A public meeting of the inhabitants of the borough of Southwark was held this day, in pursuance of a requisition to the High Bailiff, at the Town Hall, Southwark, for the purpose of considering the propriety of petitioning Parliament for the removal of the existing civil and religious disabilities of her Majesty's Jewish subjects. Shortly after twelve o'clock the chair was taken by Mr. Pritchard, the High Bailiff: The attendance at the meeting up to that period was very scanty, there not being more than forty persons present, and the commencement of the proceedings were protracted for a short time in order to afford opportunity for the attendance of other persons. A quarter of an hour having elapsed, The HIGH BAILIFF proceeded to state that the meeting was called pursuant to a requisition which was very numerously signed. The question to be submitted to the meeting involved the rights of a certain portion of their fellow-subjects, which, in accordance with the principles of the British nation, every loyal and peaceable subject was entitled to claim. Statutes had at various times been passed tending to deprive some of her Majesty's subjects of these rights, in consequence of certain religious opinions which they held. By a statute passed in the third year of the reign of James 1., c. 4, the object of which was to protect the country from the hostility which was then generally considered to prevail upon the part of certain persons of the Roman Catholic persuasion against the monarch here. Some members of the Catholic profession were disposed to fall in with the spirit of the rest of the country, and to ac knowledge the Sovereign of this country as the supreme head of the Church. Others, again, clung to the principles which at that time prevailed among the Catholics, and thought supreme allegiance was due to thel Bishop of Rome ; and it was in order to insure allegiance upon the part of the latter who might accept any office, that this statute was passed. Its forms were very stringent, requiring the oaths of allegiance and supremacy to be adminis tered to all who might take office—the concluding words being "upon the true faith of a Christian." These words were inserted, not in order to preclude any particular denomination of religionists, but, on the contrary, were merely added in order to give solemnity and sanction to the oath. In the 7th of James I. another Act was passed requiring the oath of allegiance to be taken by Members of Parliament in the same terms as prescribed by the statute of the 3d of James I. The object of the measure now introduced into Parlia ment, was to repeal those words at the conclusion of the oath, so as to admit Englishmen of the Jewish persuasion to take their seats in Parliament. It was not for him to express any opinion upon the subject of petitioning Parliament upon that measure. That was a subject for the meeting to decide, and he trusted that they would hear with patience and fair ness all the speakers who might address the meeting on the subject.—(Hear,) The requisition, calling upon the High Bailiff, to summon the meeting having been read, The HIGH BAILIFF stated that he had received a letter from Sir William Molesworth, which he would, ith the consent of the meeting, read to them : " Penzance, Bodmin, Jan. 12, 1848. "My dear Sir,--I am very glad to hear that •the,re is to be a meeting of the electors of Southwark in f tvour of Lord J. Russell's Bill for the qualification of the Jews to sit in Parliament. I regret very uwch that I am at such a distance that I cannot he present at it. I flatter myself that every one of my constituents knows my opinions on that subject. I should be very much obliged to you if you would make my excuses for not being present at their meeting, and assure them that I shall take care, as one of their representatives, to be present in my place in Parliament, to vote for Lord J. Russell's Bill.— Believe me, yours truly, "WM. MOLES WORTH." Mr. APSLEY PELLAT, in moving the first resolu tion, thought that the meeting would concur with him in the opinion that the time had now arrived for the abolition of all persecution or deprivation of rights on the ground of differences of religious opinions. No Government had any right to interfere in matters which were entirely a matter of conscience. It had been urged by one of the ablest opponents of the measure, that the effect of Lord John Russell's pro posed measure would be to unchristianise the nation. He did not think that such an argument had much weight. The number of Jews in this kingdom did not exceed forty thousand, and was it likely that so small a minority of the vast population of the country could ever be able to unchristianise or cor rupt the character of the country, even if it was their wish to do so P The Jewish religion was not in his opinion hostile to Christianity ; the morals inculcated upon the children of the members of the Jewish per suasion were of the highest order, and they were re quired to pray fervently at the shrine of the Almighty for the prosperity of the country in which they en joyed their liberty. Was it right, then, to exclude members of such a profession from a share in the legislation and constitution of the country ? The question was to be viewed entirely apart from that of alienship, for, according to Blackstone, any person born in the country was eligible to perform the duties of a British subject. What was the prac tical effect of the measure ? Did the churchwarden pass by the door of the Jew, or suffer any qualms of conscience, in making an application to him for the church and other parochial rates, which, in his opinion, he considered necessary ? Apart from these prin ciples, founded on the constitution of the country, he had derived an argument of immense weight from the precepts of Christianity itself, which enjoined charity towards all men. The ob jection urged against the admission of the Jews were of the weakest nature. One of them was that their ancestors had crucfied Christ. It