XOCTG IRELAND . Mb O'Buies has addressed a second letter to Mr . Dnifv ' of the Nation . The following contain 3 iU A considerable number of individuals , who are arccntlv devoted to ike cause of Rfpcal , having bsen exdvA ^ A from the Repeal Association because they arc unwilling to subscribe a test imposed for reasons which srsnotjit fully understood bv the public , are naturally led to seek other opportunities through the meaus of which they may be enabled to laiour in the service of their conotry . So other organisation being at present available , it seem « to us that tlie A « - 'ic » newsj . a ); ermay be advantageously made an organ for giving utterance to the opinions ofnieu of tills class . . _ .

1 am much pleased witli the title which Mr . O'Oonnell las , by way of derision , bestowed upon US—the PLabnx —the Xanonal Hialanx— the Patriot Phalanx—tbe Irish Phalanx ; a » y of these denominations cannot fa 1 to bB ta be acceptable to men who are straggling fortlw rights of tear native land . We trust and believe , that this pbaUnx—wielding no other weapons than those of reason and truth—may hereafter become formidable W the enemies of our country . Mr . O'Connell will find that It is not east to laugh eown men who are
heafily in earnest and single-minded in purpose . A miSPlaccd snser disfigures no face except that which wears it . He need not fear , however , that provocation will lead to reprisal . We shall endeavour to imitate liis virtues , cot Ms failings . Our duly to oar country warns us to avi . id the strife of personal controversy , and bids US devote all our faculties to ilieliiKh and holy task of enaeavriurins not only to augment the happiness of our fellow-countrymen , but also to place the enjoyment of tliat happiness upon the secure foundation of national freedom .
BEP £ 1 L A'S ^ CIATIOS . Theusa ^ l we ekly meetiag of this . Iwly was heid , when the usual speakers were at their posts , and the usual si . cecb . es duly delivered . The proceedings were altogether beneath notice . Mr . O'Cunnell was present , although it was currently reported throughout the menrins that severe indisposition would incipacitaie the hon . and learned gentktaen from attendance . The " budnrss" was all concluded and tbe ball deserted shortly alter three o'clock , being at lea * t two hours earlier " than the usual time for adjournment . After tbe castomary quantity ot preliminary nonsnnse had bsen SDoken ,
Mr . G ' Cosn-eix rose to make the speech of the day . lie said an accident would prevent his entering into the present prospects of Repeal , the state of the countrv , and repiying to the Cork Repealers . The accident he aliuded to v . as the illness of his clerk . However , he hoped at the next meeting to enter fully into those subjects . lie regretted tbe postponement with regard to the people of Cork , because he had heard tliat the results of division in that Oiiy was likclv to let in the enemies of Ireland to olnee to let in a ' Tory Lord Mayor . ( Cries of "; Shame . " ) Such was the " handy-work of Young Ireland . Kow , the Nation , ofSaturday , had stated that he CMr . O'Conne : l ) had called that party * ' a phalanx "; but be be ^ e . -i pardon of the Nation , and wished to say that
it had orL-inat « l the name itse ! f , and he had only adopted it , and Mr . O'Brien had coniirmed it . He did not care what the young uentleiuen called themselves ; whether a young phalaiiX , or an old phalanx , or a noble phalanx ; they misht adopt the 1-itter name if thev j . 5 ea * e < l ; and they themselves were stil- satisfitd ' with being called Oid Irdandtr-- . ( Loud wit ere . ) There was tben a noble phalanx oa one side , and the Repeal Association on the other . { Lmid cbei-rs . ) iir . O'Brien , ihchcad of this noble plial « nx , Ertld he ( Mr . O Connell £ vas uiily , but . unfortunately , he could not hel p it , and he thoughtit was rather Larsii to abuse him f « r what he couid not help ; however he was satisfied with the reflection , that some of the r «! uis : Irelander ' s were no great beauties thein-Ksives ( "hear , he . tr .

( ilear , hear . ) V . * hy , he would ask , did tlsev m . t f < irm an associali ' .-n for themselves ? He wouM tell the reason why- It was because tlicy were afraid , with all their professions , and ihuught it safer to fkhtwiih types and printers'devils , than to resort to the sword , wbicli they lauded so much ( cries of ' * hear , hear" ); they were , as they said , a literary phalanx , with no briga < lier-f : en ° ml ; — at least , who was to fill that post he did not know . ( Hear , hear . ) It was to be a liicrary Tir . lence they were to employ ; they were to use their quills as pikes , and their pencils as bajvmtts ; such was the Young Irelandera' courage .

