      MB . O ' COX-SELL OX " LIES . ' The Nation , in the course of some allusions to V . r O ' uonnell ' s charge of " lying" preferred against the Times , bittingly asks : — "When he was refuting' lies , why did he not apply himself to a most audacious statement made , and again made in tit . ' 3 Ta . it—surely a most hoTible "' lie—namely , that he , the treasurer of tbe Repeal Association ' after being intruded with so many hundreds of thousands of pounds sterling by the pauper population of Ireland , wherewith to buy them ' Ireland f « r the Irish '—after promising thecs Repeal in six mentlis , any time tiie last four years , only let lhe shilling a-year and the penny a-inonth continue , that he , the lcadar , whose counsel no man was ever permitted to tlswait—lie , the treasurer , whole coconuts no man ever saw—has brought in the Irish people debtors to him at last in the sum of £ 700—has announced in the committee that they cannot" pay a sum

      cf money they unanimously Toted to the Davis testimonial several months a ? o , because there are not only no funds but they owe bim money , and tbey must be 4 just before tbey are generous ? ' So has tbe Mail rcdorttd , and rt iterated with confident pertinacity . Sow , here is a ' lie' we should like to hear r < futed—a most destUent and malignant lie . For surely the thing is impossible . It cannot be tbathe has been taking the starv-- » 3 peasants' mite , and the priceless trust of youth , and the passionate pray * rs , and tears , and blessings of S £ O 00 . 0 CO heaits for so many years , and means to wind no the transaction with a balance against us all at last . 1 st him deal with this * lit' n « t week , and see what he can niaha of it .

      This is excellent , and its raciness is further enhanced bv the pleasing fact of the Nation having a thorough " knowledge of the literal accuracy of the di & . ' nceful revelations brought to light in the colonics of the MaV . So strictly correct wore the s-cret praeeedinsss of the finance conimitcc reported in the Conservative organ , tbat a member present on the interesting occasion is of opinion that Air . O'Connell must for once have acted as his own reporter , and written out his speech , to prevent any mistake . IUteal Association . — The proceedings at toe weekly meeting of this association were of the usual aescripti ' . ; n , ami the ordinary actors appeared in their old and well known characters . The abuse of Youn ^ Ireland and the bugabfiO of " physical force " constituted the standing theme of all the orators , and O'Connell read a Ions report on the points at issue between " Old" and " Yaumr Ireland . "

      The novelty , truthfulness , and originality of the document may be judged of by the concluding sentence : —Never cease our efforts fill we re-establish the nationality of Ireland , and make her what she ouaht to be , " great , glorious , and free First , flower of die earth , and first gem of the sea . " " Casiel 0 'Coxsf . li ,, Chairman of the Committee . " The rent for the week was £ 5 i . 2 . ir . Mougax Jons O'Coxxeia . —The Evdiing Post contradicts the reported appointment of this gentleman to the oi'ice of Poor Law Commissioner in the room ef Mr . Twisleton , and asserts that such an arrangement was never contemplated . The report is now of several " months' standing , and was first given currency io by the Post # s 0 . Why did not theeontr- 'idittba come before this ?

      Dcnux . Suv . 24 . — 'lh : accounts from the provinces tLis inamins are extremely disheartening—outr . 'ga a :. d destitution are both on the increase , and it is very much to bs feared that in many cases the pressure , or perhaps the assumption of tbe one is has an erccase far tbe cninsissM . n of the other . The Corb Examiner o ? the 23 rd . contains an account of a ¦ vervalarming outrage on the property ottheGre . it Southern and Western Railway , and others of the nroviucial jouraa ' s , give long ! i » ts of attacks on i-jvi ts-ss 5 g- - : ns , iv , Wieries of bread carls , attacks on dwellings in search of provisions , and ihooting ol horses employed in the c .-nvcynnc 3 of corn . With respect to the former the fesafner says , intelligence readisd toarii . at an early hour this mornin ; , that an atticfc had b-ren made on the work- ; of this line in pr « rr : S 3 at Katbpeacon . about a mile and a half

      beyond Blackpool . It will lie remembered that a numerous badv of iaboarcrs spoiled to Mr . Beamish fur employment on Wednesday last , and that that gentleman informed fhem arrangements would be made as speedily as p" * sib ! e for their advantage . It now appears that the majority of those men , increased by a Ir . r ^ e nmub . r of labourers from Ca rrignavar , Whiteshiirch . Blarney , and the adjoining countryin ali amounting to nearly one thousand—assembled this morning , and immediately proceeded to Itathpeaion , where the works of tins line commence . They ai ticked the men employed there to the number of sh y v orsewiity . and compe'Ud them to desist from work : they then destroyed the wheel-barrows , pickaxes , and other implements required in this description of work . It is said that the overseers were afco ranltrcatd , but the accuracy of this rumour is not to bs relied upon .