was as absurd to lay that as a charge to the Jews of the pre sent day, as to charge the High Bailiff himself with being guilty of the crime of murder, because his an cestors had put to death Charles the First. Their moral and intellectual qualifications offered no bar to their promotion even to the highest offices of state. The purity of their private life was a pattern to Christians. Who could deny that per sons thus educated, and thus qualified, were eligible to share in the rights and privileges of the British subjects ? The speaker then proceeded at some length to call attention to the treatment which the Jews had received for centuries in this country, and especially in the city of London, and in Frank fort, and the difficulties under which they had la'ooured in carrying on their business. He con gratulated the meeting that a large number of their grievances had now been removed, and that in the city of London the Jews were permitted to carry on their business with the same liberty as any other citizen. He concluded by moving th• follow ing resolution : " That this meeting having been long opposed to the principle of exclusion from political rights founded on differences of religious belief, have regarded with the greatest satisfaction the passing of the several statutes by which ;that principle has of late been gra dually relaxed, and their brethren of the Roman Ca tholic ;religion, and Protestant Dissenters, restored to the exercise of their constitutional privileges. They have beheld with ;equal satisfaction a similar removal of many of the disabilities affecting their brethren professing the Jewish reli gion, but have notwithstanding b een com p e ll e d to deplore that that class of her Majesty's subjects, though now rendered eligible to corporate offices, and to be elected Members of the Commons House of Parliament, are nevertheless prevented from taking their seats and voting in that assembly, ex cept on condition of their taking certain oaths, to which they do not object in substance, but the form of which is at variance with their religious senti ments." Mr. THWAITES seconded the resolution. He thought that the civil magistrates had no right to put a barrier upon the free election of their representatives by the people. He did not conceive that the Legis lature had any right to deal with religious questions beyond that which concerned each individual in the control of his own conduct.—(Hear, hear.) He felt no doubt as to the result of the present meeting. He was glad to see Southwark take its lead among the metropolitan boroughs in favour of this great measure, and he trusted they would follow up the noble con duct of the citizens of London. He most cordially seconded the resolution. The resolution haring been put, it was unanimously agreed to. _ _ — J. CONDER, Esq., moved the second resolution, and in doing so d w elt at some len g th on th e grea t libe -1 r s E i t o li n ty of the leading members of the Jewish persua duce.d He earnestly trusted that the measure intro byLLoredgisJlaothunre.Rusisieell fe w lt ou g lc l l .ea b t e capleasure through the e impresiogn'sa, In rnov i n approbation p h e r e m° bee t.secondmeeting are resolution, au xi 0 u‘s"trohat express With these he r unqualified Roths child, as a fit and brother electors of on of the choice made by their London of Baron Lionel de person to represent their ancient city in the House°Per learn that the First Ministerof Commons, and rejoice to hast of the Crown, the Right i o n duce h d a Bill into that lion. Lord J. Russell, tAution. He u thought Honourable House for removing remaining dis- Jewish subjects." quiNal li r fic H at E io A ri ß s N aff s e e c c t o it n )g de h d er ti A le la r j es, that the question ought not to be treated other ground than that of justice to every P g r n i t i a s n h y horn subject, and ought not to he treated as a mere memento of past benefits conferred by the liberality of members of the Jewish persuasion. The resolution was unanitnounly agreed to. Mr. Wm. HOWARD moved that petitions to the Houses of Lords and Commons, in conformity with the above resolutions, should be prepared, and lie fiar the signature of the inhabitants of the borough of Southwark at the Town-hall. Mr. 'Tons Mums seconded the resolution which was also unanimously agreed to. A doput.,,tiuki a . iiien ci pointed to wait upon Lord John Russell and Lord Grey, and requesting them to present the same to the respective Houses of Legislature of which they were members. The deputation was appointed to consist of the High Bailiff, the Members for the borough, and the movers and seconders of the various resolutions. Mr. KETZER, a member of the Jewish persuasion, returned thanks for the kind manner in which the Jews had been spoken of by the various speakers. He always made it his endeavour to bring up his children with a due reverence for the Christian re ligion, and if he knew any one of them to entertain feelings hostile to that religion he would " horsewhip " them. He felt that, as a Bri tish-born subject, it was a matter of some regret that he should be called a foreigner. It was riot that they were only 40,000 in number that they were to be despised—it was not numbers which made the wheel go round—it was money; and if they wanted money to prepare soldiers to fight for their country let them come to the Jews, and they should have the money.—(Hear.) There was no fear of the Jews making proselytes of their Christian fellow-subjects, for none of them could be admitted into the Jewish persuasion unless they first consented to be circumcised. There was, therefore, no great fear of many proselytes being made from the Christian religion to the Jewish. A. PELLATT, Esq., moved, and Mr. LYONS se conded, a vote of thanks to the High Bailiff for the able manner in which he had presided over the meeting. The HIGH BAILIFF returned thanks, and the meeting then broke up. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) FOREIGN-OFFICE, JAN. 13, 1848.

