TOUXG lBEl _^ XD . Mr . _O'Buiex has addressed a second letter to Mr . Puffy of the Nation . The following contains its pith : — A considerable number of indiviilua _' s , who are _ardently devoted to ike cause of Krpeal , having _bten ercluik'd from the lt _** peal Association because they are UliwiUiiig to subscribe a test imposed for reasons which are not yet fully understood _br tlie public , are naturally led to seek other opportunities throug h the means of which they may be enabled to laVour in the service of their comstrj-. I _* o other _organisation bein _*; at present available , it seems to us that the A ' _atiffH newspaper may be advantageously made an organ forgiving utterance to the opinions of men of tills class .
We do not contemplate any _interfrrtnee with the editorial department of your newspaper , nor with jour arrangements for giving that * nf . _* _ruiatioii respecting passing events _nhich every newspaper is expected to convey to the public ; but we ask nhelher it be compatible iriih the essential _requlrc-m-nts of jour journal to dedicate an assigned s _^ ace to the reception ot such papers , letters , _essays , _rusgestioa , criticisms , _< fcc , as may be supplied by ¦ _writtrs whose capacity for affording instruction to the people has been sufficiently tested ? It is net necessary nor desirable to l _« y down any unalterable plan f ... r earning into _tffect Ibis suggestion ; but 1 am _exposed to think that it would be sufficient to allot weekly _eyht or ten columns of your publication to _»! :- <• purpose contemplated in this proposal . Tht pap .-rs ought to he short , _ttrs-e , and well considered . Ia no case should an article exceed two columns .
I am much p leased with the title which Mr . 0 Oonuell bas , by way of dcri _" _-ioa , bestowed upon us—the Phalanx —the * _Xiiional _Tiialanx—the Patriot Phalanx—tlie Irish _l'halans ; any of these denominations cannot fa 1 to be _M be acceptable to men who are struggling for On- rights of ? hcir native land . We trust and believe , that this pbalaux—wieWins no other weapons than those of reason and truth—may hereafter become formidable to the _eueaiits . of our country . Air .

MR . _snABUAN CRAWFORD ASD HIS _TEKASIRT . By way of contrast to the above unadulterated trash rnd humbug , we beg attention to the _fullo-viu _^ from the Broqhtda Argus : — On Tuesday last that truly benevolentlandlord William Sharinaa Crawford , Esq ., convened a meeting of the tenantry of bis estate at Staleen , county Heath , for _tlu * pur'ioie of taWug measures to enable them to puss safely through the prescntseason of distress and to improve their condition inthe future . In accordance with hissentiinents on the tenant right he has set a glorious example to the landlords of ilea th .
At the neeting on Tuesday he stated that he would allow his tenants the value ef any improvements they _mabe npon their holdings at any time they may wish to relinquish Uiem . He wiU himself take the farm in anj such event , and allow compensation , or he will permit the retirui'j tenant to sell his right to any other personwith the sole proviso tbat the solvency of the offered purchaser be satisfactorily shown to the landlord . He said iuure-be offered to advance momy for the purpose of draining ana Other such _permanent improvements to any tenant who wishes to avail himself ot the offer , and sums 1 , 0 advanced he will take back at five per cent , until it be repaid .

Denis Walsh , aud others , who , by au arrangement , will levy a sufficient sum from the several holdings , onebalf of which be authorises them to deduct from his rent for the year . It is evident that the extent of employment i _kelj tobe given by the improvement of tbe lands will

leave little pressure upon this fund , and to reduce that pressure further Mr . Crawford has given directions to have tbe land tilled which he had in bis own occupation under cattle . These are the wise and statesmanlike means by which this practical landlord shuts out famine ind _psstilcnee from his tenantry , and secures their _future comforts . Nor is this the first occasion on which he _carried into effect the principles he advocates in relation to dip occupation of land . Well convinced of the soundness o _( the small-farm system within proper regulations , he has divided into sixty holdings the same quantity of land which was held by five tenants when it came into his possession . * Look on this picture and on that !" STATU OF TIIK COUNTRY .
