The Credentials Of Mr. Canning; Mr.^Onal...
[ Continued from our first page . ] the sum of £ 15 , proposed to be given to each sharehelder , should remain as a lien upon the property . Under these circumstances , he most cordially seconded the motion . Did not anticipate that the sum would be limited to £ 15 . Mr . M . W . Wheeler objected to the money advanced bearing interest , as , in that case , the occupant * would have to pay interest and rent . Mr . Leech : This branch of the subject is of vital importance to the stability of the society . He should propose , that the directors should _ retain the sum to be advanced to the shareholders in their hands , and lay it out for them . He wa « against all advances to the shareholders . This question had been discussed
in Manchester for nearly two months , and unanimously adopted . It becomes the duty ofthe directors to look to the stability and security ofthe society . The profits arising to the shareholder from the emp loyment of agricultural labourers is immense . The location of members totally unacquainted with agriculture would be disastrous to the society . It is a very dangerous precedent to deposit money in the hands ef any person who may choose to take a share ; for if every person that chose to pay his money could obtain £ loor £ 20 , by paying £ 2 10 s , the society would soon be inundated with the lowest class of persons , and every prig in Manchester would then have a share . He then moved— " That for the belter
security of the members of this association , to prevent , as far as possible , the chance of failure , and , at the same time , inspire that confidence amongst the shareholders so es & ntial to the success of the Land Association ,, the directors be empowered to employ labour in cultivating the land and putting in the crop , during the time that the house , and other necessary offices are being erecting ; tho purchase of seed , implements of husbandry , « fce- , and to pay for the same out of the £ 1-5 10 s . 8 d . ; the surplus , if any , to be given to the shareholder on his taking possession of his allotment . The preferenee of employment to be given to such shareholder as may have a knowledge of agriculture , who may apply for the same . "
Mr . O'Connor would rather pay £ 29 an acre for land that had not been broken up for twenty years , than £ 20 per acre for land that had been broken up for twenty years . Grass land is the best land . If the resolution was made inviting , instead of compulsory , he would support it . Mr . Leach : There is nothing compulsory in the resolution , and if there was , it is no more than what the other resolutions of the society , aa they are made as stringent as possible for the purjese of being obeyed . Those who are the most ignorant of agriculral pursuits are the most anxious to go > upe , n the land . Mr . O'Connor : When the land is , bought , the cottage will be built before the occiipaticn of the land by the members . Mr . Clark : Upon the success of the first allotment mainly depends the success ofthe plan . The directors ought to have the power 6 ? tledncting from the sale of the first crop the moirey that may be expended in the production .
Mr . G . W . Wheeler was surprised to hear Mr . Clarke state f uat the sum mentioned in tho rules could not bo given to the shareholders . There had not been ap . y assertion of the sort , for the directors woHld be / Abietogivcit . , , . Ml > - ° Connor ; The directors are bound to give the money , but not to give it to the disadvantage oi t « ' . society . He never contemplated that the money Vjuld ever be the returned . If any man has entered the society in the mere pre sumption that he » 810

have £ 1 & , and , then not . to contribute towards the location of hispoorer brethren ^; he would ; be : mistaken . Mr . Vallance : The question is whether the £ 15 i » to be given orient . His opinion was that the amount ought to be given and not to bo charged with interest : Not better manure applicable to land than that furnished by a pair of arms with a spade at the end of them . An advocate for the money to be given , and and not to be charged with interest . Mr . Wheeler : There would be more trouble in keeping the accounts relative to the interest , besides the difficulty of collecting the amountshould the -
, character © f this society be lost by refusing to comply with the " proposals contained in their present rules . Mr . G . W . Wheeler : One of the grand inducements held out to persons to become members has been the fact of g iving the shareholders the £ 15 16 s . 8 d . The cost of seed , in various instances , are not , as has been stated , £ 15 ; in one case a man who cultivated two and a-half acres was £ 1 7 s ., and in another £ 1 2 s . 9 d . Mr . O'Connor was against placing the money in the hands of any ef the parties , but in favourof charging them with interest , let it be ever so small .
Mr . Poolo : The reason why he should support the motion before the house was , that every member would have a security that th » y would , one time or the other , be located . Mr . Taylor ; In the districts with which he was acquainted , they had , during the last winter , turned over with the spade two acres of land , and , the sum paid for wages amounted to upwards of £ 12 . Mr . T . M . Wheeler : If the sum of £ 1510 s . Sd . were to be a loan , bearing interest , the society ought not to charge more than £ 4 a-year for tho rent ofthe cottage . The loan fund proposed to be established was for the purpose of making up the deficiency between the sum advanced on mortgage and the sum that would be obtained for the estate in the retail market . When you charge him with interest on the £ 15 lGs . Sd . advanced , in the shape of rent , you propose now to charge him an additional interest for his advance of money .
Mr . M'Grath : There can be no mistake that the great responsibility rests upon the shoulders of Mr . O'Connor ; for while the directors might escape , should there be a failure of the society , its failure would crush him .. The value of the interest is not worth the expense of collection . In all cases of mortgage the value of the thing sought to be mortgaged was taken into consideration . He had no doubt that the society could get the money . Mr . Saunders moved a further amendment , but the hour of adjournment having arrived , the discussion was adjourned till the next morning . The conference adjourned .

