memorable separation from the pansn » atock , and in proportion a » the sph-. re of its influence extends does tboMdioxiwax bolder in its exposures of the hollo ^ -heartedness of its late lea . ler . Speaking of thcoalumnions charges preferred against ltbyihe pai . l attaches of Conciliation Hall , and directly oh »«« ing Mr . O ' Connellwith fostering the falsehoods of his toadies , the organ thus bitterly remarks : — Among the fatal mistakes the historian will chronicle in ihe career of O'Connell , it mil stand recorded that he unwisely preferred to work with base tools , —tliflt , le « d-
fc-r three generations , the highest passions , the unconquerable energy and genius of vrhieh he might hare harcessed to any honest purpose , he drove them from bin , generation after generation , aurrouno'insf himself at all times with men too d-pendent to rebel , and too contempfible to be dangerous . And pos terity will pause in wonder ( if they Snd no sufficient kej to the »*»« £ » . flut this sagaciousman overlooked the truth , •» *™« anfl unive ^ -that only »«^*^ Jf ^^ X ofknaves ; thatfor any honest purpose they are , in all case * . promptly or nltimately , miaous •«««•• . remote l of ~ men »*
A second fatal error , the re « - „ tsniporarj difficulties with some ingemou ^ expedieut , to teiir « sently tlironn » s ^ « fol « otten - . ¦ , Aid the evil did not end at home , for error is a seed in e ven grain of which lies a future harvest . These tenu-orw triumphs were won at the cost of our national character and moral strength . English statesmen and the English people ome to regard ns as brawlers and braggarts ; and many ft remonstrance , which from a Brif ' sh community would have made a guilty Minister tremhle in his sear , was thrown aside as so much waste paper blotted with lies and nonsense . Mr . O'Connell himself his had many a hard struggle
against this spirit of his own conjuring . Two of the latest instances every one will recollect . For eighteen meriihs ef the present agitation the country held away from him , because they did not believe in him in earnest ; they thought Repeal was sow , as before , his " mz ^ na to an and'' —at this moment they fly from him , \ tSaOl ¦ ifcej b « U « Y » nun in league with Lord John Kosaeli . Here IS the penalty of past errors . For fortune doe * indeed " make of our pleasant victs whips to < cotuge ns with . " If , throughout his career , he had ipokeu and acle-l only the rigid truth , trampling on falsehood wherever it presented Itself as his ally , what man could hare dared to doubt him in either instance !
And imagination can scarce picture so grand aud power , ful a position as he would occupy in this country , in these kingdoms , if the sagacious and powerful ni : in , full of resources , indomitable and nntirin ;; , had moreover the fuli trnst of thoughtful men as a leader of stable veratitj , and clear , approved unselfishness . Alas ! that ho ihoald hare sold this gigantic power , second only to the angels , for some petty triumphs and a mess of pottage . STATE OF THE CODSIRT . Ttjiumobh . —Upwards ot fifty prisoners were escorted to the gaol of this town this evening ( Mondavi , by an officer and company of the 16 th Foot , and committed to stand their trial for their share in the late food rio : s at Birr .
To estate of this country is getting very alarming . lie general feeling of the farmers in this neighbourhood is , that they should not pay more than half lent : Many take advantage of the times , and say ther can pay none ; and if they are threatened with legal proceedings either to eaforce payment or put them out of possession , the ; answer . " Who wili dare take your land over our heads , or who will dare sell or bid for our goods ?" It is a fact that the licensed auctioneers have been threatened , and noticed not to sell for rent ; and to get law processes served is most difficult . Last week a sheriff ' s bailiff , of the name of Fetiix , went 10 serve a writ on a defaulting tenant , who , when he found what he had got , sent hisservant boy after him to shoot him ; but was providentially prevented by a
neighbour makin < r his appearance at the time . On being questioned by Fenix why he ran after him with the gun ( which was loaded with ball ) , he said lie was only going to shoot crows . The horses of ths 2 nd , or Queen ' s Dragoons , billetted at a hotel in this town , were turm d out of the stables a few nights ago by some countrymen , who insisted that thtir horses should have a preference . 'Ihe dragoons , finding their horses turned one , returned the compliment , and the countrymen , no way daunted , endeavoured to reinstate their " Ro-8 inaQti , " when 3 8 C 6 Be of pulling and hauling commenced wh ch alarmed the neighbours , several ot whom remonstrated with the countrymen , who , at length . Teiy reluctantly gave way .
