MORE PRESS PROSECUTIONS. (From the Dmily ilrews.) Within the last few days we have had to carry on a correspondence with the attorneys-at-law of Lieut.-General the Earl of Lucan ; and it has ter minated in an announcement by those gentlemen that they are instructed on the part of their noble client to bring an action for libel against this jour nal for an article on the Report of the Chelsea Board of General Officers, which appeared so long ago as the 26th July last, but which was complain ed of only two weeks since. Always ready to give reparation where injury is supposed to have been inflicted, we pursued the usual, and, as we think, the proper course, on receipt of Lord Lucan's first communication, and informed his Lordship that the columns of the Daily News were open to any explanations or complaints which he bad to make. TLis offer was somewhat imperi ously rejected, and an ample apology was peremp torily demanded fur the opinions we had expressed. As, however, the article sn which they were con tained was of a very general description, and treated of the whole conduct of the earlier part ef the war, we very natural ly requested Lord an's attorneys to point out the particular passages in it that were regarded as libellous by his Lordship, and to inform us of the nature and terms of the apology which Lord Lucan required. We did this in order that we might perfectly understand and , fully appreciate th e p rec i se na ture of Lord Lecan s conalilaint, and so be in a position thoroughly to estimate the extent of the reparation he sought. To this request Lord Lucan, has directed a refusal to be returned. He charges us with having libel led him, but he declines to inform us in what, or of what the libel consists. He refers us to the whole of an article of which nine-tenths concern other people, as being throughout libellous of him. Re fusing to specify the wrongs he thinks we have done him, he requires a most plenary apology, th e t erms and language of which heleaves to our own imagina tion, and, without even waiting to know whether we will or will not apologise for an offence of which we are refused knowledge, he demands the name, not of our friend, hut of our lawyer. His demand on that point having at least the merit of being intelligible, has, of course, been complied with, and in one of the common law courts of the Queen we shall be furnished in precise and clefini e terms with the language which Lord Lucan terms a libel, but which the Judges of this land and a British Jury may, after all, think to be a perfectly fair expression of opinion on his public and mili tary conduct. Conscious of having no personal ill-feeling or dis like of Lord Lucan, and having formed our judg ment on his conduct in the Crimea, and sub es quently out of the Crimea, on data before all the world, we are not at all inclined to shrink from de fending in a court of justice the opinions we have deliberately expressed. If, therefore, Lord Lucan means in our person to attempt to punish the Press because, in thehonest discharge of its duties, it has pronounced a judgment adverse to him, or endeavour to repress that freedom of discussion which Lord Lucan himself has, on more than one occasion, publicly ca rr i e d t o an extent and licence which it is not the practice of respectable journals to indulge in, we are quite content to meet him. We have no love of legal strife or contention, but if through our means Lord Lucan seeks to obtain the opinion of a Jury of Englishmen on the part he played in the Russian war, and in the controversies which arose out of his removal by the Queen, on the recommendation of Lord Hardinge, from the command of the Cavalry Division in the Crimea, we feel that we haveagreat public duty to perform, and however indisposed generally to appear as de fendants in courts of law, we will enable him to take that opinion. Restless and impatient at Lord Hardinge's twice-repeated refusal of a court martial to investigate the transactions which produced his dismissal, Lord Lucan may have resolved on vindicatin g himself, if he can , be fore a civil tribunal. If so, we shall at least have a cause celcbi-e with which to amuse and in struct thepublic, Of its result we have no serious apprehensions. At all events, the liberty of the press, and the right and duty of free discussion on all public questions, shall not suffer at our hands. For any verbal harshness of expression we might have expressed regret ; but for the general judg ment we have passed on Lord Lucan, in his public capacity, we cannot apologise, because we fed There is nothing in that judgment for which an 'apology is due. It would not become us further to allude to a matter which must be settled elsewhere, nor should we now have brought forward this topic so promi nently if it had not happened that this attempt to coerce the expression of opinion had been nv.de almost contemporaneously with the publication, by Lord Lucan, of a little book under the title of "English Cavalry in the Army of the Etst, 1854 and 1855," but which contains only " divisional orders and correspondence whilst under the co;n mand of Lieutenant-General the Earl of Lucan. 