There coin no longer be any doubt Dumas that t he potato crop is failing, and that the disease is uncheek. tl. Numbers of potatoes, dog tip sound and healthy, have rotted after a few dam Before long the price of the potato will rise in the markets, and cease to be an ' article of food for the poor, wko will of course have fidl back again upon the workhouse and Indian mesh It would appear that the disease this year proceeds from the heart of the tuber outwards ; end not from the skin inwards, as was the sees is ether years. The rapidity with which the Moose has programed is another fact noticed by wineevers. A correspondent of the Evening Post (dated to be a Mayo magistrate) mentions that a po tato called " The Rattler," which escaped in former yews, is attacked this year like the rest. There, ate, however, some cheering facts which must not be lint sight of. The Evening Pod of last night says: Lest year there was a general scarcity—the wheat crop did not amount to more than half en average yield, and the en tire weal produce, as well as potatoes, was di ficient to an immense extant. At present cheat is generally abundant, and the smaller grains have yielded • fair return. In fact, Providence has blessed us with a fine cereal harvest, and we are enured that turnip and other more nutritious vegetables very extensively sown even in the western province, promise an abundant nem. A coo alterable portion of potatoes will, we trust, be also available for food, although the rise in price likely to result from the deficient supply, as soon as the diseased kinds geese to be pressed on the markets, must, we fear, place that esculent beyond the reach of the poor. After so great an exhaustion of the resources of the country, leading to difficulties and emberraseaseats amongst the gentry and the middle classes, the positive loss caused by even a partial failure of the potato crop could not fail to aggravate the evils desk. condition. But the weight of the calamity would nseesanity fall upon the poor, already broken down by famine, and looking to the poor law alone for the means of keeping body and soul together. We now consider the recent extensive arrivals of Indian corn at Cork, and other Irish ports, as most fortunate and oppor tune, although they have created an actual panic amongst the shallow and ignorant scribblers who choose to call them selves ° protectionists." Those supplies, and the abundance of potatoes in the market for some we ks past, bad caused Indian corn to become a drag in the market. Our hope is that large quantities of this valuable and nutritious grain will be available ; and that, notwithstanding the deficiency of the potato crop, food may continue &blindest and necle. rate in price. One thing, however, iscertaio, the potato can not be at all depended upon as food ; five years of failure must have convinced the most obstinate and short-sightsd that it would be perilous, in the highest degree, to place the slightest reliance upon that root. It is, we know, most dif ficult to change any system growing out of long usage a..d social habits; and our earnest injunctions to plant potatoes very sparingly have heretofore been little attended to. But now, after • fifth failure, it would be absolute mediae*s any longer to place trust in the potato. The only beneficial effect that has resulted from the successive failures has been the establishment of • greatly improved course of husbandry, and the substitution, to some extent, of turnips and other vegetables for the potato. The change in this respect must become general, or the country will be constantly exposed to the repetition of such misery and destitution as we have wit nessed for the last four years. The Cork Reporter of last night contains some im portant intelligence about the Queen's Colleges. There is to be • senate of the colleges of twenty per sons, selected from scientific and literary men of emi nence, seated at Dublin. The chancellorship of the colleges is to be offered to the Prince Consort. The degree examination will take place at Dublin. The Reporter also mentions that toe professor of history intends to avoid all controversial ground in his lec tures. The first year he will devote to philology, the second to English literature, and the third to the his tory of Europe from the breaking cop of the Roman empire to the times of Francis the First. The lett r of Lord Anglesey about the moderate whigs, which yen were the first to publish in the Express of the 19th, was read here with intense interest, and has caused quite a sensation from the fact being diocovered that the much-abused Lord Anglesey was ready to go a-head so far in our Irish politico, and saw so clearly into the character of the moderate whigs. The .Freeman's Journal of this morning reprints the letter from your columns, and devotes a long leader to commenting upon it. LORD STANLET AS AN IRISH LANDLORD.—The Rev. John Ryan, C.C. of Cashel, in a letter to the Tippe- ; rary Vindicator, says : " With Lord Stanley's conduct he a , landlord his tenantry have every reason to be content. He made within the last fortnight two visits to hie property adjoining this city; he inspected the farms and husbandry of his tenants and their houses; and after seeing every thing with his own eyes—relyg, as he ought, on nothing or no one but his own personal knowledge—he made abate ments to his tenants of 161. to 201. per cent. The farms are generally what are called ' old takes,' and the rent therefore not high. To one tenant (P. Kearney, of Stephens town) he remitted one year's rent out of two years' rent due by him, tmiause several of his (Kearney's) cows died lately of distemper, and offered him liberal encouragement to build a rivet table elated house. This treatment of his te nants by Lord Stanley—of the men who make the other wise inert unprofitable earth make money for him—is libe ral, and wise as it it liberal; for thus, by acting on the only safe principle of ' live and let live,' sheriffs and bailiff., Bee., &c., will cost him but little, and his rents will be paid to him satisfactorily. 'Ti. merely, however, with the view of seeurieg due appreciation of such judicious and generous po licy on the part of Lord Stanley ti , at I make it public through your respectable sad thorengbly independent paper. I know the other landlords of this neighbourhood too well to think, or even imagine, that they will be in the slightest degree influenced by the wipe example thus set them." THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE.—SitHO his Grace's arrival at Lismore, on Friday week, he has had quite a re tired life, amusing himself by inspecting all the places about the castle and castle lands. He goes along without any pa rade or ostentation, and expresses himself much pleased with the place. Lord Burlington and his son are with him. They have been grouse shooting on the mountains, and have had fair sport. They have also tried their hands at salmon fishing, but the duke's medical attendant has been the only successful one of the party. It is expected his grace's stay will be prolonged to some two or three months, es some nacre of his friends are to be here either thelatter end of this or the early part of next month.—Cork Constitution.