MK . EUAMIAJJ CRAWFORD ASD MS TEXAST 11 T . By way of contrast to the above unadulterated trash and humbug , we beg attention to the following from the brogheda Argus : — On Tuesday last that truly benevolent landlord Wiilinni Sharman Crawford , Esq ., convened a meeting of the tenantry of his estate at Stalecn , county Heath , fur the purpose of taking measures to enable them to pnss safely through the presentseason of distress and toimprove their condition in the future . In accordance with hiseentimenta on the tenant right he has set a glorious example to the landlords of Jleath .
At the meeting on Tuesday he stated that he would allow his tenants the value ef any improvements they jnake upon their holdings at any time they may wish to relinquish them . He -mil himself take the farm in any such event , and allow compensation , or he will permit the retiring tenant to sell his rigH to any other personwtb the sole proviso that the solvency of the offered purchaser ba satisfactorily shown to the landlord . He said jnore—he offered to advance money for the purpose of draining and other such permanent improvements to any tenant who wishes to avail himself of the offer , and sums 60 advanced be will take back at five per cent , until it be repaid .
For the immediate relief of destilute persons he formed a committee consisting of the reverend parish Priest , the Hev . Denis Walsh , and others , who , by an arrangement , -will levy a sufficient sum from the several holdings , onehalf < if ivldeh he authorises them to deduct from his rent for the year . It is evident that the extent of employment likely to be given by tbe improvement of the lands will

leave little y . ressu « "e upon this fnnil , and to reduce that pressure further Mr . Crawford has gi ^ n directions to have the land tilled which he had in his own occupation under cuttle . These are the wise and statesmanlike means by which this practical landlord 8 hut « out famiHe and pestilence from his tenantry , and secures their futuw comfort ,. Uor is this the first occasion on which he carried into rfikct the prindr ' ei he advocates in wlahon to th- occupation of land . Well convinced of the soundness o « the small farm system withiu proper regulations , he has divided into sixty holdings the same quantity of land which was held by five fcnants whea it came into his pos . session . . . ,, , . „ ' Look on this picture and on that !

Ddblin ' . Nor . 10 . —In tlic accounts roeeivecl this rooming there is nothing to alter the opinion already expressed respecting the gradual improvement in the condition ef the country .. Very few outrages are reported , and none of them are of a very serious character . There is still , doubtle 39 . a fearful amount of destitution , much greater than has existed in ordinary periods of scarcity . But , as the public works extend , a decided change for the better is apparent amongst the peasantry . The relief associations are spreading , and soup lutchins are now becoming very general . In most counties the resident landlords are exerting themselves in a very creditable manner to promote measures saitnb ' e to the emergency ; and in some districts new presentment SPSfiiODS llflVG been called fl *\ In order to substitute ( ll'ain . ige-ind other productive works for roads and useless projects , which htsve already been presented for .
The excitement appears to be wearing itself out , nnd the increase of employment afiorded by ihe Board of Works , coupled with the favourable reaction ( to the consumer ) in the prices of provisions , affords a strong hope that the- disease has been brought to a favourable crisis , and that a gradual amendment may be henceforward regarded as certain althoush slow . At the Corn Exchange , this day , prices of all kinds ot grain , owiiig , of course , to the nature of the last advices from America , mot an advance , but , considerinjr that the supply was short , the rise was extremely insignificant , not exceeding sixpence per barrel . Tho arrivals of Indian corn continue to increase botli here and afc the southern ports . Four more vessels , loden with heavy cargoes of this grain , have arrived at Cork since Saturday last , and further importations are daily expected .
CossTiTDiiox op Relief Committees . —The Lord-Lieutenant has , in consideration of the complaints made respecting the exclusion of curates of the Roman Catholic Church from Relief Committees , given instructions permitting parish priests to nominate one curate <« each relief committee sitting within his cure , for every parish of which that cure consists .