The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed from the retarns made in the week ending January 11, 184$, is 235, 7% t. per cwt. 4 MARKET INTELLIGENCE. t From the London New Price Current of Jan. 14.) there was (44 business • transacted in 'West India Sugar for home consumption, and which is to be chiefly attributed to the darkness of the atmosphere. The private sales, in consequence, did not exceed 510 hhds and tierces, and in prices no change has taken place, but upon former terms merchants were willing sellers. At public sale 22 hhds of Barbadoes were sold at 39s for middling, and at 30s 6d to 40s. for good midling yellow, being the full value. 61 hhds Demerara were taken in at 37 6d per cwt for good strong grey. 114 hhds of Berbice fetched steady prices.

TE.s.-A further increase is perceptible in the amount of business concluded in Congou, as well as a alight im provement in the value, making the rise during the last two week's id per lb. A good demand prevailed from the town and country trade for all descriptions, whet eas merchants have more confidence, and supplied the market less freely. The latest rates paid were at tt.llows:-!ow common Congou lid to Bd, fair and good common sound EP to 9d, bet mid 9id to I id, middling and good strong blackish leaf 110 to is 3id, fine Is 4(1 to is sid, and Pekoe flavour Is 6d to is 10d. In other kinds of Black the sales concluded are upon a more extended scale, and at slightly enhanced rates. There has been a marked improvement in the position of the market for Green, and la-ge transactions in all descrip tions have taken place privately at a rise oa previous quotations. Spices.-This afternoon, at public sale, 518 boxes of Cassia Lignea were sold, but at a decline in the qnota Lions current of late by private treaty of 3s to 4a-fine thin quill went at 69s to 70s; good, 66s to 66s 6d; mid dling, 62s Id to 63s 6d; good ordinary coarse, 61s 6d to 625; broken, 6ts; mouldy, 60s to 635. 4 cases 1 bag Nutmegs went at the former value, fair middling brown, 2s 10d; ordinary small shrivelled, 2s 2d to 2s 4d -1 case Mace fetched 2s 2d for low middling. 266 bags Sumatra Pepper sold at full rates, and fetched 2id to 2id far half-heavy clean black, and 2d to lid for damaged. 90 casks Jamaica Ginger sold at 4/ to 713 s for middling to fine, and at 50s to 68s for inferior. 100 bags Pimento were taken in at 4d to 4id for middling and good, which was above the value.

Of Sago 383 boxes were taken in at 17s for middling small pearl. INDlGO.—Although the quantity of East India de clared for public competition on the Bth of February is 3,307 chests, with a prospect of its being increased to nearly 10,000 chests, yet on the part of holders there is fi‘ mness, and they insist upon previous improved rates, and which are 2d to 4d above those of toe last quar terly sale. Purchases to a fair extent have been made by exporters and home consumers in all sorts. For Spanish a fair demand exists, and fomer rates are fully supported. S/PIRITB.—The demand for all descriptions of Jamaica Ruin has much improved this week, large purchases having been made by the home trade; whereas exporters were induced to take a fair quantity. Holders, however, have been coin pellod to accept the moderate rates that prevailed previously. Fo' the week the sales are 600 puns. Demerara sells more readily at the former value, but not above. The sales are 250 puns. The purchases made in Leeward Island have been extensive, and amount to 600 puns at is Id to is 8d proof, being rather above former rates. In East India the operations are upon a more extended scale, and prices are firmer. For Brandy former rates are well sustained. and the demand is good for all sorts. The purchases made in Geneva are of little moment ; holders, however, show more firmness, and instf't upon 4s 6d to 2s 7d for common shipping kind, and 3s to 35 6d for fine home trade kind. The quotation for British Corn Spirit is 10s 3d, cash, but tee sale is not a brisk one. Gin sells slowly, 22 per cent. under proof 8s 11d, 17 under 9s sd; and Spirit made from Sugar at 10s 3d proof. COCHINEAL.--Silvers have been in excellent request, and former rates are well supplied for the lower kinds, whereas fine and good realised an advance of Id per lb. Black, however, has been only in moderate request, and the market having been more freely supplied, prices suffered a depression of 3d to 441 for low and middling, and id to 2d for the better kinds. The parcels offered at public sale amounting to 179 bags of Honduras were, howeve, all sold—low and middling black 4s lld to 5s sd, good 6s to 6s 9d ; silvers, low and middling, 4s 6d to 48, good 4s 9d to 4s 11d, and fine 5s to 5s 4d.

