ANOTHER OUTRAGE IN DONEGAL.—LETTER-
KENNY, Oct. 24.—A man named Denis Sweeney, a labourer,
was found this morning on the side of the road leading to
Strabane, insensible and covered with blood, having been
beaten in a most savage manner, and evidently lett fur dead.
He was visited by Dr. Smith, who has not the remotest
hope of his recovery. It is not yet ascertained what the
motive for this outrage can have been ; however, one man,
I hear, has been arrested by the police with marks of blood
on his clothes.—Freemata's Journal.

BLACKBURN.

The Relief Committee met on Monday evening,
in the Town-hall, under the presidency of Council-
lor Sturdy. The hon. secretary, Mr Henderson,
reported that the sub-committee had distributed
relief last week to 334 cases, representing 1,450
persons, at a cost of £lOB 7s 61 ; as compared with
last week this is an increase of GO eases, 300 per•
sons, and of £l5 Gs 3d in the amount expended.
The Expenses of the committee for the week were
£l2s. It was agreed to recommend the Educational
Committee to issue school certificates for the atten•
dance at a day school of the children of those in rem
lid', the attendance to be paid for at the rate of 2d
per week, as formerly. Mr Alderman Hatchkson
called the attention of the committee to a statement
which had been made public that the Oldham Re-

lief Committee distributed relief to the unemployed
operatives in the Oldham Union. This statemeLt
had been made the basis of an argument in favour
of the Blackburn Relief Committee undertaking to
relieve the factory operatives now out of work in
out-townships of the Blackburn Union. It was,
however, contrary to fact. Whatever might be
the boundary of the Oldham Relief Committee,
there were, or had been, eight additional Relief
Committees organised or in operation, and four
of these district committees had been before
the Manchester Cammitte3 that morning as ap-
plicants for a grant. I❑ the Blackburn Union
there had been a local committee established in 13
townships in addition to the borough of Blackburn,
and if the distress incre•ased in these districts these
committees could at once make application for a
grant to Manchester. The meeting adjourned till

Monday next. The statementA!derm— an Hutchinson
refers to was made by Mr Dickenson at the Board
of Guardi3rs meet"ng last SV.urday. It will be,
therefore, understood that Mt Dickenson's Eaissiou
to the Relief Cummittee was ensuect:ssful.

The Tribunal of Commerce of the Seine has just
given judgment in an action brought by M. Durand/
proprietor of the Hotel de Strasbourg, near the Eastern Rail-
way station, against M. Sciallero, of a similar establishment,
formerly called the "Hotel d'Allemagne," but to which be
has lately given the name of " Hotel du Chemin de Fer de
Strasbourg." The plaintiff alleges that the words 4. du
Chemin de Fer" are written in such small characters on the
defendant's sign as to be scarcely visible, and that confusion
is consequently caused between his establishment and the
defendant's. He therefore demands that the said sign shall
be altered or suppressed, and that the defendant shall be
condemned to pay him 3,000 fr. damages for thus virtually
usurping the name of his hotel. After hearing counsel, the
tribunal decided that the defendant should, within a wcelc
from the date of the judgment, have the words "du Chemin
do Fer" printed in letters of the same size as the other
words, and that he should also pay the plaintiff the sum of
300 f. as damages, with all costs of suit.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—A GERMAN SAVAGE.---Gotlub
Kahlbraer, a tall, strong fellow, about 25 years of age, a
hawker and bird-fancier, was brought before Mr Partridge,
charged with assaulting Mr William Knipple, the landlord
of the Flying Horse public house in Lambeth-street, White-
chapel.

Mr Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution,
and said that both parties were Germans. The prisoner
had been in the practice of frequenting the Flying Horse,
and making a disturbance there. Yesterday (Wednesday)
evening the prisoner was in front of the bar making a
noise. Mrs Knipple requested him to leave the house, which
he refused to do, and made use of the most foul and
horrible language towards her. Mr Knipple. who was
in the cellar, was called up, and told the prisoner to
leave the house. The prisoner became quiet, and 31r
Knipple left him and went into the cellar again. The pri-
soner renewed his offensive conduct. and the landlord again
left the cellar and ordered him to go out of the house. He
refused to do so, and insulted the landlord and his wife in a
very gross manner. Mr Knipple laid hold of the prisoner
to put him our. A scuff: ensued, and the prisoner seized
the complainant's right hand between his teeth and bit the
thumb and the first finger severely. He then seized the
landlord's left hand and bit the thumb. The landlord was
severely injured, and had been under medical treatment.
He (Mr Young) submitted that the prisoner ought to be
severely punished for this outrage.
Tho complainant and other witnesses deposed to the as%
sanit and to most disgusting conduct on the part of the
prisoner.