THB POTATO CROP . Within the last week the quality of the stocks sold in the Dublin ' markets sii iwed a marked improvement over previous supplits , being , comparatively at least , dry and palatable instead ot being as hitherto spongy and nauseous to the taste . There lias been , too , a considerable reduction in the prices , the fall ranging from 2 d . to 53 . per etone . The last advice 3 from America have had a most beneficial effect in pulling down the moustrons rates obtained for all kin >! s of provisions since the commencement of the food panic . The following gratifying statement is from the Armagh Guardian : —
" We are . happy to state that several account * ¦ which hare reached us confirm the hope that tne disease in the potato crop has ceased its ravages among the greater portion remaining . Captain Rodgera , ofEden Cottage , Loughall , informs us that ne had a cart-load of as fine potatoes as ever be saw in his life , drawn home from Lis field on TacsiJai last . They are of the sort called Rallygawley pinks , and from different other gentlemen we learn that this kind of potato has generally escaped . A gentleman who has just travelled from Derry , through Sirabane , &c , informs ns that on his way he inquired particularly of those who were digging their potatoes , and that one-third of the crop , at least , is safe In ojt own county the proportion is even greater . " THE ASII-BDSSELL MOVEMENT .
The gentlemen constituting the Pojr Relief meeting of Inchiqnin . in the county of Clare , have pnt forward a series of resolutions for the instruction of ihe Iriah government , among whichis the
following : — That our distance from the seat of government renders it difficult to make our exact position duly appreciated ; but we feel that if a British Ministry could view the destitution tint exists amongst the poor , and com * prebend the embarrassment and ruin in which the classes above them must be involved , by casting the entire burden of this visitation of Providence solely on one species of property , and which may ultimately lead to a destruction of the union , as well as the best interests of the empire , they would not , they could not , hesitate to adopt some more ' equitable principle , by which the mortgagee , the annuitant , ths fundholder , and all classes of the community would be compelled to contri . hnte , with the aid of national funds , to meet this most direful national calamitv .
The Clare Journal , a conservative paper , commenting upon a reply from the commissiarat to an application for a loan or grant from one of the District Belief Committees , says : — We tell Lord John Russell that he has out to pursue a little longer this course , and he may depend on it he will heal the breach amongst the old and young Irelanders . He this day gets a significant hint , in the resolutions we publish from the Inchigoin Committee , of the " evils of hating ihe seat of government SO distant . ' He and his officials here , by their insane and heartless conduct , will do more to swell the ranks of Repealers , than all the monster meetings that O'Connell could congregate for a hundred years . ' A few days more , _ and he may find that if Clare was before now the first amongst the many toprove what a people could accomplish , she
will be found again to take a lead in the national morement to drive from office men who proclaim by their subordinates they disregard the sufferings of the Irish , and who , by their own acts , prove they are unable to meet such an taergency as we are now only in the commence , mentot They had sufficient warning of the condition Of the people of this country . They were not a week in office when they were told that the food of this country had disappeared ; they let things take their cour 3 e without any effort to ward off femine . They depended upon Pr ovidence to work miracles for them , like the carrier who called upon Jupiter to take his wh « l out of the mire ¦ w ithout any effort on his own part . The rebuke of the godbroughtthe carrier to his senses ; but we might as ¦ well expect the cart to right iteelf a = to remove the dogredness of the little fretful 3 Gnister nith whom this country is just cursed .
