¦ ¦ tfowii .-teai !™ -- ™ potatoe laving become Aewemier monarch of the earth , by right divine , - SmS o ™ - fiRt consideration . The Dublin EveninaMni the high Protestant print , and what is « dled the whole of the Liberal press , as well asmany Xfthe Conservative pop-guns , are at issue relative , to ? lie state of His Majestt ' s health ; theJlxil tkclar inz that there is a good crop , while all tiie other wnnto assert that it is all but gone—wliile doctors Jiffer patients die , and especially tinder the care of the Irish Royal Potatoe Commissioners , who , in their
piscription , seat to his Excellency this day , recommend the folHring modes of preservation : — 2 Washing the potatoes . _ ¦ 3 , Gratiag them down to pulp . 3 ] Was&ing the pulpy mass . 4 . Stirring in the oatmeal . 5 . Bating the cakes . Such is the process through 'which the medicine is to go , and the following Is the simple machinery leconnnended for performing the several operations . 1 A hollow revolving cylinder to wash the
potatoes . 2 . A grating machine for reducing them to pulp . 5 ! Barrels or vats for washing the pulp . 4 A floor for mixing pulp and oatmeaL 5 A heated floor or oven for baking the cakes . Here is a process , and here is machinery recommended to a people whose only furniture , as the Simes Commissioner Informs us , and as we can vouch for , is an iron pot to soften the potatoes , a basket to strain them in , and the door placed upon two other laskets to eat thereupon . "What a mockery . The subject is too serious to jest upon , or we should .-recommend the following prescription , written in the
usual professional phraseology , in opposition to the prescription of the quacks . 1 . Cum vid-bread stuff , 2 . Sifamesto , 3 . Pac usque ad ness , 4 . Prop te ipsum , 5 . ExLexDiv . ~ WM " ch being translated into medical English will read thus : — 1 . "When you see bread stuff , 2 . If you arehungry , 3 . Make as much as you want of it ,
; 4 . Your own property , 5 . According to divine law . ¦~ Divide inpartestres , capiat nnam tev in die , cum lacte novo—whichtranslatesthus : —Divide itinthtee parts , take one three times each day with new milk ; in other words , we prescribe plenty of bread stuff withnewmilk , in opposition to the rotten potatoe starch of the ministerial quacks . Moixt Maguibe . — We are informed , by the Fer manag h . ^ Reporter , that Molly Maguire is likely to get the death-blow from the exertions of Mr . Cullen , Air . Henderson , and Mr . Wray , aided by tie untiring
assistance of Mr . Plunkett , stipendiary magistrate . We did not know that Ireland contained four men rich enough to fee the whole of the Irish people , or powerful enough to do them justice ; for it is only by one or both of these means that Molly Maguireism can be put down : True , she may change her name and her sex—she has been a White Hoy , a Peep- ' oday Boy , a Whiteibot , aBlackfoot , a Terry Alt , and a Croppy ; " but what ' s in a name V Molly ' s occupation never will be gone as long as slavery exists in Ireland . The Thibbxe . — We have not yet seen an account of this disgraceful collection which commenced yesisrdav . . _
The Ohakgeues . — These blood-thirsty ruffians have got ashamed © f their name , and have enrolled themselves as The Protestant Alliance Murderers . Exqlixd . —The Poiatoe . —The potatoe disease is described as fearfully upon the increase all over the country , while our rulers are occupied in canvassing the meritsjof Lord Ellenborongh , and thetitle of England to the Oregon territory . When shall we get rid of such nincompoops . Answer . —The very moment the people will it . fiiixixG a Poor Man so Murder . —Anaccountof a poormannamed Slatter , who was murdered at Chipping Norton , byapoliceinspectornamedNott , will be found in another par tofour paper . and the verdict of the eoroner s jury will te read by every man with horror and disgust . The circumstances are briefly these , a