One man stationed himself at the horse's head, a second at the back of the gig, while the two others got on the wheels and robbed Mr. Parsons and his man. From the former they stole about thirty-four sovereigns and two cheques on the Wilts and Dorset Bank, property, in the whole, amounting to 1001.; and from the servant they took one shilling and sixpence. The robbers threatened that if they made any resistance, it would be the worse for them, and brandished their weapons over them. Mr. Parsons being very unwell, quietly gave up his money. One of the supposed ruffians is in custody, and was yes terday examined at Cobb's-office, Salisbury, and re manded to the county gaol. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Yesterday Mr. Thomas, the secretary of the So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, ap plied to Mr. Hardwick for a summons against a gen tleman well known in the sporting circles, named Nunn, for cruelty towards a horse. From the statement of Mr. Thomas, it appeared that a horse was seen staggering along Bond-street, at a late hour one night in the early part of the week, supported by two men, while the person who rode it was whipping and spurring the exhausted animal without intermission. The rider got as far as Long's Hotel, and then dismounted. The horse was removed to an adjoining stable, and shortly afterwards died. It was reported that the owner of the horse had made a bet that he would ride his horse froth Leamington to Long's Hotel (about 100 miles) in 12 hours. He won his wager, but the horse lot i!s life. The so ciety had received information of this case, and they had given him positive instructions to take immediate steps to put the law in force against all persons in- ;. ~~ ~. `,;,;~,, strumental in this act of cruelty. His application was therefore for a summons against Mr. Nunn, to answer char i ..;e, cru.-Ity Mr:Heupwici wished to know how the summons was to be served, as he understood the person was at Leamington ?—Mr. Thomas replied that he would take the summons himself, and see that it was pro perly served at Leamington, if required. A summons was then granted, to be heard next Wednesday. WESTMINSTER. Yesterday Margaret Scarr, a very respectable looking middle. aged woman, was charged with being drunk and breaking a window at the mansion of Lord John Russell, 32, Chesham place, Belgrave-square, and also with assaulting a policeman, into whose cus tody she was given. His Lordship's butler stated, that at about 20 minutes past 10 o'clock on the previous night, he heard the breaking of a pane of glass in the kitchen window, and on immediately going into the area found the defendant, who had come down the steps from the street. He charged the defendant, who was the worse for liquor, with having broken the glass, but she made no reply; he then inquired where she lived, but instead of giving any satisfactory answer she walked into the street. He folio wed the defendant, who walked into Halkin-street, and gave her in charge. She left a purse and glove down in the area. John Buddy, 200 B, proved that the defendant was given into his custody. When he laid hold of her she told him that if he would take his hands off her she would go quietly. He did as she desired, but she had not accompanied him many yards when she suddenly turned round and scratched his face. She afterwards bit his thumb, and became so violent that he was obliged to get another constable to assist him in con veying her to the station. Mr. BURRELL asked her what she had to say ? Defendant replied that she was extremely sorry for what she had done. She thought that it was the house at which she lived, and it was in endeavouring to make, as she supposed, her fellow-servant hear, by tapping with her purse at the kitchen window, that she broke the pane of glass. Mr. BUREELL ordered her to pay the amount of damage, 3s. 6d., and said, that although she had ex pressed her sorrow for her improper conduct, he could not permit the assault on the constable to pass unnoticed, and she must pay a fine of 55., or be im prisoned five days. The amount of damage and fine were immediately paid. IRELAND. DENUNCIATION FROM THE ALTAR. DUBLIN, JAN. 12.