DROGQEDA . —STATE OF THE PEOPLE . { From our Correspondent . ) The people here are in a wretched state . Already are th « y shewing signs of their distress by the committing of petty larcenies . The pawn offices are filled to repletion with the clothes and affects of the starving inhabitants . The rich men of the town are doinj nothing to mitigate the distress ; no Baronial Sessions have been held . Many instances are known of families subsisting for a whole day on one meal , that too of the coarsest description of food : our streets thronged with crowds of hungry men , women and children . It is lamentable to see the apathy of our local patriots nothing doing , no plans of relief arc being set on foot to feed the people . Verily they are false shepherds , who , while there is peace , live on their nocks , but as soon as the dangers
enter the fold , flee from their charge , and leave th ? ir herds a prey to the destroyer . Hunger has afflicted , and is afflicting many . Disease superinduced by huuger , is making rapid strides among the people . Dysentry pre . vails to an alarming extent . Still our intelligent Nabobs see no cause for the exercise of Christian charity , beyond raising thvir eyes to heavm , calling on the Almighty to leave his throne , and come down among us mortals , to do—what ?—to open their drawers and tako some of the sweat and Wood coined money hoarded by their pious rich men in their coffers . There is no way to avert the present famine creared by the aristocracy , but Tjy taking their unjust and ill-gotten treasures from those leeches who have sucked the lifes' blood out of the people ' s hearts . Amid this shameful dereliction of duty , it is consoling to think that one man has had the
manliness to declare that those dependant on him shall not starve . That man is William S . Crawford , Esq ., the noble member for Rochdale . He ha s an estate in the County Of Meath , aoout three miles from this town , he visited his tenints on Tuesday , November S-. d , called tliem all together , and , in the presence of tbe Her , Mr . Walsh , P . P ., told them to appoint a committee to inquire into the state of the labouring poor on his estate toast ess the various holdings thereon , and that thn sum raised for the relief of the poor , he would pay the half of . lie also gave orders to hare ail the land under grazing cattle broken up , and told the tenants whatever money they required for improving their farms , he would advance them at a small rate of interest , adding that , if
they at any time felt disposed to leave their farms , they might sell their right in them , or he himself would pay them in full for any and every improvement they should make . But to crown all his other acts of kindness , he gave a strong proof that he understands the real grievance of the country to be the monopoly of the land in the hands of a few . The leases of five of bis tenants having expired , lie divided their holdings into sixty separate farms . " Well may Rochdale be proud of its member and Dundalk . How has it suffered by driving Me . Crawford fi om its representation . Represented now by a brainless buffoon , whose only claims on the intelligent electors of that borough as he himself assured them , is tbat "Heis his father ' s son !"

THE YOUNG IRELAXD FARTT . Ddblix , Nov . 4 th . —TJiis party are coming out more strongly every day , and last evening ventured in holding a meeting at the Rotunda , The admission was by a ticket certifying that the bearer had signed the remonstrance , and fully concurred with the propositions therein contained . There was a crowded attendance . Dr . West took the chair amidst loud cheering . After a few observations from the chairman , Air . James M'Cormick moved the following resolution—" Resolved—That the attempts made by certain parties calling themselves 'Ol < l IrelaHders , and * Moral Force Men' to prevent the Bolton-street meeting for the origination of the 'Dublin Remonstrance' and the continued attempts of the same ( so
called ) parties to deter Repealers from signing , and to procure by threats or promises the rovocation of signature to that document , is a gross outrage on the liberties of the citizens of Dublin , a deep disgrace to the political and social societies to which those parties may belong , and acour .-e of conduct altogether repugnant to the principles of all true Repealers " The speaker called on the meeting to express their determination not to be put oV-vn by those calling themselves repealers , who sought to suppress public opiii " in ; and to adhere to those rr . en who loved Ireland better than they did men . ( Cheers . ) Mr . TnoMAS Magbe seconded the resolution . He faid they had seen strange sights within the last three nrn'hs . They had seen men bepraiged and besnng for th ir patriotism , turn into petty personal maliiiners ; they had seen the Hal ! of Conciliationerected for sacred purpose—become a den of discord and contention . ( Dear . ) They had seen patriots , who reviled dignitaries not many year" ago as castle
haclcs , enlightened by the new intelligence which had learned upon them from the Lord Lieutenant ' s lustre , and as Viceregal visits suddenly discover that a good place was not so bad a thing after all . that there were worse bargains in the world than the patriot who sold his country . ( Cheers . ) Uowerer , they were not there to wreak vengeance on any man , but to examine the responsibility of the leaders of the people , and the extent of obedience which the People in a voluntary association owed to their leaders . ( Cheers . ) Mr . O'Connell was sn old and rererend man ; but the question of Irish nationality was older and more reverend than he . They roust not confound the man and the cause . The cause was greater than the man . It niiiiht plpasc God to take an-ay the m-in , but the cause would live—( bravo—the spirit of nationality would go down from generation to generation , and would not die until the last tenant of that island died . ( Loud cheering . ) The speaker , in continuation , said that if ever foreign nations had been deceived into the belief that Iveland was in an
attitude for an outbreak , Mr . 0 Council was the man who had been the cause of the delusion , and not Cbarle 3 Gavan Duffy . In the year 1843 there were Frenchmen in Ireland , and at the Tara meeting , a French Viscount got from Mr . O'ConneH a copy of the lines commencing , " Oh ! Erin , will it e'er be mine , " &e . If Mr . O'Connell in his cnoier moments . sought to throw upon ^ the Nation newspaper the whole blame of deceiving the world , it was very incredible . ( A Voice , " So go . " He ( Mr . Magec ) did not feel disposed to treat the sins of Mr . J- O'Conii ' . ll against tlie people of that country with the same lenity as those of his father . A Voice—Don't spare him .