Bonus . Nov . 10—In the _accountsr-ceived this morning there is nothing to alter the opinion already _xpressed respecting the gradual improvement in the condition of the country . Very few outrages are veiortsd , and none of them are of a very serious character . There is still , doubtless , a fearful amount of destitution , much greater than has existed in ordinary periods of scarcity . But , as the public works extend , a decided change for the better is apparent amongst the peasantry . The relief associations are spreading , and soup kitchins are now becoming very general . In most counties the resident landlords arc exerting themselves in a very creditable manner to promote measures suitable to the emergency ; and in some districts new presentment sessions have been called fur , in order to substitute drainage anil other productive works for roads and _useless projects which liuve already been presented for .
The excitement appears to be wearing itself out , and the increase of employment afforded by tho Board of Works , coupled with the favourable reaction ( to the consumer ) in the prices of provisions , affords a strong hope that the disease has been brought to a favourable crisis , and that a gradual amendment may be henceforward regarded as certain although slow . At the Corn Exchange , this day , prices of all kinds ot grain , owing , ot course , to the nature of the last advices from America , met an advance , but , considering that the supply was short , the rise was extremely insignificant , not exceeding sixpence per barrel . The arrivals of Indian corn continue to increase both here and at the southern ports Four more vessels , _loden with neavy cargoes of this grain , have arrived at Cork since Saturday last , aud further importations are daily expected .
_Coxstitotio- _"* op ltELiBF Committees . — the Lord-Lieutenant lias , in consideratiou of the complaints made _respecting the exclusion of curates of the Roman Catholic Church from Relief Committees , given instructions permitting parish priests to nominate one curate on each relief committee sitting within his cure , for every parish of which that cure consists .
_D 110 GHEDA . —STATE OF TIIE PEOPLE . ( From our Correspondent . ) The people here are in a wretched state . Already are tbey _shewing signs of their distress by the committing of petty larcenies . The pawn offices are filled to repletion with the clothes and effects of the starving inhabitants . The rich men of the town are doing notliinir to mitigate the distress ; no Baronial Sessions have been _helil . Many instances are known of families subsisting for a whole day on one meal , that too of the coarsest description of food ; our streets thronged with crowds of hungry men , women and children . It is lamentable to see the apathy of our local _jwlriots nothing doing , no plans of relief are being set on foot to feed the people . Verily they are false shepherds , ' who , while there is
peace ,-live on their flocks , but as soon as the dangers enter the fold , flee from their charge , and _leive their herds a prey to the destroyer . Hunger has afflicted , and is afflicting many . Disease superinduced by hunger , is making rapid strides among the people . _Dysentry pre . vails to au alarming extent . Still our intelligent _Nabobs see no causa for tbe exercise of _Cliristiun charity , beyond raising their eyes to heaven , calling on the Almighty to leave his throne , and come down among us mortals , to do—what!—to open their drawers and take some of the sweat and blood coined money hoarded by their pious rich men in their coffers . There is no way to avert the present famine creared b y the aristocracy , but by taking- their unjust and ill-gotten treasures from _thosebeches who have sucked thelifes'blood out ofthe
_people's hearts . Amid this shameful dereliction of duty , it is consoling to think that one man has had the manliness to declare that those dependant on him shall not starve . That man is William S . Crawford , Esq ., the noble member for Rochdale . He has an estate in tbe county of Men th , about three miles from this town , he visited his _tenants on Tuesday , November 3 rd , called thorn all together , and , in the presence of the Iter . Mr . Walsh , F . r ., told them to appoint a committee to inquire into the state of the labouring poor on bis estate to assess tbe various holdings thereon , and that the . sum raised for the relief of the poor , he would pay the half of . lie also gave orders to have all the land nnder grazing cattle broken up , and told ihe tenants whatever money they required for improving tbeir farms , he would
advance them at a small rate of interest , adding that , if they at any time felt disposed to leave their farms , they might sell tbeir right in them , or he himself would pay them In full for any and every improvement they should make , But to crown all his other acts of kindness , he gave 1 strong proof that he understands the real grievance of the country to be the monopoly of the land in the _liatds of a few . The leases of five of his tenants having expired , he divided their holdings into sixty separate farms . Well may Rochdale be proud of its member and Dundalk . How has it suffered by driving Mr . Crawford fi 0111 its representation . Represented now by a brainless buffoon , whose only claims on the _intelligent electors of that borough as he himself assured them , is that" He is his father ' s son !"
