The f illowing letter has been addressed to the editor of Bell's Weekly Messenger : Sir,—l promised, as early as convenient, to send you the result of the experiment of leaving the tops on the late sorts of potatoes. All that has been written and said about cutting off the tops to check the disease and insure sound bulbs is absurd aid fallacious. Most as suredly it checks ti eir gro►vth, and that is air it does do. Those who did it this season will not repeat it another. The potatoes on which I allowed the tops to remain were sounder, larger, and better boilers than those from which I removed them. It is now quite certain that the newest varieties are the best. The old Rushford blue, that has been so long grown in this part of the country, has de generated very much ind.'ed, and cannot again be planted with any degree of certainty. The red, a fashionable potato in the west of England, failed altobether with us, and many of the delicate varieties are gone. The white potatoes, of which there are several excellent varieties, and Phillips's blues, stand better than any other. The latter, in appearance, resemble the Wor nester silk, and partake very much of the nature of the Rusliford, only that they present a smoother surface, and are of a deeper colour. I am convinced that the more lime and the less manure that is applied to the land for potatoes the better. The proprietors of allotment ground will do wisely to present their tenants with a little lime next season, for nothing is more suitable to the potato. The idea of discontinuing the growth of this valuable esculent, because it has failed the last two years, is too preposterous to be entertained for a mo ment. We might just as well discontinue the growth of turnips, swedes, and even cucumbers, for they have been similarly affected, although not to the extent of the for. mer. None hut the hardier sorts of potatoes must be planted, and that much earlier than is usually done, say in March instead of the latter end of April or beginning of May, as is too frequently the case. Those potatoes that were planted early this year are a fair crop and but little injured. Even supposing the frosts should check the early planted, which is seldom the case, de pend upon it, more are injured by late planting from droueht than by the frosts of April. It is said that about eighty years ago the potatoes were affected in the same way they have been the last two years, but that after the third year they suffered no more. Let us hope that it may be so again, for, whatever substitute you may introduce on the working man's table, rest assured that nothing will please and satisfy him so well as a few smoking hot mealy potatoes. It is all very well for those that have abundance of other things to recommend peas, swedes, and mangeld wurtzel, but it is not so easy to change the taste of a nation long accustomed to one kind of food. Let us trust to an over-ruling Providence, and I have little fear that the scourge will pass over, and that the poor man will again be comforted by a sight and taste of that vegetable which none of us can dis pense with, and which to him this season is so great a luxury.—Yours faithfully, Wick, Nov. 23. IL HUDSON, JUN. M. EUGENE SUE AND MR. MITCHELL. The following letter has been addressed to Mr. Mit chell, the director of the French Plays I learn, Sir, from my excellent friend the Count d'Orsay, that many persons of the highest consideration in England intend to offer you a public testimonial of the esteem in which they hold you, and of the livel y na tional interest they take in the establishment which you, Sir, direct, with so much intelligence, and with s o en lightened a love for the fine arts. I should rejoice, Si r , to add my name to those who so justly appreciate your exertions, and to express to you, as a Frenchman, all my gratitude for the generous and (Aerated zeal with which you foster and popularise in England, French dramatic art and literature, even as you so brilliantly inaugurated in France the master pv.Nductions of Eng. lish dramatic art. Continue, my friend, to act thus— to retain the approbation of persons of heart and of taste ; for such intellectual exchanges between our two nations must necessarily extend to their enlightenment, their aggrandisement, by creating a reciprocity of feel ing for genius, of which both have so much reason to beproud.—Receive, Sir, &c. " EUGENE SUE." An engagement has been settled with Mr. Bunn for the production of The Bohemian Girl, The Enchan tress &c., with the operatic company of Drury-lane, at the Surrey Theatre. The performances will commence en Easter Monday. MADAME Bisnor.— At the close of Madame Bishop's present engagement at Drury-lane, this distin guished vocalist will proceed upon her tour, which will comprise Dublin, Edinburgh, and the principal cities of England. The sum guaranteed to her by the Birming ham director alone amounts to 6001. So numerous are her engagements, that every hour will be engrossed for two months. She will return to L3nd , %n in time for the concert season. The operas in which Madame Bishop is to appear are La Sonnambula, An-a Bolena, Linda di Chamouni, Lucia de Lammermoor, L'Elisir d'Amore, and The Maid of Artois. Her engagements for the month of January will amount to nearly a thousand pounds ! a gratifying instance of the high popularity and splendid talents of a , native artiste. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—The telegraph has been laid down and covered in as far as Oakley-street, east side of Westminster-road. From Westminster-road the right-hand footway along Oakley-street and Gibson street has been opened to the depth of two feet, for the reception of the wires. ~~ . ...„.,,,.. . , , ( i ,„..,,,.. c4 ~,„ ~ __ ..,,,, _......, .....,. .. ..,.. .;, .. .4:- lIIIIIW • ....s. _ ~_ , ~, , r., :t e lt, . 4.* , fo ;\---. - - ~- -....------- , 7.4: • oi/mit,.