gentleman named Hall had missed some chaff , poor Slatter was his neighbour , and , as well as Hall , had a horse . Hall , of course , susoected bis poor neighbour of robbing him , andsentforXolttoseizethepoor man ' s chaff . Hall said he could swear to the chaff being stolen raoM nisi , andstraightway the ufe preserver , without further warrant , proceeds to steal slatier's chaff ; whereon Slatter says , "That never belonged to Mr . Hall , that chaff isiosE , yon shas ' thave it ;" but the inspector , not being able to discover the po 3 r man ' s right to chaff , replied , " He should have it , " and added these words , " 1 ' iisoox settle you , " and , as if by magic , as one of the witnesses stated , he drew from Ms rig ht-liand pocket a ildch stick and struck deceased a violent How viitii it on the- side of his head , which caused him to stagger ; and deceased said , " YOU HAVB » OSE A TJSB TH 1 XG NOW TOE ME . " A'Ott was about hepeatikg the blow , when Mr . Hall pulled his arm back , and said , " For God ' s sate do * l of lhere to
strike Mm any more , thereareplenty peope assist yju if it is required . The poor fellow was then handcuffed and conveyed to the " lock-up , where hismurderer found him dead in the morning ; and , wflliit ; be believed , that a rascally middle-class ' jnry have returned a verdict of manslaughter I ! . If Slatter had killed Uott after he had struck him , which , ly law , he would have been fully Justified in doing , these worthies would have returned a verdict ol wilful mnrder against Slatter . . Parliauext . — Itappeara that the collective wisdom is to be called together early in January for the dispatch of bcsinhss . Query . May we not naturally infer that there ' s something m the wind ? Trade . —From all parts of the country we continue to receive the most frightful accounts of decaying trade . Mills working half time , masters looking Hue , operatives looking hungry , prices looking down , and provisions look up . So we would advise our rulerto look out

" We understand that the
venerable divine was frequently interrupted by suppressed bnt audible mutterings of "On ! the potatoes ! " The Royal children took their accustomed airi ngs . Prince Albert and the young Cobourgs , attended by three lackeys , were engaged throughout the remainder of the day , after divine service , ininvestigating the real condition of the potatoe crop in the Royal Conservatory , were many experiments are now being made to secure the last of the Murphy ' s . , ,, .. . : The Stock Exchaxgb .-We have no alteration to note since our last , beyond the further elongation of the faces of the banditti , and the continuous deser . tion of several railway boards , by the cat ' s-meat-boys , the cads , and the swell mob .

The Union , of course , being the cause of , their Doverty , and Dan only-having the eight to the retail profit , being exonerated from the duties of a landlord . Alas , poor eoQptiy , '• Almost afraid to know itself .
Exclasd . —All accounts , appear to agree in the damage sustained by the potatoe , TJie Gloucester Journal states , that although railways absorb public attention just now , that nevertheless the loss of the food of millions of people will presently engross the more serious consideration of all . From Nottingham and its neighbourhood , as well as from' all parts of the kingdom , the daily papers continue to publish the most frightful authenticated accounts relative to the loss of the potatoe crop . Factory Inspectors' Justice . —We give the following version of the manner in which factory infants commit suicide . — "An inquest was held on Monday before Mr . Chapman , upon the body of Ellis Reed , aged thirteen years , who was unfortunately killed on Saturday last , in consequence of being crushed between the carriage and the headstock frame of a hand-mule in Mr . John Marsland ' s
mill , Chorlton-upon-Medlock . On Tuesday an investigation into the circumstances was made by Mr . Leonard Homer , Mr . William Graham , and Dr . John G . Harrison , in virtue of their appointments under the Factories' Regulation Act ; and after a very searching examination of the parties working in the room , it was quite evident that no blame could be charged against any person connected with the establishment , or that it arose from any unprotected machinery , but from carelessness in the boy himself , who , in the eagerness of play with another boy , unwarily placed himself within reach' of machinery . " — What a lie ! a factory boy playing while machinery was at work ? What a-farce « to expect condemnatory evidence from poor creatures , who , if it made against the master , would be every one bagged , and what a joke to pay Inspectors for whitewashing tyrants .