ABA . XD 0 XMKNT OF THE O ' COXXEIA TRIBUTE . The tribute of 1846 is _abandoned , and the formal announcement of the fact will appear forthwith in t ' ie pompous language of that indefatigable financier , Patrick Vincent Filzpatrick , Esq ., secretary to the trustees . There was an amusing tale told on the tenth by one of the actors in the little national drama , which . should not be kept from the world at this _monoti-nous period . About three weeks a _« o the witty secretary waited upon Sir John Power with the draft of an address to the people of Ireland _, reminding them cf the manifold services of O'Connell , and fixing Sunday , the 20 tb of Xovembar , for the simultaneous collection of the tribute for 1 S _10 : and this he presented to Sir John
for his signature , with that nonchalance for which he stands unrivalled . Poor Sir John—whose mind is as like that of Mr . Pickwick as 13 his outward man ( aud who that has ever seen our famous distiller will not admit that the likeness is perfect ) -Sir Jo iii stood amazod , and eyed through Irs capacious spectacles his own name , _tn _^ _jeneit , at the foot of a composition of unusual length and eloquence . At last he mustered up sufficient courage to request the secretary to give him a _dty or two to consider the matter , " and consult with ids nominal co-trustee , Mr . Cornelius _M'Loughlin . The worthy officer , in well-feigned surprise , bowed assent , intimated his intention of being there again within the two _davs , and retired . Iu the meantime the
_btnevolent old baronet had a conference with his cotrustee , who had evidently considered the matter , expressed no astonishment at anything coming from such a quarter , and recommended a more extended consultation . Accordingly , a meeting of the friend *; of the " Liberator" was held some days attcrwards at the house of Mr . Fitzpatrick _, where Sir John Power and Mr . M'Loughlin bnth expressed their doubts of the propriety of issuing any appeal on his behalf for a * ' little " time until the apprehensions of famine , then SO prevalent , should have subsided . Some of the party were for proceeding in what they termed the ordinary course , but it was ultimately arranged that circulars should be addressed to all the active collectors ,, clerical and lay , wim were still deemed faithful to the Liberator , seeking their opinion as to the probable succtss of smother appeal . The story runs , that in a short time a bach of replies were received from all parts ,
MilIiciciittoen : ihle the friends to form an estimate of the general state of publie feeling on the subject . Some of these were point-blank against anything of tlie kind , and the writers entered into no reasons for tbeir opinions ; others hoped for a postponement until after Christmas , when they doubted not that all talk of famine should have ceased—whilst a third and the most numerous class of objectors , candidly said , that in consequnce oi the late split in Conciliation Ilall , aud the spread of Young Ireland principles , little or nothing could be expected even were the potatoes sound and plenty Tin s aggregate collection of opinions from all parties settled the business . A motion , postponing the " appeal" for two months , was put to the vote and carried , to the evident sorrow ol Patrick Vincent Fitzpatrick , who calculated upon raising £ 10 , 000 at least , which at ten per cent , would leave , according lo _Cocker , £ 1000 as his own fee .
It may be said that such a good thing as this tribute has proved will not he allowed to expire , and that after Christmas the appeal may be expected . _Derrynane must be supported , and , if the people don ' c pay the " Ileut , " tho Whigs must .

Tiiames-Street . Excessive Distress.-On ...