1C.C.8.," and is stated to be, in fact, the intended appendix to a larger work. We cannot imagine the "circumstances which have made it desirable that their publication should not be further de ferred," but we presume that our noble antagonist can scarcely object to our giving increased public: 'y to a work of so much interest, in his eyes. We have carefully perused these orders and that cor respondence, and while we find in them ainp!e proof of Lord Lucan's military spirit, and are disposed to hope that zeal for the service of his country was the guide of his conduct in the sad affair at Balaklava, they yield, we must say, most abundant support to the adverse opinion generally entertained by the public as to the character and composition of the Staff. It is impossible to rise from a perusal of this little volume without feeling that a conviction existed both in the minds of the officers of high social rank in the Crimean army, and of its first General, that they were a peculiar class to be specially cared fer and treated, and we cannot show this better than quoting somewhat at large from the correspoe. deuce contained in it. On the 9th of January, 1855, Lord Lucan, in a letter to Lord John Rus sell, complaining of his observations in Parliament on the Balaklava charge, says— With many officers in this army, a sense of duty and an ambition of professional distinction are the sole in ducemen ts to hold commands of great responsibility under no ordinary difficulties. How mortifying and how great must be the disappointment of any such ofilcA., etc:. Now what does this imply but that there aresrime officers to be more considered than others by their superiors and the Government, because a sense of duty and ambition of distinction are their " sole inducement to hold commands ?" Other officers hold commands as a means of living, and a life long profession ; but they are another and different sort of people—their feelings are to be differently estimated and treated. And this correspondence proves that such was actually the case in the army of the Crimea. Twice did Lord Lucan address (once in June, 1854, and again in August, 1851) letters intended for Lord Raglan's perusal of a character such as we do not care to describe. To the former of the communications he received the fol lowing replies and entreaties from Lord De Ros then high on, Lord Raglan's staff :--. Scutari June.ll, 1854. My dear Lucan,—lf you require it, I will ,deliver your letter to Lord Raglan, but if you leave anything to my judgment, I strongly advise this letter being sup prossed. My opinion is, that you should go to Varna ; and I shall press that opinion both on public grounds and from private friendship. Unless I hear again from you to-day, I shall not deliver your letter. Think it well over, and do not send it me unless you are convinced I am wrong. —Ever truly yours, Signed) DE Ros. Well, Lord D e Ros did, from " private fiend ship," press his o pi n i on on Lord Raglan that Lord Lucan should not beleft at Kulalie, asLord. Raglan had previously determined, and of course Lord Lucan, despite his suppressed letter, had his wishes gratified. June 12, 1554. My dear Lucan,—On my suggesting this morning to Lord Raglan the advantage of your being at Varna, to superintend the arrival and quartering of cavalry regi ments as they arrive, he agreed to it ; and you will there• fore be so good as to hold yourself in readiness to pro ceed thither in a few days.—Faithfully yours, (Signed) DE Ros. Ilajor•General the Earl of Luean, Commanding Cavalry Division. Lord Lucan's second letter was addressed to the "Commander of the Forces" himself, and it com plained, in the strongest terms, of the favouritism shown to Lord Cardigan, and Lord Raglan's dis paragement of himself, notwithstanding Lord Lucan had "had the honour and pleasure of Lord Raglan's intimate acquaintance during many years." No w t o thi s l etter is appended . "Note. —The above letter was withdrawn.—Lucas." Here we have two of Lord Lucan's letters with drawn. At last, however, in September, 1854, when in the Crimea, Lord Cardigan in his turn complains • of Lord Lucan to Lord Raglan. On this occasion Lord Raglan decided that Lord Cardigan was " wrong in every one of the instances cited." But such was the display of animosity before him in the correspondence, " which he h a d perused with, the deepest regret," that Lord Raglan humbly appealed to two officers of that class o e, f his army with whom , to to use Lord Lucan's languag "a sense of duty and ambition of professional distinction are the sole inducement to hold commands," in the followi n terms : The Ehrl of Lucan and the Earl of Cardigan a re nearly connected. They are both gentlemen of high honour and elevated position in the country, indepen dently of their military rank. They must permit me, as the Commander of the Forces—and, I may say, THE SUN, LONDON; SATulloAle P.VENINc, sEPTEmBRIt 201 the friend of both, earnestly to recommend to them to onumunicate freely with each other, and to come, to such a❑ understanding as that there shou d be no su , picion of the contempt of authority on one side, and no apprehension of undue influence on t i other. RAGLAN. Even this appeal of "the friend both" failed ; to the last hour they were both in he Crimea the