Thieves Look Oct . —It is definitively determined to hold a winter assizes and gaol delivery for the counties of York and Lancaster . . The Grand Duke Gonstastise of Russia . —We learn that this gentleman , who is the second son of the great tyrant of " all the Russias , " arrived at Plymouth with two ships , ( a line of battle ship of 74 guns , and a Russian corvette ) at daylight on Saturday morning , and after all the other rubbish about distinguished visitor , royalsalutes , andservile attendants , we read the following disgusting announcement : — "Every preparation has been made by the heads of the public departments ^ ere for , giving the Grand Duke a suitable reception on his landing ; and an elegant suite of apartments in the east wing of ElGott ' s Royal Hotel have been prepared for his
accommodation . His Imperial Highness will probably remain in Plymouth " ten days or a fortnight . " A suitable BEcsruoK , indeed ! Query : What would be a suitable reception for such visitors ? and who is to pay for it ? John Bull will soon find out . Look on that picture and on this . It is now an incontrovertible fact that numbers of the Irish people must die of starvation if not sustained through the present visitation by the charity of humane and considerate individuals . We must have some better regulation about this thing called "food . " It will not do for monarchs and idlers to be feasting while their loyal subjects are all starving . Tsade . —Again we have to notice the further depression in all trades except humbug , which goes on prosperously , especially in Ireland , where there is great demand for it .
The Stock Exchange . —Another frightfully gloomy day . All attempts to prop the system having failed , the thing is tumbling to pieces as fast as even we could wish . Court Circular . —The following from the Times of this morning is jo much mor e ludicrous than any thing we could possibly write , that we give it precisely as we find it in that journal : — Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent arrived-at the Castle to breakfast with the Queen and the Hayal party previous to the departure of the Sake Ferdinand and Prince Leopold of Sase Cobunr for Lisbon ,
At twenty-fire minutes past ten o'clock , his Royal Highness the Duke Ferdinand and his Serene Highness Prince Leopold of Saxe Goburg left the Castle , accompanied by Prince Augustus and Baron Wangenheim , for Slough , -en route per Great Western Railway to Exeter , where the illustrious party will rest for die night , and proceed tomorrow to Plymouth , at which place they will embark for Lisbon , attended by Baron de Freiberg and Lieutenant Colonel Wflde to the place o { embarkation . The Queen , Prince Albert , the Duchess of Kent , and the Princess Augusta accompanied their illustrious relatives to the door of the principal entrance . There were also present Lord Byron , Colonel Sir George Couper , Colonel Bowles , and Sir Frederick Stovin . Princa Augustus of Sase Coburg , attended by Baron de Waugenheim , returned from Slough , after the departure of his Royal parent , to the Castle . The Prince of Wales , Prince Alfred , and the Princess Itojal 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 bj 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 . Wednesday—Ireland . —We have this day been favoured with some more fun from Conciliation Hall .
At last Monday ' s meetiHg some of the reporters made a mistake of stating that a Mr . Decoy took the chair , whereas it was a Mr . M'Coy . Mr . O'Connell commenced by opening a thundering fire upon us for the publication of the document entitled "Landlords and Tenants—Tyrants turning their Tenants out , " stated that as he did not wish to extend its circulation , he could only give it to Mr . Hodges , the Government reporter ; and he also takes praise for sending it by Col . ArMns to the castle ; and Government havin" failed in the performance of its duty , the Liberator asserted that the Association should turn spies themselves . . .. „ . , „ that
Mr . Brodrick , asa means of relief , suggested the sum of £ 600 , 000 may be raised by compelling the Parliamentary Railway Committees to hold their sittings in London . Mr . O ' CoxxEii considered that Repeal would be better Mt . O'Neal moved that a committee of the Association should sit from day to day to consider the state of the potatoe crap , and compared the landlord who , ' under the circustances , would demand full rent , to Shyloclv , who would have his pound of flesh . The Liberator 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 Kirwan had accepted the presidency of one of the
new colleges . ¦ ,. Mr . O'Neal , as a Galway man , thr ew up his cap for the West , and declared that Dan ' s lo / ic was no logic at all , to which the Liberator assented . Mr . W . S . O'Brien supported the claims of Mr . M'Carthy to the representation of Cork ; and , in de-S nouncing Ribandisra and the several murders committed in Ireland ; the honourable gentleman was led into the following dangereus admission : — "In the case of Mr . M'Cloud , and many other instances , there appeared to be no adequate cause . Now , wa are entitled to ask Mr . O'Brien what he considers an adequate cause for committing murder ? The LiBEKAToaicQneluded by giving notice that the draft of a bill for the better , enabling her Majesty to snmmon her Parliament in Ireland would be ready ! lour

The landlords are peppenng-the patriots are plundering—and the Government , as umpires , are coolly looking on .
