WOODTIIORPE."

lORRIBLE ASSASSINATION OF
THREE PERSONS.
(From the Gazttte de Tribunaux.)
A terrible and mysterious crime has just been com-
mitted at Six-Fours, near Toulon. The victims are a
man named Corneille and his wife, each about fifty years
of age., and their mother, aged ninety- four. They were
in easy circumstance?, and inhabited a farm in the
neighbourhood of the above place, together with a son
and daughter, about twenty years of age. The latter
had passed the night in a neighbouring village, at a re-
lation's, and on returning, the next morning, were aston-
ished to find the doors and window-shutters closed, and
smoke issuing from the crevices. Alarmed at this, they
quickly opened the parlour-shutters, when, to their
horror, they saw their father stretched on the floor in a
pool of blood, having evidently been shot full in the face,
so that his death must have been instantaneous.
He seemed to have been called out of bed to open
the door to some one, as he had on his trowsers,
but neither shoes nor stockings. On the first
floor was found the body of Madame Corneille,
who had been killed in the same manner as her husband.
As she ha' on merely her night-gown and an under-
garment it is thought that she bad been shot while get-
ting out of bed to go to the assistance of her husband.
In the next room was found the. body of tie roor old
grandmother—almost a emtenaran--stretched lifeless
on the bed ; her skull and breast fractured, and her right
arm broken. In order to efface all traces of their crime,
after having taken a hundred francs and a few gold
trinkets, the murderers had coolly taken measures for
ensuring the complete conflagration of the house and its
contents. Under every bed, and in almost every piece of
furniture, were found large quantities of straw and linen
stuff, arranged so as easily to take fire ; these had been
also set fire to in five different places. The murderers
must have been known to M. Corneille, for he appears
to have opened the door to them, which being shut
at eight o'clock, all access was impracticable from with-
out. On the next day the door was found locked, the
assassins having taken the key, in the hope that all en-
trance to the burning house being rendered impossible,

the bodies of the murdered persons presented but slight

by a separate an independent company, but with power
to sell the line, or lease it to tht London and North.
Western. The terms of the agreement had been ap-
proved by the proprietors of the Birmingham and Lich-
field line, and he felt assured that the proprietors of the
Loriden and North-Western would find it to be to their
interest to ratify the contract. The line was one of con-
si.lerable importance in point of local traffic, and with
some alterations from thb original draft, by which the
route lay more in the neighbourhood of Sutton Cole-
field, it would become atilt- more extensively usefuL
The line would, indeod, be a continuation of the pre-
sent company's line to Manchester, in connexion with
their other lines in that district, and thus they would be
able to accommodate a greater amount of traffic than
otherwise they could well manage. He therefore begged
to move that the agreement between the two companies
be confirmed.

The resolution was unanimously passed.
The CHAIRMAN again said that in consequence of the
loss of the Warwickshire and London project, it became
necessary that they should eudeaveur to work the line
from Rugby to Leamington. The present company had
taken half the shares in the Rugby and Leamington
Company, and they would now have to consider the pro-
priety of sanctioning a transfer of the other half, so that
the line might become the entire property of the Lon-
don and North-Western Company. He was sure he
need not say anything about the importance of the traffic
on this line, knowing as they did that the Leamington
line was one of the most valuable for passenger traffic in
the kingdom. The Rugby and Leamington Company
was formed of 360,000 shares, 180,000 of which they had
at par, but had been obliged to pay 41. per share premium
for the other half, which was no doubt a large price,
but in view of the extent of the traffic was after all but a
small sum. He moved that the agreement for the pur-
chase of this line be also sanctioned.
Tho resolution was carried.

Mr. Richard Cadley, and a few other gentlemen,
having come into the room rather late, owing to a mis-
understanding as to the time of meeting, the chairman
recapitulated his statement, and mentioned the business
done. Mr. Cadley said he was perfectly satisfied with
the resolutions, and, indeed, his confidence in the di-
rectors of the company was such that he would have
had no hesitation in agreeing to them on their simple
recommendation.