controversy as to authority was prolonged. That, however, is not the question just now. We simply quote these pissages to show that the distinc tion asserted by Lord Lncan in his letter to Lord John Russell, and referred to by Lord Raglan himself in his memorandum, did practically exist in the British army in the East ; that it was recog nised by Lord Raglan's staff ; that it influenced Lord Raglan himseli'; and that the complai n t s o f favouritism and nepotism, which at first whispered, became louder and more general among the British public as the horrible sufferings of our army be. came more fully known, were well founded ; and the rummer in which these facts are paraded to the public eye without any serve of their impropriety and evil consequences, shows how much remains to beldone by public opinion before a real and effec tual reform will he carried out in the British army.. THE NEAPOLITAN DIFFICULTIES. (From the Morning Post of this day. ) Our Paris Correspondent informed us yesterday, in the letter which appeared in our second edition, that the French Government, unless some unforeseen event occur, is about to recall M. Brenier and the whole of the embassy from Naples. To this we may now add that a similar course will, we are enabled to state, be taken by the Queen's Government. The whole of our diplomacy will be recalled froilr i the Neapolitan Court. We shall send, as will 'the French, two line-of-battle ships and a correspond ing force of frigates. These will be the representa tives of the Alliance—these will protect the interests of the subjects of both Powers—through these alone will either communicate with the King. It will be seen from these facts that there is no doubt of the correctness of our Correspondent's statement. He goes on to to add, that the last despatches of the French diplomatist do not now hold out any hopes of an amicable settlement of the Neapoli tan difficulties. In this assertion we are quite convinced that both he and the diplomatist are warranted by the truth. It is not likely that the unwise and cunning obstinacy which the King has always hitherto displayed, and iu which he is supported by the few evil councillors on whom he leans, should leave him suddt nly on the arguments of England and France. It is not likely that the doubtful mediation of Austria would change more than the words of that unhappy Monarch who is cursed with the domination of a cOllll try which God has made the fairest, and which his terrible misrule has made the most wretched, on the face of the earth. We believe, therefore, that there is no likelihood of a return to friendship between the Court of Naples and those of France and England. Wnat part these great Allied Powers may be ultimately compelled to take in the settle ment of Neapolitan and of Italian affairs remains to be determined. The question of interference in the internal con cerns of foreign States, of meddling with their misgovernment, is, without doubt, delicate and difficult. We avoid doing this ; and, unless we did so most strictly, unless we laid down a broad line on the subject, we should be perpetually at war. We allow kings and subjects, as a rule, to settle these matters between themselves. We merely give to the former advice which we think will save them from the effects of the madness of the latter when they have raised it by long perse verance in ill-treatment. But, when advice of this sort is treated with scorn—when it is met by inso lence or evasion—when the certain consequences of the course are such as threaten the peace of Europe, the Great Alliance which has undertaken to keep that peace is bound to make some effort beyond that of using words which have been used again and again, and have be en f oun d ineffectual.° The Allied Powers do not interfere between the Govern ment and those whom it so grievously misgoverns. That is a measure which can only be warranted by a very extreme state of things, by the absolute ne- ' cessity of a general agreement to restore order, if it be found necessary, by force. We have, however, undoubtedly in such a case as that of Naples, the right to withdraw our diplomatic force, to decline all further communication according to the usual forms of peace, to abstain from giving, by our presence as a State, our encouragement and our sanction to a policy which is ruining the fairest country in the world, which persists in condemning to a torture, on which we shudder to think, some of its best and noblest citizens. No State, no man, can accuse us of hasty dealing or precipitation in this [natter. We have tried with the greatest care and patience to make ourselves heard and understood by the Monarch of a third-rate State. We have utterly failed in all our attempts. We have awaited calmly the effects of the mediation of another power. That has also failed. We have nothing left but to decline any guise of friendly relations with a system which is abhorrent to us ; to with draw from all official communication with the au thor cf that system ; to protect our subjects and our interests by the presence of a strong armed force, such as can fully control any mischief that the king of Naples may devise. A short time will show us how that Sovereign will comprehend