      Ireland. State Of The Country. Outrages ...

      memorable separation from the paren stock , and in proportion as the sphere of its influence extends doss the Nation wax bolder in its exposures of the hollow-hcartcdness of its late leader . Speaking ol the calumnious charges preferred against it by the paid attaches of Conciliation Ilall , and directly charging Mr . O'Connell with fostering the falsehoods of his toadies , the organ thus bitterly remarks :- — Among the fatal mistakes the historian will chronicle in tbe career of O'Connell , it will stand recorded that lie unwisely preferred to work with base tools , —that , leading three generations , the highest passions , the unconquerable energy and genius of which he might have harnessed to any honest purpose , lie drove them from

      hira , generation after generation , surrounding himself at all times with men too dependent to rebel , and too contemptible to be dangerous . Aud posterity will pause in wonder ( if they find no sufficient key to the mystery ) , tbat this sagacious man overlooked the truth , so obvious and universal , —that only knavery _protpers in the bands of knaves ; that for any honest purpose they are , iu aU cases , promptly or ultimately , ruinous agents . A second fatal error , the remote results of wbich men still uuborn will be labouring to combat , it his rubious paltering with truth . Posterity will not easily pardon Mm this error—making rash and unfounded charges , dealing in convenient and impossible promises , meeting temporary difficulties with some _ingenioustcxpedieut , to be presently thrown aside and forgotten .

      And the evil did not end at home , for error is a seed in every grain of which lies a iuture harvest . These temporary triump hs were won at the cost of our national character and moral strength . English statesmen and the En"lUll people came to regard us as brawlers and ¦ braggarts ; and many a remonstrance , which from a Brirs h community would have made a guilty Minister tremble in his seat , was thrown aside as so much waste paper Wotted with lies nnd nonsense . Mr . O'Connell himself has had many a hard struggle _against this spirit of bis own conjuring . Two Of the latest instances everyone will recollect . For eighteen

      months ef the present agitation the country held away from him , because tbey did not believe in him in earnest ; tbey thought ltepeal was now , as before , bis - « means to an end * —at this moment they fly from bim , because they _bulieve him in league with Lord John _Itussell . litre « the penalty of past errors . For fortune docs iudeed " make of our pleasant vices whips to scourge us with . " If , throughout his career , ho had spofceu aud acted only the rigid truth , trampling on falsehood wherever it presented itself as his ally , what man could have dared to doubt him in either instance ! _Andimairination can scarce picture so grand and

      powerful a position as he would occupy in this country , these kingdoms , if toe sagacious and powerful man , full of resources , indomitable and untiring , had moreover the full trust of thoughtful men as a leader of stable veracity , and clear , approved unselfishness . Alas ! that he _should have sold tbis gigantic power , second only to the angels , for some petty triumphs and a mess Of pottage .

      STATE OF THE COUNTRY . Ttjllasiore . — Upwards el fifty prisoners were -escorted to the gaol of this town this evening ( Mondavi _, by an officer and company of the 10 th Foot , and committed to stand their trial for their share in the late food riots at Birr . Th estate of this country is getting very alarming . he gemral feeling of the farmers in this _neighbourhood is , that they should not pay more than half rent : Many take advantage of the times , and say they can pay none ; and if they are threatened with legal proceedings either to enforce payment or put them out of possession , they answer . " Who will dare take your laud over our heads , or who will dare sell or bid for our goods ?"

      It is a fact that the licensed auctioneers have been threatened , and noticed not to sell for rent ; and to get law processes served is most difficult . Last -week a sheriffs bailiff , ofthe name of Fenix , went to serve a writ on a defaulting tenant , who , when he found what he bad got , sent hisservantboy after him to shoot him ; but was providentially prevented by a neighbour makin-z his appearance at the time . On heing questioned by Fenix why he ran after him with the guu { which was loaded with ball ) , he said he was only going to shoot crows .

      The horses ef the 2 nd , or Queen ' s Dragoons , billetted at a hotel in this town , were turned out of the stables a few night *; ago by some countrymen , who insisted that their horses should have a preference 'Ihe dragoons , finding their horses turned out , returned the compliment , and the countrymen , no way daunted , endeavoured to reinstate their " _Rosinanti , " when a scene of pulling and hauling commenced wh ' ch alarmed the neighbours , several of -whom remonstrated with the countrymen , who , at Jengtb , Tcry reluctantly gave way .

      THE _TOTATO CROP . Within the last week the quality of the stocks sold in the Dublin jnarkets showed a marked improvement over previous supplies , being , comparatively at least , dry and palatable instead of being as hitherto spongy and nauseous to the taste . There has been , teo _, a considerable reduction in the prices , the fall ranging from 2 d . to 5 J . per stone . The last advices from America have bad a most beneficial effect in pulling dawn the monstrous rates obtained for all kinds of provisions since the commencement of the food panic . The following gratifying statement is from tbeArmaah Guardian : —

      " We are _chappy to state that several accounts -which bave reached us confirm the hope that the disease in the potato crop has ceased its ravages among the greater portion remaining . Captain Badgers , of Eden Cottage , Loughall , informs us that le had a eart-load of aa fine potatoes as ever he saw ia his life , drawn home from his field on Tuesday last . They are ofthe sort called Rallygawley pinks , and from different other gentlemen we learn that this kind of potato has generally escaped . A gentleman who has just travelled from Derry , through Strabane , & _c-, informs us thnt on his way he inquired particularly of those who were digging their potatoes , and that one-third of the crop , at least , is safe . Iu oar own county the proportion is even greater . "

      stsrExsiox OF rUBLIC _WOBKS . The Lord Lieutenant has issued a proclamation to the inhabitants of the barony of Upper Tulla , county Clare , and adjoining districts , in which , afterstating presentmeuts _' to upwards of £ 20 , 000 , had been agreed to by the government , au-J all necessary preparations made for setting the people to work , and that in some places operations bad already begun , bis lordship proceeds to say , that he " has leanied that the preparations made have , for the present , been frustrated by a system of insubordination and outrage which endangers thclives ofthe officers and overseers , aud deters the pour and peaceable inhabitants from labouring on the works .