TIIMISDAY MORNING.—No description or recital can convey any idea of the extreme misery which exists here. Hunger, nakedness, sickness, and mortality almost equal to the ravages of epidemic dis ease, are the prevailing features of the dwellings of the poor here. Fever, of a type classed by the physician as famine-fever, afflicts hundreds of the poor, and dysen tery, produced by cold and want of nutritious food, is equally if not more general. The workhouse at present contains 900 paupers—considerably more than it was originally built for—the stables are used as dormitories. The Fever Hospital was built to accommodate forty patients—it contains to-day 161; and there are twenty more fever cases in the infirmary. The two nurses attached to the hospital are in fever, so is the school master, whose death was h our ly ex p ec t e d. The number of deaths which took place in the house from the Ist to the 30th of November, was 87. I copied them from the books--and there were five more reported this morning (Ist December). In fact, there are scarcely as many able bodied paupers in the house as can bury the dead, and they are taken cut for interment three at a time. One of the most remarkable illustrations of the nature of distress here, is a desire on the part of the poor to escape, if I may so call it, to anywhere, from the privations they endure at home. A small fund had been created, through the benevolence of the doctor and ' the apothecary of the workhouse giving up the proceeds of their vaccination contract, to enable some poor crea tures to go out of the country. Last week 107 of them were shipped from the town, at Baltimore, on board a collier to Newport—the owner, Mr. Swanton, having given them a free passage, while Dr. Donovan provided them "fit out," by releasing some few of their most in dispensable articles of clothing out of pawn, and giving them a small bag of biscuit for " sea store." I had an , opportunity of seeing anotner batch preparing to start on the cars for Cork, to proceed by the screw steamer for London, on Wednesday. Some of them were tradesmen, who expected work there, and whose miserable appear. ance showed how reduced was their eowlition,wben,thep had recourse to this alt e rn a ti ve . f There were also some half clad labourers, and some women and children who expected to find their husbands, fathers, or other relatives, to aid them in the great metropolis. I pro ceeded in company with Dr. Donovan, to a suhurb called Bridgetown, where he had a large number of sick calls to answer. We entere.l at least thirty of the huts, and such an aggregation of disease, hunger, naked ness, and cold, it is eat of the question to describe. In nearly every house we entered, men lay sick and moan ing in the wretched beds they had, or more generally on a small bundle of dirty straw on the earthen floor, far worse than swine are usually supplied with in ordinary farmyards. The only covering they had was the clothes worn by them at work; and the same total absence of food, firing, clothing, prevailed in each of the wretched cabins. We left the locality after a visit of about three hours, during which we witnessed the most distressing and painful illustrations of individual and general suffer ing that probably have existed anywhere within the knowledge of the present generation. TUESDAY EVENING, FIVE O'CLOCK.—I have ust re turned from the meeting, and from viewing two dead bodies in a house which I visited yesterday, and where no one complained of sickness. They died as most others have done, from inanition, rapid decay of the vital powers, arising from want of food. In fact, death in its most appalling form is hourly presented to our view—all talk of exaggeration is at an end. The people are dying, not by twos or threes, but by dozens—the ordinary forms of decent burial are dispensed with—the people, who not having the means of supporting life, look upon death with a callous indifference hitherto wholly un. known in Ireland; and when the dead bodies are put into a fragile shell, with the name of a coffin, those who bear it to the grave are the only persons who accompany it. I saw to-day arid yesterday several such funerals: not a living being but the four who had the coffin on their shoulders. OUTRAGES IN TIPPERARY-SHOCKING MURDER. The Tipperary Vindicator contains the following ap palling narrative:— ___ " NiNAGH, DEC. s.