would seem that the fifty Americans who were taken 1 in launches by the Spanish Admiral, were on an ex- ! pedition to capture a fort ; this in one account. Aso- ther, however, says that they had captured a fort, , and finding they were not joined by any of the emotes, they atfempted to escape. My own opinion is, that they were a detachment from the main body on *ow partisan expedition. Our latest intelligence from the island by the way of New Orleans and Savannah is to this effect : Lopez, after appearing off Havana, landed at Mir retty, 12 miles from Bahia Honda, and took posses sion of the town of Las Poem Directly a column of SOO troops proceeded by sea to attacli him, and a battle was fought on the 12th of the month at San Miguel, near Lan Pow. The steamer Pizarro, which was a part of the expedition, in the meantime grounded at Bahia Honda, and was in the dilemma of being wrecked or captured. Lopez fought two battles and won them; be then advanced to San Diego de Nines, to secure the fruits of his victory. The Spaniards admit their loss to have been very severe—some four or five hundred. On the contrary, the Spanish accounts say the battle was renewed, and Lopes defeated and taken prisoner. We have also reports that Lopez'. forcer have largely increased in number, and that people were openly leaving Havana with the intention of joining him. That a great part of the island is in a state of insurrection, we cannot well doubt, and the result seems yet to be doubtful. _ _ _ . _ .. --- The President has returned suddenly to Washing ton, and called his cabinet together in the emergency. A United States' steamer, with a messenger, is by this time gone to Havana. Meantime a most riotous feeling has been dis playing itself at New Orleans. As soon as the news of the death of the 30 Americans was heard, a mob to the office of the Spanish newspaper, La I :a, ed sacked it, and destroyed all its printing materi ls. They proceeded to the Spanish Consuls office and treated it in the same manner, and then destroyed all the Spanish cigar shops kept by Spaniards. This feeling is said to have been pro duced by the arrival of the dead bodies of two of the officers who had been shot, and the pretence that the Spanish consul had refused to deliver up some letters written by the killed on the eve of their massacre. I enclose you all the extracts and clippings which I have at a very short notice been able to make. There is ao thread in the narrative beyond what I have given you. We have news from Aux Cayes, Hayti, to Au gust I. A letter dated Joky 29th, says :—ln consequence of the departure of the Samna for the north, with hostile intent, as was apprised, the holders of doubloons were shy, and kidthem at 220 dole.

The first parcel of the new cabs mop had been delivered, and there is now no doubt of the immensity of the yield. Coffee has, in consequence, fallen from 100 dols. to Si, Haytien currency. Advice. have been received by the way of Boston, from Kingston, Jamaica, to the 11th inst., and from British Guiana to the 26th of July. The of the cholera in Jamaica was arrested, and the disease was gradually disappearing from the island. The smallpox bad made its appe a .ance on some of the estates in the parish of Try. The north side of the island had been visited by heavy and continuous rains, and vegetation in consequence was as favour able as planters could desire. An attempt has been made by some of the of Georgetown, Guiana, to introduce Lynch = acl / e t man indicted for the murder of a lamb was as quitted of the charge, but fogad panty . at man slaughter, and sentenced to imrtome pont impel...- meat. This did not satisfy tie mob, who endeavoured to take the law into their own bona. and 'curate capital punishment upon the primmer. They were with difficulty repulsed by the . se, and the ring leaders were subsequently arses ma punished by imprisount . ent. - It is estimated that the rem asp of 1851, on the i.land of Barbadoes, is the Went ever raised on that Wand.