RcssEii . axd Mobpeth . —To the Editor ofthe Northern gjar , —Sir , —The above-named men , ycleped "lords , " are sga " fi 5 urinS m fte arena of agitation . They hare " given in their adhesion" to the League humbug , and are the gods of the day in the profit-mongering circle . Of course , with the shopfceeping fraternity , tbey are the only two men in Christendom competent to rule the destinies of Great Britain—the only two capable of achieving the salvation of the nation . What a Blessing It is that we are living , or starving , in an age and country honoured with a" little John , " and an " Accidental Lord 2 " Yea , thrice hles » ed are ^ re that Providence has implanted a desire in the Jiearts of these disinterested patriots to labour for the good of a people who cannot work out their own sal .
ration ! How considerate these men are , and how fateful we ought to be for their kindness ! It is well inown that John is no "finality" man—not he , indeed ! He will , doubtless , go the " whole hog , " including snout , tail , bristles and all . Yes , yes ; he ' s a thorongh-going chap , and eschews the very shadow of " FWALrri . " As for Morpeth , he ' s au out-and-outer . The Yorkshiremen know this ; hence they gave him a dish of his own , and kicked him out , not wishing to impose arduous duties on so good a man . He is one solid mass of kindness and condescension . His bowels yearn o ' er the hard fate of a perishing people , and , notwithstanding the anxiety of the said people that he should remain quiescent , and not trouble him . self on their account , yet he fearlessly steps forward
< W his great inconvenience ) and stretches forth his Herculean arm to save us from impending destruction , What peerless patriotism ! What interminable philanthropy ! Wh y so thoughtless as not sing his praise ? Surely , 'tis enough to make the dumb sfcontforjoy , and all the lame , the blind , and halt in the land , join in the merry "Morpeth rant . " Those two men don't want power ! So such thing . They are too independent to -climb to role on rotten potatoes , seeing they know -what it -was to climb to the high places on the shoulders of a giddy people , who warned to " move on " as the beaks say ,-when the climbers were sat at ease on the pinnacle of their ambition . Tbey are very humble-minded men—not the least scintilla of am . bition in their 'whole composition . The working
classes , or Chartists , may look with suspicion on the ¦ motives of these men ; but be it known to all whom it may concern , that the mortar and pestle editor of the Leeds Times hath spoken on the subject , whereby 1 , 509 readers will be made acquainted with the «« obeht faci , " that Bussell and Morpeth are " converted ! " This is , certainly , a new epoch in our history , when 1 , 500 shopkeepers will learn the worth of a hrace of lords through the medium of onepUl-monlder , alios editor , alias plural unit . The pillman says , "Lord Morpeth is a lord , and , therefore , his opinion is -of no small importance to an English audience , " "Lord Morpeth is a lord ! " Wonderful discovery , doctor ! Hence we learn , the Chartist might say , that a pig is a pig , and his grunt is of no small importance
to an English audience . He for , rather , the wx ) says , - "The public opinion determines who are to he Hisisters . It decides about the heads of Government , " The working class may say this is a palpable lie , as they are the public ; yet their opinion is of no more weight in govermental matters than the breath of the meanest reptiles . "Ministers , whoever they may be , must govern by the consent of the people . " Again , the pragmatical Chartists will say , "Is it so V "Why , they may not see it , but the we sees everything , and knows better than any one else . The we says , " It is a laudable ambition on the part of Lord John Russell
to aspire to the situation of Prime Minister of his -country . " This is opening the sack and letting out the cat . The motive ofthe " conversion" is oozing out rather too copiously here . Don ' t split any further , or ihe purblind Chartists may see the dodge , and smell a rat . Silence , Sammy ; don't vomit any more at present . Lord bless you , Sussell and Morpeth don ' t want place and power—not " they . They are lords , aud lords are lords , the Lord knows . Now , easy ; don ' t lift the curtain to an "English audience of 1 , 500 . "William Rider . London , December 3 ro , lS 45 . —[ The above should have appeared in last Saturday ' s Star , but was kept out through want of room . ]

Resolved , — " That we , the members of the Co-operative Land Society in the Dewsbury district , having with re . gret seen , for several weeks past , allusion made in the Northern Star to certain correspondence purporting to - be from a Dewsbury correspondent , do hereby declare that we do not know who that correspondent is , and , moreover , that we do not countenance any correspondence that has been carried on between the present editor of the Northern Star , aud the self-made Dewsbury correspondent , which correspondence is calculated to produce discord in our ranks . " "We particularl y requestlnsertion , in the next number of the Star , ot the foregoingresolntion . —I remain , yours respectfully , Joseph House , sub-secretary .