—We are deeply grieved to say that an unprovoked and most inhuman murder was per petrated on Wednesday night, at Loughorna, between Nenagh and Borrisokane, on the person of a poor man of the name of Hanley, who sold a pig that day in Borris, for the price of which his diabolical assailants attacked him. His house was entered soon after night fall. He had lodged the price of his pig in Borris, and the monsters being defeated in their object, fell upon the defenceless victim of their hellish malice, and lite rally beat his head to a jelly. The poor man resisted the robbers with all his might ; he broke a spade handle on the head of one of the villains, who was carried off, it is supposed, dead, in the arms of his comrades. An inquest was yesterday held, and a verdict of wilful murder returned. " Since the above was put in type we have been in formed that two men, of the names of Gaynor and Heffernan, have been arrested and lodged iu the county gaol on the above charge. " The house of a man of the name of Brien was at tacked at Barbaha on Thursday night. One or the assailants was entering through a window, when Brien, wh. was waitin, inside, took up a scythe, and making a desperate stroke with it across the head of the person entering, almost severed, it is thought, his head from his body. Blood was traced yesterday near the river. " Wednesday night the house of John Hogan, near Annaghbeg, was attacked by some armed men, who fired two shots into the house, and served Hogan with a threatening notice, that if a line of road in that district was not changed, he would suffer! The steward of the line resides in the house. " On the same evening as John Grace, of the same parish, Monsea, was proceeding near the cross of Rich mond, three fellows jumped from behind a ditch, seised him, and desired him to deliver his arms. Having searched Hogan, they found no arms, but robbed him of what money he had, his temperance medal, &c. " James Grace's haggard, near Annaghbeg, was en tered on Tuesday night, an 1 seventy stone of wheat was threshed out deliberately, and taken away." ROSCREA.—A sale of articles seized for rent due to Mr. O'Grady, of Dublin, was advertised for Friday, the 27th of November last, at Graffin, between Roscrea and Ternplemore, where a very large mob assembled. Several of them were armed and fired shots; the sale was subsequently relinquished, as the country people are determined to resist the payment of rent in any shape, and these small farmers, who are well able to pay, are the principals in those proceedings. Arms and ammuni tion are now so eas il y procured, that all the lawless ruffians in this part of the country are well supplied.— Leinster Express. PURCHASE OF FIRE-ARMS. —The Tipperary Free Press of this day says:—" The purchase of fire-arms in this town by the country people, who manifest the greatest avidity to possess themselves of these weapons, continues unabated. The mania, it appears, has extended to the north, and in Cavan and Fermanagh the sale of guns and pistols was never so great as at the present time." The Anglo Cek, published . in the northern county of heard that a tradesman was w 1:----" purpose about o to open a shop in the This very day we Cavan, contains the folio selling Birmingham town of Cavan for the fortune by the trade, muskets, with the hope of rea r lisin e of a lthough he expects to find his clfi m e e a f n cu i :to . mer s amongst , can only it remembered, l purchase the applicants for relief tickets— who, having nothing to defend these instruments of death for aggressive purposes." DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN THE KING'S COUNTY.IoeThe Dublin Mercantile Advertiser of yesterday s y 7 " Accounts reached town this morning of the total a s de struction by fire of Clonearl, the splendid residence o f William Henry Magan, Esq., in the King's County. I t is stated that the fire was accidental. Mr. Megan, on receiving this intelligence, left town this day for Clonearl. The mansion was erected by the father of that gentleman, at a cost of 80.0001. It was insured at the Royal Exchange, but we have not heard for what amount." A second edition of the Warder of this day contains the following:— " A very destructive fire has taken place at my neigh bour's, Mr. Mangan, of Cl onearl ; all hi s beautiful and furniture, are buildings, now in together fire broke out in one i of the sleeping-rooms, and t Is not as yet known from ashes.te The with he , a - vast deal of costly what cause.

