The circumstances are briefly these , a gentleman named Hall had missed some chaff , poor Slatter was his neighl \ j ur _^ aad , as well as Hall , had a

Hall , ef eourse , _snsnected his poor neighbour of _robbing him , artdsentforJNott to seize the poor man ' s chaff ! _, ilall said he could swear to the cil __ f _ f _jseing stoles TiioiiHm . _andstraight'way the _ufevreijeiweii , without further warrant , proceeds to steal slaicter ' s chaff ; whereon Slatter says , " That never belonged te Mr .

May we not naturally infer ikat there ' s something in the wind ? _Tbise . —From all parts of the country we continue to receive the most frightful accounts of decaying trade .

Codet CmcoiAK--The Queen andI Pnnce slept well last night ( Saturday ) , and attended divine service at St . George ' s Chapel Koyal , onSunaav . The Bishop of I _ ondon preached the sermon from the following test-.- "They that die by the sword are better than they tnat perish of hunger , for their bodies pine away , stricken through , _mr want of the fruits of the field . " We _underhand that the venerable divine was frequently interrupted by suppressed but audible mutterings of "On ! the potatoes '" The Rojal children took their accustomed _airinra . Prince Albert and the yonng Cobourgs , attended by tliree lackers , were engaged throughout the remainder ofthe dav , after divine service , in _mvesti-ating the real condition of the potatoe crop m : the Koyal Conservatory , were many experiments are now being maie to secure the last ot t hej Murphy ' s .

