DUBLIN, Avower 17. The Lord-Lieutenant has despatched a stipendiary magistrate to Newtownlimavady to bold an inquiry into some new disturbances that have taken place there, the Orangemen trivia!, it is stated, made some violent demonstrations which filled their Roman catholic neighbours with alarm. The married men of the Kilkenny Militia, stationed in Limerick, have been permitted to hire out for cutting down the harvest, returning to barracks in the evening after the day's week. It is to be hoped that where this can be done, without detriment to discipline, the example will be extensively followed. The great importance of the subject will be a suffi cient reason for copying the following passage from a leading article of the .ffivemsors, descriptive of the present state and prospects of the harvest in Ireland The wind ►loos firmly from the Rost favourable points, end though the dog•dsys be ever, we enjoy mere than a doe day heat. It is sow Isere than • week eine* the divine and ;;;yl;ieti - leeTe *deemed to maturity. The wheat appears to have bass MO generally in Inland than fa England or flostionl, sad fears foe its safety were oessequently greater, in consequence of the rapid growth of gran and weeds, which, with a continuance of bad weather, must have over powered both stalk and ear, and induc ed rust as well as rottenness. No sooner, however, wes the crop struck down than the hot sun returns to raise and ripen it. We have heard it remarked that the ripening process has advanced more rapidly within the last week than in any similar period in the memory of the farmer, and with another fortnight or less the wheat crop will he everywhere gathered of the primeet quality and in the best condition. The spring are almost as advanced as the winter wheats—at least the differ ence in haunting will not be more than a few days, while some sa_y weight and quality an in favour of the late sow isgs. Though the growth of wheat has declined for several peers in Ireland, yet it is still a most important product, and prevails in our richer soils more than at any former period. The fertile lands have taken up much, though sot all of the yield formerly derived from wheat cultivation fn poorer soils. Oats is more backward than wheat, though we perceive the sickle has bees in some early fie ld,, and even now oats has been at market, fetching the remune rative price of Bittern shillings a barrel, rather a high figure for fresh, unmeshed, grain. But if oats be not so [Alward it is more hardy, and can neigh it much better than wheat, with which the excessive moisture of our climate does not well agree. Farmers know its capabilities, and are not alarmed if wind and rain handle it roughly, provided it be left standiog, or has drooped a short time before the ripening season sets in. finch has bees the state of the oat crop this autumn. It got well battered last month, and in the first week of the present month was prostrated almost waver sally in the better description of soils, while in up• testis and inferior soils it bore the brunt tolerably well, from the comparative thinness of the crop— bat the sun has agate restored it, or where the weight of the head prevented the erection of the stalk, not the slightest injury has been done, and both the laid and the upright advance fast to maturity. The oats will not be ready so soon as last year's crop, which wee generally cut down in the first week of September. However, if the present weather should continue, with no rainy intermix sloe, there will be little difference in the harvesting of the two yens. Barley, which replaces wheat in many dia , trfots and is rapidly extending in cultivation, is a fine crop, and will come in between the wheat and eats. The potato, the great staple of oar food, and wholly indispensable in oar social economy for many years to come, n looked so promising up to a week ego, when shrivelled leaves and an unpleasant odour indicated the presence of the memorable disease. Hopes, once so cheer ' fel, were nddenly dashed, and the spirits of the farmer declined. It is true the blight bas re-appeared, but is a form so mild and 'codified, and at a period when there are the best reasons for hoping that no very injurious conse quences will arias. Last year the disease appeared in the first donde of July, when the tuber of the late crop—the chief maintenance of the fasser—wn not half developed. Leaf, stalk, and vox? wen then equally affected. Notwith standing this drawb ack, from the gnat breadth sown, the enexmae Hewes"' see-half end two-thirds. Now, this year the disease appears ont. month later, and it is admitted the stalks are scarcely at all attacked, the injury being, as yet, eoaBaed to the leave'. Whether it will proceed further no one can tell, but even if the growth of the crop were wholly arrested at the present moment it should be remembered that the tuber is stronger than last year's by a fall mosth's growth. THE FOREIGN LEGION. HELIGOLAND, Avovet 14. The government have decided to establish an ex tensive military hospital on this island. The neces sary buildings have already been secured, and now offers for tenders of hospital supplies are publicly invited to be sent in to the Commissariat department by the 22nd inst. The stores mentioned in the ad vertisement