanimously adopted :-. " That in consequence of many of the delegates -. . having to represent . a district composed of localities lying far apart . it is improbable that such ' . districts will be unanimous in their desire for the saine quantity of Land , in which case the delegate cannot represent the wishes of all , and this being a vital question , we rocommehd our delegate to suggest the p ' rooriety of its being decided by the votes of the members at large . " — " That should the Conference or society determine to [ augment the shares to four acres each , that our delegate be requested to move , or support , a motion that the
sum of £ 4 be paid for each share instead of £ 2 12 s ., that the object may not be retarded through want of means .