Foreign . —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 Mr . rolk rhe President . It appears that all the inHuence of the pcjwerfol , in his own cabinet , as well as the intrigues of Britain and her gold . havo failed to change the President ' s mind upon the Oregon question , and tnat a shindy with Yankee L * inevitable .

The Stock Exchange . —This has been the worst day the banditti has had for along time—like the potatoe disease the good lines are taking the infection from the rotten ones , and alfare upon the downward " slidingscale .

Court Circular . —The Royal Family are pretty much the same to-day as they were yesterday , with the exception of the few thousands additional pay . On Tuesday , which we forgot to state , the band 0 the second Life Guards played while her Mjijesty and her friends were at dinner , ller Majesty ' s private band : afterwards - played while they were drinking their wine . Is not tliat good news ? The Grand Doke Constastine is located at Elliott's Royal Hotel ) Plymouth , and we are told that "« guard of protection from the 14 th Regiment is stationed at the Eastern entrance of the hotel , and a detachment of the Plymouth police force is also in attendance . " What does this guard of protection mean ? In such cases we generally read of a guard of honour ! Does the young Russian require protection ? and are there any Poles or their wives in Plymouth ?
• Thursday , Ibbland . —Tiie Potatoe Crop . —A committee of patriots is sitting at the Mansion-IIousc in Dublin every -day . The Liberator was left in the chair , by oiir list report—a' bejging pob the poor on Tuesday ,-and begging from the poor on Sunday . Seventy-two letters were received from all parts of the country , principally from clergymen , giving the most alarming accounts of the potatoe crop . _ Irish Logic . —We give the following specimen 0 Irish logic from the speech of a Mr . Prentice , land steward to Lord Culloden , delivered at one of the potvaliant meetings of the Irish landlords : — " A great and important duty ( said Mr . Prentice ) devolves upon us all , and I trust , with God ' s blessing , we shall be able to perform it in our respective stations like men and Christians . I do not by any means apprehend a scarcity of provisions ; we have not had , in my experience of twenty-five years , a finer oat crop , and we have plenty of food for all who are able
to pay for it , and also some to spare ; but I do confess I feel some alarm for a large portion of our population whose earnings will not be sufficient to pur * chase a better description of food than that to which they hava been so long accustomed , and the general failure of which will place them in peculiar difficulties—I mean the agricultural labourer , to whom we all owe go much , and whose sufferings we are bound now to alleviate . The man who has a little farm , and ia able to keep his cow and pig , can , from the high price of every article of produce , surmount his difficulties ; but the poor labourer , who has nothing to depend on but the produce of his pot to a garden and conacre for the support of himself and his family , is placed in a deplorable condition , and requires to be cheered and supported by us in the time of his severe trial . " Well done Prentice . So , with God ' s blessing , you'll act like a Christian , and , like one of Job ' s comforters , you tell us that we have p lenty of food for all who are able to pat for it .