Mr Partridge said the prisoner had conducted himself in
a very improper manner, and that the assault was a very
cowardly one. He could not characterise the outrage too
strongly. It was unmanly, disgraceful, and dastardly. The
prisoner's own witness said this was not the first time ho
had acted in a similar manner. Ile sentenced the prisoner
to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two calendar
months.

BLACKBURN.

The Relief Committee met on Monday evening,
in the Town-hall, under the presidency of Council-
lor Sturdy. The hon. secretary, Mr Henderson,
reported that the sub-committee had distributed
relief last week to 334 cases, representing 1,450
persons, at a cost of £lOB 7s 63; as compared with
last week this is an increase of GO oases, 300 per•
sons, and of £l5 6.3 3d in the amount expended.
Tae t xpenses of the committee for the week were
£l2s. It was agreed to recommend the Educational
Committee to issue school certificates for the atten•
dance at a day school of the children of those in rea
lief, the attendance to be paid for at the rate of 2d
per week, as formerly. Mr Alderman Hutchinson
called the attention of the committee to a statement
which had been made public that the Oldham Re-
lief Committee distributed relief to the unemployed
operatives in the Oldham Union. This statement
had been made the basis of an argument in favour
of the Blackburn Relief Committee undertaking to
relieve the factory operatives now out of work in
out-townships of the Blackburn Union. It was,
however, contrary to fact. Whatever might be
the boundary of the Oldham Relief Committee,
there were, or had been, eight additional Relief
Committees organised or in operation, and four
of these district committees had been before
the Manchester Cemmittes that morning as ap-
plicants for a grant. In the Blackburn Union
here had been a local committee established in 13
townships in addition to the borough of Blackbui n,
end if the distress increesed in these districts these
committees could at once make application for a
grant to Manchester. The meeting adjourned till
Monday next. The statemeLtA.lderman Hutchinson
refers to was made by Mr Dickenson at the Board
of Guardians meeting last Saturday. It will be,
therefore, understood that Mr DiekenEon's raiseion
to the Relief Wmtnittee was unsucceesful.

The Tribunal of Commerce of the Seine has just
given judgment in an action brought by M. Durand,
proprietor of the Hotel de Strasbourg, near the Eastern Rail-
way station, against M. Sciallero, of a similar establishment,
formerly called the "Hotel d'Allemagne," but to which he
has lately given the name of "Hotel du Chemin de Fer de
Strasbourg." The plaintiff alleges that the words 4. du
Chemin de Fer" are written in such small characters on the
defendant's sign as to be scarcely visible, and that confusion
is consequently caused between his establishment and the
defendant's. He therefore demands that the said sign shall
be altered or suppressed, and that tho defendant shall be
condemned to pay him 3,000 fr. damages for thus virtually
usurping the name of his hotel. After hearing counsel, the
tribunal decided that the defendant should, within a week
from the date of the judgment, have the words "du Chemin
de Fer" printed in letters of the same size as the other
words, and that he should also pay the plaintiff the sum of
300 f. as damages, with all costs of suit.

BURNLEY.

There are now in Burnley no less than 23 mills
and sheds at a complete standstill; the majority of
the remainder are running short time, and a fear
exists that even these may succumb to a fluctuating
market, The Effect of this severe depression has
been to add considerable numbers to the unemployed
operative list of the local Relief Committee, and the
committee have now to exercise great discrimined
tion in selecting the most deserving cases from the
multitude that present themselves. Last week's
returns show that 650 applications for relief were
made, which occupied the committee two consecutive
days in examining; the result being that 344 cases
were entertained, representing 1,424 persons, who
were relieved at a cost of £126, the average indivi-
dual earnings amounting to 2d per week, Some of
the young unmarried powerloom weavers have
banded together and issued a circular, wherein they
solicit the assistance of the public in the following
terms :—" Distress in Burnley.—lt is no use our
applying to the Relief Committee for aid, because
their ink is not to support single men.. Now, be-
cause wo are not married we are, as a body, likely
to perish. Looking at these things, in the name of
humanity we ask the public what we are to do.
The law forbids stealing, and starvation cannot be
borne much longer, for our frames are almost ex.'
hausted. There is a necessity for our taking some
honest means for our support." Daring the past
week the Board of Guardians expended in relief
£241 2s 3d, against £2ll lls 83 in the correspond-
ing week of last year ; 107 vagrants were relieved,
and there are 113 inmates in the house, against 120
in the corresponding week of last year.