Emigration to America . —Sir , —Seeing in your paper of last Saturday , that one of your correspondents at Wilmslow , Cheshire , wishes to be informed of the best Emigrant ' s Guide to the United States , I recommend him to get Mr . NewhaU's Guide , published by Wiley and Patman , London , price Is . 6 d . If jour correspondent will let me know his address , ! will write to him on the subject of emigration . Let him address to me , Wm . Paine , Kews-agent , Stratford-on-Avon . Staevixg "Pauper" Chilbben . —During the past week much excitement has prevailed throughout the parish of Kensington , in consequence of the circulation of a report that the pauper children belonging to that parish , who had been for some time past at Mr . Drewettfs establishment at Brixton , were in a half-starved state ,
notwithstanding the liberal allowance paid for them by the hoard of guardians . The following authentic particulars have been ascertained . There are 71 boys andgirls belonging to Kensington parish , who , for want of room in the workhouse , have been s ent to Mr . Drewctt ' s establishment . Some ofthe mothers of the children having lately evinced a strong desire that the children should be brought hack to Kensington , and some going so far as to offer to take their children altogether out of the parochial charge , the hoard of guardians determined on paying the establishment an unexpected visit , in order to see how the children were situated . That visit was paid on Monday , the 21 th ult ., by a deputation from the board , consisting of Mr . G . H . Sasse ( vice-chairman ) , Mr . Bellworthy ( church-warden ) , and Messrs . Moss , P . Smith , Couchman , Howard , Kixon , and Mr . Cornell , the clerk ofthe board . On arriving at Brixton , Mr . Drewett was not at home , having gone over to Kensington , hut the deputation saw Mrs . Drewett , & c ,
On entering , they were surrounded by the children , who earnestly heg ? ed to he taken home , alleging that they were half-starved , a declaration which their looks fully "bore out . The deputation whUe there went over the whole establishment , and ascertained that the place in which the children have their dinners was a hoarded building , with an open-tiled roof ; that they have no seats allowed them while eating it , but have to stand on a brick-floer : and that the soup was scarcely anything but the liquor from the boiled meat , with a few peas , thickened by oatmeal . The guardians were much dissatisfied with the accomodation provided for the children , and they determined to remove the whole Of them as soon as they can provide a place . At a vestry meeting , held on Friday last , a statement ofthe circumstances was given hy Mr . Nixon , which has tended greatly to increase the excitement , and wonder has been generally expressed , that the Poor-law Commissioners should permit such a place to exist , or at least that thev should countenance parishes sending
their children there . Xb owbbibce , Wilts . —Any person desirous of becoming amemberofthe ChartistCo-operative LandSocietycan he enrolled by applying to Thomas Daws , Trowl-lane .

Monday. Ireland.—The Potatoes.—The Shock...
MONDAY . Ireland . —The Potatoes . —The shock occasioned by the amiouncement of the repeal ofthe Corn Laws has driven all notice of the existence of such a root as the " praties" out of existence . " Not a word about the pig" has been a familiar phrase in Ireland , but now we must exchange it for " Not a word about the praties . " The fact is the fanners were the first to get up the " hue and cry" about the potatoe failure , and , like the Kiliarney echo , that if you ask " flow do you do , Paddy Blake ? " answers " Very well , I thank you , how are you ? " Now echo has responded to the potatoe failure , repeal of the cor . v laws ; and such an unexpected response has fairly shut the murphy traps of the complainants . Progress of THAXQuiLLirr . —Every post brings tidings of increased outrages throughout Ireland , and they are , one and all , occasioned by the tyranny ,
oppression , and cruelty of the landlord class , and the want of protection felt by the aggressors ; those fellows who live luxuriously and fatten upon the law ' s inequality , cry out before they are hurt ; as the very moment that scarcity presents itself they shudder , as a guilty man at the recollection of his iniquities , and anticipate that vengeance from the oppressed to which their own cruelty justly subjects them . The Gigantic Scheme of Godless Education . ^ - One Dr . Henry , a cog in the old educational wheel , has been appointed to the Presidency of Belfast College ; and those who are to derive instruction from the institution , hare discovered that the learned President has received no education , and the government have endeavoured to supply the deficiency by appointing one Dr . Thompson , a very learned man , to a subordinate situation under the unlearned Doctor . This is a very funny way of governing by tools .
The Irish Speculations . —As long as Irish speculation depended upon the game of chance , there was no lack of enthusiasm , but as soon as the poor devils were called upon to furnish some sterling representative of the game , the bubble burst , and there was an end to the fiction . _ Exgland . — It is currently rumoured that Peel seeing the impossibility of making a very restrictive currency represent the gigantic speculative genius of the present day , is prepared to propose an issue of one pound notes—and why shouldn't he ? The man who opposed Catholic Emancipation carried it . The man who supported restrictions upon trade , sought the fitting opportunity to set it free—and why shouldn't the same man who made us pay £ 90 for every £ 60 borrowed , eat that leek as part of his financial salad ?
Fbbe Trade . — Ihere is the devil amongst the tailors , and , as we predicted , the panic , without any foreign arrivals , has had the effect of making buyers tighten their purse-strings , while sellers are reconciled t 3 an enormous reduction in the price of grain ; in fact , our prophecy , if a thing based upon certainty , can be called prophecy , has been realised , as we learn from the'' Thunderer . " The Mark-lane Express and the provincial papers say that panic has already done its work—they being all sellers and no buyers . Trade . —The manufacturing districts are in a curious position . Some short-sighted capitalists are speculating upon a free trade rise in the price of produce , while in the majority of cases the operatives , and especially the nowerloom-weavers , are being
many of them discharged , while the wages ot those at work are considerably reduced . The spinners are generally well employed , but not legitimately , as the masters are , for the most part , storing the twist for probable continental demand . ¦ - - - ' ¦' Extraorduiart Process . —It will scarcely be . believed that , by the present improved machinery , a ponnu of raw cotton can be spun into 449 , 100 feet of thread , or nearly eighty-five miles in length . So that tour pounds of cotton could be spun into thread that would reach farther than from London to Glasgow . This is bringing machinery to very great perfection , and we should not object to the improvement ; if the working classes had their share in it , but they have not .