      The Lord-Lieutenant desires most earnestly to point out to the people the serious consequences to themselves from such a course of conduct . The obstruction tp officers in the discharge of their duties creates in the first instance confusion and alarm ; it las the ulterior effect , ulready apparent , of necessarily suspending all further progress in the works ; and , combined -with the outrages committed on private persons and ; property , must preclude _a-y attempt for the continued employment of the destitute poor . The works in the district have , in eon _? equence , been suspended .

      He then states that he has made all necessary arrangements for repressing outrage , and calls upon all parties to refrain from further obstruction or injury to persons engaged in laying out or _superintending public works , lie wilt tueu gladly direct tbe immediate resumption of those works , in the _conviction that they will prove the means of preserving the people from that destitution and ruin which a perseverance in tbeir past line of conduct , must , he fears iuevitably _produce . " Frightful Mcrdzrs is Limerick . —On Sunday _nvrising Mr . John _O'Grady , of Martinstown , near Ivilfinane , took away the life of his wife , daughter of > lr . II- _Oluinlan , of Ballyneal , near Tipoerary , to whom he bad be ' a married a bout six month . * , be

      subsequent !) _alaU-hteied the servant-maid . The circumstance- * arc onefly these : —The servant was attracted by some noise to the bed-room of her master and mist ess , when , to her horror , _** he discovered the latter w- _» rn ; in her go e from a fatal stab in the neck . Sh } screamed , aud ran down stairs , when she was pa sued by Mr , O Grady into the stable , _ufaer , seiiiug a _ji . chfork , ne stabbed her in several parts ofthe body until be killed her . He then left the hou * 6 . ' 1 his horrible tragedy appears to beshoouded in a great deal of mystery , and what adds to it is , tba > a short time since the whole family were nearly poisoned by taking arsenic in bread instead of soda . Family quarrels it is supposed have led to this awful catastrophe .

      ME YOUXGIRELAND PARTI * . Dublin , Nov . 4 th . —This party are coming out more strongly every day , an 4 last evening ventured in holding a meeting at the Rotunda . The admission was by a ticket certifying that the bearer had signed the remonstrance , aud fully concurred -with the propositions therein contained . There was a crowded attendance . Dr . West took the chair amidst loud cheering . After a few observations from the chairman , Mr . James _M'Cormick moved the following resolution— " Resolved—That the attempts made by certain parties calling themselves "Old Irelaaders , and * Moral Force Men' to prevent the Iiolton-street meeting for the origination ofthe 'Dublin Remonstrance' and the continued attempts of the same ( so called ) parties to deter Repeaters from signing , and

      to procure by threats or promises the revocation of signature to that document , is a gross outrage on the liberties of the citizens of Dublin , a deep disgrace to the political and social societies to which those parties may belong , and a course of conduct altogether repugnant to the principles of all true Repealers " The speaker called on the meeting to express their determination not to be put down by those calling themselves repealer . * , who sought to suppress public opinion ; aud to adhere to those men who loved Ireland better than they did men . ( Cheers . ) Mr . TiidM & s Mages seconded the resolution , lie said they had seen strange sights within the last three months . They had seen men _bepraised and besung for their patriotism , turn into petty personal mali _** nei-s ; they bad seen the Hall of Conciliationerected for sacred purpose— -become a den of discord

      Ireland. State Of The Country. Outrages ...

      and contention . ( Hear . ) They had seen patriots , who reviled dignitaries not many years ago as castle hacks , enlightened by the new intelligence which had beamed upon them from the Lord Lieutenant ' s lustre , and as Viceregal visits suddenly discover that a good place was not so bad a thing after all , and that there were worse bargains in the world than the patriot who sold his country . ( Cheers . ) However , they were not there to wreak vengeance on any man , but to examine the responsibility of theleaders of the people , and the extent of obedience which the people in a voluntary association owed to their leaders . ( Cheers . ) Mr . O'Connell was an old and reverend man _; but tho question of Irish nationalitywas older and more reverend than he . They roust not confound the man and the cause . The cause was greater than the man . It might please God to take away the man , but the cause would live—( bravo—the

      spirit ot nationality would go down from generation to generation , and would not die until the last tenant of that island died . ( Loud cheering . ) The speaker , in continuation , said that if ever foreign nations had been deceived into the belief that Inland was in an attitude for an outbreak , Mr . O'Connell was the man who had been the cause of thu delusion , and not Charles Gavan Duffy . In the year 1 S _43 there were Frenchmen in Ireland , and at the Tara meeting , a French Viscount got from Mr . O'Connell a copy of the lines commencing , "Oh ! Erin , will it e ' er be mine , " & c . If Mr . O Council in his cooler moments _sought to throw upon _^ the Nation newspaper the whole blame of deceiving the world , it was very incredible . ( A Voice , "Nogo . " lie ( Mr . Magec ) did not feel _deposed to treat the sins of Mr . J . O'Connell against the people of that country with the same lenity as those of his father . A Voice—Don't spare him .