—The Evening Mail prefaces the following extraordinary narrative by a statement to the effect that the particulars have been communi cated to that journal by one whose opportunity of in formation cannot be questioned : " Mr. J. Holmes is a resident proprietor, in the county of Sligo, within a short distance of Ballagha derreen, ccunty Mayo. He is a magistrate for both counties, and was made a deputy-lieutenant of the former last summer, as a mark of the sense enter tained by the authorities of his exertions in behalf of the poor during the late crisis, and 0 , his unceasing and successful labours in preserv ing the peace of his district at a most trying period, and the admirable manner in which the fiscal arrangements of the barony were carried on under his superintendence. Having received many friendly intimations, a short time since, that the parish priest (Mr. Tighe) had made repeated attacks on him at the chapel, and that his life would be attempted by assassins, who had arrived in the neighbourhood, he was prevailed on, by the entreaties of his friends, to leave the country for a short period, till the passing of the late Government measure, when he returned. These facts coming to the knowledge of his brother, Mr. A. Holmes, who resides in England, the fatter paid a hurried visit to this country, and on Thursday last (old Christmas-day) presented himself at the chapel at Ballaghaderreen, and having asked and obtained permission from the Rev. Mr. Tighe to address the congregation, a very numerous one, was accommodated with a place at the altar. He declined to address the people till Mr. Tighe stood at his side ; a second priest stood at his left. Ballaghaderreen is , within a few miles of Strokestown and Elphin, the scenes of the murders of Major Mahon and th e Rev. Mr. Lloyd. " The following scene then took place : " Mr. Ticuz—Mr. Holmes has expressed a desire to address you, and I have given him permission to do so. " Mr. HOLMES (advancing to the front of the altar) - -My friends, Mr. Tighe, your priest, has given me permission to address you from this altar, and I avail myself of it. I have travelled 500 miles to say five words to you, pray, therefore, attend to me. You do not all know me, but you know my brother, Mr. Joseph Holmes .—(' We do.') Is there amongst you a man who can say that my brother as ever done an unkind or unjust act by him ? Is there, I say ? If there is let him hold up his hand. Is there amongst you a man who can deny that, for the last two years, my brother has been your slave ? If there is, let him speak.—(A pause.) During the last two years my brother has expended 20,0001. in provisions, to keep down the markets here, that you and your chil dren might not starve! He has, daily, for the last 16 months, fed 150 of your children at his schoolhouse. He has turned his house and offices into a provision store for your accommodation. Is there a man amongst you that can deny this ? If there is, let him speak. And what is the return he has met with ? Do you require to be told ? Why, when he left home a month ago, it is notorious that the assassins who were to murder him had arrived in the parish, and were harboured amongst you There are those amongst you that know it. I can account for the presence of those miscreants. They were attracted hither by the inflammatory harangues of your priest here (pointing to Mr. Tighe). I tell him so to his face.—(Tremendous uproar in the chapel. Cries of ` Turn him out,' He is a liar ;' and a scene of great confusion, during which the curate in vain attempted to addreF s and appease the people, followed. At length Mr. Tighe succeeded, after many ineffectual efforts, in obtaining a hearing.) " Mr. TIGHE—It is false that I made any attacks on Mr. Holmes ; there have been !lollies levelled in this parish, and poor wretches turned out, hut I never attacked Mr. Holmes. "Mr. HoLMEs—I know that you did, and I tell you at this altar, to your face, and in the presence of your congregation, that your attacks on my brothe r from this spot have brought these murderers to this parish.— (Here the uproar re-commenced, and some of the more violent of the congregation appeared dis posed to pass over the rails to the altar, the priests en deavouring to restrain them.) "Mr. HOLMES (advancing in front)—l am not afraid of you. I came here to tell you these truths alone, and am not to be deterred by five hundred of you. - "Mr. Tzaiia—My friends, this is the House of God. Let us have no more of this. Mr. Holmes has charged me with attacks on his brother, which Ideny. It he has anything more to say, let him address you outside the chattel. " Mr. Holmes, having declined any further address to the people, left the chapel surrounded by the mob, who refrained from any act of personal violence, but saluted him with groans and execrations on his driv ing away." SPECIAL COMMISSION FOR TIPPERARY. - - - The special commission for Tipperary has been struck for Monday, the 24th ins 4., to be holden at Clonmel for both ridings of the county. Subjoined is the list of the prisoners, with the nature of their offences. They are to be transmitted from Nenagh to Clonmel for trial.