The Government Schemb foh Bbibixg the Catholic Priests . —By one of the most unaccountable pieces of magic ever heard of , Dr . Kirwan , the Roman Catholic clergyman who has accepted the presidency of one of the " Godless" colleges—godless , because it will instruct the people , has become friendly to the bill , although we learn that before his appointment he was its greatest opponent , and the Times tells us that no doubt he saw sufficient -cause for the change . No doubt he did ; and the people will see it yet ; bnt then if it contaminates the oest , 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 . England . —We had a peep into the 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 cloudy spot over the Oregon . What a nation we are , when tke-chances of what Mr . Polk in Washington is thinking-about , regulates the price of our gold , the value of « very one of our commodities , and the rate of wages , and makes us all quake in our breeches . There is no international feeling , for we veuture to say that the Republicans are not troubling their heads with what our Legitimalists 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 desireto see the lunatic asylum , and his friend being a bit-of -a wag , took him te the door of
the Exchange at business hours , when the wild beasts were bellowing oat what they had to sell like thunder . There , said he ,-showing him the interior—there ' s the "lunatic asylum . " By G— , esdaimed 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 bur Oregon ; as war now appears inevitable , and while we are writing , her Majesty's Ministers , our sapient rulers , are putting their heads together to discover how they can best avert the danger . We'll tellthem ; let them give us the Land and the Charter , then we shan't much care who possesses the wilderness abroad , 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 , notsatisfied with the blood of men , has begun to slake his royal thirst with , the blood of innotent women , having first consigned them to the tender mercies of his lewd soldiers who ravish them . Englishmen ! just think of a 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 nakxd in gangs at the heaviest man ' s labour , flogging them to death , and making them dig their own graves , and burying tfum alive , and think of the English people feasting his son . But , thank God , he requires a protective guard and a posse of blues to look alter him . v
¦ WisnsoR -Emotion — The Government , the court , the Life Guards , and the young gentlemen of Eton , have become so highly elated with their recent triumph over the constitution , that they have actually removed the only obstacle in their way to such another triumph . Mr . Neville , one of the members , has been bought off with a place of £ 1 , 200 a-year ; so hurrah for the broom-gticks and black thorns : —But it would be a queer thing , if , in the next fun w& 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-picce . We understand that the butcher of Long-lane , Bermoridsey , who was Molesworth s right hand man at the Southvrark election , occupied the same situation under Col . Reiu at the last Windsor election , and we . learn that he actually-dined at the mess of her Majesty ' s Life Guardsr We thought there must hare been a butcher in the wa ' . - ^ -

Extensive Conflagration in the Hacksey-road . —On Tuesday morning , shortly after one o ' clock , a very alarming and destructive fire broke but in the extensive saw mills belonging to Mr . William Little , situate in Norway-place , Hackney-road . The first discovery was made By police-constable H 52 , who immediately despatched a message for the engines , and forthwith the engines of the brigade from White Cross-street , Jeffery-square , Wellclese-square , Watling-street , and Southwark Bridge-road , with Mr . Braidwood , the superintendent , arrived ; these were followed by others from Farringdon-street and West of Englandand County offices , with Messrs Connorton and Garwood . As quickly as possible the engines were set to work , from tne mos't ijommandlng
positions , but by the time the first one could be . got into action , the flames had obtained possession of the greater portion of the spacious mills . These contained ,, hesides an immense quantity of wood , a valuable assortment of machinery . The exertions of the * firemen " were therefore directed to save , if possible , the contents of the building ; in that , however , they were unsuccessful , and in less than half an hour after the first outbreak , the destructive element , had extended from end to end of the mills , and had communicated to the front premises of Mr . Clark , tobacconist , and the backs of several other houses . Seeing the great danger to which the adjoining-property . was exposed , ' the firemen shifted their quarters , and brought the . branches of their engines to bear
upon the houses in the main road , 'lhis nappny , was crowned with success , and by strenuous exertions the firemen succeeded by three 0 clock in arresting the further progress of tho flames . in « damage done , it is needless to state , is yery considerable .