The Clod Poles . —Acland and Dickenson , two of the broken sows , have been called to sore account for the violation of their pledges , at a ^ dinner recently given in honour of the two M . P ' s . ; they were the only parties who could not procure a hearing . Verily the bull frogs are beginnimj to think for themselves .
TUESDAY . The Thundbkeb There is an old saying , that men are sometimes afraid of their own noise , and never was the truth of the maxim more powerfully illustrated than in the present tone of the Times newspaper . We wish we had space to publish the several articles of the Times upon the repeal ofthe Corn Laws , and having placed the visions , the dreams , the guesses , and the lucubrations of the editor , or in charity we'll presume the editors , before the public , we would defy Cocker , Vanster Gough , the devil himself , or even Joe Hume , to solve the problem as to whether wheat is to be dearer or cheaper , wages higher or lower , food more scarce or abundant , land dearer or cheaper , or what , in fact ,
the effect of the repeal ofthe Corn L / iws is to be . The limes is esteemed as a great authority , and we will wager any sum of money , that twelverational men , impannelled as a jury to try the question as to what the meaning ofthe Times is , will not be able to come to any conclusion . We have read all the articles over and over again , and we unhesitatingly declare that the " fustian" spinning of the Times exceeds the cotton spinning ofthe cotton lords . The Pasic—The panic goes bravely on . Again all sellers and ho buyers . The flail and the thrashing machine , as we predicted , are at work , and the Times thunder , like Peel ' s cattle tariff , has had the magical effect of turning anticipated scarcity into glut . When will England be able to make sure
calculations upon her own resources f Answer : wnen her peop le are represented . Trade . —Our knowledge of the position ef the manufacturing districts how enables us to state , from the lips of the sufferers themselves , that trade is on the decrease , the rate of wages is being diminished , and the manufacturers are living ia comfortable security upon the profits made during three years of prosperity . The Laud . —Since the conference assembled at Manchester , the confidence of the working classes in the hope held out by the Chartist Co-operative Society , is beyond belief . The room in which the conference holds Its sittings is filled , from nine o clock in
morning till five in the evening , with an anxious , interested , and attentive audience , —while it would be impossible to convey the faintest idea ofthe calm , the able , and efficient manner in which the delegates discharge their onerous duty . We have acted as delenates upon several occasions , but never before has It been our good fortune to witness such a cheering representation of the improved mind of the working classes . . The Stock Exchange . —The money market is still in a most feverish and unsettled state ; exchange bills have got up a bit , but consols cannot get their heads above water . The gamblers are at fault at all points , and scarcely know how they can procure the stakes to dabble at in the corn game if the ports are opened . "
A Cow's Affection For Her Offspring.—At ...
A Cow s Affection for her Offspring . —At the late fire at Ellington a valuable cow had calved the ni ght before , and when the flames had reached the place , she , with another cow , was let out , but the door being open she returned to the « calf ; twice again she left it , and endeavoured to get the calf to follow her but the little animal refused to do so , and on her last return the smoke and fume had become so strong as to overpower her , and she fell beside her young one , and both were burnt to death .-ifcm / Post . Intrepid Conduct of a Young Female . —On Tuesday evening Mr . Baker held an inquest at the London Hospital , on thebody of Emma Kealey , aged 9 i a servant to a lady named Young , residing in It appeared that
Nichol-square , Hackney-road . on Thursday last , the deceased was wasting in theback kitchen , when the lower part of her dress caught fire by coming in contact with the copper flue , she rushed into the street enveloped in flames , when she was observed by a younglady named Wasford , who resided next door , who immediately seized the door mat , and ran to her assistance , and placing her ma sitting position threw it over her , and then procuring water succeeded in extinguishing the fire ; by her exertions she burnt herself very severely . Deceased was taken to the above hospital , where she died immediately on her admission . The coroner and jury highly corophmented Miss Wasford for her intrepw" ? . Verdict , accidental death ,

To-day / th q . oiiarfer latin was an a state of great commotion , and something very like an cmeute took place among the ' students . At one 0 clock upwards of 2 , 000 students from the different colleges assembled at the Sorbonne and proceeded thence in procession to the neighbourhood of the Luxemburg , where M . Quinet , the celebrated professor of the College of Prance , resides . The object ot the procession was to do honour to } A . gurnet ior having refused to deliver his course of lectures on the literature of the south since the Minister P ^ uohQ Instruction has mutilated his prospectus ,
by forbidding all mention of the institutions . The procession was very orderly , and no noise " was made beyond occasional cries of 'Vive Quinet , ' ' A has les Jesuites / < fee . On the arrival of the procession at M . gurnets residence that gentleman appeared , and received a deputation sent to compliment him . He thanked the students for their sympathy , but requested that they would quietlv disperse . Notice having been received by the authorities of the intended procession , a large body of the municipal guards were on the spot ; and on the young men crying out * A has les Jesuites . ' they charged along the streets , and several were run down and severely hurt , but none were killed . Twenty or thirty students have been arrested .