      The Speaker continued— -Seventy years had many claims that thirty could not pretend to . He believed that Mr . John O'Connell was acting under bad advice . The Irish people would admit the claims of Mr . O'Connell , the Catholic Emancipator —( Cries of Hear , hear , )—hut they would not have thrust down their throats the pretensions of his son . ( Cheers . ) The speaker said , in conclusion , that it was impossible that the cause of Irish nationality should fade , for every province in Ireland produced men whom thev could vclv upon . Fertile Munster presented to them Smith ' O'Brien . ( Tremendous cheering for several seconds , the whole meeting standing up and waving hats . « fcc . )

      Mr . _Micukal Cheas proposed the next resolution , which was as follows : — " That the conduct ot the managers of the Repeal Association , at the meeting on Monday , the 20 th ultimo , in peremptorily refusing admittance to the remonstrant , deputation , and the conduct of John O'Connell , Esq ., M . P ., for Kilkenny , in superseding the chairman by arbitrarily condeming without reading , and throwing out without answering , the Dublin remonstrance , was a gross insult offered to the volunteers , wardens , members , and associates , whose signatures and addresses were thereto attached ; an insult to the office of the chairman _, and to each individual member at that meeting . " -The world would know that the sympathy of France and other countries was not undeserved—they all felt how ardently O'Connell was beloved by his

      countrymen—butif thoy had the shadow of a sliadc of doubt as to him , dear as ho was to them , they would tear themselves from him . ( Cheers . ) That might read the country a noble , a glorious , a living lesson —that Irishmen eould think and speak for themselves ; it was a great and a noble lesson proclaimed that night that Ireland was not O'Connell , and O'Connell was not Ireland . ( Great cheers . ) Mr . O'Connell thought that he could govern the country as he might thirty or forty years ago , but did he not see that every mountain and vale produced its poet now—even from the ranks of humble tradesmen arose brilliant poets and orator *; . Should , then , the men of tne present day bo judged of in the same manner as the untutored hinds of twenty-live years

      ago . People without education might be driven like lambs before the shepherd , but men who learned to read and think—aye , and to write , could not be driven , and would only proceeed according to the dictates of their own minds . ( Loud cheers . ) Where now where the brilliant addresses ?—all was " dull , stale , flat , and unprofitable . " There was nothing of beauty or poetry now in the hall—nothing that could take the fancy of an Irishman in all their dull and prosy harangues . ( Loud cheers . ) There was bo free discussion io the association now ; like an unfair judge , the case for the prosecution was heard , hut not a word for the defence . He called on the Repealers to persevere ; if they did so they would succeed , for justice was at their side . ( Cheers . ) The next resolution was as follows : —

      Resolved—That tbe recent attempts made in Conciliation Ilall tn usurp an aroitrary censorship over the public press , that noble engine , the scourge of tyrants and guardians of liberty , through the instrumentality of which , civilisation aud the rights of man are superseding bigotry and despotism—has filled us with the greatest apprehension and distrust of men who would assume such power . That we deem the Nation newspaper preeminently foremost iu genuine patriotism , disinterested zeal and pure devotion to our cause—thnt its columns , divested of all _immorality , breathe _through every line a

      spirit of toleration worthy of a people in a state of transition from slavery and provincialism to liberty and nationhood . That it truly represents the feelings of earnest repealers by its powerful advocacy of their rights , and by exposure of canting hypocrites , who assume a name to obtain an end , that end being pelf and power . That , as a great national organ , it has earned our support , and that ns a private propirty of an individual , it should be protected from the efforts made to extinguish it , and thereby to stifle free opinion , and that for these , among other reasons , it possesses our unabated confidence .

      The Secretary then read the address , which was received with loud cheers . Mr . Mageb then rose , and presented a handsome silver snuffbox to Mr . Barry , the secretary , as a testimony from the committee for his valuable and unpaid services . It bore the following inscription : — "Presented to Mr . Patrick John Barry , Hon . Secretary to the Remonstrance Repeal Committee , as a slight mark of their high respect for his talents and services . " Rotunda , Dublin , Nov . 3 , IS 4 G . " Mr . Barry having returned thanks in an appropriate speech , Mr . _Hayburne was moved to the chair , ansl a vote of thanks ' passed to Dr . West , for his dignified conduct therein

      , The meeting , having given several cheers for Dr . West , Xoung Ireland , and the Nation , separated in the most peaceable manner .

      The Fraternal Democrats. At The Meeting ...

      THE FRATERNAL DEMOCRATS . At the meeting of the Fraternal Democrats on Monday Evening last , Henry _Rass in the chair , Julian Haruey addressed the meeting , explaining the history and principles of the American Anti-Renters . The principles of the American Agrarian Reformers will be discussed at the next meeting on Monday , November lCth . _ 7 A Fatal' _Accidest occurred on the Manchester a _* d Leeds Railway , between the _Brinliouse and Eliand stations . Two plate-layers heard a luggage train upon the up-Iine , and stepped on the downline out of its way . At that instance the express train , from Manchester came down , and both of the men were killed before they could get out of the way . The morning was very foggy , aifd it is thought the men did not see the express train in time , and that the noise of the luggage train prevented them hearing it .