The Solicitor-General, who had been summoned to town to attend the obsequies of his wife, left this morn ing for Ennis, where the special commission for Clare is to be opened to-morrow. STATE OF THE COUNTRY. The reporter of the Cork Constitution, in attend ing at the special commission in Limerick, forwards to that journal the following account of a murder committed in the adjacent county of Clare : " LIMERICK, SUNDAY.—A murder of a peculiarly savage and ferocious character, perpetrated within a few miles of this city—during the sitting, and almost in the immediate vicinity of the Special Commission, and upon the day when the awful sentence of the law was pronounced upon the notorious convict Ryan (' Puck'), for a similar crime—is the subject f of conversation in Limerick t o -d ay . Th e particulars I are not, as yet, generally known, but the rumoured circumstances in connexion with this outrage are these :—That the unfortunate victim, a farmer of the humbler class, named Martin M'Mahon, residing at a place called Cartloe, in the county of Clare, had his habitation broken into on Thursday at midnight, by a party of eight men, armed, and with their faces blackened. On making a search for arms, resistance was offered to them ; and, after a conflict, desperate though unequal, M'Mahon was shot dead, he having previously smashed, with 'a shovel, a gun of one of the party which had been presented at him. Six or the party were almost immediately arrested by the police." The columns of the Tipperary papers are begin ning to exhibit symptoms of the renewal of outrage in the North Riding, which, it was hoped, had been reduced to at least partial submission by the terrors of an impending special commission. The hope, however, was delusive. Attacks on dwelling-houses, serving of threatening notices, and incendiarism are as rife as of old. Among a list of non-agrarian crimes, the Nenagh Guardian gives the subjoined account of a husband murdered by his wife, -who, it seems, perpetrated the deed while in a state of insanity : " The parish of Killahara, near Borrisoleigh, was thrown into an unusual state of sensation by the awful murder of Cornelius Cleary by his wife. The particulars of this deed of blood are briefly as follows : —On the evening of the sth instant Cleary, who was an industrious farmer and comfortably circumstanced, retired to bed earlier than was customary with I him, he having been suffering from slight indisposi tion. When he had been about two hours in bed he fell asleep, when his wife stealthily and quietly ap proached his bedside with a hatchet in her hand, with which she struck her ill-fated husband several blows on the head and neck, inflicting with every blow a mortal wound. The unfortunate man, whose head, neck, and body were frightfully mutilated, died on the following day. His wife, when she committed the foul crime, was a maniac, and had for some time previously been insane. ghe made no effort to escape after committing the murder. On Friday Mr. Thomas O'Meara held an inquest on the body. A jury having been sworn, the above particulars of the murder having been given in evidence, and the state of the murderer's mind having been proved, they returned the following verdict:—" We find that on the sth instant Cornelius Cleary received wounds on the head from a hatchet, of which he lingered, and died on the night of the 6th instant, at Killahara, which were inflicted by his wife, Margaret Cleary, she being at the time of unsound mind, and for some time previously.' Mrs. Cleary has been committed to Nenagh gaol to abide her trial at the approaching assizes. INCREASE OF THE ARMY. The Queen's Bays, for some time quartered in the south of Ireland, have this week received an intima tion that 130 horses are to be aided to the present number of 271, which will make the regiment 401 strong, or eight troops of 50 each, which was the usual strength of all cavalry regiments prior to the peace of 1815. DEATHS BY STARVATION. There it eeems, every likelihood of a repetition of last year's horrors in ill fated Mayo, several in quests having been already held in which verdicts of " death by starvation " have been returned by the juries. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 13.—Rear- Ad miral of the Red, the Hon. D. Hugh Mackay, appointed to suc ceed the late Sir Thomas Ussher in the chief command of the squadron on the Irish station, was, according to Allen's New Navy List, midshipman of the Unicorn at the capture of the French frigate Tribune in 1796; and of the Melampus in several actions on the coast of France ; Lieutenant of the Ariadne in the expedi tion to Ostend, and of the Isis at the Helder; he com manded the Malacca during the operations against the Sultan of Sambas in 1813. He is expected to have a sea-going first class frigate to hoist his flag in, but the Winchester, 50, could not be got ready in less time than six months. The Stromboli steam sloop, Commander Lord Amelius Wentworth Beauclerk, hauled off from the jetty into the stream this morning, and will drop out to-morrow, if possible, to Spithead, to receive ad vance, and await final orders. This is one of tne ex surveyor's vessels, having been built in this yard in 1839, is of 970 tons, and 280-horse power. upon the paddle system ; her engines by Napier. She has had numerous alterations and improvements since her last commission, amongst them the sightly improve ment of a mizen mast, which has answered very well as yet. Oa coming round from Woolwich she went 91 knots under steam, and averaged 9, she has had two additional store-rooms made; one for the midshipmen's use, and the other for ma rine accoutrements. The tiller has been altered from a short to a long one, to work forward; she has been fitted with Mr. Lang's copper ventilat ing tubes for giving air and light to the lower deck, certainly a great and very healthy addition to the comfort of the crew and sanitary condition of that part of the ship; she has had an additional number of shot racks made ; a new head for the men, inboard instead of outside the vessel; and additional shell room made ; and is supplied with a new description of powder cases, of hexagon form, made of zinc, 83 in number; she is, as before, fitted with Captain Smith's paddlebox boats, swung by the davits, on the plan of the same officer, whose recently-invented circular life preserver she is also supplied with. The Stromboli looks remarkably well ; her three masts add to her warlike appearance. For her complement and ton nage we question whether there is a more serviceable steamer afloat. Her crew consists of 160 hands, being one lieutenant, one leading stoker, and, three stokers less than in her last commission. For the above com plement she has three mouths' provisions