On Saturday night, a thief went into the shop of a watchmaker, in Mark-lane, just as the proprietor, who has been in the habit of packing up his goods in a bag and taking them home every evening, was preparing to depart. The bag lay upon the counter—the thief seized it—threw a handful of pepper into the face of the shop keeper, and ran down Mark lane. The plundered man roared out lustily, and, notwithstanding the blinding effect of the pepper, ran out after the thief, who threw down the bag and vanished.

If the ports are not opened, it is not for want of agita tion. If Mr. Cochrane cannot ear❑ for himself a good name and a testimonial, he may, if he persevere man• fully, earn for himself a nick-name, and a tolerable share of ridicule. We should not be surprised if he went down to posterity with Single-speech Hamilton, Prospe rity Robinson, and other gentlemen of the same fortu nate class, as " Extraordinary-Necessity Cochrane." He is resolute to make out a case of extraordinary neces sity against Lord John Russell—but the First Lord of the Treasury is not to be convinced ; the Home Secretary is not to be convinced ; the public is not to be convinced. The only extraordinary necessity discernible, is the ne cessity of thanking God and being contented. No one but Mr. Cochrane and his disciples cad recognise in the fact of a steady fall in the price of every description of food any extraordinary necessity for opening the ports by an Order in Council. The question, be it remembered, it not whether the last rag of protection is to be torn in pieces by a vote of the representatives cf the people ; but whether the Ministry should take upon themselves the responsibility of an unconstitutional act —an act only justifiable under the pressure of some ex traordinary necessity. Mr. Cochrane, it is true, has discovered this necessity, in an increasing abundance of food, which may, perhaps, end in a glut—in a deprecia tion of prices which may eventually be ruinous to pri ♦ate speculators—but the discoveries of men, who are to go down to posterity, are not always appreciable by the understandings of ordinary individuals, whose fame will die with them ; and we confess that we are sufficiently obtuse not to perceive that it be comes more and more incumbent on Government to open the ports, as the once -prevailing scarcity becomes a tradi tion and the prospects of the country steadily improve. Mr. Cochrane has fallen upon evil times. He was born. as an agitator, a few months too late. In vain he ex claims to the prices of food, in the words of Milton's Satan— "Awake! arise! or be for ever fallen I" The exhortation is not heeded. They prefer their fallen state. It is impossible to say what, under happier auspices, he might not have achieved ; but now, whether he exhaust the patience of the Premier, or operate upon the unfailing urbanity of the Home Secretary, who will not pay the agitators the compliment of being ruffled, he bids fair in these hard times, encountered as he is by the stern refusal of esculents in general, and bread in par ticular, to rise at his bidding, to achieve for himself no thing more than the name of "Extraordinary-Necessity Cochrane ;" and if he be very ambitious of that distinc tion we may help him to secure it.—Atlas. OLrstric THEATRE.— A tribe of individuals, calling themselves the " Tennessee Minstrels," appeared at this theatre last night, going through a performance similar to that of the Ethiopian Serenaders, though with the inferiority that usually characterises imitations. They are, however, a clever set of grotesques, and their quick steps, songs, and glees, are amusing. The worthy who flourishes the bones is comic after his own peculiar fashion; and the congo-tambo gentleman has also a small impulse of humour. CONVERSION TO Ro3lll.—Mr. Cox, of Exeter Col lege, Oxford, was received last week into the Roman Catholic Church at St. Mary's College, Oscott. We understand that the Rev. R. W. Sibthorp has lately been on a visit to his Romaa Catholic friends near Birmingham. -- . _ COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert, took their usual early walk yesterday in the plantations of Osborne House. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice walked and rode on ponies yesterday forenoon in the drives and pleasure grounds of Osborne House. her Royal Highness the Princess Helena was also taken an airing yesterday. His Royal Highness Prince George has arrived a t hi s residence in St. James's Palace, from Ireland. Mr. C Marryatt and Mr. J. Marryatt had an inter view with Earl Grey yesterday at the Colonial-office. Lord Marcus Hill had also an interview with the Noble Earl yesterday. HAYMARKET THEATRE. Miss Reynolds, a young lady from the American thea tres, but who is, we believe (and we rejoice in the belief, for she is a girl of genius, and will be a credit to her country), an English woman born and bred, made her debut here last evening in the character of Kate O'Brien, the Lady of Munster, in poor Haynes Bayley's!admirable petite Comedyoj Perfection. Miss Reynolds possesses every requisite for the stage ; her features are expressive and agreeable; her form is faultless; her voice is clear and sil very, and she sings delightfully, rich, clearly, expressively, and always in tune. The character of Kate O'Brien was written expressly for Vestris, and most wickedly and witchingly did she act it, but with all our prepossessions in favour of Vestris and her version of the character, we are bound to confess that Miss Reynolds was more truly the lady of Munster, though, perhaps, less espiegle, she was more lady-like, more graceful, more the daughter of General O'Brien, more high-bred, in a word, than Vestris. Her songs were beautifully given. She was encored in all of them, and there was a bewitching archness about her in giving the delicious ballad " Not I," that was perfectly fascinating. From that moment the audience was with her, and, scene by scene, as the drama progressed, she increased the favourable impression she had made. In fact, to wards the conclusion it appeared as though an old favourite, who had secured a high position, and might even venture to take liberties with the audience, were acting the part, instead of a debutante. Her success was complete; she was called for at the fall of the curtain and received most enthusi4stically. Her versatility alone would secure her a high degree of success. When we add, that whatever she does, she does excellently well, there can be no doubt but that Miss Reynolds will attain the highest degree in her profession. We congratulate Mr. Webster in having secured such an acquisition to the Haymarket corps. (' _ _ '- - ~_-.-_ -- - Z , ~_-2_ ,---, PROJECTED RAILNAYS, ETC PARLIAMENTARY SESSION, 1847.

BRUSSELS, DEC. 3. —The Chamber of Representa tives continued the discussion of the budget of the Ma rine, which commenced yesterday. After the new ex planations given by M. Veydt and the Minister for Fo reign Affaira, tending to prove that the Government and the Colonisation Company, had given, and were still ready to give, to the colonists who desired to retnrn to Belgium, all desirable facilities to return home, M. Sigart consented to withdraw the amendment which he proposed yesterday. s M. de Broue Rene warmly recommended to the Go vernment the idea of establishing a commercial factory, instead of a colony, in Guatamaia. He al;. ured it of his concurrence, if it presented to the Legislm!ure an application for a vote of credit fur such a useful esta blishment, and held out the hope that the Chamber of Representatives would second it with pleasure. The Minister for Foreign Affairs announced that a company, whose object had already received the appro bation of the Chamber of Commerce of Ghent and Ant werp, was about to be formed, to establish at St. Thomas a commercial factory, and that it asks from Government no other assistance, than the establishment of a com munication by steam-boat between Antwerp and St. Thomas. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ In the debate on the articles of the budget, M. Osy proposed that Government should sell the unservice able gun-boats, and some regulations relative to the navigation of the Scheldt. M. Osy called on the Government for some explanation respecting the manner in which the Belgian flag is considered in Russia, as re gards the application of the duties of customs. The Minister replied, that the remonstrance of Bel gium having failed to obtain from the Russian Govern ment a better treatment of our flag, the Belgium Govern ment was considering what measures should be adopted. At length the Chamber voted the whole budget of the Marine, by a majority of 61 to 4. The Chamber finished the sitting by voting, with only► three dissentient voices, the project of law for continu ing, for one year, the provisional distribution of the land-tax. M. Claes de Semberg has made numerous trials of the process, invented in Germany, for making cheap bread, by mixing wheat flour with rasped beetroot. These trials have perfectly succeeded ; the poor families, to whom M. Claes has distributed some of the bread, have declared that they liked it quite as well as the ordinary second bread. A letter from Cologne, of the Ist, says—" This morn ing, at ten o'clock, Mr. Schuarzer, the chief editor of the Austrian Lloyd, arrived here. This gentleman, 115 we know, has undertaken personally to organise the more rapid arrival of the Indial mail through Germany. M. Schuarzer himself arrived by this mail. The steamer which conveyed the dispatches from Alexandria to Trieste, performed the voyage in six days and a half, in very stormy weather, which delayed the voyage a whole day. The courier was sixty hours on the way from from Trieste to Manheim. M. Schuarzer, who received the letters at Manheim, was sixteen hours and a half on the way from Mauheim to Cologne. After waiting a quarter of an hour, he set out with the seeona train in the morning for Ostend. whpro the .team-boat . resey for him, so that he will be at London early to-morrow morning, the 2d of December." BRUSSELS, DEC. 4.