This day we were favoured with a reinforcement of twenty men of the Dragoon Guards , the present party of the military and police being considered insufficient by the pay clerks to preserve tii « a uninjured in their official capacity . As a proof of their apprehensions , one of that establishment was escorted on Tuesday last from this town to Timolcague , by a party of soldiers . I r . rrived there in time to learn their hopes were frustrated . In a fit of frantic destitution , the maddened multitude attempted , as I have been told , to cut the harness of the pay clerk ' s vehicle . This town looks in a state of siege—the skeletons ot men and women are creeping from shop to shop , imploring , in accents half subdued by weakness , the smallest moisel of food . When they ask bread , they receive a troop of dragoons . These are melancholy and unvarnished truths which I am utterly incompetent to pourtray /'

      Dcblis , Nov . 25 . —The provincial journals received this day are filled with the most melancholy details of suffering and privation . D ^ ath by starvation is now an ordinary occurrence , and as such is no longer regarded as anything out of the usual course of events ? The Southern Reporter gives an account of the deaths of four persons through wa « t of food . Two men , named McCarthy and Purcell , died on the lands of Letter , within two miles of this ; a third named Bahane , at Kiladerry , three miles distance ; and a fourth , named Houriahne , at Droming , a similar distance .

      Monday. Lambeth.—Assault On A Servant.—M...

      MONDAY . LAMBETH . —Assault on a Servant . —Mary Egar . a tidy looking Irish girl , attended to substantiate a charge against her late mistress , Mrs . Blong , a lady residing at No 3 , Brunswick-place , Ciapham road , for having spat in her face and refused to give her a character . When the case was ca lled ou the husband of the defendant stood fonvard , and said that Mrs . Blong , who was naturally ol an irritable disposition , was in such a state of nervous excitement since the had received the summons as to be quite iueapable of attending before his worship to answer the charge . He ( Mr . Blong ) was , however , willing to abide by whatever judgment the magistrate might come to in the matter . The complainant then proceeded at some length to detail the treatment which she had received . Mrs . Blong scarcely ever ceased to abuse her ,

      particularly for the last week or ten days that she had bet-n in hirservice . She uned frequently to call her an " Irish wretch , " au " Irish reptile , " and a " Catholic devil . She had also , after being at a Catholic chapel , placed a shawl over her shoulders , and moved about the kitchen in mimicry and derision of the priests while celebrating mass , and further , bad , on one occasion , spat in her face . After she hnd left her service , Mrs . Blong had given such a character of her to a lady who was about to engage her , that the latter declined to have am thing to do with her , and the coust-nuence was , that she was compelled to part with bet- clothes io obtain the necessaries of life . Mr . Blonj drclared tbat if Mrs . Blong had been present , she would take her oath that the whole of . the

      complainant ' s stati-nun : was untrue . He was sure his wife gave the complainaut such a chatacter as she de . served . Mr . Elliott observed that it was exceeding cruel to withhold characters from servants , particularly young women , who had nothing d « e to depend upon for their living and future prospects in life , and recommended Mr , Blong to settle the matter with the complainant , by giv . ing her something for her loss of time and the expenses of the summons , and also such a character as she deserved , while iu his service . On leaving t he court , Mr . Blong made his pcac : with tha complain ant , by giving her three half-crowns , and promised to give her such a character as sbe deserved , to any person who should com « after it , and thus the matter has terminated .

      WORSHIP-STREET . —Assault on the Police . — John Clifford was charged with having assaulted and wounded police constable Norman , in tho ex : cmion of his duty . It appeared from the evidence of the constable , who bad been confined to bis bed for more than a week , and exhibited the marks of severe recent injuries , that he was on duty in Commercial-street , 'YVliiteuliiiprI , between twelve and one o ' clock on the morning of Monday se'nnight , when he was directed by his serjesut to proceed aud quell a disturbance which had arisen in flower and Bean-street , on reaching which be found the prisoner in the custody of some other officers , through the hand of one of whura he was informed by a bystander , that be had just drawn a knife . Finding that bis afsistance was not required , be returned back to bis beat , and shortly afterwards saw the prisoner , who

      appeared to have escaped from tbe other constables , ap . preaching , surrounded by a riotous mob , and be attempted te secure bim . The prisoner , however , on discerning his intention , instantly struck him a violent blow on the eye with a large stone , which scut bim reeling backwards , and rendered him powerless ; and before he could recover himself , he was struck forward again by another violent blow from some instrument ou the back of the head that felled him to the e . round in a state of insensibility . Ou being restored to consciousness , lie found that he had almost lost tbe sight cf bis left eye , and that his clothes aud person were saturated with blood , but he contrived to support himself against some railings whUe he sprung his rattle for assistance , and was afterwards placed iu bed at the station-house , where he had remained under medical care ever since . Mr . Heritage , who appeared for the defence , said that notwithstanding