and how he will act on this last and strongest argu ment of the Western Alliance. IRELAND. DUBLIN, FRIDAY MORNING. THE TIPPERARY BANK. Acting upon the advice suggested by some of tho Irish jouruals, it is probable that the deposi tors of the ill-fated Tipperary Bank will take coun sel together, with a view of avoiding or staving off the wiaolesale litigation foreshadowed in a state ment copied in The SUB, of Tuesday from one of the Dublin morning papers. November term is at hand, and a creditor of the bank warns the depoki tors that if the thoucAnd writs threatened should actually be issued the cost of resistance in each case would not ke less than 101. Last term there were four writs issued by the Court of Common Pleas against, four of the shareholders on a debt of 201., and gnat proceeding will in a ll lik e h oo d in crease t'Ae original debt of 201. to 2201. If the deposit„ors, therefore, are men of common sense, they must see the dangers which beset them at every side, and that nothing but prompt action can rescue them from a position even more hope less, than that which they held in the month of July last. The case is almost desperate. The following proceedings in reference to the affairs of James Sadleir took place yesterday in the office of the Master in Chancery : " Mr. Galvin, from Mr. J. D. Meldon's office, ap peared betore the Master to submit a statement on the part of Mr. M`Dowell, the receiver and responaent in the case, relative to the furniture of Mr. James Sadleir, which had been seized, and to take the Master's direc tions as to how it should be disposed of ; and also with respect to the letting of part of the lands of Kilconnel, Ballyvelade, and Coolna,muck. The statement set forth that a portion of the furniture was deposited in the store of 'Alr. Thornton, auctioneer in Clonmel, and another portion was stored in the establishment of Mr. Dillon, auctioneer in this city ; that the furnit ure wou ld b e d e • teriorated in value it kpt in store longer ; that it would be for the advantage of the estate to have it sold forth with ; and that the solicitor for Mr. James Sadleir had consented that it should be sold by the receiver. "Mr. Findlater (of the firm of Findlater and Co., soli citor for the pe'itioner) said that when the matter was before the Chancellor they pointed out the benefit of having the furniture sold, but the proposition was op posed by Mr. Sadleir's counsel, and the Chancellor re fused to make the order. " The Master asked how he could make it if the Chan. cellor had refused ? "Mr. Findlater said the Chancellor had declined to make the order because counsel on the past of Mr. Sad leir opposed it ; but his solicitor now consented that the receiver should have the furniture sold, It should now be decided whether the portion of the furniture which was in Clonmel should be sold there, or whether it would' be better to have it all brought to Dublin for sale. Some of the furniture was of such a character that it would be injured if kept in store any longer; it included a mirror that cost 1201. There was a large quantity of plate and jewellery wh ch had not yet been found, but they still roped to be able to discover where it was deposited. "The Master said he would make the order for the sale of the furniture by the receiver in such manner as would be most beneficial for the estate. " Mr. Galvin said the statement also referred to por tions of the lands abovementioned, which had been in the possession of Mr. James Sadleir. There was some good winter pasturage, for which a fair price could now be obtained, and it was suggested that it would be as well to have it let at once. There were at Bilconnell some large heaps of lime, and some farming implements, which ought to be disposed of. " The Master observed, that this property having been in the possession or oocupation of Mr. Sadleir himself, it was a subject for consideration whether it would be judicious.to let the land now for grazing purposes. " After some discussion, "'l't a Master said that if the receiver advertised for proposals to be sent in within ten days for the grazing of the portion of the lands in question he would be able to see what description of persons proposed to take them, and whether it would be advisable to accept their pro posals. "An order to this effect was made." execution of the convict M'Cready, of the 60th Light Infantry, says :-- " On Monday next the extreme penalty of the law, the forfeiture of his life, will be undergone by thi unfortunate man, who, it will be remembered, was convicted at the last assizes of having wilfully killed Sergeant Guinea, by discharging a loaded musket at him, in the Fermoy Barracks. The unhappy man has, since his sentence was pa.sed, deported himself with the utmost propriety of conduct, attending with the most marked attention to the religious ministrations of the Roma❑ Catholic chaplain of the prison, who has been unremitting and indefatigable in his exertions to afford the convict all the consolation and comfort of religion. M'Cready, we understand, seems reconciled to the fill s filment of the terrible sentence, and has not been heard to speak in any harsh terms against the witnesses on whose testimony he was convicted."