      Inquest . —Insalubrious Dwellings . —By Mr . Mills , at the White Horse , North-street , Fitzroy square , on the body of Caroline Waiters , aged three months , the offspring of Sarah _Warrteis , a dress maker . The deceased had been placed out to wet nurse with a woman named Brown , the wife of a porter , occupying an apartment over a close stable in North-mews , adjoining the above house . On Sunday morning last , about 3 o'clock , Airs . Brown suckled the deceased , afterwards laying it down by her side , and on waking at 8 o ' clock she found it quite dead . Ever since the child was born it had been afflicted with weak eyes , which had latterly become very sore

      and bad . The deputy _coroner remarked that he would have defied any one to have cured the bad eyes while the child lived where it did ; and the effluvium arising from the straw in ill-ventilated stablc 3 was the cause of so many horses going Wind . It was , he considered , a great pity , that where efforts were made to improve the dwellings ofthe poor , and a law passed forbidding living in kitchens , that stables , like the one they had witnessed , and other places similarly confined and unhealthy , had not been included . There being no reason te suppose tbat deceased died from other than natural causes , a verdict was recorded of " Found Dead . "

      Effects of SoFERSTirono . v . — An inquest was hald , on Monday , on the body of Mary Wolley , Minories . A short time ago , an Irishwoman residing in the same house lost some money , when , not being able to discover the thief , she called upon a fortune teller , who told her that some person in the house had stolen the money . She , in consequence , accused the deceased of the robbery , The charge hap such an effect upon her mind , that on Friday night she was found suspended by a handkerchief to the bedpost . A ' erdict _, " Temporary Insanity . " Great Distress in Paris . —120 . 000 persons have already caused their names to be inscribed as applicants for relief at the different _mayoralties in Paris .

      Loss of . Oxe _HuxnREn Lives . —Accounts received at Vienna from Austrian _Friuli , contain pat _ticulars of an unfortunate event that had lately occurred at dritz . A large number of soldiers and citizens were crossing a bridge of boats _ior the purpose of assisting at a military review , when suddenly the bridge , whieh was inadequate to support the weight with which it was loaded , broke down , and a great many of the persons upon it fell into the river . According to the most credible reports , fifty-three Cbasseurs and about forty citizens have perished n ths waters of lsonza .

      Marlborough Street. Elopement.—Mrs. Hamb...

      MARLBOROUGH STREET . Elopement . —Mrs . Hambrook , dressmaker , of New Bond-street , from whose house her niece had eloped a few days ago , came to this court to state that all the attempts of tbe police to trace tbe girl bad hitherto been unavaling . Mrs . Hambrook further said , that she wished to malie a reply to tho statements of one of her assistants , who with her father had made an application to the magistrate to get her boxes restored , and who was represented to have strongly denied all knowledge and participation in the wretched girl ' s flight . There was no truth iu this denial . The young woman , whose name was Parsons , was cognisant of a great deal more than she chose to avow Indeed , Miss Parsons had admitted as much to the police officer in thepresence of her father ,

      almost immediately after her return from mulling her application to the magistrate . After Miss Parsons returned to her house on Friday , it came out that she had been brought to town by a gentleman , who , after remaining with her some time , left her lodging at a public bouse in Soho , from which place she was turned out after ber clothes had been seized for rent . Miss Parsons , about a year ago , was introduced to a well-known house of infamy in King-street , and it was to this very bouse that her unfortunate niece had proceeded on theevening of her elopement . She had further ascertained tbat the keeper of this infamous house had been introduced to her niece by Miss Parsons , and that another person had been brought into her house by Miss Parsons , who had made up the dress which her niece took with her when she

      quitted the house . Her niece took away her clothes in a cab , and it was Miss Parsons who assisted her in effecting this object , and who had let her in on her return from depositing her clothes in King _' s-place . From particulars that bad been collected , she believed that Miss Parsons knew the gentleman with whom her niece hod eloped _; indeed , very little doubt existed on her mind that it was the same gentleman who had ee . dueed , and afterwards abandoned , Miss Parsons . She had asked Miss Parsons to tell her this gentleman ' s name , but she referred her to her father , who knew , she said , of her _misfortunes before she entered into her present situation . She ( applicant ) wished to know whether the

      magistrate could not compel Miss Parsons to disclose tho gentleman ' s name , and to state all she knew about the affair . Mr . Hard ivick replied he knew of no power which a magistrate possessed that could effect such a purpose . Mrs . Hambrook said tho parents and relatives of Miss Jarvis were in a state of great distress at her loss . 'The mother had received a letter from her fugitive daughter , dated Cambridge , and stating that she had got ' another situation in Cambridge , but from the tissue of deception throughout the whole affair , in which she considered her servants and some of her workpeople wero equally involved , she whs doubtful how far this clue could be relied oi .