The Speaker continued—Seventy years had many claims that thirty could not pretend to . He believed that Mr . John O'C ' onnell was acting under bad advice . The Irish people would admit the claims of Mr . O'Connell , the Catholic Emancipator —( Cries of Hear , bear , )—but they would not have thrust down their throats the pretensions of his son . ( Cheers . ) The speaker said , in conclusion , that it was impossible that the cause of Irish nationality should jade , for every province in Ireland produced men whom they could rely upon . Fertile Minister presented to them Smith O'Brien . ( Tremendous dieerii . g for several seconds , the whole meeting standing up and waving hats . « tc . )
Mr . AiicniiAL Cheas proposed the next resolution , which was as follows : — "That the conduct ot the managers of ( he Repeal Association , at ( he meeting on Monday , the 2 Cth ultimo , hi f > L- ! 'eniptori ] v refusing admittance to the remonstrant , deputation . ; nid tho conduct of John O'Councll , E = q ., M . V ., for Kilkenny , in superseding the chairman b y arbitrarily coudeming without reading , and throwing out without answering , the Dublin remonstrance , was a cross insult oUercd to the volunteers , wardens , members , and associates , whose signatures and addresses were thereto attached ; an insult to the oflico of the chair-

man , and to each individual member ai ; that meet-; n . r . " The world would know that the sympathy of Franco and other countries was not undeserved—they all felt how ardently O'Connell was beloved by his countrymen—but if they had the shadow of a shade of doubt as to him , dear as ho was to them , they would tear themselves from him . ( Cheers . ) That might read tho country a noble , a glorious , a living lesson— that Irishmen could think and speak for themselves ; it was a great and a noble lesson proclaimed that night that Ireland was not O'Connell , and O'Oonnell was not Ireland . ( Great cheers . ) Me . O'Connell thought that he could govern the country as he might thirty or forty yeara ago , but did he not sec that every
mountain smd vale produced its poet now—even from the ranks of humble tradesmen arose brilliant poets and orators . Should , then , the men of the present day be judged of in the same manner as the untutored hinds of twenty-five years ago . People Without education might be driven like lambs before * he shepherd , but men who learned to read and think—aye , and to write , could not be driven , and would only proceeed according to the dictates of their own minds . ( Lond cheers . ) Where now where the brilliant addresses ?— all was " dull , 8 tale , flat , and unprofitable . " There was nothing oi beauty or poetry now in the hall—nothing that could take the fancy of an Irishman in all their dull and prosy harangues . ( Loud cheers . ) There was no
free discussion in the association now ; like an unfair judge , the ose for the prosecution mm heard , but not a word for the defence . He called on the Repealers to persevere ; if they did so they would succeed , for justice was at their side . ( Cheers . ) The next resolution WttS aS lollowa i—Resolved—That the recent attempts made in Concination Hall to usurp an aroitrary censorship over the public press , that noble engine , the scourge of tyrants and guardians of liberty , through tha instrumentality of which , civilisation and the rights of man are . superseding bigotry and despotism—has filled us with the greatest apprehension and distrust of men who would assume such power . Tliat we deem the Nation newspaper pre .
eminently foremo 6 tm genuine patriotism , disinterested zeal and pure devotion to our cause— : hat its columns , divested of all immorality , breathe through every line a spirit of toleration worthy of a people in a state of transition from slavery and provincialism to liberty and nationhood . Tliat it truly represents the feelings of earnest repealers by its powerful advocacy of their right 6 , and by exposure of canting hypocrites , who assume a name to obtain an end , that end being pelf and power . That , ns a great national organ , it lias earned dur support , and that as a private property of an individual , it should be protected from the efforts made to extinguish it , and thereby to stifle free opinion , and that for these , among other reasons , it possesses our unabated confitlpilL' 0-
The Secretary then read the address , which was received with loud cheers . Mr . Magee then rose , and presented a handsome silver snuffbox to Mr . Barry , the secretary , as a testimony from the committee for his valuable and unpaid services . It bore the following inscription : — " Presented to Mr . Patrick John Barry , Hon . Secretarv to . the Remonstrance Repeal Committee , as a slight mark of their high respect for his talents and services . " Rotunda , Dublin , Nov . 3 , 1 S 46 . "
ABANDONMENT OF THE 0 C 0 NNEIX IMBUTE . The tribute of 1846 is abandoned , and tho formal announcement . of the fact will appear forthwith in tlie pompous language of that indefatigable financier , Patrick Vincent Fitzpatrick , Esq ., secretary to the trustees . There was an amusing tale told on the tenth by one of the actors in the little national drama , which should not be kept from the world at this monotonous period . About three weeks ago the witiy secretary waited upon Sir John Power with the draft of an address to the people of Ireland , reminding them of the manifold services of O'Connell , and fixing Sunday , the 20 th of November , for the simultaneous collection of the tribute for 181 C : and this lie presented to Sir John