Ihe Journal des Mbats of Sunday , in noticing the affair between the police and the students , when the latter went to compliment M . Quinet , savs that the reason why the police interfered was , that the procession was directing itself towards the hotel of the Minister of Public Instruction , with the evident intention of insulting , if not injuring , that gentleman . The National denies this was the case . It says that the students , having delivered an address to M . Quinet , were retiring , when one of their number , who was at the head ofthe procession , called out , "The end of our meeting is now accomplished ; let us disperse ; " and they were dispersing , when some agents ofthe police , in plain clothes , who had mixed among
the students , followed the young man , who gave the word to his fellow students to retire , and who was then separated from his companions , and arrested him , at the same time using him with unnecessary violence . Some labourers and casual passengers , who observed this , expressed great indignation at the conduct of the police , and the young man , on his aide , called to his companions for help . An affray immediately followed . The student was rescued , and the municipal guards ( cavalry ) charged upon the crowd , when a great number were trodden down , and about twenty were arrested . The National says that this is one of those odious sceneswhich will add a new page to the sanguinary history of the police since
1830 . The Sfecle publishes a document from M . Deschatel , Protessor of Rhetoric in the Royal College of Louis-le-Grand , which condemns , in the strongest terms , the conduct , of the police in the disturbances which took place in Paris on Saturday last . "Par be it from us , " says that journal , " to condemn the police force , which has such arduous duties to fulfil , without justgrounds : but let any one peruse the version of the affair given by M . Desehatel , an eye-witness , and it mustappearevident that the police agents acted in a most unjustifiable manner . "
M . Eimle Desehatel , the Professor of , Rhetoric above referred to , was arrested on Saturday by the police , inthe square of the Medical School , as one oi the rioters . It was in vain that he mentioned his profession ; he was collared and ill-treated by the police agents and municipal guards , together with twenty other persons , equally innocent . The prisoners were then placed between a double file of soldiers ; and thus marched through the city like malefactors to the Prefecture , where they remained confined until a delegate of the Commissary of Police came to inquireinto the cause of their arrest . M .
Deschatelremonstrated with that officer , but it was only after two or three hours' confinement that , no charge being adduced against him , he was at last liberated . Some ofthe police agents having penetrated into the School ofAledicine , in pursuit ofthe rioters , and arrested a number of the pupils who were quietly attending the lectures , or engaged in dissecting , M . Orfila , the doyen , caused the intruders to be expelled and the gates ofthe school to be closed , at the risk of being himself apprehended . He next proceeded to the Prefecture , and obtained from the Prefect the immediate release of the prisoners .
"It is not the fault of the police , " says the National , "if the Place de l'Eeole de Medicine was not on Saturday the theatre ot a sanguinary collision . A great number of letters have been addressed to us , which all agree in stating that the police agents appointed to maintain order conducted themselves in an unworthy , odious , and provoking manner . We regret that we cannot , in our present number , publish those communications , but they are so numerous that we have not hadjtime to analyse them . Besides the young men ofthe schools , several witnesses , whose testimony cannot be suspected , amongst others a ' captainof engineers on half-pay , two merchants , and a lawyer , have fully confirmed the above statement . "
More Barbarities in Algeria . —The Paris papers of Tuesday , publish letters from Algeria of the 19 th ult ., which give a description of an enormous razzia made by Marshal Bugoaud in the neighbourhood of Rion , of which the horrors aro so great that they must shock every one having feelings of humanity .
SPAIN . Madrid , Nov . 23 . —Private letters from Barcelona represent the province of Catalonia , particularly those parts near the French frontier , to be in a state of much agitation , in consequence of the attempts made by the Captain-General to enforce the conscription , which is an object of so much hatred to the Catalans . It would appear that there are villages where the whole of the young men have absconded . Part of them have crossed the frontier , and others are still remaining hid in the mountains . All seem determined to abandon their homes and their families rather than submit to the stern discipline of a military life . Several of the letters alluded to regard a rising in the Ampurdan as almost inevitable , in consequence of the rigorous measures adopted by the
Captain-General . The sudden departure of Breton from Gcrona , on the 20 th , in the direction of Plgueras , and with a considerable force of horse and foot , would show some foundation for these fears . The discontent in that part of the kingdom , as well as other parts of Spain , is still greater when the inhabitants contrast the forbearance shown to the Basque provinces with the severity practiced towards themselves . Neither conscription nor contribution has as yet been attempted to be enforced in that favoured part of the Peninsula ; and though I have reason to believe that it is not the intention of government always to except the Basques from the general contribution of Wood and money paid by the rest of the population , yet the exception heretofore made in their favour is not less remarkable , nor less galling to the Catalans .