      Mr . Uardwiclc said , if a girl chose to adopt a life of profligacy , he feared that neither parents , friends , nor _magistrates would be able to turn her from her infamous and degrading course , In this case a magistrate could give no further assistance . If the girl was discovered , and any article not absolutely her property was found ou her , she might be detained until her parents were apprised of her situation . This was all the advice and assistance he eould now render in this painful case . ( It does not appear on the face of the evidence "the girl chose a life of profligacy , " but rather , that she is one of the numerous victims of an infernal and organised system of seduction , by which wealthy monsters carry distress into the domestic circles of those who have not equally long purses . )

      SOUTHWARK . Complicated _Depravitv Margaret Filler , a good looking young woman , was charged with taking a quantity ot laundanum for the purpose of destroying herself . The defendant formed an attachment for a man named Yardley , carrying on business in Bermondsey , and' they had been en terms of intimacy for some months . On a recent occasion , however , she discovered that he was a married man , and acting upon the information she received , she went to his place of business for the purpose of upbraiding him for his duplicity towards her in not divulging the fact of his having already a wife . Subsequently she purchased a quantity of laudanum , in small quantities , at different chemists' shops , until she procured as much as would destroy several persons . She

      then proceeded to Yardlej ' _s house on Sunday , and requested to have an interview with him , declaring that she was about to leave town , and that it was the last she would require . She was then shown into the apartment where Yardhy and his wife were sitting , and , after addressing a few words to him , indicative of her feelings , drew forth a small bottle from her pocket _. and , conveying it to her mouth , immediately swallowed the contents . She was quickly conveyed to Guy ' s Hospital , and by the aid of the stomach pump saved from inevitable death . When placed at the bur she appeared weak and tremulous . The wife of the man Yardley stated , that to her own sorrow she had been recently made acquainted with

      the intimacy that existed between her husband and the defendant . She had made some inquiries relative to the defendant , and ascertained that * he was a married woman , and had at present a husband alive in London . The dtfendant said shat if all the circumstances were known , it would be found that her conduct was not so blameable as Yardley ' s wife would insinuate— -that she _regretted now that she had attempted to deprive herself « f life , and hoped the magistrate would permit her to returu l : oine . Mr . Seeker said that he should not feel justified in allowing her to be discharged after making . « uch a determined attempt to destroy herself . The defendant was then ordered to find bail , and in default was sent to gaol .

      MAttYLEBONE . Ahtful Fracd upon _Linehiibapebs . — Eliza Clarke , a very genteelly dressed young woman , was placed at the bar , charged with having , by means of false and _fraudulent representations , obtained goads from _Mendraperg , & c , and it is imagined that the prisoner has _recently victimised tradesmen to a very considerable extent . Jfr . T . E . Evans , High-street , Hampstead , deposed that , on Weduesday , the prisoner came to his shop , stating that her mistress , Mrs . Collins , of Heath-street , required a shawl , and that she wished some to be seut for her to choose from . She ( prisoner ) selected four , remarking that she thought one of them would suit , and while he ( prosecutor ) was putting tbem up in paper , he asked her how her master and mistress were , to which she replied that her master was always better in winter than at any other time ofthe year , and she also made some observations with respect to her mistress being a cross-tempered woman , who could not bear to be contradicted .

      Believing that was all right , and having been in the habit of supplying Mrs . Collins with drapery , Ac ., he gave the prisoner the parcel containing the shawls , aud she then went away , when , hearing nothing { respecting tho goods he had parted with , he , after some time had elapsed , went to Mrs . Collins , from which he ascertained tbat no one answering tbe description of the prisoner was in ber service , neither had she authorised any person to call upon him for shawls or any other article on the day named . It further appeared that , on Friday , the prisoner called at the shop of Mr . Naylor , in Ilanby-f . treet , Kentish Town , aud asked for some plaid shawls for ber mistress , a Mrs . Brown , of _Hanby-place , to whom Mr . Naylor immediately applied , and finding the statement was false , he followed the prisoner to Camden Town into the shop of a stnymaker , and gave her into custody . The prisoner denied having been into either of the shops , and it being understood that other _charges ofa similar character would be brought forward ugaiust her , she was remanded ,

      MANSION HOUSE . ATTEMPTED B . OBBEBY AT TUE BLAKWALL IUllWAI Station .- —A well dressed young man , who stated thai his name was Alfred Simpson , was brought before the Lord Mayor , on the charge of having attempted to picl the pocket of the Rev . Mr . Bird , of Chadivell , in Essex . The complainant said—Between three and four o ' clock on Saturday , as I was going along the platform of the BlacUwall Railway , through the doorway , I felt my _pockdt pulled , and on looking round , I saw my coat pockets pulled out , aud the prisoner withdrawing his hand , my

      purse at the same time falling down into my pocket . I accused the prisoner of attempting to rob me , which he denied , and he passed on to a railway carriage , into which I followed him . I there renewed my accusation , and he again denied it , and I asked him . whether he could satisfy me with a respectable reference or address . ' After some hesitation , he said that his name was Alfred Simpson , of Newington . I did not think that a satisfactory reference , but he would give no other , and upon arriving at Blackwall , I gave him into the custody of an officer .

      In answer to a question from the prisoner ' s solicitor , why he did not give him into custody at the London terminus , the prosecutor stated there was no police there . It was the same spot the Lord Mayor was robbed of his watch and seals , and at that time a similar complaint was made . The Lord Mayor gave the prisoner in this case the option of giving a respectable reference on the following day , or being sent to prison for fourteen days . " Which does he prefer V— " He prefers the latter , my lord . " ( Great laughter . )

She belonged to Frankficld , in the county Cork , and was a Protestant : She left Ireland about three months ago for the pupose of seeing her sister , who lived near Ratcliff-highway . On going to her sister ' s lodgings she found that she was at Plymouth with her husband , and not knowing what to do or where to go , she wandered about and nioetiug two women , _dresgod like ladies , who looked hard at her . she asked them if they could recommend her to nn honest lodging , as she hud nine sovereigns with her . , They said they could , and they

      took her to a house , where she remained a week . She could not tell the name of the street , but she could show the house if any one were sent with her .