With respect to the proclaim, there cannot be a doubt but the crop I. a fair average one. Barley and eats are admitted on all hands to be right good. Great anxiety was felt impacting the success of the turnip crop, but it has dissipated, sod there can be no doubt that it will prove more than an ave rage. The various leguminous crops have proved the best we have had for many peen, and we consider that they may be rated at above the usual average.

An outcry was hammiest that the midge rewarded their tae ales ad math* Mesh • end the mesequenee was that a plan weempahed he th e manageserat of the whole of the government patronsp, sad which was adopted by the tories when they got Into power. It apposes that every vac am? whisk now wears in a government of is reported to the T , who writs to the government member of the town w the vacancy occurs, and he nominates one of his supporters, or a eon, or • brother of one of them, to the office. In the official notification of the appoiatment it is diaticctly and ponapougy mentioned that the perry NIX been appointed at the recommendation of Sir Mulberry Hawk, or Lord Verisopht, M.P. for se-sad-so, on purpose that it may be made known what is pined by voting the right way. Many evils arise from this system. Voters are bribed by it prospectively to vote for the government ; incompetent and improper persons are appointed to edictal situations bemuse voting for • certain party is the only qual•fication required, and it effectually prevent& a government department from adopting a system of promotion by removing an official from one place to another. If any attempt is made to fill up a mercy by promoting a deserving raw a hue-and-cry is raised by venal voters against the intrusive stranger ; and Sir Mulberry or his Lordship is obliged to write to the tea ser„ to mouse the government that he cannot count on his next election, unless one of his supporters obtains the situa tion. In the For-office the pay is mall, and the work labo rious ; and the poor servant in that department is doomed all his lifetime to fill the situation to which he has ones been appointed. No prove:got reward or promotion cheats his monotonous toil. The best way to remedy these evils would be for the govern ' meat to insist that no one should be appointed to an effleial ' situatim, salmi some respectable party would be answerable in some sum of money for his good 'toadied ; and also to promote es many deserving servants as possible, by means of I every vacancy that occurs. If Sir Mulberry or Lsrd Vert , elan must have the local patronage of the government, it i should be after the claim to reward of old and faithful public servants had been duly attended to. The demoralisation of railway servants is to be attributed in a great measure to the bad example of their superiors The tonna very likely think it not much worse to steal goods, or sash, than for the latter to "cook' amounts. Wait respect fur honesty can men have whose patrons and employers are publicly denounced as wieder* and cheats There Ims been too much fraud sad chicanery practised by railway magnates, to expect that their subordinates will be faithful to those who employ . them, ce to the public. When railway boards and directories are purged, and disreputable persons are superseded by honourable men, the morals of railway servants will improve, and the property of the public will be better secured. A similar evil, however, prevails in railway as in Pott. Lela management. There is gross carelessness in appoint. lag redway servants, and they are ill-treated after they have been appointed. A merchant or leukemia seeks to employ the most competent and worthy as his cleats, or shopmen ; and would rather maintain a dishonest relative in idleness, than be encumbered with his assistance. Not so railway directors The persona they easploy are recommended by friends and acquaintance, and their only qualifications are very often their proved unfitness for every other kind of em ployment. A merchant constantly watches the conduct of his servants, and kcews that his interests tre materially ad vanced by rewudisg the deserving. Neither railway or post -office !servants get any of these encouragements. Re wards are solely foe those who possess political or directorial interest. . _ It appears that there are not less than a quarter of a mil lion of persons employed in the post-Wmos and on the railways of this country. Tae g ent and the railway companies have the monopoly of conveying letters and Roods; and the public must sternly insist on vigorous and effectual measures being taken for the safe transmission of their property and correspondence. It is no compensation to the poor man who has lost a money letter, or the tram mel' whose bale of goods has boon stolen, that the post °file, or railway Odd is transported if detected. The aattonal chareater is degraded by this extensive demoralisation of public servants, and the iseenvesienee it pauses the public and the extent to which it the badness and coma me of the country, is hie.