on board, drawing—with 250 tons of coals in bunkers, and an armament of six heavy guns (two 10-inch, 84 cwt. each ; two 32 pounders, 24 cwt. each, on Sir Thomas Hardy's pattern ; and two 32 pounders, 25 cwt. 3 qrs. each, on Fearnell's pattern ; besides one 12-pounder brass howitzer, and one 6-pounder ditto)-15 feet 3 inches aft, and 15 feet forward. The newly adopted lights for steamers, ordered by the Admiralty, are being this day fitted to her ; she also takes out the lamps for the Terrible, and a baking apparatus for the Queen. Commander Stirling, RN., cousin of Sir James Stirling, of the Howe, 120, takes a passage to Malta as the guest of Lord A. Beauclerk. The vessel is in remarkably good and serviceable order, to which creditable end the indefatigable attention of her First Lieutenant, Lieutenant Thomas Davies (b), late of the America, 50, has contributed much. Altogether this vessel is efficiently officered and ably manned, and will be an acquisition to the Mediterranean squadron, especially since the melan choly loss of the finest steamer in that force. We were informed that her engines had done more effectual service during their working than those of any other ship of her class, and had been less affected by mishap or disaster. The Birkenhead iron steam-frigate, Commander Ingram, was paid off, after only fourteen months' commission, this afternoon, all standing. Her lower yards and topmasts are struck, and a considerable part of her running rigging unrove. The causes for thus prematurely putting out of commission a new vessel after so little service are variously stated. The Fairy, Royal yacht, Captain Lord A. Fitz clarence, was docked yesterday, to have her bottom Qxamined, and to have it paid over again with Hay's composition. The iron was very clean ; but this is not remarkable as it has no chance of fouling, the composition being renewed so often. The Cuckoo steam-vessel, Commander Dumaresq, was removed from the basin yesterday, and is coaling alongside the depot. The Firefly steam-sloop, Lieutenant-Commander Ponsonby, wa , , masted yesterday. She wants a few men, and will be ready to take the next mail to the coast of Africa, according to Post-office notice, on the 31st instant. The Fire Queen steam-yacht, Master-Commander Allen (pro tern.), returned from Plymouth on Tuesday night. We are informed she broke down on the passage to or from Plymouth, but we cannot ascer tain from what cause. The Mercury returned from Devonport yesterday afternoon. The Victory, flag-ship of Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Commander-in-Chief, has not yet completed her complement of 171. W. H. Thompson, Master (1829) of the Albion, 90, at Devonport, is ap pointed to the Victory. The Bonetta brigantine, Lieutenant-Commander Forbes, for the coast of Africa, is detained for a few days by the master shipwright's department. Wind, north, fresh breezes; weather dark; hazy, and cold ; 5 P.m. PLTMOUTH, JAN. 12.—A court-martial assembled yesterday morning, at t en o ' c l oc k, on b oar d her Majesty's ship San Josef, 110, in Hamoaze. She carried a red ensign forward and another aft, the Union Jack at her peak, and the red flag of Rear- Admiral Sir John Louis at her mizen. The Court comprised Admiral Superintendent Sir John Louis, president; Captain Sheppard, her Majesty's ship In constant; Capt. Goldsmith and Commander Chambers, her Majesty's ship Wellesley ; Captain C. 1 - 1. Free mantle, her Majesty's ship Al,bion; Captain the icon G. F. Hastings, her Majesty s ship End:onion ; and Lieutenant Commander Scott, her .lajesty's steamer Acheron. Mr. William Eastlake officiated as Judge. Advocate. The Court sat for the purpose of trying George Newcombe and James Sayer, privates in the Royal Marines, for deserting her Majt-qy's ship Endymion, 44, Captain Courtney, at Halifax, Nova Scotia, in May last. Lieutenant William R. Smith prosecuted, and from the evidence produced it was proved tha. George Newcombe, on the night of the Bth of May, 1847, was, in the middle watch, planted sentry en the poop of the hulk Pyramus, lying along:ide the In lusrb.ur. At one bell prisoner was visited and found at his post. At two bells it was discovered that he had deserted, leaving his musket leaning against the ship's rail, the cap having been taken off and wetted, and with no powder on the nipple. A boat, between a dingy and a jolly boat, previously hanging with her keel just out of the water, at the stern of the Pyramus, was missed at the same time. The prisoner was not captured until some months after. The Court sentenced him to eighteen months' imprisonment, fifteen of which were to be hard labour and three solitary confinement. In addition to the charge of desertion from her Majesty's ship Endymion, James Sayer, private, Royal Marines, and servant to Mr. Thomas Lee, midshipman, was accused of stealing from that gen tleman a bag containing 101. in silver. The evidence on the charge of theft was very conflicting, but . it was clearly proved that he deserted from the Endymion by climbing on board the hulk, and, to all appear ances, leaving the latter in company with Newcombe. The sentence of the Court was, that he be imprisoned 15 months, 12 of which to hard labour, and &to solitary confinement, Sayer, on a former occasion, was sentenced to death for striking a sergeant on board her Majesty's ship Queen. The Court rose at 6 p.m. On board her Majesty's ship Albion, 90, Captain Freemantle, in Hamoaxe, three serious accidents have occurred on three consecutive days. On Friday, th• 7th instant, at 5 r.sr., Richard Edland, A. 8., a single man, and a native of London, was knocked by the topsail tye off the Jacob's ladder, which leads from the maincap to the maintop, and striking twice in his fall, dropped into a victualling-lump alongside. He was taken to the Royal Naval Hospital, but expired shortly afterwards. On Saturday morning, at three o'clock, a seaman named Thomas Lucas, a native of Landrake, overbalanced himself while hanging up his hammock on the jibboom end, the cantlings not being lowered. He fell into the sea, and his body has not yet bees recovered. Lucas has left a wife and three children. On Sunday afternoon two seamen fell, separately, down the ship's hold. One of them, Henry Patterson, remains on board ; the other, Louis, received injuries of such doubtful character that he was immediately conveyed to the Royal Naval Hospital. On the sth instant, Lieutenant lnskip, R.N., of the preventive station at Portwrinkle, picked up a ship's long boat, which was washed ashore in White sand Bay. She is carvel-built, 19 feet long by 6 feet 2 inches broad ; her starboard side is stove in and keel broken in two places ; no name, but belonged apparently to a Dutch or Danish merchantman.