      to his house , where she was three days , after which he took a lodging for her in the neighbourhood of Ratcliff-highway , where she remained until the fortnight was expired . Mr . Moore then sen t her with a letter to another clergyman , who gave her a shilling to got a bed in the neighbourhood that night , and the next morning he sent her in a cab with a female to the asylum of theGood Shepherd , where she had been for two months . She had been very kindly treated there , but they wo , ted her to change her religion , and become a Catholic which she refused to do . She attended mass , but rcfusad to attend confession . The nuns told her that none but Roman Catholics could be saved , and when [ she expressed her disbelief of _this , one of the nuns seized her by the throat , but she cried out , and the clergyman in the house came to her . Several of the catholic clergymen , who came to the asylum , came to tatk with her on religious matters , and she became excited on hearing Protestants

      spoken against ; the nuns asking the children _taugvt there where Protestants would goto , to which tlie answer was , that they would go to everlasting torment . On Saturday evening , being tired of being there on that account , she said she should leave and try to get into somo Protestant asylum , but they refused to let her go , and tried to force her to bed , and being much excited she did threaten that she would drown herself if they did not let her go . Inspector Morgan said , he had sent a sergeant to the asylum to make inquiries , who was told b y the superior that they were not aware of _» _ny of the proceedings stated by the prisoner , but that some ouo should attend at the court to explain . No one was , however , present . Mr . Clive ordered the prisoner to be removed from the bar , and at a subsequent period of the sitting , he gave direcions that she might bo passed over to Ireland by the parochial authorities .

Witness apprehended _| the prisoner , at the time stating tho charge made against him . The prisoner made no reply , but went quietly to the station-house . Witnsss saw the woman that morning , and she had promised to be in attendance ; but it appeared that she had keptoutof the way . The prisoner said his wife was a foul-mouthed woman , and had Matched his face before lie attempted to use the knife . Remanded for the attendance of his wife .

      Stabbing a Wife . —George Frost , a labourer , was brought up for final examination for a murderous assault on his wife . The wife of the prisoner attended , and said she had been married 32 years ; that she was very hasty , aud considered herself as much to blame as ber husband . She thought it a hard thing to be obliged to swear against him , Mr . Clive observed , that the witness must be sworn and recommended her to be careful that the account she now gave did not vary with the statements she had made at the police station on Sunday night . The witness having been sworn , deposed that , on Sunday last , she and her husband had both been partaking freely of beer , and had some high words . Her husband did not do any more to her than , in attempting to pass her husband , she found her arm cut , and went out ; and being seen by a policeman , he took her to a doctor ' s to have it dressed . Mr . Edwin Fennell _, surgeon , proved that the woman Frost had received a wound iu the

      fleshy part of the arm , which had been inflicted by a knife . The instrument had passed completely through the arm ; but , fortunately , avoided the larger vessels . John Payne , 11 V , acting inspector at Wandsworth station , proved that the wife had stated to him that she and her husband had some words _. and he threatened to stab hei He took a knife out of his pocket , and opened the blade , but he did not stab her with that one , but one from of ) tho table . She then struggled with him , threw him down , and wrenched the knife from him , after which she went to the police . The prisoner made answer tbat she had taken up a knife scores of times to him , and she replied that ihe had never used . it . Tbe prisoner then said , " I _oivn I did it , but it was all through jealousy . " The prisoner , whose defence was that be did not stab his wife intentionally , was fully committed for trial , upon the charge of cutting and wounding with intent to murder . His wife fainted on hearing the decision .

      WORSHIP-STREET . A Tbuant Wife . — A young man of respectable appearance , applied to the sitting magistrate far advice and assistance under the following circumstance !? : — About a month since he was convicted in the penalty o £ 2 for an assault upon a man named Smith , who lodged iu the same house as himself . He and his wife had been quarrelling , "nd Smith having interfered , complainant struck him . A warrant was subsequently applied for and obtained by Smith for the assault , complainant ' s wife appearing against him as the principal witness . Complaint was fined in the above penalty , or one month ' s imprisonment for the assault ; he , however , preferred

      the latter . His term of imprisonment expired on Saturday last , and although he had uot been visited by his wife during that period , but had , on the contrary , heard that she had , the second day after his incarceration , sold every particle of goods they were in possession of , he lost no time in proceeding to his late domicile , but on his arrival there , he found that every vestige oi clothing and furniture was removed , and his wife , although she had been advised to go to her friends , and which she promised faithfully to do so , was gone nobody knew where . The magistrate said she certainly had no right to take his goods away , and directed tbe officer who had charge ofthe case in the first instance , to assist the applicant in seeking the truant wife .

At three o'clock that morning the prisoner came home intoxicated . A quarrel ensued between her and her mother , when the prisoner seized her by the throat ; they struggled together for some time , until the prisoner forced the mother down to the bed , and held her until she was black in the face . Witness separated them , and the mother lay on the bed apparently lifeless . Witness instantly sent for a surgeon , and called in a policeman , who took the prisoner into custody . A surgeon attended , and the mother was restored to her senses . She said " She ( meaning the prisonev ) did it . " Haines , 143 S , deposed that , at half-past three o ' clock , he was called in , and

      found the mother to all appearance dead , lying on the bed . When she came a little to her senses , he inquired who it was that offered the violence to her 1 She replied , "She did it , " meaning the prisoner . Witness took the latterinto custody . The prisoner said several time ; , "I did it ; " and exclaimed " I will do it for all of them , one after the other . " Witness produced a surgeon's certiiicae to the effect that Henerietta Parker was lying in a dangerous state from the effects of violence by strangulation . —Mr . Combe inquired of the witness Jennings whether the marks of violence on the mother ' s neck were caused by the prisoner ' s hands t—Jennings : 1 cannot say whether by the hands or strings ofthe petticoat . —Mr . Combe asked the prisoner if she wished to say anything to the charge ?—Prisoner ( sullenly and indifferently ) - . I came home and she was drunk ; she began with me , and _struk me on the nose first . —Mr . Combe : Your mother's life is in danger ; this is a serious _chargo against you—pereaps she may die , 1 shall remand you until her fato is known , She was remanded ,