_TIIAMES-STREET . Excessive Distress .-On Thursday , Jame 8 dark Lee , a sworn broker and appraiser , lodging at the B _, ue Anchor , Stepney , appeared before Mr . Ballatitino to answer a charge of having been guilty of an irregularity and excess in making a distress . Mr . Pelhan , appeared f or the prosecution and stated the case , winch appeared to be a most aggravated one , and illustrated hi a forcible manner the _mal practices of brokers . The defendant was employed in May last to levy a distress on the goods and chattels of the compla i nant , _IVodcritk Willumette , a fishmonger , . and tobacconist , of No . 115 , _Hlgh-street _, 1 _' oplar , for arrears of rent , amounting to £ 3 lis . fid ., due to Mr , Dent , and he seized property which cost the tenant £ 14 I 8 s . two years' previous . An inventory was made , and tho defendant did not include in it a jug , bason , and cane basketwhich
, he ought to have done . Tlio goods were removed to the sale room of Mr . Johnson , the auctioncr , in the Mile-end road , the day after the levy , for the purpose , as alleged by the defendant , of impounding them , but the defendant sold _agreat portion of them immediatel y afterwards to Johnson for £ a 17 s . Gd . and removed lie remainder including four chairs and a quantity of chimney ornaments and crockery to somo other place . There was no appraisement or condemnation ofthe goods , nor was any constable called in , or any of the forms of law observed . Tim complainant never received any account relating to the disposal of the goods or the amount they produced . He applied repeatedly to the defendant on the subject , and he _alwaysput him off with the excuse that his goods remained on the premises of Mr . Johnson , who had not been selling by auction since they were seized , and that directl y he had a . sale , the goods would be submitted to public comuetitiun .
After some further investigation , Jfr . Ballantyne said thegoodsbad not been _legally disposed of , and there was much bad conduct and irregularity in the management of the distress . A portion of the furniture and effects of the complainant had been sold for £ 5 17 s . Gd ., aud he was informed the value of tbem was from £ ' 9 tojElO . He would take the-smaller sura , £ 9 , and he ordered the difference between that sum and £ 3 lis . Gd . to be paid to the complainant , and the goods uot disposed of to be returned to him—Tho defendant : I have not got them . —Mr . ; Ballantine * . I do nut care about that . I shall make my Order , and you shall take the consequence of not complying with it . —The decision was received with a murmur of applausg from a crowded Court .
MARYLEBONE . Robbery and Attempted Suicide in a _Ceii . —Jane Kelly was charged with the following robbery : —The prisoner went to the shop of Mr . Ormston , cheesemonger , Crawford-street , and contrived to secrete a piece of bacon beneath her shawl . She was going away with it when she was stopped by Mr . Ormston , and asked what she had got . She immediatel y gave up the property , at the same time offering-, if he would not prosecute her , that she would pay him one shilling a pound for it . Mr .
Hawlinson—what have you to say to the charge t The prisoner ( very much affected ) replied that she was the wife ofa poor labourer out of employment , with three children , and what induced her to commit this act she could not tell . Committed to the session for trial . The prisoner was removed from the bar to the lock-up , in a state of great excitement . Whilst confined in one of the cells she made an attempt to -jut an end to her existence , by hanging herself with her garter ; but her design was frustrated by a young woman who was locked up with her .
_sorjTirwAitK . PtUNDEBlNO A CouNTtttMAif . — Henry Jones was charged by John Ilill , an engineer , with being concerned with two other men ( not in custody ) in _robbing him ot £ 8 . The complainant had recently come up to town , and , while gazing at the Wellington staue in front oftlie Royal Exchange , Jones accosted him , and after he ascertained he was from the country , induced him to cross London bri ' lge , and enter a public-house , near the Queen ' s Bench . A game of cards was bere proposed , and , after allowing him to win a few games , they won six sovereigns from him ; he then , by their advice , pledged his watch for eight _sovereigos , and they recommenced playing , during which time the prisoner and an accomplice escaped with his coat containing the money . They were subsequently apprehended , and were identified as the persons who had addressed him sear the st » tue . The : prisoners said they were mistaWen for ' other individuals , They were remanded , to discover their associates in the robbery .