for his signature , with that nonchalance for which he stands unrivalled . Poor Sir John—whose mind is as like that of Mr . Pickwick as is his outward man ( and who that has ever seen our famous distiller will not admit that the likeness is perfect ) -Sir John stood amazed , and eyed through his capacious spectacles his own name , in pencil , at ine loot Oi £ 1 composition of unusual length antl eloquence . At last he mustered up sufficient courage to request the secretary to give him a dxy or two to consider the matter , and consult with his nominal co-trustee , Mr . Cornelius Ai'Loughlin . The worthy officer , in well feigned surprise , bowed assent , intimated his intention of . being there again within the two days ' , and retired . In the meantime the
benevolent old baronet had a conference with his cotrustee , who had evidently considered the _ waiter , expressed no astonishment at anything coming from iuch a quarter , and recommended a more extended consultation . Accordingly , a meeting of the friends of the "Liberator" was held some days afterwards at the house of Mr . Fitzpatrick , where Sir John Power and Mr . M'Loughlin buth expressed their doubts of the propriety of issuing any appeal on his behalt for a '' little ^ ' time until the apprehensions of famine , then so prevalent , should have subsided . Some of the party were for proceeding in what they termed the ordinary course ,
but it WAS ultimately arranged that circulars should be addressed to all the active collectors , clerical and lay , who were still deemed faithful to the Liberator , seeking their opinion as to the probable succc-S 3 of another appeal . The story runs , that in a short time a bach of replies were received from all parts , sufficient to enable the friends to form an estimate of the general state of public feeling on the subject . Some of these were point-blank against anything of the kind , and the writers entered into no reasons for their opinions ; others hoped for a postponement until after Christmas , when they doubted not that ail talk of famine should have ncased—whilst a third and the most numerous
class of objectors , candidly said , that in conscqunce of the late split in Conciliation Hall , and the spread of Young Ireland principles , little or nothing could us expected even were the potatoes sound and plenty This aggregate collection of opinions from all parties settled the business . A motion , postponing the " appeal" for two months , was put to the vote and carried , to the evident sorrow of Patrick Vincent Fitzpatrick , who calculated upon raising £ 10 , 000 at least , which at ten per cent , would leave , according to Cocker , £ 1000 as his own fee . It may be said that such a good thing as this tribute has proved will not be allowed to expire , and that after Christmas the appeal may be expected . Derrynane must be supported , and , if the people don't pay the "Rent , " the Whigs must .

The complainant had ^ recently come up to town , and , while gazing at the Wellington stiiue in front of the Koyal Exchange , Jones accosted him , and after he ascertained he was from the country , induced him to cross London bridge , and enter a public-house , near the Queen ' s Bench .

' ilmipntous " assault on a Police Constable . — -On MonQay 7 J 6 Iin Miller , a very desperate ruffian , a coalwhipper , who is well known to the jolice , was chargad with having committed a very aggravated assault on Thomas Barns , a police oonstablo , in the execHtion of his duty . The policeman ' s jaws were tied up with a ha ndkoreh-ef , and he had some difficulty in making himself understood . He stated that on Sunnay nig ht ho sa tho prisoner in company with two prostitutes in Hlgh-strcet , Shadwelt . They were using obscene language , and he desired them to move on . They went on , but after a Bhort time repeated their disgusting conduct . The prisoner was standing against a post , and he told him to move on , and » t tho same time laid hold of his . .... A
arm , and told him lie should be compelled to lock him up if he did not move on . The prisoner immediately stepped off the kerb into the road , and gavo him a . violent blow on the jaw . He was staggered by th » blow , and his hat fell off . Tho prisonor ran away , but witness pursued and overtoak him iu Cornwall-street , about a quarter of a mile from the spot where he was struck . The blow , he saW cut his chin nearly to the extent of three inches in length , and in depth it extended to the bone . One of his back teeth , previously a very sound one , was splintered " by the jerk of the jaw , " and he lost a good deal of blood . He did not think the man ' s fist would have produced such a wound ; ho believed it was done with some instrument . Committed for trial .
On Tuesday , Mr . J . Sinnott , an extensive dust contractor , was summoned at the instance nf the parochial authorities of Chrietchurch , Blackfriars , for suffering n nuisanco to exist in a portion of that parish , calculated to be highly prejudicial to the health of the inhabitants . A solicitor on the pnrt of the parish described that tho defendant was the oecUpler Of CXtimsiVe PrCmifiCI udjacent to Upper Ground-street , near the foot of Blackfriars-bridge , on the Surrey Bide , and called Jamaicawharf . On those premises the defendant hud accumulated an immense quantity of animal and vegetubU matter in tlie shape of tbe sweepings of the streets and the markets , and other offensive matters , all of which
ivi . ro collected together in tbat place , and tbe stench from which on occasions was quite overpowering , and necessarily must be injurious te the health of those who eoino within the sphere of its influence . The neighbourhood where this pestiferous heap was allowed to accumulate was a densely populated one , and there was abundant proaf to show that disease was engendered by tlic foul gasses emitted from such n hetprof entous mass of animal and vegttablc matter . . The solicitor here handed in a certificate signed by two medical practitioners , sotting forth that they had viewed the defendant ' s promises , and that the filth and rubbish there collected emit , ted such an effluvium as was calculated to be most prejudicial to tlie public health .