From British America, we learn that a bill is now before the Canadian k&lature, which places the Seignorial tenure upon a different footing, though it will neither be abo lis hed nor commuted. The effect of this bill will be to relieve the tenants of many of their burdens. It provides that no future conces sions of land shall be made at a rate exceeding four sons rent to the acre. This is not to interfere with the rents now paid, which amount in many instances to 20 sous an acre. The bill had passed a second reading at our last dates, by a majority of over 30. The legality of the rectory patents is to be tested b 7 an appeal to the judicial tr ibuna ls, either the public or the rectors to have the right of appeal to the Privy Council in England; the expense of the suit on both sides being borne by the province. Our correspondent writes : TORONTO, Aro. 23. Mr. Hineks's resolutions to amend the civil list were yesterday adopted in committee of the whole, to which was referred the despatch of Earl Grey on this sub ject that excited so much attention in this province a few months ago. Under the resolutions the salaries of judges are to be fixed at 9001. a-year for chief-justices, and 9001. a-year for praline judges ; the salaries of the ministry to be at the same rates. The attorney-generals to receive 9001. a-year, and the other members 8001. A bill was introduced founded on the resolutions, but its effect is to be prospect ro, and not to affect present incumbents. The reduction made in the resolutions is about 25 per cent. The object is to appeane the retrenchment erf that was so load a little time ago. Apart from this there has been very , little of importance done.

'l'o one witness she once showed a letter which she said bad been written by a person who could neither read nor write, and that person, she declared, had been miraculously endowed with the facility of writ lag in consequence of her prayers. To another witness she asserted that she had on a particular occasion been sur rounded with great light from Heaven at Cadenet. To a third, she said that she had once, when in the Convent of Sallow, planted • cabbage by the command of Heaven, and that in few days it grew to such a vast she that all the in the convent were able to make a dinner of it. ct r r e n u l re of Saignon deposed that he bad known Rose Tamisicr for 15 yaw, and had always noticed in her a marked tendency to piety and mysticism. In August, IWO, she told him that she had miraculously received the sacnunent in the parish church ; and on going to the taber nacle of the altar he found that the consecrated wafer had disappeared. Oa two subsequent occasions the costae elated wrier again vanished, and Rose pretended that she bad again mareculowly commutated. He therefore waived the ke of the tabernacle, and forbade her to approach the a ltar; he alto directed his vicaire not to my mass at the principal altar ; but nevertheless the coasscested. wafer was again taken away, and he could not discover that any second key to the tabernacle existed. On going to the church one morning, he was surprised to find the tabernacle open, two candles on the altar lighted, and Rose prostrate on the ground. In answer to his questions, she said that the candles had become lighted of themselves, that the tabernacle had voluntarilyopened, that she had felt herself fixed to the ground at some distance from the altar, and that the consecrated wafer had then advanced slowly to her mouth. About the same time she pretended to have marks of a miraculous character on her breast, oat to prove this assertion, she produced her linen, which bore sometimes stains representing the Virgin Mary, and, et others, a crown of thorns. He took measures to ascertain whether the bad not so marked her Seen, but without success. One day before celebrating mac, he ordered Rose to place a piece of clean lima to her breast, and not to leave the church without his pm mission. When the MIN was over, he called her to leo vestry and made her produce the linen; to his ottoodio meat it bore the figure of the Virgin. By direction of Oa archbishop, he directed her to pray to Gud that the melts on her breast might be removed; and a few days after they disappeared. The vienire of Saignon, after deposing' to the repeated disappearances of the consecrated wafer, stated that in the month of October last he had to say mar one morning at five o'clock, and expressed to Rose the fear that be might not awake in time. Rose answered, " I will have you awakened." The next morning be was aroused from his sleep by three blows struck on his night-table, and at the same time he beard distant music. A moment after the clock struck five. The nest day he said to Rose, " Yon forgot to awaken me ?" She answered, " I had you awakened by . my guardian an- I.!" The w itness added that another miracle ascribed to SUS al VIM she had caused buttons to be sent to him in a stesass tray, to repair his cost. The fact was that he bad Read the bottoms in his apartment, sad that no one could t 11 how they cams there. But he attached no importance le that fact, sad Milladeted It a joke. M.

Maim* Suisse, a &tor of the Order of the Presentation do be Marie, allot in reli g ion Sister Sainte-Leonarde, stated that she witnessed some of Ross's miracles, anti hued not believed I. them. She had warned her to ho prudent in her ma dam. Several other witnesses then deposed that Rom Mil made extracedinary statements to them, had pretended* les in frequent communication with the Holy Virgin, to Have peculiar marks on her breast, He.

