The Member. designated as " unknown," in
the reports of. the debate in the House of Commons, on
Wednesday, and who spoke warmly in favour of the Poles,
was Lieut.- Col. Fox, son of Lord HOLLAND. It was
his maiden speech in Parliament.

We find, in a private letter received this morn-
ing from Paris, some details respecting the actual state of
the negotiations for placing Prince OTito, of Bavaria,
on the throne of Greece, which tray be considered as
tolerably authentic. The more immediate difficulty is
in what manner funds are to be obtained to enable tl e
young Prince to enter on his new functions with suitable
dignity. The Allied Powers seem to have been partly
guided to the selection of a Greek Sovereign from this
'tl:ariily by the circumstance that the King of BAVARIA is
posse.,_aed of great private wealth, and able, therefore, to
furnish resources for a civil list to his son for a few years,
so as not to press at mice for support on the exhausted
finances of Greece. The KING, however, is not disposed
to any such application of his means, and finds little en-
couragement, it is said, on the other hand, to expect as-
sistance from the country he governs, the people treating
it as a family, and not as a national question. He is per-
suaded, therefore, that the Chambers, should they be con-
voked with that view, will never consent to the raising any
sum for that purpose. The independent tone lately as-
sumed by that body does, indeed, quite bear out such an
expectation.- The only alternative that presents itself is
the guarantee of a loan to Greece, on the part of those
powers who have offered the Sovereignty to Prince Orno.
This has accordingly been suggested by his father, and if
the result should not be favourable, the negotiation is ex-
pected to come to a stand on that ground alone. Another
very important point now pending is the choice of a Mi-
nister to accompany the. young Prince, who, being a
minor, the country must, in tact, be governed by the per-
son to whom that trust is given : and on this a diff rence
of opinion is said to exist among the Powers who seek to
accomplish the settletnent of Greece. Count D'AttatEN-
srcuc, as a man of talent, and also of liberal principles,
his been named for the office. His nomination is sup-
ported by France, but by Russia he is, of course, hated
and opposed, and the King of BAVARIA is also said to have
objected to his appointment, though on the ground solely
of personal dislike. With these obstacles; however, ❑the
was', it is believed that if Pt-ince Oreeo goes to Greece,
Count D'ARMENSPEE G
will be his Prime Minister. Ne-
vertheless, as may be gathered from what has been already
stated, his actual assumption of the Sovereignty is a matter
of very considerable doubt,— Times.