Oneof the gentlemen present , Mr . Doublcdny , a surgeon , of Blackfriars-road , in the course of his examination , stated , that when he viewed the premises , the stench arising from the heaps of filth collected there wa ? of tlie ino ? t offensive description , and he could aver , from his own experience , was injurious to health , for he attended a family residing near the spot , most of whom were attacked with fever ; and he had no doubt the disease was produced from their contiguity to the place where such abominable filth was suffered to exist . He then gave an instance of the effects of the deleterious nature of the gaseous matter emitted from tlia heaps in the place , by saying that a piece of fresh-killed mutton was suspended near tbe spot , and that in less than a quarter of an hour it was iii a state of putrescence . He added that ho should not have signed the certificate
produced if the nuisanco complained of waa not of the most dangerous description to tho health of the inhabitants of the locality , Mr . Charles Knig ht , manager of a eoulwh&rf adjacent to the premises , stated that prior to the defendant becoming the occupier , Jamaica-wharf was a timber-yard . Since , however , he had token the place , be had converted it into a lay-stall for the reception of filth of every description . The witness had seen cartloads of putrid geese , rotten eggs , and other offensive matters brought into the prnnist . s . ind shot out into the midst of other squally , impure materials . His own health und that of his family had suffered materially ever since such a place was allowed to exist . On the
part of the defendant it was contended that the' effects likely to be produced by the business he carried on were very much exaggerated , and that the public , instead of pouiplaining :, ought to bo thankful for having the streets and markets cleared , and the rubbish conveyed away . Mr . Seeker said the public would have no reason to complain , if the offensive materials were consigned to such a place as were not likely to interfere with health , but that shooting such matters in a densely populated iieiglibourhn ? was most improper , ; and he should therefore make an order on the defendant to remove the- nuisance within 48 hours ; otherwise ulterior proceedings , of a more stringent character , would b » taken against him .
CLEUKENWELL . Heartless Conduct . —On Monday , James Mitchell , a young man , described as tbe son of a respectable farmer , of Chippenham , Wiltshire , was charged by Ann M'Ketchie , a poor country girl , about seventeen years of age , with having threatened to dash out her brains . The prosecutrix , who was accompanied by her mother , who had a beautiful babe inher arms , two months old , appeared in the witness-box very much affected . It appeared from her statement tbat she resided with her mother at Chippenham , where she became acquainted with the prisoner , He paid bis addresses to her , and an illicit intercourse was carried on between them , theresuit of which was the birth of a child , Tlieprisoner came to London , and a few weeks ago she received a letter from him , proposing that she should come to
London with tbe child , and ehe was to meet him in the City-road , wbere he was living with his cousin . She Bhowed the letter to her mother , and subsequently she left her mother with her child with the intention of walking to London , and seeing the prisoner , but on being missed by her mother she pursued witness , and overtook beratMarlborough , when they travelled up together to London on foot , and met the prisoner in the City-road . On finding the mother with her he became enraged , and threatened that he would be revenged and dash ' , lier brains out . The prisoner denied having threatened tho prosecutrix its described , or being the father of the child . He also denied having sent a letter to her , requesting the prosecutrix to come to London with tha child . Mr .
Greenwood had no doubt that ho had sent tbe letter to induce tho girl to come to London with the child , but on seeing her mother with her he became annoyed and disappointed . The least he could do , as he had been instrumental in bringing them up to London , would be to enable them to go back again by advancing them the means . As the threat had been proved , and as the pro . secutrix sworn that she was in fear of her life , he must order Mm to find two resnectablB housekeepers ag bail to keep the peace . The prisoner was then loeked up , but subsequently agreed to give two sovereigns to enable the parties to return to Chippenhara , and under an assu . ranee that he had no intention to harm any one , he was liberated .
MANSION HOUSE . Choelty to Animals . —W . Burn was charged with having most cruelly beaten one ef the horses he was driving in a waggon . He had been sitting on the middle horse , which was without reigns , and he struck one of the poor animals most desperatel y about the head with the butt-end of the ivliip . The lioroe fell , and the brute struck it even moiv brutally when down . Tho Lord Mayor expressed bis indignation at the conduct of the defendant , and was about to fine him to the utmost extent , when he suddenly learned tbat the fellow had a very large family , nnd that the affliction would inevitably fall upon tlio head of his wit'e and children . The Lord Mayor ( to tho defendant ) : You deserve the weightest punishment , but I cannot think of punishing your wife and children . The sentence of the court is , tbatyou pay a fine of 10 s ., or to be confined in the House of Correction for H days . Tho defendant thanked his lordship , and paid the fine .