CHESTER AND BIRKENHEAD.—RESIGNATION
OF THE CHAIRMAN AND HIS BROTHER.
LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY,-A special general meeting
of the shareholders in the Chester and Birkenhead Rail
way took place at twelve o'clock to-day, for the purpose
of authorising and empowering the directors to raise, by
way of mortgage, the sum of 100,0001 to be employed
in the construction of the extension line from Grange-
lane station to the dock upon Wallasey Pool. A con-
siderable body of proprietors were present. Mr. William
Jackson, chairman of the company, presided.
The CHAIRMAN proposed a formal resolution giving
the directors the necessary power to raise the loan. At
the last general meeting, held about a fortnight ago,
said tile chairman, in continuation, the directors were
, authorised to proceed with the extension line, and to
carry out other arrangements. At that period he had it
in contemplation to take the step he was about to take ;
but he considered it best to pause until the present meet-
ing, in order to see whether he could be useful in carry-
ing out the arrangement with the trustees of the Duke
of Bridgewater. There existed, he was happy to believe,
no impediment now to the whole arrangement being
carried out, namely, the extension of the line to the
docks, and agreements with the Cheshire Junction
party, the Commissioners of Birkenhead, and the trus-
tees of the Bridgewater estate. But, at the same time,
he must explain to the proprietors, and he wished to do it
as gently as possible, as ho desired to give no offence, that
parties rather personally opposed to him had the power
in themselves of carrying out these several arrangements,
inasmuch as they represented all the differents interests.
lie should, therefore, be consulting the best interests of
the proprietors by retiring from the direction, and he
must no longer be considered as acting in the capacity of
a director. After what he had stated, the proprietors
would agree with him, that when great interests were
concerned, private feeling should not be allowed to in-
terpose, and he must candidly state that at present those
interests would be best managed by those who had the
power, which he had not, of carrying out the arrange.
ments. If those arrangements were carried out, they
would certainly be to the ultimate benefit of the com-
pany. He thanked the proprietors for their courtesy on
this, and their many acts of kindness on former occa-
sions; and he hoped they would all enjoy the prosperity
to which he had ever thought the line would arrive.
The Chairman concluded by moving the resolution.
Mr. CHRISTOPHER BENTHAM seconded the resolution,
and it was unanimously carried.
The meeting was about to separate, when
Mr. J. S. JACKSON, the Chairman's brother, rose, and
with some emotion, sail he should follow the steps of his
brother, and resign his seat as one of the directors. lie
had great satisfaction in the b2lief that he had always
conscientiously endeavoured to do his duty whilst sitting
at the board.
No notice whatever was taken, either by directors or
proprietors, of these somewhat extraordinary proceed-
ings; and the meeting separated without the customary
courtesy of thanks being tendered to the Chairman.
It is said that the chair at the board will be offered to
Mr. Win. Potter.

TRICTS.

IRELAND.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
DUBLIN, Nov. 2.—The members of this body ass,:q-a-
bled to-dAy at one o'clock in Conciliation-hall. The
attendance was rather larger in the body of the ii it
members' seats, but the galleries were thinly attendiAl iy
ladies, probably owing to the state of the weather. The
increased auditory was, of course, the result of the usual
announcement—" That the Liberator would attend.' At
the appointed hoar Mr. O'Connell, M.P., accompanied
by Mr. R. D, Browne, M.P., Mr. J. O'Connell, Mr.
O'Neill Daunt, Captain Brodnriek, &c., entered the hall,
and was warmly received. The lion. and Learned
Gentleman appeared to be in rather feeble health, and
looked extremely careworn, notwithstanding his tempo-
rary cessation from public labours.
The proceedings of the day, notwithstanding the pre
solve of the alpha and omega of Old Ireland, were more
than ordinarily stupid, and were unrelieved by any
feature of novelty save the fact of Mr. O'Connell having
fairly drawn the sword upon his quondam ally Mr. Smith
O'Brien ; and, as both leaders are no a' in open hostility
towards each other, there is no doabt that the public
will derive no small share of instructiin from the future
controversies between the two respective champions of
moral and physical force.
After some dull preliminary business bad been waded
through,