IMPORTANT LEGAL DECISION AT PARIS.—A curious question has been submitted to the Tribunal of Simple Police at Neuifty, viz., whether the owners of houses letting part of their houses furnished are to be cu ddled lodging-house-keepers, and as such bound to keep a bask kw the police containing the nano s of their tenants.

THE REMIT= MURDER CASE NEAR MAISPETIL— As we intimated last week, the horrible steer which was ping the ,e of the . prom (and which we espied from ma erne malMaporanes), was a mere " readany, dein ** and men."

Although we are within six weeks of the close of the Exhibition, there are among us hopeful spirits who be lieve that successes are yet to be achieved within its walls. Accordingly, the aisles and avenues of the Crystal Palace still resound with the clang of hammers, and red-ccatod workmen continue busy drawing from new escamments the useful, the curious, and the ornamental. On Saturday the sappers wore unpacking some recently-arrived boxes from Austria, containing grates, stoves, and general hardware, which promise to be worthy additions to the collection pre viotudy exhibited from that realm. The Swedish goods are in process of installation, and several loads of articles were brought to the building towards the close of the day. Among these was a large piece of ord nance, said to weigh more than 26 cwt., which is 10 feet long, and of 18 inch bore. The American reaping machine, which is now important enough to be placed in the most secluded nook of the United Statesdepartment, was sought out through- out the day on Saturday by numbers of gentlemen apparently of the more advanced school of English agriculture. The performances of the machine were freely discussed, and al though a few cynical spectators, apparently anything bat pleased to see this Yankee notion expand to a great fact, predicted that its blade would be broken by stones, and that the hones would tread down the cern, the majority kept up a lively series of interrogation' touching price, weight, draught, and other like practical matters. The most common and, perhaps, the most real, fear expressed by persons who see the machine for the first time in the building is, that it will not work exactly on undulating soils. This objection, however, disappears as soon as the observer notices that the cutting edge is in a line with the bearing wheel, and thus rises and falls with the ground over which the wheel is travelling at the moment. As soon as this is taken into account it becomes clear that any de clivity less sudden than a diteh easy easily be reaped. Cash account, Sept. 6.

With reference to the removal of goods from the Exhi bition when it closes, it has been determined to leave exhibitors almost entirely to themselves in that matter. Each must look after his own property, and get it removed as speedily as possible. The two blank days intervening between Saturday the 10th and Wednesday the 15th of October, will be devoted to the clearing of space for packing operations by the removal of carriages and such like bulk objects. During that quiet interval, also, jewellers and silversmiths will be allowed to take away the valuable objects contributed by them. COUNT LAVRADIO, THE NEW PORTUGUESE An a/MAW% has made the commercial relations between this country and Portugal an object of considerable attention, and there is every reason to believe that his views on this sti*4 are liberal. He arrived et Southampton last Wed. issy night. The clock struck twelve when the Montrose arrived alongside the dock quay. The telegraphic dispatch in the Dail y News of Thursday announcing his arrival, is , dated Southampton, Wednesday night. His Excellency slept on board that night, and in the morning he was con ducted to Silva's continentel hotel. While at breakfast, jut after 10 a.m., in company with several gentlemen who were at Southampton to receive him, the London Thursday morning papers were brought in, and one of the gentlemen present drew his excellency's attention to the announcement of his arrival at Southampton, which they sustained. The count was perfectly astounded at the fact dna within a very few hours the account of his arrival bad him communicated to the metropolis, • distance of eighty mile% and published there; and that he was able, after es* a brief space of time bad elapsed, to read that account In a London paper at Southampton. His excellency passed a high eulogium on the country where such extraordinary emergy and enterprise were displayed. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE APPROACHES TO WINDSOR CARTLS have been commenced by order of the Com missioners of Woods and Forests, after the plans, and under the direction, of Mr. Page, the government architect. The massive iron gates, stone buttresses , and *leading connected with the lodge at the grand entrance to the Castle by Parket:vet, have been removed, and the lodges at the entreats to the Long Walk taken down. Two magnifteent gates are to be erected here, the one lead ing to the Castle to be reserved for the sole ise of her Ma jesty and the royal family, and the other for the use of the public, in passing and repassing to and from the Long Walk. The design of these gates has been completed by Mr. Page, and is very elaborate. The ornaments include the, and of every British monarch from the time of the Norman conquest. The gates are to be constructed on • new self-eating principle, and by which they will be made to open and elan as the carriages approach and depart without the assistance of the gatekeeper. The high read to 1 Old Windsor by Fromnore has been stopped, the Hope Inn and all the buildings in that neighbourhood bave been taken down, and henceforth the road will be used only as a car riage drive to the residence of the Duchess of Kent. The old wall enchains the Home Park by Frying-pan Walk will be immediately pulled down, and several vistas have already been made by the felling of Ames in the avenue leading in the direction of the keeper's lodge, by the old Waterloo gates. The park paling on the Frogmore side of the Long Walk will be taken away and replaced by an in visible fence : this alteration will add much to the beauty of this matchless avenue. The royal property adjoining Frogmore Lodge, and known as Shaw Farm, consisting of about SOO MIS of arable and meadow land, will shortly be given up by its present tenant, Mr. Charles Seaward Can trell, to Prince Albert for the purpose of being converted into • model farm by his Royal Highness, and the old dairy at Frograore will be removed thither. Several sales have recently taken place of the materials of houses par- Awed by the crown on the Castle side of Thames-street, brae purpose of their being pulled down, and the few which remain between the hundred steps and Cmtlestreet will be sold and pulled down in the coarse of a fortnight. Orders have been given by her Modesty and Prince Albert that all the contemplated works connected with the im provement of Windsor shall be carried out without dela L.

A terrible accident occurred on the Buckingham shire Railway on Saturday evening, by which no less than six persons lost their lives, and many others were injured. Excursion trains left Oxford on Monday and Tuesday mornings for London, with the understanding that passengers would return at stated times as late as Saturday. On that day the excursion train left the Euston station for Oxford. It consisted of 14 carriages, drawn by one of Stephenson's idx-wheel patent en pines. Some of the carriages were unoccupied. There were, however, about two hundred passengers, it being not only the excursion train fur bringing back those of the excursionists alluded to, but it was also the excursion train which runs on Saturdays from the Euston Station to Oxford, returning on the following Mondays- Several of the passengers were on their way to Saint Giles' Fair at Oxford, for the purpose of visiting their friends. The train left London about five o'clock, and approached the Bicester Station at a rapid rate at 7.30. On passing the " points " the engine became disconnected from the tender, went off the line to the right, knocked down the farther gate-post by the side of the turnpike-road for /Aylesbury, which crosses the line on the level, and approached close to the porch of the station-master's l house which in all probability would have been forced down but for one of the rails becoming twisted round the wheel of the engine, and the ponderous machine becoming embedded in the sand. Persons who were by the side of the road as spectators were placed in imminent danger. Two or three, on seeing the engine off the line, ran under the porch of the house, which the engine approached to within a few inches. The three carriages next to the engine went off the line to the left, knocked down the opposite gate post to that razed by the engine, and went over with a dreadful crash. The scene was terrible. The cries of the suffering passengers and of their friends who were in wait ing at the station were appalling. Oae of the Menages went over on its side into the turnpike road, another also wont completely over and the iron work crushed it in, and Iron the third the bottom was torn off. The station being so user the town the event was soon known, and the cente r/at became very great. Many of the inhabitants forth with hastened to the spot and gave all the help in their power. Mr. William Acton, surgeon, of Queen Anne-street, Cavendish-square, and Mr. - F. D. Wyatt, of Queen-street, Oxford, a student of King's Cull ge, were passengers by the train. They immediately gave their advice, and aided in the removal of the injured passengers. Several who were only slightly hurt proceeded to their desdnations, but the injuries received by ten of the passen gers were so 'triune that they were forthwith removed to the King's Head, the Nag's Head, and other inns. The following persons are now lying dead at Bicester, viz.: Corporal Noon, No. 63, of the 7th Company of Royal Sappers and Miners a promising young man, son of