How to walk London Streets . —^ Mr . Ellis Bowden Weare , a gentleman who was dressed in rather fantastic style , having a small party-coloured ladj ' s handkerchief round his neck , with a large purple tye . to which there was a light green border , and with several rings upon his fingers , was charged with an assault . Mr . Shilling , ford stated , that as he was walking along Cheapside the defendent roughly pushed against him without the'least provocation , aud on being remonstrated with , struckjhiui . The defendant subsequently , on being given intojtlie earo of a policeman , apologise , and the apology was conconsidered sufficient atonement . The Lord Mayor liavhi |! asked whether the defendent appeared to be under the influence of strong drink of any kind ? ' Mr . Weare said he had had no refreshment except a bowl of soup at Alderman Birch's , and upon coming out and walkiug quietly and inoffensively down Cheapside , he was pushed and hustled about in a most unceremonious manner although he strictly kept to his side of the wall Tiri !
tatedbysuch treatment in a great public thoroughfare he bad behaved rudely to the gentleman who complained under the erroneous impression that Mr , Shillingtbrd was amongst those who elbowed him about . The Lord Mayor—Which do you consider to be your side of the wall t Mr . Weare—I consider that when my left side is next to the wall , I am entitled to the wall . Tho Lord Mayor—You were wrong in your opinion of the generally umierstcod practice for tlie public accommodation , which is , tuat { those whose right hands are next to the wall are entitled to the wall . Mr . Weare—Indeed J I had no notion of such a thing . 1 come from tho country , aud there the left band always goes to the wall . ( A laugh . ) The Lord Mayor—Such is the necessity in this crowded city for a regulation of the kind , that even ladies are not sanctioned iu . violating it . Mr . Shilllngford said , the assault , as an assault , was not at all worth speaking about . The Lord Mayor—If Mr . Shillingford is satisfied with your apology , I see no reason why I should disapprove of it . The defendant then left the bar ,

WESTMINSTER . Despebate ArFBAi , —Michael Newnan , Michael Shee , and William Sheehan , three Irish labourers , were charged with a series of murderous assaults . The disturbance * which gave rise te tbe present proceedings was of so serious a nature as to create considerable alarm . The circumstances which gave rise to it , are briefly these : —On Tuesday night some trifling dispute occurred at the bar of the White Hart , Millbank . row , between Newnan and an English labourer , named Smith , in the course of which , as alleged by the landlord , although omitted by tbe rest of the witnesses in their statements , Smith struck the other . Shortly after this , Newnan went up stairs to a number of his countrymen , ' who had assembled there for the purpose of having a raffle ,
and having informed them that he had been much illused , several of the party came down , and a general and desperate conflict was the result , in the courss of which Smith and his companions who were with him received injuries of a most serious nature ; indeed , defendants , as well as complainants , boro marks of having been en-Raged in some serious affray . ~> Thomas Smith , of 8 , Johnson-street , stone mason , said , he was standing at the bar of the White Hart , with his wife and some friends , when Newnan applied an offensive epithet to him and went up stairs muttering some threat . In a few minutes he returned , with six or seven more , and struck witness a violent blow on tbe forehead , Shee then rushed upon witness , and struck him three times upon the arm with a stick , and the limb became useless .
Shee thenstruck James , one of witness ' s friends , over the eye with the stick and cutit open , and in a moment afterwards he was surrounded by numbers aud knocked down ; Shee at the same time seizing him by the throat . At that time several others were round North ( another of witness ' s companions ) amongst were Newnan , and they were all kicking him . Witness was thrown on the ground , and whilst thare found his hand cut by some sharp instrument . —Mr . Thilip James , of No . 2-t , Vinestreet , Millbank , said thst Smith followed NeWnan part of the way up stairs , when he was suddenly pusheddoivn bv numbers , North went to see what was the matter , w-iien he was surrounded by the three defendants and others . Defendants all struck him , and he fell on the ground . Witness went to his assistance , and was
immediately struck by Sheehan , and a general disturbance then occurred , in which fourteen or fifteen took an active pf » rt , Shee struck witness whilst he was on tbe ground with a stick . —John North , of 2 , Freeman ' s cottages , was next callod . His head was bound up , and he was so severely injured that it was with difficulty that two persons could place him in a chair to give evidence . He stated that he had ao sooner got to the foot of the stairs to see what was ' the matter thaa he was knocked down , | Sheehnn and another both striking him on tbe head at the same mement ; and whilst he was down he was laid hold of so tightly by the throat as nearly to be strangled . A number surrounded and kicked him repeatedly with the greatest violence . He contrived to escape by crawling , as well as he was able , through a trap-door into the bar . Witness was conveyed to the hospital , where his body
was bound up , but they had no bed to receive him . He was to return to the hospital immediately after the examination , A policeman proved , that when he went to the White Hart he found thirty persons engaged in a general fight . —Newnan , is defence , said that Smith struck him first , and it was a fafr quarrel between them whon others interfered . He denied having kicked North , but he admitted having struck Smith . —Shee said Smith came up to him and challenged him to fijjht , and North laid he would fight anybody in the place , and struck him ( Shee ) . He admitted having struck James with the stick . —Sheehan denied having taken any part in the affray . —Mr . Burrell said , he wished to be well in formed as to the nature of the injuries received by North , and for that and other reasons he should remand the prisoners until Saturday , but he would take bail for their appearance . They were committed , in default .