Murderous Assault on a Police Constable . —On Monday , John Miller , a very desperate ruffian , a coalwhipper , who is well known to the police , was charged with having committed a very _aggravated assault on Thomas "Burns , a police constable , in the execution of his duty . The policeman ' s jaws were tied up with a handkerchief , aud he had some difficulty in making himself understood . He stated that on _Sunuay- night he saw tho prisoner in company with two prostitutes in High-street , Shadwell . They were using obscene language , and he desired them to move on . They went ou , but after a short time repeated their disgusting conduct . The prisoner was standing against a post , and he told him to move on . and at thu same time laid hold of his
arm , and told him he should be compelled to lock him up if be did not lUoveon . The prisoner immediately stepped off the kerb into the road , and gave him a violent blow on the jaw . He was staggered by thu blow , aud his hat fell off . The prisoner ran away , but witness pursued and overtook him iu Cornwall-street , about a quarter of a mile from the spot whi re ho was struck . The blow , he said cut his chin nearly to the extent of three inches in length , and ip depth it extended to the bone . One of his back teeth , previously a very sound one , was splintered "by the jerk of the jaw , " and he lost a good deal of blood . He did not think the man ' s fist would have produced such a wound ; he believed it was done with some instrument . Committed lor trial .
On Tuesday , Mr . J . Sinnott , an extensive dust contractor , was summoned at the instance of tile parochial authorities of Christciiurch , Blackfriars , for sufl ' ering a nuisance to exist in a portion of that parish , calculated to be _highly prejudicial to the health of the inhabitants . A solicitor on the part of the parish described that tlie defendant was the occupier of extensive premises adjacent to Upper Ground-street , near the foot of lllackfriurs-bridge , on the Surrey side , and ealled Jamaicawharf . Ou those premises the defendant hud accumulated an immense quantity of animal and vegetable matter in the shape of the sweepings of the streets and tht * markets , and other offensive matters , all of which
were collected together in that placo , and the stench from which on occasions was quite overpowering , and necessarily must be injurious te the health of those who conit . within the sphere ofits influence . The neighbourhood where this pestiferous heap was allowed to accumulate was a densely populated one , and there was abundant proef to show that disease was engendered by the foul gasses emitted from such a heterogeneous mass ot animal and vegetable matter . The solicitor here handed in a certificate signed by two medical practitioners , setting forth that they had viewed the defendant ' s premises , and that the filth and rubbish there collected emitted such an effluvium as was calculated to be most prejudicial to the public health .
One of the gentlemen present , Mr . _Doubleday , a surgeon , of _Blackfriars-read , iu the course ofliis examination , stated , that when he vie . _ved the premises , the stench arising from the heaps of filth collected there was of t ' ie most ofiensire description , and lie could aver , from his own experience , was injuiious to health , for he attended a family residing near the spot , most of whom _xverc attacked with fever ; ami he had no doubt the disease was produced from their contiguity to . the place where such abominable filth was suffered to exist . He then gave an instance of the tffscts of the deleterious nature of the gaseous matter emitted from tha heaps in the place , by saying that a piece of fresh-killed muttou wns suspended near the spot , and that in less than a quarter of an hour it was iu a state of putrescence . He
added that he should not have signed tbe certificate produced if the nuisance complained of "aa not of the most _dangerous description to tho health of the inhabitants of the locality . Mr . Charles Knight , manager of a eoalwharf adjacent to the premises , suited that prior to the defendant becoming the occupier , Jamaica-wharf was a timber-yard . Since , however , he had taken the place , he had converted it into a lay-stall for the reception of filth of every description . The witness had seen cartloads of putiid geese , rotten eggs , und otUer offei . _slve matters brought into the _prtmisvS and shot out into the midst of other equally impure materials . Iiis own health and tbat of his family had suffered materially ever since such a place was allowed to exist . On the