She declined this invitation and walked on , but he continued

      to follow her , and several times importuned her . On her arrival at the corner of South-street , near Britannia Fields , the prisoner seized her and told her to open her shawl , when she called out "Murder , " "Police , "keeping tight hold of her shawl . The prisoner then struck her a violent blow with his clenched fist on her mouth , which lacerated her lips , loosened several of her _toetb , one oi which was knocked out , and , dragging the shawl from her shoulders , be ran off with it . She bled very much , and was nearly stunned , but she called out " Stop thief , " and the prisouer was taken into custody . He was committed for trial .

      Six Irish labourers were charged with creating a riot , and violently assaulting several constables of the S division , and a number of other persons . At seven o ' clock on Monday morning the prisoners attacked indiscrinately almost every person they met in Clarendon-square and tbe streets adjoining . A policeman coming up , endeavoured to protect a gentleman whom he saw assaulted , when he was knocked down twice , and it was not until a large reinforcemeat of police came from the stationhouse that the riot could be quelled , and the prisoners locked up . Mr . Combe ordered each of them to pay a fine of 20 s ,, or be imprisoned one month ,

      i SOUTHWARK . " A Labk . "—A well dressed young man , named William Snow , was placed at the bar before Mr . Seeker , charged with stealing three whips , the property of Mr . Matthews , a boot and shoemaker , near the foot of Blackfriars-bridge . George Gray , shopman to the prosecutor , stated that on Monday afternoon , while attending to a customer in the shop , he was informed that a man had taken some whips away which were exposed for sale at the door , and had ran down Holland-street with them _, lie went in pursuit , and just as he turned the corner ho met the prisoner coming towards him . He instantly

      charged him with the robbery , which he at first denied , but afterwards laughed at him , exclaiming at the same time that he did take them , but it was " out of a lark , " and had hid them in a doorway in Holland . street , where they were subsequently found . The prisoner made quite a joke of the affair while in the dock , and said he was a respectable man , and that be did not intend to commit any act of felony . Mr . Seeker said that it was a very dangerous sort of lark ; his answer did not appear very satisfactory to him . Prisoner : The fact is , your worship , the man who gave me in charge is , as you percieve , a dwarf , and on that account all manner of tricks

      Marlborough Street. Elopement.—Mrs. Hamb...

      are played upon bim by boys aud others who pass the shop ; as I was passing the shop on Monday I tooS the whips from the door for a lark , and fully intended to have brought them back , or I should not have told him . where they were . Mr . Seeker said the prisoner ' s defence was extraordinry , and one which would not justify his taking the whips—he should not commit him for trial , but fine him 20 s . for the unlawful possession , and he hoped it would be a warning to him not to practise such larks again _.

      WESTMINSTER . Gross Outrage on a Female . —On Thursday , Samuel Han-is , a tall , powerful fellow , about fifty years of age , was charged with the following gross outrage upon Elizabeth Collens , a modest-looking young female , who resides with her parents in Chapman-street , St- George ' _s-in-the-East . —Tho complainant , who appeared to be suffering so severely from the brutal injuries inflicted upon her by defendant as to be scarcely able to stand , said that she was walking along Knightsbridge on the previous evening , when defendant , who was a perfect stranger to her , suddenly crossed the road , and , throwing his

      arms round her neck , said he wanted to kiss her . She endeavoured to push him away , but he held her so tightly by the throat as almost to choke her , and suddenly stooping , assaulted her in the most indelicate manner . She called " _Tolice _^ as wel l as she was able , on which he struck her -Wthe face . He then threw her upon the ground , falling heavily upon her , and , seiziDg her by the throat , kicked her three times in the side , and again struck her on the side of the head . Some persons came to her assistance , and the ruffian was secured . —Defendant , in reply to the charge , said he might have just touched her . Mr . Burrell convicted defendant in the full penalty of £ 5 . In default of payment , he was committed for two months .

      SOUTIIWARK . Atr Actkess in _Disthess , —On Friday , Mary Camp _, bell , a woman who bad evidently seen more prosperous days , but whose present appearance betokened much distress , and who was accompanied by four children , was charged with breaking a pane of glass in St . Saviour ' s union workhouse . It appeared that about four o ' clock on the preceding day , the defendant came to the gate , and wanted admission for herself and four children , and being informed that the rules prescribed tbat the casual poor were not to be admitted until sis o ' clock , at which i time she and the children would be taken in , she said

      that two of the children were sick , and that she was tired and faint jwith walking about , and again besought the porter to admit them ; but he told her he could not , when she took up a stone and broke a pane of glass . She admitted that she had done it for the purpose of either being taken into the workhouse or to the station-house . The value of the pane of glass _iraB two shillings . From the defendant ' s answers to Mr . Seeker it appeared that she and her hnsband had beeu actors at the Edinburgh Theatre , but be died , after a protracted illness , in that city , eighteen months ago , and the expenses , and the loss of his earnings , had reduced her and her children to distress . About nine months