SUSPENSION OP PUBLIC WORKS . The Lord Lieutenant has issued a proclamation to the inhabitants of the barony of Upper Tulla , county Clare , andadjoining districts , in which , afterstaung presentment ^ upwards of £ 20 , 000 , had been agreed to by the govarnmunt , and all necessary preparations made for setting the people to work , and that in some places operations had already begun , his lordship proceeds to say , that he " has learned that the preparations made have , for the present , beea frastrated by a system of insubordination and outrage which endangers the lives oTttie officers and overseers ,
and deters the pour and peaceable inhabitants from labouring on the works . The Lord-Lieutenant desires most earnestly to point out to the people the serious consequences to themselves from such a course of conduct . The obstruction to offices In the disGhorse ofthuir duties creates in the first instance confusion and alarm ; it has the ulterior effect , ulready apparent , of necessarily suspending all further progress in the works ; and combined wM tne outrages committed on private pereons andjiroperty , must preclude a ; y attempt for tnecouiiniujd employment of the destitute poor . The workain the district have , in con cqueace , been
Suspended . ... He then states that he has made all necessary ar rangementsfor repressing outrage , and calls upon all parties to refrain from further obstruction or injury to persons engaged in laying out or supenintending public works . He will then gladly direct the immediate resumption of those works , in the conviction that they will prove the means of preserving ihe people from that destitution and ruin ubicha peneTerance in their past line of conduct , must , ie fears inevitably produce .

MARLB OBOUGH STBBET . ElOPBMENT . —Mrs . Hambrook , dressmaker , of Kew Bond-street , from whose house her niece had eloped a few days ago . came to this court to state that all tlie attempts of the police to trace the girl had hitherto been uuavaling . Mrs . Hambrook further said , that she wished to make a reply to the statements of one of her assistants , who with her father had made an application to the magistrate to got htr boxes restored , and who was represented to have strongly denied all knowledge and participation in the wretehed girl ' sflight . There wns no truth iu this denial . The young woman , whose name was Parsons , was cognisant of a great deal more than
she chose to arow . Indeed , Miss Parsons had admitted as much to the police officer in thepresence of her father almost immediately after her return from making her application to the magistrate . After Miss Parsons returned to her house on Friday , it came out that she had been brought to town by a gentleman , who , after remainin ); with her some time , left hfir lodging » t a public house in Soho , from which place she was turned out after her clothes had been seized for rent . Miss Parsons , about a year ai ; o , was in ' roduced to a well-known house of infamy in King-street , and it was to this , very house that her unfortunate niece had proceeded on the evening of he * elopement . She had further ascertained that the keeper of this infamous house had been introduced to her
niece by Miss Parson 3 , and that another person had been brought into her home by Miss Parsens , who had made up the dress which her niece took with her when she quitted tho house . Her niece took away her clothes in a cab , and it was Miss Parsons who nssistedher in effecting this object , and who had let her in on her return from depositing her clothes in King's-place , From particulars that had been collected , she believed that Miss Parsons knew the gentleman with whom her niece had eloped ; indeed , very little doubt existed on her mind thatit was the same gentleman who had seduced , and afterwards abandoned , Miss Parsons . She had asked Miss Parsons to tell her this gentleman ' s name but she referred her to her father , who knew , she said , of her misfortunes
before she entered into her present situation . She ( applicant ) wished to know whether the magistrate could not compel Miss Parsons to disclose the gentleman ' s name , and to state all she knew about the affair . Mr . Hard wick replied he knew of no power which a magistrate possessed that conld effect such a purpose . Mrs . Hambroob said the parents and relatives of Miss Jarris were in a state of great distress at her loss . - The mother had received a letter from her fugitive daughter , dated Cambridge , and stating that she had got another situation in Cambridge , but from the tissue of deception throughout the whole affair , in which she considered her servants and some of her workpeople were equally involved , she w « i doubtful how far this clue could be relied on