Mr:O'CoNNELL rose to make the speech of the day.
He said that he had. intended to address them at great
length with reference to the Cork resolution, and to dis-
cuss in many words the real position of all parties ; but
he was unable to do so, for his heart was too full, and
his mind too much engaged with the misery of the Irish
people, who wanted food and employment.—(Hear,
hear.) He (Mr. O'Connell) could think of nothing else.
He was asked, did he know the real state the country was
in ? His answer was, that he knew her position well—
knew her dangers, at:d could tell the gentry of Ireland
and the Government that it was absurd to imagine that
six or eight months would see them over their difficul-
ties. He was sorry to pronounce it as his candid opinion
that they were but at the commencement of their
horrors, and that if a beneficent Providence did not guide
the Government, it was impossible to say what the posi-
tion of the country might be in 12 months. Famine was
almost universal ; still he was rejoiced that even out of
evil good should come, and that the wretched state of Ire-
land had been the means of circulating a feeling which
never before existed—a feeling which he had an op?or-
tunity of observing personally in the south of Ireland.
He (Mr. O'Connell) had attended a meeting in Fermoy,
in the county of Cork, on Friday week, and he there
observed clergymen of all creeds and gentry of all creeds
and classes of politics—(Dear, hear) joining together
to alleviate the universal distress which prevailed, and
joining together in a deputation to the Lord-Lieutenant
to claim succour from the Government. They had
formed this deputation, and had an interview of three
hours on the previous Friday with his Excellency, who
was most anxious to do everything in his power to carry
out their wishes.—(Hear.) In addition to that, they
had gone to the Board of Works, after leaving the Castle,
to pray for assistance, and there also they were well re-
ceived.—(Hear, hear.) Indeed he believed he was justi-
fied in saying that the Board of Works were ready to
work for Ireland to the utmost of their power, and even
to work on a Sunday, as they had lately been doing, and
a better Sunday's work they could not be engaged in.—
(" Hear," and cheers.) He stated this, for he was under
a misconception as to the Board of Works. He now
saw that they were not to blame for, any delay
which bad taken place, as it was altogether owing
to the smallness of their staff, and he was
happy to say they were doing all they could to have
that staff enlarged. They had brought over a great
number of Sappers and Miners from England, but still
there were many yet required, for the misery of Ireland
was great—greater, he was afraid, than could be re-
lieved as they could wish.—(Hear, hear.) lie (Mr.
O'Connell) had suggested the appointment of a national
committee; he was sorry it was not appointed to assist
the Government and Board of Works, and he thought
they would have to nominate one; but he would not say
anything more about it then as his doing so might be
the means of preventing some persons joining them,
from the impression that it was a political Movement.--
(Cheers.) It was stated that he had not done anything
for the country under her present awful position. Now,
the fact was, that he was occupied day and night in
considering what ought to be done, and, as far as his
own district, he thought he had made arrangements
which would prevent want at least for some time.—
(Loud and continued cries of " Hear, hear.") His
great anxiety was that the people should know their
position, and assist the Board of Works, and say or do
nothing which might prevent the officers of that
establishment doing their duty. He (Mr. O'Connell)
had heard with regret that in the county of Clare
an engineer had been badly treated, and he would call
on the people to avoid all collision with the authorities,
and not to attempt to stop food in its transit through
the country, for the result would be, if they persisted in
such conduct, that those officers would resign their situa-
tions, and then relief would be withhold. There was no
sacrifice he (Mr. O'Connell) would not make to render
himself useful at such an awful crisis, and he had made
some sacrifices.—(" Hear," and cheers.) He had left
his native mountains to assist the Government to feed
the people, and, although in his 72d year, and requiring
rest after a laborious session, he did so cheerfully; and
if he wero not as strong and healthy as he had been, it
was not to be wondered at at his years, and considering
the exertions he had gone through; but, thank God, he
was still young enough and healthy enough to see the
Parliament restored to College-green. He (Mr. O'Con-
nell) sincerely believed that the Earl of Besborough
was most anxious to do all he could to give food
and employment, and he regretted he was deprived of
very valuable assistance by the exclusion of clergy-
men from relief committees--for clergymen of all creeds
were exclude d ; no doubt the lords-lieutenant of coun..
ties had the power of putting them on, but, as they were
all Tories, they were not likely to nominate Roman
Catholic curates, who were so competent to give advice
and assistance.—(Hear, hear.) There was another
matter he (Mr. O'Connell) wished to notice ; he alluded
to task work. He was a strong advocate for work being
done by task, because then a poor man could get his
children to assist him, and he was happy to say the
Lord Lieutenant had promised to adopt it, and said he
would issue directions to the paymasters, under the Act,
to pay as much as possible for the work at once, and the
balance as soon as it could be ascertained.—(Hear,
hear.) It was perfectly clear that the Earl of
Besb irough knew the position of Ireland ; but he
was obliged to say, that he thought Lord Juhn
Russell's letter evally showed that he knew nothing
about her position, for he had written as if he alto-
gether forgot the union, the horrors of absentee-
ism, and the state of the country in a commer-
cial point of view. lie had been taunted for not sug-
gesting a plan in the Association. Nuw, he had sug-
gested one, in its proper place, in the county which he
represented in Parliament—(Hear, hear, and cheers)—
and had it laid before his Excellency; and ho hoped
those who approved of it in other parts of the country
would follow it up, and show the Government they were
in earnest.—((fear, hear.) The country was in a horri-
ble state. It was only a few days back that his son paid
171 for a ton of meal; on the day after he paid 201. for
another ton; and on the next he could not get one to
pnrchase for love or money, and this was owing to the
want of food in the country, and they should enforce on
the Government the necessity of procuring it at once.
There was another matter he could not avoid alluding to,
and that was the conduct of the Young Ireland party, and
he was happy to say that they had openly severed all
connexion with the Association, if any existed, by their
own act.—(Hear.) Mr. O'Brien, the first who left the'
Hall, and the leader of them, had written a letter to the
editor of the iVation, setting up an agitation for himself
(Cries of " Hear, hear")—and he (Mr. O'Connell)
hoped he would be successful in his virtuous inclinations.
—(llear, hear, and laughter.) He proposed that the
leaders of the Young Ireland body should join in a pha-
lanx to address the country in the Nation every week.
Now, he (Mr. O'Connell) thanked the young gentlemen
for the same—((lear, hear)—they hid called themselves
a phalanx—and they could, therefore, not blame him if
he said they were a phalanx—(Laughter)—and he would
wish the phalanx every luck to go on, week after week,
until it increased in ardour, and arrived at the bursting
point—when it would fly like a soda-water cork.—
(Hear, hear.) He blamed Mr. O'Brien for his physics
force doctrines, and could not agree with him. I
his letter he had pretty tolerably praised himse
and abused others ; but he ( fir. O'Connell) did n(