      the manner in which Ins client bad been sworn to by the police , he was instructed to give a total denial to the charge , and had seven or eight witnesses in attendance who would prove that the constables were altogether mistaken in their identification of the pri-otic-r , who , ulthoogh present as a casual spectator at the commence , ment of the affray , had taken no part whatever in the stries'of outrage- which appeared to have been afterwards committed . Mr . Bingham said that after the number of witnesses who had unanimousl y sworn to the identity of tbe prisoner , he considered it to be the province of a Jury to decide upon tbe cogency of any opposing testimony that might be produced in that respect ; and as thecbargc was one of a very serious description , he had no hesitation in committing him for trial , but would accept substantial bail , under the cucunistances stated by bis solicitor , for bis appearance . The bail was shortly afterwards produced , and the prisoner liberated .

      Abdcctiou . —James ivrnnt , late a police constable belonging to the P dhision , was charged with abduction . Mr . Games , who attended for the prof ecution , said that in the monthjot January last , the prisoner , then s policeman , was in <• ustody upon the present charge , but bad managed to effect bis escape . An application wa = subsequently made to Mr . Henry at this court , and a warrant was granted for his apprehension , but the prisoner managed to elude the vigilance of the police until the night before when he was t-. iken into cusody . The clerk then read over tVc examinations of Elizabeth Ann Grant ( the wife of the prisoner , ) and Surah Everest , her mother , and which were as follows : —The former stated on the 3 lst day of October last , I left home to go to lea at Mrs . Murrell's , in Lock ' s-fields , and as I was in tbeshop about balf . past three o ' clock in the afternoon , James Grant pnssed . He saw me , and beckoned to me . He bad been paying his addresses to me , but against the consent and wishes of my mother , for about six months , and 1 came to him when he beckoned me . He then askeil

      me to go to some house with him , and wanted me to get married to him . 1 said I was too young . I was then fifteen years and seven montr . s old only . He persuaded me to go on board a steam-boat with him from Westminster-bridge to Vauxball . There he gave me something to drink , and I became tipsy . He took me te a broihel in Gay wood-street , and there by threats and persuasions I consented to his wishes . I bad been tbere before with him . He kept me there and at other lodgings for nearly two months , and at the end of th ; . t lime I was married to him at the church of the parish of Christcburch , in the county of Surrey . During the two niontbs , and frcuuoutly since I have been married , I

      have asked him to let me go home to my mother , but he has always threatened . he would beat my brains out if I did . On Sunday night last , the 18 h inst ., he was writing , and I snid to him , "I may as well write home to my mother , may IV " No ; if you do I'll stick these razors through your , " and took two razors out of a drawer and opened them , struck me , and knocked my head against tbe wll , because I said I would write . Yesterday I sent for my mother , and sbe fetehedme away . During tbe time I have been with Grant he has frequently t eaten me . He has dvne so nearly every day . Yesterday be told me he would murder me if I said anything about bim before the Magistrate . The prisoner was ultimately remanded .

      1 TUESD & Y . MARLBOItOUGH-STKEET . — Djeing Ootbage , — IKnnis Connor , Michael Hannan , and Mary Slater , were charged with having committed the following gross outrage in the Victoria public house on Monday night . Mr . Williams , jun ., said , he appeared for his father , who kept tbe Victoria public-house , Castle-strcef . About twelve o'clock the previous night a party of the lower order of Irish , amongst whom were the prisone-rs , came into the bouse and asked to be served with a pint of rum . AVitness's father at first conceived they wereaparty from the theatre who wanted refreshment , but ou looking closer at their persons he though it would be advisable to refuse to serve them , and be told them so . The party declared they would not leave the bouse until the ; had been served with the liquor , and as they began to assume a menacing attitude , witness ' s father conceived the safest way would be to supply them tvisb the liquor , and accordingly the pint of mm was drawn , and handed to on « of the party . The prisoner Connor

      instantly seized the measure , drank nearly half the con . tf nts , aud then handed it to the woman , who also drank heartily . Theliquor having been all consumed , application was made for payment . The prisoners refused to pay until they were served with a second pint . This was of course not complied with , and then the prisoners began to be insulting aud outrageous . Connor struck witness several severe blows on the body . The woman , Slater , seized a pewtf-r measure , and threw it at witness ' s mother . Two large jugs followed in the same direction , and then the lamp glasses were smashed . The woman , by this time , furiousas a wild beast , seized tbe barmaid ) and actually tore handful Is of hair from her head , leaving her nearly bald . Tbe barmaid was called , to prove the truth of the above statement . She took off her bonnet and showed her head . One side presented a flourishing crop of hair , the other side was nearlydenuded of its natural covering . She had been assailed hy the Irishwoman without provocation , and had been thus barbarously treated .