ExGLAsn . —All accounts appear to agree in . the damage sustained by the potatoe . The Qlmcester Journal states , that although railways absorb public attention just now , that nevertheless the loss of the food of millions of people will presently engross the more seriousoeasideration of all . From Nottingham and its neighbourhood , as ' well as front all parts of the kingdom , the daily _pagers continue to publish the most frightfal _authenticated _accounts relative to the loss of the potatoe cw _$ > . . Factor ? Ixspeciobs' Justice . —We _^ ive the following version of the manner in which factory _iufautscoiaKC scicmE . — "An inquest was held on Monday before Mr . Chapman , upon the body of Ellis Reed , aged thirteen years , who was unfortunately killed on Saturday last , in consequence « f being crashed between the carriage and the _headstockfnsae of a hand-mule in Mr , John _Marsland ' s
mill , -Chorlton-npon-Medlock . 'On Tuesday an investigation into the _circumstaoces was made by Mr .-Leonard Horner , Mr . William Graham , and Dr . _Jehn-Gy Harrison , ia virtue of their , appointments under the Factories'' Regulation Act ; and after a very searching examination of tfee parties working in the-room , it wasqeite evident 'that no blame = could be charged _against any person connected with the establishment , or ( that it arose from any unprotected machinery , but frem carelessness in the boy himself , who , in the eagerness of play < with ; another boy , unwarily placed himself within ceach of machiRcry . " — What a lie ! a factory boy playing while machinery was at work ? What a farce' *? to aspect condemnatory evidence from poor creatures , who , if it made against the master , would-be eveiy one bagged , and what a joke to pay Inspectors for wh ' _ifr . washing tyrants .
Thieves Look Oc t . —It is definitively determined to hold a winter assizes-and gaol _delivery for the counties of York and Lancaster . The Gbasd Ddkb Cohstasiise of Khjssia . —We learn that this gentleman , who is the second son of the great tyrant of "all the Russias , " _^ arrived at Plymouth with two ships , ( a line of battleship of 74 guns , _andaObUssian _coiwettejatdaylighfron Saturday morning , and after all the other rubbish about distinguished _visitor _. royal-salutes _. andservileattendants , we read the following disgusting announcement : — "Every preparation hes been made by'the heads of the public departments here for giving the Grand Duke a suitable reception on his landing ; and an elegant suite of apartments in the -east wing of
Elliott ' s Royal Hotel -have been prepared for his accommodation . His ( imperial Hi ° . hnesstwill probably remain in Plymouth" ** ten days or a fortnight . " A suitable - ___ bc : epzio {_ , indeed ! _-. Query : 'What would be a suitable reception for such visitors ' . ? and who is to pay for it ? John Ball will soon find out . Look on that picture and on this . It is now an incontrovertible fact thatmumbers of the Irish people must die of _starvation if net sustained through the present visitation -by the charity of hnmane and considerate individuals . We -must have some better regulation about this thing called "food . " It-will not do for monarchs And idlers to be feasting while their loyal subjects are all starving . Trade . —Again-we have to notice -the further
depression ia all trades except humbug , which goes on prosperously , especially in Ireland , _inhere there is great demand for it . The Stock Exchakge . —Another frightfully gloomy day . All attempts-to prop the system having failed , the thing is tumbling to pieces as fast as even we could wish . Court Cibcglak . —The following -from the Times of this morning is _aoniuch more ludicrous than any thing we coHld possibly write , that-we give it precisely as we find it-in that journal : — Her Royal Highness , the Duchess of Kent arrived at the Castle to breakfast with the Queen -and the Royal party previous to-the departure of the Duke Ferdinand and Prince Leopold-of . Saxe Cobanr for lisbon .
At _tu-eny-five minutes past ten o ' clock , his Royal Highness the Duke Ferdinand and his Seicne Highness Prince Leopold of -Saxe _CoUcrg left the Castle , accompanied by Prince Augustus and . Baron Wangenheim , for Slough , en route per Great Western Railway to Eseter , where the illustrious party will test for the night , and proceed tomorrow to Plymouth , _at which place they _trill embark for Lisbon , attended by Baron de Freiberg-tnd Lieutenant Colonel Wylde to the place of embarkation . The Queen , Prieos Albert , the Duchess -of Kent , and tbe Princess Augusta accompanied their _iHaetrions relatives to the door of theprincipal entrance . There were also present Lord Byron , Colonel Sir Geerge Couper , Colonel Bowles , and Sir _Frederick Storin . Prince Augustus of Saxe Coburg _, attended hy Baron de Waugenheim , returned from Slough , after the departure of Ids Royal parent , to the Castle . The Prince of Wales , Prince Alfred , and the Princess Royal were taking airings this morning .
