AN
Toe Encumbered E'tates Commissiocers resume
active oioerations in the male of estates cn Tuesday
next ; but it would be a great mistake to suppose that
the interval of a few days since the last public sitting
of the court has been paned by them in the way
that vacati .ne are =sally sup,osed to be passed. We
find t''.at within the week ending on Thursday leaf,
abso'ute orders for sale wire made in eleven cases,
and cotditional orders in twelve others. Further,
orders for the pa went of money out of the proceeds of
salts were made in fifty-five matter., the amount
paid bring 29,1281., which, with 349,6631. previously
pa'd, makes the total sum distributed by the commis-
sioners 378,793/. During the past week eighteen new
peitiens haze been filed, in fifteen cf them the owners
be:ng oleo the petitioners, and the total number of
petttocs tiled in the court to the 2nd instant is 1,477.
The (rest: bsteh of petitions present the same melan-
choly array of enormous liabilities and inadequate
siesta exhibited by the vast majority of those which
have hitherto born brongtt under the operation of
this court. The family charge* ado hold the
prom:nest place which they so usually do in Irish
properties. Thus we find among the petitions in the
seer fst that of Sir 1 hemseStapits for the sale of his
own estate; and in him case, the arinet.l rental Wog
4,6051, the family charges are 13,8921., with 6781.
iatert4 due, while the other itcumbrances are
41.409/., and 1,179/. interest. The estate of Francis
Tense, in the county of Kerry, is encumbered with a
debt o; 1,471/., and the rental is returned as not
known. The estate of Oarratt Moore is stated to be
worth the yearly rent of 3,3401., exclusive of uclet
lands, and the iheambratioss on it amount to 54,437/.
principal, and 5,0201. interest. The estate of John
trace, in the county of Westmeath, yields a profit
rent, according to the rental, of about 1,0901., but it
is loaded with a debt of 43,2001. principal, and 7,022/.
interest. Ahother division of the E,rl of Mount-
eashelre Astrim estates is to be disposed of by an
auctioneer, ander the order of the court, in Belfast, on
Tuesday next.
The first public meeting yet bald in Ireland to echo
the sentiments of the people of England on the sub-
ject of the " papal aggression," took place in Belfast,
oa I..ureday, under the auspices of the 12ster Pro-
testant Association. The Buttner of Peter says the
meeting, which was held in the Music-hall, "was
large and fluential, but the body of the hall was
sot by any means filled." The Northern If 'Mg de-
seribes ass attendance as "extremely thin." In the
abssace cif the Lord Bishop of Down, which, as the
irvent.,,y Abel remarks, " was not accounted for or
ezainect in any way to the mewing," the chair was
taken
by the Earl of Itoden. The secretary read
letters t f apology from the Duke of 'Manchester, the
Marquis of Itownshire, the Earl of Enniskillen, Lord
O'Neill, Lord Anneeley, Lord Bangor, Lord John
Lliehester, Sir E. Nlacnaghten, Bart., Joseph Napier,
14.1'.. Oco. Hamilton, 3LP., Sir William \ triter, and
from a number of gentlemen who could nut attend.
Mast writers severally expressed their approval of the
otitc3;if the no eting.

great lergt h on the subject of Lord Clarendon'e letter
to Arckibisnop Murray. 11. said :,