      WORSHIP-STREET . —Bbotal Conbcct op a Policeman . —E Iward Blundell was charged with creating a disturbance in the streets , and assaulting police constable Jlonlford , K 210 . in the execulion of his duty . The constable stated , that while on duty in Globe-lane , Jliletii J , at half-past one o ' clock that morning , the defendant passed hy , in company of several e-the-r persons , one of whom accused bim of improper conduct with a woman , and asked him if he considered that to be his duty . Hedetirid ( hem to go home , and not create a disturbance , when one of the party uttered the exclamation , "Give it bim , " arid the defendant immediately struck him a violent blow , and knocked him down . On reco vering his feet , he drew out his truncheon to defend himself . On bring called upon for bis defence , the

      defendant emphatically denied the charge , and stated that he bad numerous witnesses in attendance who would prove that , having detected the policeman in an act of gro s > impropriety , and threatened to rt port him , be had forestalled their intention by taking bim into custody , in the hope of escaping the consequencisof his own misconduct . The defendant then called his sisti r-in-latv , Mrs . Isabella Blundell , the wife of a plumber , in Cbester-pluce Bethnal green , who stated that , after spending the even ' ing with a family party , she was returning heme with several of her relatives , and was about to bid them good night within a few doors « . f their own residence , when they beartl the sound o ! v < ipes down a dark entry , ad _ joiningit . On looking down tliecourt sbe directed her husband ' s attention to tbe constable and a woman who weie standing there , aud observed to her hushacd thg £ it was

      Monday. Lambeth.—Assault On A Servant.—M...

      a policeman ; . on which the complainant instantly turned round , and adjusting his dress , which was in a disordered state , asked her what business it was of hers if he were a policeman , and assailing her with an infamous epithet , told her that he would serve her in the same way . Her brsAer-in-law then intimat-d to the constable that he should wait until the sergeant came up , in order to point the woman out to bim , when the latter instantly darted out of the entry and disappeared . Tbey then told bim that they should take his number and report him to his superiors for his insolence , when the officer pulled out his truncheon , and after nourishing it about like a madman , made a rush at her sister-in-law , who had just come out with an infant in her arms , to learn the cause of the uproar , and knocked her and the child down with such violence , that after trampling upon them , he overbalanced himself and fell forward upon his hands . On recovering his feet , . tho constable ,

      who appeared to be greatly excited , springing his rattle , and on the arrival of another officer , charged the defendant with assaulting bim , and ho was immediately carried off to the station-house . Both the infant and its mother had sustained severe injury from the violence to which they had been subjected , and the latter was unable ta attend and give evidence , having been since confined to her bed . On being asked by the magistrate if he wished to offer any remarks in reference to the inculpatory statements he had just heard , the constable declared that be had not been in the company of any woman at the time spoken of , rud that the whole of the testimony against bim was utterly false . In reply to the magistrate , it was stated that the officer was a married man and had always been considered a steady one , but that he had only been about nine or ten months in the force ; and Mr . Bingham , without any observation , immediately ordered the defendant to be discharged .

      THAMES . —Feeocioos Outrage . —Robert Maylove . a seaman , Elizabeth Matthews , and Emily Green , were brought before Mr . Broderip on a charge of assaulting and robbing Henry Thompson , a sailor , belonging to the brig Caroline , in the Grand Surrey Canal . The prosecutor appeared to have been terribly mauled , and it appeared from his statement tbathe met with the prisoner Green on Monday night , and after treating her she invited him to her lodgings , Rains's-place , Shadwell , where he met the other woman prisoner and Maylove . He treated them with all manner of things . When all his money was expendod tbe party became dissatisfied , and tbey made

      a brutal attack upon him . He was knocked down and jumped upon by Maylove and Green . He got up again and fought desperately , and succeeded in forcing open tho door of the room , which the prisoners had locked upon him . Another conflict took place upon the stairs , and , acc-rding to the statement of a girl named . Harvey , who was lying upon a bud in the room where the first attack was made , and who took no part in the affray , the prisoners beat the sailor in a most savage manner . Other evidence having been given , Mr . Broderip finedtheprisoners £ 5 each , ami in default of payment committed them to the House of Correction for two mouths .