The Princess Augusta , attended by Madame Angelet , walked for some time this morning . Their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert and Prince Augustus of Saxe Coburg took equestrian exercise this afternoon , attended by Lord Charles Wellesley . Who will say that Royalty is extravagantly paid when they hear of such a multiplicity of' arduous labour being performed in so short a time . We rejoice that the Byron groom , referred to above , is not the son of liberty's immortal bard . Wedxesdat . —Ireland . —Vie have this day been favoured-with some more fun from Conciliation Hall . At last Monday's meeting some of the reporters made a mistake of stating that a Mr . Decoy took the chair ,
whereas it was a Mr . M'Coy . Mr . O'Connell commenced b y opening a thundering fire upon us for the publication of the document entitled "Landlords and Tenants—Tyrants turning their Tenants out , " and stated that as he did not wish to extend its circulation , he could only give it to Jfr . Hodges , tke Government reporter ; and he also takes praise i ' or sending it by Col . Arkins to the castle ; and _Government having failed in the performance of its duty , the Liberator asserted that the Association should turn spies themselves . Mr . Beodbick , as a means of relief , suggested that the sum of £ 600 , 000 mav be raised by compelling the Parliamentary Railway Committees to hold their sittings in London .
Mr . O'Cox . nell considered that Repeal would be better . Mr . O-Neat . moved that a committee of the Association should sit from day to day to consider the state of the potatoe crop , and compared the landlord who , under the circustances , would demand full rent , to Shylock , who -would have his pound ofilesh . The Libeiutor seconded the motion , and said that Sir Robert Peel was chargeable with every death that occurred from starvation , and declared that Galway , after all , was no part of Ireland , as Dean Kirwah had accepted the presidency of one of the new colleges . Mr . O'Neal , as a Galway man , threw up his cap for the West , and declared that Dan's logic was no logic at all , to which the Liberator assented . "
Mr . W . S . O'Briex supported the claims of Mr . M'Carthy to the representation of Cork ; and , in denouncing Ribandism and the several murders committed in Ireland , the honourable gentleman was led into the following dangerous admission : — "In the case of Mr . M'Cloud , and many other instances , there appeared to be no adequate cause . " Now , we are entitled to ask Mr . O'Brien what he considers an adequate cause for committing murder ? The Liberator concluded by giving notice that the draft of a bill for the better enabling her Majesty to summon her Parliament in Ireland would be . ready on Monday next , Mona—sir—dhoul ! Dan . "Sour savA to blazes : but your'e the broth , of a boy .
Yerra you bullaboo of a bosthoon . Hadn't you a ! bundle of your tongue inside of your jaw when you were doing the flats . Oh , musha , musha , to enable her Majesty to summon her Parliament in Ireland . Be Gorra , but you makes us burst our shirt laughing . But wasn't it the Irish people , and not her Majesty , that was to enable the Parliament to sit in Ireland ? The Rest for the week was announced to be £ 175 . Tue Tribute Dat . — -The plunder goes bravely on , but one of the patriotic collectors walked off with the " slack" of some tin , and upon being brought to justice he declared that he was only following a good practice by ( bagging ) begging on his own account , and the defence was held by the College-street justices to be a good one although the precedent may be a
_^ Potatoe _Cnor-The accounts from all parts of _Mand appear to be more gloomy than ever while _Se Liberator ' s tribute is expected to reach £ 28 , 000 . Who wouldn't be an Irish victim ? Stock Exchange . — The rout goes on amongst the rate C aU _rthai-es are tumbling _^ and a _^ hope o _meeting dear provisions by increased railway wages 2 ? _vanishing . The landlords are _peppenng-the _patriots are plundering-and the Government , umpires , are coolly looking on . FottEiGs . —The Great Britain and the Hiberma steamers have brought us the latest American news , and from it we are confirmed in the anticipations
entertained from the inaugural speech of Jlr . rolK the President . It appears that all the influence of the powerful , in his own cabinet , as well as the intrigues of Britain and her gold , have failed to change the President ' s mind upon the Oregon question , and that a shindy with Yankee is inevitable . We hate war , but if it is a means of giving us our Charter and of restoring our exiles we will welcome it . It will be a funny thing if a Yankee schooner should wait upon our friends , Frost , Williams , Jones , and Ellis , and offer them a residence amongst the free : we further l earn that , just as we predicted , the announcement of famine in England had caused a considerable rise in