JEWISH BENRVOLENCR DURING FAMINE.—In the year 1559 a frightful dearth prevailed in the south of France, and the indigent population of Bordeaux were decimated by hunger. When it was ascertained that the Israelites of the city had imported a large supply of corn, sullen murmurs were heard among the people. " Do you see the Jews?' they said, with a sinister voice. " The public misery gives them little uneasiness, for they are rich; and while others are suffering the tor ments of hunger, they know well how to procure pro visions." • • • • These murmurs, however, soon. changed into benedictions; for, the same day the muni,- cipality of Bordeaux received from the Hebrew com munity orders to distribute gratuitously to the poor all the corn, which had been imported and purchased ex pressly for this benevolent purpose. In 1770 a similar plague wa , experienced in Alsace, and the despair ing population received as a saviour M. Cerfberr, whir, forgetting as an Israelite he had been prohibited from inhabiting Alsace, provisioned the province, with a magnanimity which made hire unanimously beloved. M. Cerfberr was awarded letters of naturalisation, which the King granted not only to him but also to his descendants. In 1816 a great scarcity of grain was telt in Berlin. M. L Bidermann, a Hebrew merchant of that city, procured a quantity of farinaceous food, and caused it to be sold at the usual price, under the inspec tion of the authorities, anti ordered the proceeds to be appropriated to charitable purposes. By this happy combination, while the price of food was re-iuced, the poor were doubly assisted,—Ben Levi's Matinees du Sumedi. Translated by A. Abraham, Esq., of Liverpool. CHILD-MURDER.—Yesterday Mr. Wakley, ALP., Coroner, held an inquest at the Gloucester Arms Ta vern, Gloucester-road, Kensington, on the body of a male infant, which was found on the morning of Sunday la,t in the inclosure of Thurlow-equare, Brompton. Evidence of the discovery of the body having been given, Mr. J. B. Guszzaroni, one of the parochial surgeons of Kensington, deposed to having examined the body boils externally and internally. There was a mark on its mouth, and the nostrils appeared compressed , as if th e y had been squeezed together with the fingers. The um bilical coed had been cut, but not tied. The lunge contained air. and to a great extent were congested. They floated with the heart, on being subjected to the usual test. Had no doubt that the child had a separate existence. It was undoubtedly born alive. It was a full time child, and thought, from the state of the lungs, and of the brain, which was also congested, that it had been suffocated, or had died from exposure to intense cold. Found nothing abnormal, tending to show that the child would not have lived had it received proper attention. Verdict—" Wilful murder against some per son or persons unknown." [ADVERTISEMENT]. - SURPRISING CASE OF THE RECOVERY OF HEALTH IT HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—Mr. Roberta, $ gentleman residing in New-street, Birmingham, had been suffering for years from a disordered liver, deranged stomach, palpitation o, the heart, shortness of breath, swelling of the hands, feet, and legs, lowness of spirits, a want of strength and energy, which state of things was slowly breaking up his constitution. Finding no bemelt from the medical treatment st Birmingham, he proceeded to London, where he resided for six moMlis in order to consult the most eminent of the faculty, which he did to no advantage. He then tried them extraordinary pills, which in three weeks restored hint to porfeet heahh and vigour. Sold by all druggists ; and at Profesaar Hollo way's establishment, 244, Strand, London.