include ale, porter, brandy, port wine, black tea, sugar, arrowroot, sego, lentils, salt, milk, and black pepper. The contract to extend over a period of six months, commencing on the lit of October. Every article must be of the best quality end undergo an examination by a commission pre vious to being accepted. Orders have been received here by the Comman dant of the Foreign Legion, as soon as 300 men are again assembled, to hold them in readiness for imme diate shipment to England. There were at this morning's roll-call 174, and the number will soon be eemplete, as recruits pour in every day, in spite of the exertions of the German and Danish govern ments to prevent it. Yesterday, for instance, a He ligoland fishing smack arrived with fourteen fine young men, and in the afternoon a small steamer brought nineteen more. lam happy to be able to add that not a single complaint has yet been made by either the inhabi tants or bathing guests as to the conduct of the men, Iwhich is above all praise, and reflects the greatest credit both on the officers and the men themselves for the discipline observed. The latter are well behaved, quiet, sober, cleanly, and, above all, most zealous in their endeavours to learn the exercise and acquire a thorough knowledge of their duties. Amongst the newly-appointed officers are Lieute nants Schmidt (formerly in the Brazilian and Schles wig-Holstein service, and latterly in the let Regi ment of Prussian Infantry of the Line), and Messrs. Lange and Von Barchard. These three gentlemen arrived here to-day by the steamer from Hamburg, and proceed to London en route to Malta, where they expect to overtake and join their corps. The Nassau first lieutenant, who was arrested at Hamburg last week on board the steamer and detained there, as I mentioned in my last letter, has been set at liberty, and has also arrived here for the purpose of joining the legion • but it does not appear that he obtained, any redre ss or indemnification at the hands of the Hamburg authorities for his illegal detention. There appears to be no lack of officers for the corps and the service seems to be very popular amongst this class of gentlemen in the north of Germany. There are at this moment upwards of fifty . officers who have tendered their services and sent in their papers and certificates to head quarters, and who are now waiting for their commissions. THE LOSS OF THE (110 • WISBY (ISLAND OF OOTRLAND), Avo. 9. I regret to have to report that the English steam transport Cottingbam (No. 121), Captain Moore, re turning from the fleet to England with 111 invalids and 12 other passengers on board, ran ashore Int, evening, during a thick fog, on a reef of rocks off ' I Fahl.Udd, to the south-east of this island, and im mediately filled with water. Fortunately the wea- 1 ther was calm, and though considerable excitement prevailed on board, the whole of the passengers and' crew were landed in safety, owing to the judicious arrangements made by the captain, who was himself the last to leave the vessel. Several of the passengers proceed to-day by the steamer to Calmar and Lubeck, en route for Eng land , whilst the rest, together with the whole of the invalids, remain for the present here. Arrangements have been made for proper care being taken for every comfort and attention towards the shipwrecked invalids. There is but little chance of saving the unfortunate vessel. and if it should come on to blow, she must infallibly go to pieces, and hesesse a complete weak. ITALY. (PROW 011 0171 OWN 001 NAPLES, Acrousr 8. From all that is known of the reputation of the Xing of Naples for sancti ty it might not unreason ably be imagined that priests would here be exempt from the ills to which other flesh is heir to. So is it tree to a certain extent. Priests are inviolable within the range of their ecclesiastical functions— they have a most inordinate social influence—the power of the police is in their hands, and never did despot on a larger scale exercise greater tyranny than does the priest in his more limited circle. But this influence is enjoyed on one essential condition— it must be in abeyance to government. It must not only support thisgs as they are, through thick and thin, proclaiming the divine right of kings, but must condescend to any acts whatsoever that may be dictated to it, even to the betrayal of confession, which may be deemed necessary to the maintenance of the powers that be. Onse let a priest be suspected of being a malcontent, and away rith him. In such matters this government exercises a high degree of independence, in spite of its vicinity to thereat spiritual head. An instance in point I recently communicated. The priest who was appointed to officiate at the funeral of the ex-Deputy de Cesare,being suspected of liberalism, was arrested, and sent to a monastery in Cast*, where men of his cloth are not unfrequently sent for punishment, and where they are as badly off as is a dungeon. Another case yet more recent strongly mark. the difference between this government and that of Rome is the treatment of ecclesiastice. A certain Padre Felice had been appointed Vicar General of a monas tery in Naples. His intolerant conduot and his peculation. awakened the indignation of the other monks, who in 1848 raised their voices