      ago she and her chtldrencame up to London , with the view of her obtaining a livelihood , but she totally failed in her applications for an engagement at any of the theatres , and endearonred by needle-work to obtain the means of living for her family . In this latter capacity she had striven hard to maintain her children but failed , and being compelled from absolute want to pledge every decent article of her own and her children's to get them bread , nud being in arrear of rent for their lodging , she was obliged to leave it , and has since been sleeping _, in the different union workhouses Mr . Seeker

      said that the destitute condition of tbe defendant and her children was much to be deplored , but still , as the regulations of the workhouse were that casual poor , were not to be admitted until a certain hour in ihe evening , the porter had obeyed orders by refasing her and her children admission until the proper time had arrived . Under the peculiar circumstances ofthe case , ho had no doubt , if the defendant went before the board of guardians , and described her situation to them , they would readily give ber and ber children an asylum in tbe workhouse , until some steps were taken for sending them back to Scotland , to which they belonged . He regretted to hear the defendant ' s husband had not belonged to the Theatrical Fund , but probably if her present misfortunes were known to the profession , some assistance would be rendered . The porter of tbe workhouse was then directed to take the defendant and her children back again to the workhouse , and to explain what had taken place at this court .

      SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE . _~~* _viSft- _" _- ! " _, _« _^ r Measure" was renliw . tlU u ?? , on We _^» day evening , " _igj . bella' was beautifully and grandly played by Mis Laura Ad «« on . Her scen _/ with Angelo was maenf Scent . Equally _po-verful was the scene whiSS " lows with her brother Claudio . How erandiv _A \\ she the feeble girl inspirit the tin , W bSher tot cept death rather than dishonour ; and how ZljZ in the native dignity did fhe appear to those X could consent to set life in the one seal andKu in the other . The Angelo of Mr . George _Bannett was a fine piece of acting . Mr . Phelps , a ! fte _' DtuV went through a very heavy uphill character with tha test taste and judgment . Mr . Marston ' s CJaudio _mu finely conceived . Mr . Scharff acted Pomnev _JsS

      that grotesque humour which " almost makes him unique m his profession ; and the foppish Lucio was played by Mr . lloskins in a manner so pointed that scarcely one of his speeches but told upon the audi _, ence . Ihe house was crowded to suffocation .

      ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE . On Monday Herr Steinbrecot , Stallmeister ( trans . lated in ithe bills " Master ofthe Horse" ) to the king of Prussia , and his beautiful horse Setel Vennat , made their first appearance here . This gentleman ' s exhibition does not consist of the usual _equeg . trian feats . His part waa merely to display the fine training of his steed , which is certainly one of the moat beautiful animals tbat can be imagined . Ha put it through a variety of the most graceful _pacei showing , at the same time , his own admirabl e seat on horseback . Tbe other performances were « usual , excellent . '

      PRINCESS'S THEATRE . Of all the contemporaries of Shakespeare , _perhano Massmger in the delineation of human character ' where strong feeling and ardent passion are evinced ranks the most celebrated ; indeed , some writer ' . have estimated his powers so high , as to place him eeual to the bard , who wrote not for " an age butX _?•!!¦ . _£ ' _MaMingw-Vplay of » A New Way to Pay Old Debts , " was selected on Wednesday _evenine at _tbePrincess ' s , to give the English public an onnw . tunity otwitnessing Mr . J . R . Scott , from theS _cipal American theatres , m the character of Sir Giles Overreach . The denouement of the nieca abounds with an impressive lesson , wherein avarice pride , and ambition meet with that ruin and _disaraca which such vices seldom fail to engender . The cl ? racter is ably and vigorously drawn , but _disnlavT

      throughout , a tissue of hardened and heartless vit lainy , almost incredible for human nature to assume . Messenger , true in his delineations of li _* has not in this play established a fiction ; lie studied the vices as well as the virtues of mankind , and has given to posterity in this ambitious man , a picture revolting to _humanitj , and which , in our owndav amidst the progressive intelligence around us ever can have a parallel . The character , odious _ts it i < _- wa 3 admirably sustained by Mr . Scott , and the coti . tending passions that invade the breast of Sir Giles Overreach , when he finds his schemes of villainy frustrated , were exhibited with a power and judgment that indicated not only just conception tat likewise great ' talent in the histrionic art . We have seen iu . former days the renowned Edmund Kean in this character , and if _acompa * _i-ison can be made , we would give the palm tothe acting which we witnessed on , Wednesday ; for , with Ul Kean's transcendint talent , lie was often too

      _extravagant in those ebullitions and gusts connected with tbe darker feelings . Mr . Scott ' s performance bespoke an intimate knowledge of his art , and hi } efforts were amply done justice to by the ' . unbounded applause of a crowded audience . The play was ia every iespect well cast . Mr . James _Vining's personation of Wellborn was excellent , whilst Mr . Comp _.-ton ' s Marrall , if it had lacked a little less subserviency , would have been all that could be desired , Mr . Granby ' s Justice Greedy excited much laughter ; his propensity for gormandising forcibly reminded us of those "fat and greasy citizens" of the present day , who , amidst the wretched condition of many of their poorer brethren that at tin ' s moment are perishing by famine , never lose sight of their gorgeous feasts . The piece was announced for repetition , and we doubt not that the manager will meet with a just reward for bringing forward an actor , who , from the specimen of his abilities which we havo seen , bids fair to become the first actor of the day .