Mr . Hardwick said , if a girl chose to adopt a life of profligacy , he feared that neither parents , friends , nor magistrates would be able to turn her from her infamous aud degrading course , In this case a magistrate could give no further assistance . If the girl was discovered , and any article not absolutely her property was found on her , she might bu detained until her parents were apprised of her situation . This was all the advice and assistance be eould now render in this painful case . ( It does not appear on the face of the evidence "the girl chose a life of profligacy , " but rather , that she is one of the numerous victims of an Infernal and organised system of ssductlon , liy which wealthy monsters carry distress into the domestic circles of those who have not equally lone purses . )
SOUTHWARK . - Complicated Depbivity . —Margaret Filler , a good looking young woman , was charged with . taking a quan . tity oi laundanum for the purpose of destroying herself . The defendant formed an attachment for a man named Yardley , carrying on business in Bvrmondsey , and they bad been en terms of intimacy for some mont hs . On a recent occasion , however , she discovered that h « was a married man , aud acting upon the information she received , she went to his place of business for the purpose of upbraiding him for his duplicity towards her in not ¦ livulgiug the fact of his having already a wife . Subsequently sbe purchased a quantity of laudanum , in small quantities , at different chemists' shops , until she procured as much as would destror several persons . She
then proceeded to Tnrdley ' s house on Suwiav , and re quested to have an interview with him , declaring tbat she was about to leave town , and tbat it was the last she would require . She was then shown into the apartment where Yardlsy and his wife were sitting , and , after' addivssing a few uordg to him , indicative of her feelings , drew forth a small bottle from her pocket , and , conveying it to her mouth , immediately swallowed the contents . She was quickly conveyed to Guy ' s Hospital , and by the aid of the stomach pnmp saved from inevitable death . When placed at the bar sbe appeared weak and tremulous . The wife of the man Yardley stated , that to her own sorrow she had been recently made acquainted with
the intimacy that existed between her husband and the defendant . She bad made some inquiries relative to the defendant , and ascertained tbat she was a married woman , and had at present a husband alive in Iiundon . The difendaut said shat if all the circumstances were known , it would be found that her conduct was not so blameable as Yardley's wife would insinuate—that she regretted now that she had attempted to deprive herself of life , and hoped the magistrate would permit her to return tome . Mr . Seeker said that he thould not feel justified in allowing her to be discharged after making such a determined attempt to destroy herself . The defendant was then ordered to find bail , and in default was sent to gaol .
HARTLfiBOKE . Abtfdl Jeaud upon Linewdrafebs . — Eliza Clarke , a very genteelly dressed young woman , was placed at the bar , charged with having , by means of false and fraudulent representations , obtained goeds from linemlrapers , &c , and it is imagiaed that the prisoner lias recently victimised tradesmen to a very considerable extent , Mr . T . E . Evans , High-street , Hampstead , deposed that , on Wednesday , the prisoner came to his shop , stating that her mistress , Mrs , Collins , of Heath-street , required a shawl , and that she wished some to be scut for her to choose from . Site ( prisoner ) selected four , remarking that she thought one of them would suit , and while he ( prosecutor ) was putting them up in paper , he asked her how her master and mistress were , to which sbe replied tbat her master was always better in winter than at any other time of the year , and she also made some observations with respect to her mistress being a cross-tempered woman , who could not hear to be contradicted .
. Believing tbat was all right , and having been in the habit of suppling Mrs . Collins with drapery , &c , he gave the prisoner the parcel containing the shawls , and sbe then went away , when , hearing nothing { respecting the goods he had parted with , he , after some time had elapsed , went to Mrs . Collins , from which be ascertained tbat no one answering the description of the prisoner was in her service , neither bad she authorised any person to call upon him for shawls or any other article on tbe day named . It further appeared that , on Friday , the prisoner called at the shop of Mr . Naylor , in Hanby-vtreet , Kentish Town , and asked for some plaid shawls for her mistress , a Mrs . Brown , of Hauby-place , to whom Mr . Naylor immediately applied , and finding the statement was false , he followed the prisoner to Camden Town into the shop of a staymaker , and gave her into custody . The prisoner denied having been into either of the shops , and it being understood that oilier charges of a similar character would be brought forward against her , she was remanded . - -

Railway Station . —A well dressed young man , who stated that his name was Alfred Simpson , was brought before the Lord Mayor , on thu charge of having attempted to pick the pocket of the Rev . Mr .