Her Majesty ' s private band afterwards played while they were drinking their wine . Is not that good news ?
The Grand Duke _Coxstantine is located at Elliott's Royal Hotel , Plymouth , and we are told tbat " a gtt & rd of protectim from the 14 th Regiment , is stationed at the Eastern entrance of the hotel , and a detachment of the Plymouth police force is . also in attendance . " What does this auard of protection ¦ me an ? In such cases we generally read of a guard of honour J Does the young Russian require protection ? and are there any Poles or their wives iii Plymouth ? Thursday , Tbe __ and . —The Potatoe Crop . —A committee of patriots Is sitting at the Mansion-House in Dublin every day . The Liberator was left in thc chair , by our lastreport—a' lejging for the poor on Tuesday , and begging from tbe poor on Sunday Seventy-two letters were received from all parts ofthe
country , principally from clergymen , giving the most alarming accounts of the potatoe crop . Irish Logic . —We give the foUowing specimen of Irish logic from the speech of a Mr . Prentice , land steward to Lord Culloden , delivered atone ofthe potvaliant meetings of the Irish landlords : — " A great and important duty ( said Mr . Prentice ) devolves upon us all , and I trust , with God's blessing ; we shall be able to perform it in our respective stations like men and Christians . I do hot by any means apprehend a scarcity of provisions ; we have not had , in my experience of twenty-five years , a finer oat crop , and we have plenty of food for all who are able to pay for it , and also some to spare ; but I do con fess i feel some alarm for a large portion of our population whose earnings will not be sufficient to
_purchase a better description of food than that to which th _^ haye been-30 lon g accustomed , and the general failure of wliich will place them in peculiar difficulties—I mean tine agricultural labourer , to whom we all owe so much , and whose sufferings we are bound now to alleviate . Tbe man who has a little _fac-m , and is able to ioep his cow and pig , can , from the high price of every article of produce , surmount his difficulties ; butthe poor _labourer , who has nothing to depend on but the produce of his pot to a garden and conacre for the support of himself and his family , is placed in a deplorable condition , and requires to bs cheered and supported by us in the time -of his severe trial . " Well done Prentice . So , with God's blessing , you'll act like a Christian , and , like one of Job ' s comforters , you tell us that we have plenty of food for am . wao are able to east for it .
The Go < v £ _sn * m 5 nt Scheme fob _Brimjw the Catholic Pmests . —By one of the most unaccount able pieces of magic ever heard ot ; Dr . Kirwan , the Roman Oartholie clergyman who bas accepted tbe presidency of one of the " _Goblbss" colleges—godless , because it will instruct the people , has become friendly to tha bill , although we learn that hefore his appointment he was its greatest opponent , and the IBunes tells us that no doubt hesaw suJkient < a > mefortIte change . _¥ o doubt be did _^ and the people will see it yet ; but then if it contaminates the best , what chance is there for the doubtfuL The-fact is this , that Daniel O'Connell sanctions every kind of juggleryno matter who the performers are , that he may the more easily fleece the natives . ' u'" - _Ekciasd . —We had a peep into ihe lunatic asylum ,
alias the Stock Exchange , to-day , and the inmates have really gone mad . Consols down . Securities going and all up , and all in consequence of the' one little eloudy spot over thc _Osesok . Wliat a nation we ave , when the chances of what Mr . Polk in Washing-ton is thinking about , regulates the price of our gold , the value of every one of our commodities , and the rate of wages , and' makes us all quake in our bnsechee . There is no international feeling , for we venture to say that the Republicans are not troubling their heads with what our Legitimatists are doing . A foreigner visited this country some time since , when a friend undertook to show him the lions of London ; amongst other places , the stranger expressed an anxious desire to see tbe _luiiatic asylum , and his friend being a bit of a wag . took him to the door of
the Exchange at business hours , when the wild beasts were bellowing out what they had to sell like thunder There , said he , showing him the interior—there's the "lunatic asylum . " By G— , exclaimed the foreigner , they ' re all loose ; and away he scampered as fast as he could peg . Foreign . —Not a word is heard in any quarter but Oregon ; as war now appeal's inevitable , and while we are writing , her Majesty ' s Ministers , our sapient rulers , are putting their heads together to discover how they can best avert the danger . We'll tellt hem ; let them give us the Land and the Charter , then we shan ' t much care who possesses the wilderness abroad , er the " cows afar off with long horns . " Russia . —The infernal devil , " old nick , " whose son we are feasting at Plymouth , as it will be seen'by our
report , not satisfied with the blood ofmen , has begun to slake his royal thirst with the blood of innocent women , having first consigned them to the tender mercies oi his lewd soldiers who ravish them . Englishmen ! just think ofa beast , a monster , a devil , a brute , a murderer , sending poor nuns out of their simple habitation , handing them over to his soldiers to be ravished , working them naked in gangs at the heaviest man ' s labour , flogging them to death , and making them dig their own graves , and burying them alive , and think of the English people feasting his son . But , thank God , he requires a protective guard and a . posse of blues to look ate him . Winosor Election _—^ hjijj || Government , the court , the Life Guards , _andthe ybqpjj gentlemen of Eton , have become so highly elated with their recent triumph over the constitution , that they have actually
removed the only obstacle _infe [ their way to such another triumph . Mr . Neville , _dniTof the members , has been bought off with a place'ef £ 1 , 200 a-year ; so hurrah for the broom-sticks and black thorns ;—But it would be a queer thing , if , in the next fun we . were seen with a " spade tree , " or side of a ladder clearing the streets of the Life Guards , the young gentlemen of Eton , and Mr . Magistrate Blunt . We'll Undertake to clear the streets of Windsor , barring powder , of soldiers , and all with one hundred paddies with a " bit of blackthorn" a-piece . We understand that the butcher of Long-lane , Bermondsey , who was Molesirorth ' s right hand man nt the Southwark election , occupied the same situation under Col . Reid at the last Windsor election , and we learn that he actually dined at the mess of her Majesty ' s Life Guards . We thought there must have been a butcher in the way .
Friday . —Ireland . —The Potatoe Crop . —On Wednesday , the committee sitting at the Mansion liouse , Dublin , adopted a series _^ of resolutions to the effect that the potatoe disease is still progressing to a very alarming extent , that more than one-third of the crop has been already destroyed , whilst no human means can be relied upon to save the remainder , that famine and disease are impending , and are sure to afflict the country , unless timely relief and precautions be adopted—that the conduct of the Government in delaying the meeting of Parliament at such a time is deserving of the severest reprehension , as their inactivity and apathy haveperilled the . livcsof hundreds of thousands , and that an address be presented to the Queen , praying her Majesty to direct that prompt and effectual measures should bo taken for thesafety ofthe Irish people .