The Dublin Evening Mail publishes an address
from the prelates of the established church in Ire-
land to the Archbishop of Canterbury, with his grace's
reply. The pre!ates to Ireland complain of the title
of the address to the Queen from the English hier-
archy bung " An humble address of the archbishops
and bishops of the church of England," as seeming to
exclude the church in Ireland, or to regard it as a
separate establishment, observing that " We have
painfully Mt of late years, as well in legislating on
enclesistical affair. as on many public occasion., a dis-
tention has been manifested to regard the Irish pro-
visos of the united church as if they did not form an
integral portion of the cue church of the nation."
Further the right rev. prelates " We are con-
scious that the Irish branch of the church is pecu-
liarly exposed to the attacks of its enemies. And we
are en that account the more apprehecaive of any
step being taken which has a tendency, even in ap-
ce, to dissociate our provinces and bishoprics
rcumelhat gnat community with which it is our-hap-
piness, and we hope our safety, to be identified."
The following re the reply of the Archbishop of
Canterbury :
Addington. Croydon, Dec. 31, 15.50.
My Lord AreblAshop, —1 beg to technowlolge the receipt
'f a letter signed by sou gnu, by the Archbishop of
Dahlia, and by al: the MA bribcps, referring to the retest
addrere of the English beach 'Aber ille;esty, ia which they
were styled " the erchteishope end bishops of the church of
Entlsod."
I am anxious to enure your grace, and my other right
reverend brethren la Ireland, that this deepsation did not
originate in gay desire to re; must ourselves es • sepera:e
envy, bat was employed solely because, fa the present
iestasos. "the movement of tree common adversary" was
immediately directed spawn ourselves.
It did set appear to say of tte bishom whin I bed the
eppertenity of sousultite, Vtat we dusted petty et:y invite the
Irish bishops to esenplain of an eggreuion which only affected
the aged: in England.
At the saascusae, I am ready for my own part, to
acknowledge last the document would bays beem more cm.

Sarah Ann Peterson wee indicted for neglecting to provide
sufficient food, proper warmth or clothing for, exposing to
the inclemency of the weather on the 7th of December lout,
end also with assaulting end otherwise attempting to injure,
▪ of tender years, aged 6, described es en idiot, of mane

unknown.
Kr. Byhusd, with Hr. Look., appeared to prosecute for the
cerZties of London,
e Reber% relieving officer of the Bast London Union,
doted that on the 7th December, between 10 and 11 o'clock
at night, be w. nt with otter. to No. 27, Skinner-street,
Bishopegate, to the third floor front room, when prisoner
lived with her husband. The door was locked, but was forced
by • poll e constable. In the room was a cradle, in
I a child was lying on its belly in a most offensive
The stench was horrible. When th child was token

out he found it was dreadfully emaciated, as wall as filthy.
It had nothing on but an old frock. There was no bed
covering, and el:hough the weather was very cold there was
no tire in the room. The child's head was sore, and the heir
clotted together from went of combing. Beneath the child
in the cradle was • piens of hard dry breed. There wee
some brawl and butter in the cupboard, but out of the child's
reach. The child was not in its right senses. It was taken
to the workhouse that night, and had SUMO much improvid
is appearance.
Amelia Bantam, who had received the child as nurse at
the workhouse, confirmed the latter witness as to its filthy
state, adding that when she gave it bread and milk it ate
voraciously. The head and body were covered with vermin.
The witness held the child in her arms, which seamed
cheerlul but idiotic. It appeared about three or four years
old only, though said to be fres six to seven. Both prisoner
sad her husband studiously avoided looking at the child
whilst in the her.

lir. Thome Porter, the surgeon of the East Dried=
Union, deposed that on the Bth of Dr:ember, at 8 o'clock
in the merniog, be went and examined the child, who*,
reduced state was evidentl► the result of starvation, then
being no traces of bodily disea.e.
Catherine Donovan, a lodger in the adjoining room to the
female primmer, stated that the prisoner bad locked the child
In the room on the morning of the Bth of December, and had
not returned at half past nine at night. Witness knew pri-
soner had beaten the child frequently—once with a leather
strap on its naked person. (Sensation.) The reason the
prisoner &aligned was that the child was so very dirty. See
husband wee a bootinaker, and she wu a bootcicur. The
husband was seldom at home excepting on Sand .ye.
By the Recorder—Prisoner had frequently locked the
child in the room for several hours. On telling prisoner the
child wu not in its right mind, Abe said it was so ; that she
(prisoner), when in the family way, had been frightened by
• rabbit. _ _ .

_
The prisoner, in her defenee, slid that she always give the
child a cup of coffee and some bread and butter bet re
leaving home, and also placed tour slices in its reach. On
the night in question she stopped to help her husband to finish
his work, to obtain the money.
The Recorder having summed up, the jury, without
hesitation, found the prisoner Guilty.
Sentence deferred.