a budder at Oxford, who had leave of absence from Ken sington Barracks until Thursday next. Mrs. Shelton and infant child, of Ashley-place, Oxford. Elizabeth Easley, a young woman, about 18, from 2, Draper's-place, New-road, London. Carica, a lad of 14, son of tho engine-driver who had charge of the engine at the time of the accident. James Luckett, a young man aged about 24, who was on his way to Oxford. The following were more or less seriously injured, and are at Biecster Life-guardsman Davies and his daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Barrington, from London. Mrs. Bailey, from London. Mr. Beata.. Mr. Smith, on his way to No. 1, Clarendon place, Oxford. (This gentleman will, it is thought, be able to proceed home shortly.] A female named Collis, from 53, Moorgate-strect, London. A female named Terry, on her way to Bull-strect, the _ . Friars, Oxford. ~ - Mr. Daniel Shelton, brother-in-law of Mrs. Shelton, who lies dead. Sir H. Verney, Bart., M.P., the chairman of the board of directors of the railway, visited Biccster this afternoon (Sunday) and made personal inquiries. Mr. W. Acton, surgeon, of Queen Anne-street, Caien dish-square, who was in the train at the time, has sent the following to a morning paper: I have just returned to town from Dicestcr, where I was • sufferer in the sad accident which occurred to the excur sion train from Loudon to Oxford last night. The best account I can give of the accident is as follows: We left town by the half-past 4 excursion train for Oxford. At Tring we stood 20. minutes on a siding to allow the 5 o'clock express to pass. We then came at a very moderate rate on to Bicester. At a quarter to 7 p.m., I was seated in the middle compartment of a first-ernes carriage, towards the centre of the train, when I felt a succession of jerks, 23 if the carriage was suddenly thrown back by several back ward leaps, and instinctively caught the side supports; our carriage was thrown on the left siding, and I successively heard crash after crash, expecting every moment my hack would be crushed. Suddenly ail was hushed, except the moans of the sufferers. My brother and myself imme diately escaped and found the carriages heaped one upon another, sad the first compartment of; the carriage in which I was, splintered, and people rushing about in all directions. The engine bad run off the line, And was left behind the carriage I was escaping from vomiting clouds of steam and smoke. My first care was to organise a system of andetance, and, while the people were extncating the suf ferers, I bad them brought into the house of the station. master, who wife gave us every assistance. I next collected four men, with a shatter, and as the wounded were sawn out from among the timbers under which they lay, by torch light, for it had now become quite dark, I had them re moved to the inns, having previously prepared beds for their reception, and the greatest kindness was shown by the landlords. In this I was most ably assisted by Mr. Wyatt, a student at King's College, London, and a traveller like myself by the train, to whose indefatigable exertions the greatest credit is due. As they arrived, the wounded were successively cared for without any hurry, and the dead and insensible were placed in a room apart. One poor fellow, who is now doing well, was about being placed in the tem porary dead-house, in the full belief of the railway labourers that life was extinct; warm bottles to his feet, however, brought him round, and he was placed in a warm bed, instead of being plated on the bare boards with those of the sufferers who had already ceased to breathe. At about 12 o'clock the whole of the &brio of the carriages had been carefully examined, and we could count our dead, many of the slightly wounded having, we supposed, gone on to Ox ford ; and at two o'clock san., after paying a visit to the sick, we retired to bed. In the first moments of the accident Mr. Wyatt and my self alone had the charge of the sick; subsequently we were indebted for assistance to Mr. Dawson and Mr. Woodward, practitioners in Skeeter • and afterwards a reinforcement of medical aid came from Oxford in the persons of Mr. Hester, Mr. Hansard, Mr. Rusher, Mr. G. It. Wyatt, and other local surgeons, whose names I have aot the pleasure of knowing; but at this time we kuew the extent of the mis chief, and one sufferer, whose name we have since ascertained to be Joseph Lockett, alone required a consultation. He was senseless from concussion of the brain, and, although in a dying state, our colleagues from Oxford thought the the operation of trephining might give just a chance of re storieg life. The operation was performed, but the patient never recovered ooneciousness, and dud this (Sunday) morn ing at 20 minutes past 1 p.m. The medical staff, finding that they could afford no further assistance, returned to Oxford, and Mr. Wyatt, Mr. Dawson, and myself paid a visit to the whole of the sick, who we found better than we could have expected. 8, ' 1851.