part of the defendant it was contended that the effects likely to be produced by tho business he carried on were very much exaggerated , and that the public , instead of c-otnplaimn : _* : , ought to bo thankful for having tin * streets and markets cleared , and the rubbish conveyed away . Mr . Seeker said the public would have no mason to complain , if the offensive materials were consigned to such a place as were not likely to iuterfere with health , but that shooting such matters in a densely populated iieighbourhng was most improper , and he should therefore make an _^ order on the defendant to remove the nuisance within 48 hours ; _otherwise ulterior proceedings , of a more stringent character , would be taken against him , ' •'

andsal . 1 that he ( the prisoner ) had better llOt gO nGai the house , in case of any disturbance . The prisoner then endeavoured to persuade her not to return to her louRing , but she expressed her intention to sleep there that night , and accordingly parted with him about forty yards from the house . She then walked forward , and just as she was about to go up the steps to knock , at tho door , she was seized round the neck from behind , and in a moment she felt that her throat was cut , and also felt _thi blood trickling down her bosom . She saw on turning round , that the prisoner was the person who had inflicted the wound , and he said
something , but she did not remember the words , and then ran up thestrcct towards St . George ' s Church . Many persons soon collected , some of whom wenfin pursuit of her _asbnilant , while others supported her , and conveyed her to the surgery of Mr . It . Evans , near the spot , and he bandaged up the wound , and had her forthwith conveyed in a cab to Guy ' s Hospital , in which she had beett confined as a patient until that day . The prisoner said . Sholeftme on the _nijht in question , to accompany another man to the house , from which I was shut out , and I was vexed . I had been eating bread and cheese , and had a knife in my hand . I was much agitated , and scarcely knew what I did . Mr . Seeker committed the

The prosecutrix , who was accompanied by her mother , who had a beautiful babe in her arms , two months old , appeared in the witness-box very much affected . It appeared from her statement that she resided with her mother at Chippenham , where she became acquainted with the prisoner . He paid his addresses to her , and an illicit intercourse was carried on between them , _theresoit of which was the birth of a child . The prisoner came to London , and a few weeks ago she received a
letter from him , proposing that she should come to London with the child , and she was to meet him in the _City-road , where he was living with bis cousin . She showed the letter to her mother , and subsequently she life her mother with her child with the intention of walking to London , aud seeing the _prisoner , but on being missed by her mother she pursued witness , and overtook her at Marlborough , when they travelled up together to London on foot , and met the prisoner in the Oily-road . On finding the mother with her he became enraged , and threatened that ho would be revenged and dafh _, her brains out . The prisoner denied h & ving threatened the prosecutrix as described , or being the father of tho child . He also denied having sent a letter to her , requesting
the prosecutrix to come to London with the child . Mr . Greenwood had no doubt that he , had sent the letter to induce the girl to come to London with the child , but on seeing her mother with her he became annoyed and disappointed . The least he eould do , as he had been instrumental in bringing them up to London , would bo to enable them to go back again by advancing them the means . As the threat had been proved , and as the prosecutrix swore that the was in fear of her life , he must order him to find two resp : _itable housekeepers as bail to keep the peace . Thepiisoner was then locked up , but subsequentl y agreed to give two sovereigns to enable the parties to return to Chippeuham , and under an assurance that he had no intention to harm any one , he was liberated .

He ealled tor a glass , and took out his purse to pay to * it , but the dele . idant caught hold oftlie purse , which he snatched out of his fingers and handed to one of his accomplices . Complainant immediately seized him and gave him into custody . The defendant denied having had anything to do with the . purse . He was remanded .