Murder in LoxaFORn . —The Longford Journal gives the following particulars of a brutal murder committed in that county on Saturday woek : —On Saturday last three brothers , young men , named William ,-John , and Henry Bergin , were attending the market of this town , and left about five o ' clock for the purpose of returning home to their residence at Lyneen , between Killashee and Kenagh , about five miles distant ; on their reaching the townland of Gewlan , about three miles from this , and one-anda-half from Killashee , they were attacked by a party of fourteen or fifteen villains , who had been lying in wait for them armed with bludgeons and loy handles , and without any provocation , struck and beat them in a most brutal manner . William Bergin was the first struck , with a loy handle on the head , which severely fractured his skull in two places ; both Henry and John were also dreadfully beaten , and on finishing tie beating , they took the latter and
threw him into a deep bog drain on the roadside . Having satisfied themselves with beating William Bergin , before they ran off , his friends , and some of those -who came up , assisted him upon a car , which was procured for the purpose , but on reaching within half a mile of home it was discovered that he was quite dead , The other two brothers were brought into the county imfirniary , were they now lie in a dangerous state An . inquest was held on the body on Sunday evening , when Surgeon Hyde deposed that on a post mortem examinatioii ' bf the body , lie found three large wounds in the head , an extensive fracture of the skull , the upper part broken into several pieces , some of which were driven into the substance of the brain .

Frightful Accident . —A distressing accident happened to . 1 young man , aged 19 , named Elin , at Taunton , on Wednesday . He is apprenticed to a plumber and glazier , and was returning from work about eight o ' clock in the evening of Wednesday . While passing the arcade he saw a cannon on the ground about to be let off , and cautiously turned away to avoid it ; but scarcely had he moved a step when the piece exploded and he fell , having received a wound n the back part of his thigh , which the poor fellow believed had entirely carried away the limb , so great was the shock . " . After some little delay he was removed to the hospital , and here the extent of the injury waY . found to bo most serious . A foreign body was felt at the upper and inner side of the thigh ,
lying immediately under and distending the skin ; on being cut down and removed , it was found to be a ragged portion of a brass cannon , upwards of two inches long and one inch broad . This dreadful missile had entered the outer part of the thigh , opposite the point whence it was removed , causing a fearful wound '; it "traversed ( carrying with it in its course several portions of linen ) the whole thickness of the limb , grazing and partially fracturing the thighbone ; and , having most providentially avoided the large bloodvessel , was arrested in its career of destruction by . the skin as before noticed , at a point opposite to that it had entered by . The unfortunate sufferer , although in a most precarious condition , is , we are happy to state , going on as favourably as could be expected . . . ' . .

THE SUSPICIOUS CASE OF POISONING AT BROMLEY . The case of the young woman , Harriet Monckton , who was poisoned by pruasie acid about two years back , at Bromley , continues to excite a great deal of interest in the neighbourhood , and some circumstannces have recently transpired which render it very desirable that the matter should be brought to some , termination , and that the guilty party—for that the deceased met her death by foul play there seems to be no doubt entertained either , by the jury or the medical men who were examined—should be discovered , or that _ those against whom suspicions have been entertained should be exonerated from
all share in 'the foul transaction . As so long a period has elapsed since the commencement of the inquiry , it may not be amiss to statg briefly under what ccrcumstances the deceased was discovered , and the facts upon which the above opinion . is grounded . It appeared that Harriet Monckton , who is described as being a fine handsome young woman , was the daughter of poor parents , residing in the neighbourhood of Bromley , but they had contrived to givelier rather a better education than ordinary , and she had obtained a situation as a teacher at a school in :. Londoh ;! which , shortly before the period at which . j | wcame by her untimely end , she had given up , and Iwas about to take another of a similar character at ? Arundelj . in Sussex ; but before proceeding to her Stew ; situation she came to Bromley to pass a few
¦ 'days . with her mother . On the Monday , when she was last seen alive , she left home apparently in good health ' and spirits , saying that she should return shortly , and was never more seen alive . Search was made for her that evening and all th » next day , but without avail , until the evening of Tuesday , when it was suggested by one of the party , who was in search of the deceased , that they should examine a closet situated at the rear of a dissenting chapel in Wid . more-lane , Bromley , and upon going there the deceased waa found dead upon the floor of the closet in a sitting position , ana front the perfectly placid and composed appearance of her features , it was supposed that she had died a natural death , particularly as there was no trace of any deadly instrumemt or ingredient visible by which her death , could