against him. The reaction, however, taking place very shortly nothing was done, and the sups. riot vowed vengeance. The case came before the Pope when he was in Naples, who refused to punish an scclesisatical authority, and ordered four of the malcontents to be sent to their houses with allow ance from the revenues of the monastery. Last year the order for their exile was rescinded, but only one returned; and, as he continued, together with others of the monks, to scrutinise the conduct of the supe rior, a ready and common method of getting rid of them was adopted. They were accused of a conspi racy against the government, and were seized seve rally by a commissary of police on the nights of the 27th, 28th, and 29th ult. The very suspicion of inch a crime is fatal ; and so doubtful is now the position of government that it fights with shadows, listens to every breath of denunciation, and encourages that distrust and insincerity which have destroyed all in dividual or social faith in this kingdom. So much for ecclesiastics! One anecdote, now, of the judicial power, which is here dependent for its existence on the pleasure of the King, which is, therefore, sold to the powers that be, but which enjoys in return a certain license : it is t►e cue of one of the columns of order, of religion, and of the throne, of a man by whose decision, together wit► that of others, Carlo Poerio was sacrifice d—of one who was, therefore, decorated with the Cross of Francis I. A merchant called Criomo had trusted the son of this judge to the amount of 700 duc. He sent to the court requesting payment of the judge, who promised it for the following morning. At the appointed hour, however, an inspector of police made his appearance, and presented 90 due in cash, and a cheque for 10 due, which was described as in com plement of the full amount. The merchant expressed his astonishment at this robbery of 600 duc., but he was threatened with imprisonment, and gave a re ceipt. This was a ease where the man thirst not appeal; it would have brought certain ruin to him— so many are the modes which power has in this un happy kingdom of oppressing the people. The sensation has not yet died away which was occasioned by the conduct of the police after De Ce sare's funeral, nor have the arrests as yet been termi nated. I hear of them in batches. Foreigners arc regarded with great suspicion, and I am told the English especially, though, as far as my experience goes, they have met with singular courtesy. Indeed, however we may be disliked, our respect for law, and our habit of obedience, are too well known, I should say, to awaken any serious disquietude. A quarantine of fifteen days has been imposed on 1 all vessels coming from Malta, the lonian Islands, and the Levant. The reason assigned is that the plague his broken out in Albania. By telegraphic advice., too, the cholera exists in the south of Sicily. It is at least curious that every year some epidemic is sure to break out, which imposes on this government the painful necessity of putting on a quarantine. A council of state, summoned for Saturday, August 4, had been suddenly called together on Friday, the 3rd, in Ischia. The following incident was recently made the sub ject of a despatch by Mr. Owen, the American minis ter at Naples, to the Minister for Foreign Affairs : Three American ladies, Mrs. Kyle and her two daughters, accompanied by a guide, not long since paid a visit to the heights of Camaldoli. As being ladies, they were of course compelled to wait outside the monastery, and whilst wandering about that de lightful spot, four hungry-looking robbers, in the shape of Neapolitan soldiers, darted out upon them. One seized the bridle of Mrs. Kyle's donkey, whilst another drew his sword, and threatened to kill her if she did not give up her purse, adding that he and his comrades were dying with hunger, and must eat. The guide interposed, but this only called down fresh oaths, and the flesh expression of a determination to have their money or their lives. The men were informed that the ladies had only two piastres about them, which they con sented to take, and the soldier reluctantly put up his sword. How the matter has terminated I do not know. It seems that the men had deserted, and that they had lain concealed for three days. Amongst the latest arrests is that of a member of the princely house of Atri, plunging the whole family into mourning and consternation. This gentleman married, some time since, Miss Obriscoff, a Russian lady, well known in Naples; and her Russian friends, a. well as the Russian authorities, are being applied to to interfere. Why or wherefore the arrest has been made is unknown. DENMARK. A letter from Copenhagen of the 11th, io the Cologne Gazette, gives the following details of the opening ot the Danish Diet, already mentioned :—" M. Bang, the President ot the Council, accompanied by all his col leagues, went to-day to the Chamber of the Volks thins, and read a letter patent from the King de claring the session open, which was answered by three times three hurrahs from the deputies. The old . priest Lindberg, who is the strongest opposi tionut in the Diet, called out in & stentorian voice that a cheer should also be given for the constitution and the electoral law. This