articles to have been safe a fortnight previously, and the
bracelet now produced, and found pledged at Mr Lawley's,
is one of the bracelets stolen.
Mr Philips here said ho believed a bracelet had been re-
ceived in pledge at his shop. Ho left the court to ascertain,
returning shortly afterwards with a bracelet, which was
identified by Miss Otley as her property, and which had
been pawned in the name of Ann Walker.

Detective officer Margetson, It division, deposed to tracing
the property, and also the prisoner, who was apprehended
by him in Dublin, as already reported.
Mr Maude said it was scarcely necessary to go into small
cases against the prisoner, who had committed numerous
offences, because they had already two clear cases of fraud,
and one of felony against her. It was not for him then to
say anything regarding the prisoner, because she would be
dealt with by another Court, to which he was about com-
mitting her. He could not help remarking, however, that
she appeared to be a very clever person, first of all in suc-
ceeding in deceiving a business man of the world, which Mr
Wilkins might be presumed to be, and who, by her specious
manner, appeared to have been the innocent cause of her
introduction to and acceptance by Miss Harvey, and who,
finding the prisoner backed up by this respectability in her
representations, had also fallen a victim to her.
The prisoner was then fully committed for trial cn three
charges at the November sessions of the Central Criminal
Court.

although it has been imported. About 935 tons a-
cotton was the produce of 1863, and tons, werft,
received up to the end of August in thiS Year: 2 Bast'
roads, and the want of means of transport, are great
hindrances to the cultivation of cotton, and govern-
ment has not done anything towards the removal
of impediments. Her Majesty's Consul at Damasa
cus states that he has had the queries of the associa-
tion translated into Arabic, and forwarded them to
the mudirs of the districts, and the sheikhs of
the principal villages, but the answers have not
yet been received. From personal inquiries made
at Baalbek, he reports that 1,000 acres were planted
with cotton in this district in 1863, and 3,000 in
1864, and that the produce in the former year
was 36,0001b5, and is czp;:cted to be in the latter
180,000Ibs, which is sent to 13eirut. The cr:,ps
look healthy. American seed had not succeeded;
the plants came up well,but the autumn reins set in
before the pods were ripe. The native plfait does
not require so long a time to come to perfection.
The climate. is cold, owing to proximity to Mounts
Lebanon and An•i-Lebauor.. Vaziot.;s grants of seed
were made, which closed the proceedings.

The Distress in Lancashire.

PRESTON.

At the weekly meeting of the Relief Committee
held at Crooked-lane on Monday night there was a
further increase in the number of cases relieves'.
It appears from the report presented that the num..
ber of cases was 2,413, comprising 8,983 persons,
who had been relieved at a cost of X 251 7s 2d, being
an increase of 113 cases, 34S persons, and 111 15s 2d
in cost. The chief constable's report shows that there
were 8,973 operatives workieg six days per week,
1,346 five days, 1,322 four days, 4,599 three days, 45
two days, and 11,139 totally unemployed. The num-
ber of mills totally closed was 27, and the loss of
Wages for the week £9,833 Gs. Owing to the pre.
valence of scarlet fever and other sickness, the Re-
lief Committee ordered their visitors to report as to
the extent to which this prevailed, also the condi.
tion of the dwellinghonses and premises in the dis-
tricts affected. The result of these inquiries showed
that during the past fortnight there had been 192
cases of scarlet fever, 41 of which had proved fatal,
The sanitary condition of the worst part of the
town was in many instances very bad, open cess-
pools and other nuisances being enumerated. The
committee referred these reports to the local Board
of Health, who promptly instructed their inspector
to see that the evils complained of were at onto
remedied.