NORMAL COLLROE FOR WALES.—On Wednesday m orning last a sped sl meeting of the contributory members to the building hind of this college was held at tho Assembly Rooms. The funds having been found inadequate to the erection of the large building originally contemplated, and a ore diffe of opinion having since arisen among the mem ' bers on the question whether the land purchased should be sold, and the money returned to the subscribers, or whe ther the amount should be applied to the erection of a less costly bonding—the present meeting was convened for the purpose of deciding the matter by a majority of the votes of contributors Of free pounds and upwards, prosier bciog allowed. After a long discussion it was resolved by 33 mgosdurian. to the against 8, " That the land at rantgwydir be forthwith sold ; that the proceeds, after paying all charges and lia bilities, be handed overt* the committee for the time being, wants of the Normal College, but subject in detail to the toappbereenTentaed in special the erection off in aora building bei,. „_ suitable a spel meeting IRELAND. DCBLIN. Sen. G. The Tablet publishes in a third edition the following' statement, which, it is needless to say, is only le garded in the light of a " feeler:" " We are informed, on what should be very good Authority, that a letter has been received at the • Castle from Lord John 'lessen, intimating that it is not the intention of the government to institute any prosecution against the offending bishops; that in the opinion of the whiggish cabinet , and of the writer, the whole business has been already carried too far, and that it is desirable to endeavour to al ay the excitement rather than increase and aggravate it. In other words, the government is cowardly as well as wicked. They have done their best to excite a commotion, and to trample down the church, but t hey find it too strong for their purpose, and they are therefore fain to proclaim an amnesty to their in tended victims, in the hope that their intended vic tims will extend an amnesty to them. Ilappily, this base calculation will turn out as false as that which preceded it. No catholic in his senses will trust the whip henceforward." There is nothing in the tone of the Tablet's articles this week which renders a single passage in them worth extracting. The following observati•ms front the Northern Whig, on the new catholic association. are worthy of attention, coming as they do from a journal which has all along adopted a tone decidedly favourable to the Roman eatholics: There is a pause in the proceedings of this body, and an absence of all demonstration ou the part of its lemiers, which, we trust, may he taken to indicate a wholetuine feel ing, on their part, of the difficulties and responsibilities of the task they have undertaken. WChad intended offering some further remarks on the prospects and policy of the new association, but we think it best to wait, until it is authentically made known what its plans, and what the general character of its proceedings, are to be. We do not wish to prejudge the defence committee. It is not too late fur it yet to retrace the false steps it has made, abandon the threats which it has uttered, of plunging the country into wholesale agitation, and can • fine itself to the legitimate object of repelling the per,ecu lions which either the goveraineut or private individuals, in their seal to carry out the new law, may lei: tit to en gage in. One remark we may make, viz., that the impres sion made in England by the meeting at the Rotund° is of the most unfavourable character, and that the catholic. of Ireland could not do anything more damaging to their own and their country's interests, than countenancing or abet ting a series of similar demonstrations. And if, as sonic say, in addition to platform exhibitions, a catholic rent is to be collected, and all the machinery of O'Connellite agitation revived, for the benefit of Meson. Reynolds and Keogh, it will become utterly hopeless to induce parliament to retrace any false step it may have made in the way of anti papal legislation. The party in England, which adheres to the principles of perfect religious equality, is scanty and weak enough already fur the work it has to do. it will become utterly powerless, if the tune of discord Lem een the two countries is to be fanned by a catholic agitation of that character, which the tone and temper of some of the gentlemen who appeared at the Rotund° has, whct her rightly or not, we are unable to say, led t h e great holy tit the English people to anticipate. Fortunately, the temper of the public mind in Ireland, is not favourable to the plans of