The complainant said—Between three and four o ' clock on Satnrday , as I was going along the platform of the Blackmail Railway ; through the doorway , I felt my pock « t palled , and on looking round , I saw my coat pockets pulled out , and the prisoner withdrawing his hand , my
purse at the same time falling down into my pocket . I accused the prisoner of attempting to rob me , which he denied , and he passed on to a railway carriage , into which I followed bitn . I there renewed my accusation , and he again denied it , and I auked him whether h « could satisfy me with a respectable reference or address . After some hesitation , he said th « t Ms name-was Alfred Simpson , of Newington . I did not thick that a satisfactory reference , but he would g ive no other , and upon arriving at Blackball , I gave him into the custody of an officer .
In answer to a question from the prisoner ' s solicitor , why he did not give him into custody at the London terminus , the prosecutor stated there was no police there . It wag tbe same spot the Lord Mayor was robbidofhis watch and seals , and at that time a similar complaint was made . The Lord Mayor gave the prisoner in this case the option of giving a respectable reference oh the following day , or beisg sent to prison for fourteen days .

HAMMERSMITH . \ Exsbaordinary APPLICATION . —Two females of respectable appearance , presented themselves before the magistrate to crave his advice and assistance . One ot the applicants saidjier name was Fenny , ami that she was the wife of Mr . Roger Penny , who for the last twenty-five years had the conveyance of the cross-country mail from Hungerlbrd , in Berkshire . She was Mr . Penny ' s second wife . Mr . Penny had had two children by liis first wife , a boy and a girl , wh « were now grown up . The one had been convicted as a ielon , aud the other was living under the protection of . a gentleman belonging to the Admiralty , by which , means she was also supporting her brother . The misconduct of her children had
completely ruined her husband ' s health , who had be come reduced both in body and in mind , so that she had the whole of the business to attend to . Some ¦ jlme since the daughter came down to Ilungerford , about which time Mr . Penny , had been recommended for the recovery of his health to get into some hospital in London , and the daughter had persuaded him to return to London with her , and she would get him into St . George ' s Hospital . Since his departure she had , however , ascertained that he was not an inmate of St . George ' s Hospital , but that his daughter had , for the purpose of secreting her . father , in order to get possession of his property , been taking him about fcom ' place to place , he being almost in a dying state . That day they had traced him to No . 18 , Elizabeth-street , but on going there they were refused seeing him , and on their waiting about , they saw Mr . Penny removed in a cab bj two men from
the house , and they distinctly saw that he had a severe bruise over the bridge ot his nose . They had , t > y means of the cabman , ascertained that he had been taken to No . 3 , Hill-street , Knightsbridse , whither they had also been . On going there , they found that the daughter was leaving there , and they were refused admission , unless they produced some order authorising them to see Mr . Penny . That place being within the jurisdiction of that court , they then came there to state tbe case . —Mr . Payntir asked why they had not applied to the police < er assistance in the matter . ——The applicant said she was informed by a female that the sergeant on duty in the district of Kp . ightubridge was is the habit of going to her house and taking brandy and water with her daughter . Mr . Paynter desired Inspector Havill to send a man with the females to the B station at Pimlico , in order that proper inquiry should be made into the matter and a report of the result made at that court .