POLAND . The Conspiracy at Posen . —The Augsburgh Gazette publishes the following details of the conspiracy lately discovered in the capital of the Grand Duchy of Posen : — "A soldier of the 6 th regiment of the Line , by birth a Pole , quartered at Gross Glogau , in Prussian Silesia , obtained a lbrlough . On leaving he told some of his comrades that perhaps he should never comeback ; and that if he did it would be in a character different f rom that in which he then was . This was reported to the commander of the regiment , and roused suspicions , which induced him to stop the man and put him under arrest . Upon him were found a proclamation to the people of Poland , drafts of letters in the Polish language , containing the plans of the conspirators , and the names of the chiefs ,
almost all of whom are nobles of the third and fourth classes . The plans were—first , to endeavour to win over the Polish peasants by promising them liberty , with many advantages ; secondly , to surprise a small town situated near the city of Sulmierrzyclie , kill all the Jews who live in it , thereby drawing thither the garrison Ivrotorzjce , and during its absence seize all the provisions and ammunition with which Krotorzyce is stored , distribute them among the Polish peasants , and thereby enable them to continue the insurrection . The conspirators proposed carrying their projects into execution on the 29 th November , the anniversary of the insurrection of 1830 . The The Prussian government has reinforced all tho garrisons of the Grand Duchy with troops drawn from Silesia "

It is said to have broug ht the melancholy news that the populace had risen in the little town of Samber , and made an attack on the depot of the landwehr . In the town and citadel ot Posen further precautions are taken to oppose betimes , and with energy , the attempts to disturb the public peace . A government order was published at Warsaw qn the 17 th ult ., according to which there are to be in all the Catholic churches an altar which is to be exclusively devoted to the Greek worship . The Greek priest is to have the choice ol the two altars .
BELGIUM . . . Bruges , Dec . 3 . —Yesterday and to-day , bands of workmen have been traversing the streets ot this city . They go to the principal manufacturers to ask for work , which is refused , because those persons cannot pay workmen whom they- cannot employ . The workmen have also been to the burgomaster to represent their situation and to demand work . These assemblages have hitherto been peaceable , but we do not see them formed without apprehension .

;¦ ALGERIA . ihe intelligence from Algiers of the 30 th ult . is thus summed up by the Beforme : — Each mail from Africa brings fresh proofs of the incapacit y of Governor-General Bugeaud . Whilst the Marshal was slowly moving in the south-west of the province of Algiers , and marching and counter-marching during thirty-four days , without any result , Abd-el-Kader left the sub-division of Tlemcen , traversed the whole province of Oran , passed repeatedl y within a few leagues of Marshal Bugeaud , who believed him to have re-entered
Morocco , reached Tiaret the moment the latter evacuated the place , crossed the mountains of Matmata whilst Marshal Bugeaud was amusing himself by measuring their altitude , and then , by a bold and decisive manoeuvre , resolutely advanced towards the south-east to invade the province of Constantino , leaving far behind him Algiers , Marshal Bugeaud , and our columns , which he most skilfully turned and avoided . To give an idea of I ) is . boldness , we need only , observe , that he is now upwards of a" hundred leagues distant from the point at which he entered our territory .

" HOLY ALLIANCE" OF THE POPE WITH : m - ¦ THE TYRANT NICHOLAS . Since the article , in our Tth page , on " The Pope and the Autocrat , " was in type , we have seen the folio wing news from Frankfort , confirmatory of our views as to the alliance ofthe Pope with Nicholas . If the following is true , Poland is finally and completely betrayed by the spiritual despot of the Vatican . The 'Frankfort / oui-nw ^ states , that the differences between 'the Court of St . Petersburg !! and that of Rome , have been arranged , and that Russia will , in future , . strenuously avoid all harsh measures against the Roman Catholic Church , whilst the Holy See is to take care that the Catholic Church shall not interfere in any movements against the state .

Mexican Susdav Amusements . —Mexico , Oct . 28 . —Last Sunday a fight between a lion , brought over from England for the purpose , and a Mexican bull , was to take place on the Plaza de Toros , which is
fitted up alter the fashion ot the Woman circus . The place was crowded to excess , in the expectation of seeing something very beautiful ; but the people were disappointed , for upon the lion being let out , instead of attacking the bull , as was expected , he laid himself very quietly down , and all the poking which lie received from the people , and the worrying of some dogs which wereletin upon him , couldnotbringhim to tight . This was perluips natural , for when ho entered , he was received with such a shout from the populace , that he was completely cowed , which the continued shouting of course increased ; the noise at the same time increasing , the people calling out ' Qui viva el tOl'O Mexicano , qui muero el lion , " < fcc , they considering it as a great triumph for the Mexican bull . The nexfday a publication was sold in the street , entitled "El slorioso Triumfo del Toro Mexicano . "

and three domestics attached to the hospital , were sacrificed . The latter were inhabitants of the Valais , and the former was M . Cart , canon of Callanches , in Faucigny . The accident arose from an enormous avalanche from Mont-Mort to the east of the hospital . It was in contemplation to trace out the road along the Combe , on the side of the valley , and Canon Cart , who was known to be bold , robust , and the most intrepid among the brethren in braving storms , went to direct the operations , as several travellers were expected on that day ; he and his three companions were thus cut off while in the performance ot an act of hospitality and charity . —Galignani ' s Messenger .