      WEDNESDAY . MAXS 10 N-IIOUSE . —Liberty of tce Subject . — A young Irishman , named Richard Osborne , was charged with having carried a piece of timber through the streets in such a manner is to endanger the eyes of passengers . A policeman stated that , having observed the defendant on the pathway poke the piece of timber up against several persons as they passed , and abuse those « 1 ) 0 complained , he spoke to the man , and requested that a little regard might be paid to the people . To that expostulation the defendant paid no attention , but continued his course as if be alone had a right to walk along the street , finding that the defendant was determined to carry his load in his own peculiar way , hewalked him off to the station-house . The defendant said that

      he was going on quietl y enough , aud minding nobed y , when the policeman called him an Irish blackguard ; and as he was no blackguard , although he was Irish , be did not like the name , and he therefore replied in a way that complainant did not fancy , and that that was the real cause of the dispute between them which led to the . station-house . The policeman declared that be had not used the offensive expression attributed to him , as nothing could be more unjust than the application of it to a stranger of whom he knew nothing . The fact was that many persons were endangered , while some were actually hurt , by the rou jh carelessness of tbe defendant . —The Defendant : Why , my lord , should not I go along the streets free ? Why is a man , because he carries a bit of wood , to be treated like a slave 2 I consider that I am at liberty to walk through the streets in this country as well as in my own . —The Lord Mayor : No doubt you are ; but you must manage to walk in such a manner as not to injure or impede others . Your notions of liberty

      are rather selfish , for you seem to require every tort of accomodation and indulgence yourself without giving and in return . That will not do here . It is indeed a very common thing to meet with such annoyances and I am not sorry to have theopporiunity of telling persons who are in the habit of carrying loads , thatin such a case as yours a magistrate has the power of iufticiiug a heavy penally , which I have no doubt it would be difficult for you to discharge . As I believe that you erred through ignorance 1 shall not fine you , but I shall expect that the occurrence will operate serviceably upon your future conduct . —The defendant , who evidently was under the impre . 'gion that it was the duty of alllie met to get out of his way without requiring the slightest attempt at accomodation rom him , said that he should certainly remember his lordship's advice and act accordingly , but he certainly thought that he had aright to do as he pleased in a free country ( laughter . ) The Lord Mayor : You certainly are at liberty to do what you please , so that what you please happen not to displease others ( laughter *)

      THURSDAY . THAMES . —Alleged Croelti to a Lunatic at Sea . —An extraordinary applic . etion was made by Mr , Pelham , the solicitor , on behalf of a shipowner , iu the City , against the captain of a barque lately arrived in the river , from tbe Mauritius . The address of Mr . Pelham was of considerable length , and detailed some very harrowing circumstances . The ship in question sailed in June , 1814 , on a voyage from London to Singapore , Madras , Pondieherry , l'enang , Hong Konaf , to the Mauritius again , and h ' . stly to the Island of St . Helena and England . During the voyage , which was procrastinated by the master , three different crews were shipped , and the first one , with the exception of two men , were tried for mutiny at the Mauritius , and upon

      conviction sentenced to four years' transportation . The principal charge against the muster , ivho had heei ) guilty of very great cruelty and tyranny towards the crews he had shipped , was that of a course of barbarous ill-usage towards a young man who was the second mate of the ship , and who became insane . The poor lunatic was afterwards exposed to the most horrible treatment , and only allowed bread and water for his support . The helpless creature whs put in irons and fastened all day to the davits of the ship by a chain put round his arm , and every night he was chained by the leg to the cabin table . The lunatic , during bis lucid intervals , bad made s . ome revelations relating to the ill-treatment of a boy at Singapore , who was afterwards drowned under circumstances of suspicion . The insane man is at present in his mother ' s house at Deptford , in a partially comat jse state , and labouring under symptoms evincing serious injury to the brain . The man ' s arms , fve-t , an / I legs bad been

      lacerated and coHtused . Mr . Pelham , after putting in a medical certificate of the lunatic ' s condition , called upon the magistrate to issue process against the master , foi ' the purpose of investigating the ease . He had the full authority of the owner to make this application , and the mother of the lunatic was present , who would relate the existing comiit'on of lnrson . Only one of the original crew , a man of colour , besides the luna ' . ic , had returned with the ship , but many of the hands shipped at the Haurisius were in attendance to prove the cruelty exercised towards the lunatic on the homeward voyage . Mr . Ballantine thought , in a matter of so much importance , involving charges of a most serious nature , ibe owni-r , who was bound to protect his crew , ought to be present : he did not think he could issue process on the application of the ltiuatic ' s parent , who could know nothing of the affair except from hearsay . Mr . Pelham ultimately promised to produce the owner on Friday and renew the application .

      { From our Third Edition of Last Week . ) FRIDAY . THAMES STREET . —Assault . —Willia-n Kiffin , residing in Brick Lane , Spitulfields , a well-known associate of thieves , was brought up Ly police-constable Kelly , 119 II , charged under the following circumstances : —Kelly saw the prisoner with a crowd of prostitutes and bad characters ntar Church Lime , in the Commercial Road . Knowing what they were , hecautioned them to move on , upon which the prisoner struck him a heavj- blow . On attempting to arrest him the prisener ' s hat came off , and two handkerchiefs fell out of it . The prisoner then snatched a parcel of silk handkerchiefs out of his pocket , and threw them amongst the crowd of vagabonds , when they were quickly made away with . A

      desperate struggle then ensued , during which the prisoner kicked at the constable and attempted to bite him . Another constable came up , but the crowd pressing in on them , whilst the prisoner threw himself on his back , and kicked out fm iously , they would have been soon overpowered , and most probably murdered , had not some gentlemen come to their assistance . Kelly subsequently ascertained that the prisoner and another bad stolen a quantity of boots and shoes from the house of a -Mr . Uaiiics .