proposition was responded to by another round of three times three. The elec tion of the president was then proceeded to, and M. Rottiviss, the old president, unanimously chosen." A letter from Vienna, in the Post Ampt Gazette, nays:—"h consequence of the acts of brigandage which have been renewed on the frontier of Monte negro, the Austrian government has charged General Mamala to signify to Prince Danilo that the very first time that similar acts are repeated, Austria will seriously interfere. The general was to make known to the prime that Austria was desirous for the pros perity of Montenegro, but that she could not see with iadiSwenoe the incessant renewal of throe some of saisoontlaot." THE BATTLE OF THE TCHERNAYA. (From the Times ) The intaistance of a Sardinian army in the great battle of European independence is one of its moat remark able incidents. That the King of Sardinia should send 16,000 Piedmonteee and Genoese to encounter the greatest military Power of the age, when Austria is content to filch a prey, if it can, by the occupation of the Principalities, and Prussia still stretches her lubber length from the Niemen to the Moselle—tea:ma inutsk pondue—is a living reply to ten thousand complaints of &ming heroism and extinct ro mance. There is not a State in Europe, however small, however remote from the preload scene of the conflict, that is not interested in the result; but Sardinia alone of the lesser States has the soul, the prescience, and the loyalty to step forward, and stand side by aide with England and Ermine* against the common foe. Tbat chivalry has now been proved and rewarded. A Russian army, computed at 60,000 strong, has descended from the heights, and attempted to surprise the French and Sardinians posted on the Tchernsya, with the same result as when the enemy suddenly presented themselves through the fog on the morning of November 6. They have been beaten, and driven back with great slaughter, and Russia has been taught that there are other estagoolste ready to miring up, and fit to cops with her, bends. those whom she first defied, and who she possibly had good reason to believe would always stand alone. The Battle of the Tchernaya now tells her what she has to expect even from those 11111110/ . States, IMP one by, one they rouse themselves, and throw themselves into the struggle. Sardinia hal won the first laurels, and how does she now stand ? Though leas in number and In power, she now becomes equal in fame to her great allies. They are bound to support her as their comrade it arms. In those changes which invariably follow a length ened conflict, doubtless the State that took her share in the cost, and shed her blood for the cause, will have due se card. But that is a distant and uncertain consideration. What immediately tells is, that the character of the Sardi else army is now established by the strongest test, and upon the noblest arena. Even if it has no more to do, and were to return home with t►is single achievement, it will hence forth be no mere show of uniforms, no mere armed polio., inch as the armies of other smaller States very generally are, but a bcdy of proved soldiers. Every Sardinian from the Crimea will be pointed at throughout all Italy as the, man who has not only seen battles, an he may have done, unhappily, on his own soil, but in a distant region, in 011•-• flint with Europe's most terrible foe. He will he a man to be honoured, to be known, to be relied upon, to be taken into eoutsel, and, should thy occasion ever arise, to be asso ciated in plan and in deed. When other States promise and deceive, vacillate and palter, betray the present and take refuge in the intone, and try by every artifice to retain honour without its coil, every Italian will see is Sardinia • State which stakes everything when it pledges its word, and that does not naaert more in the council than it is prepared to maintain in the field. (From the Morning Pest.) We had been led to expect then tidings, not from any intelligence forwarded from the Crimea, so much as from our knowledge of the feet that orders had been transmitted from St. Petersburg to the Russian Generals to attack oar lines before the end of August. The reason. which induced the Emperor Alexander to give such orden, and fix a elate for their mention, wen the urgent representations of hie commanders, who sent despatch after despatch to their Government, informing It of the dearth of the means of transport and of provision, which was melting itoelf severely felt, and threatened to prove fatal to the very existence of his armies, if the month of September should Sod them in their then position. In vain the Russian Generals tempted attack; in vain, when we made rtcossunissances, did they leave passes nude feuded, and keep their armies from view, in the hope to entice us into their traps. The Allied Generals were too cautious and too wise, and the consequence was, that the Russians had no course left them but either to retire into the interior of the country, where their waits could be supplied—abandoning Sebastopol to its fate, so far as the army of relief was concerned—or to mike one more despe rate effort to "drive the invaders into the lea," and than to save the stronghold of the Czar, and • vs the honour of his arms. (From