Horrible Murder near Borrisokaxe . —In addition to a long catalogue of " Tipperary outrages , " contained in the Dublin news of Wednesday , we observe the following account of a perpetration of a murder , under the most revolting circumstances , near Borrisokanc , on Monday evening . The victim in this instance was a man of the name of Ilogan . He had been in Portumna , we understand , during the day , dis posing of corn , and was returning homewards leading his hone and car , when , at the gate of Kyle Park , he was waylaid and shot dead . The weapon , it is , thought , was a blunderbuss , which must have been placed near the body ofthe unfortunate man , as the clothes were torn by the shot * and partially burned .
A Melancholy Accident occurred a few days ago , at Tivetshall , to the Rev . John Neville White , the rector of that parish . It appears that he had for many months past been suffering from defective vision , and on Tuesday last , in the afternoon , he had occasion to go into a plantation on his premises , where he had been felling some poles ,, for the purpose of looking at them before they were sold . These poles were lying close by the pond , and it is supposed Mr . White stumbled against tho stumps of some of the trees in the path , and was precipitated into the
water . His body was not found for several hours afterwards ; he was then , of course quite dead . The following day an inquest was held on the body , before Mr . John Pilgrim , jun ., deputy coroner . After hearing the evidence , which was of a most conclusive nature , the jury immediately returned a verdict that the deceased "was accidentally drowned . The reverend gentleman bore a most amiable and honourable character , was greatly beloved in his parish , and by a large circle of friends . He was the brother of the po » t , Henry Kirke White , and was in the 61 st year of his age . — -ftiry Post .

I Instance Of Presence Of Mind And Iorti...
I instance of presence of mind and iortitndc . A tew days ago , Samuel Mason , tentorinoneof Mr . Swan ' s mills near Kilkaldy , , met with asevere accident m the following manner : —Having observed a cord entangled with one ofthe belts , he went up a ladder to relieve the same ; but , on doing so- the slack portion of the cord took a turn round his lftft thumb and arm as it was drawn onward by the movement of the belt . Being thus fixed , he foresaw his instant destruction if drawn up to the pulley by the belt , and , with singular fortitude and presence of mind , he grasped a column close by with his arms and legs , and held on till his arm was literally sawed and torn asunder : being thus relieved , he slid down the column to the floor , took off his bonnet and clapped it on the bleeding stump , holding it with his hand , rushed out , and
across the street to-his father-in-law . where , exhausted and breathless , he fell on the floor , before the engine was set off , being the first means by which any assistance could have been rendered him . An express was immediately despatched for surgical aid to Kilkaldy , a distance of more than two miles , when his arm was amputated above the torn part ; but , finding tho bone so much injured , they made another amputation n little Mow the shoulder-joint . He stood the operations well , though he must have been much exhausted from the loss of blood and the unavoidable length of time that elapsed before surgical assistance could bo rendered . Nevertheless , after being carried to his own house in a chair , he went up his own stairs on his feet , and has since been doing wonderfully well .
Fatal Accident on London Bridge . —On Tuesday Mr . W . Payne held an inquest in St . Thomas ' s Hospital , on the body of William Ford , aged thirtyseven years . Deceased was the conductor of one of Whealley ' s omnibuses , and whilst proceeding over London-bridge on the morning of Saturday , the 22 nd ult ., towards High-street , Southwark , the strap behind the vehicle gave way , and the deceased was precipitated into the carriage , and before the driver could stop the horses he was dragged several yards along the ground by his feet , which bv some means
got entangled in the iron scroll-work fixed on the steps , several of the loot-pasaengors ran to him , and extricated him from his frightful position in a state of insensibility . Deceased was removed by two police-constables to the accident-ward of the above hospital , where it was ascertained that he had received a fracture of the left leg below tho knee . The deceased progressed very favourably for the first week , but inflammation of the lungs and pleura subsequently came on ,, causing his death on Sunday morning last . Verdict in accordance with the medical testimony .