Ballantine ordered u summons for his appearance , upon which he attended , aud the case was fully proved against the prisoner , . The fellow was fully committed for trial .

      LAMBETH . —Religious Deatubeds . —The Rev . Tennison Cuffe , the Minister of Carlisle Chapel , in Kenning , ton-lane , applied for a warrant against Captain Wills , for having made use of threatening aud offensive language to him . From the statement of the Rev . Gentleman it appeared that lie had been sent for to attond Mrs , Wills , an » ged lady , who had been a member of his congregation , who was in a dying state , On going to lhe house he found Mrs . Wills very ill , and while reading some passages of scripture to her , four young Indies , her daughters , behaved themselves in wllllt he considered to he a very improper manner , so that he had to remonstiatc with them on the Impropriety of the conduct while their parent was in a dying slate . He soon discovered that their conduct arose from their being Roman Catholics , and from their having an aversion-to him as a Protestant clerg ' vniau attending their parent . On the following day ( Thursday ) he again called to see the dying lad y , on seeing . tiie

      niece of Mrs . Wills , who was a Protestant , he wa » told there was no use in his going up stairs again to the dying lady , as a Catholic priest had been called in since he had been there the day before ; he , however Wflg flnxiOUS to see the lady , and was about to proceed up stairs , when Captain Willis made his appearance with a stick in his hand , abused him . and asked him who had sent for him , and told him that if he attempted to go up stairs he should fling him down-Mr . Elliott : Did tbe captain strike or assault you at all ! —Rev . Mr . Cuffe : Not at all , Sir , but he made use of

      very violent language and threats . —Mr , Elliott : Were the threats made use of in the house , or were any of them made outside the door!—Rev . Mr . Cuffe : They were made in the house . —Mr . Elliott Had the threats been made use of in the streets , or out of doors , Icoulr grant you a summons ; but having been used in the house , the law does not allow me to interfere in the matter . [ Were it not that custom has dulled our perceptions , such an abominable system of domestic intrusion as that which exists under the name of " religious consolation" would not be tolerated for a day . ]

      Death From Starvation. On Wednesday A Pr...

      DEATH FROM STARVATION . On Wednesday a protracted investigation ( adjourned from Friday last ) was resumed before Mr . Mills , Deputy Coroner , respecting the death ol Louisa Mandant , aged 33 , a distressed needlewoman . Mary Ann Mandant , tho sister of the deceased , was then called in and sworn . ( Her dreadfully forelorn and emaciated appearance excited the commisseration of all present . ) She said I resided at 93 , Crawford street , with my mother and my deceased sister , who was a needlewoman , hut unable to work . I am 36 years of age , ( she looked GO ) , and am also a

      needlewoman , when I can get work to do . My sister died on the 18 th of November , at eleven o ' clock in the morning . I left her in bed that morning with spasms of the slomacb , and went to work at some bed furniture , in Salisbury mews , and when I came back , Mrs . Bryant , a lodger , said she was dead . My sister has been incapable to do work , and except very little , and my mother and her were wholly dependant on my earnings , besides half-a-crown my mother received from the parish . We lived together in tho top room , for which we paid 2 s . 3 d . per week , leaving only 3 d . out of the halt-crown .

      Mr . R . D . Hading examined . I made a post mortem examination of the deceased ' s body thirty hours after death . Externally the body exhibited all the appearances of marked emaciation . The medical gentleman here proceeded to detail his interior examination , and deaciibed the intestines as being completely shrivelled up for want of nourishment . He then observed the stomach was empty , with the exception of a portion of faeces about the size of a split pea . This was the only vestige of solid food found in the whole extent of intestinal organs . The Coroner . —Then , do you say that she died from actual starvation ? Witness , —Yea , that is . the case . The spasmodic contraction was caused from the absence of food . Dr . M'Intyre was present at the post mortem examination , andentitely agreed with me .