the more violent among the catholic "defenders." The country has had so much agitation to so little purpose, and is so throughly sick of its folly, that we doubt if O'Connell himself, were he alive, could maintain a muvenieut of that character which Messrs. Reynolds and Keogh, and their followers, for the sake of their personal aggrandisement, aro suspected of wishing to resuscitate. The Evening Post says : " We learn witlt sincere regret that their Excellencies the Lord Lieutenant and the Countess of Clarendon, who, our readers. are aware, have lately lost their infant daughter, are suffering deep anxiety in consequence of the pro tracted illness of their youngest son, who still re mains in a state of great debility." "We understand," says the &ening Post, "that the Earl of Clare has been again appointed to the lieutenancy of the county of Limerick, vacant by thu death of the late earl. It will be remembered that the noble earl-:•-then the lion. H. Fitzgibbon—ori ginally held this office, in which he has been rein stated upon succeeding to the title told -family estates." The great majority of the accounts from the country arc still encouraging with respect to the potato crop. There arc some, however, of a contrary character, and it would appear that the disease is making a decided progress in some districts. The Ereniny Post publishes the following letter front a ' practical farmer in the county of Down: Belfast, Sept. :3,1811. Sir,—l have, during the present week travelled oser a considerable extent of country, and beg to send you the re sult of my obst rvations and inquiries. As to the potato, the leaves and stem of the entire crop that came under my notice present unmistakable symptoms of blight ; still, there is a degree of vitality in the plants, which, talsing Into account that it is upwards of three weeks since the disease appeared, I should hope is a favourable oni: n. The vegetation is not altogether checked, and in many fields a large portion of the stalks still preserve their original green. Up to Tuesday last the injury to the tubers was very slight. Since then the malady has been extending, so that it is impo,sible to calculate to what extent the crop may be affected. Within the last few days, large quantities of diseased po tatoes have been offered fur sale in the Belfast mark. ts, and, I am informed, were sold so low as Rd. to Is. per cwt. This looks gloomy enough, and it is to be feared that a large portion of the crop will, if not entirely lust, at least be *unit for human food. Green crops in general look well. I have not heard that the moth or caterpillar, which has been a, destructive to the turnip in some parts of England, has ap peared in this locality. The grain harvest is progressing favourably, and the prevailing opinion is that the cereal crops will yield an average return. hits flax has turned out au excellent crop, the hest that has been in Ulster for m iny years, so that het fur the uneasiness with regard to the jm tato the improved prospects of the agricultural classes w odd afford matter for congratulation —I remain, sir, very re spitefully yours, Jotter 011.16.1 N. Coincident with the opening of the bazar and fancy fair, held this week in Belfast to celebrate the visit of her Majesty, the inauguration of the Victoria building, on Cliken's Island, took place amidst the booming of cannon from the battery, and in the pre hsence of crowds of the respectable inhabitants of the town. Everything passed off in the most brilliaut manner, and the committee received the well-deserved klicitations of the public on the beautiful memorial of her Majesty's gracious visit, which has been erected entirely through their exertions, and on the additional ornament they have added, by its c.ni 'traction, to the town. George I'etrie, LL.D. and R.11.A., the eminent artist and Irish antiquary, has completed his de-:git for the national monument to the late Mr. O'Conrell. The monument, which will be erected in Glum:Yin Cemetery, and will be an exceedingly picture,que and beautiful object, is to consist of a small temple or church in the ancient Irish style, which I believe is nearly identical with the Anglo-Saxon; and with this is to be combined the peculiar Irish campanile or round tower, and the ancient Irish monumental CI'OSSJ: THE lIARVEST.—Reaping, in all the earlier dis tricts, is proceeding briskly, and, in sonic of the more fa vourable, is considerably advanced. The crops are ever}- where excellent—much better than for a numher of years past. The oats arc, in general, weighty in the ear, and there is a much less proportion of blighted grain than we • have seen for a length of time.