The Shannon, 50-gun frigate, the most modern and heaviest of her clas, , , and of 600 horse power, has been commissioned at Port-mouth by Captain W. Peel, C.B. She will have a complement of 560 men. The Seahorse, 12, mortar ship, Capt. Heath, C.D., left Portsmouth for the westward on Thursday. Her Majt,sty's ship Agamemnon, 91, was taken into the steam-basin at Portsmouth on Thursday for repairs. Toe Cruiser, 17, Commander Fellowes, bent sails at Portsmouth on Thursday. The Powerful, 84, Capt. T. L. Massie, now at Chat ham, waiting to be paid off, is ordered to be stripped, her ,hot and 'Mel' taken out, and her guns to be landed at ;:he dockyard. As soon as her crew have been paid off stiP will be put out of commission and placed in ordinary. The Meauee, 80, lying at Chatham, is ordered to be fitt,d with a screw and brouzht forward for sea. The Leander, 50, Capt. E B. Rice, recently arrived at Chatham from the Mediterranean to be paid off, has uoinmenced being stripped and having her fittings re moved. Her crew are waiting the orders of the Mini ra.lty t be paid off. On Thur,day the trial of the engines of the new screw steam corvette Scylla, 21 guns, 400 horse power (nomi nal), took piece in the fitting basin, at Sheerne ss , uuler the superintenden ce o f M r .

Tile engines in every part worked admirably, without the slightest symptom of a hot bearing. She will very shortly be ready for the pendant. A court-martial has been ordered to be held on board the Waterloo flagship at Sheerness, this day. The pro secutor is Mr. John T. Caddy, surgeon of the Di:lo, mainst two of his brother.officers belonging:to. the gun room mess of that ship.

No 124, arrived m i Portsmouth on Thursday from th 3 Crimea, with stores, Tt,e transport Calliope, on Thursday ordered up from Woolwich to enter the Victoria Docks, laden with a full cargo of peat and charcoal, returned from the Crimea, wa3aesterday morning ordered back to Woolwich ar senal to discharge. The transports Ohio, the L9onard D )bbin, the Wm. Wallace, and the Isabella Bligh arrived yesterday mc•rn log at Woolwich with returned Ordnance stores from the East. The Isabella Bligh is laden with 750 tons of powder and ammunition. A. number of fine young men yesterday morning pre sented themselves for enrolment in the corps of Royal Artillery at head quarters, Woolwich. Recruiting plarties are 'stationed at Leeds, Lincoln, Carlisle, and Leith; fort, in order to supply the casualties which occur.. in the re giment, which is to te kept up to 20,000 strong. The deaths, desertions, &0., calculated at about 40 per week, are sought to be renewed by recruiting from the ages of 18 to 22. 180 men of the Royal Artillery arrived at Dalin coliig barracks on Tuesday. They had been for some weeks on the route, having mr.rched from Woolwich to Liverpool, crossed by steamer to Dablin,mialarcyheedhuotato C., , rk, end thence to Ballincollig. They re cen€ly returced from the Crimea, and most of them wear medals. The barracks at Ballincoltig were never known to 134 so full as they are at present. They are occupied solely by artillerymen, of whom about 560 are stationed there. There are also a large number of horses, guns, ambulance and ammunition waggons, spare wheels, and other field reqUisites. The men are very fine-looking fellows, in a thorough state of efficiency, and are kept canatantly exercising. The whole are under the medical charge of Dr. Rountree. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—M. W. H. Parker (confirmed), as Master, in seniority, Nov. 19, 1855 ; Wm. Anderson (confirmed), as Assistant-Surgeon of Sanspareil, August 31, 1855. STATE OF THE LABOUR-MARKET. The Evening Post calls attention to a remarkable circumstance which has marked the progress of this year's harvest—namely, an equality of wages for labour in England and in this portion of the United Kingdom. After a brief reference to this strange feature of the social revolution the Post proceeds as follows : " Some days since we copied a paragraph, mention ing that hundreds of labourers bad returned to Dun dalk, after failing in their attempts to obtain employment in England. While they had been away there had been complait is of the want of labourers at home, and wages advanced considerably in most parts of Ireland. From 2s. to 3s. per day were usually paid in those districts from which we have obtained reports ; and, in some cases—probably few in number—food was given with 3-. per day. This, we believe, is fully as high a rate of remuneration, if