The directors of thin company have issued their report, to be prrssuted to the half-ye►rly meetimg on the 27. h. It states : " Tee directors ex rug their regret that the completion of the works in prestress has teen retarded much Limon the period contemplated The Clyclesisle Jutectimi • Reailwey was only pc: belly opened about a month be'ore tee dare of the financial half-year and the lismAton branch, from which a large traffie is szpectied, is only jest completed. Tba Gera kirk-Extentien, with the new station in the centre of Glas gow, is not yet in operation, though the works are now so far advanced as to admit of this line and station being com pleted and opened for the use of the public within two months from this time. Similar delays in the works id other lines, which are intimately connected with the Caledo- nian, have been attended with ousequenoes *Tiny un favourable to it. The commianication with the Dundee and Perth Railway has beset at length formed, and the speedy opening of the Aberdeen Railway has been enninneed ; but the non-completion of these connecting lines at an earlier period has prevented an increase in the receipts. In addition to these causes, the prevalence of cholera in Glasgow and the neighbouthood during the early put of the year was productive of most injurious results, by the almost entire cessation for many weeks of the passenger traffic in that locality. " In cusequenee of these adverse circumstances, and the feet that the revenue for this half year has now for the first time to sustain the increased expense of the entire anoints canoe of the way, the directors regret to annouece that the balance is insufficient for the payment of a divideudon the ordinary share capital of the company. " In order to admit of a more complete audit of the ac counts of the company than would have been otherwise practicable, a clause was introduced into the Wchew Pur chase BP!, by which the half-yeatly meetings can be held in Much and September instead of February and Augutt. " The traffic receipts for the month of July and August in the last and present years were u follows : leis g I 1849 In July 15,463 In July 24.190 In August than exhibiting en increase in July, 1849, over July, 1818. of 6,1271.; and in August, 1849, over August, 1848, of 3,8811.: or an average weekly iIICITIK3O of 1,2.501. During these two months the number of mile, open iu 1849 was 13 miles in excess of 1848, arising from the resent epodeg of a portion of the Cly - leadale Junction line. Assuming only that the above increase of 1,2501- ',week will be maintained till the end of the eurrent half-year, there will be an increase of 32.5001. beyond the corresponding half year of 11'48, and of 40,8191. beyond the receipts of the past half-year. " The directors trust that the revival of trade, and the completion of communications hitherto imperfect, with the gradual development of the traffic, will, in a short time, lead to such an increase of revenue as will admit of a satis factory dividend. " The hills authorising the purchase of the Wishaw sod Coltness Railway, and the leasing of the Glasgow, Barr bead, and Neilson Railway, have received theaanction of Parliament. " Under the Glasgow, Paisley, and Greerock Amalgama tion Act, the guaranteed dividend payable by this company is 4 per cent., with an option at any time within five years of terminating such fired dividend, and placing the Greenock shareholders en the same poeiiion as to dividend as the ordi nary shareholders of the Caledonian company. By the clause introduced into the Wi.haw and Coitus's Punkas° Bill such option is tam away. In the Glasgow, Burnead, and Neilston Leasing Bill, such alterations were made during the palming of the bill as removed the objections entertained to it The terms of the lease, as settled by parliament, are a preferential dividend of 6 per cent, on 150,0001. of original capital; 6 per scut. on the additional capital of 150.0001., and the interest on a moa gage debt not exceeding 50,0001. " The dividends on the preference shares of the company are reserved entire, and cannot be prejudiced or affected by the guarantees established in favour of the shareholders of the Wishaw and Barrhud companies. 'The working coutract with the Scottish Central Railway Company has now be , n in operation for come months, and the working et the line and traffic arrangements have been catried on under the superintendence of committees dele gated by the boards of the London and North Western and Lancaster and Carlisle Companies, and this conapauy. The sum of 4,0001., paid to the Scottish Central Company, and embraced in the present accounts, le a sum which was eeeee d to be paid to and accepted by the Scottish Central, in full of all claims which they had against this company to the 31st of January last, and which included accounts due to the Scottish Central Company for workbag the Cutlet:sly branch up to that date, and for the use of engines belongii , e to them which were employed on these lines before the Scottish Cs te tra was opened. " The shareholders generally are aware of the