things , bat she would never let her ceme into the '" room . On Saturday she sent for some laudanum , - _^ and took a portion of it ; she said it would assuage her pais . On Wednesday she was found dead in - lied . The coroner Bo you think that she took the laudanum for the purpose of destroying life ? _Witness 8 _aidshe thought she had been in such a state of _- want , and as she herself said her stomach was destroyed fir-m want of food , that tbe laudanum had had a great effect on her . On the Wednesday when -she saw her she thought deceased was stupified from the effects of laudanum . Coroner : Do yon think -herdeath was a natural one ?

Mr Brooks said he was sot unless sn order bad been obtained , but he would in a case of emergency . A juror : Tbe last jury I was on he would cot , and the woman was dying . The foreman and one or two of the jury said they had no doubt the laudanum had accelerated her death , from extreme weakness arising from want , but ultimately a verdict of 'Natural Death' was -returned .

HISCJLLA 5 B 0 CS . Marylebwb Reform Association . —At a meeting of members held on Saturday night , at the Esmouth Arms , _Exmouth-street , _flampitead-road , a resolution was confirmed which _declared this association to be finally dissolved . There was considerable oppotation to the measure , which gave rise to some warm discussion .

Eases Rbp . _ikt op 4 Morbbk . —Last week we copied _, -an account of a _triple murder which wa 3 reported to have taken place at Fool ' s Cray , in Kent , the report appeared in the _« Morning Chronicle / * Morning Herald , ' and « Morning Post , ' on Friday morning . The * Observer' of Snnday Bays " : — From theexceedingly tragic character of the details , the report , as might be exre _:-ted , excited a great sensation . Anxious to procure the most accurate and copious particulars , a _centleman was immediately dispatched to the place where the dreadful deed was said to "have been committed . On his arrival at Foot ' s Cray , he was surprised to find that not only was the wholestory a fabrication , but that , the simple villageis , removed from the sphere of the daily press , had
not even heard the report of the atrocious crime alleged to have been perpetrated almost at their own -doors . They one and all expressed the greatest surprise at tbe circumstance of any one having represented their peaceful and innocent locality to have been the scene of so great an enormity . On inquiry it was ascertained tbat there are lo such persons in the -village as Ellen Lawson and her _t-vo children : neither is there any inn with the sign of'The Plough . ' The whole story , _eo circumstantially described , owes i _« e existence to the inventive faculties ofthe writor . A more heartless hoax was never practised on the public . It is difficult to conceive what could have been the objects of the person who has been guilty of thus outraging the feelines of the
oatare community . The police , as well as the public , were "deceived by the minuteness with which the painful details wero given respectine ; the murder . Na fewer than five _gentlemen from London visited the place in tha course of the day , for the purpose of learning tbe particulars , and were as much surprised as our repwter in fading thc village of Foot ' s Cray iaits usual ttate of perfect calm , instead of being in * the state of utmost consternation , ' in which tbeinventor ofthe audacious hoax represented it to be One ofthe persons who went to make inquiries was misled a second time by a gentleman he met in the neighbourhood of Foot's Cray , who told him that the
crime had actually been committed , but that it was at the village of Wilmington , a place three or four miles distant , and at which there is an inn with tiie sign of' Tbe Plough . ' Thither the party went , but found that the second report was as groundless as the first Various other persons left town with the 2 " ew of proceeding to Foot ' s Cray , tolearxr thestate matters ; but ascertained , atdJferent points of _tS _^ _jpurney , thatthe story was a piece of pure _invention from beginning fo end . The public will be gtlad to learn that every effort will be made in the pro _^ . quartcr to di _scover the author of the _fabricaiicavsna confident hopes are entertained that tbey _rnu _} fie wcoessful- Ko _panisiuoeat could be _gujfi