care for abuse—he only hoped that God would forgive
him for the praise he had once bestowed in the same
quarter.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear," and cheering.)
That gentleman had stated that the moral force repealers

. -
would—no'. resist against aggression, hut such was not
the case. They never had put forward such a doctrine,
as would be seen by referring to the resolution of the
ist of July. The i.earned Gentleman concluded by

saying, that.for the future there was no possibility of a
reconciliation.

Captain BRODERICK, in alluding to an article on In-
dian corn, which appeared in the Times of last week,
called on Lord John Russell to open the ports.,
Mr. O'CONNELL announced his intention of standing
for the county of Cork at the next election, stating that
he would leave Dublin, which was safe, to others.
At half past three o'cllck the rent was announced to
be 57/.

LETTER OF THE LORD-LIEUTENANT.—SUS-
PENSION OF PUBLIC WORKS.
DUBLIN, Nov. 3.—ln consequence of the continuance
of the system of obstruction and intimidation in a part
of the county of Clare, the Lord• Lieutenant has issued
the following important letter, which appears in the Dub-
lin Evening Post of this afternoon
" TO THE INHABITANTS OF THE BARONY OF UPPER

TULLA, COUNTY CLARE, AND THE ADJOINING DIS

" The Lord-Lieutenant has learned, with the deepest
concern, that occurrences have taken place in the barony
of Tulle, and part of the adjacent districts, which have
obstructed the operation of those means of employment
for the labouring poor in their present distress which the
Legislature intended to afford. Large presentments
have been made fur public works ha that barony, a great
proportion of which (exceeding 20,0000 has already re-
ceived the approval of tho proper authorities
" His Excellency looked with confidence to the com-
mencement and progress of those works, as affording t., the industrious and well-disposed the means of imme-
diate employment, and a prospect of continued support
during the approaching winter. Competent officers were
provided and employed in the necessary arrangements
for setting the works in operation, some of which hare
already commenced.
" His Excellency has, however, learned that the pre-
parations made have for the present been frustrated by
a system of insubordination and outrage, which ou-