GUILDHALL . An " irregular" dustman , who stated his name fo be Henry Williams , was charged , on Wednesday , with l ) av ing taksn rubbish from a house in the city ; Mr . Dodd , by whom the defendant was not employed , being the contractor for the district . The case was proved by a policeman . The Lord Mayor said it was in his power to fine the defendant 40 s ., but he believed that in tho present case the contractor would be satisfied with the chief magistrate ' s declaration , that on all futuve occasions the fine should be inflicted upoa flying dustmen , of whom it was evident the defendant was one , who interfered with the business of the contractors . " You must , Mr . Williams , pay the expenses , " added his lordship . The Flying Dustman : " Den't axe me to pay , master ; s ' elp me God I aint got a mnjj . " The Lord Mayor : " You certainly shall pay . Consider the hazard you run by this practice . Your cart and horse may bo seized for the penalty which can be inflicted .
The Plying Dm tin nil : Consider my wife nnd three children , pleaseyou my lord , they'll be a gaping for the price of the wittles . I ' m blessed if ever I had a mouthful of dust afore belongid ? to this hero gentleman , The Lord Mayor : t have fceen obliged to send a man to 5 fuwgate who has . t wife nnd four children , nnd you may consider yourself lucky in getting out of difficulty by paying a few shillings . Tlie word " Newgate" struck upon the feelings of tho flying dustman as if he had been acquainted with the peculiar arrangement of the building itself . His wife , too , who was in the crowd , seemed to be alarmed at the mention of the same house of call for flying dustmen and their partners , for she bustled up to him and said , in an undertone , " Hore , Harry , I got the blunt . Dub up , you beggar , and cut this here dangerous spot . " The expenses paid , the flying dustman and his wife bowled down the back stairs with professional rapidity , and disappeared .
The man charged with stealing Sfr Moilley ' sgold watch and chain , ou Lord Mayor ' s day , was re-examined and finally committed for trial .
SOUTIIWARK . An Actress ik DiSTitEss . —On Friday , Mary Campbell , a woman who had evidently seen more prosperous dajs , but whose present appearance betokened much distress , aud who was accompanied by four children , was charged with breaking a pane of glass in St . Saviour ' s union workhouse , ' appeared that about four o ' clock on the preceding day , tha defendant came to the gate , and wanted admission for herself and four children , and being informed that the rules prescribed that , the casual poor were not to bi ; admitted until six o ' clock , at which time she and the children would be taken in , she said that two of rhe children were sick , and that she was
tired and taint with walking about , and again besought the porter to admit them ; but he told her ho could uot , when slw took up a stone and broke a pane of gl . 'iss . She admitted that she had done it for the purpose of cither being taken into tho workhouse or to th
, y necile-work to obtain the means of living for her family . in this latter capacitv she had striven hard to maintain her children but foiled and beiiiff compelled from absulute want to pledge every decent article of her own and her children ' s to get them bread and beta ? in arrear of rent for their lodging she was obhged to leave it , and has rilMlc becn " . le ^ . g in the different union workhouses Mr . Seeker said tliat the destitute condition of the defendant and her cuildren was much to be deplored , but still as . he regulauons of the workhouse were that ca-aal poor , were not to be admitted until a certain hour ta ' iue cv , iiin , the porter had obeyed orders by refusing her and her children admission until the proper time had arrived . Under the peculi . r circumstances of the case , he

guardians , aud described her situation to thein , they would readily give her and her children an asylum ja { lle workhouse , until some steps wer « taken for sending them back to Scotland , to which they belonged . He regretted to hear the defendant ' s husband had not belonged to the Theatrical Fund , but probably if her present misfortunes were known to the profession , some assistance would be . rendered . The porter of the workhouse was then directed to take the defendant and her children back again to the workhouse , and to explain what had taken placa at this court . " *•' .- '_ JS'J . ~ . m «!