position in which this company stands as regards the arranstemeLte with the Dundee and Perth Railway Compaq. The directors, acting under the advice of eminent counsel, felt themselves compelled to intimate to the directors of the Dundee and Perth Company, that they could not, under existing eircum tances, undertake;on behalf of this company the Puty and expense of maintaining and working the Dundee and Perth Company's lines under the present contracts. According to the opinion of counsel, these contracts are liable to objections in point of law, which do not apply to the contract under which the working arrangements with the Scottish Central and Southern Companies are carried on. It rests, ttmefore, with the Dundee and Perth Company to establish the legal validity of these contracts, if they mean to Insist for imple ment of them." The liabilities due by capital, and not included in the Wince-sheet, amount, for stations and works, to 188,7071., and to complete the working plant 63,9101., making a total of 242,6171. The only liability not included in these state ments is the unadjusted claims for land. The directors inti mate that in cone' quence of Mr. Barstow's resignation there will be room for another shareholder resident in Englaod in addition to Mr. Alderman Thompson, as a director in the company. The capital account to the 30th of June shows that 4,654,6211. had been received, and 5,149,3201. expended, in cluding 3,691,5831. on the main line; 637,2391. on the Clydesdale Junction ; 212,7451. on the Garakirk end Cat bridge; 69,4961. on the Winn, and Coltness; 331, (11. on seven new branches, and 408,8541. on subsidiary lines, leaving a balance against the company of 494,6981. The revenue account for the half-year ending the 30:h of June stated, that 122,6501. had been received for traffic, 1,9071. premium on sale of preference shares, and 11,6411. balance from the last account, making a total of 136,1981.; and the expenditure on account of working the traffic, 71,5141.; interest on debentures, 29,6661.; and gu.,ranteed dividends, 21,1041. ; leaving a ba lance of 14,0141. in favour of the company; but, deducting the balance from the last account, and premium on sale of shares, it would eh .w that, after paying interest on loans and guaranteed dividends, the profit realised amounted only to 4661. for the half-year on the Caledonian line proper, upon which 3,691,5861. had been expended. The working stock on the Caledonian Wishaw, and Coltness Railways is estimated to be worth 450,3941. The report of Mr. Campbell, the auditor, states that, in making the audit, are has been taken that every charge against revenue, at the period of the balance, should he in cluded in the accounts. The entries of expenditure in the books for the half-year have been compared with the vouchers, which are so arranged as to give facilPy to this part of the audit. It is proper, however, to state tb .1 from the multiplicity of transactions, the vouchers for tame of which frequently involve long statements of account, it is desirable that the audit, in order to be more effective, should take place et least quarterly instead of half-yearly, as at present. There belongs to the company at the present, under the management of various parties, but not under the control of the accountant, a considerable amount of pro- perty, both houses and lard, of which the statements given were not altogether satisfactory. It is understood, how ever, that this matter will shortly be properly arranged, so as to show the exact amount of income from, this mums. If the Scottish Central Railway Company's working eontraet with the Caledonian be, u advised, a legal and ' valid contract, there Wu been incurred, for the half year ending the 31st of July, 1849, a liability to the Scottish Central amounting I. 14,1941, which, not bdng yet payable, his not been entered in the books of the Caledonian com pany, nor charged in the accounts now laid before the pro prietors. The above sum consists of—first, 6,4981., the Caledoulan's share of expense of working the Central; se condly, of 8,696/., being proportion of receipts to be ab stracted from those of the Caledonian, to form the " traffic fund," out of which the guaranteed interest to the Scottish Central Company is to be paid. Mr. Johnston., the chairman of the company, has for warded a circular to the shareholders, stating that he in ducts, as usual, a form of proxy, in case they are unble to attend the meeting, laying before them the grounds on which the directors ask the continuanee of their confidence, and defending the policy of the board against the state ments of the London committee of daintiest shareholders, with Captain Plunkett at their head. GREAT Woman": We are requested to state that a document circulated at the general meeting of the Great Western Railway Company, on the 20th last , headed " Re port," which relates to the supposed finances of the company, does not emanate from the directors of the company, or horn any official authority, and ia calculated to mislead the pro prietors as to the crane of the undertaking.