It appears the rev . gentleman read prayers in the morning , and afterwards christened or baptised several children in the churoh . He eat his dinner as _ubusI , and at half-past two o ' clock he was found dead in his bed , with his throat cut in a shocking manner . A razor was found in his hand . No reason can be assigned for the rash act . Deceased was abont sixty years of age . Lush Pauper Immi « iution . —The stream of Irish

Within tha last fortnight they have been on the increase ; the numbers arrived being 8 , 639 persons landed np to the 17 th inst ., or 511 per day against 315 in the previous month . Since the 15 th of January , when-Mr Dowling , the high constable , first kept a record cf the daily _arrivals , 262 , 675 immigrants have arrived in Liverpool _,, of whom , with the exception of those who have proceeded to America , and the few who have returned at onr expense to their own conntry , the bulk are scattered about the eonntry .

Se was -sentenced to nine months ' imprisonment in Lancaster Castle . Livbhpool . —The _Co-tciection op Mahihb Stobs _Daalbbs wits Cauta . —Monday a case came on for hearing at the police court , which unfortunately showed the intimate connection which , some , at least , of the marine store dealers of that town have
with the felonies which are being constantly perpetrated within the precincts of the bomegm Two wretched-looking children- apparently in the last stage of disease , who gave their names as * Michael _Keegan and Honor Keegan , brother and sister , were bronght before Mr Rushton , on a charge of having been concerned in therobbery of a variety of agricultural preduoe , and Richard Saville was , at the same time , brought up and charged , as a marine store dealer , residine at No . IS , Sparling-street , with _havingrectivedthe same , _knowing it to-be-stolen . Soma idea of the extent of the _robb-wee—for they were effected at various times and from several warehouses—maybe learned from the Mowing detail of them , which was handed to the eoutt . A
barrel of oats , a barrel of wheat , a portion of a bag of split peap , a barrel of Indian corn , and seven bags of Indian wheat . The children were seen to enter Saville ' * premises on Saturday , with about eleven pounds of Indian corn in a bag , and though no portion ofthe remainder of the stolen property was as yet discoverable , yet there was very little doubt upon the mind of the officer thai all of it had found ita way to _Saville'B store . Tbe warehousemen whe * gave evidence as to the quantity missed from the premises oftheir employers , stated that entrance had been effected in most instances by breaking the padlocks on the outer doors , and then cutting away the boarded partitions which separated the rooms from the staircases . Mr Rushton ordered the prisoners to be remanded , and in doing so informed Mr
Dowling and the oflicers that no expense ought to be spared in unravelling tha whole ofthe circumstances connected with the present most important case to the n > _oreanti ' e community . It was essential to the pilica themselves that they should leave no stone unturned to ascertain all the particulars connected with it . It appeared pretty plain that if they could now succeed in cutting off the source , they would also succeed in cutting off the effect ofthe crime in the borough , for here were two wretched children about to te made into confirmed thieves bythe villainy of their seniors in understanding aawell as in years . Saville , he understood , was the successor of a man , in the same street , who had been carrying on _asimilar nefarious game to the present , but he must be checked , exposed , and , if proof was forthcoming , punished .
YORKSHIRE . Mr Cordbh—A correspondent ef the Stoetport Advertiser asserts that , 'in the event of Mr Cobden ' s electing to sit for the West Riding of Yorkshire , it is intended to contest the seat for Stockport on the Conservative interest , by an influential free-trader of Conservative opinions . ' Brow and thi Scotch Law 0 ? Marbiaob . — A curious case of bigamy came before the Huddersfield magistrates last week . Mr Jonas Hellawell , the son of a respectable _Ira-feeman in Huddersfield , was sent in his youth to study medicine in Glasgow . He completed his studies in 1835 . During the latter part of the time he was residing in Glasgow he lodged at the house of a Mr Nicol , who had two daughters , the
eldest of whom proved enceinte , and Mr Hellawell was the reputed father of the child . When this circumstance was discovered , Mr Hellawell removed to other apartments , but continued to visit Miss Nicol regularly afterwards . A consultation was held by the family , to know what muBt be done with respect to Miss Nicol ' _s situation , when it was decided that her brother John shoald invite Mr Hellawell to take coffee witb him one evening ; which he did . This was in 1833 . At this meeting tbere were present Mr and Mrs Nicol , their two daughters , their son John , and Mr Hellawell The old gentleman began to speak of Margaret's being likely _sooa to become a mother , when , it is alleged , Mr Hellawell remarked , ' Ob , Mr NiroL we are married ; are we not ,
Margaret ? ' To which she replied , 'Yes . * 'Then , ' said Mr Nicol , ' we will say no more about it / It is said be neither asked when , nor where , nor how . Since that period Mr Nicol and his son are dead ; and now , after a period of fifteen years , a charge of bigamy is brought against Mr _Hellawoll because he has refased to advance money for the maintenance and education of the ' child , now nearly fifteen years old . Ia 1833 Mr Hellawell established himself as a practising surgeon in Huddersfield ; in 1811 he married a lady of some fortune in that town , and which marriage took place openly and publicly in the parish church , and was proclaimed to the world in all the local newspapers . By this marriage Mr Hellawell has a boy about four years old , but his wife died in March ,
1815 . The prosecutrix states tbat she had no idea thathe had got married nntil about eight months since ; she states that during this long period she never received a letter from Mr Hellawell , bnt had herself frequently written to him . — -A _professional eentleman from Glasgow appeared before the bench to expound the Scotch law of marriage , whioh he divided into regular and irregular marriages . This , he stated , was an irregular marriage ; but , according to the laws of Scotland , stood good . When the wholo evidence had been summed op , and the defence made , the bench stated that their decision was to hold Mr Heilewall to bail , himself in a surety of £ 50 , and two others of _£ 25 , to answer the charge at tho York assises . The decision was received by the audience with no little surprise .