Tuthill , the owner of land near Nenagh , is " evicting" his tenants finnon-payment of rent . One fact highly honourable to the bailiffs employed in this deserves to be mentioned ; they refused to level thc dwellings , and , to a man , turned out against the . job- — even though they were offered ih . per day . The peasantry cheered them , and the sheriff , the military , and the police , had to march back again .

France . —Results op the Harvest . — The of Agriculture and Commerce has addressed an important letter to the Prefects of the departments in respect to the results of the late harvest . The obji cct ofthe letter is to show that the harvest is not so bad as has been represented , and that there is no ground for apprehension of a deficiency of food , as there is amply sufficient in France for the necessities pf the inhabitants . A great degree ' of alarm exists in many parts of France . At Dinan , though one of the parts of the country where the harvest h as been most abundant , a serious riot took place on the 15 th , in consequence of the people attending the market rising to stop some waggons , loaded with grain , which were about to leave the place . The residence of the mayor was attacked , andthe whole place was for some hours in a state of the greatest excitement and alarm . By the latest accounts the place was in a state of great disorder .

These _con-^' ik'r bes ' * an immense quantity of wood , a valuable assortment of machinery .

Destruction Of The Glasgow City Theatre ...
DESTRUCTION OF THE GLASGOW CITY THEATRE BY FIRE . Late last night , or rather early this morning , the above splendid building , onthe Public-green , with all its valuable scenery , internal decorations , and other theatrical appurtenances , was entirely destroyed by fire , with the exception of the walls , which still remain . The most providential ,: and , at the same time , satisfactory consideration is , that the fire occurred after the performances of the evening had closed , and when the audience had taken their departure to their homes . The internal partof the theatre being constructed almost entirely of wood and other inflammable materials , when the whole erection became enveloped , it formed a sight at once fearful and sublime . It commenced precisely about ten minutes past twelve o ' clock ; and , although there was a heavy fall of rain at the time , it had no effect in diminishing the awful grandeur of the scene to the beholder . The
prevention oi further damage than the loss of the theatre itself , from the commencement , appeared to be the onlyjudicious course left to thefire-brigade , and it was ably followed out by Mr . Robertson , ofthe Glasgow police establishment , to whose activity and diligence , in playing upon Mr . Miller ' s Adelphi Theatre , may be ascribed the preservation of that extensive establishment . We have not heard as to the origin of the fire ; but we are sorry to learn that by the misfortune nearly sixty persons will be deprived of employment , and that a large amount of their little properties , such as music and dresses , is entirely lost to them . The theatre itself is valued at several thousand pounds ; but Mr , Anderson , the proprietor ( well known as the "Wizard ofthe North ) , we believe , is fully insured in the York , West of England , and Sun Fire-offices . — Glasgow Chronscle .

HORRIBLE OUTRAGE . Oswestry , Nov . 19 . —During the last few days this usually quiet little town has been disturbed by the commission of an outrage for which , in some of its revolting details , it were difficult to find a parallel . The facts , so far as they have transpired atapreliminary investigation of one of the district magistrates are as follow : — It appears that an aged woman name Susannah Rider , late a pauper in the Ellesmere Union Workhouse , had gone to reside with her son , a labourer , who , with his sister , occupied a cottage near _Llanymynech . The mother , who is presumed to besubject to mental aberration _^ was , at such times wholly un _» governable , and even desperate when contradicted . She had a predilection to wander from home , * and it was the province of the daughter , a sickly young woman , to prevent her leaving the cottage when under the influence ' -of this unhappy ! malady . On Friday morning last , the son having gone to his usual employment , the old womaa got up to go out , which