The prisoner had also two boxes in the room , both of which irere broken open , and a portion of the contents of one strewd about the floor . Hearing that the prisoner had gone out iu the evening to a _coffi-e-house , he sent for him , and upon his return , he ( the prisoner ) said , "Oh ! I have been robbed myself ,
too ; my walch , coat , two waistcoats , and two pair of trousers , have been lately taken away by thieves . ' 1 hepnsoner had latterly beeuin distressed circumstances , und the witness had supported him for nearly two years . Inspector Penny , of the G division stated that , owing to the latter circumstances , and the fact that tbe prisoner had yesterday been seen with £ 40 , and that he bought some new dresses fora _stylish-looking female , iu Iheobold _' s . _ruad , a strict watch was kept upou him by lour constables who lodged in the house . On searching him £ 40 , in soverei gns and half sovereigns were found , aud amongst the latter was one of a peculiar description , which the prosecutor identified as having _betn amongst those in his box . .

He had been sitting on the middle _hor & e , which was without reigns , and he struck one of the poor animals most desperately about the head with the butt-end of the whip . The horse full , and the brute struck it even more brutaliy when down . The Lord Mayor expressed his indignation at the conduct of the defendant , and was about to fine him to the utmost extent , when he suddenly learned that tho fellow had a very large family , nud that the affliction would inevitably fall upou the head of his wife and children . The Lord Mayor ( to the defendant ) : You deserve the weightest punishment , but I cannot think of punishing your wife ami children . The sentence of the court is , that jou pay a fine of 10 s ., or to be confined in the House of Correction for 14 . days . Tho defendant thanked his lordship , and paid the fine .

Mr . Shillinglord stated , that as he was walking along Cheapside the defeudent roughly pushed agaiust him without the . least provocation , and on being remonstrated with , struckjhini . The defendant subsequently , on being given into the _caro ofa _polictmun , apologise , and the apology was " conconsidered sufficient atonement . The Lord Mayor hav . ing asked whether the defeudent appeared to be under the influence of strong drink of any kind ? Mr . Weare said he had had no refreshment excepta bowl of soup at Alderman Birch ' s , and upon coming out and walking quietly and inoffensively down Clieapside , he was pushed and hustled about in a most unceremonious manner , although he strietly kept to his side of the wall .
Irritated by such treatment in a great public thoroughfare , he had behaved rudely to the gentleman who complained , under the erroneous impression that Mr , _Shillingford was amongst those who elbowed him about . The Lord Mayor—Which do you consider to be your side of the wall ? Mr . Weare—' consider that when my left side is next to the wall , I am entitled to the wall . The Lord Mayor—You were wrong iu your opinion ofthe generally unocrstcod practice for the public accommodation , which is , that those whose right hands are next to the wall are entitled lo the wall . Mr . Weare—Indeed ! I had no notion of such a thing . 1 come from the country , and ti . erethe left baud always goes to the wall , ( A . laugh . ) The Lord Mayor—Such is the necessity in this crowded city for a regulation of the kind , that even ladies ore not sanctioned in violating it . Mr . . Shillingford said , the assault , as an assault , was not at all worth speaking about . The Lord Mayor—If Mr . _Shillingfoid is satisfied with your opol"gy , I see no reason why I should disappiove of it . The defendant then left the bar .

citizens beforre the magistrate , who had been celebrating Lord Mayor's , day , that Mr . Long had to be reminded by the clerk that it was Ihe Prince of Wales birthe _' ay . )—The defendant : I had been jolly , and celebradng the day Hue a loyal Welshman _£ but when this man came across me I was at my own door . Your worship the keyslipped from my _finders , i couldn ' t find it , and this constable , iustcad of helping me to open the door , took me to the station-house . That ' s all . —Mr .

His wife , too , who was in the crowd , seemed to be alarmed at the mention ofthe same house of call for flying dustmen and their partners , for she bustled up to him and said , in an undertone , "Here , Harry , I got the blunt . Dub up , you brg _^ ar , and cut this hei e dangerous spot . " The expenses paid , the flying dustman and his wife bowled down the back stairs with professional rapidity , and disappeared .