Jfc , going to the-rate of 12 J- knots an hoar , the night being very clear , witb little wand and a calm , sea , ' a steamer was seen ahead , onr courss being at tbe time about S . W .- In a few minutes after tbe
steamer hove in sight , which proved to be tbe Minerva , from Dublin , sbe was observed making her coarse straight forour starboard . A collision seemed inevitable , while the crew of the Vanguard did all in their pnwerto- avert the coming danger . It would be impossible to describe the feelings tbat filled the breasts of thoso on deck air the time . On the two ; vessels first meeting the bowsprit of the Minerva went throng fr the _starbsard bow of the Vanpard ; and , againyon passing , oame a tremendous crash on the same side ot _tbo-vessel , causing the utmost consternation to all on beard : Dhe _passengerSv including three or four ladles , had mostly
retired to bed at the time ofthe collision , but were speedily on deck habited- in _thear-nigbt dresses . Application was made forthe boat _& of the Minerva but no answer was returned from that vessel . From the commencement of therenoontre the people ofthe Vanguard , particularly the blaok- _yeaths from below , were the most anxion * to qnit the ship , whioh was thoaght a bad omen regarding our-oondition . Although-very much crushed : we made no water , the damage- done being about three feet above water ; nevertheless our captain deemed it-prudent to return to * the Clyde . A minute was-drawn out and signed by a majority of the passengers , expressive of tbeir approval of the conduct of the captain and
crew . Naibv . —A new breakwater has been built at the port ot "Nairn . The ereotion is ot wood and stone , and jots out teaward for 1 , 29 * feet , with a slight angle at Ha outer end .

The port has a northern exposure ,, and . before the election * of the breakwater , vessels lying in the bay , or at the mouth of the river , were subject to great peril in north and north-east winds .