SOUTHWARK . PUBISBMEHT FOB NOT ROBBING . —John BoultWlight , a tall , well-dressed young man , und John Smith , a diminutive boy , were charged with attempting to rob a lady in passing along the Waterloo Road , A policeman of the L division , stated , that he observed the prisoners aad Knottier man in company together near the Victoria Theatre , and knowing them to be bad characters ,, he watched them for some time . At length he saw a lady walking along the road , and when she got near the stage entrance of the Victoria Theatre , the boy Smith went behind her and rubbed down her pockets , which attracted her attention , she turned round , aud at this moment the other prisoner came up and pushed the lady against the ' wall . He was about to rob her , when she called out , and witness ran to her assistance , and seized the younger prisoner , whose companion was- secured by another policeman . The lady , however , was so alarmed by the threats held out bv some of the prisoner's associates
on tke way to the station house , that she was prevented from appealing against tfcera . Boultwright declared that the policeman had told falsehoods ; that he was a respectarle man and not a thief . He did not know the latter prisoner . The policeman said that both the prisoners associated with the swell mob , and were to be met with dailj in the "flash houses " on the south side of the water . Four yeara ago the prisoner was ia custody tor a robbery , and tbat on a more reeent occasion he was smmnarily convicted for felony . Ihe prisoner said thut lie had reclaimed since , and had never j » ut bis hands into another persons pocket . Mr ; Seeker had no'doubt the prisoners' intentions were to rob the lady , who was deterred from appealing owing to the threats of their associutet . It was to be lamented tbat she exhibited such dread on the occasion . As , however , she had not been robbed , he should therefore disptnse with her attendance un the present occasion , and commit Boultwright for three calendar months to Brtxton , and the boy Smith , bis accomplice , for one month to the same gaol .
MANSION HOUoB . On Tuesday , a poor de 3 titute-looking woman , named Isabella Ingram , was placed at the bar , before the Lord Mayor , upou the singular charge , aawdins to the terms of the police-sheet , " of loitering about Seethiug-Zane , annoying- the complainant , and refusing to take two orders of admission to Marlbourough-house ,. Peckham . " The assisting relieving officer to the City ot \ London Uni .. n , at Seething . luue , said that on Tuesday the prisoner applied to liim for relief , when he gave her an order of admission to the poor-house at PeckhauijWith which she weut away » . After the lapse of some time she returned , complainintf . that shehad been robbed there ( a statement which he did not give credit to ) , and she applied for assistance to enable her to reach her homeoo , v t be passed there ; ou which he gave her a second rdero f » r admission to the poor-house at Peekham . With this she was not satisfied , and he therefore gave her into custody .
The Lord Mayor—What ! for being unwilling to proceed to Peckham ! I am no t at all surprised at her disinclination to do SO . I have visited the place myself , and it is unquestionably a disgrace to all concerned in it . The relieving officer observed that a number of able-bodied men and women resorted thdre who were well able to work , and ther « foreou ;; ht to maintain themselves . The Lord Muyor said that might be the fact , but that was no reason for providiug , or rather tolerating , u place so grossly ill-managed ns Jlfirlborough-house was . The Lord Mayor then said to the prisoner— " You are discharged . "
ROV . AI . FnEB Hospital , — A deputation from the Royal Free Hospital , waited upon the Lord Mayor , to inform him that in deference to the opinion so strongly expressed by his lordship , and which the committee found also existing in the minds ot many other influential trienrts of the institution , that the system of admitting into the hospital any casual poor who had previously beeu in any of the unions or poor houses of the metropolis was decidedly objectionable . The committee of management had resolved that in future no person who had recieved shelter in any of the unions should be admitted ; but that such parties should be sent back to the union or workhouse from whence they
came . The Lord Mayor said lie considered the practice of sending the poor from union or workhouse to the hospital as wholly incapable of being vindicated , inasmuch as it went to relieve those who ouu'ht to be parochially lelieved , and to turn the benefits of the institution away from its intended channel , the relief of the destitute sick . There was ho principle to which he objected more Strongly , After some further explanation the Lord Mayor said that he should take an early opportunity , aftw the close of his year of office , to investigate the present charity . In the meantime he felt satisfied at the resolution to which the managers had come , and which wus calculated to prevunt the abuseof a charity .