not higher, than the rate ordinarily paid for fieldwork in England during the present har vest. We know that there has been within the last few years a tendency to increase of wages in this country from the miserable rates which had prevailed in former years, and when the late Duke of Wellington proposed, by legislation, to provide for the payment of wages to agricultural lab ourers i n money. We rememer a case that was heard not very long ago, at Macroom Sessions, where a labourer who had been for several weeks employed by a farmer, sought to recover a sum equal to ld. per day for his time and labour ! This might have been a merely exceptional case ; but there can be no doubt that wages, for many years before the famine, seldom were up to ls. a-day, and were generally not more than half that amount. Very often money was not paid at all, a small portion of po- Woe land forming the remuneration for labour. This system was at the very root of the social evils of the ucuntry, and had been productive of the worst possible consequences. Fortunately a great change has occurred since the famine in everything connected with Irish agri culture ; the condition of the labourer has been steadily improving, and it will not, we believe, be materially af fected by the introduction of reaping -machines or other substitutes for human labour, because there will be ample means of profitable employment in branches •F husbandry in which machinery cannot be made avail. able. A correspondent of this journal, thoroughly ac quainted with farming, and who has long taken the deepest interest in the welfare of the labouring classes, has called our attention to the fact that labourers have been during this harvest so scarce in some parts of Meath that women had to be employed as reapers. In a com munication received yesterday from this gentleman he says, Last Thursday, near Duleek, nearly 30 women were reaping a field of oats, and one man, probably the bailiff, was euperintendiog the work.' Altogether the Irish labourers, as well as the farmers, have had a good return from the present harvest ; and, for this reason, the state of affairs is sound. There can be no real pros perity in which the labouring classes do not adequately participate. When those clan-es have their toil fairly rewarded, aid trade and agriculture are in as wholesome a state as we believe thorn to be at this moment in Ire land, it may truly be said that the country is tending to a flourishing condition, likely, according to all human calculations, to continue." THE POTATO CROP. The Banner of Ulster gives a most gratifying re port of the state - a the potato crop•both in the north and south : "The potato crop (says the Banner) is still `to the ;ore,' and however seriously the fact may tell on the feel ings of the panic-mongers, we must admit that the plague has passed off with few vestiges of its former do vastation. Three weeks ago there were most melancholy accounts of ' decided disease' in the potato, and lovers of the doleful revelled in graphic details of the blackened stalks and dying tubers. It is hard to disturb the visions of these people ; but, as truth is sometimes necessary even on the subject of Ireland's potato crop, we can only state that the prospects of an abundant yield in this de partment of farm produce have never been bet'er than preSent. Several of the most extensive growers in Down have stated to us that, so far as they have raised their potatoes this season, the bulk is fully equal to that of 1839, and the quality is, perhaps, the finest ever raised in Ireland. The white rock variety has turned out a gross produce of large and small tubers which would average 250 bushels per acre ; and the coarser descrip tions o the potato—those chiefly used in cattle-feeding, but which will not be ripe for some weeks to come—pro raise to produce 300 bushels to the statute acre. It is probable that the potato lands of Ulster—the rich and the inferior in soil—will yield an average of 200 bushels p:r acre. The quality of this class of food is admitted to be very superior, and thus the produce will be consider ably more valuable. Several of the new varieties are turning out well, and the older descriptions such, as the lumper,' have become greatly improved by cultivation. The local markets are well supplied with excellent qua lities, which are retailed at 4d. to 4d. per stone, and of this chtapness the working ranks fully avail themselves. It is pretty, certain, however, that we shall never again see the day