' ,. . Garbtpinb , Tuesday night , October 12 , nine o'clock . —The meeting of the peasantry which was to have taken placo yesterday en the hill of Garryfine ( and which excited so much attention in the conntry ) was postponed by general consent to this
day . At an early hour this morning the peasantry fromthe surrounding localities flocked _inmultitudinons masses to the focus of attraction , and at the hour of twelve o ' clock the hill of Garryfine presented a most formidable appearance . There could not have been less than 2 , 000 persons assembled on the occasion . * The meeting was held on that part of the mountain which is nearest the Croomroad , and on its highest summit the people took their stand to proclaim their miseries and make known their want ? . The Bound of the peasants'bugle was heard from all directions during the greater part ofthe day , and owing to the elevated position of the _meeting tho inhabitants of Bruree , Rockhill , Charleville , ' Kills * colla , arid Drew ' s court , could easily discern the assemblage .
At the hour of three o ' clock , tho meeting proceeded to deliberate , and after a few moments it was unanimously resolved that all should proceed to tho residence of MrFetbentone , J . P ., Bruree , and in the name of mercy and suffering humanity invoke his friendly aid and intercession at a crisis pregnant with misery and woe . On the way to Bruree , the _procession halted at Rockhill . The Rev . Mr _Mtany , the curate , presented himself before the people and addressed them- , The reverend gentleman _advispj them to preserve order and refrain from any _tay . a \ . _festation of indignant feeling or outrage on prop erty , which might expose them to tbe _consequeneCj of the law . lie would advise them to make _knqv their grievances in a proper quarter .

Arrived in that locality they surrounded the residence of Mr FetherBtone , J . P ., where they > ere met by that gentlemen and the Rev . Mr Ryan , P . P . Mr Fetherstoue presented himself before the hungry assemblage , and told them that he as-an individual could not take upon himself any responsibility beyond his province . He would feel delighted to act in con- _, ert With the gentlemen of the coantry and do all in hiB power to mitigate the wants of tbe poor . They were aware that the new poor-law provided tbat all the able-bodied paupers would enter tbe workhouse of each union , and that the aged , the infirm , and the
decrepid would be set at large to be supported by out door relief under the authority of the new poor-law . At this announcement the people became enraped , and after some angry exhibitions seized on Mr _Fetherstone ' s cattle . These they drove to the premises ofthe Rev . Mr Massy , whose stock they lessened by bi ' x or seven fat cows and bollocks , and , without offering the least apology to his reverence , took their departure for Garryfirie , and along the publio road , fired some volleys of powder in the air , in order , it ia considered , to let the neighbours know that they passed that way ' . When the cattle were driven into tbe little hamlet of Rookhill the people were all astosnded at such an unusual exhibition , and every
farmer in the neighbourhood viewed it with alarm , each apprehensive lest his own cattle might be taken . The people were main met by . the Rev , Mr Ryan , who admonished tbem against tbeir proceedings , but instead of acting on his counsels they entered his own yard , _seized his cattle , and carried tftem away tothe other captive animals . The Rev . Mr Ryan _loihwed them on horse * -back for some distance beyond the village ; and repeatedhis exhortation . The people at length yielded to his persuasions . Tbe better feelings of the pea 8 ant ' _sheart gave way .