Alleged Dkath from Violence . — On Monday morning Mr . William Carter , the coroner for Surrey , and a jury , opened an inquiry in the Board-room of Lambeth workhouse , relative to the death of Eliza Stokes , aged 21 years , late a pauper in the above house , who it was alleged had died from tho effects of violence : —Mr . Thomas Oliver Duko , one of the parochial surgeons , residing at No . 17 , Harleyfordplace , Kennington-common , deposed that the deceased came under his notice about the 14 th of November , as a deceased pauper . Witness placed her under the usual treatment . She had a violent cough and difficulty of breathing . The symptoms increased , and on the 27 th she became much excited , inconsequence of some violence used by two females who were in the same ward , and when witness arrived she had given birth to a child . Deceased had a bruise on
theleft temple . Witness did not take any particular notice of the bruise at first sight , as it seemed of a very slight nature . Witness attended her daily until the morning of Wednesday last , when she died in the absence of witness . Coroner : When you saw the deceased after death , did you attribute her decease to the injury on the hearl , or to nnj- other act of violence ? Witncs : I did , sir , at first in my own mind , but have since made a post mortem examination of the body . There was no injury to the skull and scalp . The brain and its membranes were rather congested . The lungs were diseased and vea-y much inflamed , and were adhering to the pericardium . The ribs were sound , the abdomen aud visoera were also healthy . Witness was of opinion that the deceased died from natural causes , resulting upon the deceased state of her body , which had probably been accelerated by excitement . The jury recorded a verdict of— "Death from natural causes . "
Daring RonnEirr . —On Saturday night , between six and seven o clock , a man called at the door of Mrs . Angus , residing near the foot of Crown-street , lIutchcsoritowH , on thepretence of asking charity . Mrs . Angus , who answered the call , declined to serve [ lira on which the man pushed her aside and entered the house . Immediately thereafter a female , who was not before observed , made her appearance , and seizing Mrs . Angus by the throat , threw her upon the floor and held her therewith a firm grasp . A second man at this moment pushed past them , ft'OIll tllGStflir , and joining the one who had first entered , the twocommenced to plunder the house , there being no grown-up person , with the exception of Mrs . Angus , present . They laid hold of a silver watch , two pairs of blankets , a tartan shawl , a girl ' s velvet tippet , a
cotton gown , and some other avticles ^ pf smaller value , and made an attempt to force a trunk , in which , however , they were unsuccessful . The party then hurriedly left the house , taking _ the articles above * named along with them . . Ml this time Mrs . Angus was under the hands of the f emale , and unable to make the least resistance ; there were children in the house , but of such an ago as to render them incapable of giving any alarm to the neighbours ^ In these circumstances the miscreants made their escape . A more daring instance of robbery we have seldom been called uponio record within the limits ^ f tiieoitv ; and we earnestly trust that the police will be able to secure the depredators , so as to insure the punishment which so serious a crime deserves . —Glasgoto Argus .,
Melancholy Accident . — On Wednesday week , about mid-day , a party consisting of four young men and a girllef ' t the boat-house of Inverdruie , Rothiemurchus , for tho purpose of crossing the Spey . Theie names were John Munro , John Macmillan , and Janet Macdenald—all from Urquhart ; John Mackintosh from Strathnairn ; and Angus Macdnnald , from Kuoydart . Owing to the late heavy falls o f rain in the district , the river was very high , and having partaken of some refreshment , after reaching the opposite shore , the party found themselves surrounded with water in the direction they intended to take-To avoid the distance of going round , which would not be less than half a mile , they proposed taking the boat across , and after they got well over , it was
discovered a safe landing-place could not be found . They plied the oars for some time , and at last were borne down with the impetuous stream , until the boat struck against a tree " , and the whole were precipitated into the water . Macdonald and Mackintosh instantly disappeared . Munro being a powerful young man , succeeded in swimming ashore . Macmillan got his breast across a strong branch of the tree , and the girl got hold below , standing in water to the shoulders , and Macmillan grasping her from above . It very fortunately happened thatsome shepherds were near at the time , and heaving cries for
help , they proceeded to the spot , and iu less than half an hour scores of people were congregated on both sides ofthe river . Boats were procured with as little delay as possible , and several ineffectual attempts were made to rescue the unfortunate sufferers . Macmillan held the young woman fast with one hand for an hour and a-half . No boat , however , getting ; near them , and his strength failing , he could retain his hold no longer , and the girl was swept away by the remorseless current . By three o ' clock he * was rescued from his perilous situation , through tho praiseworthy exertions of Lieutenant John Gordon , of the ( 55 th Regiment . The parties drowned were all unmarried ,
Extensive Fires in Birmingham . — -On Saturday morning an extensive fire broke out in the premises of Mr , Archer , japanner , Summer-lane , in the abovo town , It appears that at two o ' clock in the morning a man named Walton , who remained up to feed the fire and attend to the drying-rooms , perceived smoke issuing from the lower store-room , and on opening the door he saw the place on fire , and flames bursting out of the windows . The alarm was immediately given , and the engines were promptly in attendance ; but
before they could succeed in extinguishing the fire about £ 2 , 000 worth of property were destroyed . Tho cause of the five is yet unknown . A second fire took place about the same hour , at Flint-green , two miles from Birmingham . A number of men were immediately dispatched to the spot , and on their arrival they found a rickyard , containing two stacks oi ? wheat , two stacks of barley , two ricks of hay , two stacks of peas , and one of clover , with a barn and stables , all in flames . In a short time the whole of the property , estimated at about £ 1 , 000 , was de . strayed .
Tjie Berkeswell Murder . —Nathanjsi , Sharp , the surrosBD Culprit , is Custody . —In the course of Wednesday morning , police constable Holmes , of the Coventry force , took a young-looking fellow , of about twenty years of age , before the Mayor of Coventry and other magistrates , on suspicion of belli " concerned in the murder of Thomas . Tranter , an old * resident in the parish of Berkeswell , but who was killed by some person unknown on the 17 lla ultimo . 1 he Hall of St . Mary ' s was much wowded . The pri . soner gave his name as James Reed—same- name as the person who is supposed to have committed the murder , and who has likewise absconded , and the particulars of his apprehension are these : —He is a
labourer , out of employment , ami came from Denham m Buckinghamshire , twenty-three miles from Aylesbury . He was detained n ' t the Aylesbury Policeoffice , as applying there on Saturday night last for a bed , on his giving the name of James Reed . The attention of the officer in waiting was more particu larly directed to him on giving this name and exl amincd him closer . . It appears that , in his opinion he corresponded with the description given in tha government Gazette , of _ Young Reed , of Berkeswell and he was accordingly detained . Holmes broug ht .