—The Chamber of Representatives commenced to-day the g( aeral discussion of the budget of Ways and Means. Before entering on the discussion, the Chamber received from the Minister of Finance the communication of a project of law, modifying the law of the 21st of July, 1844, relative to the differential duties. The Chamber referred this project of law to the Permanent Committee of Manufactures. The departure of the King from his estate at Ar dennes yesterday (Thursd a y), h as b een announc ed by mistake ; there is no such intention at present. A letter from Berlin, in the Nuremberg Correspondent., says it is affirmed that the affairs of Cracow were not discussed in the Council of State, but that it was the Prince of Prussia who, in his late visit in Austria, con structed the negotiations, and corresponded directly with the King. The Cabinet Ministers and the Councillors of State had no knowledge of them. VIENNA, Nov. 27.—The Grand Duke Alexander Crown Prince of Russia, has just arrived here, at one o'clock in the afternoon. The Prince had scarcely alighted from his travelling carriage, when he immedi ately hastened to visit her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Helen, his aunt, who is still here. LEINBURG, Nov. 21.—Thirty-one persons, who were concerned in the conspiracy at Przieemisl in the year 1842, received yesterday, in the Town-hall, their sen tence, which has been passed on them. The criminals consisted of officers, subalterns, cadets, and privates, of different regiments. Two officers, probably ringleaders, were in the first instance condemned to death, but their punishment was commuted to twenty years imprison ment in a fortress ; a regimental chaplain to twelve years imprisonment ; the cadets, subalterns, and pri vates to work on the fortifications for different periods of eight, ten, and more years ; one officer and a private were acquitted. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY. There was a good deal of heavy betting on a few of the Derby favourites, and not without some effect on th• prices. Van Tromp had two or three friends present, but an outlay of upwards of 8001. at 15 to 2 and 8 to 1, including a bet of 1600 to 200 laid outside, anything but improved his position, the last transaction being 1200 to 150; the layers were in a decided majority. Planet was backed at 25 to 1 in the early part of the afternoon, and at the close at 20 to 1. but only to a small sum. The Liberator was in great force, his owner having in a brief space invested nearly 8001. at 50 to 1. Wanota was also in favour, at 40 to 1, taken as long as any one would lay it. 1000 to 20 was taken five or six times, and 1000 to 25 once, about Red hart. 1000 to 30 about Lune dale. 1000 to 20 two or three times about The Cossack, &c., &c. 1400 to 200 was laid agst John Scott's lot, at least a point more than the market price; we doubt, indeed, if 6 to 1 could have been obtained afterwards. 7to 1 was offered agst John Day's lot. The following quotations are made up to the close of the rooms:— CHESTER CUP. 50 to lon the field. 2000 to 30 agst fir.

Mr. Mostyn's horses will continuo under Kent's care until after the next Goodwood Races. MADEMOISELLE RACHEL.—TiIiS eminent young actress has just forsaken the Jewish persuasion and be- come a convert to the Roman Catholic religion. She will in a few days be baptized by the Archbishop of Paris, Madame Recamier and the Duke de Noailles be ing her godmother and godfather. The Duke will pre sent his goddaughter on the occasion with a bouquet of diamonds worth 2.000/.—Siecle of Saturday. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—It is asserted that, on and after the Ist of January next, no goods trains are to run on the line of the London and North-Western Railway during the day, arrangements being in progress for conducting most, if not the whole, of the traffic during the night. To facilitate this object, and enable the directors to run additional trains during the day, the company intend to take the carrying busi ness into their own hands after the above date,••►Aria'c Birmingham Gazette.