      Mary Mandant recalled . —Before we came to live in Crawford-street , we Jived in Salisbury-street . We were in want of food and clothing at that time . When I first applied to Mr . Messer for relief at the workhouse , I asked him if he would relieve me , as I was out of work , and he said he could not relieve such young people . I then asked him for a loaf of bread , as 1 had nothing to eat or drink , and he gave me a loaf of bread . I at the same told him my sister and mother were without food , and he replied "There was the workhouse , he could do nothing more for us , as my mother was a pensioner on the

      books . No one visited us at Crawford-street from the parish . I tlipn went to the workhouse and got a loaf of bread every Tuesday for about seven weeks , but no money . On each occasion I mentioned that my mother and sister were in want of food , but all the answer I got wr , s , that we must come in , although I urged that I wanted a little relief for myself and sister out , as my mother was not fit to be left by herself . . VI r . Tuekwood once visited us in Seymourplace , and seeing that we were without food , ' firing , and clothing , wanted us to go into the house , but I would sooner go miles away than do so .

      By the Coroner . —I believe that my deceased sister has been without sufficient food and clothing for the last three months . I myself have been so , and people have wondered how we could keep life in us . Wc liave lived chiefly on tea and bread and butter . We have not tasted meat for days and days together —not once a week . No one has " visited us from tho parish since the last inquest , but we have had food given to us by our landlord . The Jury then retired , and after an absence of about half an hour returned , and the foreman delivered the following as their verdict : — " The Jurors in the case of Louisa Mandant unanimously agree that her death was caused from the want of the common necessaries of life . That the Jury regret that the officers of the parish of St . Marylebone have not done their duty in scrutinising the necessities of the destitute poor .

      The Coroner accorded in the observations of the Jury , and expressed his conviction that the coming winter would render additional caution on the part of parishes , as to the wants of the poor , exceedingly necessary .

      Destitution In The Highlands Of Scotland...

      DESTITUTION IN THE HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND . At the quarterly meeting of the Commission of Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland , on Wednesday last , in Edinburgh , an interesting discussion took place on the destitution at present existing in the Highlands , and on the threatened actual famine which it was to be feared would shortly overtake the population in these districts , more particularly in the western islands . Mr . Sheriff Spiers said the returns received were chiefly confined to the Western Islands , with the exception of the island of Lewis , where it appears that its wealthy proprietor has made such provision as to relieve the public from any apprehensions as to scarcity of food there , —but even deducting the large population of that island , there are stil ) 100 , 000 persons for tho most part at this numicnt suffering from the pressure of want , and with the prospect of famine before their eves .

      Mr . M'Lean , of Glenarchy , stated , that the failure of the potatoe crop throughout the whole of the Long Island has been universal . 1 could name a parish in which this article of human food was cultivated to the extent of probably 150 , 000 barrels , and in which 3 , 000 could not be found at this moment , —a parish containing a population of 8 , 000 , into which not a single peck ef meal has as yet been imported . The population of ' the Long Island may be divided into four classes , viz ., the tacksmen , who hold large possessions ; the small tenants or crofteis , who pay a , rent of eight to twelve pounds ; the cottars , whose burden is chiefly borne by the small tenants ; and lastly , the paupers , who are entitled to parochial relief . The second class now named may probably subsist themselves , and live through to

      theinonth of March , but certainly not beyond that period , unless they receive foreign aid . On the last of these two classes mentioned the hand of want is pressing gseverely— families aud districts nihjht bo pointed out where the sea-shore is their chief , alnvst their only resource—and their having lived through so long is a wonder and a mystery to their neighbours who are more favourably circumstanced . But fur the aid extended by the class immediately above them , they could not have lived so long , their own resources being completely exhausted . Only two weeks ago in one of the harbours of the Long Island , I was called upon to administer the ordinance of baptism in tho immediate neighbourhood to two infants , immediately thereafter the melancholy fact transpired , that in one of the families , consisting of eight individuals , there was not one morsel of food wherewith to satisfy the hunger of the inmates . The father of one of these families , as a friend and

      inyselt were in the act of stepping on board , the yacht , bcsecchcd me to request the master to give him a handful of meal to make supper for his starving family . On the morrow , the two families were in the same sad predicament . They had neither money nor credit , nor any kind of property wherewith . to provide food for their children ; and even if they had , they would have experienced the utmost difficulty in procuring any , there not being a grain of meal fur sale in the country , I can never forget tliejoy depicted in the facts of the fathers Ot these two families on their receiving an order on one of the millers of tho country , accompanied with an earnest request that he would give them the small quantity applied for , should it be in pecks or stones . Instances of this melancholy description mi"ht be easily multiplied ; they abound amongst the class spoken ot , and among the pauper class also in every direction .