when the masses of Ireland's industrial ranks will subsist, as they were wont to do, on mere potato diet. Fifteen years ago there were at least 2,000,000 of persons in this country who were fed ex clusively on potatoes, and about an equal number had recourse to the same description of food at least twice a-day. Many small farmers, too, lived almost solely on the produce of their potato fields. The famine was a terrible ordeal, and the suffering directly created by that visitation was intense beyond the power of de scription ; but, under Providence, much good has arisen from it s Sinc3 1847 the physical condition of Ireland has gradually improved ; the use of grain food, then in troduced by stern necessity, has created a sweeping revo lution in dietetics ; and even the kingdom of Connaught now consumes wheaten and other flourto an extent hardly credible. In the south of Ireland the potato crop is ex cellent, but its production is not so extensive as to send back the now strong men of that province to the salt her ring and the potato basket. Human bones and sinews are now of such value that their exercise comma - tots a full rate of wages, giving the men of toil ample means to purchase grain food and a moderate supply of colonial luxuriee, such as tea, sugar, and coffee. What would the late Lard of Darrynane have thought of 3s. 6d. or 4s. a day for labour in the corn fields, or how would he have exulted to see a family of the finest peasantry' seated at a meal made up of articles raised in three quar ters of the glebe Giving a full margin for any loss that may be eventually produced by the potato disease, there will still remain a large average crop as compared with late years. This is highly gratifying, and still more satisfactory is the undoubted fact that the potato has ceased to be the staple food of Ireland's people." THE CONVICT SOLDIER. The Cork Reporter, referring to the approaching IRISH LUNATIC ASYLUMS. It is stated that Sir Thos. Redington has been appointed chief commissioner to.inquire into the state and management of district lunatic asylums in Ireland, with a view to increased buildings and better classification of the inmates.

BuAness made no progress. The Cup excited much discussion, but Fandango was the only animal in de mand. At one time the fielders made a strong show of opposition, but at last Fandango was firm at evens. 100 to 30 was taken about Warlock, and early in the evening 4 and sto 1 were taken about Lance. In the course of the evening considerable discussion took place as to whether the Doncaster Cup was a p.p. race or not, and almost all the bets were booked with the stipulation that they were p.p.—an unnecessary precaution, as the Don caster Cup was included in the list of p.p. races when the rule regulating p.p. races was made.

Observe—opposite the York Hotel. By leer Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for valuable and extraordinary improvements in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Racecourse, Opera, and Per spective Glasses, to know the distances. These telescopes possess such extraordinary powers that some three and a-half inches, with an extra eye-piece, 'Gill show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the double stars. With the same telescope can be seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers accordingly,—Th e ' Royal Exhibition, 1851. Valuable, newly-invented, very small, powerful waistcoat-pocket glass, the size of a walnut, by whict a person can be seen and known 1. miles distant; they answer every purpose on the race-course, and at the opera houses, country scenery, and ships are clearly seen at 8 to 10 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Op era , nee-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with wonderful power. Newly-constructed Spectacle Lenses of the great est transparent power. The valuable advantage derived from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is preaerved and strengthened, and very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occu pation can see with these lenses of a much less magnify.. iug power—and they do not require the frequent change, to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Persons can be suited at the most remote part of the world, by sending one of the glasses out of their spectacles in r letter, and stating the distance from the eyes they can react small newspaper print with it; and hose who have not made use of spectacles by i stating-. eir age.—Deaf- I t ness.