8 TAT * MOB-KANTURK . A correspondent ofthe Cork Examiner ; writing from Kanturk , under the date of October 18 , gives a frightful account ofi ' the state of the poor in that neighbourhood . He says tbe 13 th being beard-day , there were a good number ofthe guardians met , The hungry creatures- became so clamorous for food , that tho soldiers were obliged to be sent fo > . One of these poor fellows touched , either by intention or otherwise , one of the _ea officios . He was immediately
put in irons . There were 40 _fr admitted this day . There was also a large concern taken that would accommodate 300 more . In addition to tbis , the consumption of out-door relief for tbe week will be over forty tons of meal . This will give an idea of our situation in Duhallow . We are entering on a season of the most feariul foreboding ; the poor _without clothes , food , or shelter ; nofriend scarcely to feel for them except the kind-hearted landlord-, who orders them off his lands ,, and out of his sight , that he might not see nor hear from them .
_KES-STAWCB TO POOR SATB 3 . There are some indications of a dogged resistance to the collection of the rates for the support of the poor , even in some parts of Ulster . 'Tommy _Downshire , ' the northern Captain Roek , is beginning to move . It appears from a statement in the Banner of PWerthat 'Tommy' has fixed bis head quarters in the electoral division of Tullylisb , a portion of the union of Lurgan , extending iato the county of Down . In another northern county the same spirit of resistance is exhibited , as will be seen bythe following extract from the Monaghan Standard .- — 'There is at present a wide-spread desire among
the peasantry and farmers of this , county to avoid , and if necessary to resist , the payment of the nates which have just been struck in tbe various unions by the respective boards of guardians—net ,, however , that the people wish to escape the legitimate _burdet- of the poor of tbe county , but beeause they conceive that the major part ofthe heavy rate is destined to repay the relief , such as it was , afforded to this part ofthe empire during the late national calamity , ' It appears from the Tipperary Tindieator , that tbe farmers in some parts of the Nenagh Union are still opposing the payment _« f the poor-iate , and that the collectors in the _Templederry division have been hunted off , and , ih _soeae _instances , * compelled to eat the notices . '
_msMASBS Wi _OOT-DO 0 R BB 1 U *? . The Cork Examiner contains an account ofthe proceedings of the - Kanturk board of guardians on Tuesday , _whicj _^ _shows that the distrust is in an alarming state . That _j-j urnal says :- 'From a representation to the _authorities that a popular demonstration was _intended , and violence apprehended , if out-door relief wer ' d not granted to tho able-bodied , two companies oi the 26 th , under Captain Parke , and a large police force uader- Mr Wade , were drawn up inside the entrance gate . J . Baily , Esq ., R . M ., was in
attendance . About two 0 clock a large concourse of people , about 500 , from the parishes of Kilbolane , and Shandrum , adjoining the county of Limerick , raarohed _eigM deep through the town to the poor _, house , vowing vengeance against the guardians if they did not get work or gratuitous _' reliei ; arrived at the entrance gate , and seeing tfie military and police _pOBted within , they contented themselves with interrupting the ingress and egress of the guardians for about an hour ; when they marched off again . Fortunately no disturbance occurred . '
OPPOSITION IO TUB _PATMBNT OF RKKTS . In Mayo , and some other parts of the western province , there appears to be a regular scramble for _thecrops between tbo chief landlords ( who are grfncrally weighed down by embarrassments ) , the middlemen , and the farmers—large and small . Io all directions keepers are watching the crops , to prevent their removal ; and the peasantry , upon the other hand , are exerting their ingenuity to _make _* away with the produce , whilst the collectors of the poor-rate find it almost impossible to obtain anything for the support of the destitute . The result of all this
contention is , that little , either of rents or rates , _iapnid . In one instance ah agent—himself a man-of station and property—bas determined to abandon the agency of an estate in Mayo , the rental of which is £ 10 , 000 per annum , on account of the impossibility of collecting rents from the multitude of "mall occupiers . Of this _extensivo estate some thousands of acres are held by persons in the rank of gentry , who pay a very small acreablerent , and who , in ordinary years , have derived large incomes from the tub-tenants . Those parties are paying their rents pretty well-, because , if arrears weie allowed to accumulate , the sort of estate they possess would bo lost by _tjQctment .

report insists that England can find no dithculty m an advance of this amount , for she expended , in 1813 , upon a useless war , £ 147 , 000 , 000 ; and , in 1815 , in the prosecution of the same mischievous war , £ _174 , 000 ; _CK } 0 .

tbe defendant , who was _unknowa-. to her relation * , but bad prevaikd upon ber to leave , her father's house by promising to marry her . The girl suddenly appeared before _henfatfaer a few days ago , and' after having , in the most aStcting manner , _eipresiedi her sorrow and contrition , said ehe had been abandoned . by the man for whom she had made 10 great & sacrifice , aad wbo had sent her tin following letter , in _> which was inclosed the _libtral presMtof £ 5 _tocoroforkand support her . It appeared that Mr Kavanagh had paid his attentions to her under tha name of Kent .