have been occasioned . The coroner for this division of Kent held his inquest in due course , and at the suggestion of the jury a . post mortem examination of the deceased was made before Mr . Hott , a surgeon residing at Bromley , and another medical gentleman . It was then discovered beyond the possibility of doubt that the deceaeed had come by her death by means of prussic acid , a quantity being found in her stomach sufficient , in the opinion of the medical gentlemen , to have killed a dozen people . It also appeared that the unfortunate girl was very far advanced in the family way , and a nearly full-grown child had shared the fate of its unhappy mother . Upon the re-assembling of the jury , these additional facts were given in evidence , and very strong testimony was adduced to show that it was almost
impossible that the deceased could have destroyed herself , In the first place , - it appeared by the medical testimony that the . effect of the poison must have been to destroy lite almost immediately , so . that she must have taken it in tho place where the deceased was found , but no phial or cup was observed that could have contained tho poison either there or any where near the place . In the next place , if the deceased had herself taken the poison , she would no doubt have immediately fallen to the ground , and her dress would in all probability have been in confusion ; but , on the contrary , as above stated , she was found in an easy sitting position , her clothes apparently smoothed down , with her left hand resting easily upon her thigh , and with a white handkerchief under it . The impression produced by the evidence upon the
jury , and upon almost all who heard it , was that the poison had not been taken by the deceased in the closet , but that it had been administered to her elsewhere , and that after she was dead » he had been carried and placed in the position she was found . Some adjournments were made by the . coroner and jury , but although upon each occasion nothing transpired in any way to alter their opinion that the deceased met her death by foul play , no direct evidence was adduced tending to fix the guilt upon any individual , and since the last adjournment , which is now upwards of eighteen months ago , the coroner has declined to call the jury together , although repeated applications hare been made te him to do so . The
ury was originally composed of fifteen individuals , but of this number one is 'dead , another has gone abroad , and a third has left this part of the country ; still , however , leaving twelve , a number that would be competent to come to a decision upon the subject . A short time back these twelve gentlemen sent a communication to the coroner , requesting to know when he intended to eaJl them together , and they received a reply stating that he should do so very shortly , but since then nothing more has bean heard upon the subject . The jury , however , feel 60 strongly the necessity for further inquiry into this mysterious affair , that it is understood to be their intention to apply to the Secretary of State on the subject .

Lecture by Mb . M / Ghath .- ^ K having been announced by placard that Mr . M'Grath Would deliy » a lecture expository of the principles and objects of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , in the Temperance Hall , Nelson-street , on Monday evenisg , the juilding was thronged in every-part . Mr . John Bryan was unanimously appointed to preside . Tha chairman , in opening the business of tho evening , dwelt forcibly and eloquently upon the benefita jsrbich must accrue to the people from the possession of tha Land . . He considered its obtainment the only fi 6 p « of down-trodden labour . The chairman then introduced Mr . M'Grath , whose reception by the meeting was of that character which is calculated to che « r the spirits and strengthen the resolves of those endeavouring the suppression , of injustice and the
elevation of humanity . ' Mr ; M'Grath proceeded for nearly two hours to descant upon the Land , its capabilities , and to develbpe ' the plan of the Land' Society and the benefits derivable from membership with it . The chairman having respectfully invitea discussion , it was proposed and carried , that five minutes should be allowed to each opponent of the lecture to state his views . Mr . Adams presented himself , and commenced by regretting the short time allowed him to reply to the arguments of the lecturer . He considered the plan impracticable because the aristocracy would not sell the society their Land ; and even granting that , tho society could buy Land , he deemed a rental " of £ 5 per annum exorbitant fora house and two acres ofLnnd . Mr .. Adams . hayjug
obtained an additional five minutes ' , proceeded ; to urge the rusty , musty , but often-exploded objections which have been hammered out upon the anvils ef Lloyd's London Newspaper and the National Reformer . Several others in the meeting , some actuated by the spirit of inquiry , others by that of opposition , interrogated the lecturer . upon the practicability and benefits of the land project . _ Mr . M'Grath haying replied , to the entire satisfaction of the audience , a great number of rules were disposed of , and several persons paid their first instalments upon shares . Despite the apposition of the disaffected , the branch of the society formed here is going on gloriously . We expect at our next members' meeting , as the result of Mr . M'Grath's lecture , a powerful accession of strengthto our numbers .