      Dr . Aldcorn , ot Oban , gave similar evidence as to cases he had seen with his own eyes , of aged and helpless persons , and of large families , of parents and young children , and these most respectable in character , who had had no food for days to ^ ctht-r except small quantities offish , if the weather permitted them to go in search of them , or shell-fish or in a few instances , a handful or two of barlcy-meal borrowed from neighbours not much better supplied than themselves—of nursing mothers who had failed to be able to give nourishment to their infants from the want of it themselves ; we saw in one c \ = e a poor sickly baby labouring to drain its natural food trom the breast of ; a mother who had got none herself for almost twenty-four hours before , and tinmany days not a half or a third of what could be necessary in such circumstances j another case of a mother in an equally destitute condition . « ti < ivin < r ;«

      support twins of five months old at breasts where there was not a supply for one child , To save themselves and jfBmilies for a time mnuv of these poor people , indeed almost all of them , had killed a few sheep , to the number ef two , three , or four , which they were allowed , by the kindness of the small tenants , to graze on the common pasture , and which » their whole stock ; and , i „ 30 me instances , thev had killed their only milk cow . But very few c * ' Ibis class have cows at all .

      Corn Exchange, November 2a. The Wheat Tr...

      CORN EXCHANGE , November 2 a . The wheat trade has maintained a firm tone since our last , anil at several of the leading provincial markets hela yesterday , prices had an upward tendency . The demand for Indian corn , on Irish accounts lias afco revived , and we learn from Liverpool that large purchases of the article had been made at that port by buvcrs from the north of Ireland , at prices varying from 5 l " s . to 51 s per I 801 bs ., according to quality .

      PROVINCIAL MARKETS . Wakefield Corn Makket . —The supply of all kinds of grain was moderate . The wheat trade was animated . ! Wakkisgton Corn llAEKET .-Thei'e was a good at tendance of farmers at the market , with plenfv of wheat offering , which sold at 2 ilper bushel less monev . The flour market was dull , and stocks are now beginning to accumulate . Hull Corn- If arret . —During the last week we have had a dull trade in free wheat , but some iuquirv has been made for bonded for shipment to France , which has had the effect of impartim ; a firmer tone to the market . So little Spring corn offering that we make no alteration in prices . Birmingham Corn Exchange . — During- the present week there has been more disposition to buy wheat , and Is . perqr . advance obtained on fine English , which real , ise-d 7 s . fid . to 7 s . 8 d . per t ! 2 lbs .

      Newcastle Corn- ITarket . —We had a fair supply of wheat at this day ' s market from the growers as well as coastwise , and a moderate extent of business was transacted at similar rates to last Saturday . Wakkfiemi Cattle Mabket . — We had a short . supply of stock at market this morning , of both descriptions , and a good attendance of buyers , yet the market was heavy . ^ Richmond ( Yorksiiirk ) Cobs Makke t , Saturday .-thc had a fair supply of grain in our market to-day , and pi-e sale was a little brisker than , last week at average ices .

      Tower Hamlets' Sewkrs Uojunssiox . —On Tuesday a meeting of inhabitants aud owners of property was held in thecommiitce-room , parish-house . Hackney , to devise measures for reforming the extravagant system of expenditure adopted by the Commission , and for preventing the enforcement of a rate o £ 9 d . now in course of collection . T . Sadler , Esq ., on taking the chair , said he scarcely regretted that the irresponsible doings of the almost defunct Commission had again aroused the parish to a sense of the gross injustice perpetrated under the mask of sewers' rate . The parish had adequate sewerage facilities in its own bro-jk level , and was but little benefitted bythe Commission , who yet taxed the inhabitants in the same ratio as districts with imperfect drainage , and where the Commission had expended large sums of money . Ultimately a motion lor fl _ requisition to the Churchwardens to convene a public meeting was agreed to .

      Thb Parish of St . rANCRAS . —On Tuesday at a very numerously atteneled meeting < if the Board ol Directors and Guardians of the IW of the parish oi St . fancras , after the flisposal of some general coutine business , the question was submitted to tbe considuration of thu Board , relative to the payment , by ( rovernmeuc , of all medical officers , sciio » l-nm > tcis > and school-mistresses , of unions and parish workhouses , out of the Consolidated Funds . A letter from the Voor-Law Commissioners was read , requesting the Ueiard t'i report the salaries of the medical olliccrs , etc . if it wished those officers to be paid by

      Government ; A gentleman present informed the Beard , that the parish of Marylebone had already the subjt'ct under their consideration . They were ol opinion that it only applied to agricultural parishes ; and moreover , if they consented to accept the prolleieil sum from the Gjvernmcnt , they would virtually resign their coutroul over their own oflicers . M * Doug ' as said that was precisely his view of the raa .-ter , and at once moved to appoint a Committee , and that the clerk be instructed to write to the other raoti'opolitau parishes under the Local Acts , to lw ,, fl what course thev have adopted .

      Reduction- of the Duty won Tea . —A nunieroi . 3 and influential meeting of merchants , brokers , importers , and others , was held in Liverpool on " <¦ ' neidav , to consider the best measures to he adopitii for a speech- and considcrab ' e reduction of the c . ncu sive dutv now levied upon tea .