The letter was _addretsedS' _-Mrs Kent , No . — , Dakeitreet _^ _Fortland-place , Lo & don . " B > - the instrumentality of the bauk . note the real name and address of Mr Kavanagh was _discovered . Tha-father of the girl ascertained at the Bank that the note , whioh was numbered 18 , " -13 , aud bore date September ISth , had been paid at the establishment on tbo Sth instant , to William Henry Earanagb , Esq ,, of tlie Adelaide Hotel , _London-hridge . _Applleallen was _mada- to Inspector Todlinnter _, who finding ; tbat all the girl ' s clothes bad dliappeared-when she . left tha bouse , readily directed one of his nun . to apprehend and bring the offender to tbe Mansion-house . It waB soon fouad that Mr ivavaaagh , instead of- having left town for _Franc _^ had slept at the Adelaide Hotel on Sunday night , and tbat he had contrived to gefr . tho letter

The father of tha-girl stated that on the 27 th . of- July the prisoner . took , away his daughter from Lame , vntheat his knowledge , and until Wednesday last she was not teen by any ofi her family ., The girl took with her » ost of her _eloihe-, and thoy were found at the lodging in _Duke-strcet _^ . and conveyed to the station-house . They were , tho- witness ' considered , his paoperty , and he requested thatthe Lord Mayor wouid remand tbe defendant " , aa more evidtnee could , ia alt probability , be procured in a day or two . Mr . H _. nba-j , a friend of the oomplainant , said the defendant , upon being asked at the atation-bousa whether the letter addressed to Mrs Kont > ' and signed * H , ' . was in his handwriting , said at oaco that it was . ( the letter was evidently laboured for the purpose of , escaping detection . ) The defendant said he had writen it in a state of desperation . There must have been some subtlety in the letter
getting posted at Dover . John Davis , city policeman , 554 , stated that he called at t ! _-e house in Duke-street , ln which Mr Kavauagh and the lady resided , and he brought away tbe articles of dress belong _, ing to the lady . Tbe landlord of the house in Dukestreet , in which the defeudant resided with tbe lady , stated that she was introduced as the wife of tho defendaut . They had the drawing-room . The father of the girl said he had every reason to suppose that tbe defendant was a mau of large property , and a member of some ofthe club-houses at the west end of the town . The Lord Mayor : _WelLMrKavansgh , do you wish to 8 a ; anything upon this subject ? Tha defendant shook bis . head . The Lord Mayor : Tour name is Kavanagh , I suppose f The defendant said nothing , The Lord Mayer : Are you a married or a single man ?—The defendaut : A single man . The father of the girl said it bad been ascertained that the defendant had
lodged in the neighbourhood of his house , for the purpose of accomplishing his _objaot , for three months . The Lord Mayor ; Defendant , you can use yonr own discre _tioa as to offering anything ln explanation . The defendant : Those articles wbicb it is presumed I havi I stolen , were never out o ! the possession of the young lady . They belonged to her , and were _constantly iu her _possessior . I must say tbat she was never without money . She has had £ 20 at a timo in her pocket , and has never boen without money up to the timo of her dis covot y by her father . I hav 8 been very roughly treatod _Ihavehe . n confined all the night in the station-house ' and dragiftd through the streets like a felon . The Lord Mayor : You might have heen hailed . Inspector Todhunter : My lord , Mr Kavanagh never applied to me to accept of hail . I certainly said nothing at all ahout boil to him , for I looked upon the case as a very had one - . but if he had produced ball , I would of course _havoacoepted it
. I was present when the father ofthe lady appeared and I never witnessed more bitter misery , and I did u _„ t think it incumbent upon me to make any communication _calculate to diminish whatever the defendant might be suffering . Amongst the papers found upon tbo person of the defendant , were _sotse blank _oheques of the London and _Westmirister Bank , and some letters whioh plainly ] indicated _tiat Mr Kavanagh had largo pecuniary resources .