the Morning Herald.) It is not only that the victories at Sweaborg and the Tther nays have bests gained with such terrible loss to the enemy and comparative ease and harmletenens to ourselves; it is not merely the difference of spirit, which two such victories must of neeranity lathes into the minds of the combatants — and that is not unimportant—we trait they will soon be found to be two rest steps to farther °unguents. Hitherto oar fleets have been comparatively inactive ; vest differences of opinion have paralysed their action. Doubts have ex isted—and grave ones—in the minds of competent men, as to their Starts fur this kind of enterprise. Now that diffi culty has hem suddenly solved ; and men Gel (rightly or wrongly) that the bombardment of Sweaborg is the fulfil ment of the French proveib—.. C'est le premier pas qui coute." That action is Senile in many others. The Rus sians themselves ca , .not fail of being alive to all this; they must feel now that they are losing, not here or there, but at every point. Their courage and their attention must be equally distracted by these new successes, and a vigorous push at Sebutopol may possibly bring the war to en mass conclusion than was expected. (From the Morning Citrotaick.) It will be seen that, whether influenced or not by the re sult of this battle, Generals Simpson and Pi lissier have re solved on following it up. The former General has tele graphed to Lord Femurs, that he and Goners! Pe'infer had decided on opening See from the French and English batteries at dawn on Friday morning. Tbue every hour may bring us important news from Si bastepol itself, end it is not heyond the range of possibility that the sojourn of bet Majesty in Paris may be signalised by still more import ant news, than that which has already Clan to us from Sweaborg and from the Tchernsye. THE CROPS. The splendid weather of the past week has effected a marked and gratifying change in the grain crops, and 1 flelds,sre already cut; barley and wheat are ripening and changing colour with almost magical rapidity, and to eight or ten days, should the weather continue as at present, the scythe and the sickle will come into general and active operation, and doubtless the bu.k of the crops in this dis trict will be secured in prime condition.—Nottinglinvi Re view. The wheat harvest will commence generally on Monday neat. Toe sample will be greatly inferior as compared with last year. Each year now shows a falling off in the arrival of Irish reapers. The war, emigration, the improved con diiion of Ireland, and the practice of mowing corn are the causes.—Stomfond Mercury. The harvest in East Lothian has already commenced, and will be pretty general on Monday over the early district, of the county. The crops everywhere present a very heavy appearance; but the want of sunshine and the late rains have done a considerable amount of damage to toe wheat. Tee yellow maggot has been more than usually destructive. The potato fields are more than usually luxuriant, particu larly the red varieties, and, as yet, no appearance of disease has been seen in the fields.—Edinburgh Courant. Hay is now mostly gathered, and in bulk is far below an average. Wheat in this country will, beyond doubt, be above an average. The quality of the crop will, however, be contingent on the next few weeks' weather. Potatoes and turnips surpass all former crops within our recollection. Potatoes continue free from disease et a later stage of their growth than in any season since 184.5. The potatoes and turnips of this cautty are certainly extraordinary crops.— Apr Advertiser. Relating to the harvest, cheerfulness has taken the place of despondency. The yield, though not equal to that of last year, will, it is anticipated, supposing the present weather continues, prove nearly if not quite an average. Harvest has now commenced in some favoured localities, and will doubtless soon become general.—PlymourhJournail. More settled weather is now bringing the harvest rapidly forward. A considerable breadth of oats and peas has been cut, and in some instances carried to the rickyard. Wheat and barley are little moss than oommenced with, and of the former a lamentaVe breadth has been flattened by the rain. The later part of the hay crop is in progress of being so. mire at d, and the bulk is generally balmier than that which was cat a much earlier date .—Covenfry Morita CELEBRATION IN DERBY CV THE NAVAL VIC TORY IN TEE BALTIC.—The news off the successful bom bardment of Swesborg was hailed in Derby with general rejoicing. The bells et All Saints, St. Alkmunds, St. Wer burgh', and St. Peter's, sent forth merry peals daring the day ; cannons sod guns were fired in various parts of the town ; sod the union jack wa. hoisted at the manufactory of Messrs.

What with the firing of guns, the roar of rockets, the fining of tquibs, and the cheers of the mul titude, the scene was one of great excitement. The polices we re in a ttendance, but the authorities thought it better to allow the popular feeling to give vent without unnecessary interference. Of course a succession of such scenes is not desirable, and we hope that this single dencon.tration will be considered sofficient for the occuion, as a repetition of snob scenes might lead to unpleasant ooncequences.