DEPLORABLE,. DLSTRVSS. AT, ALMOND-
,\ Bußt 'AND N4OIeI3OIJRHOOD:
The Wakefield Journal --of Priday contains a
heartrending report of the proceedings of a public
meeting held st Huddersfield yesterday week, for
the purpose of inquiring inid fh6, Present distress
which prevails in that district: It appears that a
committee hail been forined during the winter, to
inquire lido the state i2f the population, when, after
diligent inquiry, it was ascertaiiied thet the average
support of members of families at Almondbury and
the adjoining hamlets was twopence per day! and
that there are hundreds of adrilt persons who have
not tasted butchers' meat for many ffidtithei sonic of
whom have not even tasted bread nor tea, but lived
upee potatoes !
Oeo. Beaumont. e one Of the committee ap-
pointed. to ascertain the state of the. poor, said, the
cases were not selected, but taken from door to doott
The fist case was that of a widow, with six chil-
dren, whose leeekle ineerne was 6s. When visited,
they were in a state of actual starvation; the
Youngest child was ill of the typhus fever, of which
disease its father died some months before. At the
time of his deeedee, there was hot a fiddling or a
farthing's-worth of food in the house, nor the least
oit of soap to wash their few rags-e-nor any means
of getting any.—(Shame.) The second case was
that of a family of three persons, whose income
amounted to three shillings, who lived upon pota-
toes, end sometimes a little oatmeal: This poor
man was 18e. in drreat with his rent, for which his
landlord sold his jenny, which cost him 31., so that if
the man had work, he had no means of working.
The next ease was a family of ten persons, whose
weekly income was Os., and who when visited in the
evening, were found breaking their fasts with
coarse bread and mint tea, without sugar. The mo-
ther was crying over her distressed offspring. Case
the fourth :—a family of five persons; weekly in-
comeSs. ; the wife had been in the typhus fever ten
weeks; the family lived chiefly cn potatoes and sale,
balm tea, without sugar ; and they had had only
four ounces of sugar during four weeks. Case the
fifth family of five, whose wet kly income
,for
the last twelve months was 65.; they lived upon
potatoes mixed with salt and water—sometimes an
onion to savour this unsavoury food.—(Shame,
shame.) Case sixth :---a family of seven, all with-
out work, and had not had more than a pound of
animal food during the last four months. The se-
venth case was a family of seven, who had not more
than 7s. a week for the last three months. These
unfortunate beings had not tasted animal food for
eighteen weeks; they lived chiefly upon oatmeal
porridge : and, when visited, they had not a morsel
of food in the house; they were all pining for want.
This was on a Tuesday, and they had riot bad arty
food since the previous Friday, excepting a little
that they borrowed.—(Shame.) Case eighth :—a
family of seven; weekly incomes 10s.; they had
not tasted animal food for many weeks, and had not
had a gill of beer in the house for two years. They
knew not how they lived ; they were tired of living.
The ninth case was a family of five; weekly income,
for the last six months, 75.; all the furniture
had been taken for rent ; not a table or chair
left. When visited they had no animal food, no
bread, so beer, no tea, no nothing. They had nei-
ther tea nor sugar in the house, but lived upon po-
tatoes and oatmeal porridge when it could be pro.
cured. The tenth was a family of five, whose
weekly income was 7s. One of these poor creatures
had to work all the night before he (Beaumont)
took his statement, to finish the work in his loom,
for the purpose of saving the rest from dying of ac-
tual starvation, as the whole family had not had
more than sixpennyworth of food for the three pre-
ceding days.
Mr. Beaumont then proceeded to give the meet-
ing the state of the people of Scammonden, and out
of a list" of thirty-eight cases, he read the following
nine :—l. A family of three—income Is. 9d. per
week; they sleep in a corner of the loom-shop, upon
straw, strewn upon the floor, without any covering
except the old clothing which they wore in the day
time. 2. A family of four—weekly income 55.;
they lived on potatoes and thin water porridge; no
milk, as they could not pay for it; no bread, no
meat; had woven 160 yards, and travelled 48 miles,
for 16s. 4d. 3. A widow and four children with a
weekly income of 4s. 6d.; they lived upon oatmeal
porridge, without milk, treacle, or any thing else;
no furnioire ; their bed was not worth a penny ;
indeed, they were perishing for want of food. 4. A
family of nine, whose weekly income was 75.; the
whole of them lay on a bed of straw, in a corner of
a wrethed hovel, not fit for one of the brute crea-
tion to inhabit They had no bed-clothes or other
covering, except a dirty course wrapper. In this
family misery reigned in silent triumph. 5. A fa.
mily of nine, with a weekly income of Bs.; they
laboured fourteen hours per day; they had three
beds, and but one blanket for the three, and that
was nine years old. These miserable creatures,
when visited, were getting their breakfast; the
mother had a gill of milk, which she measured out
by spoonfuls to their thin water porridge, being only
two spoonfuls and a half each. G. A family of ten,
whose weekly income was 10s.; they had only one
straw bed for the whole family, they had no bed-
clothes, but slept in those which they wore dur-
ing the day. This family lived chiefly on
_potatoes,
but sometimes had a pound of suet; they had
not had a pound of bread in the house, except-
ing two or three penny cakes, during the last
three years.—(Shame.) 7. A family consisting
of a widow and three children; they are em-
ployed in weaving woollen ends at Is. 4d. per
score; she scoured her own weft, for doing which
she had nothing allowed, and took her work to
Huddersfield. There was neither meat, drink, nor
money in the house, when visited. 8. A family of
three; weekly income Is. Bd.; no bed, excepting
some straw, with an old bag for covering. It was
so long since this family had any animal food that
they did not recollect the time. They had not had
any bread in the house for the last five years. The
old woman• is seventy years of age, and has long
been praying for death to relieve her front her misery.
9. A family of four, whose weekly income was 35.;
they could not tell when they had any animal food,
and it was two years since they had tasted bread.—
(Shame, shame.) This was the state of men in
middle age, and in the prime of life—of young men
and women; what, then, was the state of their
aged parents ? If they searched the workhouse and
poor-books, they would find that they had so much
allowed them as would keep them alive, and keep
them miserable or pining in workhouses.

STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCE.—III February
last a young woman, named EMMA WHITWORTH, was
examined at 'Wakefield on suspicion of having concealed
the body of her child. SARAit WHITWORTH, her sister,
deposed to having assisted at the accouchement, and to
having hurt the child, whereby it died. Sae said she
buried it in an adjacent manure heap, but it could not be
found. EMMA WHITWORTH denied having given birth
to a child, and the sister afterwards declared her first
statement to be false. As money had been obtained from
the parish for EMMA, on the ground of her pregnancy, it
was thought that the whole affair bad in the first instance
been trumped up to obtain the lying-in and pariah-money,
and consequently the affair was dropped. A circumstance
has late.), occurred which has excited much interest
EMMA WHITWORTH lodged with a woman named SE-
NIOR, at the time it was said she was delivered, at Ossett-
street•side. .Near the house is a well, used in common
by the neighbours; and from this well at different times,
since February, something having the appearance of fl,sh
in a jellied state has been fetched up with the water, of
which no particular notice was taken. On Wednesday,
the 11th inst., however, a woman named CARR drew from
the well something which excited her alarm and suspicion,
and her neighbours were speedily congregated to examine
it. The general belief was, that it was the skeleton of a
child, wanting the head, and fresh examinations will pro-
bably be entered into.