Seizing an ir 0 n-m 6 unted _bill-hookishe , at one blow , laid her helpless victim prostrate on the floor _, and whilst in a state of total insensibility , proceeded with savage ferocity to inflict several wounds on her head and body j but her rage did not stop there . Having dragged the body , of her apparently dead child into ; an adjoining apartment , the wretched maniac proceeded to the commission of another act of atrocity which can be no further described . The inmates of ah _adjoining cottage having overheard the original altercation ; and beingaware of . the old woman's
violent disposition , knocked repeatedly at the door , but failing to obtain . admittance , _some . person Went for young Rider , the son , who , with some of his neighbours , made forcible entry into the house , when they found every appearance that a desperate struggle had taken place . In the inner apartment the body of the daughter was discovered , from which a stream of blood had flowed to the threshold of the door . The outer room was also strewn with clots of blood and human hair torn off in the struggle . The wretched old woman , who was discovered huddled up in a corner of the room , was immediately secured . A broom-handle , the last weapon used , lay near her , one end clotted with gore . Mr . Owen , a medical gentleman , was called in , and restoratives having
been copiously administered , the poor sufferer showed signs of life . Her wounds having been dressed , she was placed in bed , and on the following day was sufficiently recovered to be able to explain the origin of the conflict . The miserable mother has been taken before R . Aubrey , one of the magistrates of the Oswestry bench , for a preliminary examination , when the facts above detailed were taken down in writing . Mr . Owen , the _' surgebn ; stated that the partial recovei _* y of the girl was solely attributable to the powerful stimulants administered , but he entertains no hope of saving her life , ' as mortification is almost invariably consequent upon : the peculiar injury alluded to . ¦ -. ; .- .. _..-L '' _,- ¦ ¦ _..-.
Rorrible Murder And Robbery Near Kn0wle-...
RORRIBLE _MURDER AND ROBBERY NEAR KN 0 WLE-... IN ; . WARWICKSHIRE . A murder , under , circumstances of a peculiarly atrocious character , has been committed upon the person of a -respectable ' pld man , named Tranter , a farmer , residing , iii a lone _housesituate in the parish of _Berkeswell , midway ' between the Coventry and Hampton Railway . Stations . The old man appears to have been of a most eccentric character , * so much so , that lie would _notallow . any person to sleep in the house with kim .. ifie . breakfasted last Monday morning with _; a boy named Satchwell , whom he employed about his grounds , and . afterwards went with him into afield , to point out the work he wished to bt done in the coarse ofihe day ., A short time afterwards the old ' man . returned to his house , and was not again seen alive . , At ten o'clock the boy observed that the shutters of the house were closed . This
circumstance does not , however , seem to have excited any particular attention in . his : mind , it being customary ior the . old man to do this whenever he left the house . About one o ' clock . the lad went to the house to obtain his dinner , and finding tht doors closed , he knocked loudly several times , but received noanswer . He then went away , but returned in the evening , and the following morning , the house still remaining shut dp , this circumstance gave rise to suspicion , and-on Wednesday morning the door was broken open , and on searching the house the body of the old man was discovered in a closet , covered with blood , and on -examining the corpse an immense cut was observed on the back part of the head . A carpenter ' s axe and a bill-hook lay near the body , both of these having quantities of blood and hair clotted round the edges .
The state of the house made it evident that the main object of the _villains wasplunder , every drawer and cupboard being ransacked , and it is generally believed that thc old man kept a considerable sum of money in the house . This atrocious deed has created much excitement in the neighbourhood , but no clue has yet been obtained that is likely to lead to the discovery of the murderers , except that on the day the act is supposed to have been committed two men ( strangers ) inquired of a boy the way to the old man ' s house , and whether he was likely to be at home . They have not been heard of since . An inquest was held yesterday ( Friday ) , but no new faots were elicited .

He then drew out a large knife , and plunged it several times between the ribs of his northern companion , who instantly fell to the ground . This , however , would not satisfy his hellish malice , and he proceeded to cut off the head of Im
then nearly lifeless victim ; which he would soon have accomplished had he not been detected in his diabolical work . He instantly made off under the cover of night : and the unfortunate , and to all appearance , unoffending sufterer was taken into the house . On examination , he was found cut from the chin through under the ear , round' the back part of the neck , and on to the chin on the opposite side . He was still alive , but no hopes of his recovery were anticipated . The inhuman monster was captured the following day . '
